Chapter 79 - Athena and Ariel's Training!!

...........

Kayn arrived at the Dome Arena right when they appeared. Ariel spotted Kayn and flew towards him, but Athena was in a stunned state looking at the dome in the middle of nowhere, which was in the forest. Athena came out of her stupor after some time and also landed near Kayn, at this time, Kayn had already explained to Ariel what their training would be like.

"Okay, first we will do some gravity training!" Kayn said.

"Just that, we've done this type of training back at home." Athena was disappointed.

"It is that, but you'll be wearing this for your training under the gravity force." Kayn pulled out some strange weight suits for both of them. One was pink while the other was blue, it was the ones Kayn and Sasha used during those days.

"Hmm, what are these supposed to be?" Ariel was curious as she looked at them, she had never seen or heard of such a training method.

"These are weighted clothes, you'll be wearing these during every training session, including fights." Kayn planned to even have them wear them when they're fighting the puppets, this would surely have them improve much faster. Kayn also noticed that he couldn't feel Ariel's power level at all, she seemed to be really good at hiding it.

"Okay, put them on and let's begin phase one." They both nodded and put the weighted clothing on and their faces changed a bit once they felt the weight. "Phase one for Ariel will be you versus this guy here." Kayn waved his hand and the White Crystal puppet showed up. Athena's face turned cold when she saw the puppet, her history with this guy wasn't all good.

"What is that thing, it looks really interesting, so I don't mind playing with it for a bit." Ariel was all smiles as she scanned the puppet from head to toe.

"Ariel, be careful, this thing is shameless to the extreme and it will use annoying tricks to win a fight!" Athena murderously stared down the puppet. The puppet seemed to have noticed and remembered Athena as it showed a mocking smirk on his face, its crystal eyes flashed with disdain.

"You..! I challenge this thing again, to the death even!" Athena really couldn't stand this puppet, how dare a mere puppet mock her! She was confident that she could put this thing down for good in a real fight.

"Calm down Athena!" Ariel held Athena back from attacking the puppet that had a mocking grin on its face and continued "This guy is interesting indeed!" Ariel was smiling brightly, she had never seen anything like this before and wanted it for herself.

"Okay, Ariel, you get on the stage that has the red flag next to it. Athena, you'll be fighting this guy, for now." Kayn waved his hand and a Red Ruby puppet appeared. This puppet felt far more menacing than any of the ones she had fought before. "I don't expect you to win, so this is just for testing purposes. Don't worry, its power level has been adjusted to be around yours, so it okay." Kayn explained

Athena looked at the puppet closely. It looked similar to the crystal white puppet but was red instead, it was also slightly taller and more bulky. The puppet had a serious expression on it, this puppet seemed to be more on the serious side rather than the shameless side, like the white crystal one.

"Wow, this one looks much cooler than that annoying white one." Athena then looked over at the white puppet with a contempt. But what happened next almost made Athena have a heart attack from rage, the white crystal puppet simply gave her the middle finger and jumped onto the stage after doing so.

"H-How D-Dare you!" Athena rushed the white puppet but was stopped by Ariel and Kayn at the same time.

"Relax Athena, are you really going to stoop to its level?" Ariel calmed Athena down with her words, well, it really didn't calm her down but cooled her down a bit if I had to say so myself. Athena harrumphed coldly towards the White puppet and jumped onto the other stage that had a blue flag next to it. The stages were some ways away, so they couldn't interfere in each other's battles by no means.

Following that, Ariel hoped on the stage with the white puppet. Kayn didn't have high hopes for the white puppet against Ariel since he knew she was definitely stronger than it. He wasn't able to see Ariel's power level so he couldn't boost the power level of the puppet to meet her standards. Sadly, Kayn probably won't see Ariel's annoyed expression from this fight, he knew the results. On the other hand, the Red puppet jumped onto the blue flag stage with Athena.

"Okay, the battle will start in 2 minutes. Prepare by stretching your limbs before the fight!" Kayn was a little worried about them fighting right after eating but made them do so anyway. Both of them didn't have a problem with it so they decided to fight. Kayn had decided to have them take off the weighted clothes and just used his ability to add weight to the armor they were already wearing.

"The battle will start in 25 seconds, be one guard!" Both Athena and Ariel had just gotten done with a few stretches, this time around, they were wearing armor for battle. This was the reason it took them much longer to arrive here than usual, they were simply changing their clothes for training.

The time was ticking, both sides of each ring were staring each other down. The Red puppet Ruby-like eyes stared down Athena with determination. Athena wasn't surprised to see such a human-like reaction from it, she had already deemed that these puppets weren't normal at all.

However, this wasn't the same for Ariel, she was too surprised to see the human-like behavior from these puppets. A glint of cunningness flashed in the white puppet's eyes, it was like it was thinking of what trick to use on Ariel. "Remember, if you're knocked out of the area during the fight, you lose, so don't touch anything out of the arena." Kayn gave one last warning.

"In 3-2-1- Fight!" Kayn yelled and both sides began to fight as they clashed. Athena wasn't having such a good time, this puppet's brute strength and close combat was no joke, it was a true martial artist! It was countering everything Athena swung at it, it was also much faster than her, this was obviously due to the weighted clothes she wore.

Ariel was stunned seeing the tricks this white puppet was pulling but under absolute power, it didn't work on her at all. She burst out of the galactic donut using her Ki and Brute strength with ease. However, she did get caught with a few punches due to the trickster using solar flare. She was stunned again because this was the move that Athena used to escape from the watchmen from yesterday.

After about 20 minutes, the white puppet was defeated, it was blown out of the ring like a leave caught in a tornado, it couldn't resist at all. After she beat the white puppet, Kayn recalled it back and began to watch Athena's battle. Ariel was the same and also watched the fight. Kayn felt bad because this puppet hadn't even used any crazy techniques yet, it was mainly a fighter rather than a Ki user.

Soon, Athena was blown out of the ring like a torpedo, she looked just like one from the way she flew out of the stage! "Is it me or does she really look like a rocket and was literally launched!" Kayn couldn't help but say. Ariel started laughing with tears in her eyes, she wasn't stupid, it did indeed look like so.

Athena stomped in anger with her defeat and got even more mad when she heard Ariel laughing at her. "Dang it, Ariel, what is so funny!?" Athena really showed that she was a sore loser and Ariel knew this as well, that was one of the reasons it was so funny.

"Oh, calm down Ariel, there is always a next time." Ariel waved her hand and stopped laughing. Athena sighed, she knew she was a sore loser and hated to lose but you can't win them all. But the thing is, has she ever won anything!?

"Okay, I won't comment on how you got smashed by the puppet but I have a better way for you to train." Kayn stopped and thought for a second, then nodded. "I am going to train you guys and teach you both a technique, it is called Kaio-Ken. But before I teach you, you can never teach this to no one but your children, and that's only if you ask me." Kayn looked at both of them with a playful smile on his face.

"I swear, I will never teach anyone this technique in my life unless I run it by you." both of them said in unison. Kayn wasn't worried anyway, they didn't have the ability to teach anyone the Kaio-ken Technique.

"Okay, but it will take some time to learn. I have something that can speed up your progress when the time comes but first you must learn the steps of this technique." They both nodded like chicken pecking grain. Kayn began to relay what the technique could do, he told them that it could boost their power level by x2, x3, x4, x10, and x 20 if their skills got better at it. Kayn also adamantly warned them about the dangers of this technique, he advised them to use a higher level of this technique for quick burst attacks for safety purposes. He told them that if they weren't advanced enough with the move, then don't amp it up.

They both opened their mouths wide open in shock, it was the legendary technique that could boost Ki like those people who could transform. One must know, these techniques were hard to come by in the known universe so how could they not be happy.

"Okay, let's start!" Kayn wanted to let them get a feel for it quickly, so he went to Kaio-ken and insert it his Ki into them. They were amazed at the red energy around Kayn, but still kept cool when he was inserting energy into them.

They both got a feel for the energy in them but needed to train it. Thus, they both began to harness and control the Ki in their bodies which required a lot of concentration. But even with this, it would still take about a year for them to use the move successfully, there was only one thing he could do for them.

Soon, a week went by and they continued to train the technique with weighted clothes. The weight was quite harsh, so Kayn believed that they should be able to use the Kaio-Ken in 6 to 7 months at most. Kayn approached the two women who were sweating from their crazy daily training, this was definitely so for Athena. Kayn lavished the day Sasha and Athena met, he already knew a conflict would probably start, or they might even be friends, it's no telling really.

"Okay, its time for the real training, what I am about to show you is for only you guys to know of. You have to once again promise me not to tell anyone about this." Kayn looked at both Ariel and Athena seriously, this made their faces turn serious as well but underneath it all, he was trying hard not to laugh at their serious expression!

"Yes, we understand, we promised on our lives not to tell anyone about whatever you're going to show or tell us!" Ariel spoke first and Athena also agreed with what she said. Kayn nodded while trying to hold in his laughter, he then summoned a gate with a purple Phoenix on it.

Athena was overwhelmed with shock seeing the Phoenix gate, was this the door of enlightenment or something!? Kayn then began to tell them what was behind the door and what the place could do for them, he also told them about how time works with the world. Ariel started to feel dizzy, she was in a daze, what a crazy way to train. Looking at Kayn, she started to understand something, was this how he got so strong so fast?

"Now that you both understand, are you both willing to train here together?" kayn asked

"Yes, most definitely, a year is nothing to me! If it makes me stronger, then I am all game for it." Athena spoke right away. Ariel was still in a daze somewhat but managed to nod in agreement to what Athena said.

Kayn nodded and the door opened, he already explained to them that there was more than enough food and even a powerful gravity machine inside for them. With this, they would surely grow by the time they came out a day later, well in their case, a year later.

They both looked at Kayn deeply before walking into the Time chamber, it shut the minute they disappeared into it. "Well, that settles that, I guess I better relax for the time being." Kayn paused and remembered the special item he got from the auction recently. "I better check that item out and see what it can do, the system should help me figure it out." Kayn pulled the item out and stared at it.
