Five years later
A little Nero could be seen doing pushups as fast as he could as he switched to squats before hitting his limits
"Why does body training helps me in getting stronger?" Nero asked as he collapsed to the floor immediately
"The gravity here isn't something an average human can cope with." Kitsune explained
"Right now you're operating at a gravity five time that of your own world". Kitsune lectured
"It's also an important factor on mastering MANARAI ENERGY manipulation " Kitsune reveled
"Manarai energy?..what's that?" Nero asked dumfoulde
"You're born with it. Most people have the ability to control it while some do not" Kitsune explained
"How do I learn how to use this energy?" Nero questioned
"It isn't that easy.. training your physical abilities is a crucial part in learning this ability..you've bearly scratched the surface of you peak physical abilities " Kitsune said
"This will be your first mission in going to the next level on your training..go out there and defeat and low level curse and if you survive,tame it and make it yours" Kitsune commanded
Nero stood up and exited the time machine slowly.
"So I just have to find a curse and defeat it right?Easy" Nero thought as he strolled around the vast world of curses
He continued walking for what seems to be eternity as he suddenly came across a group of low level curses ganging up on another low level one
"A sneak attack would be nice but it won't be cool" Nero said to himself as he charged towards the curses at full speed aiming a punch towards one of the curses.
The creature,with the appearance of a skeleton,raised it's arms and blocked neros punch causing his fist to throb in pain
A claw was directed towards Nero's head as he did a stunning backflip and dodged the attack
"They sure are mindlessly beasts alright..but the do know how to coordinate their attacks" Nero said.
He charged towards the skeleton at full speed. The skeleton curse seeing this directed a bone breaking punch at Nero.
Suddenly,Nero vanished completely from the presence of the skeleton and did a round house kick at the skeleton from behind dazing it a bit. The skeleton curse angry started attacking from all angles.
Nero predicting this dodged all attacks quickly as he delivered a bone breaking punch to the head of the skeleton knocking it out cold
"Next is that damn bird"Nero said as he leapt high into the air and did a spinning kick hitting the bird down
The bird stood up and screeched causing Nero's ears to bleed. Suddenly,the bird began to glow brightly. It suddenly vanished into thin air causing the ground to shake violently. Nero's eyes widened in shock as he received a claw strike to his hands making him stagger backwards
"It's fast!!"Nero declared as he looked around for the bird."It seems it has learnt how to use MANARAI ENERGY too..dammit I was too overconfident" "I'm still too weak"Nero said as he knelt waiting for his end
"Of course you're weak"Nero heard a voice as he looked up to see Kitsune's hands dripping with black blood "I said to defeat a low level curse not one in transition to a berserker"Kitsune explained as he walked towards nero who was still kneeling
"At least you defeated a low level curse, that's progress"Kitsune said as he placed his hand on Nero's head. "All that's left is taming it". "All you have to do is place your hand on its chest and you should feel a connection with it"Nero explained
Nero stood up and slowly walked towards the knocked out cause lying on the ground. Following the guidance of Kitsune,Nero successfully tamed his first low level curse
The curse stood up and bowed in front of Nero signifying his respect to his master
"Interesting"Nero smiled widely "I'll name you FORTIS". Immediately,fortis's body began changing as his once bony structure grew flesh and he took the form of a 17 year old with a well build body structure .
"Now that you've successfully tamed a curse,let's move to the next step". "Your mastery of MANARAI ENERGY" Kitsune declared as he walk off towards the time chamber,Nero and fortis following him behind.
Location:Complex void
"Finding that curse isn't as easy as I thought"A being sitted on a large throne said as he created threw a slab of meat he was holding into the darkness. Snarling sounds could be heard as a large beast pounced on the meat devouring it quickly
"Conquering the academy should be my top priority right now as they could be an hindrance to HIS return"the being said as he snapped his fingers. Two figures appeared as they immediately bowed
"Master you summoned us" they said in union
"I need you both to head to the dooms void and obtain an item for me"
"What ever you need sire"they said
"Obtain the sword of damination and report back to me without fail TWINS OF TERROR!!!"The mysterious being roared as the twins of terror disappeared without a trace
