16 Repulsors (2/2)
”The Armor keeps you in perfect shape while you wear it, you wont feel sleepy for at least 20 hours from when you last wore it.” Replied Hope.
”Doesn't that mean I would never have to sleep.” Said Koren.
”Not really, the Armor can only do this for 5 days till your mind starts to break apart, REM sleep is very important for all living creatures” said Hope, stressing the danger of staying awake.
”oh, she's back. This little girl doesn't give up.” Said Hope as she looked at the entrance.
”It's safe now, I will go out and greet her” said Koren as he got up and went towards the tents entrance.

Enri, was having a bad day, she got up early and decided to wake up Koren and ask him to help her train, but just as she was about to open the tent, the strangest thing happened. A miniature sand tornado appeared out of nowhere, and frightened her to tears.
She thought it was the work of one of those shapeshifters her brothers always told her about. She ran back to her tent, and got one of her moms staffs. She went back to her brothers tent, with the staff tightly gripped in her hands. She held the staff up, ready to pounce on any shapeshifter that dared to scare her.
As she approached the tent, she heard some thing from her back, she turned around to find it was nothing, just some wind.
”Enri.” Said a voice from her behind.
Enri, who was already scared and palpitating to begin with, shrieked and swung the staff back.

Koren jumped to the side as the Earth Spike almost made contact with his right leg.
”Ah, I almost had you” Said Haruki as he rushed towards Koren with his fists rolled back, ready to attack. ”No, senior brother. I have you.” Said Koren as the earth under him rose up into a pillar, propelling him in the air.
Koren flipped in the air and touched down on the other side of Haruki. He stanced himself like a solid rock with his arms on either side and thumped the ground with his foot.
The ground around Haruki rose in response to Koren's gesture, he didn't even have the opportunity to see Koren touch down on the other side, the match was over.
Ahh, how come you got so good so quickly.” Mumbled Haruki, unable to move as his whole body was encapsulated in soil, only his neck and head visible.
”It's not just him getting better, it's you slacking off and getting worse.” Said Chief Ipnak, standing a few meters away with Enri.
”If you practice more, you will easily beat Koren, in fact you might even surpass me in no time. But at your current pace, even Enri might overtake you soon.” Said the Village chief as he patted Enri's head.
Normally Enri would be incensed at being patted down like a child, but her eyes were stuck on Koren, and the bandage he wore on his head.
Koren relaxed his posture and the earth around Haruki turned soft, allowing him to free himself.
”That was a good match senior brother, you have made a lot of improvement.” Said Koren as he approached Haruki with a smile.
”See, Koren has the right idea. Old man you don't know what you're talking about, I'm golden.” Said Haruki, dusting his clothes off.
”Koren, your technique was very good, but you need to be quick on your feet. If you had not jumped in time, Haruki would have made contact and you would have lost.” Said Chief Ipnak.
”Yes teacher.” Muttered Koren with a light bow.
”Now I have to go and make some arrangements for the migration, you three stay here and continue your training.” Said Chief Ipnak as he got up to leave.
”Also Koren, you should be careful with self-training, I don't want you to hurt yourself again” said the chief pointing at the bandage on Koren's head.
Enri's face went pale when she heard the chiefs remark, but Koren kept his cool and simply nodded. ”Yes teacher” said Koren.
Koren and Haruki approached Enri after Ipnak left to take care of village matters.
”I'm really sorry brother Koren, I didn't mean to hit you, it was an accident” said Enri, as she had in the morning multiple times.
Koren rubbed his head, and took the bandage off. ”Its fine Enri, I know you wouldn't hit me intentionally. Look I'm all better now, I don't even need the bandage.” Said Koren with a smile.
”Oh, did the little pipsqueak smack you Koren, I knew it. Kaph tells me of her demonic powers all the time.” Said Haruki as he took out a bun from his bag, and started eating it.
