Chapter 69: The group training (2/2)
”Hey everyone. Before we begin, can you show me what techniques you can use that involve QI? I want to know the extent of your abilities.” Ed already had a general idea about their prowess, but the more he knew the better.
Hayato seemed to be able to use all elements. He could also fuse them like Ed; which was very rare. Emilia used many types of magic, but her swordplay was enhanced with QI. The speed and strength of her rapier reached impressive levels. Stephanie was very proficient at using Earth magic. She can also enhance herself with QI similar to Ellie, but a lot weaker. She's also able to use wind magic. Ellie's only use of QI was body strengthening. Although she was good at it, it was only at a basic level.
'If she's a princess, she should have been using a cultivation technique that enhanced her QI. But it seems to be only able to do that. It doesn't look like she trained in skills that used that abundance of QI.' Ed was able to quickly guess Ellie's situation. Although she had a lot of QI, she couldn't correctly use it. It was just there. 'Nen would suit her a lot if she becomes a Heavenly Establishment cultivator in the future' Ellie's QI would make quite the good use of Nen training.
”I'll be showing you guys how I use QI. It won't be the same as the technique, but it should be better than nothing.” Ed began by entering a state of Ren using only his KI. It felt very awkward for him, but he could still do it. He also showed them Ten and Zetsu. Emilia and Hayato could easily use a technique similar to Hatsu, but Stephanie and Ellie had trouble with it. As for Ren and Ten, they all struggled with it for a while.
After a while, they could mostly use the techniques. Ed decided to do some sparring since it would be useless if they couldn't do it while fighting.
”I'll be training with Emilia and Ellie. Suika you take on Hayato and Stephanie.” Ed separated everyone according to what he thought was proper.
”But Ed, what if we hurt Suika?” Stephanie seemed worried about Suika, unlike Hayato who could generally guess how strong she was.
”Don't worry she'll be fine. In case this helps you, Suika you can transform to make it easier for you.” Ed wasn't worried about Suika at all. He asked to transform into her human form to fight. This surprised everyone, but they remembered that she could transform parts of her body already; doing it on a larger scale seemed only natural.
”Now then, don't hold anything back because we won't be doing so either.” Suddenly, Ed and Suika used Ren to intimidate their opponents. This time it was real Ren, not a simulated one. Their companions could feel the pressure.
