10 Sculpting and leaving the Chamber (1/2)
As Charz entered the hyperbolic time chamber with Mr. Popo he started his training right away. He did not want to waste anytime but he wanted to find a balance between all the training. It is said that a work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' he wanted first and foremost to have some fun and enjoyment in this life, he knew that to enjoy himself he needed strength before anything but if he trained all the time he would have nothing but training in his life. So Charz decided to take up an art in his off time when he is resting from the training.
'What should I do to relax, I know I have no talent whatsoever in painting or drawing, I am tone deaf so music is a no go so maybe I should try sculpting statues.' Charz thought as he was going over the various things he could do for leisure. Sculpting is a rather hands on craft that required precise control over the body and fine motor skills. Precise strength control, flexibility and good judgment are some of the qualities one needed when trying to pursue sculpting either as a profession or a hobby.
Due to his thought Charz decided that in his off time other than meditating he would be sculpting statues. In his first day of leisure after training Charz gathered a huge slab of stone about 3 metres tall decided that it would be his first practice sculpture.
At first he wanted to do a person but then changed his mind due to the rather complex framework that had to be done to create a human structure. So he decided first to sculpt objects and simple stuff before moving onto complex sculptures.
His first target was a sword, he loved the swords from the various fantasy comics and movies he saw in his previous life. So decided that he could recreate the image of a few of them to please himself but reality showed him how harsh it could be. Firstly although he had good control over his body and energy that only referred to when he was fighting.
He had experience in controlling his strength and energy but that was only when the energy was used to empower his body. He had no experience in precisely controlling an inch thick Ki blade to cut through solid rock without any mistakes.
He had no experience in forming objects with his Ki externally, the only external Ki use Charz knew about was when executing an ultimate destructive abilities like Kamehameha, Galick gun and other abilities. But sculpting and 1” thick hand blade was a first for Charz.
Due to the martial arts training he could cut straight and steady but the precise stuff and small details completely eluded him. The amount of concentration required for sculpting was mentally exhausting. The result he got on his first sword was a plain item, it was in the shape of a sword but no details.
Every time he tried to focus on the details he used up too much mental strength concentrating which resulted in mistakes occurring. With this revelation Charz set a part of his daily training for fine control of his Ki and mental strength and concentration.Charz also noticed that while he is sculpting he tend to exude a peaceful aura which totally subverts the battle frenzy and hot-bloodedness of Saiyans resting in his body, especially the craze berserk that takes over when he would be able to obtain the Legendary Super Saiyan form. This was a way to get rid of his crazy side but since he hadn't been in any fights or transformed into the Legendary Super Saiyan form as of yet it was practically nonexistent for now, so the sculpting can be used to help him prepare for the transformation, which will allow him to regain his senses and control faster and possibly speed up the time required to control the Legendary Super Saiyan form.
As a result of this Charz gained increased mastery over his body and energy when it came to extremely precise controls and minute operations. His mental strength and concentration surged too but his method of doing this was to repeatedly concentrate and complete fine details on small objects. Like writing Chinese characters on palm sized stones and smaller.
This increased his ability to concentrate and his mental strength. With the help of the training his sculptures became more in depth with the small fine details which improved the quality of the sculptures itself. But the next problem was when he tried to start to sculpt animals and living things like trees and flowers.
The various fine details required for a living organism was enormous when compared to non-living things. It was comparing the difficulty of lifting an ant barehanded to lifting an elephant barehanded they were of two utterly different realms. Another problem that Charz discovered was that his sculptures did not capture his attention that much. They were not appealing they just looked like different shaped rocks no sense of wonder or awe appeared upon seeing them.
