Debiddo walks to the nearest tree and plops down as an afternoon breeze flows past his afro. He then turns to Oshiro who is walking towards him and says, “So, I’m pretty sure you are going to tell me more about Genki now aren’t you?” “Well look at you, learnin’ n stuff. I guess you are finally getting it” Oshiro says condescendingly as he puts Debiddo in a headlock, rubbing his head. “Whatever, old man.” Debiddo says annoyed at Oshiro’s mocking. He then pushes Oshiro away and brushes himself off. “Ok, now please, if you will.” Oshiro then gathers clears his throats and starts his explanation. “For me to explain what Genki is, I will first have to explain to you, a person by the name of Genkiru. Genkiru was the byproduct of a sibling squabble between lord Ichiroun and Lord Harume, the gods of our universe. They pretty much kept the early universe in check. Genkiru was created to fight the manifestation of Lord Harume’s Rage and Hatred. Yami, who was the first demon. They fought for two divine days until Genkiru defeated Yami, and his heart was sealed away at the top of Tenchō tower.” “Wait, Tenchō tower?” Debiddo says confused “The tower we left a few hours ago?” “Yes,” Oshiro responded. Oshiro then continued. “The tower is coated with a divine barrier that keeps the heart of Yami sealed away.” “So what about Genkiru?” Debiddo says as he got up and walked toward the road. “Genkiru spiritual energy was passed down to certain human clans who were then transported to this dimension giving the ones who were blessed with his energy, the abilities that he had when lord Ichiroun created him. This is what Genki is. Everyone has one of two types of Genki abilities. The first is inherited Genki.” Oshiro then grabbed a stick and started drawing. “Inherited Genki are abilities that are passed down from parent to offspring for generations. Sometimes a member will not have said abilities. If so there is still a chance their child will still wield the same abilities. These abilities usually fall under the six elemental attributes; Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, and lightning, but there are some clans that have abilities that branches away from these attributes. The second type is called a hidden Genki. Hidden Genki’s are abilities that were Genkiru’s strongest abilities. They are blessed to certain people in certain clans and the selection of the ones who are given these abilities are all by chance. “So what happened to Genkiru’s body,” Debiddo asks as he starts climbing a tree. “Well, his heart was stored in a…Debiddo Stop fucking around dammit!” Oshiro yells as he throws a rock at Debiddo's head. Debiddo then falls down off the tree and lands on his bottom. “O.K, O.K I’m sorry geez!” Debiddo says as he rubs his backside. Oshiro then continues speaking. “Genkiru’s heart was sealed away in stone at a temple called kinshabu. This temple is where we are going.” “Why?” Debiddo asked. “Because that’s where you are going. We are going to see if you have a Genki and if so, we are going to see how we can train it to be ready in time for the exams.” “O.k.” Debiddo says to Oshiro. “Let’s head out then.” Debiddo then gets up off the ground, brushes himself off, and then both Debiddo and Oshiro starts walking to kinshabu temple. It took 4 hours to get from the tower to the temple. By the time they arrived at the temple, it was dark, the sounds of cicadas singing filled the night time air. “Enter Debiddo,” Oshiro says as slides the temple doors open. When the temple doors open up the smell of fresh cinnamon fills the air surprising Debiddo. “Wow, something smells good as hell!” Debiddo says examining the room. Inside the temple doors lies a stone covered with paper talismans located in the center of the room. Debiddo looks at the stone and says to Oshiro. “So what is this?” “This is the stone that was here since the death of Genkiru. It is called a Genki stone. Touching the stone will cause your spiritual energy to change color if you are an elemental Genki user, and change shape if you are a physical Genki user, and if you are a special Genki user the stone itself will go about a change. “So what counts as a special Genki user?” Debiddo asks. “I don’t know.” Oshiro responds “That’s how special it is. Oshiro then reaches his hand outward towards Debiddo. “Come on Debiddo, let’s see if you are a Genki user or not. “Well, how do you know I will be a Genki user or not?” Said Debiddo. I’m just a regular human. I wasn’t born here in the soul world like you guys are. I was born in the earth realm. This shouldn’t even work.” “I know this will work because you weren’t the first human to be a Genki user.” Says Oshiro. “Wait, what?” Debiddo says with confusion. “What do you mean?” Oshiro then preceded to explain. “It was a human by the name of Merida who became a chaser by complete chance.” “Huh,” Debiddo says confused “What do you mean?” Oshiro continues speaking “He was in a fatal car accident after trying to save his sister who walked across a busy street. His will was so strong that he was able to keep his soul latched on to his body. A demon who broke free from hell stumbled across Merida and was on the verge of eating his soul, however his luck did not yet run out. A chaser defeated the demon, and when he looked at Merida he was so shocked at his will power that he performed the soul baptism and took him to the soul world to become a chaser.” “So, how did he do?” said Debiddo. “He did pretty well. He was considered an average chaser who did decently well to become licensed” Oshiro responded. “His Genki was… unusual.” “What do you mean unusual?” Debiddo asked “It was something that he was able to use to win his fights and do well in the exams. However, no one knew what his Genki was.” Oshiro then walked up to the Genki stone. “He barely won his fights and when it came to missions he always came back with no scratches. Then all of a sudden, during a mission where a large horde of demons tried to take over the Southport of limbo, he disappeared. “Really?” Debiddo says in shock. “Yes.” Oshiro responds. “Now his story became that of legend. No one knew where he could have possibly gone, and no one knew if he got killed or not. So yeah, it’s possible for a human to have a Genki ability.” Oshiro then turns to Debiddo and says, “Now Debiddo, touch the stone and transfer a small amount of your spiritual energy in it. “Ok,” Debiddo says as he walks up to the stone and places his hand on its hard but smooth surface. “The stone is warm…like I’m feeling a person’s body heat. “That’s because you are touching the heart of Genkiru” Oshiro says “whaaaa” Debiddo screams as he falls back on to the ground. “That’s shit is a heart?” “Yeah, Debiddo what do you expect.” Oshiro chuckles. “Now come on, so we can see if you have a Genki or not.” Debiddo then walks back to the stone, and with slight hesitation, he touches the stone. The moment he touches the stone a warm surge of energy flowed into Debiddo making his spiritual energy turn yellow. “so it looks like you have a rare elemental genki Debiddo!” Oshiro says surprised. “It looks like the light element is your Genki.” Debiddo then looks at his new bright, flowing yellow aura and said, “Wait. That actually worked? I have a Genki?” Debiddo's face of confusion changed to that of excitement at the thought that he successfully achieved Genki. “yeaaaaahhh!!!!” Debiddo screams as he jumps up and down. “That’s what I’m talkin' about! Hell yeah!” Oshiro chuckles as he says “you have a rare Genki Debiddo. One that’s doesn’t appear at all in chasers.” “Huh, why?” Debiddo says confused. “Because the clan that had that Genki died off 5 years ago in a great war with the demons,” Oshiro says as he walks towards the temple doors. As he opens the temple doors a gust of wind blows through the doors, into the temple, and past Debiddo who is surprised at this revelation.
