The next day, I woke up early and went to Kuzime’s house. Surprisingly, he was already up. I said, “Oh, you’re already up Kuzime? Well, I came to you for training. Yesterday, Kabatamashi was about to take over the world and- well I don’t want to talk about it. But he also took one of my eyes, and now I need to take it back. And I lost the energy nature that was inside me. I was getting really close to her, and she sacrificed herself.” Kuzime was really confused about what I was saying. He then asked, “Wait, what do you mean you were getting close to her? Could you speak with the energy nature or something?” I then explained everything to Kuzime. “Well, to start off she is not even an energy nature, she is something called an energy spirit. Her name was Ichiki. Her people had bodies of animals and mythical creatures; she was a dragon, all black with wings. They could leave their body and enter a spirit-type form, where they could go into the body of a human. So, when I was born Ichiki went inside me. And during the tournament, I was getting close to her, and she just died saving the whole world in the process.” Kuzime was very concerned. He then said, “Wow Tsuyoi, I am sorry to hear all that. We need to train and get your other eye back though.” So we started training. I never trained as hard as I did today, because I knew what was at steak and what was on the line. I knew the potential threat Kabatamashi could be, so I had to train hard to beat Kabatamashi. So after 5 long hours of training, Kuzime said it was time to stop. I refused to stop. I then said to Kuzime, “Kuzime, look, you can stop training but I CAN’T. I have to train and stop at nothing if I have to take my eye back from Kabatamashi.” I then saw a smirk appear right on Kuzime’s face. He then said, “Very well then. We will continue training for 1 more hour.” I was glad because he gave me more time to train. So after 1 hour, we both stopped training. “Thanks for being here with me, Kuzime,” I said. He then replied, “No problem! I am just happy I can help you become stronger.” So we both went home. I could not help but to think, ‘What if I can bring Ichiki back.’ So I decided that I would do some research about that online and in the library tomorrow first thing in the morning. So I went to research energy spirits. I searched the internet first, because I thought if I did not have any luck searching the web, I might as well go to the library where I have more of a chance of finding something. I then saw something on the internet that said, ‘Scientists and people who study the world of energy natures were shocked at something they found in the place they were studying. They have been studying this place for years, and come to a conclusion that some mythical creatures used to inhabit this place. They bought an energy detector to see if there was any life hiding there, and they were shocked by their conclusion. The energy detector was going wild, but there were no bodies in sight. Scientists now think these creatures are able to leave their body and go into a human body. Scientists are now studying hard to find out more about this phenomenon.’ As soon as I saw that, I knew that I had to dig deeper into researching this, because if I could get Ichiki back I would be the happiest person alive! I would also gain a strong chunk of power back. So from there I decided to stop and head to the library to see if more information would be there. “Bye Mom and Dad, I am going to the library to do some research,” I said. They replied saying, “Okay, bye honey, we love you.” So I went to the library to do some research about energy spirits. While I was there, I saw Kabatamashi checking out books in the ‘The Enshentoai’ section. I was going to go fight him for my eye back, but I needed to stay lowkey. I also did not want to make any noise in the library. So, I stayed hidden from Kabatamashi and continued with my research. I went to the ‘energy spirit’ section, and to no surprise, there were only 2 books about the energy spirits, as scientists just found out about this astonishing phenomenon. I picked up one of the books and started reading it. One specific part of the book caught my eyes, though. ‘Scientists believe that their souls are reserved, meaning that even after they leave their body and their soul fades, there is a way to bring them back. Scientists aren’t quite sure how yet, but it is estimated that within at least 5 years, we will be able to bring their souls back even after they die completely.’ I was shocked when I heard that. That means that I may be able to bring Ichiki back from the dead and be with her again. The only problem is I cannot wait 5 years to be able to do that. So I had to take matters into my own hands and go to the site to research for myself. The only problem is I would have to be able to process them leaving their body in order to figure out how to reverse the process. So I continued on my journey of searching for a way to bring Ichiki back. I needed to take a little break, so I called up my brother, Otaro. I called and asked, “Hey big bro! I know I have never won a fight against you, so I thought maybe let's train more?” He then replied saying, “Look, I would love to train you, but right now I actually need your help.” I then asked, “Oh, what's up? OH WAIT, IS IT ANOTHER MISSION?” He then said, “Yeah, not an easy one though. We are fighting the Dawn.” My heart dropped. How was I supposed to even attempt fighting the Dawn without Ichiki, let alone with Ichiki. I thought he was joking. I then said, “Brother, you’re so funny! Wait… you’re serious? You know I am too weak though.” He then said, “SHUT UP! You’re not weak, don’t say that! Look, just because you never beat me does not mean you are weak! Think about the fate of the village. I do not mean to put weight on your shoulders, but the fate of the village may be in your hands.” I thought about it for a minute then said, “Okay, fine. I am coming right now.” I then hung up, and as soon as that happened, I teleported to Otaro’s location.
