of blood and I’m already a liter low.” I reply
“Yeah and he needs to be conscious for the next part of Chezarei’s training.” Tia says while coming up the steps.
“It had better not include Cheza losing more blood!” I pointedly exclaim.
“Nope, or at least not as long as you are the instructor.” Tia says.
“Huh?” I ask.
“Next we are doing sword training!” Tia exclaims.
Chapter 8: That was all me…
Cheza finishes her sandwich and we all head down into the basement.
“Okay Cole, you will be using your usual Sic blade; Chezarei, I w ant you using the two smaller Sic blades.” Tia says.
“Why am I te aching her dual bladed fighting, especially with only one blade?” I ask.
“ Chezarei, let me see one of those for a moment.” Tia says while pointing to the Sic blades. Cheza hands one to her and Tia proceeds to stab Cheza with it, only to have the blade melt in her hand and reform in Cheza’s, just like it would have if Tia had stabbed me.
“That’s why.” Tia says. That gives me an idea.
“Here Tia, try that again using my sword.” I tell her. She tries again, but this time, since there is no open hand to go to, the blade just drops to the floor. I guess that won’t work.
“Wait, it didn’t do that before! So why did you want me to give her a liter of my blood? You could have trained her before then!” I exclaim.
“Because, I’m thinking that her power will come out easier with more of your blood. Also , we need to make it so she can use your blood to speed up, just like we did with you.” Tia explains.
Okay, that does make sense ; it took me a long time to train my blood to subconsciously reinforce my muscles in various ways. I probably would have died a handful of times if I had to think every single time I needed to speed up. Wait a second…train my blood.
“Cheza, think about running as fast as you did back in Hawaii, and run to the other wall.” I say with a kind of ‘eureka!’ smile on my fac e. Cheza looks confused and tries running but she goes normal speed.
“Visualize it!” I shout after her, which turns out was a mistake, because it makes her close her eyes. Of course, then she speeds up, headed straight for a wall with her eyes closed. Thankfully, I’m still a lot faster than her so I’m able to get in front of her before she reaches the wall. Instead of running into the wall herself, she tackles me into it.
“Good job Cheza! ” Ouch, that hurt…damn concrete walls are out to get me! Cheza looks up from my chest with a slightly confused look on her face.
“Oh! Sorry Cole!” Cheza exclaims when she realizes what happened.
“It’s alright, I’m fine!” I tell her.
“Cole, how did you know that would happen?” Tia asks while standing over us.
“It just clicked in my head when I thought about how much we trained and how I referred to it as ‘training my blood’. Then I remembered our discussion earlier about how Airi might be a personification of my blood, so I thought that there may be a possibility of my blood already knowing what to do because Cheza can hear Airi.” I explain.
“Alright , that makes things easier; well, let’s start training. Cole, use your two Sic blades. Chezarei, you will be using the kukri blades.” Tia says while walking away.
“What!? I can’t do that Tia! What if I hurt Cole?” Cheza shouts while jumping to her feet.
“So what? It’s not like he’ll be hurt for a long time! Remember how much I would hack him up while I was training him? The only reason we are going about it this way is because I don’t want Cole to cut off something I need!”
‘Ouch…that really hurt’ I think as my head recoils down and to the right as if I had just been slapped. I feel my chest and throat constrict; my stomach feels like a five year old turned it into a butterfly cage. Out of my peripheral vision, I watch Cheza storm in front of Tia and proceed to slap her with tears in her eyes. Before Tia can respond,
