Ranpo and Fugaku where having a sparring session in a massive training grounds filled with a few water falls. Each punch they threw at each other made a loud [BOOM], that rocked the place. Ranpo and Fugaku where both exchanging blows, they where moving at insane speeds as both of them punched and blocked each of their blows. While fighting, both of them had weights strapped to their wrists, this was to hold down their physical capabilities. Ranpo exclaimed "I've got you now!", Fugaku blocked the blow "No you don't!", he said while struggling. He attempted to kick Ranpo, but Ranpo was able to keep his distance by sliding backwards. Fugaku's eyes narrowed "So that's how you want it?", he muttered to himself before rushing towards Ranpo for another hand to hand combat clash. The two clashed again, both fighters were locked in with one another. They started to blitz around the place while throwing hands, Ranpo blocked Fugaku's blows and threw blows of his own, Fugaku blocked Ranpo's blows and threw punches of his own. Fugaku told Ranpo as they fought "Remember, no use of energy based attacks. And even if you did use them, you're only allowed to use them three times. Got it?!", Ranpo replied with his arms filled with energy "GOT IT!", he exclaimed as he sent a punch at Fugaku which was blocked. The force of the blow caused the ground to shatter apart "NICE!", Fugaku said with a face showing difficulty. Suddenly Ranpo started to throw more energy enhanced blows, Fugaku was just moving as fast as possible in order to dodge the powerful and intense blows that Ranpo sent at him. Fugaku charged up a ball of energy on his palms, slammed it on the floor to cause an explosion of dust and debries. Fugaku jumped on the debries like a surfboard and shot a beam at Ranpo as he used the debrie he stood on to fly and keep his distance. Ranpo ran forward and created a wall of energy to block Fugaku's attack, this caused a ray of bright light to shine all over the place. Ranpo then asked "Master, how many times have we used our abilities?", Fugaku replied "You've used yours twice now! I've only used mine once.", Ranpo's expression became even more darker. He charged at his master with a powerful burst of energy on his arms and banged it on him, debries and dust clouds flew all over the place again. Both master and student began to go blow for blow again, Fugaku asked "Do you know why energy enhancements isn't regarded as using your abilities?", Ranpo replied "Yes, i do. It's because energy is used to enhance your physicalities rather than overall use of special techniques.", Fugaku replied "Good!". Ranpo created a war hammer of energy for a direct slam, Fugaku quickly blocked the incoming war hammers with his palm. Ranpo couldn't have been more shocked on seeing his attack being stopped with a mere palm, Fugaku said coldly "Three.", before he pushed Ranpo backwards with a simple blast of energy. After the smoke cleared, Ranpo tried standing up "Gah, Lord Fugaku... you really are as strong as ever", Fugaku walked to Ranpo who was on the floor. He stretched his hand to him with a soft smirk "You okay?", later on, Fugaku and Ranpo where both sitted on the edge of a hill. The wind blew calmly, and the view from above was just perfect. They were able to see the wastelands blow and the villages too, Ranpo and Fugaku where watching from atleast 2000 feet from air. Fugaku explained to Ranpo "You know, staying here isn't bad at all. It's nice.", Ranpo smirked "Hm, I know that. [MOUNT LAW], is a place that I'd genuinely want to stay on.". Where Ranpo and Fugaku were, was known as [MOUNT LAW], a place very far away from the city, it was about 1590 miles away from the city of Kagahara, north-west. Fugaku explained "This place is a place where one can be at peace, almost forever. Mount Law was built by the ancestors of my family, it was a place where you could learn one out of the three ultimate techniques. One being the law of [DESTRUCTION]. The second being the law of [POWER], and the last one being the law of [REVENGE].". Ranpo scoffed "Hm, I remember when you made me and Kojin come here to train, it was hell on earth. You made me sparr with you every hour of the day while Kojin was practically fighting demons at the other side.", Fugaku scoffed "Hm! So you still remember.", Ranpo replied with a smirk "How couldn't I?". Ranpo took a sigh, steam coming out of his mouth "Are you okay?", Fugaku asked. Ranpo explained "Nothing, it's just that I can't help but to worry about my students, especially Kazuma. Yuji tend to pull out his best at the heat of the moment, the down side of that is the fact that he tends to force himself. And when he doesn't get the results he's looking for, he tends to get aggressive. Mio on the other hand is rather disciplined, she tends to go off the meters sometimes, but she's capable of returning back to her senses in a snap. Not just that, but she actually has the most potential out of everyone in the demon race.....", he sighed again. Ranpo continued "And as for Kazuma....? He something I want to see grow. Not just that, but I want to be able to talk to him as a fellow adult, not a student who wants to learn.". Fugaku just smiled at Ranpo "Seems like you're fund of Kazuma more than the rest of your students.", Ranpo replied "In a way, but you see, I tend to not pay too much attention towards Yuji and Mio because they seem to have figured out some certain things. All they need is just the smarts and the experience to wield those things. But you see Kazuma, he's the kind of kid who realizes he can do something, and then plays with it. He's not training, he's just experimenting on his potential. If he doesn't have someone putting him on watch, he might lose himself.".
