Plastered with his usual dull expression, Shinzu hopped over a cold metallic fence and skidded down a diagonal wall to reach the outskirts of Yorknew City. Being a dumping ground, Shinzu was surrounded by garbage. Filth that had been disposed of by the rich. No true resident of Yorknew City would venture into this part of the city – if it could even be grouped together with the rest of the vibrant and alive atmosphere. In harsh contrast, this area looked dead. Not a soul in sight. Naturally, this made it the perfect place to practice doing that thing that awoke inside of him last night. --- Training Hatsu 2: 1. Shinzu shut his eyes and called out to his aura. It did not respond. Grimacing, he tried again. He imagined an invisible hand pulling and tugging against a sheet of energy. This conjured a spark of warmth inside of his chest. Knowing he was on the right track, he continued pulling with all of his mental might. Unfortunately, the resistance was too great for anything noticeable to happen. Strained, Shinzu grit down on his teeth and continued pulling. The sheer mental focus required was baffling. Completing Space Invaders and Tetris was easy. It was just skill and practice. This, however, was different… It was an energy his body had never tapped into before except accidentally last night. It was like a hidden reserve with a mind of its own. The more he pulled against it, the more it pulled back and forced the teen to break out into a sweat.

2. Grimacing at the exhaustion, Shinzu took in a deep breath and allowed his lungs to fill to the brim before continuing his training. He hoped the extra oxygen would provide enough energy to his cells to prevent himself from being knocked out from the mental strain. “Ugh…” He groaned as he felt a heavy weight push against his body. This aura stuff was intense.
With more beads of sweat forming against his forehead, Shinzu continued focusing on that manifestation of a translucent hand in his mind. Amidst all the darkness, he continued using it to pull against the sheet of energy in his very core. However, his own aura betrayed him. Resisting his control, it pulled back even harder and snatched away any amount of energy he had built up since starting this training session.

3. “Damn it.” He snapped. Refusing to give up, he exhaled sharply. Warm air immediately left his nostrils before they flared, and his chest rose to inhale a new supply of air tainted with the smell of rot and garbage. Perhaps this wasn’t the best location. Upon taking in the deep inhale, Shinzu’s focus immediately broke. Wheezing, he coughed up his precious air as he choked on the scent of the garbage.
“Damn it all!” He whispered as he took in another breath of air. Now adjusted to the scent, it was more bearable. Just enough for thick veins to appear against the sides of his head as he focused on summoning his aura. Again, he felt a spark of energy light up inside of him. Sensing this, he called out to it once more.

This area is ugly, Alma thinks to himself as he walks to the outskirts of the city. “Not beautiful at all.” His arms are cross over his wide broad chest with a complex expression over his face. He appears lost in thought as he mutters something underneath his breath. He’s oblivious to his surrounding as a man in a dark hooded ahead of his walking path. The man bumps into Alma and it breaks his thoughts as he feels something is wrong. The hooded man begins charging away. Alma looks down to his wrist and notice his watch is missing. ”Stop you fiend!“
Hatsu training The man has a head start on Alma, meaning it is difficult for him to catch up by normal means. Alma touches his body and pours his Nen into his body. His Nen changes his body to become lighter. Now being lighter than before, he charges into a straight path to thief in attempt to catch him. The man looks back and notice Alma is beginning to catch up.
The man throws trash cans and other objects to put in Alma path, to slow him and hinder him. Alma unable to stop and adjust himself ends up falling over the trashcan. “Get back here you thief or you will rue this day!” Alma face is bright red as he grits his teeth while getting to his feet. He touch his body once move, making himself weigh less as he chase the robber.

4. As Shinzu forced himself to reach out to his aura, his body began to crumple. His head slid forwards and his shoulders rolled forwards from the strain. With a curved spine as he slowly began to lower himself, he seemed to slouch more and more each second as the pressure building up inside of his body forced a rush of blood to his face.
As Shinzu continued pushing, his body began to instinctively lower even further into a squat stance. Coupled together with his fists clutched tightly, he looked like a constipated man struggling to let one rip. Eventually, he could take no more. No matter how hard he tried, the aura refused to surface in the same way as yesterday. Simply, he collapsed onto his butt before noticing the stranger.
“I-Im sorry I’m not beautiful… I can’t help the way my face looks…” Shinzu began panting. Not only was he physically exhausted, but the presumed insult had just sapped him of his mental will. “Wait, who are you two?” He blinked while still on the ground. One man appeared to be running with a shiny object in one hand and a kitten in another. The man chasing him, looked dangerous. Colourfully dangerous. “Ahhh! A golden snowball-ginger tabby. That’s a rare cat!” He pointed as the two men ran past him. Should he follow?

Training hatsu 1-2 Alma breath begins to grow heavy from all of the running. He grumbles underneath his breath incoherent curses. As the two runs, the robber paid no attention to the man sitting down. Alma stops for a second, point his finger at the robber. His Nen pours to his fingertip as he aims it at the man like it a gun. He releases his Nen like a bullet in hopes of hitting his target.
Unfortunately, his aim is terrible and misses his target completely. He looks over to the weird ugly man sitting down. “Don’t just sit there like an imbecile, help me catch that thief!” Al ignores the man words about a cat, he has no time to worry about a cat! His hand cover in his aura, touches the man, making him 50 pounds lighter, and gain additional movement. “Come now, we must stop that hideous robber!” He shouts before running full speed once more.

5. Shinzu’s eyes met with the tabby’s. It seemed to sparkle against the backdrop like two green emeralds. The mere sight of the cat seemed to bring him to tears. In this emotional state, he seemed to feel something building up inside of him. Curious, he called out to his aura once more whilst still sitting on the ground. A strange heat far more intense than before awakened inside of him.
“T-Thief!? No man with a golden snowball-ginger tabby could be a thief!” A rage welling up inside of him, Shinzu pulled himself off the ground and broke out into a mad dash. The heightened emotions and physical exertion had a strange effect on his aura. Whereas before where it seemed to resist his calls; now it seemed to offer itself to him willingly in his time of need. “Bad touch! Bad touch!” Shinzu squirmed as the long-haired man touched his back. Grossed out, he seemed to gain a speed boost as he left the man behind and began to run side-by-side with the so-called thief. “Please help me! The guy chasing us is weird!”

Hatsu training 1-2 third post There seem to be misunderstandings with the unknown man. Alma requested his help, but the imbecile took the entire thing wrong. So now, Alma is chasing the hooded man and in front of him is man running from Alma who is unrelated. Alma grits his teeth in anger while in his head he’s cursing to the new person and the robber. Alma touches his chest and reactivates his Nen to make himself lighter, enabling him to catch up the man before as he creeps up on him.
Just as he passes the man up, the robber takes a sharp turn into another alley. Obviously, he takes the turn as well following him. The robber turns around and grins. “You don’t give up, do ya?!” Two men appear with weapons, one on the right and one on the left. Al on the left side and point his finger at one of them. His finger charges up and fires a bullet once he got in accurate range. The bullet hits and sends the man flying far away in the air. “Ugly people should never stand in front of me but only behind me,” he shouts in anger.

6. While running alongside the ‘thief’, adrenaline began to surge around Shinzu’s system. He felt it coursing into all four of his limbs and even sharpening his mind. Much more focused and energetic, he reached out to his aura once more. It was a struggle, however, something seemed to give him strength. In one swift motion, he ripped the power away from his core and allowed it to flood around him.
“I-It worked!??” He thought to himself as he felt a jelly-like substance clinging to his skin. It felt just like yesterday, except more intense. However, his focus broke as the colourful man dashed past him and into a sharp turn with the thief. “Here’s my chance to get away…” He thought as he skidded to a halt. He spotted several men assaulting the colourful guy in the alley. Was he really the bad guy here? The answer seemed to be yes as he pointed his finger to launch one of the men into the air. Fearful, Shinzu remained quiet and stationary behind the colourful man as he focused on controlling his aura. Would it protect him against the man’s finger cannon?

Hatsu training 1-2 fourth post The man on the right color in his face wash away as his friend was just sent flying. From his perspective, Al just pointed his finger at his ally and now he just got sent flying. Al points his finger to the man and he put his hands up in the air and drop to his knees. “Wow don’t shoot, please don’t finger bang me!” Al face shows he did not agree to his wording but he doesn’t say anything. The ugly idiot from earlier went into a different direction. Al cover himself in his Ren and prepare to shoot another bullet if need be.
Al looks around and sees the robber climbing up an emergency stairs to the rooftop. He clicks his tongue and looks at the cowardly man on his knees. “Stand in my way again, you be next! He clutch his fingers and jumps to grab the ladder to come down and begin climbing. He retouches himself to become lighter and make it easier to climb.

7. “S-So it isn’t a finger cannon, it’s a finger bang!? This is some high-level perversity…” Shinzu heard the colourful man’s threats. As much as he despised being the centre of attention, a sense of courage was born inside of him that birthed forth more aura. His conviction to save the cat and her owner seemed to empower both his physical body and his supernatural aura which seemed to be linked to his mental strength.
“Just like snakes and ladders.” He told himself as he ran forwards and extended his arm outwards with an open palm. His black aura seemed to shoot out and with a little bit of aim, Shinzu directed it towards one of the bolts on the side of the ladder. Focusing, he clenched on this spot with all of his might and turned. It was painful – but through determination and grit, he undid the bolt and watched the bottom portion of the ladder the colourful man was clinging to collapse. “Great Scott – I really do have physic powers!?”

5 As Alma climbs the later, he hears the sound of screeching and it raises his anxiety. If this was a video game, the ! would appear above his head as he climbs higher to the main part of the stairway, away from the falling ladder while shouting “heavens to Betsy, my dear aunt sally!” He takes a moment to catch his breath as he heartbeat pounds inside his chat rapidly. He looks downwards to the man who is getting up to his feet and Alma face is red. “You did something, DIDN’T YOU?!”
The man confused and shakes his head. “You filthy hideous beast, not only did you stand in front of me and try to block the path of someone beautiful as me, but you also try to drag me down?!” Alma does not know who did it and cannot see other auras yet. With no one else around, he could only direct his anger and blame to the poor man. Alma points his finger at the man and a moment later, he’s sent off flying far away and into the coast water as he makes his way to the roof.

8. “N-No I-” Before Shinzu could justify his actions, the colourful man began to hurl insults at him. Ruining all the pride and courage he had painstakingly built up since the chase began, Shinzu felt his aura beginning to fluctuate. He knew then the situation was not one he wanted to be in. “I am the worst candidate for super powers… Why did it have to be me!?” He said with teary eyes. He then began sobbing – a fact which made his aura fluctuate even more.
He was unable to react or save anyone as another man was violently finger banged by the colourful devil. “I don’t deserve the mantle of final boss… At best I’m a mini-boss… No. A tutorial boss.” His whole world destroyed, Shinzu collapsed onto the floor and began pounding at the ground. The physical action seemed to provide him with an outlet. His aura seemed to regain its composure thanks to this - though not in time to stop the colourful man from making it to the roof.

6 Alma looks around to find the man who stolen his watch. His face is bright red; his perfect angelic hair is a mess. His breath is rapid, taking in and out of oxygen as he search for the robber who is near the edge of the roof. The robber appears nervous as he watched his friend sent flying by his victim, a colorful hair man who can send people flying with one finger.
Alma makes his way slowly to the poor robber, like a lion playing with it prey before finishing it off. A low audio hehe comes from Alma. “Chill out man, it just a watch.” A blood vein is visible on his forehead. He is clearly not pleased, not one bit. “I should erase ugly people like you from this world.” Alma aura flourishes around his body, even if the man is unable to see Nen, he can feel Alma Ren intention to kill, though Alma do not have any intention to kill him. Just as Alma gets within range of the man, he points his finger at him as a sinister grin draws on his lips. The man is unable to take it and jumps from the roof. Alma runs to the edge and sees the man made it to the next building straight across at a lower angle. “The man is ugly but that jump was beautiful…”

9. Meanwhile, Shinzu was still at ground level wallowing in self-pity. His own aura appeared to be comforting him by wrapping itself around him tightly like a warm hug. He felt like he could fall asleep on the spot. At least, he could if a sharp sensation didn’t bring him back to reality. Like nails on a chalk board, the sensation was easy to notice. It stood out from the surroundings like contrasting colours and forced the hairs on his arm to stand on end.
“The man is in danger…” Gritting his teeth, Shinzu opened the flood gates of his aura and allowed it to strengthen his entire body. Carefully, he removed his teal-coloured shirt and wrapped the sleeves around his neck. Dangling freely along his back, it had been turned into a makeshift cape. Nodding to himself, he jumped onto a garbage can before leaping off to grab onto the portion of the ladder he hadn’t destroyed yet. Mentally preparing himself, he made his way upwards swiftly before somersaulting off the last step and landing on the roof with a graceful thud. “Halt evildoer….” He meant to say the words louder and enthusiastically. Sadly, fear got the better of him. Instead, they were just weakly mumbled out.
