Kazuki’s golden liquid sprayed Oren in the face, causing his wild laughter to come to an abrupt end.
Oren wiped his face.
(“And what was that for?”)
Kazuki shrugged his shoulders.
“You were taking far too long. You said it yourself there was no time to waste yet you sat there laughing for that long and you wouldn’t listen to me no matter what I said. Drastic measures were necessary. Look it got you to finally shut up and pay attention, I’d say it was worth it.”
(“To think ya would piss in my face for such a reason. I admit it, I wasn’t paying attention to ya but for ya to piss in this kings face, some punishment is required and lessons need to be learned if I am to teach ya anything.”)
“Hmm, don’t tell me your gonna hit me. I’m completely shackled and helpless. Besides, when you really think about it, this is kind of your fault. Had you not lost yourself to laughter I’d probably have learned a few more things about aura by now.”
Oren didn’t respond to Kazuki’s blame. Instead, Kazuki felt a heavy pressure rain down on him from every angle. Oren’s aura covered both cells entirely and Kazuki felt the air in his lungs being pushed out and his blood pool to the bottom of his feet. He could no longer breathe properly and if felt as though his body was in a vice grip that was continuously being tightened.
Kazuki tried to call out to Oren and apologize. He realized he might have gone too far but he didn’t expect Oren to try and kill him.
“Ore…
His voice failed him as he no longer had any air to breathe.
The jug at Kazuki’s feet along with the empty platter was crushed flat beneath this aura until they were as thin as paper.
Oren spoke calmly through this.
(“Kazuki, as I said before, an aura can be used in more ways than simply crushing things. Let me show ya.”)
Kazuki could sense a massive amount of aura begin to form in front of Oren. In half a second this mass of aura started to spin before Oren willed it forward.
*Scwhoop*
This energy tore the air apart and appeared before Kazuki almost as fast as light.
*Bam*
The aura landed on Kazuki’s stomach. To Kazuki, it felt like he was hit by a train. The blow didn’t stop just yet though. The spin Oren put in his aura, caused the impact to grip his stomach and shred at his flesh. Kazuki had been enhanced time and time again and had pride in how tough his flesh had become. This shredding attack from Oren’s aura was devastating though. The skin on the surface of his stomach began to peel away, layer by layer as it drilled into his guts.
Kazuki couldn’t help but grit his teeth in pain. He instinctually used his own aura and ki to put up a defense but Oren’s aura shredded through both of them in a split second before grinding away at his flesh once more.
Kazuki quickly folded his aura into multiple layers to try and defend himself. He made almost 8 layers of his own aura and put it between his stomach and Oren’s attack but it wasn’t enough. Oren blow had slowed but it didn’t stop drilling forward bit by bit. Not only that, the 8 layers Kazuki had made were one at a time being destroyed.
(“Hmm, so ya fold your aura over top of itself thereby increasing your defense. Clever but the time required allows me to do this.”)
Kazuki felt Oren gather more aura and again he made it start to spiral and spin. Before Kazuki had a chance to even think, Oren, shot forth another attack.
*Bam*
His second attack stacked over top of his first and broke all of Kazuki’s defensive layers at once. A hole as big as a golden Zeni formed in Kazuki’s stomach before exploding out of his back and painting the wall behind him bloody red.
Kazuki’s teeth nearly cracked as he was biting down so hard. When this hole was put in his body, he couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
Oren pulled his aura back and nodded in satisfaction.
(“That was ya first lesson.”)
Kazuki quickly went to work healing himself. With his great constitution added with his ki, the hole in his stomach was already closing. Kazuki snapped at Oren.
“How the fuck was that a lesson!? Are you insane!? What if that had killed me!?”
Oren looked at Kazuki as if he was speaking foolishly.
(“If that attack would have killed ya then ya definitely wouldn’t be a match for my son and it wouldn’t matter anyway. The fact that you’re in this prison and have survived up to this point tells me that ya are a lot more sturdy than ya look. As for the lesson, that ought to teach ya not to piss in someone’s face. I could have killed ya but you still have a purpose. With that small lesson, the balance between the two of us has now been reset and we are once again on equal terms. I’ll tell ya this here and now though. If ya piss on me again, even at the cost of my revenge, I will not hesitate to kill someone who dares to show this king such disrespect. Treat others how ya wish to be treated. If ya can handle that little rule, we will have no problems with one another, agreed?”)
Kazuki’s injury had pretty much healed in full by the time Oren finished his spiel. He wanted to vomit some blood in indignation but his wound had mended. At the same time, he knew he had gone too far and so he suppressed the anger building in his chest. Treat others how you wish to be treated, Kazuki took that to heart. When he calmed down and thought about it, the things he would do to someone who purposely pissed in his face, Kazuki can’t deny that he most likely would have killed that fool. So for Oren to hold back and simply put a hole in his gut, Kazuki on some small level actually appreciated how Oren handle things.
Kazuki’s mind cleared and he thought rationally.
“Right, balanced as you said. From now on, I won’t piss on you when you won’t stop laughing. However, what then should I do to get your attention when you won’t pay attention to my words?”
Oren was glad to see that Kazuki was already letting things go. It showed him that Kazuki could think more than one-dimensionally and could look at the bigger picture. Rubbing his pee covered beard in thought, Oren said.
(“I don’t exactly know, what would ya suggest?”)
“Hmm, if your not a fan of my piss, maybe next time I’ll just launch some shit your way.”
…
(“Bwahahahahaha!”)
“Hahahahahaha!”
Oren and Kazuki both laughed like wild hyenas after that little joke and the two became less serious and relaxed. A grudge, either of them held one against the other.
(“Ok I get it. My mind even after ya healed it, it can still sometimes wonder about. I’ll tell ya what. I’ll try not to get so distracted but if I do in fact lose track of things how about ya just mention the word piss. Just the word itself ought to snap me back to reality. The memory is already burned in my brain. How does that sound?”)
Kazuki gave a thumbs up but Oren didn’t understand it. Kazuki then gave a brief explanation as to what it meant.
(“Hmm, to think this slight movement of sticking one’s thumb up can mean ok or approval. This is odd yet convenient. There’s no such gesture among us Adrola apes. This thumbs-up could come in handy though. Who in the world thinks of such things.”)
As Oren started to go on and on, Kazuki spoke up.
“PISS!”
As soon as he said that, Oren’s eyes went wide and his head snapped up and his full attention was directed toward Kazuki.
“Looks like the word really does work, good to know.”
Kazuki gave a wide grin and Oren rolled his eyes.
(“Very funny. Ok, we’ve wasted enough time. Let’s get to it. Controlling one’s aura is almost exactly the same as controlling one’s soul directly. The differences are so small that they are almost negligent. I bring this up because someone that has experience controlling their soul already has the necessary experience to control their aura. In a nutshell, to use the techniques I’m going to show ya, you shouldn’t have too much trouble doing so. The difficulty only lies in your understanding and your own control over your soul. First things first, the attack that I used on ya. I changed the direction of the pressure in two ways and also changed the area in which my aura is concentrated.”)
