Astral creation

Swords vs Guns

My mind feels so soft, this waterfall is amazing. How about you Hayashi?

I feel better than before, I feel like I can also create a good barrier like you.

Hey kosei….hey can you hear me? Oyyyyy

Huh, hey what?

Kosei seems to be lost in his mind.

Why weren't you replying to me?

I didn't hear you, I got lost somewhere. I felt like I was somewhere else right now. The place was so calm but also terrifying. What was that feeling? Did I achieve enlightenment like buddha?

Really? Huh, should I bow before you now? God kosei.

I am not being sarcastic, except for that buddha part. Yes, I started to have daydreams. I saw a beautiful being coming near me. He was very tall, but still in humanoid form. That being appeared to be holding something. Before he could reach me, You called me out loud and I woke up.

Huh, you started to get daydreams already. That is so funny, this meditation is amazing.

So buddha, what are you gonna achieve next, the power of enlightenment?

You two can come out now, it has been an hour already. I can feel something different from you two, you guys are amazing. You are learning things faster than anyone.

From now on you two will be playing a chess game with one another. I also want to boost your brainpower. Having a strong mind is very important in a battle, sadly my greatest opponent Sasaki kojirou did not have it.

Trust me, when you don't have the strength then you have to rely on your intellect.

Even if you are the strongest like Sasaki, you can still get beaten by people who are smarter than you.

Go back to your rooms, I have already done all the preparations. Play a few games and get in the bed before it's too late.

The two boys goes into the house, there was a big enough wooden chess board prepared for them. The two prepare to have a match with one another.

There's no way I am losing to you kosei, I have got better grades than you… There is no way you can beat me using your brain.

A few moments later-

What the heck, how did I lose to you? No no no, this should not be possible.

It was so easy hayashi, trust me i used to play chess all the time with kaguya. I don't want be disrespectful, but bro you suck at this game. It was so easy to predict all your movements.

Damn it, lets try it out again.. I was just being cocky, which is why I lost.

A few moments later-

Arghh, why can't i beat you? Woffffff

Look, the sun is going down. It is bed time, lets sleep before master miyamoto gets annoyed. We should not stay awake so late at night.

It has been a month since john tzimiske has left kosei and hayashi on this village. Both of them were being trained daily by the sword saint miyamoto mushashi. By this time, they have already grown far stronger than before.

One day, while the boys were sleeping, some intruders enters the village.

Get up! get up! get up!

What is it, what is all these annoying noises?

I did not get enough sleep, come on man. Is this part of a training?

Both of you prepare yourself, we are under attack by some intruders!

What? How is that even possible. Who could dare to attack a village owned by master miyamoto? Are you guys just acting, should we play along with it? Kosei.

Hayashi: Huh, Stop asking weird questions kosei. I don't think it is just a training.

No time to explain right now, prepare yourself. This is no time for jokes, you might even get killed. An S rank eternal has attacked the village with many of his followers. Most of the villagers are basically amateur B ranks. They barely have any real fighting experience. You two are very good at fighting, there are many B rank enemies you can take out. Now go, be careful there are few A rank as well.

You can not say no, I risked my life to get here. You could have gotten killed while being asleep. If you do not wanna risk your life for others, at least protect yourself and do not get killed. I do not want any trouble with master John tzimiske.

The two boys runs outside, while the man who woke them up goes to somewhere else in super speed.

Kosei: What is happening, is this for real? Look, that entire area is on fire. I can hear peoples scream.

Hey kosei., lets work together again and beat these shits out of this beautiful village.

Behind you hayashi!

Swoosh-

I did see them, nothing escapes from my fist..haha.

There's a little girl right there, her parents might have been injured. Or worst case scenario, they might even be killed.

“Hey are you all right kid? Where are your parents?" Kosei asks the girl softly.

“I only have my dad with me, he was trying to save me and suddenly got attacked from behind. Those people left me here without hurting me." The little girl says while crying hard.

Those bastards. Where did they take him?

Kosei: What should we do with her? We can't leave her here, she might get hit by things or even get squashed under tall trees.

Hayashi: Lets take her with us, we can not leave her here. I am a close range fighter, I need both of my hands to properly fight. Can you hold her with one of your hands? You can still throw things with the other hand.

Kosei: Okay, i will be the one to hold her and act like a shield. You will be the attacker, lets go.

Kosei and hayashi takes the girl and starts running through the houses. They saved other people as well. They leaves the girl with one of the amateur B rank eternal and continues going forward. The path they were walking was way too dangerous, they couldn't afford to brought the girl with them.

While running through the houses, one of the enemies jumps at kosei with an axe and gets ripped apart by hayashi who only used his hands. Hayashi has become faster than ever, his reaction speed can rival even the strongest B rank.

Hayashi sees an enemy holding a long sword and takes him out by punching through that guys heart. Hayashi gets an idea and takes the sword with him, the sword was long and looked very sharp. The B rank eternal he just killed seemed to have a good background. The sword was definitely a top ranked one.

Kosei asks what he was gonna do with it, because he didn't have any sword experience.

Hayashi replies with “What would happen if i just put jayid (energy) into this sword instead of using my fists?".

Kosei couldn't think anything and just stares at him.

Hayashi starts putting power into the sword and uses it to cut down the opponents.

The new technique of hayashi became very effective against opponents.

Hayashi continues to wreck havoc on his opponents and suddenly.

Hayashi was stopped by an extremely strong opponent who destroys that sword easily. It was an A rank.

Hayashi tried cutting through the guy but the guy holds the sword with his bare hands.

Hayashi gets punched to the face and falls on the ground. Kosei didn't have time to use the same move as before, the one he used in the cave. Kosei gets attacked by the A rank and uses the shield to protect himself, hayashi takes this chance and counters with a fist bomb. It makes barely any damage to the opponent.

Kosei and hayashi becomes helpless and the guy approches them to finally kill them. Suddenly he gets stabbed from behind by one of the A rank eternal protecting the village.

“Argh... Where did you come from? Bastard."

The A ranked enemy dies-

Kosei and hayashi felt relieved and suddenly they feels an enormous power bursting out infront of them. The shockwaves radiating from it is enormous. They could feel the intensity from far.

It was the battle of S rank eternals.

Miyamoto mushashi was doing his best to avoid fighting, but he was left with no choice but to fight.

The opponent was a big guy, wearing military type of clothing. It seems he knew who mushashi was and mushashi knew who he was.

The military guy pulls out an AK-47, powered by him. He starts shooting at mushashi, mushashi brings out his sword at last. Miyamoto mushashi easily counters those bullets and starts approaching the opponent.

Those bullets and the gun itself was heavily powered by the jayid (energy), so they could even kill the eternals.

Mushashi tries hitting him with the sword but the guy pulls out more short guns and starts shooting them at mushashi. Mushashi gets forced to back off and protect himself.

Mushashi stays on his ground and it seemed he was meditating. He was dodging bullets while his eyes were closed.

Kosei and hayashi was seeing the battle while standing in front of a tall house.

Kosei was able to see a barrier around mushashi, a soft barrier.

Those barriers are not working as a shield, but as a warning. The moment bullets enters inside the barrier, mushashi could easily see and dodge it. That is how he was able to dodge the bullets while closing his eyes.

Without being able to get close to him, he starts running around him and the enemy keeps on shooting at him.

The battle between the invaders and the servants of mushashi continues going on as a stalemate.

Hummmm, you have gotten better emilio aguinaldo.

It is still no match for me… The people like you deserve no respect. May buddha have mercy on you, which you are not getting from me.

The opponent who invaded the village was emilio aguinaldo, an ex military general.

Emilio gets annoyed by Miyamoto mushashis comment.

Emilio pulls out a thousand gun and controls them through telepathic power, he shots at mushashi with all of them.

Mushashi stays on his ground and brings out his second sword wakizashi.

Mushashi destroys every single bullets thrown at him and appears infront of emilio in a blink. Before he could slay emilio, he punches mushashi and pulls back.

“After training all these years, i still couldn't beat you. Do not think this is the last time you will see me. I will be back miyamoto mushashi!"

Emilio starts retreating with his remaining mens, some of which gets attacked from behind and killed.

Mushashi does not do anything to catch them, instead he stays on his ground with a soft smile.

Everything started to get normal again.

The next morning a funeral was held, for all the people who had died.

It was obvious that miyamoto mushashi did not wanted to keep on fighting. If they went all out to the death, more people would have died in the process.

Kosei started to care for people even more after the incident.

The training of the boys kept going on for another month.
