Endless Adventure - Chapter 98

The Geppo is a technique that allows the users to actually jump off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. It is one of the techniques shown in the anime quite prominently.

It was first used by CP9 members. CP9 was a secret branch of the World Government. They work as spies for the World Government. If marines were light side of the World Government then Cp’s going to be their shadow.

I looked at Krista with anticipation as I really loved the idea of jumping around in air. Krista disappeared again and reappeared holding a wooden rapier. He put down his own weapon and using the wooden rapier he pointed at me he said, ” Your Highness can you try jumping as high as possible?”

I did what he told me. Using all my leg strength I jumped 6 meters above ground. Krista looked satisfied and said, “All the Rokushiki techniques are only possible to use when your body reaches superhuman level. Your highness you’re just 3 years old but you already have such a strong body so no training would increase your physique. Your training would consist of trying to dodge my attacks. You can’t use your hands and dodge sideways. Only way you could dodge during the training is by jumping!”

After he said that he created a distance between me and himself. The took a stance and send a piercing attack towards my thɨġhs. The attack wasn’t fast so I easily dodged it by jumping. After I dodged it Krista didn’t stop he retracted his wooden rapier and send another attack towards my knee. All those things he did in a blink of an eye and at that time I was still on air. I couldn’t jump on air(not now at least) to dodge it. His attack landed on my knee. When his wooden rapier touched my knee I felt pain I never felt before. I felt like a hordes of elephants were stomping over my body. Even though he just attacked my knee I felt like my who body was injured.

With a sadistic smile Krista said, “The best way to learn any skill is by pain. Your Highness can you stand up and let’s continue! We have two hours to train and we can’t waste your precious time!”

When I just stood up other piercing attack was coming towards my other knee. I again jumped but was hit by the second attack. Just like that the two hours have passed and it was time for lunch.

Krista smiled and said, “Your Highness the lunch is prepared. Your dish was sent to your room. I hope you have a great meal. I’ll see you after lunch.” After he said that he disappeared.

I didn’t move even after he left not because I wouldn’t but because I couldn’t. I couldn’t move my body at all. After an hour Krista reappeared and said, “Your Highness are you okay?” I couldn’t move my head but I could still talk. I answered by saying, “Let’s cancel the sparring session! I sadly can’t move my body!”

I couldn’t see what expression he had but I heard him say, “As you wish your Highness! I will see you tomorrow!” After he said that my surroundings became quiet. Looking at the sky memories flooded my mind. The memories of my uncle from the first life. Memories of us going on picnics, lying down and looking at the sky.

Using all of my power I stood up. My whole body shaking from pain I went towards my room. Every step I took was unbelievably painful.

…..

In a training are inside the castle two people were fighting on air. One was a handsome young man with golden hair and other person was a small kid around four years of age. Both of them maneuvered around the air. When one of them attacked the other would try to dodge and attacked the others weak spot. The blond young man attacked the kid with his rapier. His rapier was coming towards the kids shoulder. The kid moved his legs and with a jumping movement using his legs he easily dodged the young mans attack. Not only did he dodge the attack but he also attacked the blond young man using his sword.

They kept fighting for few minutes none winning or losing.

After the fight blond young man looked at the kid and said, “Your Highness, your mastery over Geppo reaches perfection in just 11 months. This was far faster than me who took 14 months to master Geppo! You truly deserve the title of the prince! Sadly I have to leave for a mission so I can’t teach you. But don’t worry, His Highness the King already prepared a new teacher for you!”

The young kid looked around to see so called teacher. And out of nowhere a person appeared before the two.
