"Training? A waste of time."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What? Why?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"You don't need to train what's already in your heart."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

You mean, like... I already have the burning spirit of an invader?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Uhhhhhh, sure. That's the one thing you have that others don't. No matter how much you train, they'll just get stronger. The only way to defeat your opponents is to crush them with the fire that lives within your soul behind every punch."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Can you show me how?

1/2

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Well it's just something that kinda happens."

2/2

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"You just need to make sure whatever is in your spirit is better than what is in theirs! If they think they are a bulldog, you're a bull. If they think that they are a missile, you're a space rocket. You are always bigger, always stronger, and always better than them!"

So what do I do if they have 30 swords?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"What like actually have thirty swords? They aren't coming at you thinking that they are made of thirty swords?"

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Nope, he's actually got that many. He keeps them in some kind of horrible dimensional wormhole and shoots them at people.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so your opponent throws things at you? All you have to do is dodge them."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I guess so, yeah!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"See? Why even waste your time training when you can already do something simple like dodge."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Oh! But what if I'm not fast enough?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Even a brick wall will crumble once you've banged your head against it enough. You just got to keep trying until it works!"

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

So I should practice by having other people throw a lot of swords at me until I can dodge them?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Exactly! Since you already know someone who owns a lot of swords you can probably ask him."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But he's the guy I want to train to beat! It's pointless if I ask him to keep throwing swords at me!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Well it's not like you'll need to ask. I'm sure he'll start throwing them as soon as he sees you! Then you can start learning how to dodge."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But he said he'd only fight me again when I'm strong enough to win.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Really? So he doesn't attack when he sees you?"

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It was more like he wants a rematch after I get better.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Well if he has let his guard down you can do things to make him weaker, like poison him."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Poison him? What do I look like, a jellyfish? Squid don't have stingers!
