Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Soi Fon thought about that for a moment . Yoruichi was perfect in her sight when she was younger and she could not see flaws in it until the day of her betrayal. Soi Fon came to no longer believe in promises and no longer believe in people. She had tried several times to understand the side of her master, but she could not find a reason why she had not taken the captain with her to the human world . She did not tell her, and that was the minimum . It was finished with all that Soi Fon had been building since she became part of OnmitsukidÅ and bodyguard of Yoruichi later.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The little captain , looked at the monk in front of it with regret . She had no pity on him , and also had no pity herself . She often asked herself whether it was her fault , it was her that had failed. But in front of her was someone who appeared in her view have gone through the worst times than hers .
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āā I understand ..ā She murmured. She had learned from her pain. She knew what it was, knew where it came from and why it would not go away. She could forgive? Soi Fon could have been wrong several times too, but she would not admit it.
Ā Ā Her pride had been crushed many times by this man.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āā I understand ..ā she repeated. But what she meant was that she understood that people were failures, she understood that they made āāmistakes. But the captainās voice failed in attempt to admit.
"The world is impermanent. People are impermanent. By trying to hold onto what was, you cause yourself to suffer. By focusing on a romanticized view of the past, we fail to see the fruits of the present, and we suffer. You understand this now, and it pains you, but this is only the first step in gaining strength. Before a building may be built, the ground must be leveled, and all obstructions removed. Now, we can begin your training."Ā
Anji turned, wordlessly moving over to a rather large rock. In a single, fluid motion, his fist connected with the stone, and with a might crack the boulder shattered into small, almost dust-like fragments.
"The technique itself is simple. It has no special rite, no tricks or illusions. One must merely create a second impact directly after the first. The first blow removes the natural resistance of whatever you are hitting, so the force of the second impact is not lessened at all. It is not two quick punches, for force is lost there. I myself mastered this with one hand in a month as I said, but it can be done with the head, arms, legs, and even at range using a blade. If you strike the rock with too much time in between blows, it will split rather than shatter. If you hesitate, you will break your hand against the rock. You mind must be free of doubts, free of anything that would hold you back, or you will not be able to master it. You are far stronger than I was when I formulated this from nothing; I imagine that you will master it far faster than I did. But had I introduced this to you before, you would not have been able to master it correctly."Ā
