After some intense supplies shopping the school year started. I went to each class my first day sorry that I had to be there. I loathed school. I met new people. I was depressed because I felt alone. All I had was Brently, Zebediah, and Amanda.
Time went by and Amanda and I talked more and more. It seemed like all I did was train, go to school, and talked to Amanda.
She was so understanding and naive at the same time. She was slightly shorter than I with long blonde hair longer than her waist. And full but humble curves. Although she usually wore her clothes to baggy to see them.
I really never tried at the time. One day her and I were talking online and she made a comment suggesting she wanted to date me. I called her and asked her to go steady. She said yes. I wasn�t sure what to think. I wasn�t sure if that was what I wanted until then I had never thought about her as more than a friend. Everything was confirmed and at ease when I grabbed her hand the next day.
I felt completely free. Like a huge burden had been lifted. I know once again, how clich�. I dropped her off at class then sat in mine for a minute. I couldn�t believe it. Things might actually turn out alright.
The next week I was training with Zebediah, we started with sparing. After I was spent he decided to show me some new techniques. He told me the energy I used to create my energy blast was ki. Then he taught me how to charge mine up by concentration and muscle patterns. Then he showed me, he went to chun bi position. Similar to the one Brently did to create the storm. Then he began to scream. I watched his muscles flex and the wind pick up. I could even feel his power. I couldn�t believe it. Then he stopped and told me to try.
I went into the stance and began to contract my muscles. I concentrated on focusing my energies. I could feel my power rising within me.
I couldn�t help it anymore, I threw my arms back and bent them at the elbow forcing my chest forward, and my head back. I screamed louder. I opened my eyes and noticed the bands of energy flowing from me.
When I knew I couldn�t go anymore I stopped and the energy ribbons went away. I turned to Zebediah and he was enawed.
�I�ve never seen power like that before,� he exclaimed, �you�re more powerful than I am!�
Then he told me a legend of an ancient man named Tso Shang who reached the highest level where the energy temporarily changes your body, your muscles get bigger, your hair stands on end, and your eyes turn completely grey.
But no one had accomplished it for millions of years.
