《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 16: To control my SE without ME , and ME without SE.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" I said, to the person in front of me. The person sighed and told the old man, "You have maybe killed a bit to much of it." and he then looked at me and said, "Cthata," and nothing happened. "Ehh? What is that, the thing you just said, mister." and he sighed once again. "It'll take some time, so you just have to wait it out." so I decided to walk around. It felt like a depressing atmosphere here. I was confused about what happened and I want to know who these guys were, and then I got a massive headache. "Ahh! Aggggh! The pain!!!" and I fell unconscious. When I woke up , the same person was right infront of me. "Remember anything?" and it started coming back to me. "Umm... um.... Hazen? Since when were you here?" and he seemed relieved. "Sensei took some of your memories for you to forget what happened and we will keep it that way. It seemed that he took to much, so I had to make you remember it again, using a cancellation spell. So where were we left? Training about using magic I think?" and I was still confused about what happened. I wanted to know about what happened, yet I still couldn't remember it.
Anyhows, I just continued to do my training with Hazen, stopping momentarily to try and remember what happened. " Just how strong are you and Sensei?" I asked, punching him in the midst of every word, yet still missed. I wanted to become stronger, yet I was still weak. I decided to stop using physical strength and focus on my mind emifer. I decided to continue thinking and I came up with an idea. Without using Yagrik, I willed a rock to go up, and it did . "Man, and I thought this was all just a fantasy." I thought to myself as I was bringing it up by simply focusing my mind and will into it. After it was brought up, I threw it, yet I missed . " Well, since this isn't working, Lets make another way of you to train your ME." with that Hazen made rocks, seemingly come out of nowhere. Then he brought out a dart board, but it seemed reinforced for the rocks not to smash it. " I'm going to play a bit, so what I want you to do, is use your ME to hit the middle with the stone, I want there to be enough force to poke a hole exactly in the middle, and nowhere else. There is atleast 100 more copies at the store room, so if you break it by accident, use another one. Once you hit it directly in the middle, I will be notified , and once you do that , we will begin phase two of your training. Seeya!" and he went to his room, and started playing Subway Surfers.
So I began training myself. I used my will to make the stone go up, and I threw it. I used all my willpower yet still , I wasn't even able to bring the rock close to it, and since I have to shoot it at a 100m distance, it was going to be tougher than I thought. I continued grabbing the stones and started throwing it , but to no prevail. I continued to do this training for 3 days, whilist Sensei was protecting us, as he placed a barrier around our apartment. I haven't seen Hazen except for when it was time to eat, and the food was not even close to how well Tou made it, but I continued gaining my experience of cooking. Man, I do wonder where Tou went, but I hoped the worst wouldn't have happened, as I lost some memories. It took me 5 days 'till I was finally able to hit the board. but it was getting even harder. It took me so much will power to simply throw it that far, and I was only able to manage 2 shots every 2 hours, else if I did another one, I would have fainted. So, in that time I spent it cooking and training my physical strength. I asked Hazen to bring about an iron wall so that I could continue punching it to become stronger physically. "Hey, Hazen, is it okay if you throw one rock, I want to see how you do it." I asked him after he made the wall. He sighed, "Now look, this is something very beginner and I thought you were goign to be able to do it in a day, tops." without even looking, he simply snapped his fingers, and the rock flung toward the dartboard and made a precise hole in the middle. He then shaked a little, "It stings me. That's the signal." . I called out Yagrik to take its measurements. "Wow, 0.02 mm long diameter, how could you do something so precise , with something as blunt as a rock?" and he said it just comes up to your mind. He said that since I use ME with my SE, why can't I use my SE for ME. Then I remembered those few words.

Without summoning Yagrik, I called upon my soul to help me with my will, and I felt much stronger, than, with ease, I was able to hit it in the middle, yet still, it wasnt as precise as it was with Hazen's shot. Mine's diameter was 2 mm. Hazen then came out. "It didn't hurt as much as when I did it, but I barely felt it. Ehh? 2 mm long? Thats still a bit big, well I suppose you passed. Now to test it out. I want you to call out Yagrik, and I'll shoot a shower of arrows, I want you to deflect the tip of each arrow without covering your entire self, rather covering the exact spot of an arrow. If you get shot, You will be wounded, and since I tipped it with a potent spell, it can only be healed by time, and it would take a day. If it hits you once, you are to start your training again, and this time i want it to be atleast 0.01mm long." saying that, he showered arrows at me, and I counted atleast 1000 of them . I then called Yagrik out and I focused my mind and will towards the arrows. "4 o clock, at about 40 degrees, 39 , 38, 36, 23 , and 10. then at 6 o clock, 30 , 28 , 27 , 12, all arrows around 0.2 mm long tip," which would make it a bit harder. I then focused my abilites and deflected the arrows, all of them, about a radius longer, which wasn;t perfect. just when I was about to tell Hazen if it was fine, another arrow came behind me, and I wasn't ready for it, and I got a hole in my back. "Ai Ai Ai, to think, he would've learned about defending blind spots by now! Sama, I can't believe you have gotten that weak." and I was carried back to bed, and as he said, I wasn't able to heal it . I had to wait it out. But because I didn't want to waste a day of training, because we can be attacked at ny time, I trained myself physically, and when I went to start cooking, my knuckled were bleeding, and everytime I punched it, my back had intense, gruesome pain , but it was worth it. As I was cooking, I realized that I never saw Hazen cook, nor tasted his cooking, so I made a small portion of it, for him, and dumped the rest of it, as it wasn't even partially completed. I then called him and told him I didn't make any for myself, so he should make for me.
He then said in the beginning that he wasn't that good of a cook to begin with, but I said it was okay. He then started cooking, and I watched him. He did everything perfectly from the recipe book, and it seemed to look great, but that was just the outside. When he was done, I tasted it, and it tasted worse than dirt, and yes, I've tasted dirt before, when I was young, and the worst part was that he made enough of it to last a few weeks. "Damn, guess after mine can taste as good as Tou's , I'll help you cook. By the way, where is Tou? I haven't seen her for a few weeks now, you have any idea, Hazen?" and he seemed quiet. "So, anyway, how was your training going? Tomorrow, at 7 AM , I'll have you start training to get ready for my arrows, but this time the arrows will be 2 times thinner, and 3 times stronger, and if you get hit once more, this time, I'll kill you. So don't think about stopping your training, because Sensei left after putting up the barrier, else this would have been much easier. I've never been as good a teacher as he was, let alone as good as you were." I thought about only one thing. "THE HELL! YOU DODGED MY QUESTION!" and he simply whistled, "I don't know what your talking about, well I'm going to take a nap, seeya.". DAMNIT , he dodged my question again! Anyways, i decided I should also take a rest, so I went to sleep.

I woke up at 5 AM , and started training. It seemed much easier to hit it, but I wasn't able to get it precise enough, and since the final test was going to be at 9 PM, I decided to train as much as I could. I was able to get atleast 10 shots an hour this time, and everytime It was aroun .1 mm thinner. So, since I was able to get to 2 mm, than in 10 hours, ie 3 PM, it would be .99 mm, so at this pace I wouldn't be able to get it to 0.01 mm , as so I had to over-exert myself a bit, as so that would be a problem, but I continued trying, at then when Hazen woke up, he asked me about breakfast. "Eat your own food, you bastard, and I'll eat mine, how about it?" and he scoffed then went back to his room and opened Subway Surfers. How I knew this all? Well I never told him about it but I actually put a virus on the phone which allowed me to track what he is doing, so that he couldn't do any weird things, and if he did , I could laugh about it to him for days to come. I then, over-exerted myself, and was able to shoot it 15 times in an hour.
It then hit 9 PM , and when we started our final training, I showed him the final dart board. "Ehh, 0.05mm ? Well done , Johnny~Boy! Well, let the training begin!" And he started the shower without me even being ready. Detecting the position of the arrows again, which wasn't that hard, I had to focus Yagrik in these areas. Since it was 3 times as strong, and I collapsed last time, I decided making each point two times thicker, knowing that with this I can deflect atleast 1500 arrows, and Hazen knew this aswell, and he shot just that much, and I deflected it. When it seemed like it was done , I went towards him again, and Hazen knew I was prepared, so he shot 10 more in different places, and these were 5 times faster, which took mroe time to detect, and since he supposed it was only 1500 arrows, he thought he won, but that was where he was wrong, as it seemed i did it two times thicker, but I actually did it 1.95 times thicker, which allowed me to have 50 more arrows. I was able to defend these 10 and I thought it was over, but that was where I was wrong, and where he won. He threw 15 more arrows at me, and I wasn't able to defend them, and the fear of death got to me. I was scared, and I knew I was dead, so I calmed myself down, and just waited for my future.
But it didn't work out as I supposed, as Yagrik itself defended me, and it was more precise then me, when I did it unconsciously. Hazen then clapped, "Well done! That was exactly what I wanted to see! This entire time, I did this just for you to train Yagrik to be able to be used unconsciously, hence able to use your SE with your ME, and your ME with your SE, so now you can use them both seperately, and together, at your own will. But since it only works when you are in deadlock with someone else, so everyday, we will spend an hour making it perfect. We will train with it, and you cannot think when you defend, rather, think simply about offense, and leave deffense to your subconscious mind, if you can do that, your power will increase dramitically." and with that we continued our training.
I continued to wonder about what happend to Tou, and Sensei, and what happened in the time I lost my memories, but I continued to push forward, looking forward to what is about to happen, but at this point, I simply thought about training and making myself stronger than those who protect me.

Ars: The World Beyond The Walls
For a thousand years, humanity has been confined behind the large, overarching walls that protect them from the outside world. It is said that before the age within the walls, humanity ruled the world, overpowering the creatures of this land with their overwhelming magical ability. However, now humanity is but a shell of its former self, forced to live within walls that only hold a few thousand people, only sending out a select skilful few each year to explore the world beyond the walls. Most never return, and those who do bring back scars, both physical and mental. The curiosity that humankind possesses is an ember that no matter how small it glows, will never truly fade. A group of aspiring adventurers that seek to know what lies outside the walls don't plan on waiting until they're of age to be selected, the group they call themselves as "The New Explorers". What waits for them outside the walls is true hardship, creatures that are beyond their greatest imagination, beyond their deepest, darkest fears.

The First Primordial [DROPPED]
[Story dropped until further notice, I don't currently plan on restarting the story but will leave it as a possible option] During the Creation and before the inception of the Realms, there were 3 beings. Known as Primordials, beings even the God's knew little about that were rumoured to be myths or legends. Follow one of such beings that, given the unflattering name Arthur and the species of Demon, must figure out his place within the realms and find his fellow Primordials. Spending the beginning of creation within what will be called The White Realm then spending an unknown amount of time screwing around in the Demon Realm. Once he finally begins his story, he will be acquainted with a world full of grand vistas, religious nuts and floating rocks which will remove whatever little common sense he had remaining. Of course, there will be no shortage of trouble that will complicate things that (due to a poor ability in making good first impressions) will cause more than a few worlds changing events. These events include the destruction of a church and minor religion, including the death of that religion's God, messing with the reincarnated people and even introducing his own reincarnators along with the slight involvement of a war between the Demon Realm and the Creation Realm. Slow burn story; expect the story to be long with plot being introduced as it goes along. The story will include a main character with an actual mind and personality that will create, learn, and even destroy as the story progresses with an emphasis on what experiencing the other side of most novels, a perspective on that one whimsical god that brings the protagonist from one world to another that is only ever mentioned in the starting chapter. [PS- This will be my first time writing, so advice, tips and critiques will be appreciated. The release schedule is a bit iffy and unreliable but will mostly be every Sunday]
