At the arena I see Master O. is sitting down meditating making the least noise as possible I put the basket down and take my place in the practice circle and I wait mean while my brother begins his practice by drawing his sword repeatedly it’s has become easier for him to draw the sword and his almost as fast as Master O. in that aspect although Hikaru’s attacks are more vicious rather than graceful. I stand still for a minute closing my eyes as I clear my head and focus at my task at hand, I slowly take my stance as I grab the hilt of my sword still with my eyes closed I picture my target in my mind and wait for the time to strike, listening to every little sound around me to my left my brother practices his movements are violent and aggressive, to my right I can hear my master’s faint breathing as he meditates I’m sure that he noticed my faint breathing as well, to my back is the entrance of the arena where I can hear the lively street full of merchants and kids playing, on top of me I heard a flock of ducks flying by probably migrating as they usually do, and in front of me my target a large block of stone 10 feet tall and 9 feet wide I’m still not sure how my master brought it here it must weight tons suddenly as my brother prepares to strike the air again I see it, the opportunity to strike I tighten my grip on the hilt and I draw out my blade at the same time as my brother draws his the only difference is that my strike is louder than his as a cloud of dirt and small rocks slam on the wall behind my target breaking my master’s concentration opening his eyes to see the disturbance while my brother looks at me with a smile on his face. I open my eyes to find the block of stone still standing I front of me, I hear the faint laugh of my brother I look at him and he stops as he continues his practice I looked at master O. and he has continued his meditation with a smile on his face not like my brothers mocking laughter. I scratch my head as I stare at the block of stone I was sure that I made contact with it but there wasn’t a scratch on it’s surface which aggravates me I know I can cut clean thru wooden poles and full grown cedar trees yet I can’t scratch a simple rock.
“Uhmm….. Excuse me?” – a voice is heard coming from the door of the arena.
I turned around and I saw Cristina walking inside the arena “Hi come on in”- I walked towards her with a smile.
“Are you sure that I can come inside?”- She asked.
“Absolutely you won’t bother anyone”- I nodded.
“Okay so what where you doing just now?”- Her eyes fixed on the huge stone block behind me.
“Just my normal training routine”- As I finished my sentence the block suddenly made a loud noise as it collapsed in two.
The noise captures the attention of my brother who leaves with frustration in his face. “Is he ok?”- Cristina asked. “I don’t know he has never done that before what brings you here anyways?”
“Oh! I almost forgot I came to see if I can join you for lunch if you don’t mind?”
