Tales Of The Supremes 25 Hard Work Reaps Good Resul

Bang! Kaboom! Bang!

Not too far from her, Tala heard a fight. She looked around to find Kalipsi, but to her dismay, Kalipsi was nowhere to be found. Lipad was also gone.

Tala activated her Holy Eagle Sight. She looked to where the fighting took place and locked it to a boy. She heaved a sigh of relief seeing Kalipsi swinging his sword to a D beast. Lipad was just sitting idly behind Kalipsi.

"Who was there?" Kalipsi quickly looked to the south. He felt someone was watching him. But the feeling soon was gone. 'I guess it's just my thought.' He then dashed towards the beast and killed it.

"Lipad, let's go. Tala might be awake by now." The duo flew towards the south where Tala was located.

Upon their arrival, Tala was standing as if waiting for him with two sticks in her hands.

Kalipsi involuntarily gulped. 'I did not seek permission to leave. Is he mad?'

Tala threw one of the stick to Kalipsi.

Kalipsi caught it with his right hand. Seeing the calmness of Tala, he heaved a sigh of relief. 'Thanks heaven, he's not mad.'

"What are we going to do?" Kalipsi asked as he caresses the stick.

"Come at me with all your strength." Tala stood straight with her one foot leaning in front.

"Are you going to train me?" Kalipsi asked but what answered him was an emotionless face of Tala without a slight hint of opening his mouth.

"Then, let's do it!" Kalipsi curled up his lips and dashed towards Tala with all his might. He's been training with D beasts as his punching bag, but to his dismay, they did not amount much. He wanted to try his strength to C beasts but he couldn't find one.

Gus.h.i.+ng energy emitting his body, disseminating it to the stick as he swung it non-stop to Tala.

Tala retaliated as she swung the stick lazily. A moment later, Kalipsi was exhausted. Tala swung her stick towards Kalipsi's head.

Hit by the stick, Kalipsi let out a scream "Ouch!".

"Energy alone will not suffice in fighting. You rely much on power. It made you an easy target. Exhaustion will be your greatest nemesis. Speed, timing and accuracy were equally important. With the combination of those three, you can easily outwit enemy that is stronger than you. You will train the three components from now on," Tala explained.

"How about my purification?"

"You will do it when we arrive at our destination," Tala replied. She couldn't stand watching this youth blindly swing his sword to an enemy.

"I'll teach you the Tabimina system," Tala looked at Kalipsi indifferently.

Kalipsi was overwhelmed hearing Tala's going to teach him. His face fell ashen pink in excitement.

"Right foot forward. Your defense was your left hand. As I swing my stick to the right, block it with your stick and touch my stick with your left hand. Not firm though," Kalipsi swung his stick as what Tala's instructed.

"I'll swing my stick to the left and you do the same. Block! Then, counterattack." The duo's stick clashed at each other.

Clang! Clang!

"Block! Block! Counterattack!" Tala kept voicing these words.

Kalipsi's forehead began to sweat.

"Synchronize your movement!" Tala instructed.

"Faster! Harder!" Tala moved forward as Kalipsi stepped back.

"Coat your stick with your energy," Tala instructed.

Kalipsi did what Tala said. He coated his stick with his energy and he felt an overwhelming strength, but to his dismay, it was nothing to Tala as he kept stepping back.

The clas.h.i.+ng of the duo become stronger and stronger, faster and faster.

Kalipsi was forced to defend. Unknowingly, his offense was slowly built up, while installing the proper defense.

"Wohhh!" Kalipsi inhaled a turbid of air as he was catching his breath.

"Let's stop here," Tala instructed. "Run as fast as you can before the sun's set. We're setting off this evening."

"_" Kalipsi

"Don't I need to rest?" Kalipsi remark.

"Do it after you run."

...

Every day they landed where C beast resided to train Kalipsi. His target was to kill 5 in the time allotted.

Kalipsi was getting faster and faster to kill the beast stronger than him. As days pa.s.sed, he can kill five C beast with fifteen minutes left of time.

Tala decided to use the remaining time to harden the physical strength of Kalipsi and teach him another battle technique: close range and long range technique.

When they set off, Tala taught Kalipsi the various kinds of beasts, plants, weapons, medicine, etcetera and how to deal with them.

Kalipsi's painstakingly trained and remembered her teaching. His fighting prowess grew by leaps and bounds.

…

Under the glistening waterfalls, two young figures were sparring whilst their bodies soaked by the sweet waters.

"Let's stop here. Do 100 push up." Tala instructed.

Kalipsi was already well-versed to the bossy instruction of Tala. He knew that Tala wasn't just instructing him for naught.

Kalipsi noticed the stem air coming out from Tala's body. A minute later, his chubby face was replaced with a skinny one. His tight clothes loosened up.

"Ta...ta.la!" Kalipsi uttered in disbelief. He pointed his index finger while covering his mouth with the other hand of his. He staggered to his feet as he stepped back.

Without the fat, Tala's black eyes were now clearer to see.

The chubby youth he knew vanished like thin air.

He looks like a beautiful young boy.

Tala examined her body, a.s.suring that there are no traces of pill's left.

"It takes 50 days to dispel the effect of the pill. Such astonis.h.i.+ng pill. A pity, it's not the pill I intended to use." Tala sighed deeply.

Not too far from them, an explosion reverberated.

Boom! Kaboom!

That's sound snapped out of the wits of Kalipsi.

"Is it truly you?" Kalipsi couldn't believe what he was seeing. If he did not saw it with his own two eyes, he will surely not recognized him.

Tala just shrugged her shoulder.

Boom!

Another explosion echoed coming over the heart of the forest.

Tala raised her eyebrows. She felt powerful energy that clas.h.i.+ng nearby that slowly closing their distance. Tala approached it and Kalipsi followed suit. They left Lipad behind for they did not want to alert those fighting.

Mountain of dead C beasts greeted the sight of the duo.

Not far from it, eleven humans were battling against a beast. They were heavily injured. The beast sent powerful energy towards them.

Blue-haired and red-haired middle age men surged their remaining energy and call fort a s.h.i.+eld with two-meter radius. An old man also call forth a s.h.i.+eld.

Two layers of s.h.i.+eld emerged in front of them.

As the powerful energy of the beast met the s.h.i.+eld, a cracking sound can be heard.

"The s.h.i.+eld wouldn't hold. STEP BACK!" The red-haired man shouted. The cracking sound came into a halt. And in a second, an explosion occurs that sent them tumbled on to the ground.

The blue-haired and red-haired men were the most injured. They lay motionless, with their disseminating energy, on the ground.

"Tala, let's leave this place?" Kalipsi whispered. He doesn't know how strong Tala was, but the might of the beast was visibly stronger than those beasts they encountered.

Facing Tala, he unconsciously loss of words. The deep black of Tala's eyes made him think he was looking at an abyss, paired with his calmness, made him unfathomable.

"d.a.m.n Green Callous Buwaya!" one of the middle-aged men bellowed. Its thick skin that they couldn't leave a wound, its agile body that can catch up with their speed and its powerful and suffocating energy made them all useless.

*Lend me your sword* Tala said telepathically and extended her hands.

Kalipsi was shocked. Legend says telepathic message can only be activated by those grandmasters. Even there were hundreds of question swirling in his mind, he shook his head in disagreement. 'I won't let him run to his death.' He thought.

*Don't worry, that beast will not enough to claim my life.*

Kalipsi shook his head vigorously.

Tala can feel the extreme disagreement of Kalipsi. She then looked around and searched for a stick. 'This is not enough, but I wouldn't know if I don't try it.' She thought.

Seeing Tala holding a stick, he remembered what happened back then in their farmland. 'This beast defense was visibly more powerful, stick can't pierce through it.' Kalipsi sighed. No other choice, he handed over his sword. 'Tala was going there even if I don't hand over my sword, but it is just an Elementary grade. I hope it can help.'
