Antary woke up in a small wooden room, on a comfortable bed. Throwing the blanket away, he jumped from the bed and started stretching his body. The old man that he met yesterday entered the room.
"You`re finally awake, took you long enough. I think you slept for like 20 hours? Guess you were pretty tired."
"20 hours? Damn it, I spent too much time slacking off. We need to continue the training. Let`s go, old man." Said Antary as he finished his morning warm ups. John pointed at a wooden chest to his left, telling Antary to get dressed up. "That`s right, I`m still wearing the clothes from that fight against that alien. I guess I could use something new." The insides of the chest were quite surprising to Antary. The clothes there looked exactly like the clothes that other saiyans wore back on his birth planet. It was a blue suit, made so that it won`t hinder a fighter`s agility or strength in battle. It is usually worn with armor. But how could a human get saiyan clothes? Just who is this John? Nevertheless, Antary put the suit on, and it felt pretty comfortable. It even had a hole for his tail. Clothes like this were made of special material that were designed to be worn by every saiyan of any age, and would not rip even when whoever wore it was under the effects of the full moon. That`s how the other saiyans explained this sort of clothing to him, anyway.
"Well, then, I`m ready for more training. What will we be doing today?"
"We`re not training in my house, follow me." The short man quickly walked out of the room, Antary followed. After they left the house, they continued walking for around 15 minutes away from it. Strange how the saiyan barely remembered yesterday`s trip to John`s house. Maybe he was so tired?
"Alright, this far should do. So, let me explain what we`ll be doing today. You learned how to release energy at a rapid rate, however that matters little if you can`t control it. People refer to this technique as Energy Barrier. Sounds simple enough, but it might be really, really tricky to those who are not good at controlling energy. Let me show you..." The old man crosses his arms, just like he did when he showed Antary how to do the explosive wave, and extended them, releasing a slow burst of energy in a colored sphere. Unlike the normal explosive wave, this one did not continue spreading, but instead it stood like frozen in it`s path, defending the user from most harm.
"This is an incredibly useful defensive technique, even more so than explosive wave, due to the fact that it can take much more punishment and can be used against beam energy blasts. However it can become incredibly draining because of the amount of energy it takes to steadily maintain a formidable barrier. I suggest using this against major attacks, that can..."
"Yeah, yeah, I`ll just do it now." Once again interrupted Antary, performing the same actions he did yesterday to cause an explosive wave. However, his waves disappeared before the saiyan could even begin to take this energy under control. He spent a good 10 minutes trying to get the hang of it to no vain.
"You`re too slow. Anyway, I`ll go home now, and you keep practicing it. Have fun." Said John, and left.
Many hours have passed, as Antary spent most of his energy on simple uncontrollable waves. His teacher decided to pay him a visit to see progress. Well, there was none. After a bit of thinking, the old man suggested a new method for his student.
"Try doing a wave as big as the one you did yesterday, it will last longer and give you more time for concentration. If not, we`ll continue tomorrow. It`s getting dark."
And the saiyan followed this advice. He made his explosive wave much larger, making it take slightly more time to completely spread out before fading away, and therefore, just enough time for Antary to put it to a stop. The strain was pretty huge, considering the amount of energy already spent on practically nothing.
"Now, you shrink it. A big barrier is not always the better barrier. Shrinking it down will allow for a more focused defense, so do it."
Slowly, the wave of energy started becoming smaller, but more focused, just as John said. It only lasted for a little while longer before Antary fell on the ground, breathing heavily. Slowly lifting himself off the ground with a slight assistance from his teacher`s side, they walked back to the old man`s house as the sun finally set, and night struck. On their way home, the young warrior could not put his eyes away from the half moon that was in the sky, and the trip was surprisingly quick.
(Dun dun dun, dudududu!
Energy Barrier - A barrier of energy that looks just like an explosive wave with a limited size and that does little damage. The amount of punishment this sphere can take varies on the amount of power put into it.)
