Vanto Lux & Hiro - Training [2x Gravity]

[Vanto Lux]

His aura thickening around him once more, Vanto nodded. He tried to hide his shock and very successful: the Videl Satan was training this kid? Hiro was being trained by a celebrity martial artist, truly astounding. His eyes narrowing in slight disbelief, the black haired boy lifted off the ground. It was pretty hard to believe that someone so talented, talented enough to beat a series of adults in a tournament. The teen didn't remember what tournament exactly, but he did remember reading about it in a newspaper.

Though Hercule wasn't his favorite martial artist and neither was Videl, he gave credit when credit was due. The woman was only six years older than him and had accomplished so much. Floating upward, moving faster against the gravity than before, Vanto grunted loudly before dropping down to the ground, panting. He had to learn to go against this gravity: maybe it would increase his flying speed. In fact, the teen had no idea what it would do exactly but knew he was going to benefit from it someway or another.

Then this Mercenary Tao person? Wait, mercenary? That definitely meant killer, which meant that the almighty talented Videl Satan was learning from a hired killer. That wasn't good news at all. Perking his head up at Hiro, his brow furrowing in immense confusion, he began to speak. "Do you even know what mercenary means, kid? Why is Videl learning from an assassin?"

[Hiro]

"Weeell..." Tricky question, the older boy had asked one thing, and then jumped to another not entirely related kind of assumption. He had almost caught Hiro off guard. Luckily, however, the boy caught the assuming part quickly and had not gotten himself caught in answering the question put forth by Vanto. If he had, then he'd have looked just as silly as the question asker.

The boy uncrossed his arms, faced his palm toward the teenager, and then began to waggle his finger back and forth. There was something condescending about the way that Hiro was doing that... it was almost as if he thought this had to be explained slowly in order for Vanto to be able to understand what he was saying. "You see, Mr. Satan's gots lots and lots of money. He could buy like... a whole city if he wanted to! So when Ms. Videl wanted training and he was too busy to teach her himself, he hired that mercenary guy, Tao. Just cause he works for money, doesn't mean he's an assassin. See?"

Hopefully that would be enough to put Vanto's silly mind at ease. Vanto had looked so confused before Hiro's explanation, that the boy was almost afraid the teenager's head would explode. Oh well, nothing he could do about it. The only thing left was to attempt the ki aura thing again. The boy didn't shift into any sort of stance though, he stood where he had been standing this whole time and began to bite down on his lower lip, dealing with the stress in that way.

[Vanto Lux]

His face scrunched into an almost disgusted look, his expression signaling that he didn't like the way Hiro was talking to him. Did the child forget? Vanto was the oldest here yet Hiro was talking down to him, talking slowly as if the teen wouldn't be able to grasp what was said if the little boy spoke at a normal pace. That was...offensive, to say the least. "Dur, I know Hercule has a lot of money." he spat, almost automatically. His eye brows raising as his arms found themselves crossed over his torso, Vanto sighed.

"You don't even know what an Assassin is." Vanto stated solidly. This child was nothing more. "That's like me calling myself "Policeman Vanto" without actually being a policeman!" His eyebrows lowered and he threw his head back, against the gravity and sighed, looking up at the ceiling in thought now. "Well, kid: that man is a mercenary, assassin, killer." he said, bubbling the terms down to make it simpler for the younger boy. Bringing his head forward slowly, he pursed his lips and sighed.

Bringing his hand up and waving his finger in the same condescending manner as Hiro did, a small smile stretched across his face. "You know, little boy, you're just mad that your teacher is getting trained by a hired killer." he paused, throwing his arms into the air now and a mock look of fear on his face. It was amazing how he went against the gravity now: these were the fruits of his training. "..What if...?" he paused again for dramatic effect. "What if he kills Videl and then...Hercule!?"

[Hiro]

Looks like he had made the older kid mad. If Vanto didn't want to be insulted, he shouldn't have said something so dumb! And Hiro didn't have the time to be worrying about how the teenager was taking it anyway, he was trying to focus on his ki. Control it, make it emerge all around his body, everywhere.

"I know what an assassin is," he answered stubbornly, already losing more concentration than he would have liked. Gosh, mercenary didn't mean the same thing as assassin! How was it that a nine year old knew more than a... how old was this guy? Whatever, it didn't matter, all that mattered was that he was older but sure didn't act like it.

Now Vanto was trying to scare him even, as if that would work. Hiro had complete faith in his heroes, he didn't have to worry about them when they could obviously take care of themselves. "He couldn't hurt either of them, not even if he tried to. Besides, Videl already learned all she needed from him. I would know cause I've been her student for a while and I've never seen the guy myself." Where was he again? Oh right, focus... focus... He kept his eyes closed and could swear he felt a sensation of ki swarming around his body... but that was unlikely since Vanto was distracting him so much.

[Vanto Lux]

"Yeah, whatever." Vanto scoffed, his eyes moving from Hiro and back to the dent in the wall. His try at scaring the kid went totally awry. His body turned along with his head, he faced the damaged wall, arms on his hips as he nodded in approval. An experimental attack did that? Imagine what it would do to a person? Imagine what it would've done to Bulla if he hit her head on? That would've extremely bad. Sighing, the teen inhaled sharply and took a step forward, a satisfied look appearing on his face as he easily walked a couple steps. This gravity was near nothing for him.

After walking ten steps or so, it was starting to strain the boy again. Even so, he pushed on! He threw himself into each and every step, his foot slamming down against the titled floor harder and harder each time. He took his last step and fell to his knees, rolling over on his side and panting heavily. "Damn." he let out before sitting up, eyes on Hiro once more, who was still focusing on producing an aura. "You're concentrating too hard," Vanto said, raising his arm up to gesture Hiro to stop.

Vanto struggled to his feet and walked over to Hiro. "You see, you're focusing on it too much." Vanto explained, taking a rather casual stance in front of the younger boy. In a matter of seconds, a blue-ish white aura surronded his person. "Just...do it."

[Hiro]

With all his might, the boy tried and tried. He was just no good at ki control, plain and simple, that’s why he could never get a ki blast right. It’s why he couldn’t create an aura and why Videl had never taught him how to fly. No one ever said it was supposed to be difficult. And the few people he’d seen fly through the air did it as easily as a bird, as if it took them no effort at all. Yet Hiro was grounded, unable to perform the simplest, most basic part of ki manipulation.

And here this guy was, telling him he was concentrating too hard! Didn’t he have to do the opposite of that? Hiro looked up at Vanto with an eyebrow raised, his mouth slightly open in a display of his confusion. Right then and there, he stopped trying altogether, jeez the teenager made it impossible anyway, so why not? ”I thought that’s what I was supposed ta be doing.”

Ugh! The child flailed his arms helplessly despite himself, despite even the gravity. He was all for trying until he couldn’t stand any longer, persisting until he was exhausted and had to rest. But Vanto was just a no good teacher, not good at all. ‘Just do it’… when did that ever work in trying to teach anybody? It didn’t, that’s what. ”You sound so lame,” Hiro put it bluntly and moved not to try again but instead to sit down on the floor. Just standing was making him tired.

[Vanto Lux]

Lame? He was only trying to help! Vanto looked at Hiro, confused and somewhat hurt before shrugging it off. It was whatever to him, the teen had to focus on his development as a warrior and fighter, not worry about his status in the eyes of some kid. "Whatever, not my fault you're not getting it." Vanto said with an equal amount of bluntness, if not more. Rolling his shoulders and walking away from Hiro, arms clenched tightly at his sides. If this kid didn't understand how to channel his ki, it wouldn't affect Vanto in any type of way, so nothing to worry about. He wasn't sweating it anymore.

Approaching the center of the room, where his shirt was, the black haired boy bent over and picked up the article of clothing, which was heavy and damp with drying sweat. "Tch, I hope you have fun." he muttered before sitting down onto the floor, legs crossed and palms pressed down on his kneecaps. His eyes closed as he channeled his ki, focusing it through his body and making form the aura Hiro himself was trying so hard to muster.

Vanto began to float upward, his legs uncurling as he steadied himself in the air. As he went higher, his body would wobble side ot side, showing just how hard it was to maintain a constant altitude in this room. Although, he seemed to be getting used to it now, gaining more air than he did before.

[Hiro]

[ooc: i think you only need one more post so we can finally wrap this up! :3 Sorry I took so long, annoying school >.<;]
Bah! Hiro refused to be impressed with Vanto's training. Not in the slightest, nope, nuh uh. Instead of staring at the teenager in awe, he glared at him from across the room and maintained a sort of frown mixed with uncertainty. Stupid guy, he wasn't even a good teacher, and now he wasn't even bothering to help the younger boy!

Not that Hiro needed him. He'd never needed the likes of Vanto before, so why would he need him now? Certainly not to help him train his ki controlling technique, nah he could definitely learn that on his own. Just not... not right now.

Upon sitting down on the floor, Hiro soon realized that he was actually much more tired than he had originally thought he was.... A lot more tired, in fact. He immediately regretted taking a break, because now he didn't want to stand back up at all. Noticeably breathing heavier, sweat rolling down his face, his body straining to continue going under the doubled gravity... It was all a little too much.

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto wavered around through the air, panting heavily. This gravity training had certainly taken a toll on him and that was plain just by looking at him. His handsome face was red and covered in sweat, his usually spiked hair falling over onto his head in a messier mop. The teen slowly lowered himself to the gravity room grounds, his feet touching down onto the floor softly. His black orbs moved to Hiro was a quick second then to the room's windows, located right under the ceiling. It was still dark.

He couldn't have been here for more than four hours. Five hours maybe. His gaze then fell back onto Hiro, a slight smile on his face. This kid was really determined, determined to become like Hercule. Even though Hercule was a completely loser. Sighing, the teen walked slowly to the door, grasping the handle.

It was time to go. Time to go get a good night of sleep and train some more tomorrow. Then sleep and train some more. After all, the tournament was coming up soon. He needed to be ready. Pulling the door open, Vanto ran out and took the skies.
