Shion wasn't able to hear what Vermin Killer said, but luckily Ko was there and had rather large ears, the better to hear you with. She relayed his message to Shion. After thinking it over for a moment, Shion decided to walk out to wear he was standing. The army behind him was somewhat intimidating, but...

"Gods damnit. What do you want this time?"

Summer blinked several times in rapid succession. She was back on screen. Finally. And there was someone similar to her suddenly saying she wanted to wipe out the Mint? Summer had no quarrel with the Mint, but... They made monster girls. And that was both a good and bad thing. However, if there were never monster girls, she wouldn't have had to run away... Damnit! Stop! STOP STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP FUCKING INTERFERING! YOU CAN'T JUST BRUSH AWAY THINGS LIKE THAT!

Summer was beyond furious. She had no time to think about her past or the moral implications of something like that, she was pissed, and she needed an outlet.

"Fine. Whatever."

There was a moment where she almost said something, but she couldn't quite find the words for it. Perhaps another time she could STOP. I've had enough of you for now. Go away.

Much Earlier

Shion awoke from her 30 hour sleep on an unfamiliar couch in an unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar dimension. Luckily Ko was there to explain what happened to her.

"Is that so?" she looked around to see how messy the area was and that the very couch she was on had holes in it. "... Ko? Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"I think so, but how are we going to find a ghost here?"

"What? No. I'm thinking we should clean up a bit. You've got some cloth, thread, and needles in that bag of yours, right? You get started on the couch while I work on the rest."

With that said, Shion stood up and began clearing all the garbage she could find into a pile by the door while Ko began sewing colorful patches onto the couch, pushing springs back into place and even replacing a few in the process. Shion opened the fridge and began clearing any expired foodstuffs as well. They couldn't exactly install lighting or anything fancy, but the two were able to disinfect and clean all the surfaces, even the walls and ceiling, before they bagged up all the garbage and took it out when they left.

Summer arrived back in Penrose after her extended stay in the Beach Dimension with a notable tan and a much darker attitude. Her anger was palpable, literally visible from the steam rising from her head as she began towards and then past Beacon HQ into the middle of the city...

Lightning manipulation.

@Etcetera

Ah, yes. That should be fairly easy to figure out, so we should go over the process for the wind release rasengan. Add wind nature to your rasengan so that the small gaps in chakra are filled with pressurized air, spinning the same as the chakra. It takes more concentration so practicing it is important to making it viable. Once you can do that you can learn a very, very powerful technique that builds on it.

*Nods*
Of course. I'll pay mind to that.

@Etcetera

Where were we?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

At some point I would like to, if that's alright.

@Etcetera

Sure. It would be prudent then to practice your breathing while doing the other training, except where a different breathing technique is necessary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Is there a way to test its effectiveness?

@Etcetera

There is. I can hit you with some of the energies it'll help block against, once you've got chi flowing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Yes, but I've never had a noticeable effect like a shield.

@Etcetera

That's because it's less of an actual shield and more like a river of energy that sweeps up other energies within it, preventing them from hitting you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Would you be willing to teach me that technique as well?

@Etcetera

If you learned the proper breathing, it should happen naturally as you spend more time in that state. Didn't Cupid teach you that already?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Defensively how?

@Etcetera

It will naturally repel certain other types of spiritual energy. So by keeping a flow through your body, it will help defend against them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

How can I more effectively use chi in combat?

@Etcetera

Channeling it into your attacks, essentially. Using the breathing techniques associated with it will help as well. Allowing it to flow freely through you can allow it to act in defensive ways as well.
