Our Action Brothers
Retraining

The night was getting late, the cold air began to pierce the bones. All Classic Pearl members were already under his blanket. The snoring sounds began to sound simple. Back overnight at the hermit's grandfather's house, making Genta as if sleeping in his own house.

Ever since he was handed over to the hermit grandfather by the married couple who had taken care of him, Kitaro still allowed him to visit the couple. So he used to go out in the forest of death to visit the grandparents who had nurtured him since birth.

Genta himself never knew who his parents were, and where his family was. Every time he asked Kitaro, he always got the same answer.

"You'll find out for yourself when the time comes, it's fate that will bring you to meet your whole family."

That was the sentence he always heard whenever he asked about his family.

The snoring of the Genta was clearly heard in Arnius's ears which were now sitting on top of a tree trunk, which was not far from the waterfall while carrying a mirror stone. The owner of the golden dragon only gave a small smile, upon hearing the commotion made by his little sister.

"At least let me fall asleep, before you snore the big dragon."

Several pillows and blankets floated up and fell on Genta's body.

"Yes my beauty, I won't snore. Sleep well, you can sleep next to me if you want."

"In your dreams."

Keiko was so upset, while Genta only yawned after changing his sleeping position then snored again.

Keiko's eyes began to close when the atmosphere in the room had begun to calm down. Eiji who always sleeps not far from his little sister began to drift into dreamland.

"You why Yin Yin?"

Arnius poked his index finger against his arm, as he looked at Yao Yin who was just lying on Fudo's side.

After looking at the writing on the Fudo blade, Yao Yin took the peacock feather that was inside her robe and started to curl the writing with her finger.

"Sometimes it's hard to sleep when you think of yourself."

"I'm watching you from here, put the sword back in and sleep."

"Have you found a way to get to this place yet?"

"I'll catch up with you, anyhow. Most importantly, keep your body healthy. According to the teacher's grandfather, to prevent bad things, you should give birth in that place. Please be patient, I will definitely catch up with you. Now go to sleep."

Slowly Fudo began to shrink by itself, then re-attached between Yao Yin's hairpins, then Arnius' wife began to fall asleep.

Arnius slipped a stone mirror on his waist, after he went back into a large room that also had a sister and all her colleagues who had fallen asleep. For a moment he saw all his colleagues and also his two sisters who had fallen asleep, he also laid his body on the bed that was still empty.

The sun had not yet fully risen, as Zen came out of the room. The captain of the Classic Pearl saw Kitaro coming out of his room.

"Good morning hermit grandfather."

Zen greeted Kitaro with a slight bow.

"You woke up the earliest Zen."

"Of all our comrades, I am the weakest and the rested more often. I'll find some fruit for them."

"Hurry up, I have some work for you if you want."

"Of course, grandfather, I'll try to do it."

Zen rushed into the forest at the edge of the waterfall. He takes whatever he finds, as long as it can be eaten. Fruits, vegetables and even chickens that were still asleep on the tree trunk were taken. After his hands and shoulders were filled with food, he immediately returned to the top of the waterfall and began to clean fruits and vegetables, then cooked the chicken he had also obtained.

After finishing preparing the food, he returned to meet Kitaro who was still standing on the rocks.

"What should I do, Grandpa."

"Have you eaten?"

"Can I ask you to cut the tree to make some firewood and also a replacement wood for the home's support pole?"

"I'll do it grandpa."

Zen took out his greatsword which was hanging on his waist.

"Good sword, can I see him for a second?"

Zen handed his greatsword to Kitaro.

"That's the tree you need to cut down. Take your sword and do your job."

Kitaro throws Zen's great sword, so that it sticks right in front of the tree he must cut down.

Zen started walking closer to his greatsword. How surprised he was when he wanted to take his greatsword from where it was stuck, the sword felt so heavy and even became really heavy when he wanted to lift it.

Zen exerted all his strength just to lift his greatsword. A small shout came out from his mouth as he managed to grab his sword.

"aaa... How did this sword get so heavy, what did grandfather actually do?"

Zen's breath was panted for a moment. After he was able to rebalance his body, the captain of the Classic Pearl began to swing his greatsword to slash the large tree and also quite tall that was before him.

After several slashes, Zen stopped swinging his sword to re-regulate his breathing and restore his strength.

"Grow the ground properly, your feet are nails that are ready to penetrate the earth. Prepare your arms, swing them properly. Your waist is the center of defense, swing your arms along with your heartbeat. Do you know where your heart is when it survives?... Here, your calf muscles are strong. Do everything right."

Kitaro hit Zen's legs, calves, waist and arms using a bamboo stick he held. The captain of the Classic Pearl ship nodded in understanding.

Arnius, who had woken up, noticed Zen who had been hit by his master's bamboo stick repeatedly, while enjoying the food that had been prepared by his partner on the table.

"What do you see, finish your food and come here quickly."

Arnius almost choked when he heard his teacher yell. He immediately swallowed the food in his mouth and drank a glass of water.

Finally after several times slashing the tree trunk is large enough, began to sound the crack of the tree. Little by little, the big tree began to fall.

"Braaac.."

Loud booms were heard echoing almost throughout the valley. The loud bang woke up all the inhabitants of the building which was not far from the fall of the tree. Only Genta was still curled under his blanket.

"Finally.."

Zen let out a sigh of relief, having managed to cut down one of the trees.

"Good captain, you managed to cut down one tree. I hope you're not happy first. You must be able to slash every tree that grows back, so that you can knock down the tree with just one slash. Do you understand captain Zen?"

Kitaro's soft words were only responded with a slow nod by the captain of the Classic Pearl, when both eyes were stunned to see the tree trunk that had been cut down now grew back to how it was.

Kitaro smiled little to see Zen who was still fixated on seeing the tree before him grow back to the top.

"Ar, now use the fire knife to cut the tree trunk. Do it as soon as possible, you understand?"

"Murids understand teachers."

All Classic team members watched everything Zen and Arnius did. Keiko pulled the body of Genta who was still asleep, making him have to endure the pain of falling from the bed.

"Clear yourself immediately and also the contents of your stomach, if you want to join these two friends."

Kitaro stared at all of Arnius's comrades, who were only responded with a nod. They rushed to finish the food that was already available and rushed towards the waterfall to clean themselves up.
