Korin's expression remains blank as he stares down the very determine young Kai. Oryan decides to go all out this time and make use of the After Image technique. He takes his stance once again in preparation.

It appears as though Oryan is just standing their in his opening stance when suddenly Korin makes a quick step back and then another to the right.

Less than a moment later, Oryan came skidding to a halt behind Korin on his chest. HOW!!! I know he couldn't see my movements. He never moved his head when I went behind him...

Oryan stood up and tried to run through everything that had happened so far in his mind. Every time Korin had dodged him with the same level of ease no matter what he did.

There's only one explanation as to how he could be doing this...He must be a full blown psychic of some sort...Hmm... Oryan thinks as he eyes the old cat.

Korin's expression changed drastically, but only for a moment. He knew he'd been found out. Partially at least. Oryan smiled at that. He now knew that his assumption was correct.

"What's the matter, Master Korin, you seem a bit shook up!" Oryan shouted as he sprang forward and tried to grab the cat once again. He noticed that this time the cat's movement was frantic. He also barely managed to evade.

"Having trouble focusing now that you're found out, Mr. Psychic?!" Oryan shouts as he makes another attempt at snatching up the cat. He gets even closer this time and Korin is clearly distraught.

Alright, I have to go about this tactfully and keep pouring on the heat. If I can keep him on edge he won't be able to keep his focus and he'll lose his advantage entirely. Oryan thinks as he says, "Alright, Korin. Now that I know your secret I've got you right where I want you."

Korin's doing his best to regain his composure, but the bit of sweat that dripped from his nose gave him away. Oryan chuckled at that, springing forward as he yelled, "Haha, Go ahead and see if you can dodge this."

Korin began wildly running around the tower with his cane in one hand and the jug of Holy Water in the other. Oryan quickly changed direction and gave chase.

Even though it was clear that Oryan was faster than Korin physically, Korin could still hold out for a while now. "I'm closing in on you now, Korin." Oryan said as he zigged and zagged right along with Korin, doing his best to keep up.

Korin used his cane and a little bit of his speed to run up a wall, kick off, and land right behind Oryan, never losing his speed at all. Oryan wasn't expecting such acrobatics from Korin and had to stop and turn around to go after him again.

"You're just prolonging the inevitable, Korin. That was a good move, but it won't work twice and you can't run forever," Oryan says, closing the distance between himself and Korin once again.

"You're mine!" Oryan shouts as he, in one final burst, uses all the speed of the after image technique and picks Korin up of the ground in a Full Nelson. He didn't try to cause pain, though. He made Korin drop the water and he drank it.

"Hate to tell you, Oryan, but that's just regular water. I pulled the wool over your eyes so I could do the training without you knowing. If you knew that was the training, you wouldn't have fallen for it. The water you drank was just normal tap water," Korin breaks the disappointing news to Oryan rather bluntly.
"WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?" Oryan shouted at the top of his voice as he listens to what the cat had to say...."Augh!"

"Hahaha, don't feel bad. You got your training. Not only did it test your speed and stamina, but you had to think, too. Just like I said, right?" Korin asks as he finishes his hearty laugh.
"Well, come to think of it, Korin, I guess you're right," Oryan replies with a somewhat disheartened expression.

"In any case, take this," Korin says, tossing a small brown leather pouch in Oryan's direction.
Oryan snatches the pouch from the air and replies, "What's this little bag for, Master Korin?"

"That's a pouch that you can use to hold senzu beans in," Korin explains, pulling a bean from seemingly nowhere and holding it up for Oryan to see.
"Senzu bean? You mean those beans that restore you to full strength, right?" Oryan asks.

"That's correct, Oryan. I see that the Kai's teach their descendants well as always," Korin answers with a smile.
"Yeah, They don't slack off in the knowledge aspect of their teaching...." Oryan said as he opens up the empty pouch, expecting to find at least one bean already inside.

"Aw, man. What do I have to do to get a senzu, Korin? Because it looks like you're not giving them out..." Oryan asks, adding the bit at the end for effect.
"You have to bring me a fish. Not just any fish either. I want a Red Snapper. They're my favorite. If you can bring me one, then I'll give you a bean," Korin explains, licking his lips as he mentions the name of the fish.

"So I have to go fishing, eh? Well I don't have a problem with that, although it will take up a bit more of my time than I thought," Oryan replied, cupping his chin in his left hand.
"A little piece of advice that might help you out...The camp at the base of this tower makes and sells finely crafted fishing rods," Korin points out, unaware whether Oryan had hung around down there long or not before making his ascent.

"Ah, thanks, Korin. I'll check it out on my way to find a good fishing spot," Oryan says as he walks out to the edge of the tower and turns back to Korin. "I'll be back with that fish really soon. NIMBUS!" He shouts and leaps over the edge, beginning to free fall.

As he fell his Nimbus would shoot out of the clouds just below, go up and over him, quickly sweeping around and zooming right under his feet. It continued it's downward rush.

It soon began a slow change in direction. It began making an upward turn to keep from crashing into the ground. Oryan widened his footing slightly, doing his best to keep his balance.

Once again Oryan makes his way to Korin's Tower. He hops off of his Nimbus and yells, "Hey, Korin! I got you a red snapper like you asked." Oryan was still holding the fish in one hand.

Korin heard the news and came running to greet Oryan, a senzu bean in hand. Oryan gladly handed the fish over and took the bean. "Thanks, Korin."

"No, thank you," Korin replied as he took the red snapper and disappeared from sight. Oryan just shrugged and popped the senzu bean in his mouth, munching down in it.

Feeling as revitalized as ever, the newly re-energized Oryan notices that Tyson's energy signature is up above him....by a fair distance.

He steps to the edge of the lookout and leaps upward, using his Ki to slowly ascend. He has every intent of finding the place that Tyson is at.
