"And once again...the book is gone..." He muttered, staring at the place on the table where the book had been those two times. Couric sighed and folded his arms behind his head, wondering just where the hell that book kept disappearing to whenever he actually wanted to look through it.

/Maybe someone just waits til I show even the slightest bit of interest in the damn thing and then runs off with it to annoy me.../ He considered, deciding to scout out people using techniques instead of waiting for some sort of teacher to show up and teach him a technique.

"Or maybe you're just over thinking it and the book was just moved so people wouldn't have such easy access to it and rely on it." A voice replied, reading Couric's thoughts as he stepped up to the side of the young Saiyan.
Then teen looked up in the voice's direction, eyes widening a bit. "You!?"

It was the same old man who had given Couric the weights he wore, as long as he actually paid, and usually hung around the dojo at the desk near the poster for the island.
"Oi, Kid. Trying to learn a technique?" The man asked, only to see the young Saiyan nod near instantly after being questioned.

"Alright. Just watch." The old man turned towards a nearby wall that luckily had no one near it at the moment, though that could possibly change due to the randomness of the people who trained here. He drew his hands up over his head and began to gather energy in his palms.
"Just gather a lot of energy..." He began.

A few sparks shot around his hands as he continued to channel ki into his palm. He brought his hands down, palm of his left pressed against the back of his right hand.
"MASENKO....HA!" The old man shouted, releasing a wave of ki towards the wall, Couric's eyes widening a bit.

It collided with the wood and ripped right through the material as though it were made of something weak...like Raditz, if Nappa were here to describe. It dissipated not long after, a proud smirk upon the shop owner's face.
"Just like that, kid. That is the Masenko." Couric could already hear people screaming in horror and running around as crazily as they had the day he had blown up a wall in the dojo.

"Neat." Was all Couric said in response.
"What?! Just neat!?" The old man glared at the teen, having expected a bit more of a reaction. He had honestly expected the young Saiyan to be a bit more impressed by the technique. But then again, he didn't know what kind of techniques Couric had learned since he first came to the dojo.

"Just try using it, kid. I'm sure it'll come in handy for ya." The old man said before heading off, letting the teen master the technique on his own instead of lecturing him on how to perform it absolutely perfectly.
Couric drew his hands up over his head, pressing his left palm against the back of his right hand, beginning to gather ki. He knew it was just a pretty simple release of energy and considering the things Couric had learned, it shouldn't be that hard to perform it.
How wrong he was...OR WAS HE!?

Okay...maybe I was exaggerating...But hey. It did take him more than one try to use it, the first accidentally maiming some poor idiot who was standing right in front of the wall at the wrong time. But, anyways, he EVENTUALLY FIGURED IT OUT! GASP!
Couric moved his hands away from each other, panting a bit due to the amount of energy that had to be gathered as quickly as it was. Then again, he had used it like five times before he managed to do it just right...
OOC: COURIC LEARNED MASENKO...JUST LIKE EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER WILL AFTER THEY LOOK AT THE SUPER MASENKO UPGRADE....DID I MENTION THAT IT'S MASENKO!?

"Phew...That really drains your energy if you use it too much..." Couric chuckled, sitting down on the ground, resting for now so he could train a bit more soon enough. His arms felt a bit sore too, but he ignored that since he really didn't give a damn at the moment. But hey, he had another technique under his belt.

"That thing really charges quickly..." He noted, looking at his hands, a bit of smoke trailing upwards from his palms. He followed the smoke, only to notice that it actually reached high enough to trigger the smoke detector and...well...I think everyone knows what happens when a smoke detector is triggered...

And no. Wet T-Shirt contests involving amazingly hot women do not occur when a smoke alarm is triggered in Hercule City. That would be too convenient and make too little sense considering no sane woman wants to catch on fire while participating in a wet t-shirt contest...then again...
But anyways, getting back to the actual point of this post, Couric had realized that Masenko charged quickly.

"If it charges so quickly..." He began, ignoring the fact that his hair now obeyed the laws of gravity thanks to being wet. He was about to continue speaking when, out of nowhere, a book fell right on his head. Now, that wouldn't have been a problem if the book didn't weigh much more than it seemed to, so yeah...Couric was in pain thanks to a book.

Pulling the book off his head after a few minutes of seeing nothing but stars, Couric looked at the cover and immediately realized what had just fallen on his head.
/It's the book I was looking for earlier...and it fell from the ceiling.../ He blinked, a brow raised. /Why are books falling from the ceiling!?/

He looked at the cover, noticing that it was a bit different than the last time he saw it. It seemed to have a 2 next to the title, suggesting that it was a sequel or something. Couric shrugged and opened the paperback that was somehow not getting wet despite the fact that the sprinkler system was on. Anyways, he began to look through it...

He came across one technique that caught his eye near instantly, the superior to the technique that he had just learned minutes earlier. A bit of surprise showed in his expression as he read the description.
"Super Masenko, huh?" He muttered, taking one last look at the page before he got to his feet and prepared himself to fire the damn thing.

He drew his hands up over his head, left palm pressed against the back of the right hand, energy being focused into his right palm. With the Masenko technique, the energy gathered pretty damn quickly...but with this form...it practically sucked the ki right from his body at the rate it was going.
/This.../ He thought, gritting his teeth a bit as energy continued to gather.

/...is definitely not something I want to use over and over.../ He chuckled mentally, already feeling a bit worn out just from gathering so much ki into one spot. Then again, he had just fired five Masenkos earlier...THANK GOD FOR THE FACT THIS ISN'T IN BATTLE!
"Alright...HERE WE...GO!" He shouted, bringing his hands down and firing the massive burst of ki towards the nearby wall.

Needless to say, it'd be several hours later that Couric actually mastered the technique, having maimed another poor bastard with it when it misfired and went towards the wall with the punching bags. But hey, that'd be fixed by someone who actually gave a damn later. ANYWAYS....
Couric fell onto his rump, hands smoking like hell after finally managing to properly fire the Super Masenko for the second time. And yes, lots of rest had been required. And probably another hour or so would be.

Couric yawned, arms stretching outwards, having fallen asleep after that final use of Super Masenko. Stretching his arm out over his head and in the direction of his opposite shoulder, he reached up and grabbed his wrist, tugging down on it a bit as he got to his feet.
"Yeesh....I wonder how long I've been out for...?"

"Probably a few hours...at least..." Couric shrugged and looked around the dojo, a bit of shock in his expression when he noticed that every single wall in the dojo had been perfectly repaired while he was knocked out from exhaustion.
"Wow...Those architects here must be pretty amazing to patch things up so quickly..."

/That or they just don't have anything better to do than repair walls in a dojo.../ Couric chuckled mentally, only to notice one of the repairmen that was still in the room was glaring at him....
MENACINGLY!!
Couric just blinked and shrugged it off, returning to whatever he was doing.

"Anyways...now that I'm one hundred percent...I might as well try and learn something else from that bo-" It was gone again. A sigh of annoyance and Couric looked around the room, wondering just where it had disappeared to.
/This is starting to get inconvenient.../

It was about then that Couric would notice a ki approaching, a brow raised as he turned his head. Drawing his elbow up, he managed to block the palm strike of said presence, a bit surprised by who he saw had tried to strike. It was the repairman and he was glaring at the young Saiyan...
MENACINGLY!!!

"Sheesh...Someone's a bit touchy about mental comments when they shouldn't be reading minds." Couric said, tilting his head back as a palm went sailing over his face, having been aimed for his nose. That was a rather basic way of killing someone, hitting them hard enough in the nose to send the bone right into their brain.
"Change that. Really touchy."

Drawing his left hand up, he aimed at the man's chest and fired off a shockwave, sending the man who repaired walls right into one with the force of the technique. The repairman bounced off the wall and back towards Couric, hand held back, left shoulder closer to the ground. And he smashed his palm into the ground where the teen had stood mere milliseconds earlier.

Couric gathered up his ki, facing the repairman who had silently declared vengeance against the teen for his thoughts. He glared once more at his target...
MENACI[/i]*gets shot*..ngly....*diez*
Anyways...he charged the young Saiyan, preparing to strike him down for criticizing the great repairmen of Earth, taking this waaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.

Couric just smirked and waited, ready for the repairman when he finally got in range for his attack. He had seen this move in the book earlier and had finally realized just how to perform the combo strike, his palms giving off a faint glow thanks to the ki he had charged in preparation.

The repairman was met by one glowing palm to the stomach, causing him to gasp out in p-or attempt to as another palm smashed into his stomach, followed by several more and one straight to the base of his jaw, sending him upwards into the air. Couric drew both hands up and brought them forward, striking the man right in the chest with both hands, knocking him into the wall he had just bounced off of.
The Saiyan smirked and turned around, heading out of the dojo for today.
/That's enough techniques for now.../
OOC: WOLF FANG FIST HAS BEEN UPGRADED INTO WOLF WIND ATTACK...despite the fact that wind was involved in no way...at all...seriously. Well, except for the fact the guy farted once he hit the wall, but that's about it.
