"It's a pleasure and an honor to know your true name, Oryan. My name is Nagai," the monk replies.
"Ah, it's good to know your name as well, Nagai. What else can you teach me?" Oryan feels a bit awkward to have learned from someone who kept him in such high esteem.

"Ah, of course. This next technique is used for more defensive purposes. You've already learned a couple of offensive techniques as well as one that can be used for both, so this will be fitting," Nagai says as he walks over and stands in front of Oryan, facing him.

"I need you to throw a blast of energy at me. Doesn't have to be powerful or flashy. I just need something to convey my point with," Nagai says, taking a defensive stance.
"Alright then, get ready," Oryan says as he gathers a bit of energy in his left hand.

Oryan thrust his left arm towards Nagai and released the energy at him. The blast flew at him at top speed.
Oryan then noticed a strange aura flickering on and off around Nagai's frame. Nagai seemed to be focusing energy, but he needed to hurry or that blast would hit him in the chest.

At the last second, Nagai opened his eyes and shouted, "HA!" As he did this, a nearly invisible wave of energy pulsated from his body and the blast halted in its tracks and began moving at incredible speed back in Oryan's direction.

Oryan was very surprised by the way that his own energy blast decided to turn tail on him and aim itself back in his direction. He was caught off guard by it, but still managed to slice it in half with a quick stroke of his right hand in a chopping motion. The two halves gave a small explosion, leaving a light cloud of smoke around him.

"Oryan, that was just a small taste of what the Ki Cannon technique can do. With enough power in the right situation, you can turn an opponent's strongest attack back against them. It takes a lot of power to return powerful attacks though, so use it wisely," Nagai warns Oryan, maintaining his defensive stance.

"Let's see that again..." Oryan says, gathering some more energy, this time in both hands.
"Okay, Oryan. I'm ready whenever. I can take a much stronger blast, just don't make it more than you can handle, because it's going to come back at you," Nagai replies with a smirk.

Oryan charged a bit more energy into both palms before thrusting both arms forward and firing the energy into one powerful blast. This blast moved a bit faster than the small one had since it had more force behind it. It was also nearly the size of a beach ball.

Just as Oryan expected, when the blast came close enough to Nagai, he was able to counter it the same way he had the smaller blast.
"HAAA!!" Nagai shouted a bit more forceful this time and released a much larger pulse of energy. It was clear that the larger the blast to be countered, the more energy that the Ki Cannon required.

Well, since he just sent it back, I'd prefer not to make the dojo explode, so maybe my first attempt will be enough to completely halt it. Oryan took a defensive stance in preparation and began charging his power.

"Ha-HAAAA!!!" Oryan yelled as he forced all the energy he'd gathered outward in an attempt to replicate the effects that Nagai had produced. The blast of energy slowed down drastically, and even lost a lot of power, but it still hit Oryan in the chest and exploded, knocking him to the ground.

Oryan stood up, dusting himself off. He could feel that a noticeable portion of his energy reserves had been taken in order to reduce the blast down to that strength. This gave him a fair indication of why the Ki Cannon was to be used sparingly.

"Now I want you to hit me with a blast, and I'll try to counter it," Oryan said as he let his energy reserves relax. He didn't want to be prepared for the blast, since it's unlikely that he'd be prepared if he were in a real fight.

"Okay, Oryan," Nagai said, beginning to build up energy in his right palm. He relaxed his stance and kept his right hand dangling at his size.
Oryan kept his mind focused and his energy concentrated. He widened his defensive stance slightly as he awaited his chance to attempt the technique.

"You're really something, Oryan. Not very many people can master these techniques so quickly. You're not human, are you?" Nagai questions Oryan as he gathers energy.
"You're right, I'm not Human. I'm a Kai. We're the self proclaimed guardians of the universe. Most of us are, anyway. I don't really guard the universe. I just do the right thing when the time comes," Oryan replied.

"I was just asking, is all," Nagai said with a smirk. He'd tricked Oryan into letting his guard down completely with some idle conversation. He also learned a bit about who Oryan really was. He raised his arm with quick speed and fired the built up energy at Oryan.

Oryan smiled when he realized what Nagai had done. He'd broken Oryan's concentration so that he'd be less prepared. Oryan saw the blast coming and began to focus and build up as much energy in such a short time period as he could.

The blast was just inches away from Oryan's chest when he unleashed his energy in a powerful, explosive pulse. "HAAAAA!!!" He yelled solemnly and forcefully as the blast came his way.

The blast halted less than three inches from his face and immediately shot off in the opposite direction. By that time, Nagai already had enough energy for a counter blast and just raised his hand and released the energy, making the two blasts explode.

"Nice job, Oryan. I'd expect no less from you," Nagai says as he smacks his hands together as if he'd completed a hard day's work.
"If you don't mind, I have a suggestion for the next technique, Nagai," Oryan said as he looked around the dojo to see what many other fighters were doing.

"What's that, Oryan?" Nagai asks, beginning to look around at the rest of the dojo as well in hopes of seeing what Oryan was seeing.
"The Masenko-Ha. I've seen and heard a few fighters use it in the background while I was trying to focus on my training here. It seems like a useful technique."

"Okay then, Oryan. I'll show you the stance and the hand form. After that, it's mostly just energy manipulation that you'll need to work on," Nagai explains as he widens his feet and raises his hands above his head.

"Now, place your hands above your head like so," Nagai says as he places his palms one in front of the other with his thumbs clasped together.
"Alright," Oryan says as he changes his stance to mimic Nagai's and then raises his hands up, placing his palms one in front of the other as well.

"Now, this is when you would channel your energy through both arms, holding it in the palm that's farthest forward." As Nagai speaks he begins to rapidly surge energy into his palms.
Oryan nods as he watches and begins to follow suit, but he gathers energy at a relaxed pace since this is only practice.

Moments later, Nagai speaks again, "Now you will thrust both hands forward, maintaining the hand form you have. You'd then release all your energy in a wide, powerful beam of energy."
Oryan nods again and prepares to launch the energy he's gathered as if he were actually performing the technique.

Simultaneously, Oryan and Nagai thrust both hands out from their chests and fired off the energy they had gathered. Oryan's attack was rather small compared to Nagai's. Nagai's was wide and moved at a rather high speed.

Oryan watched Nagai's blast more than his own. Although it was a beam, it was a rather wild and wide beam compared to others he'd seen. It also seemed to have much more power than an attack that took that amount of time to create should have had.

"How did you gather that much energy so quickly?" Oryan asks as he sees the beam hit a large metal target and explode. "It seemed much more powerful than anything you could normally create in that amount of time."

Nagai then replied with a chuckle, "Heheheh, that's one of the advantages of Masenko. By properly channeling energy through both hands into one place, its just like building up energy within the core of your body. You can do it much faster than normal."
