"Oh, I understand now. It had me perplexed as to how you did it before. Anyway, I think I'm ready to give it a full power attempt," Oryan says with a smirk as he places his hands above his head once again.

"Alright then, Oryan, let me see what you've got," Nagai replies, crossing his arms and waiting for his student to make his move.
Oryan then nods in reply and begins to rapidly gather energy above his head, surging it through both arms.

Oryan's arms begin to shake a bit as he feels massive amounts of energy begin to build up in his palm. Not only is he already feeling the drain of the technique, but it's difficult to control such a rapidly changing, very powerful attack.

"That's the difficult part. Masenko allows you to place nearly all of your energy into one attack at an incredibly fast rate, so naturally it's difficult to keep it under control. I think it'd be best if you went a bit further building up your power and then work on controlling it," Nagai explains, seeing his pupil struggle a bit.
Oryan only does his best to nod in response as he focuses with all his might to control his energy.

Oryan did as his teacher requested and gathered more energy into his focal point. He only gathered a little more, however, since he wasn't sure just how much he could keep under control and he didn't want to end up blasting someone by mistake.

Oryan's whole body is sweating from the strain of having spent so much energy so quickly. He's also still straining his mind and body to concentrate on keeping said energy under control. In a crucial situation, he'd actually have to aim this much energy.

"Excellent, Oryan. Just keep your focus and try to prepare for launching the attack. You'll need to compress the energy upon launching it as much as you can, otherwise you'll lose most of the offensive power," Nagai gives yet another explanation to his pupil.

Keeping so much energy bound up for such an extended period was really starting to take its toll on Oryan. He winced as sweat poured down his face, dripping from his nose and chin. He gritted his teeth and held on, though.

"I think you've done enough, Oryan. Much longer and you might lose consciousness and let that thing fly randomly. Go ahead and fire it. Just aim for the metal target over there," Nagai says, pointing to where he'd sent his earlier.

"Masenko!" Oryan shouts as he quickly and precisely thrusts his palms forward, straight out from chest level. "HAAA!!" He continues as he unleashes a beam of energy from his palms that's at least twice as wide as he is in every direction.

"Now for a mind game. Oryan, you show an incredible level of focus and concentration, even for someone of your heritage. I have met a couple of your kind before, so I know. I think the Psychic Halt technique would suit you well," Nagai states, patting Oryan on the back.

Oryan would have sighed very heavily at what he just heard from his teacher, but he was already breathing so heavily that it would have sounded just like a normal breath at the moment.

"Psychic techniques aren't something that anyone can easily master. Not only do you need focus and concentration, but you need mental strength as well," Nagai tries to explain the requirements of the technique as best he can.

Oryan finally manages to speak in between breaths, "Don't worry.... I understand how... those mental games work... My father used them... on me during our training... I've also sparred with other kais... that used them."

Nagai finally becomes the one nodding as a means of reply after he hears Oryan's words. He then speaks up again, "Hhhmm, okay then. So let's see what you can do. I'll do some air kickboxing and you focus on stopping my movement."

Oryan replies in between breaths again, "Dang....can't you...hold on...I'm still...a bit winded..." He would have laughed when he said that, too, but he was too busy feeling his insides burn.

"Alright, take a breather. I do imagine it would be hard to concentrate if you're exhausted," Nagai says.
Oryan makes no reply and simply sits down on the training mat. He gets into a meditative sitting form and begins to do so, relaxing and trying to focus his mind and body.

"I suppose you're right, Oryan. It would be hard to have strength of mind if you're exhausted and too stirred up from the difficulties of training." Nagai shrugs as he speaks.
Oryan continues to meditate and seemingly ignores him.

"I do remember them saying that resting is also a key part of training. If you over-exert yourself you're worse of than before you started training to begin with, right?" He asks Oryan rhetorically. He knew now that Oryan wouldn't reply.

Nagai did notice that Oryan's breathing had finally calmed down to a controllable level. He also seemed to be in a bit of a meditative trance.

Nagai quickly grew bored of this situation and started whistling and tapping his left foot as he waited on Oryan to finish his break.
Oryan was smiling on the inside as he began to focus and attempt to use the Psychic Halt technique.

The effects started off slow since Oryan hadn't used the technique before. First it only messed up Nagai's whistling and made his foot tapping out of rhythm.

Shortly after his whistling became a 'stop and go' sort of noise, with it starting and stopping as Oryan attempted to control his mental abilities.

Nagai caught on to exactly what was happening and continued to attempt whistling and tapping his foot. It was actually starting to get tiresome to do so. That was a good sign for Oryan.

Then there came breif pauses in the whistling and tapping altogether, almost like the pause itself was the rhythm which Nagai was following.

After that, the pausing stopped and Nagai was able to easily and fluidly do both actions once again. He raised one eye brow at this, but kept on doing both.

Moments later, Nagai would feel the full might of Oryan's mental constriction. He would barely be able to blink, let alone tap his foot or whistle.

"Now...I'll put up...some resistance!" Nagai exclaimed as he used his full strength to try and break out of Oryan's mental hold. Oryan's facial expression shifted rather quickly. It was now one of determination and focus, no longer the same relaxed expression he had before.

Nagai was now trying his best to move towards Oryan so he could give him another congratulatory pat on the back, but Oryan wasn't finished quite yet.

Even trying with all his might, Nagai had come to a complete and total stop. Oryan's Psychic Halt was finally mastered and successful. Oryan released Nagai at that and stood up with a triumphant look about him.
