SCENE 15 - Special Training: The Way of the Dragon

1)
1: Hey, stop being a jackass and get over here!
2: Is he gonna kill himself? Why did he pick our building?!
3: Shut up!
4(2b): No one in this company needs me! You're shit! This whole world is shit!
5: That's Sakamoto-kun...we fired him last month!
6: He used to work here?!
7: Look...I'm one of the chosen ones...!

68)
1: Long live the ESP district!!

69)
1(2b): Electromagnetic interference cut off the video feed, but it seems that the falling lightning injured many people.
2: We are not sure where the man is right now.
3(3b): If this turns out to be another case of ESP terrorism, then it may have some effect on the government's deliberations over the "ESP Regulations."
4: This is scary!
5: Yeah.

70)
1: August...
2(2b): Seventy...nine...
3: Summer vacation's already half over.
4: Hoo!
5: Eighty...
6: Mornings are nothing but roadwork and workouts, as usual...
7-8: Haa
9: It's so hot!
10: In the afternoons
11: Oww!
12: we do individual training.

71)
1: Peh!
2: Guh...16!!
3: Peh!
4(2b): Repeated teleportation...is really h-hard...
5: Pepehhhhh!!
6(small on left and right): Stand up! Don't go to sleep!
7: Umm...
8: Ohh...I got a match!
9(small): concentration game
10(2b): You're out of time. Keep doing it until you can find them all within 5 minutes!
11: Uehhh!!

72)
1(2b): --Let me repeat: this isn't to train clairvoyance or memory.
2: You need to focus on "the thoughts of the person who played with these cards before."
3: Use psychometry to discern the numbers.
4: Absorb those memories...
5(2b): quicker, deeper, more accurately.
6(small): She's great, isn't she? That's why I bought the DVD!
7: Mmm...you really do have great taste.
8: I hate how I have to see all this excess stuff.
9: Concentrate,
10: concentrate!!

73)
1(2b): Summer vacation will be over so soon.
2: Hah
3: Ahh!
4: Waaaahh!
5(2b): Hey...why am I the only one who isn't doing ESP training?!
6: What's with all this sparring?!
7: This isn't normal sparring. You're not allowed to leave the circle.

74)
1(2b): The circle? You mean this rope?! I feel so cramped in here!
2: Really? Maybe it's because you keep trying to kick.
3: What I'm going to teach you now
4: is something I taught your father and numerous policemen.
5: It's a suppression-style of martial arts.
6: It's called CPC: Cross Panda Combat.
7(3b): Imagine yourself fighting numerous opponents in a small room. This is Panda-style close combat, which combines Kali and Aiki, designed for those types of situations!!

75)
1(2b): Resist using punches, kicks, and thrusts, attacks that only agitate the opponent.
2(2b): Instead, watch his movements, and push, pull, and twist!
3: You will knock them off their center of gravity and down them by using minimal strength!
4: Higih!
5: Then, you must immobilize them immediately.
6: Owww.
7: Th...that last part is so plain!!

76)
1: I'm...getting dizzy from being thrown so much.
2: You sure complain a lot.
3: I have my part-time job now, master, so I must leave.
4: --ever since that day,
5(2b): the world's been in emergency mode. I know I can't be selfish now, but...
6: At this rate, I'll just keep getting beat up, and summer will end...
7: I just...wanted to go to the beach, at least once...
8: I AM a high school student...
9: Hmm...
10: Guess I have no choice...

77)
1(2b): "Oozora Ayumu." He's one of my disciples, an 8th-grader.
2: You'll be sparring with him from today.

78)
1(2b): Hey...hold on a minute, master. I have to start taking high school exams next year.
2: I have summer classes too, you know!
3(2b): Huh? Who cares about that? Stop being so selfish.
4: Uwahhh, he's arguing.
5: Is this really OK?
6: This isn't about selfishness...
7: I have tests every day at cram school!
8: Is he a really serious student?
9: Pehhh.
10: It really feels like he was forced to come here...
11: He's got an afro...
12: It's a natural perm...
13: Who just said I had an afro?
14: He's mad?!

79)
1: Bugih!!
2: Gehah!
3: Kali?!
4: Hohoh! That's what you get for letting your guard down.

80)
1: Weak.
2: I don't have time for this. Next!
3: Azuma-san!!
4: Alright.
5: So master taught this guy and my father Kali...
6: I won't go easy on you because you're a girl!
7: Wait a minute...
8: He's really agile!!
9: Fight as if this is a real battle.
10: Incidentally, if you can beat him, you get to have a vacation on the beach.

81)
1: Beach?!
2: But I don't have a swimsuit!!
3: Guhah!
4: Concentrate, dammit!
5(2b): Are you underestimating me? I came all the way here for you...
6: This is why I hate girls!
7: I've got to fight seriously.
8: My beach vacation depends on it...

82)
1: --come at me, "white girl."
2(2b): I heard about you from master.
3: AND I saw you on TV.

83)
1: Huh? His reactions are so quick.
2: He dodged her easily!
3: Hm...?
4: I can't believe you call yourself a hero at this level...
5: Owww!
6: Please don't think you're ready to fight terrorists.
7: It seems like he's dodging me...
8: before I even attack!

84)
1: Guahh!
2: If all you care about is beach vacations,
3(2b): and shit like that, then you should just quit training.
4: You're a child.
5: Self-centered!
6: Gahah!
7: Rinka-san!!

85)
1: Guh...
2: Alright.
3: What'll it be, elementary school kid?
4: You're up next.
5: Ah...
6(2b): --Just kidding. I'm going home.
7: It's plain to see you aren't a "combat type."

86)
1: I have cram school now, so I gotta go.
2(2b): I don't have time to mess around with self-satisfied girls.
3: Uuu...I couldn't even more.
4: You alright?
5: It's strange...
6: He isn't as fast as master.
7: It was like he was...
8: predicting which way I'd attack.

87)
1: Pathetic! All three of you couldn't last more than 5 minutes!!
2: What have you been doing over this past month?!
3: You need to push yourselves to the limit more!!
4: Master...I have a question.
5: Does he have ESP too?
6: No comment!
7: Think about it on your own.
8: OK then...
9: I guess I'll give it a try...

88)
1: H...he grabbed it!!
2: From behind!
3: So cool.
4: It's almost like he knew it was coming...

89)
1: But...
2: Stop! We're done fighting!
3: Give it up already!
4: Now, now.
5: I know you may think it's rude
6: that I'm being this persistent, but...

90)
1(2b): Dammit! He's teleporting!
2: There!
3: Gotcha.
4: He got him?!
5: That wasn't fair!! You didn't get me!
6: No one could dodge that!
7(2b): Hahaha! But you were using ESP too, right?

91)
1(2b): I mean, if we lose track of this town...
2: then you won't even have a place to take all your exams.
3: So, I'm sorry, but...
4: Please spar with us a bit longer.
5: Wait...
6: Don't tell me his ESP ability is...

92)
1(2b): P...prognostication?!
2: I knew it.
3(2b): Yeah...but.
4: He can't only predict things that happen two seconds ahead.
5: Guehh?!

93)
1: Two seconds? That's all?
2(3b): Probably. If he could do it longer, then we probably wouldn't have met him on his way home,
3: and he would have been able to think up a counterattack to my teleporting.
4: He's probably
5(2b): constantly seeing the world two seconds ahead from how it actually is.
6(2b): Of course, even with his ability,
7: there still must be a limit on how fast his brain processes things.

94)
1(2b): Which means...if you found a way to perfect the 100-hit punch to a speed that exceeds his reaction time...
2: Wahh!!
3: Impossible!!
4: But
5: honestly, Ayumu-kun
6: seems strong enough already without his ESP.
7: Asuma-san's attack back there...
8-9: hah
10: reminded me of Minami's teleport attack.

95)
1: --which means that not even Ayumu-kun
2: Gyahah
3: could beat Minami?
4: And then I...
5-6: hah
7: can't even beat Ayumu-kun...
8: If all you care about is beach vacations
9: and shit like that, then you should just quit training.
10: I won't be able to beat her as long as I live.
11: Maybe I have been
12: slacking off a bit too much...

96)
1: I need to get stronger.
2-3: hah
4: This is something I decided on.
5: I need to think...
6(2b): about how to push myself to my utmost limit.

97)
1: Am I really doing
2: all that I can?
3: Am I really a non-combatant...?
4(2b): Isn't there any way I can use my ESP for battle?
5: Pehhh!
6(2b): No, Peggy! Don't play in my bag!
7: Kweh?
8: Rinka-san's batons?

98)
1: You know what...I've never read a weapon...
2: It's spilling into my head.
3(2b): Rinka-san's fighting style...her physical movements...
4: I wonder if I...
5: could imitate them?

99)
1: Eh?
2: My body...just moved on its own...
3: I-I'm sorry!
4: Are you alright?!

100)
1: Huh?
2: Good morning, master!
3-4: hah
5: We already finished our roadwork and workouts!
6: You sure finished up early today.
7: You must have started at the break of dawn...
8: Where's Murasaki-chan?
9(2b): She's doing solo training at her house.
10: I guess she discovered something.
11: Master...

101)
1: Please teach me about CPC
2: from the beginning again.
3: Hmm...
4(2b): I've once again realized just how small I am...
5: It sure looks like it.
6: In that case, you need to put out some real effort this time...

102)
1: The true secret of CPC lies in countering.
2: Every opponent makes an opening for themselves when they attack.
3: If you get attacked, then you must attack.

103)
1: Use the enemy's power and lock them.
2: Continue this thousands,
3: no, tens of thousands of times.
4: Make your body memorize that split-second timing,
5: and those specialized movements
6: until you develop conditioned reactions.

104)
1: At last,
2: the final day of summer vacation came...
3: I can't believe he actually came.
4: He does have a strong sense of duty, you know.
5(2b): She isn't attacking me. She doesn't want to go first?
6: Last time,
7: I thought it'd just be normal fighting, but it did seem like she caught my stick.

105)
1: Progno-View
2: No matter how many times I simulate it now,
3: Physical transparency will render my attack useless.
4: And no matter what kind of pattern I attack with,
5: she'll counter me.
6: But I can't just stand here forever.
7(2b): And as long as I know a counter is coming...

106)
1: I can just counter it myself.
2: He's so agile!!
3: You haven't seen nothing yet.
4: Progno-View
5: She's re-countering me!

107)
1: No more kicks!
2: The more he thinks, the slower he gets.
3: No matter how many moves he reads ahead,
4: he more he thinks,
5: the slower his body gets in catching up.

108)
1: Guahh
2: Gehh
3: Damit!
4: Relying on prognostication
5: makes him overflow and fall into a frenzy.
6: These attacks can easily be countered
7: with minimal power.
8: Gohoh!

109)
1: Rinka has conditioned reactions now.
2(2b): Even if she's pre-empted by 1000 moves, she'll still continue to counter.
3: Nugah

110)
1: This is the Secret CPC Technique -- the Thousand-Armed Counter!!!
2: Owwwww!

111)
1: That's enough.
2: Wha...
3: How could this happen?!
4: Excellent progression in such a short period.
5: In your situation...
6-7: haa
8: Those moves already had taken root in your body thanks to your father...

112)
1: In Ayumu's situation
2: his physical abilities can't keep up with his ESP.
3(2b): Enough out of you! I just let my guard down, that's all!!
4: let me fight her once more!
5: There's no way I could really lose to someone like her!!
6: --in that case
7: Try me next.
8: Wha...
9: We haven't even fought yet...

113)
1: Kweh!
2: I'll fight you seriously.
3: So take a stance unless you want to get hurt.
4: Murasaki-chan...
5: Nunchuks?
6(2b): --This weapon was bought in an auction from a karate master, by my kung-fu movie loving father...

114)
1: Dragon Remember!!
2: Owaachaaaaa!

115)
1: Buohh?!
2: He couldn't keep up...
3: It was too high-speed!!

116)
1: I...
2: Impossible...
3: Hah
4: M-my arm hurts.
5: Hah
6: It's a miracle!!
