Thunder God

"Holy shit, these people need to stop talking…"

"Stop acting like some drunkard being woken up on the side of the street, Zane, quiet down."

"Me quiet down? You're the one yelling! Are you telling me this is how you used to train your affinity every day?"

Zane and I were currently sitting in the auditorium of our first day at Prep. We made sure to be early so we could get a relatively good seat. Yesterday's trip to the market was fun, but it also made me realize that I was starting to slack off after having not trained for a couple of days.

I mentioned my concerns to Zane, and while reluctant, he wanted to try. As it turns out, my method of expending all of my internal energy was well known - I wasn't some idiot savant. Everyone used the method, and in fact, the difference between a good Dungeoneer and a bad one was apparently their ability to use internal energy. Skills helped, but your internal energy could dramatically change how you advance or progress. All news to me! In fact, Zane said that everyone augmented their Skills using internal energy, but most waited until after Rank 1. Apparently, the headache that comes with expending all of your internal energy at once is called 'Burnout'. The feeling that comes along with the Burnout is NOT fun. Over time, I've gotten used to the headaches, but apparently, most people don't put themselves through that torture early on.

Zane was one of these people. He had been reluctant to even try it, against all of his previous tutors' advice, but when I told him how high a percentage my progress was, he was pretty keen to give it a shot.

So, before coming to class, we both used all of his internal energy to augment our eyes before using our Skills on each other.

The results had been lack-luster, of course. Zane was a lean 165 pounds, while I was still 202... but who's counting, really.

Zane had screamed almost instantly. We were both pleased to know that he hadn't passed out, but his headache continued up until now, while we waited in class.

I was glad that I was still making progress, having progressed to 69%.
