Chapter 8:

  The next day:

  In the Onizawa Residence, Ketsuki and Tatsumi were training, with Ketsuki explaining to her how to control Ichor, and how it works. "You see, Ichor is inside few people in this world. Everyone 100,000 people in this world, one of them is born with Ichor inside them, of course if you have connection to Ichor via your ancestors and parents it guaranteed to have Ichor inside you. Ichor is shaped by the first person in the linage to ever use it, for example, let's say that your grandfather trained his Ichor to give him enhanced strength, and your father did the same, if you wanted to train your Ichor to make you fly, that would be either impossible, or you will not live enough to make it possible, but if you made a slight change in the Ichor, your kids and their kids can use that small change to reshape the entire Ichor to make flight possible"

  Tatsumi obviously did not understand anything from what Ketsuki said, so he deadpanned at her and said "Imagine it as clay or playdough, if you made a shape and it got hard, it would be impossible to change it without breaking it, so melting it slowly overtime is the only option, clear?"

  Tatsumi now understood, and said "Now I get it, so you wanna say that I have an ancestor who was so angry that his anger was passed down to me?". Ketsuki just shrugged nonchalantly "Maybe, and maybe you are just lucky to have Ichor by nature, either way you will need to train it" he said, before leaving the room, coming back shortly after and holding a training dummy. The dummy looked weird, it looked almost human, but with no hands or legs, just standing on its stand, with an eerily calm face on it. Ketsuki sighed and said "This is a level 1 Stray, The Mad Dummy, it's a sentient and fully living training dummy that mimics the human body perfectly but can't move or do anything, and can regenerate as well, so it's perfect for training.", He said, before punching the dummy in the gut, making it spit out blood, and but it quickly healed as if nothing happened.

  Tatsumi's eyes widened, as she stared at the dummy in awe and slightly creeped out look. Ketsuki just sighed and said "I am not sure how to help you with your Ichor since your Ichor is an Enhancement Ichor, while mine is Emitter Ichor, so I will leave this dummy with you so you figure things out, just call me if you needed anything." He said before turning to leave the room.

  Stolen story; please report.

  Tatsumi quickly stopped him "Wait! What do you mean Emitter and Enhancement? What are you talking about?" Tatsumi asked in confusion. Ketsuki sighed tiredly, before explaining "There are 4 types of Ichor, Enhancement Ichor like yours which causes any form of enhancement to an aspect, like enhancing strength, or speed, or agility, or intelligence, or anything else, some even enhance life spam. Emitter Ichor allows the user to affect other things, like my negate, or for example an Ichor that allows the user to create a blackhole. Conjuring Ichor which allow the use to create things out of thin air, like water or ice or fire or anything like that. and lastly there is Transmitter Ichor which allows the user to manipulate existent things, for example an Ichor that allows the user to cause things to disintegrate or an Ichor that allows the user to create things out of already existent things..." Ketsuki then sighed tiredly, looking at her in annoyance, "Is that enough explanation?". Tatsumi still looked confused, but nodded anyways, Ketsuki then nodded as well, before leaving the room, leaving her with the dummy..

  Tatsumi hesitantly approached the dummy, before shakily punching it, but it was a soft and weak punch. The dummy suddenly let out a loud cackle, mocking Tatsumi, its eyes wide and crazed, with a wide and wicked grin on its face, "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT LITTLE GIRL?!?! HOW PATHETIC!!AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" The thing cackled madly, which freaked out Tatsumi, but also made her angry, "WHO ARE YOU CALLNIG PATHETIC YOU FREAK!?!?" she would yell out before punching the dummy, with her fist flaring with red aura.

  The dummy's eyes widened as it coughed out huge amount of blood, looking at Tatsumi. "W-what the hell was that!? What the hell are you, y-you freak!!" The dummy exclaimed. Tatsumi looked at her fist in surprise, before looking at the dummy with a wicked and bloodthirsty smirk and said "I Get it now, I get how these damn things work, all I need is to get pissed off right? SO BE IT THEN!!" She would say, as her red aura flared up even more around her body, looking like a crimson inferno dancing around her. The Dummy's eyes widened in fear, as Tatsumi would then start to beat the absolute living hell out of the dummy, her punches and kicks getting stronger and stronger the more she kicks and punches, the dummy screaming and spitting out blood, whimpering in agony.

  After a while, Tatsumi got tired, and the dummy was sent unconscious due to how badly it was beaten up, Ketsuki would then walk in casually, holding two cups of cold orange juice in his hands, and handed one to Tatsumi. "Damn, I see you beaten the damn thing badly huh? He had it coming though."

  Tatsumi just nodded, before grabbing the orange juice and drinking it all in one go, giving herself a brain freeze. Ketsuki just sighed, "At least you now understand your Ichor..." He would pause, before continuing, "Say, would you wanna go with me in a hunting mission? It would be a great chance for you to get some practical experience"

  Tatsumi let's go of her head, wincing in slight pain, before widening her eyes as she nodded eagerly "HELL YEAH I AM GOING!!" She exclaimed excitedly. Ketsuki just nodded, smiling at her, "Alright then, get ready for tomorrow, we will be traveling to Kyoto to hunt down a level 5 Stray".

  And with that, the duo- No, the trio after including Tenshiko who begged to come with them, will be heading to Kyoto to hunt down a level 5 Stray, in Tatsumi's first ever hunting, Unaware that the Kyoto trip would be the start of a way bigger journey.
