Ty stood on a blue mat, reminiscent of those he had seen back on Earth. As General Mattison observed, he asked, "Does a skeleton need to stretch?"
Ty chuckled lightly. "No, not really. But it does help get in the right mindset," he replied.
General Mattison, clipboard in hand, got down to business. "Let's start with the basics. What does your weapon do, and where is it?"
This question caught Ty off guard. He was a bit perplexed. "That's a good question. I assud you would have that information since you're the one who arrested . Shouldn't you know where it is?"
Ty raised a valid point about the whereabouts of his double-bladed kama. "It's not like I have many places to hide a weapon like that. And what about my small crystal? I had it with before, and now I woke up as a naked black skeleton. By the way, I would prefer so clothes later."
General Mattison nodded in understanding. "Ah, the green Ogre guy – Todd, I believe – took your crystal with him. He seed to have put it in his sack. Is that crystal valuable to you?" He inquired, showing a hint of curiosity about the significance of the item to Ty.
Ty's expression beca thoughtful as he recalled his recent experiences. "Yes, the crystal is special to , though I can't fully explain why right now. Thanks for letting know where it is."
He then shifted the conversation back to his recent battle. "About the fight with Orlong... I was in a tough spot, trapped under the ocean with that unbreakable barrier. Then, unexpectedly, the blade ca flying in. It was strange, almost as if it was talking to , helping stay calm and focused during the fight."
Mattison observed Ty thoughtfully, his finger tapping his chin. "That's intriguing," he mused. "Each blade having its own soul and mind is a rare phenonon. I suggest you try summoning the weapon. It's not common for a wielder to connect so deeply with their blade."
Ty mirrored Mattison's gesture, placing a bony finger on his chin. "I think I rember reading about that," he said, choosing not to ntion the detailed papers he had acquired on their power system. His knowledge was extensive, even if he had missed so finer details in their chanics.
Ty's attempt to summon the blades with a theatrical gesture and a call yielded no response. The silence that followed his command hung in the air, punctuated only by his own bewildernt. "Hmm, I guess that didn't work," he mused, a tinge of disappointnt in his voice.
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted drastically as General Mattison's voice cut through the stillness, his words cold and sharp. "If you don't summon the blade right now, I will have Nanako and Todd killed," he threatened, his gaze piercing into Ty.
Ty's skeletal fra stiffened, a shiver of confusion and horror running down his spine. The gravity of Mattison's words struck him forcefully, leaving him in a state of shock and disbelief at the sudden, drastic turn of events.
"Monts later, a crack of the wind sounded as a massive hole burst from the side of the dojo. The linked Kama blade ca flying in, latching onto Ty's bony hands.
Mattison pulled out the clipboard and began jotting down notes while muttering slightly, 'Little control, the blade can hear, ...'
Ty, a bit confused watching this unfold, tried to break the awkward silence. 'So, is this normal for blades to do?' he asked, noting the four clones still stood at attention, not breaking a sweat, about 20 feet away from him."
Mattison, maintaining his composed expression, nodded thoughtfully. "Golden weapons are quite rare and often possess unique properties, including their own thoughts and emotions. It's not common, but it's docunted in so cases," he explained.
He then shifted the topic slightly. "During your fight with Orlong, did you notice any specific abilities from the blade? Any unusual occurrences or reactions?" he asked, intrigued by the potential insights Ty's experiences could provide.
Ty, visibly perplexed, responded with a hint of frustration. "I thought we were here to showcase my abilities, not to play twenty questions," he remarked, his annoyance palpable. He took a mont before continuing, "But, to answer your question, when I first wielded the blade, I experienced visions of endless death and destruction. It was quite overwhelming.
The blade itself seed to communicate with , suggesting that I have control over the future."
His voice trailed off as he recalled the intense and unsettling experience, highlighting the mysterious and powerful nature of the golden blade in his possession.
General Mattison, intrigued and slightly worried, jotted down more notes. "What exactly do you an by Q20? And it gave you visions? So, so kind of ti variance ability?"
"Ti variance, moves on its own, and gives advice," he mused, summarizing the blade's capabilities. "That's quite remarkable for a weapon. We'll docunt these attributes. Now, what about your other abilities?"
Ty spent the next 30 minutes explaining his unique skill absorption ability. He described how killing soone allows him to use their specialized abilities. He emphasized, though, that this power has a limitation: the orbs containing these skills break after use, making them a one-ti resource.
"Since I've killed soone who had stolen thousands of souls, I've had a substantial supply of abilities to use," Ty added, explaining the scope of his power.
Mattison's pen moved rapidly as he noted down every detail, his expression a mix of fascination and concern. "An ability to absorb and utilize skills from defeated opponents is quite a formidable power," he remarked. "We need to understand and docunt this thoroughly for the capital's benefit during your service period."
Ty's explanation continued as he delved deeper into the chanics of his powers. "I have this massive wheel in my mind that grants access to these powers," he explained. "It's perpetually stuck at 13:18, so I'm not quite sure how many 'souls' I have left. But looking at it, there seems to be an endless line, so I haven't been too concerned about running out."
For the next hour, Ty demonstrated his abilities in the dojo, providing a practical display of his powers. He started by showcasing his black flas, skillfully manipulating them. First, he threw a ball of flas across the room, then he attached the flas to his fist, enhancing the power of his punches and illustrating the versatility of this ability.
He then moved on to a power he had ntioned earlier but hadn't used much before. "This one is about gravity," Ty said, focusing intently. "It's a bit strange, but it lets apply a heavy gravitational force on a target. I feel there's more I can do with it, given so practice."
As he spoke, he demonstrated the gravity power, causing a noticeable increase in the gravitational pull within a specific area of the dojo. Objects and even so of the clones briefly felt the effect, illustrating the potential and raw power of this ability.
General Mattison, observing closely, made ticulous notes on his clipboard. The gravity demonstration, in particular, seed to catch his attention. "That's a significant ability," he comnted. "With proper training and control, it could be a formidable tool in your arsenal."
General Mattison's interest was piqued as Ty recounted the inspiration behind his rocket jet ability. "When I was a kid, I used to watch this show about a robot kid who could fly using rocket boosters on their legs," Ty shared. "And one day, while I was chasing a mber of the Black Clover group, that mory just clicked, and I thought, why not try it?"
Demonstrating his newfound mobility, Ty activated the rocket jets on his feet, zipping around the dojo with impressive agility. This display of rapid movent and control clearly intrigued Mattison, who nodded in approval. "That will certainly co in handy," he remarked, making a note of it.
As the session progressed, Ty thodically went through his range of abilities, until a mont of introspection brought him to a halt. Closing his eyes, he focused inwardly, visualizing a pure black orb in his mind. The orb radiated a dark, ominous hue, stirring a sense of unease within him.
Ty's expression shifted as he observed the orb, a mixture of curiosity and apprehension crossing his skeletal face. The orb seed to hold a deeper significance, perhaps hinting at an untapped or unknown power within him.
General Mattison, noticing Ty's pause and the change in his deanor, looked on with curiosity. "Is there sothing else?" he inquired, ready to docunt any additional abilities or insights Ty might reveal.
Mattison, now with the bandages off his head, looked at Ty with a serious face. "Good, good," he said, putting down his notes. He seed to be thinking about sothing important.
Then he said, "Before we go, I want to have a duel with you." He ntioned that Ty had defeated his ntor, which made it clear this duel was personal for Mattison. He wanted to see how he asured up against Ty.
Ty was a bit surprised by the sudden challenge but got ready for the duel. He knew this was a big deal for Mattison and a chance for him to show his own skills.
The dojo was filled with tension as they both got ready to fight. Mattison, his head now free from bandages, showed his scars from past battles. He looked ready and serious, like he really wanted to test himself against Ty.
The duel was about to start, and both Ty and Mattison were focused. This was going to be an important fight for both of them.
