Chapter 26: Re-Test pt. 2

Finally they all turned to Thaleus. They knew that out of all of them his progress had improved by leaps and bounds and they were all excited to see just how strong he had become. He walked up to the gong and started to circulate his Ki to start. He had almost reached a point where he could produce and aura of ki energy around him. His friends could feel as if the air around them had become slightly denser as if a cat or a small dog was sitting on their chests. Thaleus closed his eyes to shut out the rest of the world for a second. He want to put 100% of his effort into this one hit. He was standing just far enough away from the gong to use his Time Warp followed by his Fractured Twist Kick. However he thought of something new that might add just a tiny bit more power into his attack. He took one more deep breath and a barely noticeable smirk formed on his face as he whispered in succession. "Time Warp" as he warped toward the gong he leaned down and touched his leg "Ripple Touch" he increased his attack speed of his leg and finally "Fractured Twist Kick. His body left the ground as he flipped expertly towards the gong striking the gong at a speed that the others could barely follow at their level. When the number above the gong finally stopped not even Thaleus could do anything but stand there and gawk at the board for a few seconds. "What the hell man?!" Surprisingly Kip was the first to speak up, he had been the only one to see Thaleus in full action, but he didn't realize the difference between them until now. "I-I-I don't know man I just stacked a few of my moves together to get as much damage as possible into one hit." The number 833 slowly faded off the board. The four friends sat down still full of disbelief. He was already hitting at the strength level of a year two student and they'd been there for two weeks. "Man, I don't even think Johnny could pack that much damage behind his punch yet" Derek mused.
