Chapter 23: To Myself

........

In heavens arena, the battle room of the 227th floor was as full by the audience as always.

Though disappointed looks could be noticed all over the audience as they're looking at the stage yet none seem to utter a word of complaint as silence enveloped the whole room.

On the stage, a black-haired young boy could be seen standing there along with a look of boredom on his face though an air of chilliness surrounds him, a chilliness that extended its clutches to the whole room.

"IT SEEMS THAT YASUO WON AGAIN BY WITHDRAWAL COMPLETING TEN VICTORIES IN A ROW GRANTING HIM THE CHANCE TO CHALLENGE A FLOOR MASTER!!!!"

The young boy is none other than me as I paid no further attention to the commentator and turned around leaving.

It's been six months, a fruitful yet disappointing six months, disappointing since all the three last matches I won by withdrawal.

I was really looking forward to more strong test subjects and I was planning on letting off some steam on them but I guess my reputation precedes me.

Anyway considering my last stepback which I took to heart, It'll only make sense for me to push myself even more.

And I did just that as the six months ended up being the most painful and annoying months of my life even compared to the training at home and while the pain didn't faze me at all, I still felt it clearly.

In fact, I felt it clearer than ever which is the effect of my extreme concentration for the past six months.

I reached my house, closed the door then stood in the room, I brought my right hand to cover my face as I thought back on the past months.

I asked my father to send me new weighted clothing reaching about 10 tons and pushed my speed much higher than It was at the cost of several continuous sleepless nights, at the cost of rarely ever sleeping for the past months, and that put a heavy burden on my mind.

Even worse, I felt like food which is something I love and enjoy, I felt like it became a waste of time and since I asked my father to send me more lethal doses of poison, I was in constant pain as whenever I get used to it, I increase the lethality.

I spent most of the day in the forest pushing my En further and doing the usual Netero exercise in my style.

As I make my hands sharper I used 'Ko' on one of them then strike in front of me, I then use 'Ko' on the other hand and do the same until I fully expend my Aura pool. Then I enter Zetsu and continue until I regenerate my Aura then use 'Ko' again.

It took a while but eventually, Yasuo finished the feast leaving a satisfied smile on his face before he went back to his house directly to drift into the land of dreams.

......

I slept for three days straight only to wake up feeling better than ever, I had my morning coffee, slowly enjoying every moment and every sip with a smile adorning my pale face.

I closed my eyes after I sitting down in a meditative position, sometimes you just have to relax, enjoy yourself some more then answers come naturally, it's really not that hard to get what I want.

My determination just wasn't enough, of course, it's not that easy since it's not equivalent exchange if I'm the one in need.

That's why I decided to give up ever being able to use emission and transmutation which amount to 140% much higher than the needed 60% in enhancement, but that's still not instrumental enough to me so I just need more.

Perhaps it's not about trading something for something else, it's about proving how far I'm willing to go. Nen is an extension of one's will so it's about me.

I'm not that interested in emission but transmutation is too useful for me so I thought that'd be enough.

This is a vow that I planned to make anyway though for something else but I guess I have to do it now.

I was just hesitating because after making the vow, there will be no chance of return or going back on it.

I'm not interested in learning from my mistakes, I want to predict these mistakes and eliminate them so this Vow is necessary.

To reach a height none other can reach, one needs to make sacrifices. I don't want to make any sacrifice that will affect my emotions negatively, nothing tangible.

What I want is a possibility, if something were to happen, there will be a corresponding outcome. Just like the rule of for every action, there is a reaction.

I need to prove my determination to myself.

A strange atmosphere enveloped the house as I started what I wanted to do.

My Willpower is proven...

My emotion is my desire, and I desire a 100% compatibility in enhancement...

My determination is what I need to prove and the following Vow shall prove it shaping my future with it, 'I Vow...'
