Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis jumped back and forth while the seed shot around his Spirit Space with unreal speed. Gravis had been hit quite a lot in the past couple of minutes. In the beginning, it hadn't been that hard to evade the seed, but as soon as Gravis started hitting it with more power, it became increasingly more difficult. The seed became nearly unavoidable as soon as Gravis started kicking instead of punching it.

Yet, Gravis had the time of his life right now. He realized that this was an incredible way of training his dodging. Since the seed was round, and Gravis constantly had to dodge it, he decided to call this training Dodge Ball. He thought that this was a fitting name for the training.

"Is everything alright?" Gravis heard the voice of Old Man Lightning reverberating throughout his Spirit Space. He guessed that this was how a sound transmission sounded while inside his own Spirit Space. Of course, that voice distracted him enough to get hit by the seed.

BZZZ!

The seed just released some lightning that entered Gravis' "body" and then halted. The seed was himself, so it obviously wouldn't injure him. Yet, he was a little bummed out that he couldn't break his record of consecutive dodges. After a sigh, Gravis left his Spirit Space.

In the physical world, Gravis opened his eyes and looked at Old Man Lightning. "Oh, everything's fine. I was just training."

WACK!

"And here I thought something went wrong," Old Man Lightning shouted with frustration. "After your breakthrough, you just remained silent, and I was worried that something went wrong. Instead, you immediately went back to training! Try to think of my position for once!"

Gravis rubbed his head, but he realized that he might have worried Old Man Lightning by being silent. "Yeah, sorry," Gravis said nonchalantly. "I was just really absorbed in training."

Old Man Lightning snorted. "What training? You just made a breakthrough, and you have to wait for your Realm to increase again. What could you possibly train while remaining still like a rock?"

Gravis smirked. "I call it Dodge Ball!" Gravis said proudly.

Old Man Lightning had confusion written on his face. "Dodge Ball?" he asked.

Gravis nodded. "Yes, Dodge Ball! I poked my Spirit Seed and noticed that it bounced off the membrane of-"

WACK! BOOM!

Gravis was hit pretty hard by the cane, and his body hit the wall, destroying some furniture. "Are you insane!?" Old Man Lightning shouted with anxiety and rage. "Do you know how fragile a Spirit Seed is? If it breaks, you will fall back into the initial stage of Spirit Forming!"
