37 chapter 37

It has been nine years since Tenlong had first left the cave dwelling of Master J and returned back to the village of Mary and Jimmy Jr. He had spent over eight hundred years training with the underground Master. The lad had spent fifty to sixty hours a week times times one hundred times training. He was now ten foot foot tall and one thousand pounds, while under four percent body fat.

Jimmy Jr had grown into a young adult and the man wanted to become a hunter like his father and Tenlong. He had blacked lot of his memories of his father but he had always remembered the stories told about him by many different people in the village. He wanted to help his village like his father and Tenlong had done. The young Giganto was such a talented hunter that he only had to hunt once a month or there would be no wildlife left. The young warrior had shared a lot of combat knowledge with Jimmy and the other hunters in the village. He brought up the skills of anyone who wanted to learn.

Mary had spent time towards the raising her two boys but spend no time towards the building of another romantic relationship, like she had once had with her dead husband. Grimwald had tried to set up the young mother many a time but the woman had still had her heart on Jimmy Sr. But, she had no desire to seek anybody else for companionship.

Tenlong had gotten some more education during the last nine years and completed two PhD's: one in Psychology and the other in Kinesiology. Psychology was the study of the mind while the other was based on the study of bodily movement. Tenlong was surprise about how smart his teacher was truly was. Master J was hundreds of years old that much Tenlong knew to be the truth.

Tenlong had managed to get stronger over the last nine years under the watchful eye of master J. But something begun to eat at him almost daily.

That was the death of his mother, Zizi, by some unknown bandit. The boy wanted revenge for

his mother. He had many nightmares about his mother's death and the lad was suffering from PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Mary and the rest of the villagers helped the young man with his troubles. Tenlong never wanted pity from others and he just wanted to continue on with his life. The village all prayed that the Lord would he could conquer this burden.

Tenlong wanted to rid the land of Lowroda of all bandits that hurt others for their own gain. The boy saw the bandit that killed his mom and others at the same level of other pest such as mice. He wanted to protect the village and all those he could help, beside his extended family.

Master J spoke one day to the lad,"I know that you are angry but you are still green. I need to only fight when you are in the shape to do so. Once you can properly defend yourself and only then you are allowed to fight."

Finally one day, Master J spoke,"You have completed your training, my fellow Gigantos and you have my blessing to fight who you may."

Tenlong was shocked by what he had just heard.

The old man spoke,"I will soon be leaving this land and I will not see you for some time. Fighting is within our blood but do not let it control your life as it did to me. Warring to be the strongest is not wrong within itself but it can cause you to do things you will regret. This desire to be the strongest is a strong pillar to establish one's fighting style and motivation to battle on. You must not forget that you are fighting for the sake of others. That will be your second pillar of power as a fighter. We Gigantos are empowered by many different motivations to get stronger. The more reasons you have the easier it is for our kind to get stronger."

Tenlong spoke,"Thank you, Master J for all the help with my training."

Master J spoke,"You are welcome and I will not see you again until you are ready to go to the next level. Bye!"

Master J vanished into thin air as Tenlong saw that he was now out in the woods near the man's

home. The lad tried to find his teacher but he knew he was doing it vain. So he return back to his home outside his village.

Tenlong looked like he had lost his best friend when he enter his home.

Mary asked,"What is wrong, my boy?"

Tenlong looked up at his adoptive mother and spoke,"Well Mom, my teacher said that he was going to leave Lowroda."

The mother felt relieved that this mysterious Master J would not be a major influence on her son's life. She wanted Tenlong to stay in the village like her fallen husband had done before his death.

The boy frowned while he searched for the words to say.

Tenlong then spoke,"Mom, I want to avenge my birth mother's death!"

Mary dropped what she was doing and ran to the lad. She held his massive torso in her slender arms.

Tenlong's eyes begun to water and landed on his mother.

She spoke,"It is okay, baby!"

Tenlong spoke,"No, it is not alright! I have the ability to change the future of this land! Others must not suffer as my Mom had suffered. I can't stop the violence from continuing on any further!"
