Chapter 3 - And the wind blows

An hour after the incident, I was at one of the reaper's bases with Rose and reaper Shohei.

This place is pretty cool and enormous Sachiko-Chan. Are all the reapers' bases packed like this!?

No, Takyio, this one is mostly used and more popular. Not that many bases exist, though there are about 39, and most of them are less packed and small, and not on the radar much with us reapers and everyone else.

Shohei you said you know a guy who could help with what I'm experiencing. Is he really here Takyio asked with a serious look on his face.

Yeah Tai he's the guy right in front of you sitting down reading that shonen manga.

You mean this guy he looks like he's asleep.

Hey, Asuka-kun wake up could you meet these two? 

Shohei? Can't you see I'm reading manga? Are these two individuals similar to the main characters in shonen manga or just losers who are just extras?

That I'm not so sure but we came all the way to see you it's these two right beside me.

"Uh hey, Asuka my name's Taki," he said quietly, "and my name's Rose."

"I have never seen you or heard of you before but I'm hoping you can help my friend" Rose said softly.

Yeah, I could. Tell me what the problem is. 

Well just about a day or two ago I was in an accident.

And so I told Asuka about everything that's happened including my meeting with Rose.

Asuka looked at me for three minutes before finally speaking. Man that sounds pretty rough and you're not the first person to experience something like this after an unfortunate accident or event.

What you're experiencing is nothing short of a revelation of your technique caused by pretty much anything like physical or mental damage in your case it's probably both from getting hit by a car and being left in a coma for three days.

Hold on what exactly is a technique Takiyo asked out of complete curiosity, wanting to fully understand his situation.

Hmm, I would have thought your companion would have at least explained this much to you already since she has family who are reapers and even are in the world of entities who use techquines.

"I explain in a way you can understand Takyio. Every living being has a thread, centered deep in the depths of their soul; its shape and what it offers vary depending on that Living thing, individual traits, characteristics, and certain experiences in life. In short, it gives you supernatural/ abnormal abilities beyond anyone's wildest imagination. That is what we call a technique." And for the things you've been seeing it may have to do with genetics or you're just cursed."

"What curse!?.""I'm kidding maybe I think it's something deep inside you that you're fighting plus I want to say your genes may play a huge role in this."

So Anymore questions?

"No I think I get the gist of it," Takyio said placidly.

For now, that's all you need to know. Cough cough ahem alright kids I want to take you three to the abundant forest for some mental and physical training starting tomorrow early afternoon!

Hold on a second you surely don't mean me too right?" Shohei said in a bewildered tone. 

Well your already here with them and you were once my disciple wouldn't hurt to rehearse being my student once again," 

"Ugh fine."

This boy there's something odd about him something I can't just wrap around my head Asuka thought deeply to himself.

Damn, this is a lot to take in Taykio thought to himself. Something deep down inside my heart that I'm keeping locked like what though I would have noticed if there was anything wrong with me.

"Taki is everything alright?" You've been spacing out for the last four minutes."

Huh yeah, Rose I'm good just still new to all of this it's truly bizarre im still shocked that you're just not an ordinary girl Taki said with a smile.

"And I can't believe you were always an ordinary boy." 

Takyio your going to be alright with us and the reapers by your side nothing can go wrong you can count on it!"

With them meeting Asuka what awaits everyone later in the future is still unknown and could even be unfathomable.
