REBORN IN THE CRYSIS NANO-SUIT

Chapter 4: Learning how to fight



"So you can teach me how to fight? Well, let's start now. I don't want to end up in that sorry state again." I said, a little excited.

[Affirmative... I can send then stimulate the techniques to your nerves to increase your muscle memory. While also sending the techniques directly to your brain for easier practice...]

"Ok, then you may do so now." I commanded.

Then, immediately, an enormous amount of information ran through my mind. But not only that, my muscles as well. No, my entire being felt, jittery...

I had received numerous martial arts from the military, such as Jujutsu, Eskrima, Aikido, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Boxing, Judo, CQC, Systema and Wushu...

"Incredible... I-I know, everything..." I stated, amazed at the things I saw.

[I can also run a mental projection in front of you, of yourself to follow effectively, given your physique, host... Do you wish to activate it?]

"Hmmm... sure, use 'wushu' first." I asked.

The suit immediately conjured a mental projection in front of me. It seemed to be already in a stance as well. I was amazed by all this, still not used to the things the suit could do...

But without further ado. I started practicing on the spot. I commenced each move in front of me. Each time I replicated the stance it was in, it moved on to another, then continued until it was finished.

With limitless stamina at my disposal, the efficiency of my training was unparalleled, and my enhanced muscular atrophy and nerves being so acute, I was getting down the stances quickly.

And after 30 minutes of distinct movements, I was finished with wushu.

"I'm finally done, and I actually feel far more confident in myself than before." I stated.

[Good, now we repeat until you can commence the moves with twice your speed. The simulation will be conducted again and will now be twice as fast...]

Hearing this caught me off guard.

"Wait a minute suit, I get that I'm strong, but cutting that time in half is a bit extreme." I said.

[Stop underestimating your own capabilities, host. You just did multiple movements that would take years, if not decades, to achieve in thirty minutes. However, those movements can't be done in 30 minutes alone... We need you to be faster...]

I stood silently, digesting what I had heard. Truthfully, I felt as if the suit was complimenting and reprimanding me at the same time, given how it spoke... it was definitely right. I could perform these moves perfectly... I just needed efficiency.

"You're right, suit... Start the simulation again." I asked.

[Affirmative...]

We ran through the simulation once more, and to my surprise, I was keeping up fairly well... a bit too well. I didn't feel like a person; I felt like I was half machine...

Not only did I do the movements perfectly, I did it within 15 minutes this time. To say I was amazed would be an understatement. This was a powerful asset to have...

"Suit. I want to do it again, run the simulation." I asked. Excited.

We not only continued practicing, we did it for the next hour straight. Halving my time with every run we went through...

"One last time..." I stated, breathing in...

In fraction of a fraction of a second. I completed all moves seemingly instantly, even creating after images, too...

Then, I breathed out...

My body felt so fine tuned already... it was exotic, if I could put the feeling into words.

I felt as if I had reached the point of using the moves with pure instinct alone...

[Do you wish to move on host?...]

"Yes... start with kick-boxing next." I asked.

[Affirmative, commencing...]

This time, the stances weren't as many. So it would take less time to complete this one.

I started the sequence all over again, but this time. It was as if I had an epiphany... I couldn't explain it...

"Did I... just do all of that?" I asked unbelievably. I looked down, staring at my own hands...

Not only did I complete the stance essentially instantly, I did it with the same efficiency as with wushu.

[Why are you so surprised, host? This result is to be expected...]

I lifted my eyebrow within my suit.

"What? I just mastered all those moves in an instant. That isn't to be expected." I stated. Genuinely serious.

[Since you are most likely unaware, host. Your hippocampus has just strengthened to a point where this is simply too easy. That part of your brain is mainly for learning and memory. And as of now, your hippocampus is approximately 43.34 times denser than a normal human's own, not even factoring how fast you can comprehend things... It was the reason why you understood Wushu in a mere 1:30 minutes... Your hippocampus was growing while you were practicing...]

"I see... That's awesome! In a sense, I can be considered a martial arts prodigy of sorts, instantly comprehending techniques with a glance." I stated excitedly.

[... Not really host, hypothetically it is possible, but as of right now, your hippocampus needs to be 5 times greater than it is now to do so instantaneously. You still had to practice the moves to master them...]

'Way to humble me respectfully...' I thought, but understanding the suit's explanation.

"Well... since I have nothing better to do. I might as well complete all the martial arts left. It shouldn't take me more than a couple of minutes, given my ability to learn things." I stated.

[Which martial arts should we do next host?...]

I smirked.

"I want systema next."
