Climb to the Top! A Trek for Tea and Adventure!? [Ayumu]

Ayumu would carefully start approuching the nearby vacinity, his body slowly tensing up as he felt the cold air of the morning as the sun had been shining all too strongly in the morning, nothing seemingly coming across as something normal.
It was that heatwave that people talked about when the temperature of the world started to rise, maybe something to fix with the concept of magic and ki that people had to themselves.
No, Ayumu couldn't help but bring himself to his own knees as he realized the futility of his own purpose at this point, there was no way that the power he had at this point, the power of a man that was practicing day in and out on how to improve was enough as the cries of small animals in the vacinity fueled him with determination as he saw the old tower that was kept seperate in contrast to the old times where houses were almost build straight next to it.
With the increase in people who would challenge themselves to climb the tower and make it their way to the top, it wouldn't be too uncommon for them to fall down and crush ceilings and innocent bystanders.

"Hey! Namorel!" Ayumu would call outwards, trying to see if there was a person in the near vacinity that would be able to give him a reaction, especially hoping that as usual he would be rather hardworking and there in time.
Atleast enough in time to not be the last one to arrive, Ayumu making his way to the slowly aging tower as his goal was to reach the top atleast in a few days or maybe less.
Legends foretold that reaching the tower would reach weeks of travelling, even months of you didn't possess the power of flight.
Yet it wasn't training if you just made your way upwards with the use of a technique called flight right?

"Namorel, if you could come over here, it will start to be a little training moment.
Our plan today will be to train our legs and to learn how to manipulate our own center of gravity with the energy that we have been given, you know the energy that i am talking about right?" Knowing all too well that if he was here, Namorel had to be here at this point too, he didn't need to see him, although if he would arrive, he would happily reach out a hand towards the namekian.
"So, Place your feet at the base and let us start walking upwards, because i have called in a few hands of assistance for when we get up a bit higher, so do not let yourself drop down from this amazing height.
We can't let ourselves strike the ground and end up getting completely torn to shreds and devastated.
That just wouldn't make do with the amount of pride i have in my friends, especially with that little piece i had given towards you in my endless trust towards you."

As Ayumu saw that the namekian showed his pride, his determination and his energetic prowess that would knock him far into the future, it wasn't uncommon for Ayumu to smile when he was near the people he called his own little students, his friends and even family if he got all too close.
Yet it couldn't be stopped as he simply started to walk up the wall of the tower, clinging with the tips of his toes as he simply kept walking upwards, knowing full well what he was planning to do, his balance was great, but the way that his back tensed and his spine cracked a few times as he got into the pace making his way upwards.
It showed that Ayumu didn't spend his time training in strength, but in finesse. "So, Today i am here to talk to you about a few little issues that have been occuring at this tower and why i am in need of some assistance while climbing this tower.
So people have been proclaiming that they are the rightfull rulers of the skies, the tower and the ancient heritage of this tower.
People who are stealing the bricks." As he stepped over a gap where a few of the bricks that once decorated this beautifull tower had been removed for a few buildings that were located at the bottom.
Yet nobody dared to remove too many bricks as it would bring this entire thing down to the ground and cause damage untold to many generations of history.

"We have a small collection of beasts that will be coming at us when we get a little bit higher, but above all, i am wondering what had been happening in your history.
You know what i am talking about right? You came along on the ship, yet we haven't seen some of the other people that we met up with in our past, although i must admit i found a cute little hybrid that was a fan of my books!" Laughing about the concept that a few people still read his books, even after all this time without him giving them a full selection of copies from his books.
Yet the thing that he was hoping to hear the most was if there was a source of information regarding the planet of Namek itself, he had a few sources that kept sending him little things, but nothing more.
Especially in the state of degeneration that affected the many races of the planets in space and beyond.
Yet with the cool wind that had been blowing through the body of Ayumu, he couldn't help but feel that he needed to really get his body going and keep that tensing body strength of his up to snuff!
Casually walking up the tower wall, hoping that Namorel would stick to his pace so that he wouldn't tire himself out by rushing upwards at a near instant pace before burning out.
Truely a rather calming stroll if he had to decide himself.

"Well, You would normally be able to protect most people, as i would be expecting all that from you with ease." Ayumu agreed on the strength of the namekian, yet he wasn't so sure that he could be doing all that with what he was planning to do, turning a bit to the side as he walked towards the namekian and bound a small creature that he had hidden in his shirt towards the man his torso. "That is a mixture of man and snake, a defunct zoan so to say, but with how this one grows based on the amount of energy she is supposed to get, i have noticed that she was laying sick to the side of the road." Ayumu admitted.

Letting everything sink in, the man would then start to make his way upwards once again as he then slowly squinted his eyes, knowing full well that everything that he was doing was a bit silly to say the least.
Going up the tower to cure a mutated zoan that was half human and half snake, it wasn't uncommon to say the least but was it required? Nay. "The mother would be quite glad if you could keep her from getting damaged but i cannot afford to forsake the amount of training this would give you." The small snake humanoid starting to take a few soft breaths in pained agony, the question then coming up... Why would the snake even be dragged up to this tower and make its way to the top?

"There is a small bean that is grown by the keeper of this tower, we are here to see if we can find one at the very top, so we can help recover this little creature and then bring her back to her mother. I hope you do not mind this." Ayumu spoke as he then manifested a small spherical ball of magic, compressing it and forming a ray of light that struck into the distance as the clouds above that had been gathering broke apart, a large collection of men that were clinging to the tower with black cloaked wings and small bodies.

"And it seems that we got some hungry visitors too! Maybe it is time for you to show me how you can fight alongside a wounded target against... " Counting them quickly as he struck them each with a small laser pointer of energy, blinding them temporarily to buy Namorel some extra time. "It seems to be nineteen."

Laughing, Ayumu was glad that he brought this forwards as it was supposed to, manifesting a brick with his magic materialization as he would have it appear on the bottom of his feet as he stepped on it between the tower and the man his heel, gripping it with his feet as it slowly cracked with a burst of energy. "You see, Namorel, Fighting is done in steps~!"

It was at this point that Ayumu suddenly rocketed upwards with his energy, his muscles starting to swell slightly as he had veins appear on his body before then using his leg, foot still holding onto the brick to kick the object upwards into one of the imps that was struck square into the stomach and unable to breathe.
His powerlevel having risen to a mighty 5,000 as he would then start to walk forwards more, realizing that he was completely right on wanting to hurry it up. "Yeah, normally we would hurry up further, but we can't go too fast, that would harm the little body and cause damage towards the creature... What did they call them again in the old legends of men? Lamia? Yeah. That works fine."
Walking further up the tower as his powerlevel had risen, granting himself a moment to breathe as he then jumped to the right, away from Namorel as he would be forced to deal with five imps that had taken the initiative to dive downwards.
Attempting to strike the person while he had an opening in their eyes, the little claws that they had on their hands extending slowly as they used gravity and the initial burst to strike at whatever barrier or defense this man would set up, one imp using this advantage to slip behind the five, bringing the total up to six as he would miss the drop by a long shot having used the other five as cover.
Throwing a small javelin towards the small figure that was being held by Namorel!

Ayumu himself simply jumped away from namorel, standing a bit more straight forwards as he drove his feet into the wall, stretching casually as he took a look upwards at the imps that were not willing to move at this point anymore.
From a small group of people that was trying to seem intimidating, he wasn't really feeling it at this point, the mooks, the remaining eight simply holding their small daggers, natural claws and spears. "Good little buddies, keep waiting patiently, otherwise the monster will bite~" he spoke proclaiming carefully.
Knowing that the one thing that was most important in carrying at this point was the kid and the medicine materials he had been carrying. "Oy, Namorel! Finish those near you off then make your way up here!" Ayumu proclaimed

As he would steady the hammock, the spears and attacks having failed and some of them having passed out from the amount of strength that was shown, it didn't take long for them to be able to move past them as some of them thought about chasing them for some easy meat, but they didn't.
Instead there was a long moment of silence as Ayumu just climbed upwards with his power starting to lower back to a fourth of what he was once again, feeling that this bulking power was just another risk that he couldn't help but feel every time that the situation got dire.

"They are trying to settle in this tower to attack the nearby villages, we are only coming up here to help the ones that were attacked by the village raids of these annoying buggers."

Letting it sink in, Ayumu would soon start his conversational piece towards Namorel. "It is their tradition of settling in one location and attacking and protecting, but with a chance it seemed that they hinged their bets on sticking to their old traditions.
Something that cost them dearly in the long run as you have noticed, they are starving weak little creatures trying to get food by attacking us."

Having turned the situation around, Ayumu explained that on this little battle the imps were on the wrong side from their end, but at their end they were just trying to get some food, which was a shame to say the least but in this point he couldn't afford to help them in the least, they had to keep climbing and find themselves to be stronger and stronger.

"Do you happen to have a goal as we climb this tower at a bit of a faster speed?" he would proclaim, hinting at the namekian to speed up his climbing slightly so that they wouldn't let the little kid stay hurt for as long as it would be to climb this tower at a brisk pace.

Ayumu knew that Namorel wasn't one to keep waiting forever for an answer and especially when he had asked it such a while ago, so he tried to explain it in the most sensible motion that he could as he found a little entrance to the tower where he could sit inside on a few broken rocks together with the other namekian. "We are only five percent up there."

That comment was a hammer that could crush spirits as he would take this moment of allowing him to get inside and look at the small collection of bowls and herbs that he had been carrying around.
Medical herbs, Ki herbs, there was a large collection of herbs that he had been carrying around just in the case that something would happen where he would need them, and in this case? He did.

"Namorel, i am going to explain this just a single time, but i am going to need you to rub a few salves onto the body of the snake, especially because we are going to be needing to pick up the pace if we want to reach the top before she dies out.
So i am making a custom little salve that should reduce the pain." as he had a sickly green paste that caused Ayumu his skin to slowly turn red as he gritted his teeth. "Be carefull, it stings upon contact with even bare skin and you are going to need to get it really in there."

WC: 251

As the little Lamia let out a few cries of agony and had the body convulse, it didn't take long for the creature to pass out as the man would tap Namorel on the shoulder before then starting to climb like a normal person would, at this point preparing to get anything he could done.
He wanted to rush upwards and scale the top of the tower at a near instant pace, but that would be impossible, they just had to pick up the speeds and get everything set and done at a pace that wasn't too lethal.

"Namorel, it is time for us to set this up as a sprint, i hope you are able to jump yourself ahead with elastic mumbo jumbo tricks, because everything is depending on us getting to the top as quickly as possible." Ayumu proclaimed as he had his body creak upon digging his nails into the wall and barely pocketing all of his tools that he put in the little alcove that was made due to natural damage.
Yet as he would continue upwards, there was one looming feeling that started to become more apparant, a powerlevel that wasn't like the imps that came before, instead the powerlevel was something much more intense.
Stronger? Maybe more dangerous?

It didn't take long for the two of them carrying the weak child to see what was going on as the man called Ayumu then spoke "Hand me the kid, i will climb to the side and ahead, but i think that this creature is out to destroy you." A man lizard, one with small, stubby wings that was clinging to the side of the tower and glaring downwards.
There was just one look in its eyes, a murderious intent as it wanted your body.
This lizard person was prepared for battle and it wasn't going to say no to it.
