Grunt spent a few days exploring around Earth, he had most of the continents and the maps somewhat memorized now for future reference, he felt bored from the exploring however and felt a need for battle, so he decided to go back to the old man that trained him the other day, the one who also taught him how to fly. He was already en route to the forest where the old man lived, from what he remembered it was a pretty peaceful spot with tents all around and a campfire in the middle like any other camp, but he couldn't remember the exact location.
He flew down to the ground and started searching through the forest on foot for the old man, he searched all around until a surprise attack from behind got Grunt sent flying, he got back up and got agitated, "Stop doing that, seriously." the old man chuckled, saying "Can you blame an old man like me? nothing exciting to do around here anymore, besides, don't you heal back up fast enough or something?" Grunt was still pissed off but it was true, his wounds healed faster then the average alien or person because of his Namekian cells.
"Yeah, but that doesn't make me a punching bag for your entertainment." the old man laughed again, then saying "So I suppose you didn't come here for a social visit, more training I suppose?" Grunt nodded, the old man then started to walk around Grunt, "Well, do you know how I managed to sneak on you?" Grunt shaked his head in disagreement, "I see, it's commonly referred to as just "sensing" people, it's called Ki Sensing, feeling the energy of those around you, I even heard of people who could sense energies all the way into space, but I never saw it for myself." Grunt got a bit impatient "Can we just learn it please?" the Old man stopped walking around for a second, then holding his hand on his chin.
"It's hard to just "teach" it, it's like trying to describe sight to a blind person, I'd suggest meditating, try and feel the life around you. If you fail, you aren't meant for Ki Sensing. I can't give anymore advice other then that." Grunt went straight into it, he sat down immediately and tried to feel... anything around him. "I guess I can give you this advice, don't force it. It just naturally comes, and you won't master this easily even if you do somehow learn it, take your time, be relaxed and we'll see if the ability comes to you." the old man's footsteps can be heard from a longer and longer distance until there's no footsteps, Grunt was completely left alone for his lesson.
Grunt took the old man's advice and tried to be more relaxed about his meditation, to open himself up to anything at all, to just feel any energy but he feels empty, like nothing is nearby at all. He grew tired of this attempted exercise until he decided to try a trick, he can charge up energy to form a ki blast or a ki beam, what if he used that as a source to attempt to "feel" his own energy? he charged up a small ki blast but slightly letting it into the air to float around a bit. He sat back into meditation and he could feel his energy. It seems Grunt managed to achieve some form of sensing, but he wasn't satisfied. He could only sense HIS energy, what if he were to attempt to try and sense the old man?
He kept himself into a meditation stance, once he could hear the footsteps of the old man approaching he tried to sense his energy, but to no avail. He opened his eyes and asked the old man "Why can't I sense you?" the old man showed a surprised look, "Got it figured it out hmm? I guess you must have some form of sensing, but you just can't feel everything around you as well as others. That's still good progress though, how about I power up just to confirm that you can actually sense others?" Grunt nodded, and soon enough a powerful aura was developed around the old man, Grunt closed his eyes once more and he could feel the old man's power. However, in a few seconds he couldn't feel it anymore for some reason, when he opened his eyes he could see the old man's aura was gone.
"What? what happened to your power? I can't sense it anymore." the old man said "That's a lesson for another time, I'd like to congratulate you for achieving ki sensing, you're still a complete rookie at it but I'm sure it'll develop over time. Want to return to my camp for a meal and some rest?" Grunt nodded, he stood up from his meditation stance and walked with the old man back to the tent, Grunt planned to do some ki sensing training later on to try and get used to it.
