-This is set before the Tournament-
Preparing himself for the day of training ahead. Instead of his usual Monk attire he wore long black pants, white boots and a dark brown training Gi. Azurai knew the next four days would get messy so he had taken it upon himself to buy the proper training gear required. Walking down the numerous long, quiet halls of the main building of the training ground Azurai looked out the almost too shiny and well-kept windows looking out towards the training grounds. The training grounds were a gigantic grassy field with enough equipment for an entire army. Warriors and Fighers and Soldiers of all different shapes and sizes occupied the training grounds. Sparring, sprinting, jogging, punching, kicking, meditating, focusing and more. If there was a specific way to train the body someone was out there doing it. It was amazing to Azurai that everyone was so peaceful and courteous towards each other when in only a short period of time they would all be fighting for the same title. The Centurial Conference definitely had the power to bring the best out of everyone.
Although it took him a few minutes Azurai made it to the training grounds. Feeling he needed more time to rest his body physically Azurai decided that for his first day of training he would spent his time improving on the abilities that he was currently lacking in. Azurai found one of the emptier spaces of the training ground and sat down. Azurai crossed his legs shifting the grass beneath him slightly while gently closing his eyes. Placing his left and right arm on his matching legs Azurai began to block out the sounds of the men and women training in the distance. Somehow when fighting Oguma Azurai had been able to feel his presence. It was as if Azurai could almost feel the Ki Energy of Oguma but not in specifics. And yet when meeting Akio Azurai couldn't feel anything special at all. Azurai felt that for the up-coming Tournament he should try and expand upon this ability. If Azurai could unlock the secret to sensing someone's Ki then maybe it would give him an advantage when fighting his future opponent's.
Azurai began by trying to focus on the closest fighter to Azurai training slightly off in to the distance. Azurai opened his eyes and looked at the man. After identifying everything unique about the man he closed his eyes and tried to re-create the man in a dark space. Azurai was only able to create a figure with slight similarities, like the man's nose, eyes etc, but it was good enough. While keeping the mental picture of this man in his mind Azurai began to slowly free his Ki energy from his body. Although his Ki was invisible from the outside Azurai could feel it spiraling everywhere as it tried to lock onto the man Azurai was envisioning in his mind. From the perspective of his Ki Azurai could feel it flow through the various warriors as it locked onto the man closest to him. While Azurai's Ki began to harmlessly through and around the man's body Azurai could see the mental picture of this man become more accurate in detail. Azurai watched the man in his mind as all of his slightest features came together like they were missing pieces of a puzzle.
With the image of the man complete in his mind Azurai next began to try and feel the movement's of the man he was focusing on. Azurai knew that in order to sense someones Ki Azurai needed to be able to trace them, or lock onto them, while they were moving otherwise Azurai's opponent's would need to stand in place for Azurai to be able to sense them. In the tournament this would be a very hard thing to do. Azurai repeated the same technique as before, using his Ki to reach out to the man, but this time began to focus on the man's movements. With the same mental image in his head Azurai watched as the man's movements began to slowly take place in his head. Each second the man would subtly and slowly take a different action and with each minute the pace of these actions increased until it had reached real-time. Now that Azurai was able to track the man's appearance and movements it was time for him to begin the proper part of this exercise. Ki Sensing.
With the image and movements of the man being fully traced in Azurai's mind Azurai decided to attempt to tap into the feelings and sensing he was able to feel in the presence of Oguma. Azurai began to remember the initial feeling of meeting Oguma. The Demon's dark presence was something which seemed to erupt from his person upon meeting him. Azurai remembered that upon meeting Oguma he felt as though his Ki was trying to reach out and identify the presence in front of him. Azurai decided to do allow his Ki to do this, but in this instance instead of his Ki trying to reach out he would force it to reach out. Azurai opened his mind to the surroundings around him allowing the background to fill the dark space inside his head. Now when closing his eyes Azurai could watch the man with the surrounding background giving his mind a scenario. Upon doing this Azurai put his attention to a small amount of his Ki. With this Ki Azurai would force it to reach out to the man's essence. From a first person perspective in Azurai's mind the Ki would slowly flow out and grab the man while it began to wrap around him, forcefully and intrusively identifying his presence. From the outside nothing like what was just being described was actually happening and the man wouldn't feel a thing. But on the inside Azurai was slowly feeling the man's presence and identifying his power. Azurai began to fill his mind with knowledge of the man's presence until something hit him.
Upon scanning the man with his Ki Azurai's eyes suddenly shot open and his mind began to fill with all sorts of different feelings, numbers and information. Azurai clutched his head still sitting down as he searched the area. When looking through walls he could feel the presence of those that wouldn't normally be able to be seen. When looking at those training in front of him he was able to identify each and every person specifically, as well as know just how strong they were. This was only something he was able to feel when he ran into Oguma, only this time the feeling was much more immense. The feeling was intense and it was something Azurai's body couldn't quite adjust to.
Azurai slowly got up with one hand still clutching onto his head. Azurai walked over to the training grounds, intending to pass through them, so that he could head back to his room. Azurai felt himself grow weaker and weaker as his Ki continued to leak out of his mind, scanning and identifying every person it came across. Stumbling through the training grounds, bumping into anyone in front of him and not being able to keep a clear picture of anything he looked at Azurai spent an entire hour trying to find his bed. Upon reaching his bed Azurai simply collapsed.
Azurai had managed to unlock an ability that lay dormant for 18 years but in doing this would have to spend the next few days facing what followed.

(Tried my best to describe learning how to sense Ki and add some sort of spin to it but it was hard considering it was never really properly explained in the manga >.>)
