Her hands clasped behind her the Kamehameha slowly charging she smiled toward Articho. The fact that he was not scrambling for cover meant that he was going to stand there and attempt to stop the attack. Which for her was a great thing. It showed that he would not shirk at the pressure should it get pressed onto him. So her charging attack reached exactly where she wanted it and she swung her hands forward pushing the Turtle Wave toward Articho. The attack should be a good test for the young mans own ability.
If he counter attacked the Kamehameha and managed to blow it away as he stated Ninjin would float down to the ground and drop from her Super Saiyan state with a swirl of golden energy. Exhaling as she stood there she brought up a hand to the side of her head as she let out a light laugh. “I hope that was not to intense for you ARticho. You wanted to get trained by me and to me the best method of training is to try and go after someone at their best. It is how I have driven Daiki and others I have trained. That was impressive as you managed to stand to the Kamehameha. Well obviously it was not my most powerful version but still it was impressive.”
Her pride showing through as she stood there with him. Rubbing the side of her neck before clapping her hands before her. “Right I was going to teach you that very maneuver. Now listen to me and mimic the maneuvers as best as I explain them. Now I know you know how to manipulate your ki which is great. As that will mean this will be a lot easier. Now clasp your hands together by placing the base of your palms together. Slowly focus your ki toward your palms. As you do try to project the ki into a swirling vortex just past your hands. Then move your hands back behind you and then really focus your ki into the swirling vortex. As you do you should feel it build in strength and then you will feel when it is right then bring your hands together back in front of you and release the pent up energy that you have built up in a single burst straight ahead.”
Her explanation of the Kamehameha was rather simple and she hoped it would help him understand the technique a little better. If not she would be willing to demonstrate the technique for him to watch once more. This time however without it being pointed at him.

Articho kept his hand raised, the energy in the green ki in his palm slowly rising in strength and matching her attack in power. His smirk was still on his face as he watched Ninjin launch her attack. "I like the blue," he called out before the large green drill formed in, then subsequently from his hand. Light flashed as the two beams connected and the younger hybrid squeezed his eyes shut to block out the bright light. He blinked a few times to clear the spots from his eyes after the energy dissipated. He had managed to keep the attack from pushing deeper into the ground. That was good.
Articho sat up from the him shaped hole and watched the Turtle Master descend to the ground. He smiled again, shaking his head as he did. "It was better training than anything I've ever done before," he said as he stood up. He dusted himself off and ran his fingers through his hair. Small clods of dirt and pebbles rolled down his back and some into the shirt of his dogi. Great. That would bother him until he went home. He ignored the annoying things in his shirt upon hearing the name of the attack. "Kamehameha?" the younger hybrid said slowly, making sure to get the pronunciation right. He listened to her explanation, nodding every once in a while to confirm he was paying attention. "I'll give it a shot," he said.
Articho followed her instructions as he faced the trees. He cupped his hands together as she had instructed and began focusing his ki into his palms. "Ka-me...,"the hybrid said. The blue ki energy formed in his hands. He drew his palms further back and his eyes narrowed in concentration. "Ha-me...," the energy in his palms was growing to near uncontrollable levels. In one swift motion, he thrust his hands forward while shouting "HAAAAA!" The blue beam exploded out from his hands, taking a out a small line of trees with it. He let the energy fade away and stood up straight. He turned back towards the Turtle Hermit and gave her a thumbs up. "Pretty sweet," Articho said with a grin.

She gave a smile toward her new pupil as he spoke about this being the best training he has ever received. Giving him a wave of her hand as she knew full well that this style of training was not for everyone in fact she found out that mostly saiyans enjoyed this style of training. Yet through all of it the people of the Turtle School never once complained about her training techniques. “Well it is good to know that you enjoyed the training. It makes it easier to know what you will think about the rest of the training sessions. As this is the most basic but I got that feeling that you will get this with some ease Articho. Your former master did a good job carving you from stone.”
Her words came out as she watched him begin to follow her instructions to the letter and movement. That was something she was going to have to talk to him about. The technique was to be something that you can create and have your own variation to the attack. Her eyes did not waver as he began to charge the attack and then fire it off and into space. As he spoke about ti being pretty sweet she smiled and looked over at him. “That it is Articho. But do not forget to use other techniques. You cannot rely solely on this attack or any other attack. Remember that as enemies can and will have defenses against your attacks. Be it physical shields, tougher bodies, or ki shields against us. That is why your trump card should be your drill technique. They will never suspect such an attack coming from you in such close quarters.”
She spoke and complimented her pupil. As the attack he had was truly a trump card that could be used in the future should Articho ever need it. Of that Ninjin was certain.

Articho smiled in amusement as Ninjin said "carving you from stone." It was a nice compliment to Master Yamado and was very fitting for the way his old master had trained him. All those years saying he hated rocks and now he couldn't be more fond of stone. "I like all training. Anything that can make me stronger is great. But the harder it is, the better," the younger hybrid said with a grin. "So don't hold back with me when we train, all right?"
Articho stared at his gloved hand for a few moments before curling it into a fist. His trump card. He didn't realize it was that special of a technique. Yamado had mostly used its base form as a way to drill through stone. Could it be used to push past his enemies defenses? That would be interesting to see and test out. He smiled a little as he thought of what Yamado would think when he told him that the Turtle Hermit herself thought of the drill. The old man would be absolutely ecstatic. "I guess that makes it my signature move, much like the Kamehameha is to you," he commented. "I suppose that means I need to make it more battle ready. My biggest problem before I developed the Heaven Piercer was its predecessor lacking the necessary strength to keep up with some of my opponent's techniques. Any thoughts on how I could increase its strength?"

Ninjin nodded toward him as he spoke about not wanting her to hold back on him. This was another smile inducing moment as all of her students had said that to her at one time or another. To her that meant that the student was willing to do whatever was necessary to protect the Earth. Now that she knew that ARticho had this drive within him there was little to hold her back when it came to training. “I will not treat you lightly Articho. My only thing is I want you to continue going out there and getting stronger when not around me. That is our mission. To become the best we can so we can defend the Earth.”
“Aye the Kamehameha is one of my signatures Articho. I have several attacks that are more personal to me as I learned them or developed them on my own. As for increasing its strength. Other than improving your own strength maybe making it so that this technique could be used on both hands at once. Or learn it to deflect kis blasts to the sides instead of attempting to just pierce things…” She spoke softly as she Turtle Hermit smirked at him. The whole truth was despite her talking tough her stomach was starting to grumble. Knowing how her stomach was she knew she had a short time of fighting left before she would get so hungry that she would not want to fight anymore. Reaching a hand up to the side of her head she let out a light chuckle as she looked at Articho.
“I say we have a number of minutes til I am hungry and will want to stop and eat. So how about you go full out of me using everything in your arsenal til then. If you last until I feel my stomach grumble in pain then I will call today over with. That sound fair to you?” Smirking as she spoke about her stomach pains as that was the truth. Smiling she turned to walk a few paces away from Articho. “Alright lets get moving…”

Articho grinned at Ninjin. It was almost like he was training with his old master again. Pushing him to and beyond his limits to accelerate his training. The young hybrid appreciated this, wanting to get as strong as possible as fast as possible, especially with Super Saiyan being a new level of strength in the not so far off distance. "Is there any other way to train?" he said with a smirk. "There's a lot of strong people out in the universe. I need all the strength I can get the fastest I could get it to keep up."
Articho nodded in response, crossing his arms. "More personal, huh? Give it time. I'll probably turn it into a drill, just like everything else I use," he said with another grin and a laugh. It slowly fell away as he got to thinking. "Or maybe I'll use my anger towards my father. My old master once told me that it can give me strength in some situations. Maybe I can focus it into something positive, like a stronger Kamehameha, rather than lose myself to it, you know?" He thought back to the fight with Jarvis again before pushing it away. She probably did get what he was saying. The Turtle Hermit definitely knew anger better than he did.
The younger hybrid laughed. Hunger was something he did understand and he expected that he would join Ninjin in getting some lunch when they finished. That's if Articho could still move when they had finished. "That's the only way I know how to fight. No holding back," he said, dropping into his own stance. He waited a few moments for her to get ready, then quickly charged towards her. He dashed around her leaving after images behind him as he moved before lunging towards her right side, his right fist aimed at her cheek. Only, it wasn't really Articho. The afterimage would quickly dissipate after "striking" her. The half Saiyan quickly reappeared on the Turtle Hermit's left, a side kick aimed at her stomach before jumping back away from her.

“If there is any other way to train I have yet to find it. Beating people up, fighting with training robots, or fighting against stationary targets all work. Yet I always feel the most at home out here punching trees and rocks.” She spoke smiling toward Articho. The more that she has spent time around the young man the more she has realized that she has enjoyed his former master’s attitude and pragmatic approach to everything. The current turtle master will most certainly have to go and speak with Articho’s former master and pick his brain as she was never adverse to learning new ways to train or to be trained in her own right.
She nodded toward him hearing him speak about anger towards his father. It was true that she knew full well the power with which anger could be used. For herself that anger was one of the things that helped create her Super Saiyan self. Allow her to blossom into the teacher that she was cause of her strength. “But be careful that that anger does not overwhelm and consume you. You do not wish to make that to be your only life goal Articho. As I knew someone who that was their entire life. No matter what I did to try and help them they where angry all the time. Anger drove them to nearly commiting horrendous acts. You do not wish to be remembered for such acts. So please remember to use the Rage as a fuel at a time. As there are moments that the rage will be beneficial.”
She had hoped to not speak in circles with ARticho but she felt that she had as she spoke about rage. Her words slipping away into the winds as the spar begun once more. Watching his movements until the very last second when he vanished from sight and she felt a side kick land on her stomach. It did not double her over as it would of most opponents, but it did move her along on the ground as she skidded to a stop about ten feet back. “Nice use of the afterimage technique. It is my turn though.”
She spoke out naught an ounce of malice on her voice as she was enjoying herself and Articho was another of the pupils she has to push and create another grand fighter for the universe.

"If I recall correctly, my old master said it was most beneficial to practice on trees and rocks," Articho said. He scratched his head as he tried to remember what Yamado had said. It was something he had forgotten, though the habit he had been taught stayed with him. "Not for the sake of training, but for the sake of others and ourselves. Smashing the rocks and trees can be a good, healthy release of anger. He also said it was a way to train unrestrained without hurting others. Rocks and trees will always come back, but bodies take longer to heal and can be permanently damaged." The younger hybrid looked back at Ninjin with a smile. "I get the feeling you and my old master would get along really well. You should expect a little bit of fanfare on his part, though. He has high respect of the Turtle School."
Articho nodded, his face serious. "I'll do my best to keep it under control," he said, more reassuring himself than the Turtle Hernit. "I've had a moment of no control before. I felt horrible afterward. I hurt my opponent really badly and I felt no restraint when I was fighting him." He hung his head, still ashamed of his loss of self control against Jarvis. It had been a good while since then, but it still haunted him and Jarvis hadn't even died from it. He kept silent for a few moments before looking back at Ninjin. His expression hardened again. "Beating my father isn't my only goal. My mother is the world to me and I do what I can to keep her safe and happy," he said, pausing after he did. "Which... includes not being angry at my father..." He grumbled to himself for a few moments after.
The young hybrid grinned after landing his blow, his gloved fists raised. "By all means," he said with a cheeky grin, "bring it on!"
