Chapter 6: Learning a new way to fight

Akram told us that Abdul Wahab was the one who taught people about fighting in their region. So Wahab was the one who would teach us the basics.

They also said that they didn't have time as they were scheduled to go check on other regions and see if anything was wrong there. Meaning we only had 2 days to learn from them which were Saturday and Sunday.

They taught us many fruitful things and without realizing, 2 days flashed by.

We still hadn't completed the basics and wanted to know more but they said, "We have to go, You should figure out the rest yourselves. You have 6 months to decide on a Malik alright?"

Adeel at the time asked furiously, "Wait! isn't this unfair to our region? What if we are the only ones who don't have Malik!? There is a high chance someone might do something here... and we are not even taught the fighting basics to their fullest! How are we supposed to defend ourselves!?"

"That is not our problem." was the reply to his answer.

In the past 2 days we were taught this:

...

Wahab: "First, I am going to tell you that there are many ways to use Dark Matter but all of them originate from our hands.

What I mean is anything that doesn't require Direct Hand Force to be executed cannot be done by Dark Matter. Such as, Pistols, Shotguns, MachineGuns, and the like.

For example, in Pistols, you have no real contact with the bullet so you can't apply your actual force on it. Since you can't apply the actual force on it, you can't apply the propertizer on it either.

So, the bullet would move in its original dedicated speed and give the required output of power.

On the other hand if I were to use Archery, It would work spectacularly and with even more power than a pistols' bullet.

Why? Cause in Archery, you are in direct contact with both the bow and the arrow. Thus, applying actual force and the propertizer on both."

And the major part was...

Wahab: "Now, at first, to practice your mastery over Dark Matter, such as how fast you use the propertizer to execute a Dark Matter related skill, you use real physical objects such as a sword and coat Dark Matter over it and use it for combat and training.

Coating with Dark Matter enhances a physical objects' Durability, Power, and Speed.

But at Advanced combat level, we use sole Dark Matter for combat and create objects for combat such as a sword from it because it gives more diversity in our attacks.

Now, on to the topic of Propertizer.

You see, learning how to accept Propertizer into your body and using it to change a single property of Dark Matter does not make Dark Matter usable for reality.

Dark matter has to be converted into one of these for use: Air, Land, Fire, Water.

No, we are not living in the Ancient Greek Era or something like that. I meant it has to be converted to something related to this. Be it a compound or a element.

I know Fire is counted as air but its impact is so different from Air that it has to be counted as another field.

Now, people usually learn to convert Dark Matter in all forms. Then as time goes by, they suit themselves to a field, master it and then if wanted, combine it with other fields to create new techniques.

Another thing to know is when you convert Dark Matter into either of the 4, it is always black. So it can be called Dark Lightning, Dark Air, Dark Fire and Dark Water too."

This was the theoretical part. The practical part was...

Wahab: "To use Propertizer, you have to accept it in your body. Now, the way to.. accept Propertizer in your body is.. very weird.

Even we don't know why it is like that but... It is what it is.

Don't think this is some kind of bull-sh*t alright?

So... The way to learn to accept Propertizer in your body is... to see a certain group of Propertizer continuously without blinking for a straight 5 minutes. It should be the same group of Propertizer that is lurking around.

By a group of Propertizer, It is like (points to a propertizer lurking around) this. This is a group of Propertizer. (Points to another propertizer lurking around) That is another group of Propertizer.

Meaning if you even shift your focus from that certain group of Propertizer for a second.. The 5 minute timer will restart.

And you will have to do it again.

Same with the blinking. If you blink, the 5 minute timer will restart.

The good thing is when you have accomplished this, you won't have to ever do this again to accept Propertizer in your body.

After this blink excercise, you will automatically be able to accept the Propertizer without needing to do this again but how fast you can accept it depends on your practice.

Meaning you have to keep practicing to make your Propertizer handling efficient and stuff."

Yea, surprising right? But it is what it is.

They said they would teach us basic fighting style if we were able to learn propertizer which we weren't able to in the past 2 days so... They left without teaching us anything about the basic fighting style when using Dark Matter...

Now on to the present:

...

Haji: "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THEM!"

Ryan: "Chill bro, everyone is angry for the unfairness to our region but we can't do anything about it... We should be thankful cause Wahab taught us in a way that was easily understandable by us"

Umer: " *Sigh* The only option left to us is..."

Adeel: "To create a fighting style by ourselves.."

"..Or use a martial arts fighting style that already exists..".
