Tao watched the mans display with interest. He was always one who enjoyed watching others perform their art. He imagined what it would be like if there was someone on the other end of the blows. The damage would be severe, but there was a hint of pride in the mans actions.After Yuka finished his demo, Tao nodded to him in appreciation.
"Indeed, and that style has no shortage of destructive power, which is no wonder why you would prefer it in a life or death struggle."
The old man bowed and took a balanced stance and delivered a opened palmed strike into the air where a mans head would be, then both hands flowed together in a defensive gesture and into a one two closed fist strike where the chest and stomach would of been. Then once again flowing smoothly from another defensive gesture he brought both hands back and them both forward in a dual open handed strike with enough force the would of broken the bones on where the collar bone and the lower floating ribs would of been. He held that pose for a moment before he stood upright again.
"Any style can be destructive in application. I look forward to seeing that unique style of yours evolve Yuka, if you so decide to continue to practice."

Now Yuka stood and watched as Tao preformed in front of him. He watched intently, trying to study every move, trying to see if he could apply anything to his own style. When the display came to an end, Yuka took his stance again before delivering a high kick that would use his shin to hit where his opponent's temple would be. This time he assumed the kick missed and spun around and delivered the same kick using his other leg.
"I think I will continue to practice it, even if I don't ever need to use it."
After those words he bowed to the master martial artist, showing his respect for all that Tao had done for him just with his words.
"Thank you Tao. I think I'd still be staring into that water if it wasn't for you."
Yuka turned and looked back to the pond, the leaf he put in it slowly made its way to the back to land, directly in front of a dirt path leading away from the forest scene.

Tao seemed impressed with Yuka's agility. Stroking his beard he nodded in agreement with Yuka's statement.
"Better to be ready and not need it, than not have it when the need for it arises. I think that is a good decision."
He returned the bow and smiled at the boy. He crossed his arms into the sleeves of his shirt as he spoke.
"It is nothing worth thanking my boy. It is the duty of the old to guide the younger generations, so that we may ensure the future is in good hands."
The old man watched the leaf float along the pond with Yuka. As it came to rest on the shore Tao spoke first.
"Continue your journey along life's pathways my boy. The future is uncertain, but with a strong enough will, you will persevere through the roughest life has to offer. I look forward to meeting you again, Yuka Senshi. And when that time comes, show me what you learned on your journey."
With that Tao faced Yuka once more and bowed slightly to the young man before he turned and walked down the path that led him to the pond in the first place. Humming a old Ionian tune as he walked.

Yuka bowed once again before calling out to the man.
"And I you, Tao Fei Long!"
After the master was out of his sight, Yuka composed himself and looked toward where the leaf had stopped. He walked toward the trail nearest to the leaf and began down the trail, making sure to remember every word that Tao said to him today.
