Chapter 10
Danny felt the new knowledge settle into his mind like a missing puzzle piece, seamlessly integrating with his thoughts and instincts. While it was just a fragment of the larger skill, it was enough to make him feel a newfound confidence. His movements, his demeanor—everything felt sharper, smoother.
"I knew you were meant to be my master," Danny thought with a grin, pride swelling at his small victory. He was still a teenager at heart, and the thrill of learning cool new skills—martial arts, vehicles, and now this—was exhilarating.
"Oh man, I can't wait to get a bike and ride into the wind," he mused, already picturing himself cruising down the road, the wind in his hair, and the admiration of onlookers.
Naruto's voice cut into his daydream. "You've only seen the tip of what I can do. Hurry along, and you'll learn why they called me the Master of All."
Danny's attention shifted back to the present as Sam walked beside him, her gaze full of concern.
"Danny, let's go to the infirmary," she said, noting his bruises and the cuts that dotted his body.
Danny nodded but couldn't resist fishing for some validation. "How was the battle?"
Sam smiled, a glimmer of admiration in her eyes. "You were awesome. I never thought you could move like that."
Her words warmed Danny, and he couldn't help but grin. "Hehe, you'll be learning this too, so get ready for some sweating and pain."
Sam tilted her head, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "I'm always ready for some pain and sweating."
Danny's face flushed as he turned away, her boldness catching him off guard. "I never knew she was this direct," he thought, his mind racing.
