The Choice of The Universe

While Kunt was cooking in the kitchen, Nurse Oya had come to Kunt because she couldn't see Demir despite searching the house,

- Where is Demir?

- (Kunt, who was chopping vegetables, answered without turning his head.) He is training... He will come when he is finished.

- No need to be angry. I was just curious when I couldn't see Demir.

- Can't you see that I have work to do? It's not right for you to be hanging around.

When Nurse Oya left the kitchen, Kunt filled the vegetables into a bowl. He looked at his watch and quickly tidied up. Then he left the house and walked quickly towards the warehouse.

When he came to the pitch dark pit, the wind in the pit had started to get stronger. Immediately afterwards, the strong wind took out Demir out of the pit. Demir, who was hanging in the air for about three meters, made eye contact with Kunt.

He extended his hand towards Kunt, but Kunt's blank stare it didn't seem like he was going to help. While he was trying to understand why Kunt wasn't helping, the wind suddenly stopped. As he fell into the deep pit again, he tried to hold on to the walking rope but failed.

Kunt, who did not pay any attention to Demir who was lost in the deep darkness, returned to his unfinished work at home. When he came back about two hours later, the wind had thrown Demir to the edge of the pit. Demir, who was obviously very tired, got up from his place, albeit staggering, and turned towards Kunt,

- I need some rest. Can we continue the training tomorrow?

- (Kunt answered with a grin.) I knew you would like the wind tunnel. Okay. We will continue tomorrow. Let's go home.

They both left the warehouse together... While Demir was eating his meal, Nurse Oya, who came to the kitchen, was also looking at Demir's right and left carefully. It was very common to get injured while training. When she did not see any problems with Demir, she relaxed and got herself some herbal tea and went back to her room...

After eat, Demir, who was lying on his bed, got up from his bed after resting thoroughly. He went to his desk and started reading the book The Celestial Steps of the North Wind that Kunt had given him, but there was a change on the third page of his book that hadn't been there before.

(Isn't this book mine?) he thought and examined the cover of the book. When he couldn't see any difference, he went back to the third page and looked carefully at the huge green dot at the bottom of the page. When he read the words "Swipe right for training mode" under the dot, he couldn't resist and slid the green dot to the right.

Demir, who was quite surprised by the dot moving with his finger, moved the dot left and right a few times. The green dot, which reacted to every movement of his finger, eventually stayed on the right side. He checked if the other texts and images in the book were moving, but he couldn't find anything else moving other than this green dot.

While Demir was busy with his book, he didn't notice that an exact copy of himself was looking at him in the middle of the room behind him. When he finally stopped messing with the book and opened the requirements page, the hologram behind him started talking. "The Celestial Steps of the North Wind. Chapter one…"

As Demir quickly turned to look at the voice coming from behind him, the book in his hand closed and the hologram disappeared. He turned and looked behind him, but there was no one around. He could not sit still and stood up from where he was sitting.

He searched the room thoroughly. He was sure that there was no one else in the room except himself. But since the seeds of doubt settled in his mind, he could not stay in the empty room any longer. He left his room with his book and came to Kunt, who was working in the courtyard.

- Kunt, there is a problem with my book. (He showed it by opening the third page) Look, that green dot. There was nothing like this here before. It said to scroll to the right, so I scrolled and started hearing strange sounds.

- (Kunt explained when he saw that the education mode in the book was on) This is the training mode. Some of our education books have this feature. It is a feature that explains the course topics practically so that students can better understand what they read.

- What do you mean? Will my book explain what is written in it to me?

- (Demir's surprised look brought Kunt to his senses) Yes, you are right, it is normal that you do not understand since you have never seen anything like this before. I am the one who is at fault for providing incomplete information. Please forgive me, sir. (Kunt immediately bowed before Demir.)

- Please do not bow. This happened because of my ignorance. I thought I would ask you because I did not know. You are not the one at fault.

- (Kunt straightened up and looked at this kind boy gratefully) I apologize again. I will explain it to you in more detail now. First of all, you must have read your book three times in order for this mode to be activated. On your fourth reading, this mode will be activated so that you can understand your book better.

(Kunt looked at the sky and added when he did not see any clouds) Let's go into the house, Little Sir. It is very sunny here. You will understand better what I mean at home.

They both entered the house together. Kunt moved some items in the living room aside, opened an empty space in the middle of the living room and asked Demir to open the page where he heard voices. When the requirements page of the book opened, Demir's holographic image appeared in the empty space. Immediately after, the hologram started talking, Kunt said "Stop" and the hologram stopped. While Demir examined the hologram carefully, Kunt explained.

- This book will create a copy of you according to your current physical structure and show you all the information and movements in it as if you were doing it. As you develop, the hologram will adjust itself according to your physical characteristics. Therefore, you can ask it to repeat the topics you do not understand and the movements you cannot do with voice commands.

- !?

Kunt turned to the hologram as an example and said "Continue". The boy in the hologram continued his speech. "… As can be seen in the figures, there are a total of nine movements for the requirements. Beginners and novice fighters must be able to do at least two of these nine movements. Master fighters must do four of the movements, while martial ancestors must do six. Martial greats and those at a more advanced stage must do all of the movements…"

When Kunt said "Stop" again, the hologram also stopped. After Kunt's "undo", "forward", "repeat" and a few similar commands, Demir, who understood the hologram's operation and instructions, immediately opened the page with the third movement and said "Continue". When the hologram said "The heavenly steps of the north wind. Part one. Requirements… The third movement, the northern eagle soars", a large rock appeared under their feet and they both rose about a meter together.

When everything was steady, the hologram slowly did the third movement against a light breeze. Demir compared the hologram with the book in his hand. "Exactly the same. Why can't I do it?" he muttered and looking at Kunt,

- Kunt, isn't that me in the hologram?

- Yes, it's you, Little Sir,

- So why can't I do this move and he can. I tried a few times in my room but I couldn't do it. I can clearly see that he can do this move. So I should be able to do the same move, right?

- Please don't forget that even though the hologram looks like you, it's actually a book. It's inevitable that he knows and does every information and move in the book perfectly.

I should also point out that it's very difficult to do these without mastering the basic balance and footwork in the book.

- But I learned the basic moves and still can't do them.

- You can't meet the requirements in this book with the basic moves you learned, Little Sir.

- What do you mean? Did I learn movements for nothing?

- Of course not. The book I gave you is the basic martial art taught to all students who enter our order. As long as you don't learn another martial art, that martial art can help you become a martial master.

(Pointing to the hologram with his finger) But this is different. This is "The Heavenly Steps of the North Wind" This is your first book on your path to becoming a supreme master. If you work diligently and with determination, I am sure you will definitely become a great master.

- (Demir replied enthusiastically, clenching his fist) Okay, I will work hard, teach me…

…

The next day, standing at the edge of the wind tunnel with Kunt and looking at the deep darkness, Demir felt the wind blowing slowly and let himself go into the void. While Demir jumped into the darkness of the pit and disappeared, Kunt returned to his routine work at home.

As he approached the bottom of the pit, the strong wind slowed Demir's falling speed down considerably and after a while, Demir was suspended in the air. There was nothing around him except darkness, but that didn't matter. He just, he wanted to have wings. He wanted to fly without needing the wind to lift him up and glide through the sky like birds.

He let himself be touched by the wind and began to float to the right and left. After floating in the air for a while, it was time to get serious. He had to do the moves Kunt wanted him to do and adjust his balance in this strong wind...

When Kunt arrived at the warehouse about two hours later, he panicked when he saw Demir's clothes scattered around. While trying to understand what was going on, the wind got stronger and he pulled Demir out of the tunnel. Demir, who was hanging about three meters up, only had his shorts on.

Kunt's gaze quickly scanned Demir while Demir said "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll see you later." He hadn't seen any injuries on Kunt, but he couldn't understand why Demir wasn't wearing these clothes. Before Kunt could open his mouth to say anything, the wind stopped and Demir went back into the darkness as he came...

When Kunt arrived at the warehouse two hours later, Demir had also come out of the wind tunnel and started putting on his clothes. Kunt approached Demir,

- Hello Little Sir, how did your work go?

- I don't know if it was very good, but it seems like my understanding of celestial steps has increased a little. You know, the touch of the wind on my skin is very nice. At first, my clothes were holding me back, but when I took them off, I had no more problems.

- I'm happy for you. Are you going to continue or should we go home?

- Let's go home. I'm hungry... Besides, there are things I need to consult you about the movements...

As Demir headed towards the exit, Kunt, who was left behind, looked at the wind tunnel for a while. And then, when his gaze lost its sharpness, he left the warehouse after Demir…
