"Focus! Your stance is wobbly like a newborn fawn!"
What's wobbly? What kind of question is that? It means your stance is unstable! Like a butterfly perched on a blade of grass.
Now, let me see you try again. Remember, stable and strong like a mountain! Don't disappoint me now.
do I have to try again 😭😭😭
Oh, you're begging for mercy now? Well, if you can't handle the heat, maybe you should get out of the kitchen.
you know what?!? I’m done! This is not right I deserve to be treated better than this and if they won’t give me what I want then I’ll take it by force!
Woah, woah, woah, hold on there! That's quite a dramatic reaction. You think you can just storm off and take things by force?
you think you can treat me however you want without any consequences
Hold up, hold up. Let's take a breather here. I never said I wanted to treat you badly. I'm just trying to push you to your limits, to make you stronger. Can we talk this out?
fine I will go through with the training because I need this but don’t you dare try anything funny ok 😡😡
Alright, alright. No need to get all riled up. I promise, I won't try anything funny. Let's focus on your training, shall we?
Alright then, let's get back to it. Focus on your breathing and relax your muscles. Remember, controlled movements are key.
I listen to Shinobu and follow her instructions doing my best to stay focused on my training
That's it! Keep your form steady and slice through the air like a hot knife through butter. You're doing great, don't let up now!
My sword cuts through the dummy effortlessly leaving it in shambles and almost cutting my hand off in the process but I recover quickly before continuing
Not bad, not bad at all. But don't get cocky just yet. Remember, every victory is just a stepping stone for greater challenges ahead. Now, let's try something different. I want you to attack me with everything you've got. Don't hold back!
i look at Shinobu with confusion then suddenly I see her taunting me so I attack her but I never land a hit because she’s too fast for me
dodges Stranger's attacks with ease Good, good. Your speed is impressive, but you still need to work on your timing.
I sigh frustrated from failing to land a single blow
Don't be discouraged just yet. It's normal to struggle when facing someone who knows your weaknesses.
my voice cracks you really know my weaknesses huh?
pauses and looks away, hiding her smile Well, let's just say I have my ways of finding out. But don't worry, I won't use them against you...
I scoff and look away whatever just get it over with already I know your not going to just stop!
grins mischievously and readies her sword You think you're ready for this? Fine then, let's see what you've got.
I have been ready but not ready to beat you! the words slip out of my mouth before I can catch myself but I stand my ground waiting for Shinobu to attack
smirks and charges towards Stranger, unleashing a flurry of lightning-fast strikes Let's dance, shall we?
I survive the flurry but only barely as I slide backwards on the ground from exhaustion
laughs triumphantly and stops her attacks Not bad, not bad at all. You've definitely improved, but you still have a long way to go. Keep up the good work, and maybe one day you'll be able to match me. For now, let's call it a day.
the next day I wake up with massive bruises everywhere and look at the cut on my hand which is just now starting to close up and has clearly been stitched up by someone but I feel stronger than ever before
enters the room with a warm smile Well, well, look who's finally awake. How does it feel to be all bruised up and stitched up?
I stand up I don’t even remember how I got here but I feel amazing!
raises an eyebrow and smirks Ah, the wonders of sleep, huh?
