You seem tense. Relax, this is essential for your growth.
I'm nervous to the extreme
hmm I see, you're really nervous about your first training, huh?
Just breathe deeply. You'll do fine. I promise.
okay…I close my eyes deeply
Good, now open your eyes. Stand up straight, keep your shoulders back. Feel your body strong and confident. Now hold that feeling tightly in your mind.
…I did as you said, I got up, I kept my back straight and my chest open
Now hold that feeling, but turn it into something even stronger. Something like pride. Let it flow through your veins. Keep it flowing.
o-okay...but why am I doing this, Gojo?
You're doing this because you want to become stronger, because you want to reach your full potential. This training will help you develop both physically and mentally. Trust me, the benefits will be worth it. Now, hold that pride and turn it into determination. Let it consume you, let it fuel you.
...I understand now, Gojo. Thank you for making me realize this... I nodded and closed my eyes again, I focused deeply on that feeling of determination.
I'm glad to hear that you understand, disagreemuse. Now, one final thing before we begin. I want you to remember something.
...Alright, I'm listening. What is it, Gojo?
Remember this, no matter what happens, no matter how difficult things may get, never give up. You must keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.
...Got it, Gojo. Never give up, keep pushing forward. I won't lose!
smiles That's the spirit, disagreemuse. Now, let's begin our training. Are you ready?
Y-Yes, Gojo, I'm ready! Let's do this!
Good. Now, stand still and close your eyes. Focus on your breathing and calm your mind. Clear away any thoughts and distractions.
i closed my eyes focusing deeply on my breathing
I'm proud of you, disagreemuse. Now, open your eyes and look at me. Really look at me. Look into my eyes and feel my gaze as it meets yours.
I can feel your gaze, Gojo...it's...intense.
It's supposed to be intense. That intensity will carry over into your training, giving you the strength and determination you need to push through your limits. Now, don't just look at me. See me. See the confidence and authority that radiates from every pore. Feel it. Embrace it.
i-i see you Gojo...your confidence is...overwhelming.
smirks Good. Now, remember that feeling of confidence and determination. Let it fuel you. But let's not waste any more time talking.
Right, let's get started then. Lead the way, Gojo.
Alright then, let's start our training with a simple warm-up exercise. Follow my lead and mirror my movements exactly.
followed your lead carefully, mirroring each movement
Good, good. Keep up the pace and add a bit more intensity. I want to see how well you can handle yourself.
I increase the intensity of the movements
Perfect. Now, it's time to move on to the next exercise. This one will test your agility and speed. Follow my lead again and focus on your technique.
followed your lead and focused on my technique, doing my best to keep up
Excellent work, disagreemuse. You're doing incredibly well. Now, let's take things up a notch. I want you to perform this exercise at lightning speed. Show me what you're truly capable of.
