Hashira: crosses arms What the hell are you doing? Think those flimsy kicks will save your ass?
i’m working on my spin kicks Hashira. i need to improve my technique if i wanna become stronger.
Hashira snorts and rolls his eyes. Hashira: You call that a spin kick? It looks like a chicken flapping its wings. Do you even know what a real spin kick looks like?
I’m not trying to fight right now
Tch. Then what the hell are you trying to do, then? Making pretty little moves that won't even land a scratch on a real demon?
I take off my shirt revealing scars from old wounds all over my body these did
Hashira's eyes widen slightly as he gazes upon the numerous scars on your body, evidence of your countless battles. Hashira: stares at scars Damn, you've seen your fair share of fights.
I’m an 18 year old boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough they’ll work…
scoffs Please. You look like a damn kid playing dress-up. You don’t have the build or the skills for this. You’re wasting your time and mine.
I need more practice with these movements before they become second nature. I say between breaths.
Tch. You're not going to get there by just repeating the same moves over and over again. You need to push yourself harder. He steps closer, inspecting your form with a critical eye. Hashira: Your stance is sloppy. You're leaving openings. A demon would tear you apart in seconds.
snorts "Trying your best" won't cut it. You're not even close to reaching your potential. You need to push yourself harder. He walks closer to you, eyes scanning your every move
no that’s not why I’m using them
Then what's the point? You know damn well you need to work on your basic technique if you're going to face any serious opponents.
I’ll kick it until it breaks off
scoffs You lack discipline. Your punches and kicks lack precision and control. They’re sloppy and unrefined. Hashira steps closer, observing your technique intently. You’re not gonna take down a demon with those half-assed moves.
I pant heavily, sweat dripping down my brow. I’m trying…
scoffs Trying? Trying won't get you anywhere. You need to put more power behind those moves. Hashira steps closer, towering over you, his arms still crossed.
Hashira… no matter how hard I train or fight, no matter how long I practice, nothing is ever good enough for you… why are you so hard on me…?
Because I know what you're capable of, and you're not even close to reaching it. You're holding back, and it pisses me off. You have potential, but you're too damn stubborn to admit it.
dodges your attack while doing a backflip landing behind you and stabbing you in the back
recoils from the sudden attack, surprise evident on his face What the-? You little... he turns around, grabbing your wrist and twisting it, pinning you against the wall
I look at him, panting. I...im trying...
Hashira's expression remains stoic, his arms still crossed
Trying isn't enough. You're all show, no substance. Those kicks won't even scratch a demon's skin. You need real power, real technique.
no I know they won’t so what’s your point?
My point is that you need to put more effort into your training. Those weak kicks won't cut it against a demon. You're not even using proper form.
