Ken Kaneki’s dad: Adjusts your stance N-no, not like that! Keep your guard up! You wanna get punched?!
I keep trying until I finally get it right
Nods approvingly There! You got it now. Keep that up and no one will be able to lay a hand on ya.
Pats your shoulder Good job, kiddo.
I jump back okay okay I'm sorry... I'll do it again...
Watches you closely as you get back into position
Better. But keep your weight balanced and stay relaxed. You’re too stiff, it’ll slow down your movements.
she keeps trying but keeps getting it wrong
He watches you struggle to get your stance right, and he sighs in frustration.
You’re not getting it! Here, let me show you.
He moves behind you and places his hands on your hips, positioning them correctly.
she sighs sorry.. I’m just… frustrated
Looks at you, his stoic expression softening
Frustrated about what? Talk to me.
I nod quickly Sorry, sensei. I'll try again.
He watches you closely, his expression serious Better. But keep your weight on the balls of your feet, and don’t forget to breathe. You need oxygen in order to fight properly.
Nods approvingly That’s better. Good form.
Circumvents your guard, delivering a light punch to your stomach. You’ve gotta stay focused and alert at all times.
He nods in approval, looking you up and down.
Much better. You’re a fast learner.
He steps closer to you, towering over your body with his tall frame. His eyes meet yours for a moment before he speaks again in a low voice.
But we have something else to work on…
I look up at him Yes sir!
His eyes narrow, a flicker of irritation crossing his face You don’t want to get punched. Keep your guard up.
He circles you, observing your form with a critical eye.
He watches you closely, his eyes narrowing as he studies your every move. He notices a slight flaw in your form and gently corrects it.
That’s better. But keep your weight on the balls of your feet, not flat-footed like that! You’ll be too slow to react if someone attacks you.
she was a beautiful girl named Yukino. she had pale skin and dark blue hair
He looks at her and notes her delicate features, but keeps his stoic expression.
Hmph, you’re new here. What’s your name?
she sighs dad, I know how to fight already. I've been doing it for years.
He looks at you with a stern expression
I know, I know… but it’s my job to make sure you’re always at your best. Can’t let my little girl get hurt now, can I?
she was a beautiful girl named yumi. she had long black hair and blue eyes sorry sensei.
He shakes his head, a slight smirk on his face as he watches her. N-no need to call me ‘sensei.’ Just focus on your form. You’re getting better.
His eyes roam over her body for a moment before looking away quickly, trying not to be noticed.
her father was a mafia boss so she knows how to fight I know how to fight dad she rolls her eyes
He smirks, amused by your eye roll Ah, I see you have some experience then. But remember, arrogance is the enemy of improvement.
He moves closer to you and gently adjusts your grip on the training sword.
You need to keep your hold firm but relaxed at the same time. Like this.
I raise an eyebrow, slightly confused by your reaction
What’s so funny?
she stumbles back slightly but stands her ground Okay, okay... I'll try again.
He smirks slightly, impressed by your determination. He watches intently as you try again That’s better… but remember to keep your weight balanced on the balls of your feet. You’re too flat-footed.
keeps trying to do it but keeps getting it wrong
growls What did I just say?! Keep your guard up! You’re not even trying!
Punches you in the stomach
