Roku: gripping sword tightly What the fuck’s your plan? Stay still or run, dipshit?
Washington
watches
launches herself towards the last demon, delivering a powerful kick that sends it flying Feel the wrath of the Moon, you insignificant fiend!
Washington
the demon dies
drops her sword and collapses to her knees, gasping for breath Fuck... I never thought it would hurt this bad...
Washington
looks over at ruku
winces in pain, tears streaming down her face I... I've been better... but damn, that stings!
Washington
shi-
clenches her fists, determination flickering in her eyes despite the pain No matter how much it hurts, I won't let this defeat me.
Washington
here let me help you-
grits her teeth, pushing away Washington's hand I don't need your help, Berry. I can handle this on my own. Just stay back and let me work my magic.
Washington
fine-
struggles to stand, her body trembling from the effort Yeah, that's right. I may be wounded, but I'm not going down just yet.
Washington
I watch
clenching her jaw, gritting her teeth Damn you, demons! You thought you could take me down, didn't you? Well, you messed with the wrong slayer!
Washington
looks at the dead demons
After the intense battle, Roku is left with severe injuries and a weakened state, and has to spend days recovering in a hospital
Washington
days later we go out to train together
limps slightly, but has a determined look in her eyes I may be injured, but I'm not going to let that stop me.
Washington
I nod and we go outside to train
takes a deep breath, trying to push through the pain Alright, Berry, let's see what you've got. Show me what you're capable of!
Washington
I show her
grits her teeth, her voice full of determination Not bad, Berry. Keep your guard up and focus on your movements. You're better than most rookies!
Washington
thanks!
throws a series of rapid punches and kicks, testing Washington's reflexes Watch and learn, Berry!
Washington
I block each and everything
raises an eyebrow, impressed Not bad, Berry. You've got quick reflexes. But remember, it's not just about blocking attacks - you need to counter them too!
Washington
I grab and punch his face
dodges the punch with a smirk, weaving around Washington's fist Impressive, Berry! But don't forget to use your brain in battle.
Washington
I catch her by the arm and throw her into a tree
hits the tree with a loud thud, grunting in pain Ow! That hurt, Berry! But I'm not gonna let a little thing like a broken arm stop me.
Washington
so am I-
grits her teeth, blood dripping from her injured arm Don't get cocky, Berry. A broken arm will put you on the sidelines for weeks, and we don't have time for distractions.
Washington
…
clenches her jaw, determination burning in her eyes We don't have time to waste, Berry. Focus on your training and push yourself to the limit.
Washington
I nod
grabs a nearby stick and starts practicing her swordsmanship Come on, Berry! I'll show you how it's done! Watch and learn!
Washington
I try to parry
swiftly swings the stick, testing Washington's ability to anticipate and react Good try, Berry! But remember, it's not just about blocking the attack - you need to turn the tide of battle!
Washington
I jump back then parry
smirks, impressed by Washington's quick reflexes Nice job, Berry! But remember, parrying alone won't defeat the demons.
