Nova Family: Born of A Shooting Star

Chapter 19 Repeatedly Defeated

The next day, the three sister gathered at the living room, prepared for their first practice with Nesby. First things first, they have to do some warm ups.

But before they can do anything, Nesby took out a remote control and pressed one of the buttons. In 10 seconds, the living room turned into a fighting match that looks like a wrestling ring. Equipments like dumbbells, skipping ropes, yoga mats are properly placed in a rack.

"There is one last thing to do,"

"What was that last thing Nesby?" Nora sounds like she is bragging that it takes a lot to prepare.

Nesby ignored what Nora asked and she pointed the remote control to the windows. Soon, the windows shifted from transparent to half-transparent. After it turned half-transparent, Nesby then answered Nora her question before.

"We don't want people to think that this place is in chaos right?" Nesby said.

"Well, kind of," Nora still try to make her answer sounds she is clear despite having a lot of confusion in her head.

After that, the practice starts. As usual, they did warm ups before they start the real deal. For Nora, she is close reaching to her feet while stretching and kept screaming because of the pain at her thighs.

On the other hand, Nari can slay the splits in seconds because of her extreme flexibility. Priscilla also find the warm ups easy but the only thing disturbing is her back. Since marksman need to have a good and flexible backs, it might need a while to practice her back.

Obviously, Priscilla finds it hard to bend her back backwards, so Nesby have to hold Priscilla's shoulders and using her knee to push Priscilla's body towards.

"AAHHH!!!" Priscilla kept screaming because of the 'pain' from the stretching.

"Iyaaa, hold on Pri. Flex is important for you case,"

Despite the pain, Priscilla tried to not scream so that other people will not question her. But after 10 minutes of stretching, screaming and sweat, they have finally finished the basics.

Then, Nesby said that she has prepared the suitable equipments for them. Nora and Nari needed a bob boxing dummy while Priscilla need an archery target since she is a marksman.

After Nesby finished explaining, they started their practice. At first Nora and Priscilla still can't make any good outcomes but with Nesby's advice tips, the duo is able to come out with excellent performances.

However, things are not going well for Nari. She is able to use her basic skills but she is still not be able to activate Moon Waves despite the efforts. Still, her energy is dropping drastically and eventually fainted to the ground because of the overuse of her power.

When Nari opened her eyes again, she is in her bedroom, laying down at her bed. She doesn't know what happened just before she fainted, but she knows that Moon Waves is still not activated.

She got up and changed to a sitting position, getting frustrated and messed up her hair. Nari cannot understand why she will just never get to witness Moon Waves. The more she thinks about it, the more she is blaming herself. A knock at the door disrupted her and it was Nesby who came to see her.

"You okay?" Nesby asked.

"Not really. Feeling like I am having anxiety and breakdowns at the same time,"

"Don't put yourself too hard Nari. It might be time consuming to practice since you haven't used them in a while,"

"You don't know Nesby. Nora and Priscilla can nail it perfectly but I still can't do it like them and I just feel like a loser," Nari sobbed while claiming that she can't do it just because she is having a stiff body.

"You know Nari, what matters right now is yourself, not others. You are thinking the wrong way to improve my girl," Nesby tried to bring Nari out of the 'self-blame' trap Nari is stuck at with her piece of advice.
