A whole 3 days passed since the elementary school incident. After Okkotsu had gotten everyone to safety, they were left to recover in the hospital after being healed. Amaya and Maki were now fully recovered, so the students didn't waste their time and got to training immediately.
Amaya, Maki, Inumaki, and Okkotsu were running laps around the large track as Panda counted their times. Panda had an out because his physical stamina did not have to be tested. He was a panda (and not even a real one— a stuffed one), after all. Amaya was on her way to finishing her fourth lap while Okkotsu was about to end his third.
"Not a runner?" she slowed down to jog at the same pace as the boy.
Okkotsu tried to control his breathing to not sound heavy, "No, I can't... do athletic... things."
He was not built for this type of exercise. The noirette was used to running away from others, not running laps. His chest hurt from how much he was doing so suddenly.
"I couldn't before either," Amaya smiled. Panda called for Maki and Inumaki as they were on their final lap. "But I'm alright now. We'll train together, okay? Maybe I can help you since I used to be you. For now though, we've gotta catch up!"
Amaya ran faster and looked behind her, watching as Okkotsu pushed himself to run faster too. She was glad to see the boy become so motivated after the short time she knew him. It was as if the incident at the school had lit a flame inside of him.
It wasn't long until Amaya finished her running and sat down with the others to watch the special grade sorcerer finish his laps. She and Panda cheered him on while Inumaki and Maki kept silent.
"Yay! You finished," Amaya walked up to the boy and held up her hand. "Good job."
Okkotsu stared at her for a moment before hesitantly raising his own hand and high-fiving the brunette. She smiled at the quick progress of how he was getting less nervous around her.
"C'mon you two," Maki called for the pair, "we're not done."
"They actually are done for now," Gojo came out of nowhere and walked down the steps.
Both Amaya and Okkotsu tilted their heads at the same time, "We are?"
"Hah, you two are coordinated already!" Gojo hummed as all the students circled around him, "I have to give Yuta something and I need you, Amaya, to come with us."
"Oh okay."
The first years followed behind their tall teacher, asking each other if they had any clue where they were going. Neither had an answer, so they just continued on until they reached a building Amaya was familiar with.
'The cursed tool warehouse?'
Gojo unlocked the locked door and slid it open before he stepped to the side and gestured, "Alrighty, you two head in first."
