"Alright (Y/N) listen well because I'm only going over the instructions once," Beginning with that the long haired woman stood before you, Caesar to her side and what seemed to have been a shot glass was held within one of her hands. "Today's lesson is about focus during a high stress situation."

The lesson's arena for today was what appeared to have been a long hallway, one side enclosed by glass while the two openings had what looked to be something similar to elevator doors.

Nodding your head along to what the woman was saying she continued, "You are to keep the water in this glass as you move from one end of the hall to the other." Trailing forward she extended the glass over to you, the inside was filled perfectly to the rim with water and any sharp movement could risk spilling the water.

"All I have to do is move through the hallway without spilling this?" Casting your eyes towards Lisa Lisa then the water you couldn't help but feel suspicious, the task seemed easy enough so there must've been a catch.

"Caesar," Calling out the blond's name he let out a hum, right away both his arms brushed against one another before opening and an array of brightly coloured bubbles drifted up into the air, each spreading out enough so that the entire hallway was filled. "These bubbles are hamon filled. Touching them will make the task more difficult."

Staring at the few that'd drifted before you, you couldn't help but reach out poking it with your index finger. The smooth surface right away popped and what you could only relate to as much stronger static shock zapped through your body.

"Son of a bitch!" Shaking your hand to get rid of the feeling you stopped instantly realizing that the action could accidentally spill the water.

"You will be timed on how quickly you make it through those doors. Once they begin to close will that be your only window," Rolling her shoulders back and fixing the sunglasses that rested along the bridge of her nose Lisa Lisa spoke once more. "Spill the water and you fail, fail to make it to that door before closing and I will not teach you anymore. Those are the conditions."

"Good luck." The woman after finishing effortlessly made her way towards the end of the hallway, the bubbles seemingly parted for her before closing up behind.

Seeing the way your eyes stared at the end of the hallway Caesar let out a hum catching your attention, "You'll do just fine. Just maintain your focus and do your best." Instructing you on that he took a step over reaching out to softly pat the top of your head.

"I'll be at the end, angelo." His words gave you some form of confidence, sure there was a large part of you that was practically shitting right now- but a slowly brewing determination grew. "Good luck."

Making his way towards where Lisa Lisa was they both peered down the hall waiting for you to signify that you were ready to begin.

Taking in a deep breath your eyes trailed away from the bubbles and hallway towards the glass in hand, it's waterline shook softly with the natural shake of your hand which was something that you should be worrying about.
