"You're getting better and better, Senju.."

Senju's eyes sparkled after [first name] said that. "Thank you, [first name]-san!" she said cheerfully. They're in the boxing ring at the moment—and Senju's currently trapped in [first name]'s headlock, she's been trying to get out of it for almost 3 minutes now, and [first name] could feel that Senju's been using all of her strength to escape her tight grip. [first name] could feel Senju struggling, she looked down at her as she let out a faint smile, "Want me to let go now?" she asked in a calm tone.

"No need!" Senju grabbed [first name]'s wrist, "I can get myself out of here!" she said in pure determination—despite her arms getting weaker every second as she struggles to escape [first name]'s tight grip. [first name] rolled her eyes playfully as she let the teenager do what she wanted.

Takeomi, Wakasa, and Benkei were outside the ring, all had bored looks on their faces. They've been watching the two girls the entire time, and they aren't really surprised seeing Senju in a headlock—since they're all used to seeing Senju lose to [first name]. Takeomi sighed as he took a step forward, "Give it a rest, Senju.." he said, watching his sister try to pull her head out of [first name]'s headlock.

Wakasa went up to the ring and placed a hand on the net, "You've been stuck there for 8 minutes now." he said boringly.

Then [first name] decided to finally let go of Senju. The teenager began whining when [first name] released her, "Aw, man! I was so close!" said Senju as she got on her knees. [first name] chuckled softly as she put a hand on the top of Senju's head, "You were." she said, giving Senju a proud smile. Benkei bent a little to meet Wakasa's level, and whispered to him, "She wasn't."

[first name] offered her hand to help Senju up. Senju took it as she looked at her in pure admiration. "Thanks for training me again, [first name]-san.." she said.

"You're welcome," said [first name], smiling at the teenager. "To be honest, you don't even need to be trained, you're already strong.." she added. Senju's smile grew, and her cheeks began to heat up when [first name] said that. Then [first name] turned to where the guys were and said, "You kinda remind me of myself back when I was your age.."

Senju's cheeks began redder—that's when she couldn't take it anymore. She buried her face in her palms, hiding her red rosy cheeks, and she began fan girling. "[first name]-san's words never fail to flatter me..!"

[first name] giggled, thinking how adorable Senju's acting at the moment. Meanwhile
Wakasa, Benkei, and Takeomi were looking at Senju like she was mental. "I know [first name]'s like her role model and all but...this is just too much." said Benkei to Takeomi, who's standing beside him. Takeomi put a palm on his face, "I know. She's obsessed with her." he said, feeling a little embarrassed for his sister.

Then Senju turned to face [first name] again, "By the way, [first name]-san, do you have some kind of signature move?!" she asked in excitement. "If you do, can ya teach me?!"

[first name] tilted her head as she looked down at the floor, "Hmm..I don't think I have one.." she mumbled. Senju was a little stunned, "What? How come?" she questioned. Then she glanced at Wakasa and Benkei, "I mean those two have one...they even have some combos together.." she muttered the last part—[first name] heard.
