There's nothing like the cold hard bitch slap of reality to wake you up.
It had been alittle under two weeks since your release from the infirmary and you were trying to keep your promise to yourself. You were going to get stronger, you weren't going to die just a passable death. You were going to make your new, more dangerous life worth it. Besides, you knew there was no going back now. Your major ass beating taught you that if you wanted to survive without fear; you'd have to be better. So there you were on the training grounds with Nanami almost every day. Trying your best to figure out the best way to activate your technique. For the most part the training had been successful, you'd activated your burning technique a few times. You still weren't fully in control of it yet, but there was progress.
Nanami had been extremely helpful to you through the process. Sure, his lectures weren't the most...exciting but sparring with Nanami was actually really challenging and you were learning a lot.
"Since your hands are your technique Y/n, I'll tell you, it also puts you at a high disadvantage. You have to be close range with the enemy and that can be fatal depending on the curse. We need to train you in a longer range weapon as well, I believe it would be beneficial to know both."
You knew Nanami was right, so he started having you train with a pole that was embedded with cursed energy and despite your initial failures at weapon training, you were actually improving.
After a couple days of really getting the feel for the pole, your hits were starting to get more accurate, and you ALMOST managed to get a hit on Nanami when you sparred.
On this particular day You and Nanami sparred 3 or 4 times before you were done with class, and once you finally conceded you sat on the grass exhausted, but proud.
"Almost Sensei, almost" You panted, chest heaving up and down.
Nanami just adjusted his glasses nodding. "It's good to see some actual improvement, Y/n. You're getting a feel for your new weapon and your stamina is improving. Keep it going, your going on a mission soon."
Immediately you held your breath in fear, but you exhaled quickly realizing that 1. The curse would be at your level and 2. At some point you were going to be sent on missions, that was the job. It also made you feel better knowing Nanami promised to not send you into a situation you couldn't handle and you trusted his word.
"Would I be going with you again Sensei?" you pondered about going on another mission with Nanami.
"I don't know the details yet, it could be Myself, Gojo, or the other first years but we'll see. You won't be sent alone if that's what you're afraid of."
"Okay.." Relieved, you just laid on the ground watching the clouds for a moment. Taking everything in. Everything, all this training.. you thought touching your frying pan necklace that Gojo had given to you. It's worth it... You laid there silently until you heard something be sat next to you. Nanami had grabbed your school bag and set it down close to you.
