Left. Right. Up. Down. Repeat.
I swung the practice blade in my hand in continuous motion whilst proportionally increasing my speed with the number of reps I have done.
Left. Right. Up. Down. Faster
"Not enough" my monotone voice agitated me as I continued my training.
Fighting Hana made me realize something. I'm not good enough. Yes, I did beat her, yes, I had over a hundred ways I could beat her.
But
That is not the point. The one parameter I pride myself on, experience, I was outdone in my best forte. When it comes to pure combat skills, she beats me. Compared to her, I'm just an amateur fighter. If I continue to rely on raw strength...
Those stars won't be granting my wish.
"-iyo"
So I need to get better.
"-Kiyo"
I need to get stronger.
"Kiyo!" I snapped out of my musings to meet beautiful amethyst eyes staring at me with worry.
"Yes, Hana?" She huffed, then threw a bottle towards me. I caught it and looked at it for a moment.
"You know I don't need water, right?" She just grunted in confirmation. "But, thank you nonetheless," she turned away from me not saying anything. I drank the water before continuing to train.
"Hey," I looked at Hana, seeing my inquisitive look, she smirked with childish intent.
"I'm in a good mood today, why don't you spar with me?" I just stared at her for a moment, "I can even give you some tips" she stood in front of me, in a basic Kenpo stance.
"Why are you doing this?" Her smirk widened into a smug-like grin.
"Did I not say it already?" I shook my head I'm denial, "I'm in a good mood. I feel like helping a certain someone because I'm such a great master," an amused huff left me as she said this, "Don't you think! Mmmm, Kiyo~?"
"This lowly servant is humbled by master's display of kindness." My voice came of robotic and rigid, this caused Hana to laugh.
"On the start of 1?" She just nodded.
3. I stood still in a neutral stance.
2. Hana held a practice sword in the same Kenpo stance.
1. "Master," she looked at me in shock, "Thanks" I gave a small smile as I said this.
"What are you thanking me for?" I just shook my head before blocking the sword that aimed for my heart.

My eyes fluttered not from fatigue but from being idle for so long. I sat up from the bed I was placed in and looked at the unfamiliar shelter that I am residing in.
The furniture inside the room can be best described as... Ice. That's it, the majority of the furniture and the entire interior is just made of ice, or more precisely a magical ice construct. I looked for my weapon, but then I remembered she usually resides in my reality marble for safekeeping.
[Ah! You're finally awake!] A certain weapons celebration brought me out of my thoughts, I could feel the happinesss radiating from her.
It's good to see you to Chranere.
[Of course, master. Are there any complications or annoyances that you feel?] At Chranere's words, I focus on myself.
Standing up, I saw that I was completely naked and strangely enough, it was a good thing. Inspecting my physique I noticed a multitude of changes.
