-Matsumi’s POV-
*I want you to walk around this course blindfolded as you try to find your way over to me and strike me. It won't be that hard and I will have bells signaling where I am to you.* She signed before handing me a training sword out of wood.*Oh and also, if you cheat by taking off the blindfold, Milwaukee was hard as I came with this training sword, and I'm going to make you do 1000 sword swings.* (Y/n) said dangerously before shoving the blindfold down.
At first when I was walking around the course I bumped into a few things. I got a little used to it as I was the one that helped set it up. Just as I was thinking I was getting used to it I got hit straight into the chest with the log. "Gah!" I coughed before getting right back up.
'It must have been the swinging log as it goes along the strings hanging above us.' I thought before turning toward the sound of a bell. 'Over there!' I thought, swinging as I connected with another training sword.
There was a hum in response as I tried striking again toward the side just to be pushed back, getting hit into another log. 'Damn it. Kyojuro-san used to make this look so easy as he used to come out here when the winds were its highest. He too had been blindfolded.'
I felt like I was thinking too hard on this before I thought of my other mentor's words. They were so simple yet I forgot about them. 'Just breathe.' I stopped moving for a second, taking in a deep breath, noticing that the wind had started picking up.
Didn't matter though as I breathed in through my nose, and soon I realized everything seemed to be slower… 'Is this what Tokito-san meant?' I thought to myself as I seem to dodge most of the logs, yet got hit by a couple every now and then.
-(Y/n)'s POV-
Moki was striking me up, down, left, and right before she suddenly stopped taking in a deep breath. 'I guess she figured it out.' I thought, before realizing she completely ignored me, going around the course like a leaf in the wind. 'So majestic.' I thought again before coming after her.I don't think she seemed to notice that I was swinging at her. This lasted for around a half an hour before getting wiped out straight in the head by a spinning log. I leaned over her as I took off her blindfold. *You passed the first test.*
She seemed to let out a breath she didn't know she was holding before turning to her right. 'Hmm?' I thought before noticing Obanai and Mitsuri. I waved as I smiled before pulling Moki off the ground. We then walked over to the lovebirds as they probably won't tell each other their feelings.
*I don't know y'all will be here this early, I would have had food ready.* I signed excitedly forgetting that one of them doesn't know sign language. About forgetting something so simple. "Sow-ry." I tried saying, before looking up. They all seemed to have surprised faces before Mitsuri smiled at me.
-3rd Person POV-
Mitsuri and Obanai were walking along the path as they were following directions from their crows leading them to the Flame Hashira's estate. "Kya! How do you think it looks Obanai-san! Oh I can't wait to get there! It's going to be so much fun!"Mitsuri practically screamed as Obanai was smiling under his mask. "I don't know, I guess we're just going to have to wait and see." Obanai responded, which almost caused the love pillar to sprint toward the house before getting held back by the serpent pillar.
"We don't have to rush things, we'll be there soon enough, Mitsuri -san." Obanai said calmly as they started to see the entrance of the estate causing Mitsuri to get excited before hearing the sound of wooden sword clash.
'Who is she training with?' Obanai thought as they both started walking beside the house as Mitsuri seemed to know where she was going. I mean she most definitely probably has been here before she was Rengoku's student.
