"Feint to your left! Dodge to your right! Strike downwards!" Obanai instructed as Y/N cut down her bokken ( wooden sword) at him.
"Excellent! Now, before you start learning breathing styles, you must master total concentration breathing." He said putting his own wooden sword aside.
"First inhale for 4 seconds, then hold it in for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds. Repeat this process and you will be able to do total concentration breathing." Y/N nodded and attempted to do it.
To be honest, it felt as though a headache and a stomachache were being thrown at her at the same time. Despite that, she managed to do it for about five minutes.
"Now, don't get too over confident. Total concentration breathing takes a huge toll on an unprepared body. It my take a while before your body is fully accustom to it."
Y/N nodded.

"Imagine your sword as if it were a serpent poised to attack in all directions." Y/N nodded.
"Serpent breathing, fifth form: Slithering serpent!" Y/N said as she charged forth at Obanai in a twisting and winding motion. In a blink of an eye, she had disarmed Obanai of his bokken.
Obanai stood their in silence. He then started to clap.
"Well done, Y/N. You have mastered all five forms of Serpent breathing and total concentration constant in just 2 months. But, before I can send you off to Final Selection, you must first.......
"Slice a boulder in half."

"GODDAMIT!" Y/N yelled as her swird bounced off the boulder infront of her. Again.
"WHY WON'T YOU JUST SPLIT IN HALF ALREADY! YOU STUPID BOULDER!" Y/N ranted. (Y/N tends to yell at inanimate objects sometimes)
"What is that infernal yelling?" Obanai demanded as he walked up to Y/N.
"Oh, good morning, Iguro-san!" Y/N said as he walked up to her. "Sorry I disturbed you, but this FUCKING BOULDER WON'T DO WHAT I TOLD IT TO!" Obanai looked at Y/N amused. Y/N could've sworn kaburamaru was trying not to laugh.
Obanai sighed. "Don't rush things. It took me a long time to cut mine. Not like Himejima-san and Tokitou-kun. They managed to become Hashiras within two months after picking up a sword."
Y/N listened intently. Muichiro was abke to become a Hashira in just two months?! He's more amazing than I thought.
Y/N gripped her sword tightly. It was curved like a snake, just like Obanai's.
"Now get back to training, that boulder isn't planning on slicing itself in half anytime soon." Obanai said, turning around. Kaburamaru stared back at her as he walked away. "Keep up the good work."
Don't worry Iguro-san. I'm not planning on giving up anytime soon. I will avenge my family and eradicate this world of demons.
