"Good." YN says, generating yet another kunai in her hand. She notices Miwa's slightly slumped posture, beads of sweat trickling down her face while breathing hard to catch a breath that keeps slipping away from her again. "Straighten your back." she warns and Miwa instantly takes note, standing up straight again and never complaining about the lack of breaks.
YN throws the kunai with a bit more force this time, and Miwa yells out of either fear or determination, precisely swinging her katana and knocking it away before it can pierce her shoulder. She has been careful to only aim in non-fatal places, since Miwa is still a rookie and one small mistake, such as swinging the blade half a second too soon or too late could instantly end her life.
It is only day two of training and yesterday was spent learning to block and shield herself. YN had then spent the rest of the day at her mother's house, without Gojo for once as he too has been occupied with his students.
Still, YN did find herself waiting for him to appear in her room at night and she couldn't help but feel disappointed when he didn't, even though she knew it was for the best.
The kunai lands on the grass, amongst the others that she has knocked away. If Miwa counted how many that her new sensei had thrown at her, the number would be 112.
112 kunais that could have injured her.
But YN could tell that Miwa has already learned so much and in only twenty-four hours. She can also tell that she has become a lot stronger. Every motion with the katana is now fluid, as if she has been training for months.
YN is silently proud. Miwa is mentally appreciative for her sensei, who she knows is the reason that she is learning to fast. She no longer finds herself fangirling for Gojo Satoru, but for YN.
"How are you feeling?" YN asks, summoning another kunai.
Miwa wheezes, the sweat now leaving stains around the collar of her tracksuit and her lower back. "Good. Amazing."
On the other hand, YN is completely dry. "Can you take another?"
Miwa nods and then gasps as the kunai comes at her faster than a blink, this time towards her left hip. She successfully knocks it and prepares for the next, eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
YN goes to do it again but a sudden pang in her wrist causes her to wince, clutching at it with her other hand. She realises that she has exhausted all of her energy and she is definitely going to pay for it later on.
"Are you okay?" Miwa asks, slight panic in her voice.
"I'm fine, Miwa-san. How about we wrap this up for today?"
