Afina-Jade had been practicing and practicing nonstop until her arms, back, and core were aching her to her death bed. She would do the jacket training at work in her spare time, or at home while she watched movies, listened to music, or did it in silence.

Every once in a while during the night, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo would glance at her training from afar, watching from the window and feeling proud of their work as mentors. Although it is a little unsettling to be watched through the window, the Brothers need to see her progress without disturbing her or scaring her. When they were satisfied with what they'd seen, they'd return home to the lair.

And until the clock struck midnight, Afina-Jade let out a long and heavy sigh, making it to the shower and washing away all of the toxins in her body. As she scrubbed her shoulders and chest with her soapy loofah, if she had to guess, Afina-Jade probably did the jacket training for about five to six hours and another four hours just after training with the mutants. She would have to repeat it again tomorrow in the lair with the Brothers and Splinter. She is beginning to like being around them, but how much more of this training could she take before she explodes?

The more her exhausted mind thought about it, she tried to imagine why this specific training was so important and hopefully, she didn't grow annoyed with it.

Jade is looking forward to her progress during the next few days

She's been at it for about an hour, and it seems that Jade had jinxed it. She is growing annoyed with this training and it pissed her off even more to see Splinter and the Brothers watching her from the sidelines... doing nothing! Jade is directed to keep doing this training until...until when exactly? She has no idea. At this point, she thought she would have been taught a new form of training.

Nope...

Jade will get sick of this very soon, and the moment she decides she has had enough, she will snap. While the other three mutant teenagers eagerly anticipate that unique moment, Leo and Splinter sipped herbal tea. After around three days, Jade's patience has remarkably held up rather well.

Following the progression of the "jacket training," Jade threw it at her feet and leaned down to grab it with a grudge. Finally, with her last bit of patience wearing thin, Jade is over this! She's been at it for about 10 hours a day for three days. Jade had broken three dozen sweats, pushed her limbs to their limit, and she was nearly ready to cry. For her to become a ninja, her attitude started to change-- one of the things she needed to come out of her metaphorical shell.  She let out a breath and addressed them directly, raising her voice.
