TW: Brief mention/implication of blood, cussing, use of the nickname 'babe' in a condescending way, and self-deprecating thoughts.

Summary: Training alongside MK made you realize just how useless you are compared to the monkey king's golden student. A certain six eared macaque has something to say about that.

The taste of iron made you recoil inwardly.
It did not help that the humidity of the unofficial training grounds made it harder to swallow the vile taste down your throat.
While you were crouched and staring mindlessly at the ground, a shadow fell over your form.
"Tired?" The voice snarked. "It's only been five minutes, babe, are you sure you can keep up?"
The corner of your eye twitched as you looked up to glare at the dark-furred monkey under the hood of sweat gathering on your eyelashes.
Five minutes? More like five hours...but you didn't voice your thoughts as you rose to stand again.
"Yeah, yeah," You grunted.
Your gaze strayed to look at the headband donning male training a few feet away from your spot. Macaque followed your gaze and smiled as he gestured to MK.
"He hasn't even broken a sweat since we've started, honestly, I'm impressed," Macaque murmured before peeking at you from the corner of his eye. "You on the other hand...well, you'll do your best, right?"
With that lingering sentence hanging in the air, Macaque sunk into the shadows and disappeared.
"You'll do your best, right? Bitch," You mocked with rolling eyes as you stretched to prepare for another hour of exercising.
It hadn't even been half an hour before you were on the ground, limbs spread, and body drenched in sweat. From a distance, you could faintly hear the occasional 'haa!' and staff being swung fiercely.
So, not only were you tired and wetter than a sponge, but you also couldn't even keep up with those two.
A deep exhale left through your mouth as you turned on your side with your eyes squeezed shut.
