I Can't Love The Shit Out Of You Without Getting Closer Vol. 1 *REMAKE*

A Huntress' Dream School

*Four Years Later, Alice POV*

"Again! You need to disregard your surroundings. Your Stand lets you be creative. Don't just think outside the box, bend it."

I keep running circles around Kit, trying to get into my rhythm. No matter what I do though, I just can't get a hit in. 

Kit started personally training me a few days ago since tomorrow's the day Beacon's new school year begins. He took some time off from the SPW Foundation just to train me. I've always sparred with mom, Caesar and Jojo, but a few days ago was the first time I've tried sparring against Kit.

Suffice it to say it wasn't going well for me.

'Tch, this guy's not even using Star Platinum... He has to have an opening somewhere!'

I send Starstruck forward to get Kit off-balance. But instead of dodging, he just straight up caught it?!

He yanks the whip, pulling me towards him. Just before he was going to land a punch on my face, I use Gold Experience to block his strike. Skidding back a few feet, I regain my composure and have Gold Experience stay on. 

"You rely too much on this." Kit looks at Starstruck dangling in his hand, before throwing it to the side. "As a Stand user, you need to take advantage of your abilities. In this world, every card you have is just a means of survival."

Him throwing my precious weapon to the side like that made me a little ticked off. "HEY! Watch what you're doing with StarStruck!"

I take out the coins in my pocket and transform them into birds using Gold Experience. I command them telepathically to get my whip back as I rush towards Kit. Behind him, I eyed a familiar purple man.

'There he is. If it's a Stand battle you want, it's a Stand battle you're gonna get!'

'MUDA!' Gold Experience tries to kick Kit in the face, but Star Platinum easily parries it. I stagger back a little, but it's okay, because the birds finally got me my-

**--ME S-O-**

-weapon... Huh?

'What? Where did it-?'

I look around the ground near me to see if I just didn't catch it, but then when I looked towards Kit again, I saw it in his hands.

"Time stop..." I mutter to myself. "I thought you weren't gonna use it?" I say with a cheeky smile.

He smiles back at me and puts my whip in his coat's inner pocket. "And I thought you were gonna listen to my pointers?"

After securing my weapon, Kit rushed forward, putting me on the defensive. I took a deep breath and prepared myself to counter anything he would send my way. With another breath, Hamon courses through my body, enhancing my physical capabilities.

I anticipated him to go for a straight punch, but to my surprise, he threw his coat over my face. With my vision impaired, I had no choice but to try and get out of his range. But when I tried jumping back, I felt something grab at my ankle.

I fall to the ground with a thud as the coat flies away from my face. When I looked at my foot, I saw that it was my whip that caught me.

"In the heat of battle, you need to use everything. Not just what's in your hand, but what your hand can get."

As Kit was talking, I was already thinking of a way to both knock him back and take my weapon back. I use Gold Experience to create vines that shoot towards his way and wrap around his body.
