X- Mansion. Self-Defense Class."It's all about technique, I've spent plenty of time watching boxers and sparring with boxers , and a lot of them are taught how to throw a particular punch, can I get a volunteer?" Y/n asked as almost all of his students raised their hands. " hisako." Y/n motioned up.
"Sweet!" Hisako heading over to y/n, eager to learn in the demonstration.
"It's like this, what's your fastest hand hisako?" Y/n asked his student.
"I would say my left." Hisako answered looking at her left hand.
"Alright, so put your left hand up." Y/n said as she did and helped her adjust so she was in the proper stance. " now I'm going to throw three jabs." Y/n said to hisako and the class. " don't let me hit your hand." Y/n said to hisako.
"So I have to move it out of the way?" Hisako asked curiously.
Y/n nodded. " just move it out of the way, you can even use your power to protect it." Y/n suggested.
Hisako to his suggestion and coated her arm in psionic energy, a piece of the full armor set that was her mutant power.
"Alright you ready?" Y/n asked, and hisako nodded. " now notice the spread of the first to everyone."
Y/n shot a jab, which hisako dodged. " that's one." Y/n said, he then took another jabs, same result. " that's two, now here's the third one, don't let me hit it, ready?"
"Yes sir." Hisako nodded, bracing her self for an attack at full speed.
To her and everyone-shock, y/n threw a limp punch and completely landed it despite her attempt to dodge.
"What the?..." hisako said in shock and bewilderment, the oddity of the situation brought smiles and laughter to the class, y/n even chuckled to himself, experience a similar situation during his grandfathers teachings. "How did I miss that?" Hisako questioned looking at her hand.
"Heh, let's go again, don't let me hit it." Y/n said as Hisako assumed the stance once more, y/n threw a few more limp jabs which made contact. " now the point here isn't that the punch is supposed to be limp, now I'm going to add some speed. " y/n said getting into a side stands. " don't let me hit it." Hisako nodded.
Y/n swiftly struck hisakos hand once, landing a total of four times.
"Man , I felt that through the armor." Hisako thought as her hand shook a bit from the impact, just how strong was her teacher.
"Now can anyone see what I'm doing to make my movements hard to read?" Y/n asked he saw some raised hands. " santo." Y/n pointed.
"You're not telegraphing right?" Santo, the stone mutant spoke.
Y/n nodded with a smile. " exactly, I'm following through, boxers even when they are practicing do this. " y/n said as he made distinct arm movements of boxers. "They have to read punch's and are teaching themselves to be read as a result, but if you go straight from wherever." Y/n said taking a couple fast jabs.
" it's not speed, it's technique, it's my whole body making the movement not just the arm, so the idea is if hisako or any opponent can't get their hand out of the way, your not gonna move your face out of the way fast enough." Y/n explained as his students widened their eyes in realization.
