Ask Natsu anything about the mission, he will always blame it all on Gray. In his eyes, it was all Gray's fault. Right now, he should be back at the guild, eating whatever his big sister wanted to eat that Mira would make. But noooo, Gray had to do...

The only person Natsu would ever listen to, apart from the Guild's Master, Erza and Gildarts, was his big sister. And he knew well he had to listen to her, especially during the topic that was the 'Breathing Styles' thing. It must be why, while the old man that was her teacher was teaching Lucy and Wendy, she took Natsu, Gray and Erza with her to teach them, the two groups far away. "I want total seriousness during this, okay? No shenanigans, no bullshit, no jokes. Seriousness." was what she had started the lesson with "This is the only way for you all to kill demons. Your magic here doesn't kill them, it only damages them." she explained.
"They must be seriously strong if we have to kill them with that technique you showed us when we were younger." Gray commented, serious. Giyuu nodded.
"Total Concentration Breathing is the key to survive against these demons. This technique expands a person's lungs for various reasons: getting as much air as possible, speeding someone's blood flow and heartbeat and increasing the body temperature. This causes the muscles and the bones of a person's body to grow more excited." the three looked very confused by that last part "Don't ask. I don't know how to explain the last part with words." she sighed.
"So it basically acts as if it was some sort of enhancement spell, like Wendy's." Erza hummed.
"Correct. It enhances your strength, your speed, your stamina, your durability, your endurance and your mental capabilities. Not only that, but your reaction time and your thought process become faster. It's thanks to this technique that I was able to defeat Minerva in the Naval Battle. Because my senses were superhuman, to put it lightly." Giyuu crossed her arms. Her mind flashed back to the Naval Battle that happened during the Grand Magic Games. She remembers it. Seeing Minerva beat Lucy so much she was barely conscious even though Giyuu was still in the water. Seeing it had made her angry, angrier than she had ever felt. That had been torture. Actual torture. And she had to witness it first hand.
She quickly shook her thoughts away. "This forest, it's filled to the brim with traps." the three sputtered "That's one of the many ways Urokodaki-sensei trained me. He won't be merciful with anyone, even Wendy. That's why, you all have to give it your best. I can't be the one killing demons for you all. You all need to learn. If you don't..." she paused. Natsu noticed the way her face darkened.
"Don't worry, sis! We'll learn this Total Concentration breathing and a Breathing Style" he assured with a big grin "This can't be that hard to learn!" Giyuu chuckled.
"There's the typical Natsu." Gray huffed, a smile on his face.
"While I wouldn't agree with Natsu, it can't be that hard." Erza hummed. Giyuu wanted to laugh so badly at their words. But she also didn't want to make them feel bad. Because, by her experience, it wasn't going to be easy.
She mentally wished them good luck.
