Hannah feels pumped up, ready to learn how to use a sword, she already has super strength, it's good to know more than one fighting technique, she meets them outside in a areas surrounded by walls with a tree in the middle,

"Hey bo-bo, tar-tar" she greets both the pig-monk and monkey-beast,

"Oh great I have a nickname too" tar-tar says sarcastically,

"Be nice, Hannah you look excited" bo-bo says,

"Pipe down" kumatetsu says grabbing a stick,

"Watch me" Hannah looks at kumatetsu, Hannah blushes wanting to see that kind and concerned kumatetsu, but they are training no time for niceness, he swings the stick down creating a gust of wind that blows the leafs up, he swings it up creating a gust of wind that blows that more up, and swings it to the side, to Hannah it looks like he's commanding the leafs,

"Got that, your turn" kumatetsu says tossing her the stick, Hannah catches sweatdropping at kumatetsu,

'He has no idea how to teach' Hannah grips the sword the same way and gets into the same stance,

'So I just swing?' Hannah swings it..creating a line through the floor,

"Umm, I need you to explain how to do it?" Hannah request him, kumatetsu stares at her, making her irritated again,

"Alright, first you grrrip the sword, then it's a whoosh and a bang" he says making the same motions as before,

"Got it" Hannah smiles at him sweetly,

"Yes, of course, first I, grrrip the sword" she grips the stick again,

"And a whoosh" she swings it in his direction,

"And a bang" she hits him in the stomach sending him flying into the sky,

"At least you have power kid" Tatara says,
1 hour later after searching for kumatetus and waiting for him to get up

"Alright let's try something else" kumatetsu says looking at Hannah more wary,

'I see past your innocent smile'

"You need to grab hold of the sword that's in here" he places his hand on top of your heart,

"In your soul, you have one don't you" Hannah thinks back on what her mother had told her,

"The soul" they look at her as she starts chanting,

"The soul is the gateway to many things, your emotions, your darkest secrets, it's what holds you" Hannah starts flowing as she grips her sword,

"Without the soul your body is nothing more than a empty shell as it defines you, shapes you and determines your will, it's also..what holds magical power" Hannah gasp at her words throwing the stick away as the light fades,

"No, no magic, not after" Hannah doesn't say anything but kumatetsu knows, the death of her mother,

"Hey" Hannah jerks back from kumatetsu touch looking up st him in fear,

"I always admired my mother, she taught me everything about magic, but I learned it was magic that killed her, because of that I don't want to learn magic" she looks away from him ashamed,

"I don't want to grip the sword in my heart if it means unlocking my magic, I'm sorry kumatetsu" Hannah says, it silent for a moment until she hears him leave with both beast chasing him after him.
-----the next day------
Hannah had waited a whole day but he hasn't returned back to the house making her worried, not if he's ok, but if he's given up on her, only bo-bo is with her to watch over her, the pig-beast is outside reading a book while keeping a watchful eye on the chickens,
