Troublemaker - ❌Juuzou Suzuya❌

9 - Training Part 2

"TIME FOR STAGE TWO OF PP4NN!!"

Shinohara stood up high as Hiyori continued suffering on the floor below him.

"B-but... I'm so tireddd!!"

"That slap you gave Juuzou says otherwise..."

"THAT WAS DIFFERENT!! I can't get through this training alive..."

He looked at her with a heartening smile.

"Don't worry Hiyori, because," he put his arms on her shoulder, making her feel reassured, "I AM HERE!!"

"Yea so what?" She questioned, wondering how that would help. "This pain and pressure feels like some VRMMORPG death game or something..."

"It's not like you're being chased down by titans or anything..."

"Well its really hard to do this, its not like I've been doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run everyday for 2 years or something... "

"If only you did, your power levels would be over 9000, and you would actually be useful..."

"HEY, watch your words!! You may be my mentor but you don't go at Mach 20 so I could kill you easily!!"

"Don't worry, I'll make you super fit, and I'll never give up with that, or go back on my word; that's my ninja way!!"

"Your what?"

"Uh, nothing... point is, the next part will be a lot more straining so you'll need to be mentally prepared, so clear your head and I'll be right back." He got up and jogged over to a big van.

He opened up the boot and lifted a few things up and brought them over. After every item, he would pant and put his arms on his knees. If a monster like Shinohara was tired of just holding those things, what would happen to her??

This frightful thought stayed with her, but she calmed down when she saw what was happening in the background.

Juuzou and Haru were hard at work, with a new notebook full of letters as Juuzou tried hard to get it down in his mind.

He had a pencil in hand, and despite how smoothly he could move it while drawing, his hand was violently shaking this time. He lacked the composure in his fingers required to write, but it wasn't his fault.

"Sa... Ra... Ya... Ta... No..." Juuzou enjoyed the first part. He was made to look at the words and identify their sounds, and then write them out himself. He punched the air with a bright smile after going through and naming them, but this died out after seeing Haru shake his head.

The letters that Juuzou had rewritten were terrible. They were all deformed, and ended up resembling a merge of three or more of the letters.

The letter "ra", which looks kind of like a 5, ended up looking more like a very small scythe with a face on the end of it.

The letter "no", which looks kind of like a sideways 9, ended up being a complete circle with a hole in it.

The letter "ka" ended up also being elongated, and looked more like a giraffe than anything.

"YEA WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!" Juuzou crossed his arms and faced away from Haru.

"I never said it was... I just said that you're terrible at writing..."

"Hmph... No I'm not, you just don't recognize true art when you see it."

"HOW IS THIS TRUE ART?? You went for letters of the alphabet, and you ended drawing a scythe, a donut, a giraffe, and that one looks like an explosion!!"
