Urokodaki-san was just there, sitting comfortably, as he watched my misery.

Obviously, Sabito is just as strong as a future pillar would be! My real sword would even often fly away from my grip, but that did not become a nuisance as I always find a way to dodge his attacks and grab my sword back.

Boy, are you really just 10 years old today?

It has been five minutes or so and I kept huffing and panting. My stamina training wasn't like this before so I'm kind of not used to it. And for heaven's sake! My disease might get back again. It still hasn't permanently left my body, it was still here and I just managed to overcome it.

In simpler words: I should not push myself beyond my limits.

"Focus." I quickly deflected Sabito's attack with the edge of my sword. "Do not overthink."

I smiled upon hearing his words. "What about you focus yourself?" Bending my waist on the side, I lifted my left leg and kicked him right through his head. But since he is fast, he managed to block my attack with his hand before grabbing my leg.

Wrong move! I thought to myself. I was deciding whether I'll let myself get flung into a nearby tree or kick him in mid-air and balance myself with my arms on the ground. But Sabito took so long to do his next move which spells my despair, but he never attacked or did another step.

With my forehead creased, a brilliant idea popped in my head as I grinned to myself.

Before he can even attack, I gave him a playful grin. "Sabito-san, don't you want to let go?" He stiffened before quickly letting go of my leg, and I took that as an opportunity to back away. He also did the same and positioned himself in a fighting stance again.

"...no more talking." What he said made me grin wider. "It's distracting." He pointed to my face. "That too."

I chuckled. "Okay, okay."

Even in his tone of voice, no matter how firm it sounded, there still is a sound which tells me that he's flustered. And thinking of seeing that flustered reaction if it weren't for his mask in the way would absolutely make me melt from his cuteness.

Before we can start the 2nd round, Urokodaki-san blocked us both which made us stop from attacking. "That's enough. Take a break, you two."

A grin made its way in my lips. "Finally!" I stretched my arms upward and forward. I can take all the time I have in my break to sleep because I really needed it, even a small nap will do.

Sabito and I parted ways as he chose to go somewhere else to relax. And I chose to go straight to Urokodaki-san's house.

Walking towards his house, there greeted me a smiling Makomo as she offered me water. "Amery-san, here."

"Arigato, Makomo-san." I smiled as I drank it. Due to exhaustion, I managed to finish it all in a matter of 5 seconds or so.

"How did your training go?" She asked as she took the empty cup of water from me.

I instantly frowned. "Hell."

She softly chuckled and it made me wanna pinch her cheeks. Why does Urokodaki-san have all these cuties for his own?! Sabito the cute flustered boy, Giyu the pure soon-to-be-depressed boy and Makomo the bright girl!
