As the sun rose up to the sky. Y/N and Hiroshi were standing at the top of the hill while holding a wooden sword.

Y/N: So, what are we doing up here?

Hiroshi: Your first lesson of training.

Y/N: What kind of training is this?

Hiroshi: This lesson will be sword stance and different fighting techniques while weilding your sword. There will be more to learn but you must know your way of the sword. Now, I want you to bend your knees a little bit and hold your sword with both hands while facing it towards me.

Y/N: O-Okay. (gets into the sword stance)

Hiroshi: Now, I want you to stand like that and breathe for the whole day.

Y/N: Huh? Stay in this position?

Hiroshi: Is that hard for you?

Y/N: N-No, I'll do it.

Hiroshi: Good, I'll see you tomorrow.

Hiroshi walked down the hill as Mio walked up to see Y/N staying in his stance.

Mio: *sighs* He did that to you too?

Y/N: Huh? Does he do this all the time?

Mio: Yes. He did that with his other students before.

Y/N: For how long?

Mio: I don't know usually days. But how long did he tell you?

Y/N: For the whole day.

Mio: *sighs* I'll come bring you food and feed you.

Y/N: You're such an angel...

Mio: Awe... You're too sweet. (rubs Y/N's head and walks back down the hill)

Y/N: *sighs* I really have to stay here for the whole day...

As Y/N would stay in his stance Mio would come up during the afternoon and at night to feed him food and give him water to make it through the whole day. But Hiroshi was secretly watching him and he smiled that Y/N didn't move at all.

Hiroshi: Well, you can relax now.

Y/N: Huh? Why?

Hiroshi: You completed the lesson.

Y/N: Huh? But all I did was just stand there and did nothing but breathe. I didn't do any sword techniques either.

Hiroshi: But you did learn a sword technique. It was patience.

Y/N: Patience?

Hiroshi: Patience is what you need to have when you're facing an enemy. Whenever you're fighting an enemy you always have to be patient until they make the first strike and you find your opening. But you can also have patience during your battle to figure out their weak spots. That is why you passed the first lesson.

Y/N: I see. So, that's why you made me stand here.

Hiroshi: You're the first student I ever taught to pass the first lesson this quickly. My other students before you, would end up not being patient and would keep standing here for days until they realized why they stood there.
