Hikage: And your agility and reaction has gotten better!
*As the two continue fighting with one another, another pair was doing the same in another part of the cube*
Imu: Whoo. *Readies her pole* Are you ready for round two?
Yozakura: Mhm. Yes I am. *Readies herself*
Imu: Then come at me with all you've got!
Yozakura: *Throwing a barrage of punches with her large metallic gauntlets*
Imu: *Quickly blocks each and every one of the strikes*
Yozakura POV: Shoot, she's too fast for me to simply fight head on. I need to play this smart. *Throws a punch*
Imu: *Blocks the strike* Hm, if it's for Miyabi's sake, I'll win this fight! *Strikes towards her with her pole*
Yozakura POV: Now's my chance! *Grabs the pole and pulls her closer towards her*
Imu POV: N-Not good!
Yozakura: Here's my chance! *Punches her in the face with her gauntlet*
Imu: Grk! *Spits out blood and is sent back flying and lands on her back*
Yozakura: Shoot! Uhh... Are you okay!?
Imu: Yeah! Of course I am! *Stands back up* But that kind of winded me- *Eyes go blank and falls out cold*
Yozakura: Oh dear! *Runs towards her and catches her*
Imu: *Wakes up slowly* Huh? Aren't we meant to be like enemies or something?
Yozakura: That's in the Shinobi world. Here, were just sparring partners.
Imu: I see... Well since we're not enemies I guess I can atleast do this. *Raises her head and pushes it into the bottom of her chest* Hehe~
Yozakura: *Blushes like hell* What the hell!? *Bonks Imu*
Imu: Ow...
*Back with Mike*
Mike: *Sighs* There... After 10 minutes I finally set up everything else...
Hibari: O-Okay, S-sorry we were so troublesome...
Mirai: Eh!? I wasn't troublesome at all!
Murasaki: You kind of are though... Your so loud...
Mike: Eh, it's fine. I've seen more troublesome people... But we'll talk about em at a later date.
Murasaki: Good... Because I'm still-
Mike: Nope. Sorry for what I'm about to do but, *Snatches Murasaki's pillow* I'll be keeping this until we're done.
Murasaki: Eh..? No fair... I still wanted to-
Mike: Sleep? Yeah that's gonna get ya killed 9 times outta 10 and that chance is hella likely like for real girl.
Hibari: I-I wonder what mine's gonna be-
Mike: I need to build up that courage of yours Hibari so expect to be get a hell of a fright today. *Chuckles*
Hibari: Eeeehhh... I don't like the sound of that...
Minori: What about me!? What's mine gonna be!
Mike: Your enthusiastic. But you'll see.
Minori: Awww man!!
Mirai: So? What about me? What's mine gonna be?
Mike: Uhhh... You'll see.
Mirai: I don't like the sound of that-
*Fast forward a bit later*
Mike: Alright Hibari, your up first. *Puts his hands together and makes a few signs*
*Mike's shadow then expands and then changes shape and form into a large looming figure standing over Mike before jumping up and landing infront of Hibari*
Hibari POV: *Looks up at the gigantic figure looming over her absolutely terrified* A-A-A-Ahhh... S-S-So big... S-S-So scary...
Mike: That's your first test. You need to be brave, you need to learn how to face what you are afraid of. You have to learn to trust yourself.
Hibari: *Looks at Mike* B-B-But what if I'm not..? W-what if I'm just not cut out for this..?
Mike: Then why do you do it in the first place? What is your motive in becoming a Shinobi in this world? What is your goal at all? Do you actually really wanna be a Shinobi at all?
Hibari: I-I-I...
Mike: You don't have to give me the answer. You have to give yourself the answer though. So ask yourself the question again, "What is your motive in becoming a Shinobi in this world? What is your goal at all? Do you actually really wanna be a Shinobi at all?"!?
Hibari POV: *Looks down and holds her head* Why I wanted to... I-I never wanted to! I-I Never wanted to do this... I-I just had to... F-for the name of my family! B-But why... why do I actually keep me going... Why do I keep going... It's always just so scary...
Mirai: She looks like she's having a goddamn existential crisis.
Mike: Your about to have one too.
Mirai: Wha-
Hibari POV: I wanna keep going... B-But not for my family, I-I wanna keep going because I don't want to disappoint all the people who believed in me! I wanna do this! Even if I still have a long way to go... I'll do it! *Looks at Mike with a big bright smile*
Mike: Hm? *Tilts his head and smiles* You finally got it?
Hibari: Yes! Yes you bet do! I'll do it! Even if it is scary! I'll be brave! I don't wanna push anyone down any further because of my incapability!
Mike: That's the spirit I was looking for! I thought it'd take a bit longer but what the hell!? The faster the better!
Hibari: *She looks back at the shadow figure* T-Take this! *She runs up to the figure and punches the figure in the chest*
*The figure then dematerialized and returned back to Mike as his shadow*
Hibari: H-Huh? What happened..?
Mike: Oh that's simple the whole thing was a test. The physical training comes later. I just need all of you to face your biggest weaknesses first before we get onto training.
Mirai: So there's no real training involved!?
Mike: Facing your weaknesses head on is training.
Murasaki: *Yawns* Yeah... I know... It's just so hard to resist sleeping...
Mike: Next up is Minori.
Minori: Woooo~!! Let's do this then! I'll show you what I can do then Sir Techno!
Mike: Don't call me sir. Mike or Techno is enough. I am not a fan of formalities.
Minori: Gotcha!
Mike: Alright. Let's continue on. Let's keep moving.
*As they continue Yagyū can be seen from a distance staring at Hibari*
Yagyū POV: I'm so proud that she's becoming more brave right now... She's so cute...
Mike: *Looks at Yagyū* Hm?
Yagyū: *Flinches slightly* Sorry, I'll head back to my group.
Mike: Oh? Uh, alright sure. Feel free to come by though if you feel concerned.
Yagyū: I will. But I know you are more than capable enough to do it.
Mike: Gotcha. *Looks back at the group* Alright let's get this training on the roll!
