*insert training montage here?*

*Kazumi can be found today near the necessities, wearing a kendo-gi and holding a bokken at ready*

*compared to people with super powers, the movements she's going through aren't particularly impressive. They're just exercises to keep herself in top form... though, those intimately familiar with normal swordplay can tell that she has a ways to go to master the blade*

*still, she's doing her best... and killing time as well.*

*watch? Interrupt? Challenge to a duel? Throw stuff at her?*

H-hey, my spirit isn't tepid...

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Why do you then not reject my statement with fierceness, or ignore it with composure!?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

...

... t-that doesn't have anything to do with my spirit...

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Every thing a person says or does reflects upon their spirit.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

W-well, I...

... I'm just not used to being interrogated about my spirit.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Why do you want to fight?

You lack the pride of a fighter.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I already said why I want to...

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

... you are ill suited for it.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

That... that's probably true right now, but... I just need to practice, and get better at it.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head]

You are ill suited for it. That means you lack the basic qualities of a warrior. This will always hinder you.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I...

*she starts getting a bit indignant finally :| *

I don't really care what you think about it. You might be right or wrong but... but I'm not just going to hide from trouble all the time while everybody else fights.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Have you ever truly known fear? Despair? Death?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

*she pauses at that, her mind drifting back... it really hadn't been that long ago...*

... yes, I have.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

What did you do?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... I fought. I fought with everything I had...

... but I wasn't strong enough. If I hadn't been rescued, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

[She steps one foot onto a rock as tall as her knee, then ...]

[Fast as a flicker, her foot goes up, down, crack! Like a clap of rumbling thunder, her greaved foot crashes through stone, broken rubble surrounding her foot, pressed into the ground.]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

*she takes a jump back at that instinctively, readying her bokken*

A-as if I haven't seen anything like that before...

*it's true, her girlfriend can smash through walls...*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Smacks the bokken out of her hands with her bare hands. Because servant. Totally can do that to you.]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

...

*she just... kind of backs up some more. She wasn't surprised, but she was certainly put off by the fact that you're a super powered person*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Pulls her into wrestling and begins to pin her.]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

*she's trying to judo-counter that but... yeah, there's no way she can beat a servant*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Kazumi's world will grow indistinct as she begins to cut off her breathing with a hold.]

[Your effort is in vain, Kazumi. Do you struggle?]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

*yes, she's struggling with that kind of strength you get when you're in a desperate situation...*

*but, lol, servants. Poor Kazumi...*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[She lets the blood and breath flow long enough for her to recover momentarily as she shifts around to put her in another hold]

[Do you continue struggling?]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

*she's going to struggle forever*
