Waiting...(public)

"even then." i say. "even if you have decapitated him you must never let your guard down."

"next you try to land a hit." i say. "and ill try to block."

i block easily. " I don't let my guard down. and don't hit with the flat, these are practice swords, you couldn't hurt me if you tried."

"next lesson." i say as a swarm of butterflys appear from nowhere. "learning to fight with distractions." i give her a couple good whacks. but she blocks a few of my swings.

this goes on for a while. she gets a few good swings in but i am a master and so i easily block them all. "enough for today," i say as the butterflies remaining seemingly vanish into thin air. "I dont want my pupil too badly bruised. you're learning quickly. tomorrow i'll have a really good test ready."

"I'll be looking forward to it. and just so you know i can teach you how to shoot a bow as well. dont worry it wont be nearly as painful as the sword training." i say.

i quickly nock and shoot off five arrows in as many seconds. they all hit the center if not an exact bullseye. "A samurai is trained to be able to shoot in the eyeholes of opponents even on horseback from a hundred meters away. can you shoot like that. from what i saw when i walked in i dont think so."

"and i can teach you to unlock your potential is all im saying," i say.

I sigh. "Okay, I guess so."

OOT: So should we just say that it is the next day or something?

The next day
after finishing my preperations i wait for the arrival of sabrina.

"okay. and you?" i say. "we have a full day ahead of us i hope you're ready."

"good. todays lesson is facing off against multiple opponents." i say with maybe the barest hint of a smile.

"technically they'll all be illusions that will disperse with one hit. but still it will take one hit. shall we begin?" i ask.

"good," i say, "lets begin."
suddenly a swarm of butterflys appear from all around and group into three vaguely humanoid shape.
"good luck." i call as they close in on the girl.
