Natsuya was back in his track suit as he sat waiting outside the dojo. The last school bell had just finished chiming a few minutes ago, meaning their training session was just about to start. But he’ll give her a few minutes, consider how she would have to change from the school uniform into sport clothes.

Today he had promised to give Nariko martial arts training. He met her in an underground fighting ring, he was there to fight while she was caught snooping around. Not the best position for a defenseless girl to be in. So Natsuya could understand where her motivation to fight came from.

Nariko hurried out the door of the classroom as the last bell of the day rang and school was officially let out. She left her school bag in the class and carried only her gym bag with her.
Being a Kaneshima student studying in Senki High for a few days while their boiler was getting fixed, she was both very impressed and a little envious of how great this school was compared to their own high school. Better facilities, better building, even the teachers taught better compared to their school.

She made her way to the locker room and changed into her gi, pulling her hair into a ponytail so it won't get in the way. Then she made her way to the dojo.
She spotted Natsuya waiting and waved to him. "Afternoon, senpai. Hope I didn't keep you waiting." She smiled and slammed her fist lightly into her palm, "Ready to begin when you are."

“Glad to see your prepared!” It was nice and refreshing to see someone so eager to learn. Natsuya stood up and curiously studied the outfit she was wearing. “I was under the impression that you haven’t had any experience in martial arts.”

As he waited for her reply, Natsuya walked away from the dojo and toward the track field. He turned around and motioned for her to follow. “Before we begin, let’s do a little warm up. I hope you like to run.”

"Hehehe" Nariko rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, blushing a little and grinning. "This is new...I bought it when you said you'd teach me." And indeed, it was awfully white.

"Running?" Nariko followed after Natsuya slowly. She made a face. "Not exactly my favorite sport." She sighed softly then gave a salute. "But I'll be a good student, senpai." She began to jog halfheartedly around the track.

“Great!” Natsuya was happy with her initiative and eagerness. He wonder if it would last until the end of their training session. Natsuya joined her in her jog and slowed his speed to matched hers.

“You decide how much to should run. When you feel like your body is tried and warmed up, let me know. Since it’s your body you decide the limits.” There were other ways of warming up but he chose running because he wanted to test her stamina. Before training her, he wanted to see what she was capable of. He wouldn’t want to stress her too far or else she would faint.

"So, have you have any experience with martial arts before this? I remember you said your dad is a police officer, did he teach you anything?" Natsuya asked starting up a conversation. Running itself could be a boring sport plus having some background with what he was working with wouldn't hurt.

"Got it," Nariko said as they began to jog lightly around the track. She looked at him in surprise. What he said made sense. "I'm surprised. I thought teachers liked to push students till they broke?" She joked.

"Does doing chores count?" She laughed. "Cause shoveling snow in the winter builds muscle!" She then grew serious and said with a small sigh, "My father has taught me basic self defense but nothing to write home about. He isn't keen on me learning fighting or being a police officer actually. Thinks it's too dangerous.
He wants me to be in a safe job but there is so much more I can do on the force." Nariko said, her pace increasing as they built up tempo, "There are so many people I can help."

She shook her head. "I want to make a difference, not be stuck in some office job."

They completed the first lap and started jogging on the second. Nariko glanced at Natsuya, "Those people you were fighting are in my school. Those people don't show up to class much but I see them around now and then. I think they're a gang." She sighed again, "While I don't really mess with such people, I don't want to run and hide if I'm confronted by them. I want to be strong enough to stand up to them."

They were now on the third round, "I don't want to feel powerless." Nariko said determinedly as she jogged, evening out her breathing as much as she could.
By the end of the third, she was beginning to feel tired. "Think I'm reaching my limit." She said, breathing hard.

“It would be a problem if those people start picking on you. Hopefully, we can change that before they confront you. But let’s hope they don’t. And you can always call on me if you’re in trouble.” With his past experience with gangs, Natsuya was sure wouldn’t do anything to Nariko, they have no reason too. But if they do, Natsuya felt a responsibility for the girl’s safety as her teacher and a human being.

Natsuya nodded and slowed to a stop when they reached the third lap. “That wasn’t bad, next practice we’ll do four. Go get a drink from the water fountain and come back to the dojo. We’ll do the basic and come up with a fight style that suits you.”

He began to make his way over to the dojo but turned around and added, “Think about how you want to fight while you drink.” With that, Natsuya headed toward the dojo and gave Nariko a few minutes of thinking time. When she was done, Nariko would find Natsuya in the middle of the dojo stretching.

"Yes, senpai." Nariko said as they stopped and she put her hands on her knees to catch her breath before straightening and heading for the fountain to get a drink.

That's really nice of Natsuya senpai to offer help. He's a good guy. Nariko thought, feeling both grateful and humbled by his consideration. She thought about what he said as she got a drink of water. How she wanted to fight, huh...?

When she entered the dojo, she found Natsuya stretching. She made her way inside, looking thoughtful. "About what you said... I don't know if this is the right answer but...I don't want to start a fight but if I'm caught in a fight I want to win it. So basically, I want to learn a defensive style but strong enough to win."

Seeing Nariko come in, Natsuya gestured for her to stand next to her while he nodded as she talked. “That’s a good. You shouldn’t pick needless fights, they’re a waste of your energy and self.” Natsuya paused, realizing the irony of his words. Most of the fights he got in, Natsuya initiate himself. Deciding not to say anything about it, he continued. “Counter attacks then. We’ll work with counter attacks, have you specialized in that. After you get the basics.”

Once she was standing next to him, Natsuya began to explain, “So the basics, it’s important that you understand them and master it. They’re about balance and grounding yourself. You can’t expect to send your opponents flying when you don’t have a good foundation. Firm feet on the ground apart, body and weight parallel to the ground- that’s the important part. Left feet a little forward from the right. Actually it doesn't matter where your feet is at. It’s about centering yourself.” As he explained, his body move through the movements, showing Nariko the positions. “Oh I forgot to ask, are you left or right handed?”

"Right handed," Nariko said, watching Natsuya closely then following his lead and mimicking how he stood.
She adjusted her feet placement till she felt she had a good footing on the ground. "I think this is good," she said.
Then out of curiosity she asked, "How long have you trained in fighting, senpai?"

he walked around her to check her posture, Natsuya answered her question. “Since I was five, before then I was practicing forms. Forms are also basics, they help with your movements but doesn’t involve fighting in terms of physical contact.”

“Now hands. They should be in a fist. Fingers tucked in, when you make contact it should be on your knuckles.” Then Natsuya moved to stand Nariko’s left. “Arms in front, bent. It should be ready to use, when you do punch make it straight- like it’s flying out. Your strength and speed should be exerted when you’re halfway to your target.”

Natsuya demonstrated with his right hand slowly. “Notice how my hips move to face my target as the same time as my hand. Stretched to reach your arm and turn your shoulder to reach your target.”

When Natsuya was done explaining, he move to stand an arm’s length away in front of Nariko. He placed his hands over his throat, his palm facing up. “When you’re aiming for someone, go for the throat. It does less damage to your hand while doing more damage to your opponent. Give it a try.”

Nariko listened closely, absorbing everything Natsuya was teaching her. The fact that Natsuya was a good teacher helped and made her feel relaxed which made learning easier. She followed his instructions, practicing a few punches, listening as Natsuya pointed out a few errors in her stance before she got it right.

"Ok!" Nariko nodded and hit his palm with a punch. There was a loud smack as her fist hit his palm hard. She realized in surprise that she barely felt the punch despite hitting very hard. "Ah! That works!" She said happily, then said, "But wouldnt the other person move to block?"

“Good.” Natsuya commented when her fist commented to his hand. “Once you make contact, you should pull back. You don’t want your opponent to grab your hand or be in range where they can counter attack.”

“If you keep practising, you will get fast enough to where it would be hard for you opponent to move or respond. But if they do move to block, then you just punch them again instantly. People tend to let their guard slip because they thought the attack is over. Now, let’s do that again but when your left hand. Same rules as the right hand.” Natsuya took a step back so that there were a little space between them. “This time you’ll have to take a step closer to reach me. But start stretching your arm before you take a step. When you get faster, it would look like doing it at the same time.”

[*bows many times* so sorry i forgot about this thread]

'Gotcha," Nariko said and did as he said. She pulled her arm back and took a step forward as she punched. Since she was right handed, her left punch was significantly weaker, however she quickly moved back so he couldn't grab her hand the way he had instructed her to do so.

"Like that, senpai?" she asked, feeling proud of herself.

Then she got a little idea and decided to try it out. She moved quickly to try to land a punch just to see how fast he'd react and then attempted to move back so he couldn't grab her hand.

Natsuya nodded, feeling the light impact on his palm. “Just like that.”

“Now, if you combine the two and perfect the punch. Left fist then let right fist, you would have a solid attack right that.” Natsuya said, stepping back. Then showed his moves slowly, taking a step forward and stretching his left arm then pulling it back as well as stretching his right arm. “Practice these basics and don’t forget to warm up your body.”

“Lets all it a day for now. You must be tired, which is understable since this is your first time.” Natsuya gave an understanding smile. “Get lots of rest. We’ll pratice again another day.”
