10 Aiming Assis (1/2)
Since this was a training session, Joshua quickly altered the room to make it look they were outside on a grass field. He took a fighting stance, waiting for Catherine to make her move. She looked at him confused and said:
”I'm glad you so eager to learn, but I'm not sure what you're expecting me to do here.”
”Oh I see, we need to work on your tropes knowledge. Give me a second.”
Joshua created a piece of paper and wrote something on it and then handed it over to Catherine. She read it, her face adopted a weird expression and she asked:

”Hmm… Are you sure about this?”
”Yes, please!”
”If that's really what you want… Fine.”
She rolled her eyes and took a fighting stance. Before Joshua could react she appeared in front of him, punched him in the stomach, then did a roundhouse kick projecting him backward several meters. Joshua rolled on the ground for a moment and eventually came to a still, his face eating the dirt. Catherine came up to him and planted her foot on his head, pushing his face further down.
She took out the paper and read the lines, her face red of embarrassment.
”So little worm, do you understand how pathetic you are? As you are now even my dead grandmother could easily beat you. But don't worry, when I'm done with you, no one will dare to stand in your way.”
Joshua, his face still in the ground suddenly put one arm in the air and did a thumb's up. Catherine could hear muffled giggles coming from him and rolled her eyes.
”Are you some kind of masochist?” she asked, the whole situation had made her curious.
He finally raised his head with a big grin on his face and said:
”Not at all, it just felt appropriate. By making me feel completely worthless, you make me realize how much I have room for improvement.” he answered.
”But… you already realized that by fighting that snake.”
”.... Whoops. Oh well, that was fun anyway.”
He stood up and said:
”OK, enough fooling around. Let's get dangerous!”
”We should have started with this... Anyway, do you understand the difference between a first and second level technique?”
”Indeed”, she replied, nodding, ”For example, the boat I created today was a block of ice that I maintained for hours.”
”I can't exactly solidify lightning though…”
”True, but you've proven me several times you can be very creative. I'm sure you'll find something that suits you. I'll help you out if needed.”
”You're placing a lot of faith in my imagination. Aren't you afraid I'll make something weird?”
”A bit… but I'm starting to look forward to the next thing that will blow up in your face.” she said with a smile.
