At the moment that I stepped forwards to hit shindou sensei, my foot was swept away. Â I twisted my upper body to avoid falling on my back, so I landed on all fours. Shindou senseiâs foot grazed past the side of my head, and it landed on the floor. A vibration vibrated.
âOhh, good job.â
âNo, no, donât sandwich a head with the floor. The face is an actressâ life, so please go easy.â
For about an hour, I was sparring with shindou sensei. No time to take a breather, wearing sweaty training clothes, my heart beating loudly and violently, and my throat drying up, only now have I completely collapsed.
On the other hand, shindou sensei was standing and breathing normally. Heâs hardly moving.
I was beat, but shindou sensei moved suddenly, and I fluttered in midair. He did it repeatedly.
âYou are going easy, right?â
âWawa!â
This time I attacked shindou sensei. My hands were suddenly stretched from their natural position, and it seemed that my collar would be held, so I tried to escape. But, my feet were swept out from under me. When I was fluttering in the air, my wrist was grabbed, and this time I was hit in the back. I managed to defend with one hand, but at the next moment my heel of shindou sensei was on my throat, and he stepped on my feet lightly. If it was for real, my neck couldâve been broken, but, as itâs practice, he stopped.
âgeho, gehoâŚâ
âSince Iâm going easy on you, the practice is over. Well, itâs a good time to end today.â
âThank you very much⌠geho.â
I bow to sensei and the lesson is finished. When shindou sensei has no work, he teaches from 9 to the evening. There used to be many other lessons, so I didnât have the time to go here, but, recently, I didnât have anything that I wanted to learn in particular, so I come here more often.
Actorsâ heath is essential, is the number one most useful thing that shindou sensei taught me.
Since the other diciples come here after work, itâs at that time when the dojo gets lively. Before then, shindou sensei can teach me man to man, so I like to came at this time to learn more.
I think Iâll throw up after this.
âNana-chan, you must be tired. Want water?â
âAh, Yamashiro-san, thank you very much.â
He came a little while ago and was looking at our spar. Yamashiro-san gave me a cup of water. Thereâs a water jug in the corner of the dojo so the students here could freely drink at breaks.
Well, preparation is a job of a diciple, itâs a tacit understanding that the person who arrived earliest prepares. Today, Â I prepared everything since I was the first.
âAAaaahhhhh~~~, I was revived. Thanks for the drink.â
âLately, youâve been doing your best. Are you going to do an action movie?â
âNo, thatâs not the reason, I just want shindou sensei to teach me a little.â
âAhh, isnât that too early for Nana-chan? Besides shindou sensei, isnât there anyone else?â
âAh, I could probably do that.â
ââŚEh, really?â
âIâm serious. Well, itâs not useful in an actual fight, and I need to concentrate a lot⌠Should I try to do it for a bit?â
My disturbed breath became even in concentration. Without any indication, I moved strangely, and his eyes became puzzled. In one go, I went behind him! Behind Yamashiro-san, I tried to grab his belt, but I was noticed and thrown backwards.
âWh, at?â
âItâs amazing, you really can do it.â
I was thrown by Yamashiro-san, and, when my field of vision made a complete spin, I landed on the floor.
âAs I thought, itâs not usable in real fights⌠I can only do it when I move like sensei and only if I concentrateâŚâ
âAh well. It doesnât work if you know when it comes, but wonât it kill people without them knowing for the first ten minutes?â
âWouldnât itâŚ? Well, Iâm satisfied because it served itâs purpose.â
âYou can use it for a film?â
âEhh, it worked perfectly. I disappeared completely, though it was mostly thanks to the fact that it was dusk.â
ââŚA simple question, why didnât you use CG?â
âWell, I heard from shindou sensei that you could disappear with this technique in a joke he said; I didnât think that I really could do it. That sensei is a bit strange, isnât he?â
âI donât think that Nana-chan should say that to other people.â
