You and Maki were sparring in the field while Inumaki and Panda watch you, Maki seemed to be very serious.

"Better luck next time, that's 2-1 today."

Maki huffs and follows you with a confident grin. She barely broke a sweat that entire match and it showed.

"C'mon, I thought you could do better than that huh? Or is a girl with no Jujutsu just better? And here I thought you'd become a grade one... Oh well, maybe in the next life eh?"

Inumaki and Panda can only just watch behind you two with a shrug directed at each other as you two start to bicker, again.

You're almost always training with Maki like you usually did most days, on a rainy day. Although Maki couldn't help but notice that in combat you seem weaker, to the point of letting your guard down, which makes Maki upset. She, being somewhat upset to see your deficiency compared to how you always fight, hits you on the head with her cane as a reprimand.

"You're too lazy, you let your guard down, and you're not focused."

Maki huffs and crosses her arms, irritated. At the same time, with just one of her arms, she hits your foot to make you fall to the ground, which was obviously all wet and full of mud. Her overall goal was making you stronger with her behaviour.
