You are one of the second class SOLDIERS and of course you still need to grow to become first class, and to achieve the result, you have to train too much. Your training became more intense, and all because of Sephiroth, who did not allow you to get even a drop of oxygen.
His technique as a first class SOLDIER was one of the best, there was no one who could make him sweat and it makes you want to become stronger, all in order to impress him.
His katana Masamune moved with superhuman speed just like the owner himself, your gaze could not focus due to several gusts of air heading towards you. Sephiroth was good, even too good, and this is one of the reasons why it was he who trained and guided you, his skills never fell and did not give you any chance of winning.
Even though you might not be strong enough to win during your training, you still didn't give up, continuing to train hard all the time.
And yet, only 20 minutes had passed, your breathing was heavy, but your strength was still with you, and Sephiroth, for him this is nothing, he could continue forever. But...when your blade moved in different directions towards a first-class SOLDIER, your mentor had a hard time. Sephiroth grinned seeing how eager you were to strike him, he looked down at you and his cat eyes stared at you intently.
"Not bad, puppy."
The gray-haired man praised you and you could have sworn that you saw him wipe a bead of sweat from his forehead.
