Description

Tori took a deep breath as she hooked up her 3d movement gear making sure to make the adjustments she’d monitored during the initial practice with the gear set. She jumped up and down a bit to make sure everything was fitting right and took a deep breath as she walked over to join the other trainees. The last few tests weren’t a race...this one though….this was the real test. A battle against the other trainees around, who was the fastest, the strongest, the most precise. It would all come down to this...her hands sweated slightly and her knees quivered, not out of fear, but out of anticipation. This was the moment she got to see if all of her training paid off or not, it was now or never. She thought gripping the blade handles tight and focusing, she waited for the mark patiently and the moment they were free to go she was off. Her feet took off from the ground and she felt her body lurch forward from her hips leaning into that sweet spot to keep her balance she raced for the first target. Her golden whitish hair flicked back and forth as her lips pursed tight she spring boarded off a thick branch launching straight for the target she twisted midair a pirouette of blades as she slashed open the target block before straightening back out and rocketing for the next target. Someone zoomed over her and she gritted her teeth turning around and baring straight for the next target there was no time to slow down.

Someone got to that one before her so she turned quickly orange eyes scanning around for the next target she saw a few others close behind and slightly ahead of her so she went ahead to the next rather than fighting over one or getting tangled up in some wiry mishaps that were bound to happen. She sprung back and forth quickly as she made it to the next target blade digging through the back of the neck she released her wires and headed right on for the next her body getting use to the pressure and tension on her hips and through the rest of her body. The whole time in the back of her head she kept reminding herself that despite being part of the training this was still nothing like fighting real colossi...nothing like it at all. These targets didn’t fight back, they didn’t regenerate when you struck wrong, they didn’t snatch people out of midair and devour them whole. This was not a game. Those words echoed through her mind the whole time pushing her to be as fast and precise as she could. She’d made so many promises in the past few weeks...and she’d be damned if she was gonna start breaking them just because of some lackluster training assignment performance.
