Chapter 12 - Early Morning Practice
(Ryokan Inn)
(Leon...Zzz POV)
"Leon wake up you blasted Olaf!" Leonidas yelled "Oww!!" I yelled covering my chest "We got to practice today up and duty!" Leonidas yelled, "I know I know..." I said getting up...
Yesterday was eventful I almost spend time with everyone I need to recheck later... I also remember I promise to walk with Chika to school today so kinda glad Leonidas woke me up a bit early...
Anyway, it's time for some early practice...I yawned stretching myself for a bit walking for a bit observing my surroundings Ruin and Leonidas in their rookie forms beside me stretching for a bit too...
(Unicharu Walkway)
"Hiiii!!" ??? yelled (...Oh god) I thought flinched "M-Mari!?" I asked shocked "Over here!! Good morning Rainbow student Leo-ki!" Mari yelled, "You still calling him that??" Kanan asked, "Oh Kanan too??" I asked confused put Ruin down "We heard of what happened you two okay?" Kanan asked concerned "Yeah we are much better with enough rest just decide to well get quick practice before meeting up with Chika," I said confused expression "Ah that's good," Kanan said smiled "So what are you two doing?" I asked confused didn't notice their clothes "We are about to take a morning jog" Mari said smiled "Jog you say?" I asked confused expression "I usually take jogs myself but Mari decides to come with me this time," Kanan said sweatdrop "Ah practicing before the summer festival??" I asked confused "Not really this is a common thing I do keep my stamina and strength up for training every day. So I put aside time for it once in a while" Kanan explained "Plus breakfast tastes so much better! After you do a workout every morning!" Mari yelled "Not bad maintaining your physical prowess. I should have expected from Aqours" I said chuckled "It's not that special or anything just a normal workout" Kanan said sweatdrop "Ooh I know you can run with us!" Mari yelled "Wha?!" I yelled flinched "Come on you're not scared of losing to girls are you?" Mari asked grin "...Uhhh no I actually did lose to a girl before...back when I was overseas she was one experience fighter and runner I have ever seen..." I said awkwardly chuckled "Mari he has to do other training anyway besides running..." Kanan said sighed "Well jogging can't hurt that bad I won't use my abilities," I said "Wait are you serious!?" Kanan asked shocked "Yep I'm ready to go!" I yelled smiled "Alright if you say so remember no powers," Kanan said grin "You're on," I said smiled "...Oh boy..." Leonidas said sweatdrop "Ruin and Leonidas you two better try at least jogging come on if not no desserts!" I yelled "NOOO!!" Both yelled "Then keep up" I said smiled "R-RIGHT!!" Both yelled, "Okay let's go together!" Mari yelled "Try to keep up off we go!" Kanan yelled, "No you don't!" I yelled jog after them...
"Wow...I should have expected from someone like you Leon" Kanan said still jogging "I'm more shock of you Kanan to be able to do stuff like this aha if you enhanced you would be probably one strong individual!" I yelled amazed "You think so?" Kanan said giggled "This is so fun!" Mari yelled "...Ughh" Leonidas said not far but close to us while Ruin jogging a little behind Leonidas observing the scenery...
*1 Motivated Workout Later*
Kanan and Mari were incredible though it makes me realized I was able to be fit even without my abilities though even if there's life without powers I would probably still be the same...
Then again I wouldn't be able to save many people as I have before...
"I guess this why I got my ass beat I can't catch up..." Leonidas said annoyed "Hey at least this practice," I said smiled "Practice my ass! I should zap you out of your powers!" Leonidas yelled "I mean if you want to," I said confused "I was kidding ugh still hate you," Leonidas said as I help him up Ruin was jogging in circles backflip "Here's some water don't drink too fast," Kanan said nervously chuckled "Okay," Both said as I watched them...
"Here's one for you Leon," Kanan said smiled "Thanks Kanan," I said "That's the spirit!" Mari yelled "Huh?" Both asked with a confused expression... "Let me have a sip!" Mari yelled, "D-Don't you have your own???" I asked flinched "Mari what are you trying to pull?!" Kanan yelled, "Oohooo I hope you didn't drink out of that bottle Kanan are you trying to indirectly kiss Leon here?" Mari asked sly smirked ".....WHAAAT?!" I yelled shocked expression "WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!" Kanan yelled growled "K-Kanan?!" I yelled trying to hold her back from Mari "...Uh oh," Ruin said sweatdrop "Uhh," Leonidas said both watching sweatdrop...
"Well enough of that I was distracted a little," Mari said looked off the scenery "I caught you slacking halfway of the jog," Kanan said sighed "I was so busy thinking about the choreography for the Bon dance I couldn't help it!!" Mari yelled "The Bon dance?" I asked confused "We're doing Bon Dance for a contest at the summer festival and it's gonna be an original piece. Mari and I are in charge of the preparations" Kanan explained "When we finish with the choreography, we are going to upload a video for reference. We are going to open a choreography at the school too!!" Mari yelled "The Bon dance...A dance that's the staple of summer festivals. To come with new choreography for such a prestigious dance would be difficult...That's amazing!" I yelled stunned "I'm feeling refreshed thanks to all this sweating and I've come up with a very nice idea! Want to see it Leon-ki!?" Mari yelled "...W-What?! You have the energy to dance??" I asked shocked...
Mari has the energy to...be fully bundle of endless energy, both in her ways, she talks about her personality and physically...
"If it's Numazu festival we need to give it some Numazu flavor! Like yummy fish, or at Mt.Fuji!" Mari yelled "...Uhh," I said sweatdrop flinched "You put on the twitching fish and the dynamic impact of Mt.Fuji into our routine. And then you get moves like... BOOM! BAM!" Mari yelled "That's a little too intense...That's more than what'd we perform at a live show. How about we tone down the movements a little...?" Kanan asked concerned "Huh? I think it was a good idea...How about you Leon-ki?!" Mari yelled "Wha? You want my opinion??" I asked confused expression "That's a good idea we need an extra opinion on this" Kanan said "All I can really think about how amazing it is you can dance even through an intense workout session," I said sweatdrop "Come on Leon-ki! I won't get mad, don't hold back! Lay it all onto mama Mari!" Mari yelled "..." I flinched as Leonidas and Ruin confused still eating fruit while watching...
"Don't pressure him like that Mari..." Kanan said sighed "L-Let's see...the big movements will be easier to understand. Kids and elders shouldn't have a problem remembering them that way" I said "Personally I don't think Numazu as having a dynamic or high power to it. It's more like a majestic guard that protects us" I explained my thoughts "I see...getting outside opinions is very important, if it's just us critiquing each other, then it's no different to live show training" Kanan said sweatdrop "My opinion actually helped??" I asked confused expression "Of course! Let me give you a big thank you hug!!" Mari yelled "AGH?! TOO TIGHTTTTTT!!" I yelled flinched (She's may be smaller than me but damn...her grip actually hurts...If I was in Aerial Burst Form it would be a little different...) I thought sweatdrop "M-Mari you must stop that! You have to learn self-restraint!" Kanan yelled "Oh, sorry Kanan! It's unfair of me to deny my dance partner a hug too! Huguuuu!!" Mari yelled "T-That's not what I meant!! And it's too hot for hugs anyway!!!" Kanan yelled...
Thus ending morning practice...
