{Mission Details}
Mission name: Building on the Foundation
Participants: Tachibana Saya alone
Spawning?: 3X Wordcount Challenges (750~1000 words) to help Saya develop her general fitness even further.
Since she’s training athleticism, which is a ‘catch all’ for more specific skills, I thought the best way to do things would be for each challenge to be focused on a particular aspect (Strength, Endurance, Speed, etc.), providing her with overall training but nothing so specific as to raise any one skill to a remarkable degree?
Furthermore, since Saya’s training tends to be very ‘old school’, feel free to raid those sickly sweet classic montage moments from movies like Rocky or Anime like Dragonball for inspiration!
Mission details: A sort of RP ‘montage’ of Saya training herself to a new level, having recovered most of the prowess she had before being weakened by her transit through Ultra Space, she now seeks to improve upon her base level of abilities before focusing on specific areas of her skillset. Wanting to have a level of raw physical capacity she can mould with her sword training, when she has free time she has been setting out across the Faraday area where she lives to challenge and improve herself.
Skill Development:
Currently:- Athleticism – Minor
Fitness essential for any would-be combatant, the honed and toned Saya tends to exceed what one might expect from the average woman in regard to physical activity. Possessing a decent level of strength and stamina, one might be surprised to note the weights she might lift in the gym or come a cropper if they challenge her to a race without knowing that this slim and lithe body holds a lot of potential.
Attaining:- Athleticism – Major
Honing the temple that is her body even further, Saya by now can casually show feats of strength that would put all but the most fitness enthused men to shame and has high levels of endurance, being able to jog for hours without ever really becoming exhausted. More agile and flexible than before, Miss Tachibana’s training has helped her scale rocky walls and could easily use momentum and jumping ability to hop up to an upstairs window of a house with only a short run up. The tolerance for pain and discomfort she has also improving, she can now show the flexibility of a keen yoga practitioner without ever overstretching herself and can ignore wounds and small fractures when she has to.

“Hup!” Grunting as she caught a low hanging branch to carry her momentum over the path of a shallow but surging stream, after flinging her hips forward Saya lurched forward and landed with her knees bent, not missing a single beat as she raced forward and continued the rather dynamic ‘jog’ she was pushing herself through. Perhaps more in line with the workout of a free runner than anything but the awareness of such concepts not something that Miss Tachibana was gifted with, she ignored the slight discomfort that an uneven mix of grass and rock gave her ankles and calves as she ran across it before leaping forward and throwing her hands up to grab the side of a ruined wall.
You can do this! Groaning as she dug her nails into the time weathered stack of stone and pulled herself up with strength born largely in her arms and shoulders, the dark haired girl sighed in relief as she tugged herself over the top of the broken piece of an old building and then let herself fall over the other side, carrying her momentum through a roll and then sprinting off again without even giving herself a chance to catch her breath. The sound of her heartbeat hammering so hard she could almost hear it at the back of her throat, she launched herself toward a series of wet stepping stones a little further along the stream she had crossed the other way and hopped along them. However, it seemed she had finally reached her limit.
“Kya!” Giving a short mix of a gasp and a shriek as the last of these slippery obstacles proved to be her undoing, the foot of the femme slid just enough to throw her off balance and she got the sudden sensation of coldness flooding said appendage, she had little time to focus on the feeling as more of the crispness of the stream surrounded her. Falling to her hands and knees as the current of the fresh flowing water lapped around her up to her elbows and near the top of her thighs, Saya panted heavily before stumbling forward to pull most of herself from the water and falling onto her behind.
Feet still in the stream as she sat on the grass that grew next to it, after scooping up a handful of water to quench the hotness in her throat, Saya looked around herself a little bit dizzily and took in the ‘gymnasium’ she had adopted in the ruins of Faraday.
I’m more who I was, but I can still do better than this… Heart still pounding hard as she looked at the way that nature was steadily reclaiming what was once pieces of a settlement, she silently acknowledged how far she had come since being so weakened by her ‘voyage’ to Veria she could barely stand up, but knew she could achieve more if she pushed herself. Yumi waiting for her at home when she was done, Miss Tachibana wanted to polish herself as much as possible so she could protect and support her treasured roommate to the very best of her ability…
