How to train you're Lioness

[Bare]

Reimu had been impressing Drasna so far with her dedication and exuberance. It was just the attitude that she had been looking for when she was seeking a student and with the girl's incredible strength it was just even more of a boon. Now after running the ropes Drasna wanted to test the girl's strength first hand and see what the upper limits of it were. So she told the girl to squat with Drasna on her shoulders!

Naturally Reimu was shocked and unsure about the rather radical idea but Drasna was unfazed. Largely because she was so sure in her reasoning for having Reimu do so. This being that Drasna would almost surely be the upper end of opponent's Reimu would have to worry about lifting while in LAW, so squatting her was actually a better means of improving her strength and then simple weights. Likewise it would better help the girl's endurance.

Luckily Reimu wasn't too perturbed by the idea to not do it and soon the girl would bend low and haul Drasna up rather impressively onto her shoulders. "Hehe lets say twenty for right now actually." Drasna would say as she then went dead weight, looking to afford her student as little help as possible, instead intent only only on testing how long she could lift up Drasna via squats.

Reimu's knees buckled slightly as she starts to lower into a squat while carrying Drasna over her shoulders. Even if she's confident with it, after running the ropes for quite a while. She could feel her exhaustion creeping up. After squatting down, she pushed herself to stand straight once more. "One..." Reimu huffed out as she completed one.

It was quite the sight, a small women carrying a bigger and heavier women over her shoulders. Reimu was determined to complete her trainer's request on completing twenty squats. Properly drawing breath in as she lowered to a squat, breathing out as she stand back up. If anything taught her in her weightlifting, it's that you have to take your time and go at it on your own pace. Don't go too fast or too slow.

Even then, Reimu could feel Drasna starting to weigh her down by the time she's halfway through... "Eleven..." Reimu grunted out as she raise to her feet. Her legs starting to give out, struggling to keep herself balanced... And as Reimu starts to lower herself for the next squat. Drasna could tell that there was quite a considerable pause from Reimu when she squatted.

"Nggghh.... Grrhhh..." Reimu grunted out, sweat running down her cheeks as she then starts to push herself up to her feet again... But then it happened, Reimu lost her balance and fell backwards! "Ah...!" Reimu let out as she slips and fell onto her back.

Instructing Reimu to do squats while Drasna was on her shoulders was certainly... unorthodox as far as training methods went. That was for certain. But it was a good way of testing Reimu's strength and endurance, not to mention get the girl used to carrying someone else's weight rather than a dumbell.

That being said though it wasn't long before Drasna noticed the signs of exertions and exhaustion from her student at around the halfway mark of what she set as the goal. 'Interesting.' Drasna thought to herself, surprised that, rather than groan or complain, Reimu was instead only interested in powering her way through, trying to reach the goal Drasna had set for her, though eventually the poor girl's legs gave up on her and she fell, along with Drasna back to the mat.

Sitting up Drasna would chuckle slightly before patting Reimu on the back. "More than halfway. Very good my dear. Though I think this may be a good stopping place for today." Drasna said gently while trying to help Reimu sit up, knowing she was likely exhausted from the exercises Drasna had put her through so far.

Reimu slowly sat up, taking long drawn out breaths as she felt all her muscles strained. She could tell by how much she exerted that she could improve if she keep this up and make this a routine. Sweat ran through her body as she glances back at Drasna. Letting out a slight smile as she praised her effort. But Reimu shook her head right after.

"Sorry sensei, I almost got to it..." She let out, showing some guilt that she didn't met the expected target. She was a bit prideful about her strength. And it felt like she didn't meet the expectations. "I... I feel like this routine you set up would make me much stronger! Just that um... I need some time to reach that target. I knew I can surpass it, but yeah..." Reimu then commented on what Drasna had put her through in this session. She then wiped the sweat off her forehead before she starts to get herself up to her feet.

"So um... That's it for today sensei?" Reimu asked again.

Drasna watched Reimu get up to her feet, feeling quite good about the girl's potential,especially with her training backing the girl. If she could just her speed and stamina even close to her raw power... Drasna was sure the girl would be a total monster in the ring. Realizing she was in a day dreaming daze though Drasna would focus back on her student when asked if that would be all and nodded to her. "Yes indeed! You've done quite well and from here on out this will be out go to training routine so I hope you're prepared!" Drasna said excitedly while nodding towards Reimu excitedly.
