Miyazaki Hikaru vs Yamada Daisuke [Second Student Tournament Round 1]

[Uchiha Takeshi]

The roar of the crowd could be heard in the distance it was clear that they were getting hyped to witness the fight that would be taking place shortly. As cheers and whoops could be heard echoing around the stadium it would be the fighters turn to rock up and make sure they were prepared to enter in the arena. It was clear that the time had come to step in front of the crowd and prove themselves in that few seconds that they had. This could change their lives for ever and it could see them spotted by a specific branch and they could even be elected to join if they were lucky.

“We would like to welcome the entrance of our new fighters. Give them a huge cheer as they prepare to enter into the arena!”

The announcers voice would echo around the arena as the crowd would grow louder in that split second. It was clear that they were all craving to see the new participants enter and begin their fight it was clear that they were desperate to see what would come of this fight and wanted to see who would be going onto the next round.

With the representatives from each branch checking out the fighters it would be down to them to enter this fight. At each gate there would be done of the ANBU each of them trained to identify the fighter that would come to their gate and make sure that they were the correct person before even opening the gates. With the announcement made each of the ANBU would open the gates and allow the competition to see their first sights at what they would be fighting in.

At the gates opened they would be able to see a massive grass area that was open to the crowd, there was thousands of people staring at the two combatants as they waited to see what was happening in this situation. Some of them peaked over the edge to get a better look at the combatant and even some of them would mutter between themselves as coins passed between hands as bets were placed from what they could see in that first second.

There would be the referee in the middle of the arena waiting for the participate to come to the middle before speaking to them. His words quick and soft as he spoke to both deciding to keep it brief and keep to the rules of the arena that had been set out by the organisers of this tournament.

“I want you all to keep this a clean fight, nothing to make this problematic. Remember that you must win by KO that is the only place that you can win this fight. Good luck and let’s keep this simple”

That was the only words that were offered to each fighter before they would be given the signal to begin it was now clear. This was the student’s time to prove themselves worthy in the eyes of everyone watching. They had to make sure that they took this opportunity that was given to them and grabbed it by the hands.

- (♫) Now playing: "Spunky" (Makoto Stage Theme) arranged by Akito Bass​

The tasteless air of the waiting room flew in and out of Hikaru’s mouth with each leaden breath she took. She gazed blankly at the door opposite from the bench she had seated herself on, and her hands fumbled through the double-knot that would hold her headband on like dear life. The seal her aunt placed on her forehead disappeared behind the engraving of the Konoha Leaf, hopefully until the tournament had finished and she could go home. Luckily, it had proven easy enough to control- and, by extension, ignore- but she absolutely wanted to know more about what had happened that day before she thought about removing it. Her hands dropped to her sides, but at the slightest consciousness of a rising anxiety filling her lungs she stood, stretching and beginning to pace the room. Everything her eyes fell upon, from the posters advertising the village’s branches to her empty water bottle on the metal bench, reminded her that she shouldn’t be worrying about that now, that her first match started in less than 5 minutes. Her father was out there somewhere in that thundering crowd outside, and so were her friends. If there was ever a time for last-minute preparations, it was the last minute…

The Medical Chief gathered her scattered thoughts and adjusted her green robes, reviewing her own memorized notes on the nature releases and various kekkei genkai. Though she was loosely confident in her own ability, the abilities of others in the tournament, especially those from other nations, were too big of an unknown for her comfort. From the posters displaying the competitors that she had seen around the festivities on her way, there would be a few shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village, besides those from Leaf. Hikaru had always wanted to meet someone from a foreign land, although she truthfully didn’t expect it to happen quite like this.

She was distracting herself. Hurrying to resume her frantic review, the Mednin paced faster, but it was too late- a booming voice sounded from the stadium above, declaring that… it was time. Hikaru threw a glance at her water bottle, decided in a split second that she would retrieve it later, and started directly for the door. She stood before the gates to the stadium, too nervous to greet the ANBU presiding over them with anything more than a short nod. As they opened and she walked out into the sunlight, Hikaru kicked herself mentally for being so tense. She was a Medical Chief undergoing training in Battlefield medicine… if she couldn’t face a friendly multi-national tournament with her eyes forward, what would she do when it came to a real battle?

-​

The sun illuminated the massive coliseum in a bright, golden light, promising everyone in the rows of spectators a match to remember. Miyazaki Hikaru strode across the smooth grass, deliberately keeping herself from looking up at the stands and flicking her gaze around the flat arena instead. There were no obstacles to be seen, nothing on the lower walls save for a tunnel on the other side, identical to the one she had emerged from. She took in a breath, searching for her opponent. He was easy to spot- she didn’t recognize him, so he was probably a student or shinobi of Kumogakure. She took another deep breath. They met at opposite sides of the referee, and the Mednin only half-listened to what he had to say- until he mentioned the KO rule. The back of her neck grew cold. The only way out of this fight was either to be knocked out herself, or to manage to knock out a ninja she knew nothing about… it was all very real now. Her heart rate picked up as the referee retreated, but she stood up straight, giving her opponent a formal bow. “My name is Miyazaki Hikaru, Chief of the Konoha Medical Branch’s Combat Division.” It was clear that she was on the younger side for the job. “I’m looking forward to this- I wish us both luck.” And with that, the match had begun.

 

[Shinrya Kosuke]

It was another chance.

Since his entrance to the academy less than a year ago, he had battled only twice. He lacked much experience that others in the ANBU had, and a lack of experience could be deadly in the toughest of circumstances. Daisuke knew that he needed to practice against live opponents, and learn the extent of his abilities and what he could do as a still-green shinobi (no pun intended). To see how quick he was on his feet, how ready he was to fight until either he or his opponent could not stand.

That is why he sat on the bench in the arena waiting area, almost lounged across the seat yet completely still. He sat with an unnerving sense of peace and serenity, and could be mistaken for a statue if one looked for only a few seconds. His unguarded appearance did nothing to betray the thumping of his heart as he waited for his cue to begin his battle in these foreign lands. He wished someone, anyone, from Kumogakure had come to see his battle. He wished to not be a single cloud amongst the trees.

"We would like to welcome the entrance of our new fighters. Give them a huge cheer as they prepare to enter into the arena!" The resounding cheer that followed shook the arena, shook the bench that Daisuke was sat on as he stood. Truthfully, he felt naked without his mask, and he could feel the itch to summon it, but he refrained, and pushed his glasses a bit farther up his nose as he walked out and past the ANBU Guard and into the arena.

His eyes locked onto his opponent across the landscape. As they walked closer to the official in the middle, Daisuke's heart slowed and calmed as a breeze of fresh air caressed the fighters. He stood stock-still as they met the tournament referee, and his unblinking eyes never left Hikaru's.

"Yamada Daisuke, Genin. May the best village win."

[Sugihara Aki]

The air stretched cool and thin above the grassy arena as the referee gave the signal, leapt back to avoid the sparks that were about to fly. Hikaru returned her opponent’s sharp stare, rushing her mind to record as much information about this boy as she could before he made a sudden movement to attack, or perhaps to defend. The moments stretched immeasurably, magnified by the eager thunder of the crowd surrounding them and centered around the two that stood in the arena’s dead center. ‘May the best village win…’ Though she didn’t see the tournament as a contest purely between villages, she was perfectly glad to adopt the sentiment. A little friendly competition would be a great way to meet the Cloud ninja, she felt, and it also served her main goal for the event- to prove to herself and to everyone watching that she deserved her title of Medical Chief. To prove that her training wasn’t for nothing, to prove that those who had helped her reach this point hadn’t been wrong. Perhaps even to prove that Medical Shinobi could kick butt too.

[OOC: Actions sent! Looking forward to a good fight.]

 

[Shinrya Kosuke]

A small smile caused the corners of Daisuke's lips to turn up as Hikaru returned his stare. He had become used to other shinobi in Cloud, how they looked at him and one another to try and assess some rudimentary level of strength. It was a good skill to learn, and could help one react accordingly based on their opponent's perceived strength, or weakness. But it was a skill that Daisuke had neglected to master, and instead trained himself to the opposite - to hide his strength and weaknesses, make it difficult to assess. He stood with an easy, left-foot-forward stance that betrayed not a single bit of tension in his body, entirely still as a trained surgeon's hands. His dark, nondescript gear made it difficult to figure out what he had up sleeve, as he had taken special care to make everything look either flat, or amorphous. His eyes remained locked on the woman's, and moved not a single millimeter until he simply slipped into motion.

[Sugihara Aki]

For a moment, the noise of the crowd didn’t reach Hikaru- the first moment of battle, the one that always seems to last for so much longer. The air tightened with Wind pressure, a warning for her opponent should he try to attack her without thinking. At the same time, she narrowed her focus, locking eyes with Daisuke. He didn’t seem eager to give too much about himself away. In a flash, her Precision Gloves appeared in her hands, the fruits of quite a few hours of training with close combat. Her right hand flickered forward, launching a strike at the boy even as she saw him shift his stance. The punch missed its mark, a little unexpectedly, but Hikaru recovered, watching how he moved to avoid the attack. Looking for a pattern, since it was her best bet against an unfamiliar opponent. He shifted again. Instantly once more, her gloves were gone, replaced by a swirling layer of Photon chakra that lit up the walls of the arena. If there was one thing the Mednin was thankful for, it was that speed with which she could switch between weapons. As the Sunbeam Gloves finished forming, she threw another punch, stumbling forward as she tried to take a step. Daisuke avoided it, slightly less surprisingly this time, and Hikaru’s fist struck the ground. She whirled around, taking in a breath and searching for her opponent- but he was gone.

She leapt backwards, limiting the amount of open space around her. Her back was to the wall.. How poetic. Hikaru flicked her gaze across the grass once more, but her opponent was nowhere to be seen. Clenching a fist to remain calm, she struck her hand against the ground like striking a match, and a wide circle of flames sprung up around her. The ring radiated a soft heat- her control of Fire release wasn’t perfect yet, but it wouldn’t start igniting the grass around it at least. The Medical Chief took a moment to think. Daisuke was concealed somewhere in the arena, that she was reasonably sure of… although as for his exact location she had no idea. She was going to need range and destructive power, preferably with elements she was familiar with. Jabbing a series of handseals into the air, Hikaru molded Fire release chakra into a trio of clones, who fanned out inside the confines of the flames, watching each direction. The moments marched past, filling her mind with unease. Her opponent could be doing any number of things right now… but he hadn’t bothered to attack her once, and she didn’t see a way he could pass through the flames without getting hurt. What was he up to? Her mouth formed a nervous line, and she wrapped thin column of air around her arms to widen her jutsu’s range. She hated to have to address it before even getting hit once, but she was mentally prepared to lose this fight, as long as she was able to learn something. Crouching inside the circle of fire, Hikaru waited.

[Shinrya Kosuke]

Right as the battle began, Daisuke would sink into a fluid stance that seemed to avoid light. Perhaps that was the reason why he was able to slightly shift his body out of harm's way as he let Hikaru's attack strike thin air. His fluid 'dance' seemed to move only faster after that, as it obviously seemed like Hikaru was not particularly patient when it came to battle. He used this to his advantage, and waited until her next strike to sidestep and vanish into thin air.

His eyes remained lock onto Hikaru from some unknown, hidden vantage. A quick set of handseals were performed, seconds before a Ring of Fire sprung about around his opponent. "I hate arena jutsu," was the only thing that flickered through his mind as a trio of elemental clones formed from the fire. Now somewhat annoyed at the situation his opponent had put them in, a new set of handseals caused shadows to slowly cloak Daisuke, and his stance moved to become a bit more cat-like and predatory.

[Sugihara Aki]

​

The flames licked at the ground around Hikaru’s feet. She crouched by the edge of the ring, steadying her breathing and gathering her thoughts. She ceased the flow of chakra to her hands, causing the Sunbeam Gloves to fade, and sent a jolt of energy coursing through her body as a precaution. As it turned out, she felt something fading- the Cancel technique had been a good call, then. It concerned her that her opponent had been able to place her under a Genjutsu without her knowledge, but unfortunately worrying about it wouldn’t help her here.

The Mednin stood up, glancing around at her clones. If she wanted the best chance to knock Daisuke out into the open, she’d have to cover as much space as possible… her right hand draw a pattern of seals, and four shadowy Hikarus formed from the grass. They lurched into a standing position one by one, then gradually their outlines sharpened until their reflexes matched her own. Hikaru stood in the midst of her newly-created legion of identicals, turning back towards the direction she had last seen her opponent. Without warning, a bright blue wave crashed into the side of the flames, extinguishing them without much trouble. One of the shadows was caught in the deluge as the rest of the Hikarus leapt away unharmed, but without their fiery wall of safety. Daisuke was still nowhere to be seen- there was no disturbance in the area the water had come from, nor anywhere the original could see. He was way too good at fighting defensively… if she wanted to have a chance to win this, she’d have to go on the offensive quickly before she was cornered like that again.

Swapping the positions of her and her clones, Hikaru ran across the field, watching as many directions as the group of them could manage. Her Sunbeam Gloves reformed, and she launched a kick at a rustle in the grass ahead, stopping short so she landed neatly on her feet. The shadows fanned out, sweeping the arena with their elongated strikes. Her plan was to force him towards the wall so that she could land an attack there- as soon as the shadows made their moves, she tore a cone of raging wind directly at the spot where Daisuke should have been. The gale didn’t meet anything on its way to crash on the edge of the arena, but just as it had reached the end, one of the shadow’s pulses seemed to pass through more than just air. Nobody appeared- she had just grazed him, or he had slipped away just in time- but it was progress. She herself was completely unharmed, not counting the negligible fatigue from the Genjutsu. Whittling down her focus even more, she scanned the wall for movement as her clones threw a volley of fire.

[Sending actions soon! Thanks for answering my questions, Owly]

 

[Shinrya Kosuke]

Daisuke was good at waiting games. He had found a certain peace in patience, in the slow build of tension until one person inevitably missed their cue. He simply had to be sure that he was not the one that did, as it could sometimes have unfortunate consequences. Such as the same ones Hikaru had - the Ring of Fire was an interesting move, but unfortunately one that was not only easily countered from the shadows, but also lead to the undoing of one of her many creations. The pair of shockwaves snuffed out the ring, and then one of the multitude of the other shinobi - one of the few he could not tell the difference between, which caused his nose to twitch twice in irritation. He meant to hit her.

He saw through her transformation jutsu, and watched as she struck at what appeared to be some movement in the bushes that was certainly not him, and she was soon followed suit with her creations. It seemed she had no real strategy to dealing with him, past random strikes into the air until she got him out of pure luck.

She almost did - after he had summoned a Nightmare, and after he had committed to a slashing Taijutsu, a small misstep almost sent him right out of the shadows. He was getting sloppy.

No longer protected by the circle of fire, Hikaru took no time to rest. The Sunbeam gloves flew off her arms in a shower of light. As beneficial a position as she was in with her group of clones, there was always the chance that it wouldn’t be enough. She had to be careful- with a single handseal, the air around her body swelled with heat, just enough to deter attacks even further. In an instant, the gloves were back, and she struck out in the direction of the wall, instructing the clones to flank her sides. Her eyes scanned the wall, trying to distinguish a stray detail from any potential movement.

On the left, the Mednin caught a flash of gray out of the corner of her vision. Before she had time to turn her head, two of the Fire clones had burst into smoke and vanished. Immediately, another attack appeared from thin air, cleaving through the final clone and soaring towards her side. A wooden Kawarimi target fell from her pouch in a split second as Hikaru activated the Body Switch technique, sliding hurriedly under the swing that bisected the target instead of her. It was a scarily close call, and her Fire clones were gone.

Caught off guard, she couldn’t counterattack. Leaping away, she kept her eyes on the exact spot, moving her remaining shadows to cover her retreat. Suddenly, the scenery moved, and the closest shadow was there a heartbeat later. It was off by the slightest bit, but it was enough- the distorted air faded with the punch, revealing Daisuke, finally, exactly where she knew he’d be. For the first time since the beginning of the match, she looked her opponent in the eye, her mouth widening in a hopeful smile. Two sharp fists soared at him, the first scoring the edge of an arm. She was on the board.

There was no time to celebrate, though, and the shadows retreated in the same way she had.

Before they could make it, the first was seized in the jaws of a massive ebony beast, shattering its form instantly and melting back into the ground. Monumental as it was that she could now see who she was fighting, the battle was very far from won. Hikaru narrowed her eyes- she wanted to concentrate her next attack on Daisuke, the Nightmare would have to be ignored. Wind spiraled up at her feet as she focused a wide current around her target. At the moment of impact, she paused, just to wait for the same dodging maneuver she had barely pulled off earlier. Somewhat to her surprise, it came- her opponent reappeared a few meters away- and she wrapped the hurricane around the spot instantly.

Standing back to catch her breath, she observed the results. While her eye was on the Nightmare, out of nowhere, something bit into her side. Daisuke appeared right in front of her and delivered a second strike, vanishing into thin air the split second after. Hikaru felt around the wound, diagnosing its condition in rapid-fire- not only had he cemented his own first hit, but she felt an unnatural buzzing alongside the sting. It had likely affected her chakra network as well, and though it wasn’t severe, the effects wouldn’t end with just a pair of cuts in her robes. The two remaining shadows fanned out again, unable to find him, and as they did so the Nightmare picked off its second victim. Panicking a little that she was losing track of her opponent again, Hikaru formed a pair of seals and drew a deep breath. She waited a moment, then exhaled, releasing a dark purple cloud of mild poison. The haze spread quickly, keeping low to the ground to avoid affecting the spectators. Though she hadn’t had much of a plan when she decided to use it, Daisuke had to escape the cloud somehow, and he did- very fortunately for her, he left a trail through the smoke, revealing exactly where he was.

The haze seemed to clear. Effects from the Tempest technique she had used earlier were still hindering her opponent, but the Nightmare… was turning into a problem. She glazed around at the arena and the growing destruction that followed them around. She only had one shadow left, too...

Another twitch of Daisuke's nose betrayed his mild irritation. He could notice the Immolation Armor from a mile away, as much as he used it in the past. It was a much stronger counter to his attacks than the Ring of Fire, and the only move he could do to combat it was to simply use non-melee attacks. Interesting enough, however, was that he had never fought against Immolation Armor with his current skillset. He had no idea how much damage he would take from the pure heat that emanated from Hikaru's body, it could be easily shaken off. He simply had to test it out.

But first, the clones and creations. They continued to irk him. They outnumbered him and his Nightmare a little over three to one, and the sheer multitude of attacks they could output could put him in danger.

So he removed them from the equation. Someone with greater awareness would be able to hear the subtle whirls and whips of his clothing and limbs, and the whistle of chakra blades as they sliced through the air as he spin between a pair of clones. He sliced them neatly in half, before he sunk back into the shadows... Only to reappear almost instantly with a similar flurry, and another clone's head severed before his blade cut into the wood of a kawarimi target. Hikaru might hear a small chuckle as he disappeared again.

He had set his Nightmare on the shadow creations, and so he was caught off-guard as a punch launched right where he was. His dodge caused him to stumble slightly, enough that a second creation was able to deliver a blow that glanced off of him right before he dodged the third's strike and the first creation to strike was completely torn apart by his beast wrought of shadows. "About time, jeez," he thought, before he was suddenly hit with a small cyclone.

As he hissed in pain, he still left Hikaru hardly any time to recover from that casted jutsu as he lunged at her. His body and blades traced the outline of a lotus flower as he struck the woman, accompanied by a surge of chakra into her form just as he slipped back into the shadows immediately to watch the last two shadow servants strike futilely at the air, and one of them to be torn in half by his shadow beast.

The lack of attention caught him nearly blasted by a breath of what seemed to be poisoned air that he only barely dodged, but he felt Hikaru's eyes snap onto him immediately, just as he felt the final effects of that damned wind jutsu.

"You caught me twice. It will be much more difficult to catch me again."

Notes:

Notes: I missed a CP and an HP, so those are corrected at begin of the round in case you both wonder where that HP / CP drop came from. Excuse me for that little miss. Hikaru notes: Your shadow servants didn’t have the time to do basic strikes. You didn’t have the time to cast your last jutsu. Your conditional couldn’t go off due to the fact you aren’t aware of the genjutsu. (it was cast in stealth.) Daisuke’s notes: » Momentum is +2 Huge update due to the fact one thing was overlooked, Daisuke you couldn't get your combo in due to the bind. through copy-paste, the colors faded... I am sorry this round no colors brain is mush.

 

[Sugihara Aki]

For the first time between trading attacks, Daisuke said something, likely not caring about giving away his position since she could see him clearly. Though she didn’t want to waste what little time she had to think, the Mednin called back with a grin, “That’s a pretty bold claim! Is there an ace up your sleeve?”

Hikaru moved without a plan of any kind. All that passed through her mind was the same assertion: don’t let him disappear. As surprisingly effective as covering wide ground had been, her best chance at victory would only be possible if she could pin her opponent down. She tugged the cloth of her Precision Gloves over her hands and launched herself towards him, closing the distance with adrenaline-fueled speed. Her left leg lashed out, knocking him backwards. She followed up with a sharp jab. The punch struck its mark squarely, and she slipped behind him, seizing his back and literally pinning him to the ground. The earth rumbled underfoot, even as he blurred his presence again.

Though he managed to wrestle free from her hold, he couldn’t escape her watch now. With her vision locked onto his every footfall, four more shadows sprung from a handseal, circling around her and staring expressionlessly at the Nightmare. It was still being a pain, but she didn’t have time to try to destroy it now. Though the beast hit her side rather squarely itself, it didn’t matter- she had found Daisuke again. Still thrown a bit off-balance, she tried an Energy attack that just missed him while her shadows struck simultaneously. Only one managed to graze him, but the damage was enough. As long as she didn’t let him get comfortable, she’d be fine.

Quickly, however, he caught her with a slashing uppercut combo- two stinging slices, followed by a very dangerous-looking third that she narrowly avoided. As she put distance between the two of them again to prepare for a counterattack, the Nightmare struck her once more, and she let out a muted grunt. She hadn’t sustained heavy damage, but it began to dawn on her that she had no easy way to counter an all-out offense.

A bead of sweat fell from Hikaru’s face. Her opponent was finding more and more openings…

[Sending actions! Sorry for the wait ]

 

[Shinrya Kosuke]

This fight was going too long. Daisuke was not built for battles of attrition in the slightest, and it was starting to show - he had made more than a few stupid mistakes, and it had begun to cost him as he felt more and more pain in his limbs.

He had to end this quickly, or be finished in this tournament in only the first round.

Notes:

Hikaru; Some of your actions couldn't happen due to timers changing. Daisuke’s notes: » Momentum is +1 To both: As agreed by both, thank you, you have 72hrs. this round to get actions in. =) Any question or remarks, please to my DM box on NC not through Discord as we can paper trail this easier that way, however, I am unable to reply on Wednesday Morning/afternoon due to work. Also, you were test subjects again XD Please let me know if this made it easier to read the mod yes/no.

 

[Sugihara Aki]

Another deep breath. The moments were dragging on… if she had to pick, the smart thing to do would be to rush in and attack while her opponent’s defenses were down. She sent a jolt of chakra through her body, once again as a precaution, and skimmed the battlefield for a sight of Daisuke. However, he was gone- always able to slip out of her range, that one. Hikaru drew her gloves, a familiar action by now, and her body flickered in the direction she had last seen him. Nothing. With a rapid movement of her hands, she had changed weapons. Another punch soared through empty air, just covering distance, as she shifted her body to land with both feet on the ground. If she wanted to find him again, she’d have to-

A flash of heat to her left. The chakra she’d cloaked herself in had hit something- and a split second later, two streaks of splitting pain erupted from the same side. With no time to react, the same pattern of attacks hit her again, and she stumbled backwards in the opposite direction. Her vision clouded for a moment. Both her shadows and Daisuke’s were circling where she had been moments before, but she paused to assess the severity of her wounds. By her judgement, she was close to half of her stamina remaining… which hopefully meant that her opponent was as well. Her heart still pounding wildly, Hikaru launched herself at the spot he had been, trying to pin him down again. A great lunge, and she skidded to a stop empty-handed- but not without catching a swirl of dust where he landed. The light from her photon chakra illuminating her grin, the Mednin dipped towards her opponent in an unnatural motion and delivered a lightning-fast kick to his back. Finally, she could see him again… she was getting good at this.

Hikaru hopped over a stretching shadow from Daisuke, careful not to put too much distance between them this time. She flashed a series of hand signals to her shadows. Forming a circle, they each took turns striking as the rest narrowed the distance between them; they were closing him off. And it worked- one landed a hit, followed by a wicked blow from the next.

The circle dispersed as they leapt back. The needling pain coming from beneath the nicks on her arm began to worry her, and with a glance to each of her shadows, she decided to try another ring of fire. A few handseals later, the flames jumped up around her once more. As she caught her breath, slower than it had come before, she withdrew a small bottle of pale green liquid from her pouch. It was… basically worse-tasting coffee, and she hadn’t had all that much practice making it yet. But it had shown some helpful effects for one’s energy levels, so she took a sip just in case. The plant-y flavor was the least of her concerns right now.
