MAN, that was a great sleep! Maybe I should sleep here instead of a bed IRL. Might get better sleep. Anyways, was in the middle of making sure Summer doesn't die in the future. Shit, now I wish I actually watched the series and not just read fanfiction; then I would know how. All we can do now is hope & make her git gud.

Stepping out of the mirror, I do a couple of stretches.

"SUMMER! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

No response. Eh, probably used to sleeping in. Extra 2 hours of practice for today. Now, to go find her…. System? Can you help out?

She should be a ways away behind you. Also, she tried to sneak into The Inverse, but backed out.

Huh. guess she just wanted to see what it was like. Anyways, I can see a….. Okay, to call that a tent is blaspheme to campers globally. What even. It looks like a 6 year-olds pillow/blanket fort. She should be better than this.

"Oi, get up."

Nothing but snoring answers my request.

Alright, it's big brain time.

Using my rather neglected Liquid affinity, I draw out a ball of air moisture and roll it on in like a bowling ball.

Not half a minute later the tent is shredded.

"YOU JERK! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

"Class was in session roughly a minute and a half ago."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "cLaSS WaS iN sESsiOn A mINuTe aND a HAlF aGo"!?

"Started as soon as I woke up."

"...I'm not one to cuss, but your a piece of crap, you know that?"

"Oh dear, I am shook, how is it that such a fair Rose as thee can have such sharp thornes?
"You've seen nothing yet."

"Someone's sassy tonight."

"Well, SOME people want to get good, quality sleep."

"If you can gripe, you got enough sleep. Anyways, I think your good enough with decapitated fighting. Moving on: fighting without a weapon."

"Wait, seriously? Fighting Grimm without a weapon is-"

"Entirely unrelated to this class. This is not about fighting Grimm. You learned that already. This is about fighting PEOPLE, CRIMINALS who wish to hurt not just YOU, but OTHER PEOPLE. As retarded as it the concept is, people WON'T automatically band together in the face of a common enemy. As such, you need to know how to fight back. Not necessarily KILL them, just keep THEM from killing YOU."

"Thats- ….Actually, I- ….Are you really a kid?"

"Yes." This body's physical age IS 12.

"So, what? Are you gonna teach me some kinda martial art? OH, are you gonna teach me to judo flip people?!"

"No, but I will be teaching you how to capitalize easily spot a weakness and how to capitalize on them."

"That… Sounds rather difficult."

"If it wasn't I wouldn't bother teaching you. Now, a "weakness" can be anything from a limp to the stances they use. For instance, someone who favors a defensive stance probably doesn't have that much offensive force; in that scenario, attempting an all-out bumrush is out of the question. They will stand firm, and retaliate at point blank. That leads to death."

She flinched a bit at that sentence.

"Even what you just demonstrated was a weakness."

"What?!"

"Being scared to, if the scenario demands it, kill someone, leads to hesitation. Hesitation is a lack of action. A lack of action itself can get you killed. However, I will once again state that the purpose of these lessons is not to turn you into a killing machine. It is to ensure that YOU do not die."

"...Huh. Well, I never expected this."

"Expected what?"

"That my rival is a tsundere."

God I wish I recorded this.

"...summer?"

"Yeah?"

"The practical lessons have begun."

~An hour later~

So, turns out summer, being not only a bow main but also a hunter, was a natural at Weakness Hunting.

"So, uh, are you…. Gonna get back up?"

"I wish for nothing less than complete obliteration of the soul."

"Yeah, yeah, that's the 3rd time you said that, ya tsun."

"HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!"

"Books."

Maybe death isn't that bad.

(AN: so, turns out that I might not be able to uphold the rule of "chapter a weekday" but im still gonna try my damnsest to do so.)
