Training of a Lifetime (Takehiko/Ulv) [Thread Complete]

Not everyone is born with powers which had been something he'd yet to consider. What if he never gained powers or anything of the like could he still help people? Takehiko had to resolve himself rot that possible outcome. But in the end that would be a hard pill to swallow. He watched closely his eyes focusing intently on her movements. How she breathed, taking in the air through her lungs and dispersing it properly through her body. Sending it where it needed to go which did give him an idea. Takehiko had a conclusion from watching her the question was how to do it. Learning from her was the best option for him as he attempted it. Inhaling a strong breath of air. As much air as he could take into his body flooded his senses. Sending shivers through his airway and around his system. It was all within the realm of possibilities as he began focusing anew. Taking a movement as his breath reached its zenith and the refreshing feel of it came. He released the air finally at the conclusion of the movement.

Unsure how he'd done in this movement, had the breath been too large or small? Had he misunderstood any part of what she said during the explanation? Shaking his head left to right he tried again trying to mimic what he saw. Before he stopped himself entirely, what worked for her may not have been effective for him. Of course, things wouldn't work this well for him all the way. Ulv's body was refined and trained properly to execute these techniques and things flawlessly. His was here to be conditioned to do such, expecting a result of perfect success on the first try was naive. So his eyes closed as he shut out the noise around him. Feeling a black world around his senses though sounds were still there. He could hear Ulv if she spoke and her breathing. He stopped relying on sight and instead relied on hearing. Her breathing was incredible as was the movement that followed it. Taking in breath mimicking the pattern as best he could. The sound of air filling his body and making a move he began to grasp something. But it was still too early to tell.

This wasn't going to be easy to learn for him, but nothing in life had ever been. Takehiko had always believed that hard work trumped talent. So learning by listening in the truest sense was the best he could think of. Was it the perfect solution for him? He was no prodigy or naturally gifted genius so it seemed the best solution. This was the only idea that jumped out at him from Ulv's words. To listen to her body and shut off the distractions. To see what he could hear from her breathing. It was subtle yet held power behind it at the same time. He didn't need to inhale a massive amount like swimming.

Taking in one breath now letting it fill his lungs and circulate around his body. He made a step that was fluid and felt right to him. As air left his lungs slowly he looked around realizing he'd moved. Not thinking about it merely doing what came naturally too him.
