New threads and training? What more can a girl want!

[MWDSeasoned Member]

The girl heard some information from a few shinigami that Ulv was handing out some new clothes for those in need and had to come to the harbour, using this opportunity the girl examined her own shihakshou and realized it was a bit too...revealing besides knowing Henrex he wouldn't want boys oggling over her so she came to visit as a sekimon opened as she arrived at the harbor. Plus she needed some time to gain some expertise and training from the great Ulv herself and nobody else was avaliable at this point in time. She turned her head to observe the area and immediately noticed that from the bow of the boat the harbour came into focus like a high-definition movie. Above the gulls swoop, crying in that repetitive way they do. The houses are identical in shape and size but no two are the same shade. They are yellow, lilac, blue, red, orange and every shade in between. Each one is not only a house but also a shop run by the folks that live above, selling ice-cream, meat, vegetables or fine leather goods. From the bright yellow lampposts hang the flags of European nations and in the town square there is a market. She couldn't see the fish from here, but she knew from many visits that they are there. Lying on those tables, silver scales to the sun, is the morning's catch. They are fresher than she can hope for back home, were the food has been frozen and breaded with seasoning and sugar some months before.

The harbour is typical of the region, shallow shore with waters utterly clear. From the top every fish and rock can be seen, all in a turquoise hue. Melody watches, bewitched, utterly in love with the Mediterranean. In front of her locals sat at the cafes, eating fish, drinking wine, smiling broadly, laughing. She sits up and breaths in deeply, "I should visit here more often. It's so peaceful here."

Knowing Ulv she probably is in her quarters or just walking around to make sure people were working hard. But rather than run around with her head chopped off like a chicken she decided to ask the locals for some directions as to where she may be.

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

The city was a magnificent thing. As soon as Adam entered it's limits, he could feel an uplifting emotional feel in the very air. A barely perceivable amber haze covered the place, and the buildings were more obviously amber coloured. Stare into their walls long enough, and you could even see a fire crackling from within the stone. This place was definitely more than just normal buildings. And any energy sensitive being could see even further than that, as the power signature of nearly every race imaginable was evident inside the Harbour. Clearly, this was a melding pot of every refugee that could make it here. The buildings rose taller into the sky than they should, the city was more vast than the landmass it covered, and it throbbed with a life as if it was going to uproot from the island and rush into the horizon in pursuit of some deeply held dream. But even then, to the person who felt such outside feelings to be cheating, for one who wished to rely on himself, and to know everything he did in life was his own, the great power of the city would be distant. Visible, notable, but effecting one as much as the gentle lapping waves of the Harbour effected The Sun.

In contrast, Ulv's arrival was gentle. Soft, subtle, and serene, she simply seemed to appear out of the warm, heartening wind.
"Thanks. I worked a bit on it,as did the people here. We all really came together on this" Ulv nodded softly as she looked about, and then turned back to Yoriko.

"So, you came here for a reason, or just to admire the scenery?"

Yoriko eyes were as immobile as the rest of her face, staring at the city was enough to make anyone notice something was happening as she appeared to be frozen for maybe three whole seconds before the corners of her mouth resumed their usual softness and her eyes quit staring. She turned to see the muscular vizard and extend her arm to give a welcoming firm handshake if she would accept it, then followed by a smile showing those glimmering white teeth of hers.

"Well I'm glad to see this place filled with lively individuals. She said smiling, the happiness becoming obvious almost radiating within her very core.
The happiness was infectious. It started as a tingle in her fingers and toes, much like the feeling she would have when anxious, but instead of worrisome it's warm. She feel it pass through her like a warm ocean wave, leaving her refreshed inside.

"Ah Ulv. Just the woman I wanted too see, I was hoping if you could help me increase my strength to the point where heavy objects are nothing more than a pebble." Yoriko requested firmly before her head turned to the side scratching the back of her head looking a bit saddened but only for a brief moment.

"Since well...considering you're the only one who would even train me and Henrex is always busy.." She would exhale a heavy sigh.

A handshake was not very Ulv at all. No, that was ignored and Yoriko was glomped with mighty passion! How could she be so cold to someone that was basically her best friends' adopted daughter?
"Glad you like it. I put my heart and soul into this place. Quite literally, in fact. That bubbling heat that makes you feel rather good, is my Resolve Flame. The reiatsu that I have and can give to others if I deem them aligned with the goals of the flame" Ulv explained, before taking a seat on a plumb of wind and looking at the woman.

"What is heavy, Yoriko? To the average man, his wife's shopping is heavy. To me, a Vastimian Frigate is heavy. We both lift them with capable arms, but heavy has radical meanings for the two of us. Nail where you consider heavy, then we shall work.

And, while you do, consider that me and Henrex are not the only people in the world. The Gotei has 6 captains, Lux Orior has however many people they have, and Colin is opening a school for people. Don't feel you have to come to me because I am the only person in the world"

Yoriko watched as Ulv began to sit on what many would see as nothing but mid-air but to her it was actually a small gust of wind holding weight as she stared waiting for an answer, so the girl said exactly what was her "limit" in terms of heavy objects and this may or may not come as a surprise to the muscular vizard.
"Well, what I would consider heavy at my current state would be a large amount of steel beams stacked on on top of each other. Specifically those 10' long which can weigh almost 400 pounds and a stack of those can add up immensely." She said in a neutral tone.

After telling Ulv what she could lift Yoriko listened to Ulv's suggestion about meeting an individual by the name Colin, and apparently he was teaching a school for presumably shinigami. But considering she spends most of her days running around looking for something to do its probably a good indicator that she needed to look for this guy and consult some training with him. With that Yoriko would give a nod and mental note of the man's name and wanted to go there next but first she had to get the important stuff out of the way.

"Colin huh? I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion.

"A large amount. You know, you are a really helpful woman, Yoriko. What is A Large Amount? Is that five, is that fifty? Is that five thousand? You can't just give vagaries and expect people to understand what you are saying. World's bigger than you give it credit for. Henrex is not really well known for his strength, and even he can heft a 60 ton tank at someone. When you are my kind of level, I max out around 13,000 tons in base. Full Stacks and that goes to around 32,500 tons. Which, as I am sure you know, is 'a large amount' of steel beams"

Ulv shook her head softly and sighed. Yoriko always was pretty strange. What drew Henrex to her? Probably the same kind of madness.
"I can't help you if you don't give me more than just 'a large amount of steel beams'. Give me a singular figure that you've topped, and we can go from there"

"Alright..the maximum I can lift is two tons." Yoriko told Ulv as she decided to just get it over with and give a straight-forward answer rather than give another estimate which would've made her annoyed. Regardless she wasn't going to let this training go to waste and after she told her current capabilities in terms of lifting a heavy object hopefully they would get started right away, the girl was a bit curious as to what the strength training would entail which intrigued her and the area would obviously have to be somewhere private to not disturb the peace.

"So Ulv. I know getting stronger in terms of strength varies from person to person but what advice do you have to make the experience less stressful?" The girl would ask her Optimistic tone becoming vary apparent as she needed all the help she could get and knowing the training she received at the wastelands it obviously wasn't going to be a simple task to achieve. Waiting for the Vizards response.

"If you can just pull the figure out of your hat like that without even a moment to think, then lead with that. Now come on, we walk a lot of meters to my house so I can help you do some training in a bit of time" Ulv was clearly mocking Yoriko's earlier vagueness, but did turn and head to her house anyway and start walking that way.

"Two Tons is about average for your level. Though, I would suggest not going to much higher without comparative body durability. I can get away with it mostly by using a reiatsu buffer and equipment, but you get too strong and you'll be ripping your own limbs off trying to lift something. Make sure to balance your growth, ok?" Ulv said, getting up to the house and opening the door. First, she took the girl to an exquisite, sensual bondage rack, and then looked back at Yoriko with a frown.

"That's...not the gym. Someone has been messing about. Guess you are getting in this instead and I'll edit the training around that" Ulv's words were totally deadpan, no smile or anything of the sort. Total, and utter, seriousness.

Yoriko followed the vizard as she listened to the advice she was told in terms of balancing both muscle and body shape as having one overtake the other can lead to both unexpected and horrifying results which she took with a grain of salt nodding her head as the two walked.

After a few minutes they eventually came across a house and a door which Ulv opened, what Yoriko saw was shocking, it wasn't an open field nor a gym but rather a room with these assortments of whips, collars, and other unspeakable things the girl couldn't express..but rather than brush it off she let out a chortle laugh after hearing her response which wasn't surprising after all the girl thought it was all some sort of joke and she loved a sense of humor. "Hahaha. I like your humor their Ulv, you almost had me there. she said smiling but once she stopped laughing and noticed the seriousness and Solemn her once smiling expression changed to an apprehensive one.

"Look Ulv. I don't know why you chose this out of anything else but this..this wasn't what I was expecting at all.

Immediately after showing Yoriko the thing as a joke she was never going to do anything with, she shivered suddenly. Extrasensory perception was all well and good but sometimes it was a flaw, like now. The mere mention of the possibility of the of the chance of Yoriko being within a hundred foot of something lewd had sent the shiver down her spine that meant she was being glared at by the omnipresence being that was Henrex's overprotective fatherness. She sighed gently and shook her head, leaving without even mentioning it, taking Yoriko out of the room and shutting the door as she did, making sure to lock it so Yoriko couldn't accidentally wander back in and risk Ulv's house getting obliterated by a storm.

"Ok, there are multiple various ways to train your strength. The most easy one is obviously weightlifting and dietary, but for spiritual beings like us there are other ways. Magic equipment, Determination-feeding manacles, and a high-intensity gravity room can all help both speed up your strength's development and give you the required scale to improve beyond what mortal minds can comprehend. You've got to decide which one you want"
