- Uh, Sensei, why can I be free? - She asked timidly, hesitantly.
- Because the main load in the team will go on these two, and you will be in support - it's much easier for me to pull you up for this role and fourth degree iryonin, quite worthy to get the next rank, than to demand to work at the level of partners, - I explained to the girl, sitting down on the grass and pulling out a scroll with unfinished calculations for the technique, - on requests and requirements. Hoshi and Asani will be working up a sweat, building a strong base for further systematic development, and you will be enough for part of the training. Why waste time and energy when the results you get will be useless after the next two or three years?
Nodding distantly, the little kunoichi went back to trying to glue herself with chakra. That's fine - when everyone on the team knows their place, the chances of conflict are much lessened. The future shopkeeper will get the bare minimum I need, and I'll focus on the more ambitious and hardworking orphans, which will be to everyone's advantage.
With roughly equal reserves, the apprentices were exhausted almost simultaneously after a couple hours, but still managed to accomplish the task at hand, confidently walking up and down the shaft. It's still too early for full-fledged running on vertical surfaces and traveling by overhead paths, but progress is quite good.
- So, girls, I am satisfied with the result and frankly speaking, I expected the worst, well done! - praised the tired charges resting on the grass.
With the chosen approach to the exercise, they fell quite rarely and did not even require treatment to continue training, so I let Surizawa go home with a reminder to gather at this range at seven in the morning (today was a small indulgence to graduates) and turned to the remaining kunoichi.
- It's ten to two now, so until three o'clock you'll just run around," he announced the lesson plan and explained, "without tearing up, keeping a steady and relaxed pace, and then we'll go to lunch.
- Hai, sensei!
After receiving the seals, the girls trotted around the training ground, and I threw off my cloak and stretched my muscles with the medical technique I had long ago used on automatic, and started practicing a personally developed set of exercises under the increased influence of the seals and suppressed chakra source. As an iryonin, I had sufficient control for such a trick, having long ago dispensed with the need to apply fuin.
Of course, I had done the necessary amount to keep myself toned in the morning, but this demonstration under the gazes of the female students not only served to showcase my sensei's capabilities, but also set the bar for me to strive for. Besides, nothing is as demotivating as resting a person who makes you work hard. But the opposite is also true - a personal example is a great inspiration.
So inspiring, in fact, that the students who were exhausted and fell asleep on the way had to be carried to lunch in an armful! No, they were not overexerted (I was watching this very closely), they were just exhausted after such an intense day. However, after smelling the salivating smells of Akamichi's place, the students came to life very quickly and started throwing food off their plates even faster than yesterday.
I didn't take a booth this time, so we were nestled in the corner of the room so no one would get in the way. While the girls were filling up, I went and bought two annual passes in their names (with age and fitness requirements), paying a tidy sum for the intensive nutrition training.
Just sketching out the outline of the team's training plan, I consulted with allies beforehand about menu selection, designed not only to support the body of a growing and developing child, but also to eliminate the effects of early years of malnutrition, which is very much needed for orphans.
