Training begins (Training)

With her continued Training with her gates Mika knew she needed to get a better grasp over them, the first gate had it's own quirks that would make it hard to use if she didn't train it properly. Forcing it open was one thing, but after having properly opened the second gate, the after affects where much reduced, so it was clear that some time training with the first gate would also be something she should do to make sure she could Stay in at least decent condition after she used them. Then again the Gates really should be a last resort technique considering the damage it did to her body and the pain it caused, but there was also the fact that she likely couldn't just never use it due to what dangers there might be, she had to balance the two things, and make a good judgment call when the time came.

But for now Mika started to train as normal to make sure she had a firm Idea on what she could normally handle, according to what she read of the Gates, the first gate would let her use one hundred percent of her strength, it would strengthen her in every way possible, so with that in mind she made sure to measure her current limits and then she prepared everything so that she would have to go past those, then with her course set up she took a deep breath and concentrated for a moment before she suddenly felt stronger, she moved a bit faster, but at the same time she could feel the pain already, it was something she would have to get used to.

With that she started, the weights where heavier, she knew this, but she was lifting with ease, she was dodging faster, able to sense things sooner and react to them all the better, everything was just... better, but with it came pain as she could literally feel her body moving to fast for it to easily handle, and once again she had to remember this Technique was dangerous, and on top of that, she did notice the pain was less then when she forced the gate open, this was going to be invaluable information. and so she pushed herself all the more to lift more, react faster, even her natural defense seemed enhanced, and she would train while under the effects of this Gate to learn more about her new limitations when using it.

note:

It was time to focus on training both Gates in some manner, she knew what to do this time, and she started to do her training first by normal means and as she got a gauge of herself she started to took a breath and then focused all the further opening the first gate and stepping up her motions and her exercises using the increase in her abilities to push herself even farther, She could feel the pain slowly growing from the motion from her body using more of itself then it normally ever did, her strikes where heavier, more accurate thanks to her stronger senses, and her body was tougher, something obvious as a training sword bounced off her as she blocked it with one of her arms, her field of vision seemed wider and she could feel the air moving around her letting her know where things were coming from.

As she could feel her slowly approaching her limit from the pain and strain her attacks got harder and harder to move eventually, and then as she launched the training dummy into the air with a heavy kick, and she stopped as she felt the pain and she grimaced and the dummy was able to hit the ground again before she could go after it, on realizing it was now slowing her down Mika kicked the Dummy once more and then Opened the second gate, giving her that second wind as she chased after it and started to strike it once more taking it into the air with more and more heavy blows, the gates were truly dangerous, it made her stronger, and it allowed her to push past limits she had and go even farther then many would think she could go, in a tough situation she could suddenly be fighting at top form again while the enemy was winded and tired, the turn around could be lethal to her opponent, though it could also mean more damage to her body, in fact even though she felt no pain at the moment she could still tell she would be feeling this all after the fact.

As she landed she kicked off the ground and attacked the second dummy and sent it into the air as well and started to flicker from one to the other keeping both in the air now much to her own surprise, it felt so easy, but she had to concentrate on keeping track of how damaged she was making herself, and she realized she would likely need to get to the Infirmary before her ability to use the gates ended or she would be faced with a long painful walk there after the fact. With that in mind she used a heavy axe handle kick to send both dummies into the ground and she landed and started to put her things away rapidly, taking apart her training set up, and gathering all the things and taking them back to storage. it wouldn't take to long to do all this thankfully and as she did so she realized she was going far faster then she normally would.

A loss of sense of effort, that was something she would have to watch as well, training this against someone else would be dangerous unless she learned to gauge her strength precisely, then again this wasn't exactly a technique you used in sparring or training against another person.. she would have to remember that from now on, she had already used this once in a training situation against someone that was a misuse of such a technique, she understood that now that she understood the gates quite a bit more.
