Weight Training IV

18) Jhin brandishes his blade after relocating himself, only for his arms to subtly strain from the actions themselves. Having weights pushing down upon his wrists made his blade feel that much heavier, and it was naturally uncomfortable for him to manage at first. Despite this, he would prepare himself for yet another grueling hour of training. His blade is held out before him for a brief moment, allowing himself to clear his mind.

 19) Without warning, he would delve into his typical fighting stance, adopting the Kashima style that he had been brought up with. It was this very same sword style that Nyoko had attempted to emulate in their battle, though her prowess with it was severely lacking. With the addition of these weights, he couldn't perform as he typically did, but would instead resort to the basics.  His blade is raised above his head, in preparation to begin the countless strikes that would accompany his grunts.

 20) The blade is brought down in a slow, deliberate arc that slices through the air. A gentle whistling occurs as he repeats the process akin to clock-work, deliberately moving slow in order to work every fiber of muscle within his body. It takes ample amounts of time and concentration to accomplish this, but he would perform the necessary amount of vertical strikes before his head began to ache.
