BFSW:

Once Mikasa gets down of his back Ikki grabs the shovel. Ikki can feel how the shovel is heavy like a big sword, he got an idea. Use the shovel like a heavy sword. He begins to swing it around like if he were attacking someone. {1}
<p>
This makes him look funny but he was able to feel how the muscles of his arms tenses, this was a good sign that this kind of training could work if he wants to be able to use a large sword in the future. {2}
<p>
Ikki rises the shovel and holds it like if it was a large sword like a Nodachi. The sturdy shovel was really heavy but thanks to his training with weight he does not have any problem to train with the shovel. {3}
<p>
Ikki continues praticing striking the air with the shovel while he waits for Mikasa finishes digging. Ikki would look around to find another good spot that he could use to dig while he is moving around swinging the shovel like a big sword. {4}
<p>
A few minutes passes by and Ikki finally has dug an hole big enough to complete another task. He uses his technique 'surface walker' to get out of the hole and then he begins to fill the hole with all the dirt, rocks and roots that he dug up. Once the hole is filled, Ikki continues practicing sword attacks with the big shovel waiting to Mikasa complete her second task. "Kya! Kya!" {5}
<p>
Ikki feels his sweat run across his body, the constant training with the shovel like if it was a big sword like a nodachi was making his muscles and all his body feel more hot. Ikki knows that sweating is a good sign that indicates that his body is being affected by his training. {6}
<p>
Ikki tightens his grip on the shovel and continues moving around praticing his combat strance. He will be moving to the next spot where he is going to dig another hole for his last task. {7}
<p>
Once  he  passes  by  Mikasa's side  he smiles  at her with  affection and  continues  his path. Ikki  swings  the shovel  like if  he was  fighting  againts  multiple  invisible  foes. {8}
<p>
After some minutes ans feeling exhausted he decides to start digging the hole and let his body rest. "Once we end here we need to go and capture that bandits that are causing troubles" {9}
<p>
Ikki would run towards the bandits wielding the big weapon. It feels heavy on his hand but this was perfect to improve his skills and learn how to use propperly a nodachi. The bandits will run towards him, they were a group of eight bandits in total. {10}
<p>
Ikki easily dodge and parry all their attacks, looks like he finally has learned how to fight against multiple enemies at the same time. "Lets do it Mikasa. Nobody can beat us when we work together!"  {11}
<p>
Ikki notices how Mikasa easily defeats some of the bandits. In an attack of rage two bandits lunges against Ikki wielding their swords frantically. Ikki tightens his grip with his weapon and adopts his combat stance that helps him fight against multiple enemies. {12}
<p>
He  perfectly  parries  the  blades  and  counters  them  hitting  the  bandits  on  theirs  heads  making  both  bandits  fall  on  the  ground  unconscious. {13}
<p>
With these bandits unconscious Ikki now could attack without problems. Ikki moves really quick where the bandits where fighting with Mikasa and helps her. {14}
<p>
Ikki begins to spin with the long sturdy branch and all the bandits around him on their legs, this causes that all of them fall on the floor and some of them even end unconscious. "Dont you dare to touch Mikasa, you bastards" {15}
<p>
Ikki flexes his legs and puts one of his hands on the sheath of his tanto. He was going to use his most powerful technique on a poor bandit. Ikki moves two steps towards the bandit, his movements where very graceful. {16}
<p>
Ikki strikes with the long branch and the bandit dodges him and laughs at him, but what the bandit did not knew is that this technique were two attacks. The bandit suddenly would feel how the sheath of Ikki's tanto hit his face making him lose some teeths and lose consciousness. {17}
<p>
Ikki walks around the village looking for a lonely place where he can train his skills with the sword. He wants to practice more on how to wield a long big sword like a nodachi. {18}
<p>
After a few minutes Ikki arrives to the garden at the north west of the village. Once there he grabs a long branch of a tree  that had the same size and weight of a nodachi and begins to train. {19}
<p>
Ikki can be seen striking the air with the long branch like if it was a nodachi. He takes two steps and attacks, then two steps, spin and attack. He sometimes moves his body like if he was dodging and invisible attack and then he strikes to the air. {20}
<p>
He  was  like  fighting  against an  invisible  foe,  this  training would  help  him improve  his  skills  and  it  was  a  good  physical training  too. "Take this! and this! and this! Kya kya!" {21}
<p>
Ikki continues, he feels how his body is sweating because of the constant physical traininig. Ikki feels how the long branch that he is using as a nodachi feels more slippery because of the sweat on his hands. {22}
<p>
He tightens his grip on the branch with his both hands and continues training. He adopts his combat stance and begins to execute all the sword techniques that he knows of his combat style. "Kya, Kya, Kya!" *He yells with every strike* After a few minutes he lay himself on the grass feeling really exhausted.. {23}
<p>
Ikki takes a deep breath and stands up while he picks up the long and sturdy branch. "I...I cannot stop...I need to dominate ti combat style...I...I need be usefull for Mikasa, I need to become stronger to protect her" {24}
<p>
 Ikki with a gaze of determination adopts his combat style and begins to strike the air once again with all his forces. He performs his most porwerful technique 'Twin Dragon Flash' the sound of the long branch moving across the air can be heard everytimes Ikki attacks. {25}
<p>
After  a  few  minutes  Ikki  finally  falls  on  the  ground  really  extausted  all  his muscles hurts but he has an smile of satisfaction on his face. "I...I did it....Mikasa..." *fall asleep* {26}
