The session started well.
Kai in the center of the yard. Lira on the left correcting the resonance Qi. Serah on the right watching with her arms crossed.
Kai's resonance Qi was at eighty-two percent — three points better than the previous session.
Lira adjusted his hip axis.
"If the hip is here, the resonance Qi flow concentrates in the torso instead of distributing." She moved it two centimeters. "There."
"That's incorrect," Serah said.
Lira looked at her.
"The hip at that angle blocks the active Qi flow," Serah said. "If Kai needs to switch from passive to active resonance in real combat, that angle costs him half a second."
"We're working on passive resonance, not active."
"They're not separable in combat."
"We're not in combat."
"Training is for combat."
Lira let go of Kai's hip.
"You've been teaching resonance Qi for weeks," Serah said, "and Kai still can't consciously sustain it for more than forty seconds at a time."
