"I think it's more a comedy thing." Ayaka said walking in with the other girls.
"Go team! Go Team!" Misa, and Madoka cheer.

"Maybe.... but no, I kinda like it. Cheerleading does help people for motivation. And learning ninja techniques can be frustrating at times for some people. I think it's a good thing that they're here."
She looked at Misa and Madoka, folding her arms:
"Would you girls like to join us for our sessions to cheer on the girls? I think it'd be helpful."

"Of course, go team! You can do it!" The pair cheer.

"Okay. Now that this is settled..."
Mikoto looked at her assembled future Kunoichis.
"Last time you learned about how to sense and focus your chakra inside your bodies. Tonight, you'll learn how to focus it outside, in various ways, that'll allow you to affect your surroundings and perform various tricks. For example... and do pay attention."
She used her Chakra to basically negate her weight and allow herself to walk on vertical surfaces, demonstrating by walking upwards on the side of a tree.
"I'm doing this by projecting my Chakra towards my feet, and then through my shoes, and finally onto the tree. I negate my weight, increase my adhesion to the surface I'm walking on, and compensate for the way Gravity normally affects bodies in such a position... a.k.a falling. It seems simple, but it actually requires a good deal of practice for most people."
She went back onto the ground, folding her arms.
"Also, note that the shoes actually pose a higher level of difficulty, due to you having to not only focus your Chakra through it, so it acts like a barrier, but also, it makes it harder because you need to negate the additional weight from the shoes, increase the shoes' adhesion rather than yours, etc. When you're used to it, it's fine, but as beginners, it would be a pain in the... you know what I mean."
She smiled, saying:
"You will remove your shoes for this exercise. Try using your Chakra the way I just showed and explained to you, each on a different tree to make focusing easier. Those who succeed first, report to me, and then try and help your fellow students by guiding them. Oh, and don't feel discouraged if you don't succeed as quickly as others. Some people have a better natural control of their Chakra, but in the end, you all have the potential to succeed. Begin!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 stones into Chakra; 2 to walk up the tree by negating my weight and increasing my adhesion to it as I said; 1 to make my chakra as easy to sense as possible for the girls to easily understand what I mean.
6 stones into Statecraft (Assertive, Leadership) to explain to the girls how to focus their Chakra outside their bodies, which can then be used for various purposes.

They group begins trying to run up each tree as best they can in socked feet. They do their best, but are making little progress.

"Socks off, everyone. Remember what I said about the barrier? Socks count. Get barefooted and try again", she said with her usual kindness and patience.

The girls begin to whine as they peel them off many lamenting how badly they're gonna hurt their feet running on rough bark.

Mikoto sighed, smiling. On one hand, young ninjas usually 'toughened up' willingly doing this. On the other, she did was trying to teach these girls in mere weeks what it took others years to master... she could cut them some slack.
"...Very well. Got another surface you'd rather suggest?"

a few minutes later the girls are practicing by the brick wall of the school. It wasn't exactly shag carpeting, but at least it was more consistant than bark. True to form they start making some progress.

Mikoto walked around the practicing students, nodding and congratulating when great progress was being made, guiding and encouraging when her students seemed to be having trouble. She let them work at it for a while longer, confident that they'd make good progress soon enough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 stones into Intelligence to help, guide and support my students through advices and encouragements, while doing my best to help them figure the right way to do it.

One by one they start getting better within 10 minutes they're all making it to a minimum of 3/4 up the wall. Others like Asuna, Ayaka, Setsuna, and Mana are all the way at the top.

(OOC: By the way, I personally have no problem with roleplaying the training with step-by-steps training 'programs', but if you ever feel like speeding this up and moving on like the other time, I don't mind either.)

"Impressive progress, girls! I knew you had it in you. Let's take a break, practicing non-stop will only exhaust you. Let's take some time to allow your personal chakra to recover a bit. We'll try something new in twenty minutes if you're still up for it", the teacher said with a proud smile.

Mikoto had used the last hours of training of the day to teach the girls about the basics of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, keeping Taijutsu for the next time as they had already given their all physically. Eventually, however, it was fairly late, and she stood up, looking around:
"Good work everyone, that'll be more than enough for tonight. I think you girls deserve more than your share of rest. It's shower time, and then get some rest. We'll continue this next time."

Everyone nods, and heads down to the dorms.
