Hitomi
Hitomi, who was wearing the tank top, denim work pants and running shoes which she was wearing earlier before, was shivering a little in the cold room.
"...I-I'm... I'm 21. Since last May. Um, James? Does it have to be this cold?" she asked, rubbing her shoulders a bit to warm herself up.

"Sorry, but its better this way to build your resistance to pain and discomfort that will help you unlock advanced techniques at your age." He said.

"Ah! I see. N-Nevermind then! If it's about building up resistance, I'm all for it!" she said with determination, slamming her fist in her other hand's open palm. "Alright... I'm ready. Let's do this! So what's first?"

(Thought I already posted here. Moving on.)
The next morning James hands you a blue spandex tank top and matching black shorts. "Here put these on... We're gonna train outside today." He said smirking.

"Outside? ...Oh... okay, I'll be right there", she said, as she moved to get changed, before meeting back with him.

A long walk later you are both on a beach by what looks like a river a mile wide.
"Okay... We're going to practice meditation today." He said. "First we're gonna try under stress." He said. "Now take off your shoes, and stand on tiptoes on one foot while holding the other leg as high as you can and hold that position as long as you can." He said.

"Got it!" the girl said as she took off her shoes, and proceeded to stand on the tip of her toes of one foot, while raising the other as much as she could as requested. 3 in Agility to do as he says.

You manage to hold the pose for almost 5 minutes before it's too much.
"Okay. Now try your other foot." He said.

You manage about 3 and a half minutes before you have to get down.
"Okay. Good work... Now we are going to meditate... This is a vital component of most interdimensional magic systems." He said.

The brunette paused at that while she was stretching her legs out.
"...Heh? ...'Magic'? Am I going to be learning magic?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not right away." He said sitting lotus style on the sand. "Still it should make you more adapt at channeling your body's internal energy."
