A few days after the party, I oversaw the training of my students. There was some progress, or at least as much progress as you could get over a few days' worth of training. These things took time. People weren't going to suddenly become 10 times stronger after just a couple of days of training. I bet it would take a few months or so before they would show visible results.
Unfortunately, the practical exam at the end of the semester was only a month away. There wasn't a lot of time. Well, there should be at least a few improvements in the way both disciples executed their techniques and a lot of new skills they would have learned by then, so it was more than enough, given that their opponents would be students of the same level and grade. They were given the same amount of time (a month) to train for the exam, but of course, as with everything else, the pace at which an individual grew differed from person to person.
