Yumie is now trying very hard to withstand Yuki's bloodlust. Her cute little pink face was now very pale and full of sweat.
Her body was shaking while trying to stand up. Because of Yuki's bloodlust, she cannot stand up properly and will fall to the ground once she finally stands up. Yumie cannot even stand for a single second.
While she was trying to stand up Yuki's voice then rang into her mind, "If you can just stand up and resist my bloodlust for 1 minute I'll consider it as a pass, and after that, you'll attack me then we are done."
"Umm." That was all Yumie could say since she was breathing heavily now, she can't even breathe properly when she is under the pressure.
She then once again tried to stand up but failed again. 'Can I do this?' Yumie then began to doubt her real strength. She wondered if she was really strong as Yuki said or if Yuki was just coaxing her to not feel bad.
Yuki naturally hears what Yumie is saying in her mind and sighed at this then said, 'Yumie I'm sorry but I cannot help you in this one. You need to believe in yourself for once to pass this test.' Yuki said while secretly praying in her mind also.
'NO! I must do this even if I can't! I must show my big sis Yuki that I have grown so that I can stand up next to her proudly with my head high.' Yumie said and continued, 'And also I need to have confidence in myself since I remember that big sis Yuki once told me that what I'm lacking is confidence in myself she also told me that it is important to oneself.'
Yumie then braced herself again and tried to stand up. This time it was different when she finally stood up she didn't fall to the ground like her earlier attempts. She was now standing straight with her head high even though she was still shaking and feeling pain. She endured all of it to just pass Yuki's test on her.
"Good! Good! Just like that, stay like that for 30 more seconds and you are done and can quickly go to the final test." Yuki said to Yumie with a cold face but her excited voice betrayed her. Yuki now cannot conceal her happiness for Yumie for standing up.
30 Seconds Later...
"YES! I did it big sis Yuki!" Yumie then jumped like a cute little rabbit in happiness. After jumping for a bit she then quickly rushed toward Yuki even though she was tired both physically and mentally she did not mind and went for a hug.
After she was close to Yuki her body then collapsed to the ground luckily Yuki was close to her and quickly went to catch Yumie's body.
"Yes, You've done well!" Yuki said while holding Yumie's sleeping body.
Yuki then looked at Yumie's sleeping face. Even though Yumie's face was pale and full of sweat she was still smiling. Yuki didn't even realize that she was staring at Yumie for a long time now when she finally snapped back she was embarrassed. Luckily for her, Yumie was sleeping and didn't have the chance to see Yuki's flushed face.
She quickly regained her normal cold face and carried Yumie's body back to the cave. When she was finally back she then placed Yumie's body on a leaf bed that she made so that Yumie can have a good rest.
After she put Yumie's body down she then went outside the cave for a quick bath. Yuki then arrived at the beautiful river that she went to last night and soaked her small fox body to relax under the shining moonlight.
The scene was very beautiful, a fox that was simply cute, and was bathing under the moon looked very graceful.
"I wonder if I should move the final test for Yumie?" Yuki then began to ponder if she should reschedule the final test. Since Yumie was very tired she thought of giving her a small break.
She wanted to give Yumie a break since she was working very hard and she haven't had a good rest. The last reason is also she has not been nice to Yumie when she started her training.
"Probably not since there is a chance that Yumie will be lazy when training."
But Yuki quickly gave up on that thought since she doesn't want to be too nice to Yumie when training because there is a chance that Yumie will disregard her training after receiving a reward. But little did Yuki know that Yukie likes to train since she wants to get stronger quickly.
After Yuk already made up her mind she then washed her beautiful white fur and body. Yuki's fur then shone in the dark when she was finally done, her fur was really beautiful. It was white and beautifully glowing under the moonlight.
She then went up the river bank to dry her fur, after that Yuki finally felt better and walked towards the cave slowly while admiring the beauty of the forest. Yuki didn't have the time to admire the beauty of the forest because every time she walks or runs around the forest she will get attacked and don't have the time to sightsee.
When she was finally back to the cave she saw that Yumie was awake and was still practicing. Yumie was currently attacking the air, and trying to have a greater experience when fighting so that she will not fall behind when fighting because she remembered Yuki's words, 'Remember Yumie even though you are strong doesn't mean you can just fight recklessly. You need to sharpen battle styles that you learn or make your own so that no one can know what will happen.
When Yumie saw Yuki she immediately rushed toward her to hug Yuki. Yuki just accepted Yumie's hug and then said to her "Prepare for tomorrow's test because it will be your final one for the time being." Yuki said and continued, "For your last one you'll have to destroy an Ice statue that I will make."
"Umm," Yumie answered.
Yuki then continued again "In that, I will strengthen the Ice with my Blood Manipulation Skill so that you get a good rest so that you will have a lot of strength for tomorrow, and after that, we will have a celebration for your results."
Yuki then released Yumie after saying all that and reminded her again of tomorrow's test.
"Yes, big sis Yuki!"
