Chapter 3 - 3. an early age sparring partner?

Having spent many of his early school days buried in one book or another, or exercising, having formed a routine, completely different than every kid, technically her age, when about halfway through the semester, on a particularly nice, fall season day, reading a book about the different species of people in theworld, their common habits, and the way to approach everyone, she is studiously ignoring one particular child whom has been standing in front of her for more than twenty minutes without saying a word to her. Giving up, with a sigh, Valkyrie lowers her book speaking up with a clearly annoyed tone. "What would you like to bother me about?" Noticing its a half elf girl, though she has the pointy ears, they are much rounder than a full elf ears, giving her lineage away. "Um...I am sorry for interrupting your studies...I just noticed that you train every day...and I do too,though at home with my mom, I was wondering if you...if you would let me train with you? And we can even spar sometimes if you want! I told my mom about how you train every day like we do and she told me to ask if I could join you since...I don't really have a lot of friends who do..." The girl says, her words slowly falling into a low mumble, making Valkyrie giggle a bit. "Hmm, we can see, Tell you what, I have another ten minutes of reading,then I will be training for the rest of our break until they let us go home, if you want to join me for my routine, hop in whenever you feel comfortable, if you fall behind, don't expect me to come back and encourage you, or to slow my pace just so it deems fair, I have my own goal to you, you have yours, it is not a competition, but do what you can for what your goal is." Valkyrie explains, before going back to her book, her current chapter is on civilized orcs, an oddity for her considering the only orcs she had dealings with were fantasy on earth an all were beasts to be killed so this is a subject she must change in her mindset before any problems happen. With the passage of time, and an all new headache absorbing the cultures of this world, she tosses the book to the side, standing in a long stretch, as she does she spots the halfling jogging over an excited smile on her face, unbeknownst to her, valkyrie's training regime is brutal. But, to Valk's surprise, the girl follows her stretches with ease, Even the more acrobatic ones to facilitate more flexibility and ability.though valk runs through her routine as usual, she watches the Halloween, having not bothered to catch her name, not like she would have remembered it right away anyway.After about ten minutes of various stretching and warm up exercises, the first part of Valk's main routine starts, a two mile run at sub fifteen minute pass, and starting out with an even but very fast pace, leaving the girl struggling to match her pace, she eventually falls off, though her pace is much faster than the average kids their age, Valk's is a showcase of discipline and training since birth. Completing her routine, only to be standing by her pack and water container, hardly breathing hard, though covered in a sheen of sweat, one can see just how much hard work she has poured into her current form. Thankfully the girl is also quite resilient able to just make the sub fifteen mark that Valk was setting for her routine, showing the girl can keep up, if only just barely, but all good things come with time. "Here, catch your breath and get some water, we haven't finished my routine yet." Valk says, tossing the canteen over to the girl, before going through a few more stretches, the familiar burn and ache already setting in. With that, Valk gets to work starting with pushups, showing an ease of familiarity with them, pushing through a set of fiftywhilst the girl joins roughly halfway through, only to stop a few short of Valk's full set, showing her weakness in upper body strength, though Valk is barely breathing hard as the girl seems to be struggling. "Relax you don't need to match me on everything just do as much as you feel you can." Call said, seeing the girl having a frustrated look on her face. But without much break, she starts doing situps, this time pushing for one hundred, letting the girl catch up at her own pace as Valk transitions pull ups on one of the monkey bar looking playground pieces to entertain normal kids, though mostly unused as not m as my like exerting so much effort so young. This time, only aiming for 25,but pushes past it as much as possible,only reaching 35 in total. Ah well there is always next time to improve the number. With that thought, she moves on two practicing high kicks, and flying spin kick, for the rest of the time, eventually being joined by the halftime after she had copied Calls previous exercises, showing she is watching, even if she is slower or weaker, there is a fighting spirit in her. At least she has the will to move forward despite the haggard look she has after all the exercise.
