Description
  Yuwa was currently staring down her opponent, on the floor before her trying their best to crawl away, defeated and all but beaten into submission, literally.
  “...Mercy, please…!”
  She advanced, there was no room to be kind at present, and both she and her foe knew that. Every step she took towards her adversary forced them back to avoid the final blow.
  But before she could even lift her blade, Cipher found the last of his strength and threw himself out of the training square, rolling to a stop in his back as he went limp, breathing heavily and covered in sweat.
  “You know…,” he said between labored breaths, “I think…I liked it better… when you hated me. It was…, somehow…, a lot less painful…, and exhausting.”
-Advent From Elsewhere: The Strange New, Chapter 14-The Heroes of Kumatari Part 1

Doing something right or well is a simple premise. But do not mistake simplicity for ease. When a professional trains you up to standard, getting up to that standard is going to feel like going up a mountain.
Good luck with the falls.
