Urza felt no end to her new found strength. It was a second wind that was allowing her burn through this training like a fire being stoked by wind. She was burning bright and had no plans of dimming any time soon. Although you know what they say... Destiny has a funny way of changing plans. But for Urza the Earth was smiling on her. Her body felt loose and strong, her armor felt as light as a feather, and as cool a a breeze. She completed one more push-up, her face stiff with concentration and focus. She had to make sure eery push-up performed was perfect. Even the slightest error and she would be unable to count it, and would have wasted energy. The Knight was going strong, and this was just her warming up.

As Urza completed another push-up she felt a strange sensation in her body. It was much like the warmth she had felt before, only this one clung to her like clothing. It was think and tight, yet comforting and protective. The feeling seemed to want to urge Urza onward. Onward and upwards. To be better, better than she ever thought possible. It demanded Urza to be strong, while at the same time giving her strength, this force. It was will power. Pure in it form, and loving in its intent. It was Urza's will to strive and become great. To be shaped, and forged into the Shield of Otogakure. To be strengthened in the fires of determination and faith. Urza had no doubt in her mind now. She would bring glory to not only the people of Otogakure, but to the holy power of her God.

As Urza finished her final push-up she noticed her armor felt light as a feather until she stood up. The clinging warmth left her and her armor once more rest heavy as steel upon her shoulders. Perhaps it was just her imagination. However, something in the back of Urza's mind told her it wasn't. It was rumored that the armor of a knight was blessed by their God, however if that was true or not Urza had no clue. Until just recently jutsu, and ninja, and hidden villages had been things of legend and mere fables to Urza. Perhaps what made a Knights armor special was not their faith, but their force of will. It was definitely something Urza would have to discuss with her father when she got home. There was still work to be done however, Urza decided would would be best to take a short break, and recuperate her energy before working on her endurance and nimbleness.

Urza set herself up in the shade of a tree. Her body was sweating from the hard workout and she needed to rest a bit before she tried running in the heavy steel. So far Urza's exercise plan was going fantastically, and if she was quick with running she would even be able to have time to read up before class started... Class... What would that be like... She knew nothing of eastern culture save what she learned the few times she had gone with her father into the Taki market for crafting supplies. With a nonchalant look, she peeked over at the student that had been running the track. "Tch" Urza scoured, "It doesn't matter" Urza's heart was still stone cold towards the strangers of this land. Just because she was willing to be it shield didn't mean she had to like its people right away. they were still strangers to her, and she wasn't one to trust just because she was told to.
Urza stood up stretching as much as she could in her armor. She tightened belts here and there and loosened other ones until she was comfortable. She placed one of her guantleted hands on her hip feeling her finger tips make contact with the pommel of her sword. She thought once more to tomorrows class. Would she be forbidden to wear armor and wield her weapon? Would they see it as some sort of unfair advantage? If they did that meant at some point she would be fighting a fellow student. Urza smiled at that thought. If she were to be fighting a fellow student she would be able to show them the power of the far west. Urza laughed a bit placing both hand on her hips. If one thing was clear to Urza, it was that this would be an adventure unlike any before it.
Urza could feel that she had not quite fully recovered all of her strength, but had recovered enough that she felt confident that she could perform her next step in her training regime without stopping. All she had to do was try and sprint a full lap around the track. She knew her armor was going to make her less dexterous that her fellow students, so she would have to train and push herself so that any mobility lost due to her armor seemed to fade away into negligible differences. Urza wondered what time it was. Class was bound to start soon and the last thing she wanted was to show up late, looking all run down and tired before school even started.

Urza walked over to the track and prepared herself to take off in a sprint. She would do as many laps around the track as fast as she could, and than walk a lap to recuperate strength. She would do this until she had done 10 laps around the track, or until she had to rest. With her eye set on the goal Urza took off, but from the gates she felt the heaviness of the armor weighing her to the ground like a ball and chain. Her foot got caught on a crack and she instantly plumited to the ground with a lot of clanking. Slowly urza got up hold her shoulder and stretching out the arm she had landed on. What a careless stupid move. She was still so bulky and inefficient in her armor. But she couldn't let that stop her, she had to try again.

Urza set up for her second run. Leaning her body mass forwards she felt the steel shift on her body. Slowly she counted down in her head. 3...2...1... And boom. She took off like a bullet. A silver mass of metal speeding around the track just as fast as her body would move. It didn't take her long to finish her first lap, and it wasn't an easy lap by any stretch of the imagination. By the end of it Urza's breath was labored and harsh. She was not used to moving like this in armor, but she had a good feeling that this would be the type of speeds, and 200 times faster at that, that she would need to achieve in her armor to keep up with theses shadow people. So Urza would run. And she would continue running until the armor no longer held her down. Until she was as quick as any other person, and 100 times more protected.

As much as Urza wanted to keep running an never stop her legs wouldn't let her. Her calfs screamed at each step at the bore the load on Urza and her armor. They wanted nothing more than a break and Urza was happy to indulge them for a bit. Her sprint slowed quickly to a walk and Urza made her way slowly around the track. It was clear this task was going to be much more difficult than any strength feat, for which Urza was more adapted for. The young Knight placed her hands on her head as she tried to get her breathing under control. As she walked she wondered. What was this town like. Was the food good? Were the blacksmiths good? Would her father find work? Was there a church to pray at? So many question. And with time perhaps they would be answered. For now, she needed to focus on her training.

As Urza rounded the last 1/4th of the track she felt her legs recover. The muscles still burned and were sore, but they had recovered enough that they could stand to bare at least another lap. So slowly picking up speed Urza ran. Faster and fater until she was in a full sprint. She felt the wind of her speed licking at her face. Her hair bounced to and fro. Her armor clinked with each step. Her sword bounced lightly at her sit, tapping her every once and a while as it swung. Urza's breath was heavy, and she was beginning to grow tired. But she had so far to go. She was going to get 10 laps done, and God help her if she didn't kill herself doing it. Urza grunted as ferocity took hold of her. She would conquer this Holy armor. She would make it an asset, not a hindrance.

As Urza finished another lap she once more had to stop. Her breathing had become so strained she feared that she may hyperventilate before she had a chance to do another. It seemed clear to Urza that she had a lot of training ahead of her. She was still so slow. Urza wished a bit that she had spent more time on recovery now, as she was feeling pretty drained. If she didn't find her stride here in a few laps she should have to take a few minutes to recover. It was time she didn't have. Urza had to get this done before class, and seeing as she didn't know what to expect she would have liked to be in tip top condition to attend. Urza crossed her arms across her chest and gave a silent prayed to the God of Earth. She asked him for the power to life her armor like air, and endurance, to be as strong as the earth in her running.

It was apparent to Urza after walking a bit that she had not adequately prepared to do this exercise. Her mouth was beginning to taste like cotton, and her sides were starting to cramp. She was clearly dehydrated, but had left her water by the dojo. Urza was stubborn though. She would run until her body gave out. And then, and only then, would she rest. There was to much work to be had, and she was making terrible progress. She should have been half way done by now, but her body was to weak. She had hardly made any progress. Urza waited for that warmth that had enveloped her when she was doing push-ups. The warmth that gave her strength to perform any task set before her.

It seemed no matter what Urza did she could not find that energy that had been so present before. And it seemed her plan for walking around to restore energy was having the opposite effect. It seemed that lugging around her heavy armor in the heat was actually making her more tired. Urza clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. If she couldn't run a lap after this next walk around she would wonder her way back to her water and drink until she felt ready to come back and give it a second go. Urza had given up any hope of running to build endurance once she was done, or reading before class. There was not way she was going to be able to get all of that finished in the time she had left.

There it was. Urza closed her eye, feeling the warmth of light that had been there before. She could do it... Opening her eyes Urza planted her feet into the ground, using all of her force to push off into a sprint once more. Adrenalin pumped through the girls vain as foot by foot she ran around the track. She felt as light as air and each step she seemed to pick up speed. Urza smiled as she ran, she persevered where other may have quit. And for it she was being rewarded. She was being blessed with the gift of strength. Though it may not last long, it was enough to give her motivation. She couldn't quit, not now. She had already come so far. Maybe she was tired, and maybe her body wanted to rest. But she had come so far. Rest was for later, for now... She would run.

As Urza ran she noticed something peculiar, she wasn't tired. All the pain that her limbs had been suffering before seemed to just melt away. Speed and power seemed to replace the pain. Each muscle pulsed with energy, every step seemed to carry Urza forwards ever faster. It was not long before Urza had made her way all the way around the track for the second lap in a row. And something about it sparked a revelation in Urza. The only way for her to get stronger was to push her body to the breaking point, than just a hair further. It was the challenge that made you stronger, the want to give up, but the will to say no, and press on. Urza found this will in her strength and her faith. She wondered where others found theirs.
