This didn't sound that hard at all, the wrath child didn't usually make a habit of hitting rocks but she was sure with her combined genes it wouldn't take much effort. Still this is what was asked of her and this is what Mareike would do.
The thistle haired young woman moved over to where the practice dummies were and took a calming breath. She settled into her most familiar stance and tried to think about being connected to the ground rather than just standing on it as she struck out with her left first.

Enzo crossed his arms and quietly supervised her method for hitting. He was proud that she took the correct stance and thus connected her firmly to earth and the magic power inherent in both the element and her.
When she reached out and struck the training-dummy there was a faint creak and then for a moment nothing until the stand holding it up snapped and the dummy fell over. The ex-priest gave a cheerful laugh and clapped his hands together, "Good! Yes, move on to the next dummy. You will find them becoming firmer as you go down the line, when you are ready we will try the boulder."

Mareike grinned at the praise and nodded, still she wouldn't get too cocky yet. The last time the girl had overestimates her skills she's wound up in J'her's grasp fully controlled by the lust demon's pheromones. It was a different situation but still, Mareike would take this all seriously.
The wrath child moved to the Next dummy and struck again using her enchanced vision to try and perfect her aim to hit the weakest point of the dummy.

Enzo watched the progress as she moved on down the line. With each hit and destruction she managed a varying array of destruction until there was nothing left. The last one was hit so efficiently that it essentially exploded in sawdust and splinters.
The ex-priest nodded approvingly but said, "Go, make your mark upon the boulder, make it the signature that proves that you were once here and will not go down without a good fight. That is the true nature of the Resilient Earth."

The girl liked the sounds of that, a lasting impression in stone, some sign that she had existed. Though even as a wrath child her hands stung a little from her advancement, not enough to deter her but enough to remind her that she was still a work in progress. Mareike clenched and unclenched her fists as she approached the boulder, there was no weak point to such an object she could only do this if she focus and let the magic help her. The thistle haired girl took another calming breath and she squared herself up to the giant rock and struck out with her left hand to make her mark.

At first there seemed to be nothing, but thanks to her determination, stance, and various other things within the air the stone gave ever so slightly beneath her fist, forming around it. There was also a few fissions and cracks around where her fist landed. Thanks to her focus she managed to make a sizeable dent
"Good! Very nice Mareike! You have done well, that is all I have to show you until next we should meet, if it is ordained for us to do so." Enzo said by way of concluding the lesson.
