Keep Pushing! (Shunsui, Hono)

Hono was training almost none stop as of recent, but truth be told she was quite discouraged, she wasn't sure if she was getting anywhere... She left as if she wasn't getting any stronger, but nonetheless, she had to keep it up! Grabbing her Zanpakuto she left her room, heading towards her usually training spot. she had to turn her frustration into motivation! She walked quickly, ignoring any distractions that might have come along the way.

Here she stood, looking at the training dummy in front of her, gripping her Zanpakuto tightly for just a moment, her fingers would loosen getting a comfortable grip on the purple hilt. With one deep breath, she began, slashing at the dummy with her blade. Striking it from the left, and right, up and down. Her slashes lacked a lot of power, however, she was quick, able to land many slashes. After about 10 minutes of sword practice, she would move on to physical exercise. Resting her Zanpakuto against the base of the dummy, before getting down in a pushup position.

With that, it was onto the second part of her workout/training. She pushed herself up and down with her arms. Knowing that her attacks lacked that oomph, it was time to train her strength! Whilst pushing up and down, she would speak to her Zanpakuto often, nothing noteworthy, just a casual comment every so often. Maybe that would get the spirit to start talking to Hono. So far she has had no luck! If she gave up though she would be letting her family and Abalia down. So it was just time to push harder!

Hono couldn't stop pondering just what kind of powers her Zapakuto held inside. Hopefully something impressive! She wanted to be useful so a powerful Zanpakuto would no doubt help the Gotei!
