The training with Ranta was proving to be quite challenging, something that Takahiro strongly enjoyed. As Ranta now drew out a total of ten shuriken Taka assumed this meant he had passed the mental testing that came with training, briefly remembering how he'd had to zone himself out while still paying attention to the surroundings. It seemed things would be different this time however as Ranta began to explain the new situation, he would have to perform handseals while avoiding shuriken being thrown at him. It seemed dangerous but Takahiro figured this was the best way to train.

The moment Ranta finished speaking he threw the first pair of Shuriken. Takahiro's reaction time was about average. By the time he'd registered they were being thrown they were already travelling towards him. He would dip to right before immediatly changing his direction and dashing off to the left in hopes of briefly throwing off Ranta, a sort of fake step. He began to go through the hand seal motions; Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram. His handseal skills were quite quick but he found it difficult to focus on his seals while simultaneously keeping an eye out for the Shuriken. Not impossible, just challenging. If his fake step was successful he'd have succesfully completed the challenge and would bring his thumb to his teeth.

If not he would be caught by the shuriken and would let out a bit of a curse at the pain they inflicted before looking to Ranta for any tips or instruction to do it again.
