A week had passed since Kiernan's meeting with Sozen, and the All-Mixed Beginner Tournament was looming in the distance.
It was only a week away.
There wasn't school today, so Cleo and Jock had already arrived at the dojo, chatting among each other in the yard with smiles on their faces.
During the past week, Cleo had focused her training on the Iron Style stance, which she had become comfortable with, and for the last few days, she had been perfecting her form and balance.
She had also done conditioning training, preparing herself for the first set of techniques of Iron Style.
Jock, on the other hand, had been working hard at training his body and had started his offense training as well.
Jabs, crosses, hooks, and upper cuts. He was well versed in those already. He had also started to train his footwork.
His footwork was quite non-existent over in the tag-team competition, as he couldn't keep up his stance while moving.
