The Japanese Way [FWC]

Akashi felt Miyabi looking to lift her up. She could feel the girl's muscles tense and knew what was coming. If they were in a match, whether it be sumo or wrestling, Akashi could have stopped Miyabi's attempt easily. However, this wasn't about showing up the rookie but the opposite. She held onto Miaybi's shash just to help keep the balance while she felt their bellies and boobs mash together and Miyani's body strain with the lift.

Akashi smiled warmly as she felt her toes lift up and Miyabi lift her briefly off the ground. When Miyabi set her down, Akashi stepped away and raised Miyabi's hand in the air. <She has the will and the might!" Akashi said in English. "Please, do your best to cheer for her in the upcoming tournament!"

The crowd reacted with a roar and Akashi let go of Miyabi's hand. She turned and bowed to the girl. <Just do your best, Takiyama-san.> She encouraged.

“Grrr!” Miyabi grunted, her muscles straining as she would slowly lift Akashi off of the mat. Already, the training she had been doing with the veteran sumo wrestler was showing results. She was getting stronger. She would only lift Akashi a foot or so off of the mat, but she would hold the AFW superstar up for about half a minute. Superficially, it might not have looked all that impressive. But the arena was filled with dedicated AFW fans. They knew Akashi and knew how heavy she was. Most of them wouldnâ€t be able to do what Miyabi was doing right now. When she set Akashi down, the schoolgirl felt confident that she had given the audience a taste of what she was capable of now that she was training with her idol.

Miyabi smiled and waved to the crowd as Akashi took her by the hand and announced something in English. Miyabi didnâ€t understand what her sensei said, but it sounded complimentary, and so she blushed, her cheeks turning red as she soaked up the applause of the crowd. Akashi let go of her hand, turned to her, and bowed. Miyabi bowed back. <I will!> Miyabi replied. <With your training, Tanikaze-sama, I know I canâ€t lose!>
