She had been focusing lately on leg power to match her opponent, and Paule could feel the stiffness in her tights. But Paule brushed that off. If she wanted to become the next Dojo Ace, she had to become strong. Besides, Paule was committed to further Hisakuma's education. And it was working, Hisakuma was getting better at English! With her backpack slung over her shoulder, Paule embarked on her trip to Oni's villa, but not before waving everyone in the dojo goodbye. First, she waved goodbye to Huldra who was in the hallway, then to Noire who came out of her room undressed as always, she approached the training room and energetically waved goodbye to Little Beaver as she stretched. Paule shied away a little when she saw Maaike. Paule felt regret: She hadn't been nice to her. And she wanted to apologize. Just she didn't know how yet. Someday...today she will, she just needed to find the best present! Paule walked towards the exit thinking about shops she could visit on the way back, but before she did she entered the kitchen and grabbed one egg from LILLITH's latest batch as she waved her good morning.
