(I little bit later...*cough*)

"Kiro's done this a few times, so you can just follow his lead on this one." Master Roshi informed his new pupil, as they all stood in front of a large lake located somewhere towards the middle of the island. 

"Yeah, newbie, hopefully you can keep up." Kiro chuckled, as he started to do some warm-up stretches. He too had a turtle shell on, but he made it seem a bit lighter, as he had gotten used to the weight over time. 

"You both will swim twenty laps around the lake without rest." Master Roshi noted.

"What!? I thought it was ten!?" Kiro complained, as this was the first time his training had actually been doubled.

"Do you want to be in shape to fight in the tournament or not!?" The old man yelled at Kiro, giving the boy a hard hit to the head with his staff.

"Oh, right!" Kiro gave a nod of determination, as without notice to Akita (more than likely on purpose), he leapt in the water, breaststroking his way around the lake at quite the speed.
