Rika let out a breath as moved into an open palmed strike that released a torrent of flames as it was completed, finishing the complex kata she’d been doing and making up the most recent part of her current training regimen. She'd take a break before continuing from here before resuming with more conditioning. She’d been practicing since the early morning, having woken up and checked her traps to find she had caught more than enough food for breakfast before heading out to the small clearing near where she’d set up camp. While her actual camp was farther in the mountains, her training area was at the very edge of the Finnek forest, near the mountains, but not really in it.
She still had to work on finding a way to access the dust more easily, though she had found she could store some vials of dust within the bracers on either arm, giving somewhat easy access to it for the purpose of combat. Her bag containing more dust and crystals still. She had some ideas on how she could use dust better with her weapon, but such things would need to wait until she could find someone to improve the whip. The pigtailed girl took a brief look at the clearing she’d been training in, noting the devastation of the area. Burned scars in the area and gaps or holes in the ground seemed to cover the area, with spikes and boulders sticking through the ground seemingly with no order to them. All sorts of devastation one could find from the use of dust in combat could be found in the area, but none of it bothered the pigtailed faunus. A small wrapped parcel being pulled from a satchel on her back as she took out her lunch.
The training undoubtedly created a lot of light and sound let alone the damage to the area., making the choice to take her training trip away from either the academy or the city, as she probably would have gotten in trouble otherwise. Still the dust training had been far from subtle and would likely have attracted the attention of anyone within the area to her location.
