It was Mario's turn to train Inmo and he was getting repeatedly frustrated as Inmo refused to listen to anything he said. Kit had been easier to train while he had had her, but because of the bad impression he had made on Inmo had made him impossible to work with. He was tempted to hit Inmo but really he knew that would solve nothing. Plus he could see that Inmo was getting frustrated as well and it was making his shots even worse.

Finally, Mario just called out. "Stop Inmo."

When it looked like the exploder wasn't going to listen to him, he knocked down each of the targets with a move of his own before saying. "Break time."

Inmo sat with a huff even as he did the same. Mario set a tin down and pulled out some freshly made bread and offered it to Inmo who took it hesitantly and started to munch on it, eyes widening when it turned out to be really good.

"Your getting frustrated and its making your aim even worse." When Inmo opened his mouth to interrupt, Mario glared at him pointedly for trying to talk while his mouth was full, which shut him up. Mario then continued. "The problem is, I think, that while I am trying to train you, our relationship is not a positive one, and it is effecting the way we work together. I'm not asking that you like me, I'm asking that you listen to my advice to help train you."

When Inmo started to shake his head, Mario sighed before sitting back. "Let me tell you a story." Inmo looked confused but paid attention as Mario began. "When I first came to this guild, I had to go through training just like you. While it was mostly with Ritchie and Brandon, Daveed was also one of the ones who trained me."

Inmo looked surprised at that but continued to munch on his bread while Mario continued. "The thing was, Daveed and I had hated each other from the moment we met, he knew how to rub me the exact wrong way. So when it came to training, you can imagine I didn't listen very well to him. For the first couple days, it was just us two arguing until Ritchie came to observe our training and he saw that I had learned basically nothing. So he questioned us and we had to admit that we had only argued. He was furious. He had a long talk with each of us in private but one thing he said to me in particular is something you need to hear."

"Oh?" Inmo asked.

"Yes. He said to me that 'You're going to have to work with people you don't like. In some cases, you'll work with people you hate more than anything in the world. You might even end up working with someone who has captured you. You will have to though and when you do it, you need to just grin and bear it. Because when you work with someone, you'll come out a little stronger for it, but only if you cooperate with the person you're working with. Otherwise, you'll regress in all that you've already done.'" Mario told him before sighing and saying. "Inmo, I know we have not seen eye to eye since you joined the guild but just try and work with me. So we can both get a little stronger for this."

Inmo was silent for a moment before he nodded. Mario smiled slightly before saying. "Alright then, finish your bread and we'll get back to training."

Inmo swallowed the piece he was chewing on before asking. "By the way, where'd you get the bread, its really good."

"I made that this morning." Mario told him with a smirk causing Inmo to gape at him even as he walked over to set up the targets once more.
