‌‌today's an off day at the academy, one of the rare days where it seems like no one has anything important to do or anywhere to be. the halls and the courtyard are busy as ever, and the noise is overstimulating.

as per usual, maki makes an effort not to bother herself with the chatters of her classmates. the quiet ones are always grouped together, and the rowdy ones can't be five feet apart from at least one of them. maki didn't want to partake in whatever sort of chaos they were plotting to do or going through in that moment.

she takes her leave before she gets roped into their nonsense, and makes her way down the hall in silence and solitude. she was careful to avoid whoever was crowding the corridor right now.

this is one of the moments where she would but expected to 'practice her talent' at this school, like they were all assigned to. but, it was difficult to do either of them in a way that mattered. she didn't have anyone to target, and no one to take care of.

instead she pays a visit to one of the empty classrooms, void of both desks and people. from the belt strapped to her calf, she removes the knife she was used to having on her person in case of emergencies. or, well, in case someone stepped a little too close to her more specifically.

she situates herself at the back wall of the room by the door, lines up a shot, and throws the knife straight forward into the chalkboard at the back. this could help bide her time. in a way, this is 'practicing' her talent too, in the event that she was forced to face off against a long range target. the chances of getting into that situation with only a knife were slim, but she couldn't take risks in her line of work.

she approaches the board to pull the knife free with ease. she finds a small piece of chalk on the ground nearby, and draws it across the chalkboard ahead of her. various symbols are written, ranging from a target one might see on a dart board, to smaller dots littered around in random locations. her goal was little more than to test her aim.

she approaches the back of the room when she's done, leaving behind the chalk and waving her hand to dislodge some of the dust from her hand. she turns, and lifts her knife, focusing in on one of the smaller dots on the chalkboard.

her focus is unwavering in this moment. of course, that's subject to change.
