The captain was prepared on his station. His eyes were locked on the orange cones as he stood in the center of them. The exercise would usually take twelve quick staggering hops per round, but this was the captain we are talking about, so he wouldn't dare stop at twelve. 

Kimura turned to Rikyu. "Fifty hops, non-stop. I'll go first, then we rotate" and with that, the captain blasted off into hops. Like a sound pulse, he busted through the laws of physics to move faster. Some would say his feet became invisible. Like Taki, Kimura was also known for his speed, but their speeds differed in many ways. From what Kimura could see, Taki had a sort of, endurance speed. This meant that he got faster as he continued to move, so the longer he ran, the faster he got. The captain on the other hand had what some would call, quick feet. His speed came from his reaction timing. It is a short distance burst of speed, but it is very well needed when it comes to the sport of basketball. This exclusive quickness made Kimura a great defender. His steals were the base line of his game, other than his layups and turnarounds. This was the reason he chose Rikyu to be his partner for the exercise. From what he knows of this 'Shadow', steals and passing is a big part of his game. Therefore, he had to help Rikyu sharpen his senses in order to progress in his speed. 

Once Kimura finished his hundred, which didn't take too long, it was Rikyu's turn. "Alright Rikyu, go at your own pace, but make sure you don't trip. Keep an eye on your target, don't lose focus. Now go!" 

Words of encouragement from the Captain meant he actually cared for your success, therefore Rikyu shouldn't take them for granite.
