It doesn't take long for Ryoma with the forward slip drill before the difference becomes obvious, not just to Nakahara, but to everyone watching.
The movement already looks unnaturally refined despite Ryoma trying it seriously for the first time. His head slips cleanly beneath the rope, his torso rolls fluidly from side to side, and more importantly, the lower body never loses connection beneath him.
Every step flows naturally into the next without stiffness or wasted motion.
Even Okabe slowly lowers his gloves while watching.
"…Damn," he mutters.
Aramaki clicks his tongue quietly. "Seriously… this guy really can learn anything way too fast."
Ryoma is taller than both of them, yet somehow the exact same rope height still looks perfectly suited to his frame. The movement remains compact, smooth, and strangely elegant despite the pressure-oriented mechanics.
Even the transitions from right-to-left and left-to-right look equally natural, without one side lagging behind the other.
