She had just begun to dabble in calligraphy, so she was only practicing strokes: horizontal, vertical, falling left, hooking right... She was exceptionally serious about every single stroke.
When her right hand became numb and sore from practice, she switched to her left hand.
Yes, her left hand; this was a course set by the system. She had to learn to write with both hands. The right hand was flexible, with good strength, so it could produce strong and unrestrained characters, while the left hand, soft and light, could yield gentle and delicate characters. She didn’t understand why the system had arranged it this way, but she felt it was good—as it didn’t waste time. When her right hand was tired, she would switch to the left. When the left tired, back to the right.
