Who: Germany and anyone who was interested in coming to Daily Training Drills, whether you replied to his post or not, all are welcome

Edward had arrived on time, at the park when Germany had requested, at half-past-five. He was uncertain whether Germany's training would be the same as that he had previously encountered with his Teacher back home, Izumi Curtis, but he figured that it was a means to keep in shape. It also provided more chance to adjust to his new limbs as well.
The blonde's expression was one of disbelief and confusion at the scenario Germany gave involving England. However, the boy managed to complete the drills and do as instructed throughout. Ed was fit and very agile from his training with Izumi, constant exercises and being involved in the military after all.
"Excellent, Edward! Keep it up, just like that!" Germany barked at the young lad, frowning furiously but obviously rooting him on.
After Edward was done with a set of exercises, Germany stepped forward. "You are indeed quite talented. What was your experience before coming here? You are more than a mere teenager, I see that now."
"Eheh. Well, I had a very strict Teacher back home that taught me that 'to train the mind, one must first train the body'. And I was also in the military. So, I'm used to fighting and exercising to keep in shape." the boy explained to Germany as he wiped at his brow.
He wasn't as fast as he would have liked, and clearly his fitness, to him, needed more work, but he supposed considering the circumstances of still adjusting to his limbs, he was doing alright. Just not as well as he would have done had he been still equipped with his automail and at full strength. Still, this training would be a step back to such physical condition. Ed kept reminding himself of that throughout the training. This was nothing in comparison to what he had been through at home, particularly on Yock Island in his training with Izumi.
Meanwhile, in the park very near to wherever Germany is doing his training, one man is holding his own training drills. By which I mean, he is brandishing an extremely large stick and practicing complicated and cool looking martial art looking maneuvers with it, such as jumping up and kicking a low hanging branch off a tree or spinning the stick in midair before bringing it down to split a convenient log.
Occasionally, he'll pause to turn towards the Germany training session and call out, "Oi! If any of you are done puttin' up with that bullshit over there, get over here and let me teach you how a man fights!!!"
Osaka had decided to come for training as well, because she hadn't really been exercising at all lately. Yomi had warned her about how fitness was important, and that neglecting it was dangerous. This seemed like a good opportunity to follow Yomi's advice [even though Osaka suspected that Yomi herself didn't really follow it], and Germany kinda reminded her of Nyamo-sensei, her old gym teacher.
However-- Osaka was pretty terrible at sports. She could only reach her knees when she bent down for one of stretching exercises, and she was just generally bad at the training. The mental training didn't go any better either- her answer to Germany's question was too start asking facts about swordfish. Maybe if Chiyo-chan was there, Osaka wouldn't have looked so bad besides her, but most of the people around seemed to have had military experience.

"Work hard, and you WILL achieve perfection! You will be ready for any kind of attack, and come out the victor!!" he barked to his troops.

It was too bad. At least Osaka meant well.
