I giggled. In the words of me ol' granddaddy, "Some of us got it, some of us don't."
Masaki can look at this way: she's got a body that doesn't quit :V
Also, doesn't the traditional grading count DOWN from the 10 kyu's (10-1), and then counts UP from the 10 dan's (1-10)? Or is figure skating different from martial arts? Though she addresses it similar to karate, which I'm pretty sure does the "kyu ranks progress from the larger number to smaller" thing. For instance, my third kyu trumps someone in fourth or fifth kyu. Well, not that it matters. Sensei once said this:"Treat your testing as simply checkpoints in your martial arts career. Sometimes one's rank may not be a fair indication of their skill in competition."
