Re: Martial Arts Class

She sighed again as she pressed her palms together. This was nothing that wasn't trivial, but that was just it. She couldn't do it to her full capacity. Guesstimating, she let her energy flow, but only about a fifth of her normal. She was aiming for a lower level than Ran. It flowed fine, though she let it waver. She just wished she knew how much Ran could do.

Dagomis stopped playing his flute, as Xexame walked in. He noticed that he walked up to one of the students and asked her the location of the teacher. She hadn't yet responded nor did Dagomis choose to respond. He, merely, bowed respectively toward Bartimeaus. "Thank you for having me in your class, Bartimaeus-senpai. I'm sorry, but I must leave and start my own class." After bowing and taking a final look at the bonsai tree. He, quickly, walked to the door and spoke, as to not be rude, "Goodbye everyone." The door was then opened and Dagomis made his exit. Quietly closing the door behind himself.

Moving slowly, not opening her eyes, she nodded in the direction of the panther. Her energy seemed fairly stable now, if weak, it still fluttered and wavered on occasion.

He nodded to Mamoru and padded over to Medina. "Focus, don't let anything distract you. And please, use all of your power. This is not a class in which you will be taught restraint." He then, on his hind legs, padded over to Xexame. "I'm glad to see I have another student. I'd ask you to please be on time next class. I am Bartimaeus. You are?" He didn't hold out his paw to shake his hand, considering his claws were unable to be sheathed. He didn't want to hurt him.

She groaned and opened her eyes mumbling. "Sorry, but my old teachers wouldn't let me try anymore until I could handle that much correctly...."

by **Hei** January 7th 2009, 7:48 pm

He nodded. "Understandably. But damming a river does not stop its motion; you cannot hamper your energy. Use all of it. Your focus is being weakened by your suppression of power."

Rorak walked slowly into the classroom. Being one of the oldest teachers at Sentou Gakuin, he wanted to make sure how each teacher taught his or her students. As he walked into the classroom, he was surprised to see it transformed into a dogo, including a rock garden and a beautiful bonsai plant. His thoughts drifted back to his childhood, when his parents were still alive. Even though he could not remember what they looked like, he could remember the smell of a bonsai plant and the tranquility of a small waterfall splashing into a small pool. His own little rock garden.

He shook himself from the distant memories to the present. He saw two young students meditating, a small bonsai plant in front of each of them. To their right, a panther, standing on its hind legs, were giving the two students intructions. That must be the new teacher. Not wanting to interrupt the flow of the lesson, Rorak walked around the perimeter of the dojo until he stood underneath the bonsai tree. There, he sat and began to meditate as well. When first learning Martial Arts in the army, they used this excersize ofter, releasing blocked chi and calming the mind. A good first lesson for these students. Tranquility is a main part in martial arts.

He looked to East and saw Gandalf riding down the hill with an army behind him, charging at the forces of mordor. Lol sorry I had to.

Bartimaeus saw another Tsurabi enter his class and nodded to him. He didn't want to speak lest he break Medina's concentration.

by **Vivian** January 8th 2009, 9:29 pm

Medina began to softly chant, her energy level slowly rising, but more stable than before. It rose about 1.5 times more than originally.

"When the crystal breaks the dawn
And grey pierces the sky,
We weep below as we search for the key,
The fighter, the shifter, the warrior,
The Prophet, The Summoner, The Alchemist.

Fire rains from the sky,
The Earth trembles beneath our feet,
We stare in wonder and disbelief as we hold back the tears.

Now what lays ahead for us?"

She opened one eye, the energy flow dying away with her song. "Er, sorry. Did I disturb anyone?"

by **Hei** January 8th 2009, 10:02 pm

Bartimaeus could feel the ki change almost immediately. "No... no, that was very good. The stability of your ki was phenomenal for someone at your level. Take that feeling that you just experienced and try to recreate it without the song or concentration."

by **Vivian** January 8th 2009, 10:40 pm

She tried again, with much less stellar results. After a few more minutes she sighed. "Its not working..."

by **purpleregiment7** January 8th 2009, 11:03 pm

Rorak raised his eyebrow while listening to the girl chant. It seemed familiar, yet he could not remember exactly where he heard it from.

by **Vivian** January 8th 2009, 11:07 pm

The girl looked up at him. "Hello. Are you another teacher?"

by **purpleregiment7** January 9th 2009, 10:26 am

Rorak gave a short nod. He was still trying to remember where he had heard that haunting song before.

by **Hei** January 9th 2009, 6:07 pm

The panther sighed. It really was becoming a nuisance having people burst into his classroom.

by **Vivian** January 9th 2009, 6:30 pm

"Er, sorry, Sensei." She turned back to Barti. "Shall I go again without the song?"

by **Hei** January 9th 2009, 7:22 pm

"No. Imagine the song playing in your head and try it like that." Ki control must be customised to every student. That's why he had only a few seats open in martial arts class.

by **Vivian** January 9th 2009, 8:34 pm

She nodded and tried again. Her energy blossomed within her, not as strong as the time with the song, but still fairly strong.

by **Hei** January 9th 2009, 8:53 pm

"There we go. Very good, very good. Hold out your hands." When she did as he asked, he placed two small pebbles on her palms. "Now focus your energy to these points."

by **Vivian** January 9th 2009, 10:15 pm

She grinned. The two pebbles lifted from her palms, with her energy flaring a little bit. The energy now was infused in the pebbles, which flew around the room. "Even I can control the Earthmother's reach." She was smirking.

by **Hei** January 10th 2009, 2:53 pm

He smiled. "Very good, I would expect nothing less. Very well then." He reverted back to human although his ears and whiskers and tail were still visible as he walked over to a table in the corner. He picked up a pair of gloves which were covered in runes. "Ki suppression." He put them on. "They reduce my ki to .01% so that I won't hurt my students." He walked back over to Medina and stood in front of her. "Try to hit me."

by **Vivian** January 10th 2009, 8:13 pm

"With the rocks or...."

by **Hei** January 10th 2009, 8:58 pm

"Hah! With your fists, of course."

by **Lockheart42** January 10th 2009, 10:38 pm

While everything was going on and people were appearing, Ran couldn't help but become distracted. She tried to tune out the sounds going on by keeping her eyes closed and thinking of other things, but it wasn't going too well. First a boy walks in, then a teacher, then singing. What next? She wasn't the kind of person to say so much to a point where it could offend somebody, so she remained silent. However, the many sounds going on were beginning to become too distracting. All she could do was sigh.

by **Hei** January 11th 2009, 9:34 am

His ear twitched as he heard Ran sigh. Animals had an innate sixth sense that allowed them to tell what others felt; he could feel that Ran was frustrated. "Hey, Ran. There's a small door in the back of the room that leads to my office. How about you try to concentrate in there? It's much quieter. I'll come in in a few minutes to check on your progress." He returned to focusing on Medina.
