"Happiness can exist only in acceptance."- George Orwell
Peter ran a hand over his jet black Mohawk and looked about at the motley crew before him wondering why he had even considered doing training in the military in the first place. Of course, like any other self-respecting drill sergeant, he always thought this, if not shouted it at the top of his lungs each and every time he got a new platoon to torture in his own way.
He was the sort of person who, if he did not believe in something, really could not actually do it. Peter knew full well that this might, and most probably would cost him future promotions, however, he told himself that he would, one, not really like it there, judging by those he knew in such ranks, and, two, was comfortable enough where he was.
Peter was not the type who enjoyed facing off to the 'nobbs' as his country folk called them. Indeed, because he was a, as said above, 'country boy', he had really no idea who to really behave in the company of such people, making him very seriously uncomfortable, which always put him into a bad temper, something to be reckoned with. And then, if that 'nobb', to use the term was unwise enough to actually insult, even in that veiled manner in which 'nobby' people usually do, then that 'nobby' person often got even, as it were, 'more nobby'.
It was something he had managed to get out of, thanks to some good people in good places who knew Peter and his temper, not to mention just how much he was worth, especially in times like these when the population of those like him were drastically, even shockingly dropping.
At any rate, after much groaning and annoyance, Peter generally was happy with the cadets who left what his friends-in-arms called 'Prater's Daycare'.
Looking at the cadets now, Peter bellowed.
"ATTENTION!"
And then continued his announcement in a slightly less ear-drum-shattering volume once the cadets had taken up formation.
"We will be moving onto the 3DMG Ability Test. Your names will be called in tens. Those called will then head to a Scaffold and be wired-up by the personnel manning each and every Scaffold separately. You need do nothing until you are hitched up by those belts that are covering those useless asses of yours. Once the all clear is given by your team, you will be hoisted into the air where you must keep your balance for a count of ten. Those who are not able to do so cannot continue to 3DMG training and will be honorably dismissed."
Peter paused here, running his dark eyes over the assembled and rather apprehensive-looking heads of the cadets, looking more like a bull looking for a red cloak, than a man...
He continued with a list of other names then took up place looking on as his legion-mates helped the cadets to 'wire-up', that is, get hooked up to that intricate and complex maze of steel wire that would be suspending them from the ground. Peter knew full well that those who failed had no chance of mastering the 3DMG. Even if they passed, though, there was no guarantee that they would graduate, however that would not be the biggest obstacle in their lives as military personnel, he knew...

(OOC: Sorry for the wait dears, been dragged down and I have forgotten everything, it seems. BUT onto the 3DMG. So let;s get this over and done with ASAP and get back on track, what say you? smile Your task is to describe how your RPC fares with his or her Trial in ONE POST and ONLY ONE POST.

"Life is nothing but a hunt........"
╔══════════════╗
Ivan not following the moment as well as he should have realized the position he was in after Jackonai was against him after the initial contact she seemed to be attempting to break his joint? Ivan panicking a little quickly steeled his nervous and began to pull up almost like he was lifting weights but it was far from easy seeing as she was pulling down on his arm with some force but the thought of his joint most likely being shattered gave him a bit of a boost.....To put it simple he didn't want a broken arm or worse a missing limb form his elbow down. Ivan still pulling his arm up as thou lifting weights decided to be a little on the offensive and so with his free hand Ivan made two quick jabs to Jackonai's ribs with as much force as he could put into the hits with his mind mostly focused on his bent arm.
Ivan of course had a long train of thoughts going through his head about having a shattered joint that could most likely sever his arm for his elbow......He had heard something like that and didn't want that to happen to him, Why? Because he needed his arm to hunt titans and to make his mother and father proud and a missing arm was no where in his goal.

".........But only the strongest survive"
Sorry for the small post getting ready for a weekend trip.
XXXXJeircho heard his name called for, what he assumed, was there next task. About time. Jericho walked up to the very tall structure. The wires were obviously there to suspend him. As Jericho walked in between the the tall legs of the structure, Sergeant Franz's comrades decided to strap him to the wires, connecting them to his belt. Jericho could already feel the anxiety rush to his veins. He had already embarrassed himself enough times, he could only imagine what would happen this time. Right then and there, Jericho slightly began to feel himself lift from the ground. Frantically he looked side to side and could feel himself becoming uneasy. It wasn't long before he realized that he had to remain calm in order to maintain his balance. Calming down, he turned over to look at one of Franz's soldiers rotating a crank.
Once Jericho was fully lifted off the ground, he was suspended by nothing but the wires. Of course this might of be different from the actually 3D manuever gear, but Jericho had to admit, it was pretty difficult. Jericho's body shook and trembled, mostly his arms and legs, but he still managed to stay upright. After given a couple of minutes, he became steady. To give himself more a challenge, he began to sway his legs back and forth, one after the other. Moving each leg within 3 seconds, he moved it quicker. It took some getting use to even though he almost lost his balance a couple of times. Just knowing that failing this task would get him kicked from the legion, he swore to himself to not fail.

Adonis Nuada
Military Cadet In Training
Don't you know looks are deceiving? Is it your eyes or heart that's misleading? Is it the truth or lies you are seeking? Is there solace in knowing and believing?
Adonis snapped to attention as he heard the names of the cadets being called out to start the next training exercise. He listened to the explanation Sergeant Franz gave on how the 3DMG worked. It seemed the cadets would be buckled into the device and the lifted up into the air where they would have to remain upright for at least ten seconds. Balancing was never one of his strong suits since Adonis was a little 'top heavy' was the best way he could describe it. Adonis watched as Cadet Pouge started his session by first getting strapped in and then lifted up. It looked more difficult then Sergeant Franz made it out to be. After about a minute or so Cadet Pouge looked like he had gotten the hang of it and was more steady.
"I can't let it intimidate me. I've come too far to give up now." Adonis thought to himself as he walked over to the empty scaffold in front of him. He stood completely still as the personal began to hook him up. "Are you sure this is safe...Never mind. I'm ready to give it a go I think..." It wasn't that Adonis was scared of the device or being lifted up off the ground. He liked high places, but with something like this it was totally different. He would have nothing to hold onto so if he began to fall and couldn't stabilize himself. Adonis took in a deep breath then let it out before he nodded once to the personal helping him with the 3DMG. Then slowly he felt himself being lifted up off the ground. At first he thought it was fun because being high up allowed him to see the city in a different way, but that feeling quickly faded as he felt himself begin to wobble a little backwards then forwards as he tried to find his center of gravity.
During his training with his fighting teacher it was easy to distribute his weight and get into a strong stance and guard himself, but without the ground under his feet he felt he lost that. He felt like at any moment he would float away to the sky by his ankles while yelling for anyone to come up there and save him. Adonis put both his hands in front of himself and then as he felt himself leaning forward he pushed himself in the opposite direction only to find himself leaning too far backwards. He started to flap his arms frantically like wings trying to get himself upright again. Once he was upright again Adonis began to sway forward then backward for about twenty seconds until he could finally balance himself in the center of the scaffold. He faintly heard the personal helping him start to count backwards "10...9...8..." Adonis mind began to drift was he imagined seeing the sun setting over the city without a wall to protect them since the Titans were finally defeated once and for all. It was only a dream of couse, but it was still a nice thought. "7...6...5..." The counting continued getting slightly louder as Adonis' image of the sunset began to fade away. "4...3..." Adonis could feel the wind blowing gently against his back pushing his whole body slightly forward. "I'm almost done...Just a little more." Adonis thought to himself as he began to hold his breath. Any sudden movement now would send him face forward into the ground. "2...and 1! Cadet Nuada you can come down now." One of the personal told him and then he felt his body being lowered down. Once Adonis had both feet on the ground again he felt the personal start to unhook him from the scaffold. He gave out a sigh of relief once he was finally free of the device then he walked over to his place in line and sat down. "That is something I'll need to practice on for sure." Adonis thought to himself as he watched the other cadets get hooked up to their 3DMG scaffold.

✧ Her attack didn't hit as well as she wanted it to, but meh, close enough. It was just sparring, not like she was fighting for her life. Following the rise, she stood a little taller but noticed the punch too late. Right in the kidneys, and pretty solid too. Dropping to the ground, opposite hand clutching where she had been punched, she made a movement to take out his knee, and with her elbow but inches from its target, her head snapped over to SPF as he called for attention. Dropping her elbow she slowly stood up, faced her partner and ever so slowly the alternate Raya faded away. A playful smile brushed her lips as she extended her hand to Ivan for a handshake. " Not a bad punch. Thanks for the bruise. It's been a while since I got a proper one." Smiling lightly but still aware, she was almost hoping that Ivan would continue fighting her, and they would indeed fight until she had his face in the ground and knee on his back.

Ivan stopped once she had stopped and stood a smile gracing her face, Ivan watched as Jackonai held her hand out Ivan of course extend his hand out as well and shook her hand with a small grin. "Thank you, I must admit you hit harder the some others that I know that are very much larger then you." Ivan said the fight itself he thought was quite satisfactory he thought, Thou he could have done more then the what he ad shown....But at last there is no time to look back on things that have long since passed and could not be brought back

Peter watched the people who were passing and ticked their names off of his checklist. Those few who did not pass where sent on their way home, minus their gear.
Ordering those remaining to line up and put his clip-board under his arm.
"Welcome Cadet Legion "No. 2!" He bellowed and saluted. "You have all passed and will be moving on to 3DMG Maneuver Training. Your new training supervisor will be Corporal Cahune. Make sure you do not disappoint her, or you'll be hearing from me! Dismissed!"

We want to have real missions up and running soon hopefully this weekend, Sorry i've been a bit negligent ( had real life issues last week) but i am getting round my rounds
Ivan listened carefully to Sargent Peter and sighed a little not really up to do anything else, But regardless he would make his way to the place that he was needed and so with a stretch Ivan left the current location with haste

I don't remember who I was supposed to fight, as I lost motivation role playing in this guild when I advanced to my current position in another. I'm sorry, I will be withdrawing from the guild. Apologies to any who have waited so long for me.
