This class had thrown Peri for a bit on how to set it up. Blacks were really best at just killing everyone around them. But she'd finally come up with an idea and gotten the techs to modify one of the terrain rooms for it. Now, she was waiting in the modified room, waiting for her student to show up.
The room had been one with a large pond in it, but mud had been brought in and turned the pond into more of a swampy area. The water was clouded and algae was starting to grow on the surface of the water. It was perfect.... if you were a black dragon. Peri was already wanting out of the room to shower and get the smell off of her clothes.

Chath didn't have to persaude Keir to come, after mentioning that the black was going to get another chance to learn fighting or...something along those lines he nearly dragged Chath to the class. In fact...so impatient that the black had basically tossed Chath onto his back and flown there.
It had been a rather terrifying experience but after they had landed Chath had never been so happy to see the ground in his life; they entered the building to find the room for their class.
Upon entering he gave a wave to Peri and then did a double take, uh wait...no that wasn't Peri...that was a woman.
"Um...sorry..did I come into the wrong classroom?" he inquired backing up a couple steps Keir only strode forward coming up to the woman his nostrils flaring as he identified the woman..to be Peri. He offered a low growl before taking a couple steps back, his head swiveled to look around the terrian. It...was perfect...a blacks dream home.

Peri blinked at the boy's comment and shook her head. "No, it's Peri... just... got cursed." She muttered, still not happy about it. "Anyways. This class should be... interesting, if not fun. Blacks usually live in very swampy areas like this and they can breathe underwater. They also stalk their prey from under the water sometimes to catch the creature unaware. So I figured we work with that today."

Chath kind of just looked at Peri dumbly. you can be cursed like that? the idea was a bit terrifying. To wake up one day and suddenly be the opposite sex?? He only nodded his head a but slowly as Peri explained the purpose of the class.
"Yeah....Keir turned our pond into his own...swamp. " he explained remembering how his mother was not pleased in the least.
"Um...so .." he started but even as he slid off his dragon only to have Keir immediately go and submerge himself in the closest water.
It was obvious the black was more than pleased by the present situation...

Peri grimaced. "Yeah..." She quickly moved on, not wanting to linger on the subject for too long. "Anyways, they're supposed to be able to stalk their prey from the swampy water, so we're going to test that." She glanced down at the modified pond. "I'm hoping he won't hurt you too much... but I couldn't think of anything else to use as a target. So we'll just have you walk around the pond and see if he can tackle you... GENTLY!" She added, directing that at the pool of water.

This would be a second time Keir was givin permission to try an attack him. The last time was when he learned he could sucrete the toxin from his skin. He looked a bit unsure of this...Keir had been smaller before.
Keir raised a head as he looked to Peri in a new light. Was that...a pleased smile on his toothy face? He had heard what the he/she had said...and sunk into the water until only a ripple showed where he had once been.
Chath sighed, gave Peri another look before readying himself for the worst. Peri wasn't aware that Keir often did not..play nice. In fact he had once attacked Chath while they were swimming in a river. He only hoped he would leave this class unscathed.
Trotting over towards the pond that Keir had dissapeared in, his eyes blinked as he tried to make out the dragons form. But...he couldn't...it was too murky. He was being watched...even if he didn't know it.

Peri had some concerns about the class, but she could only hope that the black would like the boy well enough to not kill the kid. Plus, the kid could regrow limbs and such, so that would help him... right? Truthfully, Peri hadn't been able to think of any other way to set up a target that could move. So now she just crossed her fingers and hoped for the best.

Like a animal knowing it was being stalked, the newt moved...cautiously . His eyes were trained on the pond...the swamp water revealed nothing under its surface. He paused as he took another step, every muscle in his body was tense, he knew what was coming.
The dragon was biding his time, watching eagerly for the boy to be within lunging range. yes...yes..he was unwittingly getting closer and closer.
Chath only caught the briefest of movements before suddenly a speeding maw of teeth was coming at him. He was probably lucky that the mud under his foot slid out from under him, but he took the advantage to dive head first into the swamp. His eye sight was clouded instantly but he took the chance to swim under his dragon and tried to stay out of the way of the claws and tail.
Keir gave a roar of annoyance and then turned his head back down into the swamp looking for Chath. There was silence as the water stilled. It was a bit eerie.

Ah, the class was taking an interesting turn. But Peri wondered what Keir would do when Chath surfaced. For the boy would not be able to breathe underwater like the black. Unless he'd learned a spell... what did those magic teachers teach again? Eh, magic was not his forte. Not at all.
But Keir had done fairly well at his first attempt to tackle the boy from the water. Now, to only speed up some. Transitioning from water to air was a bit of a challenge and Peri had a feeling the black would have to learn to compensate accordingly...

The newt knew better than to stay under water for any length of time with his dragon also there. Keir was a much faster swimmer than he was...and much larger. It didn't take him long to duck under the claws and tail to then swim up to the surface. He knew he would be vulnerable there, especially with his back turned. But as he broke the surface he instantly turned around.
The black spotted Chath heading for the edge of the pond, it didn't take him long to dive back under to attack from below.
Chath...wasn't lingering long where he was..not that it matter, all of a sudden he knew what was going to happen as Keir had done this before. He found himself flying through the air as Keir basically came from below and used his head like a battering ram to push him out of the water and sailing through the air.
The newt luckily hadn't been thrown quite so high in the air, but he landed heavily in the mud and it took him a couple of seconds to regain his breath that was knocked out of him.
Keir was smug, it showed on his dragon like grin as he then stalked towards the boy.

Peri did not like where this was going. "Okay, good good... You've got that down... So... onto the next thing!" She'd been worried that the black may not behave too well for the class and had set up another task just in case. And it seemed that it had paid off.
"Inside the pond are five spheres, hidden among the mud and plants... Go find them." Okay, so... not exactly something challenging... but it was a distraction technique at least?

The black dragon didn't seem to hear her, or was just blatantly ignoring her. Chath was still trying to get up, his back ached from hitting the ground, and he was covered in mud but even as he tried to stagger to the side, the black reared his head to then open his large jaws and spit a wad of acid at him.
The expression on Chath's face was a mixture of horror and ******** me, it hit him square in the chest as he had not bee so lucky this time around in trying to dodge the attack. The smell of flesh burning reached his nostrils not to mention the pain, but he was already diving back into the pond as he knew the water would at least help neutralize it....somewhat.
Still looking smug the black watched as Chath dove back into his domain and then snaked his head around to watch him. Chath was lucky that the mud has saved him from a rather serious acid burn. Only a couple splotches of skin actually got a direct hit, but even in the water he knew he wasn't ******** ..there he was again...
Chath wasn't a big fan of feeling like he was prey, and to the black he was more than just prey he was a chew toy. Something fun to play with before the kill. He had always tried to trust his black...he had protected him from that other black hadn't he? Well...at least tried.
Back peddeling he headed for the bottom. Peri had something about something hidden down here right? Maybe he could find whatever it was and distract Keir long enough to get back out. The black was taking his time, knowing full well he had the advantage of being a dragon. He watched as Chath was frantically searching the bottom of the pond...but Keir didn't care as he swam along purposely towards the newt.

Chath was still at the bottom of the pond trying to find whatever it was Peri had mentioned, he didn't want his dragon to fail the class, and he certianly didn't want to have to redo the class. His hand clasped onto something and he pulled it out of the muck to discover a sphere. Yanking it out of the weeds and mud , he turned to suddenly find teeth coming towards him.
Yanking his arm back he was lucky to narrowly be missed. Taking the spehere he thrust it towards Keir smashing it against the blacks nose. Keir reared his head back as he hadn't expected Chath to actually recipricate against him. Whatever it was that struck him had made his nose sting but it was nothing more than an irritation.
Chath was already long gone, taking the opertunity to get out of of the water before Keir recovered.
He sputtered as his head broke the surface but he was already clambering onto the bank the sphere in his hand although rather dented.
Keir's head broke the surface with a roar of anger the black seemed to be ...enjoying the class a bit too much.

Peri was relieved to see her student emerge from the pond in one piece. She quickly stuffed a dart into the tranquilizer gun and aimed carefully for one of the weak spots on the part of the black that she could see. More than likely, one dart wouldn't knock Keir out, but hopefully it would have enough of an effect to calm him down...
