Regardless of anything and everything that stood in his very way, he was going to make sure that he was not going to fall behind anyone and everyone in his path to power. breathing heavier and heavier was not a good sign for him and that he may have need of rest soon, but he was barely feeling anything that was hindering him for continuing his training. shaking his head to focus on the task he had set ahead for himself, Makoto started to push his very limits again for the ultimate good of everyone who was around him.... he had family and friends he needed to defend, this was all he wanted to do. Defending them meant he had to get stronger, faster, sharper, and healthier then before, stronger then even now actually. Finally approaching the tree that was his destination for this lap, he started to jog his way to the tree to see the results of his labor. Looking back at the last tree, he could tell that he had a healthy start on catching up to everyone. Wisdom Training - Inactive

 Now that Urza had finished her stamina training she figured it was time to work on her strength a bit more. She hated to do this again to another tree, but it seemed the quickest and honestly most fun way for her to get stronger. Urza looked at the tree that she had been jumping around and hanging off of. It was almost a shame that she had to beat it up, but at the end of the day, it if help Urza protect her friends she would do it. She would have to remind herself to plant new tree's later to replace the ones she was beating up. This time however Urza didn't set the goal of knocking all the leafs off the tree, instead she would just go until she splintered the tree bad enough that she felt she should stop. Urza took her stance and started with a good punch to the tree. Automatically the tree cracked and splintered away at her punch, leaving a fist sized crater in the trunk. Urza knew she was getting stronger, but she would have never have guessed by this much.
Urza readied her stance again, and once more threw a punch at the tree, Her fist collided with the bark, and once more sent a shower of splinters flying away from the tree. At this rate she would have to go get the training dummies from the dojo so she didn't accidentally deforest the entire training grounds. Urza was amazed at the strength she had amassed during her earlier training. As she looked at the condition of the tree after two punches Urza let a grin spread across her face. The Maker was truly giving her his strength right now. Urza wondered just how much force it would take to beat down a tree. All the way down, straight through the center. Urza was sure she didn't have the strength for that sort of feet yet. But maybe in time she would get an answer to that question.
Urza remembered a punch combo that her father had taught her when he had learned of her goal to become a guardian. Guardians used shields more as giant metal boxing gloves than like actual weapons, and Urza's father had taught her how to maximize the effectiveness of such tools. The idea was to never let down, to always be on the defensive with one hand, and the offensive with the other. Urza practiced this stance now. She kept one arm up near her face and chest as she would when defending with a shield, and the other out front as she would when she got ready to attack someone with a sword or other weapons. Quickly Urza delivered a two punch combo to the tree, making she the aggressive hand and defensive hand switched with each swing. Each hit splintered the tree, and each punch she felt like she had maintained a good balance between offense and defense.
Urza didn't let up her assault on the tree delivering punch after punch as the bark followed by the flesh was battered away. With each punch Urza attempted to maintain her stance making sure that she never left her face open to attack. A skilled opponent would look for the moment when her guard was down and try and end the assault with one blow to the head. That's what Urza would do, so why should she assume other people would go about it in an entirely different fashion. Though Urza was no combat or tactics expert, so she really didn't know what she was talking about expect from experience. She remembered that when she spared against her father. No mater what she did he would always seem to break her defense and down her with only one attack, even if Urza put up an offensive for a good 5 minutes without backing down, he would always defend and find the perfect time to break her guard and end it.
Urza took a step back from the tree looking at the carnage she had wrecked on it. If she were to do this sort of training on any more trees she would have to put padding on them to protect them. Urza looked at her stance, and thought about her technique. For her boxing against this tree was just as serious as a real fight. If she wasn't practicing correct form she wouldn't be able to follow through in a real fight when all the elements changed. Urza wondered if there were any moving target she could use to practice her stance against. She doubted it but she didn't know what kind of training devices lay in the ever mysterious dojo.❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 29/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpSmiling to himself at his very training style, makoto could feel a surge of energy just pouring into his body... but the same surge of energy was met with the same surge of tiredness. This was bad but he had his wisdom training to catch up on after he had done with this run he was going to do, besides... he had a few aces up his sleeves that he could still play as a child still. regardless of all of this however, makoto was going to be fool hardy and push himself even more to pass his trial by fire... he had a trial by water to complete after this next run that he had to do. Stretching out with his body, He turned sharply as he pushed himself into a powerful dash to the other tree... the damaged tree by this point felt like a friend that was always waiting for him to return by this point, he was not going to disappoint the tree by being late to the party. Dashing harder and harder with his breathing now running out of control, Makoto finally decided that it was finally time to reach the tree and stop in his tracks. Stopping to soon nearly launched him into the tree, but with both hands on the tree, he finally stopped himself from slamming into a tree. Wisdom Training - Inactive

Looking around the area for a good long moment, he was slowly examining his surroundings to get the best details he could possibly get while he was hard of breathing. He had noticed that his breathing was becoming more controlled then it had before, but it was a faint sign that he had picked up as well. He needed to be more aware of his surroundings and that was what he was doing, learning how to focus on his surroundings. Focusing on his surroundings silently, Makoto could not help but feel a since of calm as he felt that the surroundings were peaceful. Closing his eyes for a moment, he started to focus on his surroundings. listening he could hear the birds chirping, the wind flying threw the leafs, the sounds of others training. it was a very good feeling to know that he was not the only one here training, even if the sound of the others were faint.

Urza took a moment to catch her breath before against getting in her stance to attack the tree. She lined herself up with her shadow and decided she would practice shadow boxing at full force. Urza jumped on her toes keeping herself light as she go ready to swing. Urza rushed towards the tree planting a punch at what would be about gut level on a person her size. The tree splintered under the contact of her fist and Urza hoped back a bit. Deciding to be being put on the defensive. The speed she was at now Urza would only get in about one hit before the opponent got in an attack. If she could work on speeding up her punches she would stay in for a volly, but treating this as a real fight, that wasn't an option for a girl of her skill level.
Urza pretended to duck under an attack while blocking another before she got in to deliver another punch. Urza raised her guard and delivered a swift strike to the tree, ripping away at the bark and exposing more flesh. Urza was making quick work of the tree, and was gaining valuable knowledge about her own fighting style and battle tactics. She noticed that she didn't kick very often, which would be a major disadvantage if she was ever in a situation where her arms were indisposed. She would finish this training with her arms crossed behind her back using nothing but kicks. The only way to manage a flaw was to adapt and over come. So that was what Urza would do.
Urza crossed her arms behind her back as she hopped up and down on her toes. One thing she noticed is that this form of fighting was only good if her hand were free, as she would not be able to get much power out of her kick without planting one foot on the ground first. Doing that however would cause a major opening in Urza's defenses and leave her open for attack. Urza tried to find a new balance in her legs, but as she went to kick the tree there was no power behind it, and she just stumbled over herself. Picking herself up she looked at her feet, thinking of a way that she could adapt it so both her legs and arms were useful in a fight.
Urza took a moment, but soon figured it out. She stabilized her stance and sent a kick flying into the tree. As it made contact the bark shattered and bit of flesh splintered out. Urza uncrossed her arms and put her hand against the tree. Well at I know now that if it ever comes down to it, I can get power behind my kick. Urza though to herself with a laugh. If Urza could score one more point in shadow boxing against the tree she could move on to her next task, whatever that may be. She was proud of having figured out this much about fighting just from a tree. "I wonder if the library has any books on battle tactics and war." Urza asked herself, getting ready for another bout against her shadow.❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 28/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

Urza got on her toes as she dipped and ducked, throwing a few feigned punches against her shadow. When at last she felt ready she went in for the kill strike. Using as much force as she could Urza plowed her fist into her shadow on the tree. Compared to her first couple punches it was nothing spectacular, but it was still enough to earn her to bout, and a bit of rest that came with it. Urza sat at the base of the tree to catch her breath. Now that she was done she could take the time to pause and explore what kind of equipment they had in the dojo. Urza hopped to find some target and some dummies that she could hang up with rope to provide good targets for some different combat exercises. ❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 28/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpFocusing on the sounds around him for a moment, he started to feel odd... as if he was being watched by someone or something. Gritting his teeth at the feeling for a moment, Makoto had no choose but to act on this feeling accordingly. Jumping back on his feet, makoto turned around with his fists out to only meet a squirrel on a tree. the squirrel was staring at him oddly before retreating back into the little tree he called home. This was silly... he was scared by a small, weak squirrel that could barely harm a fly. This was embarrassing to him but he had to deal with it because of training, he needed to get better in order to not screw that one up again like last time. Sitting on the earth where the trees and the grass was growing from, makoto placed his hands together as he started to focus. Reaching out with his perception and his will power, he felt that better results were on the way for him... even with his now relaxed lungs for his running training. But something still didn't seem to make him think a lot, maybe it was time to find out the meaning behind all of this. Wisdom Training - Active

For now however, he was more worried about the other things he needed to do. Still holding the hand sign in front of him with a calm and collected mind, he was actually forcing himself to stay perfectly still as he held that hand sign up. This was a perfect way to ignore the bodies attempt to make him move, let alone make him become more intone with his surroundings as the kid he was now. Thinking more about it for a moment longer, makoto started to shake abit because his body was urging him to move.He was burning will power to actually stay there and be still... sadly he could not stay in tone with his surroundings and went for the next best thing. He was going to stay still for as long as he possibly could, considering that he was just a kid with a good dream. Wisdom Training - Active

It seemed as if there was more to him then that, like the trees around where worth studying to him. But the trees where more interesting to him to study, they were a hard, natural material that was used for everyday things in live. It was very interesting that a single table could be produced by a massive tree like the one he had just beaten up, but then again the tree must have been able to actually make a few tables like its very own. Thinking on that idea for a second, he came to the conclusion that he was most likely going to try and craft his own weapons from the wood of the tree. Focusing on it for a moment, he really didn't know what he wanted to do with it but to train with it... but maybe it had it's own combat potential. Yes... it had the combat potential there as well, not as deadly or dangerous as anything else but it would be perfect for him to begin with. Wisdom Training - Active

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpThinking more on the wooden sword that was meant to be his bokken, he was going to have to make it from scratch or he could simply buy one from somewhere. But having no money, he could just easily be supplied with the wood needed to make the bokken to his own. Yea.. that was the most logical one to go down first. He needed to make it for himself and for his own goals, else it was just a tool to him... one without meaning or purpose to him at all. This also re-flexed on how small he was in the world, a single boy with a dream to become a swordsman of the oto... that was all he wanted to be when he grew up. His goal was a simple and an honest one, to protect his village... to defend his friends and family from anyone that tried to harm them. Makoto continued to focus on this thought for a moment as he tried to see himself as one, with his playful imagination... he got his wish granted inside his very own mind. Sighing with a smile on his face, he was using will power to prevent himself from laughing about it too. This also helped him greatly with his training, as a matter of fact. But disregarding that moment for the pace of his training, Makoto started to strive for his goal again... to be a better Swordsman. Wisdom Training - Active

Falling back so that his was laying on the nice grassy field, Makoto stretched his hands and feet out as far as he could before closing his eyes. He felt a little smarter and wiser then he had done before, but this was only the beginning for him as he had a lot of running to look forward too. This may hurt him greatly but he was not going to deny himself the pleasure or rest, he was going to run again eventually... but not now. Placing his hands behind his head for a moment, Makoto sighed heavily before he realized that he could not do it. He was ready to run now, so he was ready to get started with it.

As Urza looked around the dojo she made a few notes of what was in there. It was pretty well equipped, and she wouldn't be lacking when it came to training supplies. Urza made a mental note of the training logs. She would have to be careful not to damage them to bad if she decided to do more strength training with them. As Urza looked around she noticed that there wasn't a whole lot that she could use to train mentally. With a sigh Urza left the dojo and wandered out into the grass fields thinking of fun ways to train. As she walked she coincidentally stumbled on a hole falling to the ground, but before she hit the dirt she tucked herself up and rolled, preventing damage to herself. And that gave Urza a brilliant ideal. Urza would perfect her tumble.
Urza tried to imagine the best way of going about this training. She had never done anything like it before, and as such had no idea how to start. Urza decided it was best first to learn how to simulate a fall without sustaining to much injury. Urza tried in this many fashions. Walking and pretending to trip, throwing herself to the ground, and even just leaning her body forwards until gravity took its course. However try as she might she couldn't get her body to react in the same way as it would a true spuratic fall. After her last attempt of failure Urza piked herself off the ground dusting her armor off. With a sigh she decided that throwing herself at the ground was not the best way to go about doing things.
Urza tried to approach things from a different angle. Maybe if she figured out how the roll worked she could than proceed to figure out how to simulate the fall. Urza stretched and bit and though about all the mechanics that went into making a roll happen. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized she had no clue. Whenever it had happened it had occurred purely by instinct. Urza decided it would be best to experiment with a few rolls and see which one seemed the most natural. Urza looked at the ground thinking about what her body did when it rolled. Carefully she squatted down and flipped herself over, rolling across her spine. As she stood up she shook her head, that wasn't right. Even when she tucked her chin it still hurt more than the once she had done.
Urza tried to roll in a different fashion. She tossed herself sideways, rolling as a child might down a hill. It didn't take the girl very long to realize that, while fun, it wasn't the proper technique for sustaining momentum and reducing damage from a fall. Urza wracked her brain trying the remember what it felt like when she had done it. With a flash of brilliance Urza had an idea. If she went through the motions slowly, perhaps her subconscious brain would pick up on something that she did while in the heat of the moment. Like trying to pull a reactionary reflex to the forefront of her brain! It was worth a shot, after all it wasn't like she was going anywhere with what she was doing now.
Urza broke down the roll in her mind. The first thing she could remember doing was curling her body, the roll went diagonally across her back, her arm that she rolled off of was tucked inside the leg, and she kept her chin tucked so that her head wasn't exposed. With all this information Urza developed her stance, diving at the ground and completing a perfect roll. As Urza popped back to her feet she looked at the ground behind her, hardly able to believe that she had done it. "Ha, now falls wont seem so bad, so long as I work on this a bit." Urza laughed to herself thinking about how helpful this would have been to know when she was running laps earlier. It probably would have saved her from quite a bit of unneeded stress and pain.❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 25/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

Now that Urza had gotten down the basics of her roll all that was left for her to do was perfect it. Urza looked at the ground getting a good jogging start, and with one fluid motion flung herself to the ground. She had however had predicted the ground as being closer to her that it was, and ended up just flipping herself onto her back with a hearty thud. Urza sighed sitting up, It seems there is still a lot I have to figure out before I can start putting it into practice. Urza thought to herself as she tried to devise a training regime in her head. Sure figured that maybe she she learned to do it from a stand still she could than apply it in motion. Urza stood up nodding to herself. That seemed like a perfectly good way to go about doing things.
Urza took a stand similar to running, and from her stopped position dove at the ground curling into a ball and rolling diagonally across her spine. Pushing off her back leg she returned to her stand position, almost in the exact same pose as she had held prior to the roll. That was wonderful new for Urza, because it meant that she could chain rolls together, and therefore put less down time between her and her training. And Urza like that. There was something about efficiency that got her all fired up to train like there was no tomorrow. Once Urza had perfected this stand still roll she would be able to kick it up to a jog, and try rolling with movement. It would add another dimension to the task that she would have to overcome.
Urza tossed herself herself the the ground executing a chain of successful rolls before rising to her feet and stopping. She took a moment to get her breathing under control, and to stop the world from spinning. If Urza saw one fatal flaw with this it was that she couldn't spot and would become pretty disoriented if she rolled to much. The brighter side of news was that she no longer got hurt rolling, which meant she was ready to kick it up a notch. Urza set off at a jog, running through a few trees before diving at the ground and rolling under a low hanging branch. Popping up she began to slow down laughing. Huh, who would have thought the girl in armor would eve be so graceful. Urza laughed at her own expense a bit before moving on.
Urza picked her job on up to a run. Whizzing past trees and brushes she decided to try something new. She found the shrub she had been jumping over earlier and decided she would try to dive over it and roll on the other side. Urza lined her course up with the shrub and executed the timing perfectly. Flying through the air like a bird before falling into her roll and than her continued run. Urza stopped herself at a tree to catch her breath and go over what she had just done in her head. She had successfully put a practical use on a technique that she learned purely to stop hurting herself from being such a clutz. Urza amazed even herself from time to time.
Urza kicked her run to a sprint and decided to see if she could put another practical spin on the roll. Urza sprinted at a tree, jumping to the side moments before collision and rolling away to safety. Urza smiled as she slowed herself down to stop. The combat possibilities for this move would serve her well in the future, Urza figured it would be worth the trouble to train it as such, instead of purely a traveling maneuver. Urza figured if she could learn to duck and roll past enemy attacks it would make for invaluable defensive advantages. ❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 24/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

As Urza trained she tried to develop new ways to use her skills in a productive manner that would come in handy later on. So far she had gotten the front roll down pat. Now she just needed to work on her strafing rolls, and maybe jumping backwards, as a backwards roll seemed kind of pointless and awkward. Urza figured the best way to start those was to work on them like she had the forwards roll. To stand in place and try and figure out the dynamics and physical mechanics that went into making it work. Urza stood in her "running" Stance and took a leap sideways, trying to roll across her back as she had done with the forwards roll. However as she made contact with he ground she noticed one fundamental flaw. Her body was not in the correct position to make a sideways roll and end up facing the same way.
As Urza worked away on it she came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be possible for her to roll sideways without some sort of negative impact on her shoulders or head. As she tried to figure it out she worked on all sorts of methods, but the only one that seemed to work was diving off to the side like a forwards roll, and than spinning as she stood up to get back to her fixed direction. The only issue with this was it was still rather disorienting for the girl, and that would correlate to being very ineffective on the battle field. Urza sat down and tried to figure out the secrets to this technique. And being the stubborn girl that she was, it meant that she wasn't going to be moving on until she had it down.
Urza stood up ready to give her new plan a try. Maybe if she a roll while controlling her movement with her hand she would get a different result. Urza put the idea to the test, and to her dismay it didn't work anything like she had hoped it would. It seemed she would just have to work on her forwards roll and learn to be able to stand facing any direction. Satisfied with that Urza sighed standing up. Now that she had done is from a stand still she needed to work on everything in motion. It was a bit of a pain, but Urza didn't like doing a task half assed. Exponentially so when it came to training. Because she was training to protect her friends, and if she wasn't willing to do that with full effort she wasn't going to be worth much to them later.❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Lvl. 4 Hp: 22/52 MHp: 40/40 Cp: 36/36 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦
