Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raine heard the others talking, and missed the dummy with his throw. He fell forward with the surprise of not hitting something. The boy looked up from behind the dummy at the others, his blades in his hands. "What's wrong?" Lavi looked so disturbed, and Tsuyosa looked harsh.

They both stopped and looked down to him, so innocently starring up. Lavi seemed angry now turning to Tsuyosa. "I won't let you teach him these things. It's wrong and you know it! He's only a kid, you can't teach him how to cut arteries!" Lavi took a defensive stance towards the man. He had known exactly what the red dots represented, major blood vessels, the boy was targeting to kill his opponent. Tsuyosa gave him a gruff aggravated silence.

"He has the choice to choose to use these, but he has to know them, to be able to choose." Raine still stared up unknowingly. Lavi silenced himself still aggravated. It was wrong to teach someone so young what he needed to do. But in some way it was true he could choose. The black haired boy looked away to the stone. While Tsuyosa shot his glance back at Raine. "Well get going!"

Don't test me. Raine worked to quicken his pace, throwing kick first at the dummies knees. And going low to stab deeply into he red spot. He slashed down at the thighs, doubling back with his left hand in quick succession. These moves weren't meant for power but more to put small cuts into as many dots as he could h9it as fast as he possibly could. Raine didn't like it when his blades stuck into the wood and made it harder to use his routines. Lavi liked this at least, small slashes weren't wound and not kill at least. He knew Raine would learn his leason the first time he tried out these techniques on someone.

"Nice, make it faster, you are loosing your stance when you get low as well." Tsuyosa guided standing back a few feet. Raine caught his words in the back of his mind, barely audible over his constant gasping breaths. The hot sun beat down on him, and his constant moving and black clothing was almost too much. He jumped up high and spun in the air to land his Aian Nakkurru in the dummies shoulders, they stuck fast and Raine caught in the moment tried to move, not realizing they were stuck fast. Wrapped around his fingers, Raine was stopped mid motion and fell back with surprise. Looking up at the blades at least two inches stuck into the wood. The dummy was high above his head and he had to stand on his toes to keep his fingers in hold. The small boy wiggled and tried to pull the blades free. Lavi stopped to at least smiled at this, while Tsuyosa laughed hardily out loud stepped forward to gently pick his tiny hands from the wood. Raine smiled a bit embarrassed. Taking the break to his advantage Raine whipped off his shirt quickly and felt his skin free. He sighed a bit. Lavi was hot too, and stood to leave. Tsuyosa watched him go figuring he was being too pouty to watch.

Lavi came back with two glasses of water, setting them both down beside him. It seemed that he had already had one himself, and had brought one even for Tsuyosa. The master noticed this out of the corner of his eye and didn't pay it any mind, still watching Raine. Work his way around the red dots, creating knew attacks for each dot he hadn't hit. the dummy had small cuts and stab marks all over it. He knew that they had originally been made for shuriken and kunai practice, but a Tekkenseisai was much better with his fists. Raine stabbed back at the ankles, and hit a grown area before he noticed exactly what he was dong. As he became enlightened, Lavi smiled almost breaking out into laughter once more. Raine made powerful stabs into the vital areas to regain his masculinity.

Raine flung hard punches at the dummies face and neck, the red dots were barely visible with the amount of crushed wood. He felt a bit bad for destroying the dummy, but it's what the thing was for anyway, it was it's purpose. He slashed out at it's left arm, stepped to the side, and coming back with a hammer fist into the red dots around the spine of the dummy, The Blade stuck in for a second but Raine managed to get it out this time, as he used is force, from running to the other side, delivering slashed in the arm dots again and ending with a left kick to the dummies stomach.

Lavi stood and handed a glass of water to Raine, Who took it graciously as they all walked inside. Tsuyosa grabbing his water as well. He raised the glass to Lavi in thanks and the Tekkenseisai drank for a few long seconds. Tsuyosa walked into the much cooler room, as Raine took off his Aiain Nakkurru and revealed red lines running along his fingers. He set them on the stairs while Tsuyosa went on. "Okay I'm not really that fond of this justsu, but it's a Tekkenseisai technique, so I must teach you. It's called Soul of the Boxer." Raine instantly liked the idea of this and stepped forward ready to learn. Tsuyosa laughed a bit at his reaction, "I know, it sounds great but the truth is that you simply hit yourself and jog in place until you wake up your nerve endings and can more easily sense attacks." Raine didn't like the sound of hitting himself but a justu was a jutsu. "It's harder than you think, I guess, you'll know when you get it."

Raine sighed, he was just going to have to deal with this. Lightly he hit himself in the face, a bit weary and ashamed of this jutsu. He didn't feel like he would be using it too much but it was a Tekkenseisai technique. Standing and slapping himself didn't take much energy or concentration, so he looked up to lavi. "You wanna keep going?" Tsuyosa nodded in agreement leaning on a weapon rack. Lavi sat on the stairs, and shrugged. "Okay, so when I'm speaking you should make some think of these questions and comparisons to consider. Differences and likenesses of various trading systems. Intellectual and cultural developments in different societies, and the ways in which societies influence each other, for example, the Middle Eastern influence on medieval European culture of India's influence on Southeast Asian religion, art, and architecture. How important is the nation-state, As opposed to larger cultural units, as an object of study during this historical period? Comparisons and contrasts between European and Japanese Feudalism."

Raine ran in place a little bit, slapping himself. Still nothing, he shook his head to Tsuyosa, who told him to hyperventilate as well. "Some times that works also." it was simple training that he didn't really concern himself with. The next jutsu would be much more complex and effective. The rock spike thrust was one of his favorite technique. "Okay, on to Europe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. the medieval period of European history, also known as the Middle Ages, is considered to phase lasted from approximately 500 to 1500. Often, the medieval era is broken down into three phases: the early from 500-1000, high from 1000-1300, and the late middle ages 1300-1500. Not all historians use these labels. Also, the question of periodization is complicated by the fact that during the Late middle Ages, certain parts of Europe-particularly Italy- began to experience the famous cultural birth known as the Renaissance."
