Waiting a few moments as Neko had told her to, she knew the voice well, and felt sick as she leaned against the wall. Wondering what reaction this would get, she moved around the corner and entered the area thy were in.
"Ishi?"
Ally looked at her, after not seeing anyone for months other than Neko, she kept her distance, afraid of what she may do if Ishira wasn't careful around her right now.

"I'm not training you to fight one on one effectively. You both are very talented combatants. I'm going to teach you how to fight five against a few hundred or so."
He grinned as he moved to the other side of his desk. He dug through a drawer for a minute, and produced something close to a chess board, except the pieces were wooden pentagons, with different symbols on each piece. it was a Shogi board.
"Both of you will become generals in a mercenary corporation, and you need to know how to lead troops effectively, and decimate the enemy with minimal losses. You will need to be able to predict the movements of hundreds of troops. You need to be ten steps ahead, or you'll either die, waste my resources, or leave me open to assassination."
He looked between both of his students.
"Are you both ready?"

"ready, you had me in isolation for weeks, you think I don't want to destroy shit right now?" She asked curiously, moving over to him and resting her chin on his shoulder watching. "Just tell me what I need to do /learn and lets get going. Please and thank you." She wasn't trying to be rude, she just wanted to do something, she had way to much energy built up over the last few weeks.

Ishira smiled at Ally.
"Ill be sure to get out of your way if anything happens." She whispered, though she wasnt sure how she would be able to do that. She could sense there was something different about Ally, something more wild that reminded her a lot of Neko.... She looked at Neko from the corner of her eyes, had he done it? Something inside her told her the answer was yes.
Ishira turned back to Neko and watch him fiddle with the board and wooden pieces, the smell of old wood reminding her of home...
"Hundreds? Without... Causing harm to our people..." Ishira thought on it, she wasnt really a... people person. "And you thought i wanted to leave? This is getting interesting."

As he finished setting up the board, he sat back in his chair after grabbing Ally's shoulder briefly.
"Oh, very interesting. Let's see where we need to start, then. Let's say that you're engaging an enemy. both of you are assigned to the mission, so you can collaborate. One of your scouts has brought word that an enemy leader has received word of your camp's location, and is sending his platoon to ambush you in the night. What do you do?"

"Well I'd most likely leave camp set up the way it was, fire burning and everything to make it look like people were there, but the troops would be set up around the area, spread out and hidden, staying close enough for quick communication. Once the enemy moves and is known, we'd strike, or have one person stay back, which would most likely be myself or Ishi if you said collaborating to be walking around as if on gaurd shift and then when they come in there cut them off." Standing next to neko, she began shifting her weight anxiously. She was bored....simply put.

"Well if we knew where they were, wouldnt it be best to use the night to circle around them?" Ishira was interested in the small hints that both of them were letting off. She almost didnt notice that Neko wasnt affecting her, before she had to turn away again. She use the board as her excuse this time, just in case... Ally may have change but she was sure that Ally was protective as ever, considering she had made sure to show Ishira that there was something going on.

"So you move to intercept them. Not a bad plan. The troops you have total about twenty five. You intercept and ambush the platoon that was coming after you, and the battle is looking good. They had about twenty troops. the fighting went on for about ten minutes, and you're down to twenty men, and they are down to ten, when the reinforcements arrive.
They predicted your move, and split their platoon into a group of twenty, and a group of thirty, the bigger group staying behind to attack you when you were occupied. You are ambushed in the middle of the battle by thirty fresh troops, with ten more able to fight against your twenty fatigued men.. What now?"

"Die is my plan at that point......, nah just joking."
thinking about that the plan wouldn't have made sense.
"but with my plan of waiting, my men would never be revealed competely... they would kind of lead them off, and pick them off on the way, staying hidden with the cover of night. One would use distractions, other would cut them quickly. If reinforcements came it would indeed become a challenge, but would not leave the men fatigued very drastically. With cover of night as well, I could step in at that point and charge in. If the men still are a little off and working together, my main distraction would be incoming troops cocky and expecting to win, seeing one coming at them, and then the battle would begin..."
A bit confused by her own wording, not knowing if she explained it right she sat back down on the ground.
"i'm bored..."

"Id aim for higher ground, since wed probably be pushed back a bit. On even ground we end up using more energy then needed, if we are able to get above them in any way, we dont have to use as much strength in our attacks. " Ishira thought about it, she wouldnt want to end up losing people though because of her selfishness to win though.... She sighed, she wasnt good with people at all... Why would he even consider having people under her. She shook her head, no she needed to concentrate, her whining wasnt part of this lesson. " But as Ally said, i dont believe our men would be that tired, why would they be with us if they couldnt fight more then one person.." Ishira felt extremely outsmarted... She wasnt too sure what to say...

"Good plans, the both of you, but I want you to combine your efforts next time, and give me one idea. And think the enemy out. What would you do if you were in their shoes? Don't come up with a tactic to combat their plan. Come up with a tactic to combat their backup plan. Never expect to win a battle, only expect to keep your enemy from winning."
He sighed and thought for a moment, and chuckled.
"You know, if this is boring to you two, I can always just send you out on a mission with a company so you can learn the hard way..."

Ishira tried not to show any surprise in his suggestion, or even the slightest bit of fear, that would encourage him. He had done far to many things for him to surprise her... But he still did it... Learning the hard way wasnt always the greatest, but it was fun for Ishira. She just didnt want to end up killing Nekos people, that wouldnt look to good. Ishira shrugged, she wasnt much of a talking person either though.
"If i were them id think id already won, so id be reckless, not even try, maybe even wander..." Ishira commented. "As far as being bored, id think youd already know me by now Neko." Though he was kinda proving that wrong with his recent choice.

"I thought you told me that I wasn't ready though Neko.....and to stay with you....."
her voice changing, not as confident sounding as before. She didn't want to hurt anyone period right now, for the thought of losing control worried her. She knew that if it wasn't Neko, one wrong move or annoyance could set her off if she wasn't carefully on gaurd at all times. Now all she could do was hope for the best if he was seriously thinking of going through with this. Playing with the bracelet on her arm, she began to pace again, her eyes seeming to twitch slightly, as if she was cringing in pain from something.
"i'll be right back."
Flickering away immediatly, during her last word she appeared outside, sitting on a rock and holding her head. What if she hurt Ishira? What would she do...?

Neko sighed softly and looked to Ishira as Ally left.
"I'm not going to take that risk. It was a reality check for my less-than-patient student...I should make sure she's not lighting up a beacon outside. excuse me."
He stood up and made his way downstairs, out of the office, and over towards Ally.

Ishira nodded and watched him leave. For the first time since she trained here, she felt alone... Which was odd, she always felt like she had been watched even if Neko hadnt been there, he had eyes all over the place. She scanned around the room for any of the weird lizards she had befriended, but they were gone.. Ishira sighed, turning to the railing. Her wings tucked tightly to her back as she looked over the railing and down the waterfall. The breeze tickled her cheeks as she propped her chin onto her hand. As she looked down she flicked one wrist, which caused the wings on her back to explode into many white orbs. They surrounded her, whispering sweet words to her.
"Almost forgot that im never alone when i have you..." She whispered happily as one orb flew close to her face.
