✿In this world, there is only one road that is leading forwards.✿
✿Stepping onto the academy grounds, Fia walked into the public area with confidence rather than her previous shyness. It felt good to be on easy terms with her twin again, a person she had missed for a long time despite their being around each other Now just to make up with Aki....and maybe we can be family again. she slowed to look around, curious to see who else was here.✿
✿
But on this road, demons follow in steps taken...
They'll drag the feet of those who listen to them.
They touch the deepest fears...

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
"I suppose I could let you actually practice shouldn't I?" Knives chuckled before launching himself from his position towards Kaori. In order to protect himself he had covered himself in his sand armor, but Kaori didn't know what far as he knew, he wanted to see her reaction.

-----Tracking her sister had been easy, despite the younger female being the type to run instead of walk everywhere. Oh, wait, no, that was Syriahl herself. Taking her sweet time was just a fluke this time, and one that likely gave her sister a reprieve from her high energetic life style. When Syriahl arrived at the Academy her first reaction wasn't to follow her sister, no, but instead was to go gather some scrolls for their use. The restriction to at most C - ranked techniques made training difficult, but until their leader decided to quit being a cut-out of cardboard and show up to help them it was all they were going to get. Sighing as she made her way back towards her sister, a flowery bag filled with scrolls on her hip, the female strutted with every step and paid as little attention as she could to the effects she elicited in others. When men and women turned their heads she simply didn't care, because her eyes were all for her sister and the plans the two would fulfill when they began their training. The instant she was close enough the younger sister touched Fia's shoulder, and smiled.
-----Holding up the scrolls, Syriahl's expression changed. Her face would thicken, the cheeks fill out and, most telling of all, his chest would suck in just a bit, hiding the bulges of his breasts. He had now assumed the roll of a man once more, and his voice was quite deep when he spoke. "I believe we are to begin our training now, sister. What did you come here to learn?" For herself, she knew to learn a few water techniques that would help here, but most of her effort would be to learn outright destructive jutsu, as she would be the tank. Or maybe it would be techniques that serve as support roles? Or combinations? There were many to choose from as far as the scrolls she took were concerned, so surely there was something to be found of use!

• Aphrodite Incarnate → Somehow, perhaps through some defect of birth, Syriahl possesses an overwhelming level of pheromones, of most varieties. Unfortunately, this is not under his control, not naturally. With her pheromones at nearly one thousand times the normal level of someone of her body type, he finds himself far too often on the receiving end of someone's love, lust, or hatred. For roleplay purposes, those who interact with Syriahl will either outright desire him, hate her, or find an intense desire to ignore them. More often than not, a sexual attraction is felt beyond the control of the victim, no matter the gender, yet with intense willpower the effects can be minimized. The only defense against this is a tonic designed by a medic to help counter the effects. • +0 Chakra/ +0 Stamina [Training] • Seamless Combat → All jutsu performed through dances are increased by one [1] rank without increase in chakra requirements • •

Kaori was half expecting him to attack her now, since he had done so before with previous techniques, but she was still a little startled at the sheer speed he could use since he was a larger man, and all muscle. But she quickly went into the spin step to dodge the majority of the attack, but instead of dodging and trying to duck away, she launched a counter attack of her own, she delivered a straight kick, aiming for his side, since she was too short to ever hope to hit him in the head without first jumping up. She gasped when her leg hit his side, it felt like she'd kicked solid stone! He must have armor on of some kind she thought, but other than her little gasp of surprise, she didn't show any reaction to the new information. Give nothing away, if you do in a real battle, you could get killed. And she intended to do the killing on the field.

After a very long break, Doc decided to learn some more defense. He dug deep in to his memory banks where he held all the techniques he's read. He found a simple doton technique that he could do. He rubbed his hands together and looked around. Doc then proceeded to focus chakra to his hands. When he tried to lift the ground up like he remembered, nothing happened. ((Doroku Gaeshi [ Rock Shield ] 1/2))
He then tried it again. He did the exact same steps as before but with a little more chakra. He focused in on his hands and bent down towards the ground. He then grabbed the ground with his hands and lifted the earth up like a shield. It finally worked this time. ((Doroku Gaeshi [ Rock Shield ] 2/2 Learnt))
"Well that will be helpful someday." Doc said to himself. He was finally getting tired of training and wanted to go do something. He headed out to the Kage's office to go check up on things.

Knives looked down to see a part of his sand break from his skin. "Well seems you understand the power behind the attack. Now let's work on getting it down solidly." He said landing on a foot and adjusting himself to launch for another attack. Practice made perfect and he had been standing around a bit too much for his taste.

Kaori grinned as he continued to attack. This was surprisingly fun, it was rare she felt she could just cut loose like this, plus she was never happier than when she was learning something new. The fact that Knives was training her himself was an unexpected, but wonderful, bonus. She did the spin step each time she needed to, then countered with powerful kicks to chip away at his sand armor little by little, though she wasn't really trying to hurt him, it was great knowing that she couldn't even on accident.

"Very good, very good. Now the finally thing I can teach you for now since you are Chunin is the Hawk Dive. You know how I'm good with blades and projectiles, this technique allows you to basically bounce the projectile to otherwise other places it might not reach. Or even better to bounce the weapon back at your opponent. Watch, you see that log up there on the roof? Normally a straight throw would not reach it straight on. However, if we do this." He said with a quick throw from a star against a far wall that bounced from the wall to a point on the roof and into the log. "Attack from below, similarly if say he," he pointed to a student to throw at him "attacked me I can easily deflect it back." Before Knives had finished his sentence the student had thrown a kunai at him which Knives countered with his own kunai to bounce it back at the student.
He chuckled to himself knowing if he didn't pull his plan off with Nova he was going to forget but he didn't need Kaori watching him when he sent the plan into motion. 'Soon, soon.' he thought to himself.

Kaori watched Knives' demonstration intently, then smiled and nodded, "Alright..." She took out a few kuni and tilted her head as she studied the distance to the log. He was right, a straight throw would be pointless, but it was doable with the Hawk Dive technique.
She threw the first kuni, then when it had reached it's peak, she threw the second, but she frowned when, instead of hitting it and making it go up to hit the log, it hit the first kuni and made it fall to the ground. She pouted slightly and shook her head before she sighed, "Okay, time to try again."

Knives watch Kaori. "You do realize that you only NEED to use one to get to the log right? Just thought I'd try and make it easier for you." Knives said as he tapped the ground in what appeared to be absentmindedly. In reality he knew what he was doing and as he was doing it, it seemed a sand storm was picking up, it was nothing new for this was the village of the Sand but it was enough to obscure vision from what he was doing as he spat out three crimson spiders who began to take a long route to get to Nova. By his estimates they should get there shortly after the sand died down.
"But if you want to use multiple stars to get to the log be my best." He smiled at Kaori, but mostly smiled as he waited watching from the corner of his eye as the crimson spiders snuck from a roof and jumped at Nova and begin to pester the pet.

Kaori blinked, then blushed and ducked her head, "Oops, sorry. Right." She said as she looked back at where she was aiming, the sand storm meant nothing to her, she was born and raised here in Suna after all, though she was glad when it died down. She was about to attempt the Hawk Dive once more when she heard Nova yowl. She turned and watched as crimson spiders, which if she remembered right belonged to Knives, tormented Nova. They were jumping on her and poking at her with their multiple legs. One even grabbed her tail and pulled. Kaori knew she should be stepping in or something, but in that moment all she could do was cover her mouth in an attempt to hide her laughter. "Oh my God..." She had to hold her sides as she burst into full blown, tear-inducing, laughter, "K-Knives... d-did you...?" She couldn't even finish her sentence she was laughing so hard.

Knives feigned innocence as best he could. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I would never do such a thing ever." He was clearly lying through his teeth on this one but he did a good job of it for the most part. He took out three knives and punted each one into a spider to make it go away with a hit of his blades.

Kaori smiled at Knives, "Sure you didn't." She said with a giggle. She walked over to him and, after hesitating for a moment, hugged him, then released him, "Thank you." She said, "You did that because she'd been laughing at me right?" She asked as she watched Nova shake her fur out and huff over at Knives before she lifted her nose and her tail at the same time. Clearly trying to act like she hadn't just freaked out.
Kaori giggled again and shook her head and pulled a couple more kuni from her hip pouch and threw the first, then she threw the second to intercept it, making it alter direction. She looked at Knives and tilted her head, "How's that? Better?"

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." Knives responded to the first question. he watched her do two knives to hit the log. "But how about a single blade, or..." he started before tossing a blade at Kaori, almost directly at her to see if she could block it. The blade wouldn't actually hit her if she missed, he had aimed just slightly off, but to most it would look like it was coming straight at Kaori.

Kaori barely batted an eye, she was getting used to his method of training, because she barely batted an eye. Instead all she did was retrieve another kuni and throw it to intercept it. It hit the projectile Knives threw at her and made it ricochet back to him. She smiled slightly at Knives, "Do I pass?" She asked, playfully.
