"I should however remind you NOT practice destructive magics without supervision. We don't want you burning the school down. There is a target range you can use that is always supervised. You should however be fine working on your shields, levitation, speed ability and the like anywhere you can find an open space. The halls btw are not an open space."
Shiva gave a look to one of the girls who had earlier accidently set a chair on fire in the halls.

Midnight had a question in her mind regarding natural abilities, those that were available pre-awakening. She was about to ask it, but then realized it wouldn't make a bit of difference. It's certainly not natural to humans, so she figured her shadowbending was out of the question. Plus, this class was physical training along with 'magic' so she would just have to endure.
"I wonder how many more running & dodging sessions we're gonna have.." she thought aloud.

"Today? None. After Q&A we'll be going over how to fall correctly. Tommorrow we're going to be testing your physical abilities on the track so we know how far you've progressed latter on.
Dodgeing excerises however will be every class in some form. Either with these blue balls or something else. Latter on you will be trying to dodge each other. Its important we expose you to many different excerises because there are many different spells and they all act a little different.
Some will act erratically in random directions like our little blue friends here. Some will me more predictable and come straight at you. Some have to be carefully aimed by the caster, in which case survival will be a direct contest between their aim and your mobility. Some attacks will come from in front of you, the sides, above, bellow. We want you to be able to move away intuitively.
You will learn to do this even blind folded, because not all attacks can be seen.

*drinks thoughtfully and thinks about what the teacher said about turning evil*
*whispers to herself* would being evil help my condition of avoiding men?

"No more questions? Ok, time for your next lesson. This is one of the most important things you will learn in my class. We're all going to learn how to fall."
"I know, doesn't sound exciting, but its critically important. You're going to be blasted, thrown, pushed off buildings, hit with what feals like a truck. You're going to go flying. "
If you want to survive a nasty throw or fall, there are some things you need to know.
"First rule, tuck your head into your chest. Quickest way to die from a impact is to hit your head. Pull it into your chest"
"Second, don't overestimate your legs ability to withstand a fall. Bones can only withstand so much. If you break them, you can't keep fighting."
"Third, tuck your head in, tuck your head in, tuck your head in!"
"When falling backwards, you need to tuck your head to your chest and let yourself roll smoothly to the ground. Let your arms hit the ground with you, like this" Shiva demonstrates.
Propping back up on an elbow. "By slapping the ground with your arms, you're dispersing the shock of the fall, putting less pressure on a single impact point."
Standing back up. "Falling face first is actually somewhat preferable. Its easier and safer to turn into a roll. The nice thing about rolls is that you can survive greater falls throws as you can keep rolling until the excess inertia is worn away. "
Shiva waved over one of the gentlemen. "This is Cory. This young man made the mistake of mentioning in my earshot that he's a 4th degree black belt in Judo. Thats right lady's, this ones a catch. He's "volunteered" for a demonstration." The blue haired gentlemen removed his coat and nodded at Shiva. In a shocking show of strength, Shiva proceeded to pick him up by the lapel and belt and threw him across the field. The young man very gingerly landed in a roll and was up on his feet again smoothing his clothes out.
Shiva grinned at him. "You alright Cory?" The young man blushed and nodded. Shiva turned back to her class. "Now, see how he's not hurt despite being thrown? That is because he has been trained how to fall. It's one of the unique features of his martial art. There have been cases of men, with no magical ability what so ever mind you, falling off a 14 story building and living. Not a single scratch. As magical girls, you will be able to do even better."
"With that thought in mind, I want you to line up single file. You'll need plenty of room in front of you. Do as I demonstrate."
To see what she's demonstrating:

Shiva walked along the girls as they practiced. "Very good Meg. Keep doing it. When you feel comfortable with it, try doing two in a row smoothly. "
Going down the line she corrected each girls form. "Don't drop to a knee before rolling" "Make sure your hand slaps the ground when you land." "Good, now go over the other shoulder."
"As you progress, you'll need more and more of a running start to get your roll started. "
"Once you're able to run at run at full speed, roll and keep rolling without panicking, you'll be able to survive some pretty harsh falls. Later, we'll go over front and back flips as an alternative way to handle being thrown. Then we'll go over how to turn mid air for safer landings and impacts."

 Day 2You're redirected to the nearby indoor track by the handsome young man whom was thrown across the field the day before.
By the track you see Sailor Shiva, powered down and sitting on a large cooler, a binder in her lap. As you walk in, she checks off your name and greets each of you individually and warmly.
"Come on in girls. You can warm up on the mats with the falling exercises we learned yesterday. Once everyone is here, we'll hit the track."
OOC: We're staying in this thread despite the change of RP location.

Midnight came in the class as she got the insstruction to practice falling. She then suddenly ran up to a mat, "WOOH!!!" as she fell over, tucking in her head & letting herself roll twice.
"...Maybe I had a little too much fun with that.."
She then practiced rolling back, pushing with her arms to get back on her feet.
