Leon knew he made a grave tactical error and soon payed for it with a arrow lodged snugly in his near end. "OW, HOLY FREAKNG-" began the muffled curses trapped inside the boxers suddenly shut mouth as he used the only free hand to keep it quiet and covered.
"Ya might as well get the next cheek too Bix, even it out." he yelled out sarcastically, turning the other cheek at the bowman and went to get the heck out of the crosshairs for any other projectiles.
Long range weapons clearly had it out for him.
Ha ha, Leon's been tenderized Nid was ever so witty, but only when he wanted to be.

Jordan huffed a quiet sigh and attempted not to glare too hard at their current instructor. Presumably Ben had once been a clueless trainee himself, but that didn't mean they were going to get any mercy from him. The advantage of numbers probably wasn't any kind of real help; they seemed to have as good a chance of hitting one another as they did of hitting Ben.
C'mon, Ferros grumbled. He hit your girl, are you going to do anything about it?
Wha - Maddie isn't my girl. Still, Jordan moved forward cautiously, looking for an opening he could step into for a good shot at Ben.

He'd forgotten to account for the fact that the grass was wet; as he began to step forward, his foot slid on the grass, and he had to scramble ungracefully to stay on his feet. This, unfortunately, meant that Ferros swung wide, clipping Jinhai's barrel, considerably harder than was polite.
"Damn! Sorry," Jordan grumbled, stepping back and away hastily.
He's not tasty, Ferros complained.

Jude had taken a moment to observe before he began to launch inward despite the fact that people seemed to not just be attacking the Hunter he didn't really recognize and also each other. He decided that the point was to - in fact - hit the other Hunter.
Somehow it didn't escape Jude that Caelius wasn't there, whatever, the less that man can lord his superiority over him the better.
The young Hunter moved toward Ben after summoning his hourglass weapon and swung it out toward him three-pronged side first toward the right shoulder.

Gale was not really paying attention - at least not until he heard Jinhai shout << What the Jack - ?! >>
Something heavy and enormous collided with the end of the sniper rifle, sending Gale reeling several steps backwards. His eyes widened in surprise, slightly bemused - until he realized that it was Jordan, staggering a few feet away.
<< That damn basta - >>
"Er, it's fine," said Gale, waving a hand. "No worries."

This is Before. :I
This is Before late. OAO
This is Before late, confused, and not quite sure what to make of seeing everyone attacking each other. DDDDDDDDDDD8
Wh-where's Caelius? Before was expecting the Death Hunter to be all snarls and curses and just slaughtering everyone. Which sort of begs the question of what Before was doing here in the first place. Well, the Life Hunter Trainee figured he ought to make something of himself. Or die trying.
And from the looks of things, it was going to be the latter. He summoned Vanna when he eventually realized everyone was trying to attack that guy in red. Oh. Was he the trainer? Hm. Would he mind if a latecomer dipped his hand in? O_oa
Oh for Jack's sake, JUST GO!
Vanna's bark sent Before spinning, mostly to gather momentum and when he let go, he yelled out "I'M SORRY IF I HIT ANYONE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO!!!!"

There it was again. Strays. Why were they strays? Like...dogs off the streets? Candace's eyes narrowed until he mentioned they were all going to attack him at once. Ohhhh! She grinned. "Sounds fun! I'm all for it. Atropos?"
The fact that you feel the need to ask wounds me, Candace. Candace laughed and shook her head. Oh yeah. She was good. Her rings glowed until they dissipated and Atropos' boots materialized on her feet, the glow of her cracks and gemmed eyes dimmer than they usually were. This was the first time Candace had noticed that. This was new. Did this happen during that last battle...?
No time! She'd figure it out later! For now she had to get a hit in. Please. She was still excited for this until she saw Leon hit Ennea. "Waaaaay to go." Candace sighed. Great first impression, man. Way to show how awesome they were. Good job, buddy. And then Bix hit Leon. Candace actually slapped the palm of her hand to her face. Ugh. They were off to a great start.
Not everyone strives for perfection like you, Candace. And not everyone can pull it off as well as you. You are the best, aren't you? Prove it~. Ah, Atropos. You always know just what to say. But they could try a little harder not to ******** everything up. Candace groaned when she heard Before's usual apology.
"Oh my god, Before. Stop apologizing for everything." Candace growled before charging at Ben. She slid a bit on the wet field but somehow managed to get herself into a position where she actually hit Benjamin and not someone else. Good, good.

Bix became concerned as more of the trainees hit eachother. Some were simple accidents and other was just poor aim or a moving target. Either way he was pretty sure they were hitting each other more than they were hitting Ben.
He jogged around the outside of the mass, holding his bow at the ready. Each time he would raise it someone else's head would bob in the way.
"Spread out a little guys?" If he was attempting to organize them, he didn't sound very sure. "Ranged people should hang back and melee people get into a rhythm. Try not to hit one another." They already had a shitty nickname. Did they want to be further humiliated by hitting themselves over and over?

Kintama huffed grumpily as Ariane summoned him, her grip on the chains tightening as chaos erupted around her; too many of them were rushing out at once, and she could see hunters accidentally hurting each other rather than their target. Even as Kintama went on about how hungry he was and how long it had been since he last tasted anything, she waited, trying to find the perfect window of opportunity-
"There!" She took a side step before rushing at Ben, her weapon by the side; the bad thing about using a weapon like hers was the fact that if anyone stood too close, there was that chance of being hurt.
Thankfully, her aim was pretty much on target. This time anyway.
"DAMN, guys, be careful!"

Before heard someone yell at him for apologizing. Well... well... Before felt like he had reason to apologize! As Vanna ricocheted back into his arms with a loud oof from him, he coughed out "S-sorry about that, too!" And promptly followed Bix's instructions about giving the other trainees room to maneuver.

Sensible enough advice. Jordan nodded to Bix, though he was still stinging with the embarrassment of his own mistake. Take it as a lesson. He started circling to one side; if they could surround their instructor effectively, they'd have a better chance of hitting him.
Strays, huh. He smiled grimly to himself. Raggedy, lost, feral, and dangerous. He could live with that. ... Even if it seemed that at the moment they were a danger to themselves as well. Argh.

"AAAAH AH! I'M HERE I'M HERE! I'M NOT LATE or am I? Oh, blast..." Jerry was running towards the group, cannon balanced precariously on his shoulder as he leaped and hobbled and limped his way over. His uniform looked crisp and fresh, but his skin less so. The bandages had been changed, but underneath his burns were getting.... sticky, to say the least. He would need to air them out soon enough, but the dark, scabbed edges peeked out from under the white along the edge of his cheek and neck. At the sight of his friends all sparring, he was quick to take aim- "What... what are we doing?" Roar didn't bother to ask any questions, happily bursting forth with a swirling howl of sound directly at the target he had been aimed at, albeit accidentally.  HP: 40/40

Oh well. This was not what he’d been hoping for. He really had thought the ‘come at me bro’ challenge was a joke, but apparently if it wasn’t Caelius, it was somebody else. Awesome. They were s=going to spar… and probably end up getting their asses kicked. Madison, the poor girl, got the first hit, and Marcus visibly winced at that one. And of course, it only took a while before they ended up hitting each other. “Nice one Leon. Remind me to keep you away from Cass.”
You just want to be the one to smack that a**
We are not going there
Admit it, you wanna bang-
NOTGOINGTHERE
Dis flashed blue briefly, and Marcus scowled. Bitchy vampire. Gale’s remark to Bix earned him a grin. HA. Then. Owch. They were eating more at each other than Ben. Jude… Well Jude was pretty much being a badass. Damn. After a while they seemed to pick up the pace. Even after Burn Boy Jerry showed up. Striking out he smirked as his hit landed. One question, he'd have to make it count.

Morning training. Wailing on a guy in the middle. Harrison wasn't entirely sure what the point of this exercise was, or how it applied to his division. ...Maybe he should be protecting that guy? Except he saw the other clearly-marked Moon Hunters, and they were stabbing, shooting, and bludgeoning him too.
Harrison got in one jab, and backed off.
"Morning," he grumbled to Candace.

Ben chuckled to himself, parrying Madison's attack as he watched Bix and Leon make fools of themselves. In that moment of distraction, he almost missed Jude swinging at him with full force, his weapon clicking in annoyance at the impact. Another hit from Jerry literally sent the instructor reeling back, and the successful hits afterwards were a lot more than just glancing blows.
"Okay stop, stop, time out." Just in case, he hopped back a few more steps, putting his hangs together in an exaggerated 'T'. "Everyone take a small breather."
The substitue instructor put his hands on his knees and took in a few deep breaths of air, light sweat beading his forehead. Despite how easy the higher ups made it look, taking a blow from a weapon could really sting. Add having to anticipate multiple weapon blows and it was pretty much a glorified Shadow Run exercise.
"That...that was actually pretty damn good. I'm impressed, you strays got a few solid blows in." Ben meant every word, still attempting to get some feeling back into his weapon hand.
'Or someone is just out of shape.'
'Shut up Baki', came the cheerful mental retort as be finally composed himself, giving the trainees a more professional sort of attitude. "Your weapons are powerful. What is holding them back is inexperience and lack of general training, if it wasn't obvious enough already."
He desummoned his weapon, letting the trinket roll into his closed palms, much to Baki's protest -'Hey! I'm still not re-"
-"While I cannot emphasize futher individual practice, try group practices as well. You are a large group, take advantage of it while you can. Practice two versus two or even larger teams." He let the trainees digest this. " Lastly, and Sir Boss wanted me to bring this up. Teamwork. Look before you attack. If you are a ranged attacker, take a second to signal your teammates to move out so you can get a clear shot. If you have a close range weapon, look before you run in weapons blazing. Take a second to strategize with your teammates, I see some Moon Hunters here, they could easily play defense to ranged attackers as they get their hits in."
Ben paused as he saw a couple of yawns and glazed eyes. He almost felt bad for them. "Now, I think that's enough if that, the rest of the hour will be an open training session, I will pair you up to practice, but before we get started, I believe I owe you questions?"
He held up a hand, and then a second, counting. "Ten questions, huh. That's quite a fair bit of hits." He looked stumped and a little crestfallen at himself. "Anyway first come first serve, though I promise you there are things I honestly do not know."OOC -this is now an open QandA for trainees, though keep in mind there are only ten questions they can ask about pretty much anything, first come first serve
