(3) The snake crashed into the water and for some reason the bow and arrow disappeared. It was then replaced with a glowing gun and a few glowing bullets. So these were the weapons becoming available to him this stage. He had to say, this wasn't necessarily the best stage to Jack. The snake then burst out once more, clearly not dead, but also clearly injured. His face was cracked, but that gave Jack another idea. As the snake closed in once more, Jack squeezed the trigger as a single bullet traveled into the central point of where the cracks originated. With that, the snake shattered into a million pieces, and the gun disappeared. Jack in his dreams had overcome 2 failings in his life with the weapons provided. He wondered if he had any other weapons to use...Then Jack woke up.

(3) Instead of telling his teacher, he would show her. First, he would focus the image of a shuriken in his hands, he would traverse the power of the dreamscape while awake, and have the image fit in his hands. Then, he would converse ki into that image, making it materialize into reality. It went off without a hitch, no doubt because of his teacher and the dojo he was in. He took the materialized shuriken and threw it at the target hitting a bullseye. Jack slightly smiled at his success, and went on to start summoning up the other weapons.

(5) This next one was slightly tougher, and might take Jack more than one attempt. It was a C rank move after all. First Jack had to imagine the gun in his hands, which was difficult because Jack didn't know the inner workings of a gun. So instead of focusing on the gun first, he just focused on the simple bullets. They were simple enough to bring into existence, a bullets anatomy was not that complicated. Soon enough, Jack had several glowing bullets in the open palm of his hand, but no gun to load it in. Maybe Jack was thinking to hard about the gun, maybe it was as easy as materializing the bullets. He just had to find out.

(6) Instead of thinking as a gun as a complicated mechanism, Jack forced himself to think of it as something as simple as a dagger. It worked, he felt the gun in his hands...then he started doubting if doing this would just make something that looked like a gun, the feeling was disappearing, Jack got rid of the doubt and it returned. Quickly before losing the gun, Jack brought it into existence and loaded the bullets in it, firing at the target, missing the bullseye of course but hitting the target nonetheless.

Kinetic Revolver Learned

Razual smiled and her smile only grew as Jack brought each long ranged weapon into existance and fired it. Jack had completed the stage and all the skills in it in go.

"Well done, Jack! Now then....Do you want to learn General skills or a new style next? Or do you want to continue with your Katana style?" she said.

Razual blushed. She had been trying to keep from being to bossy. However her student did have a valid point. "Twin Sabers. I want to teach you my style," she said. She looked a little nervous as she fingered her saber hilts.

"If you want to learn you better know how to do a back flip and a front flip," she said. As quickly as her confidence seemed to dissipate a little it recovered.

Razual smiled and called her hands. "Stage One. You better keep up with those back flips and front flips. You need to be able to do them with out any preparation at all," she said brightly.

Razual then demonstrated by doing a back flip right on the spot. One moment she was just standing there and the next she was in the air and landed a step behind where she had been. Then she front flipped back to her original position.

"See?" she asked.



Stage 1
The user starts off by doing frontflips and backflips constantly until they can instantly snap in to one without preparation. After they can do that they will have an entire world open to them, the possibilities are endless with a user of this style. Although the skills are focused on being as flashy and unpredictable as possible they are actually useful in the correct situations.

Razual could see that, but she nodded. After a bit of thought to remember how she learned she pointed up at the roof. The dojo was a single story building, if a sprawling one.


"Next is Aerial Recovery. I want you to go onto the roof and fall. Then using a bit of ki, change the direction of your body in the air so you land on your feet like a cat. This is a single story building so you should be alright. Never go much higher than 20 feet though. This skill won't work otherwise. You won't be able to attack after doing it, but you can defend. It's a good skill to have," she said.






Aerial Recovery
Rank: D
Description: With a little bit of ki the user is able to change their body's course in the air and land safetly on their feet if they are falling from a non-fatal distance. One cannot attack directly after they recover, but defense can still be used.
