Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aaron was still running as he was told. But his legs hurt like hell, it felt like they were toothpicks, about to snap in half. And somewhere in his knees felt like they were locking, but Aaron kept up the pace as he was told. If this training meant the difference between his life or his death. He'd rather choose hard-training and staying alive.
Raven simply smiled at rain and jesse, " Glad to see you're enthusiastic about training. Unlike some people I knew... " He laughed, then turned to them again, " Keep up that enthusiasm. We have to master our magic first, it's very important. Especially to us elementalist. If we have a unique power, why not make it stronger?" He cast a spell on both of the two. It was a healing type of art. It seemed to give them more energy and especially defense, " No worries. This spell just makes it so none of us get hurt. "

Raven smiled, and cast a small barrier around him, restistant to magic, the fire ball was set back at jesse. Along with a tint of lightning. Jesse was brought to the ground on his back, and Raven walked up to them. " It seems.... " he smirked a little, " we need to work on our defense. "

Raven smirked at Jesse when he saw rain made a barrier of water, " You see? Your friend can make a barrier, it's that easy. " He then turned to rain. " Ok. Lets see if you can keep that barrier and fight me at the same time. " He called lightning onto rain yet again, fearing if he used his earth or ice-blade magic, he would hurt them. The lightning came down pretty quickly, and Raven created a barrier himself. " Let's try all that at once. And try penetrating my barrier. " Raven expected him to break through his barrier even though he was much stronger than them. Sure, he was being tough, but what would happen when there really was a fight, the enemy sure wouldnt go easy.

Raven sighed, " You're not putting forth enough energy. Focus a little more on your offense, try to concentrate as much elemental power into your attack as much as you can. " He purposely didnt fix the crack in his barrier, he wanted to see if they could break it, " Now I'm going easy on you. If this were a real fight, they'd be throwing million blasts of magic at you relentlessly, until you drop your barrier. Then, you're dead. What we're doing now is trying to learn to prevent that. " He focused on his barrier yet again, throwing a few ice blades and lightning towards them, and said, " Okay, now, dodge and attack me. "

Rained sighed and concentrated harder. harder. He summoned another water blade with more power behind it this time. And Jesse joined in on this attack. He created a huge fire ball in the palm of his hand at the same time thet threw it at Raven's barrier.

They both smiled as they sent Raven hitting the ground. Rain created a barried around him a Jesse but this time Jesse focused on making a barrier himself. Flames surrounded the water but not touching it as it would put the fire out. It wasn't to strong but at least it was a barrier.

Raven simply smiled back, there, improvement number one: knowing they had the strength. If they know they have the strength to fight they'll try harder. The attack had just BARELY gone through their barrier. " Think of me as an enemy. " He said, as he casted another spell in their direction. And remaking his barrier.
Aaron sighed, " R-right.....sorry. " He stopped for a moment, taking a few more breaths, staring at nero wondering how to attack. Then he charged again, calling a decent amount of lightning into his blade, not enough to huret the villagers. But enough to feel. Jumped over nero, and hit him in the back with the training-blade. Lightning then surrounded nero. And Aaron landed behind him.
