Akane Saito Akane entered the office. She was smiling, as usual, but there were some traces of fear and confusion in her eyes. "This place is creepy." She thought and shuddered. It was still hard for her to adapt to this nation, since all she saw before was the dark city of Lumira. All those roots looked like alive and dangerous enemies to her. But the eagerness to train was stronger than any fear, so she just sat down on one of the chairs in front of the desk and waited. She was not sure for what, though.

Feather 
(Filling in for Chilling2)
As soon as she spotted a new trainee, Feather hopped up from her chair to go greet the girl. It had been quite some time since someone was directed to her way due to the decrease in enlistment to the city's militia, but this was great! "Hey, my name is Feather. I assume you are here to train? What's your name?"

Akane Saito She was staring at her feet when Feather introduced herself. Akane rose her head quickly and made a sound that was suppose to be a laugh. "I'm Akane Saito, nice to meet you!" She said while standing up. "Of course I'm here to train!" Akane made that ridiculous sound again. "And is there any chance that you could help me?" She looked at Feather with childish eagerness in her eyes.

Of course she could help, that was what she was here for. Though, ultimately the result of her training would be on Akane. "First, tell me your class, element and bloodline. After we get the basics down, we can move onto teaching the weapon and hand to hand styles."

Akane Saito Akane smiled. "Of course! I'm an assassin and my element is fire. And.." She looked at her feet and blushed slightly. "Well, I'm just a simple human, I don't have a bloodline." Akane was a bit ashamed, though it was hard to explain why. "But you're still gonna teach me, right?"

Feather 
It wasn't bad that Akane was born as a human, in fact it made her unique in the militia of this city. "Do not be ashamed of how you were born, however this just means you will have to work twice as hard. We can begin with the Assassin Skills. The first few are relatively simple, as you would expect. The first one is called Double Edge. It's a simple moment in which you twist your two short blades in order to ensure a deadlier strike, and can even sometimes bypass someones protective gear, such as shields and the such. Next is Rotation Slice, which is pretty straight forward. Using your two blades, you will spin, forcing the opponent to either block or get seriously injured. The closer your arms are to your body, the fast you spin."
(1 Post each)
Double Edge Rank: E Description: A basic skill for assassins who prefer using two weapons. Upon swinging/stabbing with the right/left hand weapon you quickly twist it first creating more impact before you suddenly do the same with the other hand. The twisting motion can actually cause a sword or shield to get shoved out of the way if you are of higher rank than the target.
Rotation Slice Rank: D Description: This is a counter move that is used usually after the grim edge attack has been done. You extend your arms and begin to spin with obviously your weapon extended. This will force your enemy to block or move farther from you as you do you pull your arms towards you to spin faster. The effect of this is you will be able to pull of C rank damage with a D rank skill.

Akane Saito Akane cheered up a bit. Of course I'm gonna work hard, I won't give up just because I'm a human!" She thought. But when Feather started explaining the skills, her smile was gone and she was listening very carefully. Her face still looked happy, though. Akane imagined herself coming from the shadows and striking her enemies with her two daggers. When Feather finished explaining, Akane was silent for about half a minute. She then realized that she should do something. "Wait... But how can I try these skills? On a training dummy? She looked around the office. "On her?" She thought and shuddered. "No, no way." She took a deep breath and calmed down. (sorry, i'm still a bit confused)

Feather  (Terribly sorry, lol. Practice on a dummy. In case you're confused what a training post is, it a minimum of three sentence that describes your character attempting to master a skill.
This is a sample of a training post: After several attempts, Elise had numerous gashes on her body, but she will not give up. Her timing was getting better and better every try. With one final attempt, The guard slashed at Elise, but the woman suddenly dropped. When the guard looked down, he saw Elise in a perfect split done in less than a second. Finally she was done with the second stage.
[Second Stage of Muay Thai mastered.])
"Train on the dummy at the far end of the room." She said as she pointed to a somewhat unscathed dummy.

Akane Saito Akane looked to where Feather was pointing. "Of course!' She said as she took her two daggers from the bag she was carrying on her back and walked to the training dummy. She was wondering, did anyone actually used this dummy before, since it was undamaged.
"Here I go!" Akane shouted loudly as she twisted her dagger in the right hand and hit the dummy with it, while trying to do the same with the left hand. It came out awkwardly, since the daggers crossed each other and did not hit the target how it should - just left a small cut. "I wouldn't kill a puppy with that kind of a hit. This will be harder than I thought." Akane trained for hours. Her biggest problem was that the daggers usually crossed each other, causing them to miss the target or her to drop the dagger from her left hand. She was not planning to give up, though, and the smile never left her face, even when she cut her arms. She saw that she was getting better with every try and that made her even happier. She took a deep breath and focused. Akane twisted her right dagger and hit the dummy with all the strength she had left, while, at the same time, successfully doing the same with the left hand. That's when she knew, that the move was done correctly. "I think I would even be able to disarm an opponent with this move. At least the weaker one"
[Double Edge mastered] (Is that ok? My english skills could get in the way, but I hope it won't be a huge problem sweatdrop . And don't I need 2 posts in order to learn that other D rank skill?)

Hiro Allday Errday Feather  (No, you are getting a teaching bonus from this NPC so you are currently getting -4 posts off of training.)
Feather grinned and clapped at Akane's success. Learning her first skill was surely a milestone. "Great job, now try Rotation Slice."

Akane Saito "Alright!" Akane said happily. "I'll just... She showed her wounds on her arms, sat down on the ground and took some bandages from her backpack. When she took care of the cuts, she was ready to learn another skill.
Akane stood up and readied her weapons. She stretched out her arms, trying to spin as quickly as possible. That looked rather funny, because she was spinning so slowly, that she just stopped when the dagger in her left hand touched the dummy. Akane decided, that she needs to learn how to actually spin quickly first, and then try to hit the dummy. So she put her daggers on the ground, extended her arms and just began to spin. After a few attempts her head got dizzy. "I need to look at the same spot all the time, that way it will be easier." Akane learned that from her mother, who once tried to teach her how to dance. "It actually came in handy!" She thought as she tried spinning while watching the dummy. It wasn't that hard, when she understood the trick, so she took her daggers again and tried to spin with them. She was spinning like that for a while, hitting the dummy again and again, trying to spin even quicker by pulling her arms inwards. Akane focused on the force of the spin and she finally hit the dummy so hard, that it got divided into to pieces. "I really hope you have more of these" She looked at Feather and pointed at the dummy.

Feather 
It was great to see Akane mastering the skills so quickly, but the Assassin skills had already ended with the rotation slice. "Sorry, but we're through with the assassin skills. Up next are the fire skills, my favorite! The next five skills you will learn are basic, but useful fire skills. Beginning with fire ball." After looking for a suitable target, Feather found a metal coated training dummy that should last throughout the training process. She quickly jabbed at the air and a small fireball shot at the metal dummy, causing a scorch mark on it. "I won't test out flame deflection, but try and grasp the concept of using equal amount of energy to deflect any fire skill. Flame dagger's are pretty self explanatory, so is fire whip. The fire stream is an advanced version of the fire ball. As the name implies, it is a continued stream, not just a small ball of flames." Looking back at the metal dummy, Feather extended both of her hands and shot out two long streams of fire.
1 post (Fireball Rank: E Description: A basic ability; jabs and punches produce miniature fireballs and missiles of flame. Required for all abilities.
Flame Deflection Rank: E Description: Though this is quite erratic. This basic skill's energy usage is equivalent to the power of the deflected fire-based attack.
Flame Dagger Rank: D Description: Creating blowtorch-like jets from the fist or fingertips to use as close range attacks within meters. These lack the actual ability to block physical objects.
Flame Whip Rank: D Requires: Fire stream Description: An extension of a fire stream, this continuous stream of flame can be used as a whip. Only a range of four meters.
Fire Stream Rank: D Description: Yet another basic ability. With a movement you shoot continuous streams of fire well its continuous for that post and it is a direct stream. )

Akane Saito "Fire skills are amazing!" Akane said happily, watching as Feather performed a move on the dummy. "And hard to learn." She thought, since she never trained her fire abilities, just knew that she had them. Akane put her daggers into the backpack, so they wouldn't get in the way, and focused.
Akane punched the dummy with her right hand, trying to let the fire energy she had inside her through her fist. All she got was a soft smoke and a great deal of pain. "Ah! Metal! Metal!" She shouted while shaking her right hand. "Maybe I'll try it without the dummy first." Akane tried to ignore the pain, and after a few minutes it was gone. She concentrated and punched the air, letting the fire out though her fist. Still, only smoke came out. She was not about to give up, though, so she continued punching the air for quite a while. She was getting more and more tired, the wounds she made before were also hurting. The technique, however, was getting better, and she finally made a small fireball from her right fist. The left one was a bit more tricky, though, but she managed to get it right after some more attempts. When she knew she'll make it, Akane punched the dummy twice with each fist, producing small fireballs.
"Yeah! I made it!" She shouted as she sat on the ground, drained from hours of training. "Do you mind if I rest for today? I don't think I have the energy." Akane was eager to train, but she did understand, that there are limits. "Is there a place to stay in the city?" She was still new, so she had no idea where you can possibly sleep. She usually hid in the shadows, hiding behind some root, but she wanted something more comfortable, if that was possible.

(Sorry for the short post, I am on my phone.)
Feather had almost forgotten that this girl was just a trainee and didnt have as much energy as her. "Yes, dear. You can grab a bite to eat at the Kusana Cafe. Relax as long as you like and then come back to resume your training."
