Kokoa continued writing down notes. She hoped this would be done soon. Her hand was already hurting, she wasnt use to writing this much and her handwriting was getting very messy. She ignored the sloppy work and continued writing, Kokoa would come back later and profect her notes. That way later she could come back and easily read it. Quote: Note taking Uh oh.

 More and more, the facts keep flooding into Haruna's head, soon she was getting facts that she never even thought of into her head. Haruna's hand was beggining to hurt but she didn't care, she was to into her work.

TABTAB]Mizu let out a large sigh as he continued to write down his notes in the notebook, making doodles and figures of what the teacher was describing. He figured this way it'd be easier to understand and make his notebook look better. In fact his notebook looked as if it were taking a transformation into a sketchbook through all of the figures and doodles that began to covet the pages barely leaving any space for words to describe them. Through the doodling his mind began to wake up ever so slightly allowing him to get lost in the time and just take down his notes and sketches without anymore complaint. Note taking

 Haruna's hand started to cramp up after a few minutes and she almost flung the pencil right out of hands. She dropped the pencil and started to massage her hand to stop the hurting and then continued on writing after her hand had stopped hurting. Stupid hand! Haruna thought to herself, Now I have to catch up.

Shortly after Haruna started writing again, she once more felt the pain of her cramp and had to relax it for a minute just to release the tension from her hand. Whilst massaging it she kept a mental note in her head of what the teacher was saying so she could later take notes once her hand had healed.

((FI'm gonna stop the Note taking training. Anyone that didn't finish will be given an opportunity to gain extra EXP later. You all need to graduate.))
Mokujin continued to ramble on about how chakra comes about and the uses for it. As he did, he walked behind his desk and grabbed a bunch of rolled up papers. The wooden puppet passed one out to each student and went into his next subject. He easily transitioned into his next part of his teaching extremely smooth. "Okay students, dis is where some real work comes. I will teach ya about hand seals. Ya need these to pull off jutsus. In your scrolls are a list of seals and I want ya to copy them exactly as their shown. Get to work!"

TABTAB]Mizu's concentration on that task at hand was becoming easier and easier. He was beginning to understand what the teacher was saying and remembering on the spot instead of needing to go back. His paper turned from page to page becoming neater and more organized as his thoughts and his memory was jotted down into the book. The pages filled to the brim, as if painted on the words created a mental picture of his thoughts. Soon his concentration lead him to believe the teacher was coming to an end of his lesson. TABTAB]Yes!Yes! Finally this lesson is coming to an end. Years and years of listening to his parents talk on and on about archery and swordsmanship and honor have slightly honed in his ability, as a child that doesn't want to listen through a lesson, to tell when the lesson is being concluded. HIs face brighten up and energy surged through Mizu's body as his pencil was being ground down on to the sheet of paper articulating his joy and amusement of being done this lesson he never wanted.

TABTAB]More chakra training tips? Damn when are we going to get to the actual training? Oh well at least this isn't writing.Mizu ecstatic that he doesn't need to write anything else down jumps as the chance to read the scroll. reading through the scroll he tries to make out one of the hand seal dragon but he just can't make his fingers bend the right way. After a couples of tries of trying to get this one hand seal down he gives up on it and tries to move on to a different one. TABTAB]After failing the dragon hand seal MIzu decided to move onto an easier less complicated one and moved onto the handseal of bird. This time his coordination was better and he got closer to making the actual hand seal. Ah close but no cigar, lI don't need clos eI need perfection or good enough would suffice at this point. Aggravated Mizu began ro study the scroll creating a distraught look on his face as he tried to focus on each hand seal. Making a mental image on each one and trying to remember how each looked before blindly trying to recreate them. Hand Seals

TABTAB] After a few minutes of memorizing the scroll Mizu decides to knock out the easier ones first. He started off making the boar. His hands were almost perfect, they would pass in his mind. Though a little skeptical he continued to practice, engraving the feel, the looks, and the placement of his hands. The little details of his fingers where they placed next to each other, with the seals engraved into his mind and his hands Mizu deducted it was time to move into the next hand seal. TABTAB] Looking over his scroll again he debated with himself which one of the seals he should program into his mind. Soon he just instinctively moved his hands like a robot and placed his hand over his fist. He was recreating the dog seal almost perfectly as well, Good, Good, I'm starting to get these now. This isn't to hard, might as well move into the next one I guess. Next up like a mistro Mizu moved his hands into the perfect position for the monkey seal. TABTAB]Alright three down and so many more to go but this, this is to easy. Anyone of us could easily do these. Now it's time to start doing more at a time. Looking down at the scroll Mizu decided to memorize the entire sheet before doing hand signs. TO help memorize them he created a certain order for the next 3 handseals he choose between those that shared similarities. He went from serpent into tiger, and then from tiger into rat. The transitions were hard to see as his speed in creating each hand sign sped up faster and faster has Mizu repeated those three hand signs for a couple of minutes. TABTAB] After breezing through those three Mizu decided to take a small break, get some rest in and collect his thoughts. Really now, does he really cal this training? I mean anyone would be able to pick these up. Oh well break times over. With that Mizu stretched out arms out and began his little strategy of doing three in a row. His hands formed together creating the monkey seal and quickly changed off to ox and then as quickly as he went to ox it changed into ram. TABTAB] Looking over the list Mizu came to the conclusion that he still had to do 5 more. His body went into hyper memorizing mode as he struggled to remember the last five. In that mode his hands began to synchronize with his thoughts. Hand seal after hand seal his hands flourished in created the signs until he made the last five. After going over the last five he decided to preform all of them one last time in the same fashion. As if programmed his hands move together, synchronized, and as if in perfection motion.He did the training with barely breaking a sweat. Hand Seals

He had been brought out of his mind for this? To do the simple hand signs that would be useless, unless he were to use some random jutsu? He understood that, on the off chance that he was to focus on purely ninjutsu, he would need to learn these hand signs, but on the reverse of that, would he not be able to learn them on the spot? How difficult to master could slight motions be? The nuances of movement and positioning in his hands was long since instilled in him, if not by his obsessive parents, by his guitar playing.
So he began the exercise, halfheartedly at first, simply trying to contort his large masculine hands into the strange, (and somewhat useless), shapes that were considered so very important for chakra control. He decided to make a game of it. A playful smile crept upon his face, it would be quite a bit of fun, seeing as everyone was focusing so wholeheartedly on their own attempts at the lesson. He could pretty much get away with doing whatever he wanted in this short period of practice.
He started off with a few basic jokes, bunny ears, the finger, a fist bump with himself, the motion of clicking invisible castanets. He was almost bored, and was close to actually beginning the task put before him, when he noticed, from the back of the classroom, a gleam of light, making a perfect canvas before him, a perfect space of light that was absolutely necessary for continuing his game. He nearly thanked god for his luck, but instead accredited it the weather. He had now, his own little shadow puppet theater.
He idly began with the basics, a coyote, a butterfly, a person, but then he began to get elaborate, completely forgetting the fact that he was supposed to be training his coordination in one of the most fundamental arts of the shinobi, and instead immersing himself with his most advanced instincts, entertainment. He continued to test figures, shapes, until he felt he had a bit of a mastery at the skill, but what was next? Perhaps a bit of a test with story? He had ample time, well, not really, but at this point he had ignored his original goal with such fervor that he felt this was what he was supposed to be doing.
So he presented to himself, "The Zigurat Hoshigaki Theater's: The Shark and the Swordsmen". Once upon a time... as most stories do tend to begin, There was a brave swordsmen. Ziggy made the character with his left hand. Who came from a very small village. One day, the mayor, His off hand instantly formed the mayor of the town. Told the swordsmen, We have run out of food! What will we do for winter? The swordsmen smiled, Why, Mr. Mayor, I would rather die than see the village starve! The mayor frowned. Wouldn't both of those mean the same thing? Ziggy had to hold himself back from laughing. What wit! What style! What flair for drama! This was a masterpiece in the making, he glanced from his work to gather a consensus from the room. It was then he remembered where he was.
He looked around the room, and noticed, unlike him, most of his fellow students were actually working on doing the hand signs, and properly fulfilling their sensei's request. He felt bad, seeing as, even if they did, which was likely, have a existing ability for hand signs, they were working hard as if they had never done them before. He felt his dulled heart cry out in pain, a sort of respect and sadness, why, if sharks were in the slightest in relation to the grinch, his heart might have grown 2 sizes.
He quickly turned his attention to the scroll. He began to peer through it, like he had thought, he had not seen them before, and most were not immediately useful, but because of the sense of comradary he felt for his classmates, he began to easily copy the first few hand signs on the scroll. These first few were genuinely easy, a simple pressing of palms, or the hands locked with an extended digit. He found these simple, and after performing them once decided they required no practice. He continued to some of the others.
He found, around halfway down, that they got quite pointlessly difficult. If he had not been so skilled at finger control and movement from playing guitar, he would have found the simple idea of the positions his hands were supposed to consider absolutely impossible. He considered the type of jutsu these might be used for, perhaps a powerful summoning, or maybe a fantastically frantic defensive technique, the mind reeled at the possibilities before him. He now found it quite entertaining.
He managed his way towards the end of the scroll, struggling, he was now attempting the simple configuration of the last one. His hands wrestling around each other like twin snakes, his fingers attempting to branch off like an suspiciously advanced fungi. He wrestled with it for a bit, and managed to form an exquisite knot with his fingers that took a while to remove. This was almost needlessly difficult, obviously this final hand sign was part of some forbidden jutsu, nevertheless he kept at it, and after a few more knotted attempts, he pulled it up, it was almost beautiful to him.
He smiled, but noticed one thing wrong, the pinky. That b*****d of a finger! So constantly on guitar, it's inept ability to act individually and bend properly had made an otherwise simple composition extremely. Even with his mastery of guitar, he couldn't manage to perfect the art of moving his pinky, and here was the proof. He tried to wrestle it into position, but found it impossible from the current angle he would have to completely undo the hand sign. He did with a sigh of anger.
He began again, this time making sure his pinky managed its way perfectly into the completion. He tried for quite a bit in a half finished position to force his pinky into the position it would culminate in completion of the hand sign. After a bit more wrestling, he managed, though it did cause a snap he might regret a bit later. So he finally had finished his training, but no quite, seeing as simply doing the hand signs was no accomplishment, his next step would to master them.

He now went back to the beginning of the scroll, gazing at the initial hand signs, repeating them, and cycling from one to the next in the blink of an eye, attempting to finish the whole scroll in one go. This was not something he could actually achieve, because as soon as he reached the lower half of the scroll, he lost any ability for speed, and had to instead, focus on redoing them a few times. He decided, that, like in music, he would just start out slow, doing each at about a second per hand sign, then moving into the next, until he could comfortably switch between one to the next at a reasonable pace.
He continued, struggling in the later still, trying to get into that position in a second took a few times on each one, and that was nothing in comparison to the final one, the one that had made it so very difficult for him to continue on his quick campaign the first time gave him more when he tried to master it, try and obtain its strange positions in a single moment, it was tough, but with focus, he managed to master the basic movements, each step to completing the super hand sign, then replay them slowly, making it in about 10 seconds, then he repeated it a few times, again and again, until it was 9, then 8, and soon enough, one second!
So now, he tested himself, he would snap his eyes to a random hand sign on the paper, and perform it within the time limit he had set for himself, then he began his true test. He went through them in a near instant, he had managed the continued use, but he didn't remember them. He closed his eyes, imagining the names of them in order, then performing them in his personal darkness. He opened his eyes and reviewed the sheet, all correct, and with plenty of time to spare. So he decided quite quickly what to do next. Finish his shadow puppet show.
He continued the story, but imbued his new found knowledge, using some of the symbols and signs he had just learned for some characters, and using the previous shadow figures he had used for others, within a few minutes, he was playing out a full story with quite a few characters, and all effortlessly. The story was interesting, and everything was fine, when he finished, he simply leaned back and sighed, another job well done.
He looked around, only one other man appeared to be finished, the one from the front of the room, the nameless guy. The one he had snubbed, apparently he had some skill, or luck, either way, he didn't focus on it, instead, he decided to take another look at the other students, and the teacher, who he had decided had quite an easy job, while preparing himself for his next display of skill, or perhaps next creative endeavor.

Ziggy sat there for a bit, before realizing something quite important, how very, very, very, bored he was. He had managed to find entertainment in his previous tasks, but now that he was finished, he had nothing to do. He tried to think, but no, he needed his hands to be occupied with some task, otherwise he would simply feel like he was wasting his time. So he sat up in his seat, and decided on the most obvious course of action.
"Mokujin-sensei," he began in his deep voice, his hypnotic voice, his beautiful voice. It was a chance to treat to a class that had only heard him talk once before. "I was wondering if I could do something else? I'm kind of done." He finished unblinking, he was confident that this not only impressed his fellow students, but his teacher as well, he knew very much the power of initiative, and this was the obvious choice in continuing his training, and to continue the impression he had left on the class.

Mokujin kinda laughed at the student. There was always one student in the class that was one step ahead of everyone else. It was definitely a good thing though. There was nothing worse than a lazy ninja.
The instructor smirked a bit and pointed to the training area outside."Okay ten, you can go outside and do some pushups. Try not to get to wrapped up, 'cause when everyone else is finished I will do some more teachin'. Ya understand?"Quote: Push-upsFormula: 1d20 + STR DC: 10 + STR 10/10
