Welcome to Gaia! ::

Razual quickly brought her sword up and blocked Jack's attack before it could make contact with her skull. The resounding crack of wood on wood didn't seem to bother her even though it was very loud. What else did you expect to happen when to wooden blades come together with that much force?

"Well done. I think you've got it," she said.

The woman looked thoughtful for a moment. She was trying to remember the next move she could teach Jack. "Next up is Ground Dragon Flash. You'll pretty much have to figure out how to hit the ground hard enough to make the force of the attack cause the ground to explode towards your opponent," she said.

That said the woman disengaged from Jack and walked out of her dojo. "Let's do this one outside, shall we?" she said. She didn't want to have to replace the floors of her dojo.

Ground Dragon Flash
Rank: C
Description: A technique where it strikes the ground and with the force of the strike, the ground will explode towards the opponent.

Razual was ready for a little more than what she got. The teacher blinked the dust out of her eyes. "Again," she said simply. She adjusted her ready position. She was looking forward to seeing her student split the ground.

Calmly, Razual back flipped out of the way until she was just on the edge of the affected ground. She acted like she hadn't just avoided a mini earth quake. "That move will serve you very well. This next move is called Dragon Double Flash and it is the last move I can teach you till you level up for your katana style. In this move you will perform a series of slashes on your opponent so fast they will not be able to counter attack. It's good for taking on stronger opponents who need more than one move to take them down. You may begin when you are ready," she said.

She held her katana up. She'd mostly block, but if she could get a counter attack in if she could. And she probably would the first time he tried. But that was the point. When she couldn't get a move in she'd know he learned the skill.


Dragon Double Flash
Rank: C
Description: This involves multiple slashes to its opponent, without giving the opponent the chance for a counter attack. It is effective in dealing with those who will not get knocked out with one move.

Razual dodged his attempts to hit her with minimum effort. In other words she moved only enough not to get hit so she wouldn't waste unnecessary energy. "B rank moves are for level 4 students to learn. What makes you so sure your body can handle it, hmmm?" she asked. Her eyes narrowed and her gaze bored into his.

This kid was eating up her lesson so quickly it impressed Razual. But it was also alarming. She had this niggling fear in the back of her mind that if they kept going at this pace he'd burn his body out. However that look in his eye... While the maddness in it worried her it also showed a determined strength. And he was willing to go past his limits. You didn't get student like that often.

While she was thinking and dodging his attacks he somehow managed to surprise her. It was that Ground Dragon Flash. She hadn't seen it coming. The swordswoman ended up stumbling and while she was recovering Jack attacked again. His horizontal slash sent her sprawling into the uprooted earth. Razual coughed and looked up at her student.

She tipped her head back and laughed. It had been a long time since anyone knocked her on her rear. Then she promptly coughed from the dust again. "Alright kiddo, I'll teach you," she said. She rubbed dirt out of her eye.

"Do you want to take a water break first?" she questioned.

Razual nodded and got to her feet. "Alright then. The next move is Dragon Mallot Flash. It's an aerial attack that hits hard, but is graceful. The move is like a Dragon diving down from the sky onto its prey, hammering into it with one vertical slash and utilizing its weight. You'll have to look inside yourself to find the dragon so you can use this attack well," she said.

Rank: B
Description: This move is like a Dragon diving into its opponent from the sky and hammering down with a vertical slash by using its weight.

Razual quickly side stepped out of the way without hesitation. Why shouldn't she? That attempt was no where near enough to even phase her. Razual looked down at him. "Graceful and deadly, Jack. Get up and try again," she said. She rested her wooden katana against her shoulder.
