Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chiyaki slid her hands out of her robe and looked down at the student. "First off, I do not go for cowardice in the academy. A ninja must be ready for anything at any given time. Don't think I didn't see you try and hide behind the other students. Secondly, as the only other student that has finished handseals, I will be your opponent for taijutsu training. Come at me..." The sensei immediately went into a fighting stance by sliding a foot back and bit and squatting down. As she did so, she stared straight into the kid's soul through her piercing amethyst eyes. Hopefully the boy took what was just said to heart and wouldn't give in to her taunt.

As two of his classmates started their assigned training, Chiyaki gave Ruan and Odin the assignment they'd missed. While Chiyaki sensei threatened the lives of her late students Ruan caught the scroll she'd thrown and glanced the over it. 'Hand seals? What the hell are these?' The first couple seals, bird and boar, although did not look familiar to Ruan, he was going to give them a try. "Oh, sure Odin. It'll go much quicker if we do our training together", the boy said smiling enthusiastically. With a glance of the scroll he was able to quickly make the first two handseals and moved onto the next.

Chiyaki walked away, leaving the two to their work. As the boy listened to Odin tell about his father training him in the shinobi arts prior to the academy, he looked over the third handseal. Dog. Looking similar to to boar, Ruan tried to replicate what he saw on the scroll. "I hope we're able to finish this quickly Odin, I don't really want to hold up the class for my tardiness." As Ruan spoke, he fumbled with his hands creating the Dog handseal without a problem. I'm not too bad at this., Ruan said with a smirk. After his interjection, Ruan lowered his head and studied the next seal. Ruan giggled at the name, 'Tatsu, I'll have to tell father when I get home.' With a chuckle, he locked his fingers together to create the dragon seal. The thrill of completing the seal so quickly must have pushed him for a third. 'Hare, alright I've got this.' Ruan made the hand seal in no time and was able to move on.

Over stimulation was clearly not working out for Ruan. As he tried the horse handseal, his hands gitter causing him miss the mark completely. After taking a deep breath to calm down, the boy once again tried to replicate the horse hand seal, and similar to the last time, with no luck. What could he be doing wrong? The small boy shook out his hands as to loosen them. 'Come on Ruan, you can do this. Father didn't send you here to fail him!' Standing, the child readied himself for his next attempt.

The Horse seal was Ruan's new focus. Making the dragon hand seal he'd already completed, the child brought up his bottom most fingers and made a similar shape with his two index fingers. While curling his thumbs, he looked back at the scroll. 'Okay, I think I've got this one down too.' With a smirk Ruan looked over towards his classmate. "Oh come on Odin, you're falling behind! Be sure to study the scroll carefully, I had problems with that third seal." Ruan's smile faded as he returned to his training.

Ruan brought his attention back to the scroll, he studied the seventh of the twelve seals. The boy got closer to the scroll to make sure he had the right idea. 'This looks like the hardest one..' Straightening his fingers first, he pushed them together and then checked back. 'Now it looks like I fold down the second and third finger.' Ruan chucked as he checked his work. Pleased with himself, he shook out his hands again and kneeled. 'This may take less time than I though.' Unraveling the scroll a bit more, Ruan examined it further.

'Okay, what's next on the list?' Following the scroll with his fingers, Ruan read that the Monkey seal was to be his next venture. Placing his palms together and separating his pinky and ring fingers with his thumbs, the boy raised an eyebrow. 'That one was simple enough.' Moving on to the Ram seal the boy molded his hands to resemble the description as he read. Examining the seals strange appearance Ruan shrugged. "That's what it told me to do..", the boy said quietly and then read on.

The seal of the Rat seemed to be next on his to do list. Clapping his hands together as a starting point, the boy started with his pinky and moved one finger at a time until he's accomplished the seal as depicted. Ruan was truthfully surprised he was having such luck with this training regimen. 'Lets not get cocky now, Chiyaki sensei looks like the kind that would wear your ribcage as a hat should you give her any sass. Slowly he turned his head to look and make sure her attention was elsewhere. After making sure he was in the clear from Madam Chiyaki, Ruan looked at his dark complected counterpart. 'Maybe I should wait for Odin. Cant really do it together if I finish before him. Ruan then knelt and read the scroll closely.

((It's a one-hitter-quitter, so do a damage RNG. 1 - 6 then multiply the result by 2 since it's a critical hit.))

Chiyaki watched the boy intently as he came forth. She went to grab at the attacker's fist but, surprisingly, she missed. In doing so, the hit connected dead on. It wasn't a powerful hit... after all, the guy was just a kid. However, the fact that he got a hit in made her stop dead in her tracks. The woman stood straight up and looked down at Jin. "Stop... it seems like you know more about taijutsu than I imagined. You have successfully completed the training."

Ruan knelt and continued to read the scroll as Odin worked diligently beside him. The boy watched his partner attempt and succeed with his training. This made him smile. "I guess, you could say that", Ruan said with a chuckle. From what he could see, Odin had finished around the first half of the hand seals. "The Monkey hand seal isn't too hard, but that Ram seal is kinda odd looking. I took it one finger at a time to get it right." Hopefully that small pearl of wisdom would help his classmate. Ruan then returned to his reading.

While unraveling the scroll to its end Ruan responded to Odin. "Last two, I'll take my time." The boy saw that Snake was second to last. 'It looks easy enough' Ruan interlocked his fingers together atop closed palms to complete the seal. With a smirk he read the description of the last seal. Tiger, one of the few Ruan was familiar with. The boy clapped his hands into the correct seal and jumped to his feet. "Yay, we're finished!", Ruan said excitedly. "Looks like we won't be too far behind after all." After picking up the scroll and folding it back to its original form, he stood next to his classmate. Ruan stood silently awaiting Madame Chiyaki's further instruction.

Ten'nyo smirked somewhat when he said she looked strong. Well that's a good start. she thought to herself. She was already testing Kanjo before the fight even started. However the boy still viewed her as girl which at this stage in her life Ten'nyo didn't like. So now with him allowing her to strike first the young girl resolved to hit the boy with the first swing. How ever she wasn't really much of a fighter and just charged in without a plan. The girl had no taijutsu training what so ever and he swing was wide open and easy to dodge. To put it bluntly she had about as much fighting skill as a drunk in a bar. The only thing she had going for herself right now was a high stamina and that was probably going to be the determining factor in this fight.
