Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another child showed up. He was quite respectful and it was adorable. These kids would be a delight. The last would show up shortly and a more fomal lesson would be able to begin. But now they were teaming up to make good points. Having conversations that went back so fluidly were delightful. She enjoyed so much she stood up, now having a bit of height on the other two, but did so more so that she could twirl in whimsical fashion. Her arms extending upward in a gracefull manner and her skirt rising at the quick movement of the twist ended as she finished and came to in a bended pose looking the others in the eye again, posed to respond,

"Well you're right. Most my experience is based off being raised in a two-man cell. I am a specialist of gathering information, deciet, and the arts which clearly would not be sufficient on my own. So when I needed healing, my partner was there, when the team needed a hand-to-hand fighter, my partner was there. In theory, a specialist should be as specific in their following as possible, not ninjutsu and ranged combat, just one or the other, specialising in a single element, but there are just too many catgories. A true specialising team can not cover every aspect of ninja skills with just three people. If your team were to end up being specialists in the way of puppets, taijutsu, and ninjutsu for example, what happens when someone comes with monstrous physical defenses and reflexes but has a really weak mind? You have three specialists technically but still without a genjutsu user to break this opponent. There are too many ninja arts for a mere three man team.
But you guys are so young and I don't wish to dampen spirits. You'll have all the time in the world to learn for yourselves or even prove me wrong. Don't fret about how good your skills that you haven't even developed will be. You are children an we are in no rush to raise you into killers, so relax and your own unique path will become evident in time, I promise."

Another long point which was essentially stream-of-consciousness speaking, drawing from her days with Djini. It was such great fun and fancy-free times. Nadiya twirled around more thinking about how exciting it will be to show these kids the beauty in the shinobi life.

The one boy seemed down about his decision. Such inconfidence it seemed. She kneeled down to him. She placed her index finger on his cheek and moved it about his face, steadily progressing to his chin, than abruptly twisting her finger, slightly pulling around some of his skin in the process. She then grabbed his hand and looked at it intensly, squinting a little. In a quirky manner she smiled abruptly and said

"We'll work on this."

She then sat back down more comfortably and looked at her two students with admiration.

She thought about the boy's question, who were they waiting for . . . She did not know their names very well. Another jounin at the academy mentioned them but she had forgotten it by now. . .

"Hmmm . . . Well, I know we are waiting for a girl."

A rather insubstantial response, but she did not have a good answer. What would they do when she got here though? She hated introductions; in her old caravan, she had many good friends whose name she dd not know ever, and wasn't entirely sure if they had names to be honest. So would she skip right to training? Alright well she didn't care for introductions, but maybe see how power hungry they were. Then they would train in an obsessive fashion, but who knew . . .

[ Enter]
Gwendolyn approached the area in which she would begin her training. She caught site of three people and she slowly walked towards them. The eight year old is wearing a plain white t-shirt that fits her shapeless figure. A long black tight fitting shirt underneath it and a gray colored tea sleaved jacket over all of it. Black tight pants that hugs her hips and legs. A black studded belt around her waist and a small pouch. Her long dirty blond hair in a ponytail high on her head. Her shoes are black faded boots that go a little over her ankles (Tundra boots). Around her neck is a silver chain with a tiny ANBU shaped mask charm on it. On her knees and hands she has off white colored medical wrap bandages.

Kazuma blushed at the sight of the girl, she was his age and was pretty to boot and he tried to hide it and look away but his nervousness was too easy to notice and would come down to him trying to choke out his words in fragments to the sensei who had called them all to meet. "K-Kazuma Akimitsu... I-I wanna learn p-puppetry and a decent range of n-ninjutsu's too... and learn a f-few t-things I believe would be useful for a p-puppet master." He had just met the girl and she already had him shaking a little bit. Taking quick glances at Gwendolyn out the corner of his eye, then snapping them back to his sensei.

The stuttering boy was simply adorable. Nadiya thought back to when she first joined a team, wondering if she were that nervous. No she wasn't, but she was a carefree and confident girl. If she remebered correctly Djini was terrified. Tetsan wasn't but he was a cocky b*****d, so he wouldn't be afraid. Alright ninjutsu she could handle teaching, but puppetry would require Djini's help. When the next boy spoke up she listened carefully. She normally didnt care about people's names but this kids name was interesting enough to make her may attention. After hearing it from the source she was still unclear on pronunciation of the name, oh well. Hmmm . . . She knew weapons, but again she would need Djini's help with taijutsu which she knew little about. But then again, they were young and initial taijutsu training would just be kicking a stump over and over again. Nadiya posed a question,

"Alright, give me a rough idea about what you guys know already.

She then realized she hadn't heard from the girl yet and looked at her,

"What about you darling? What are your shinobi aspirations?"

Nadiya stood, awaiting responses from all of her students.

Oh all these students seemed shy, well only stutterer did. Long name and girl seemed more quiet, between which there was a distinction. But closed wasn't a bad thing. Because closed people are like closed flowers, which in time bloom with burst of color and beauty and olifactory magnificence!!!! She cooed at them all silently, as happy as could be and responded to the girl,

"Well I love the confidence and assserition in your voice! 'I will be an ANBU' absolutely splendid!well ANBU are secretive, usually do the killing stuff. You either want to work on stealth, gathering information, human anatomy, and senbon, it's spread out I know but that makes a typical assasain ANBU; but you could always go genjutsu and weapons too. But really, the specifics aren't important at this stage, you all have a lot to learn and opinions and aspirations change as one grows."

Hmmm, maybe a test to see how they are with chakra control since unlike with he gennin days, chakra will benifit these guys imensely. Without waiting for anyone else to speak she made herself known and clear,

"Alright, I will test your skills! We are going to go through many variants of skills, but will start out with one of the most basic ones. Walking on stuff. Even apart from the fact that walking on walls and water is exhilarating, it is also incredibly practical. So focus chakra in your feet and get up that tree there."

She pointed at a tree that wasn't excessively tall, but intimidating to the inexperienced. She was curious how well they would adapt and think with little instruction.

((Chakra Control (Int) check DC 18 (15+3 for having no instruction)
You need 10 successes to pass. I'm aware that for two of you, this is DC 19 since you have a -1 to int and no skill points yet, but the rule is, once you fail 5 times, Nadiya will give you a tip or brief explanation that lowers the DC by two. another 5 failures and she does it again, lowering it another 2. This goes on (If you are that unlucky) until the DC is 10, and if you haven't beaten it by then, just keep going with that final DC. And Nadiya will verbally give you the hint/tip because it is good for RP, but Im not going to make you wait for me so just pretend I gave you the hint, lower the DC and keep going and I will make the statement when Im on. If this doesn't make sense (things always make more sense in ones own head than when they say it aloud) let me know and I can clarify.

Also, Shuriken I'm pretty sure you've been doing this for awhile so I'm not concerned about you, but Kazuma and VainRose, Im curious how familiar you guys are with the battle system and d20 rules in general, if you got it, fine, but if you're inexperienced let me know and I can help with that, but who knows you two could be pros and I just dont know XD))
