Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsuko smiled and nodded, but there was a bit more she could have done with that. "You are a quick thinker...but when an opponent attacks, you must not only defend yourself an enemy's attack against them. Instead of calling the insects back into your body, you could simply have them swarm onto the opponent once they come in contact with your insect clone. Since this strategy works for all taijutsu techniques, this concludes kunoichi lesson number 1: taijutsu."

Mitsuko was relieved she had found a student that does not rely on other people to tell her what to do. Her quick thinking had helped her avoid the kick. "Now, let's move onto lesson #2: genjutsu..." Mitsuko made a string of handseals and then training grounds started humming with a strange noise and Mitsuko dissolved into the air. Suddenly, a tree burst out of the floor and started to wrap around kiater...

(I mean...you need to get some training down to increase you skill points. And you do that by posting the process of learning the technique. each post is worth 100 skill points. while you are training, I can just tell you about strategies without disturbing your training, cuz I'm usually not online when you're online.)

Tamao

Setting her pencil down, Tamao took a moment to rest. She wasn't done with the test, there was still a little bit left, but she needed a rest. She'd been using her brain all day, and if she didn't lighten up, she could very well burn out and cost herself the exam. That was simply unacceptable, she'd have to make sure to let herself rest every so often to make sure it didn't happen. They said it was important to rest the day before a big test, maybe she'd give that a try?
After a moment, she felt up to continuing, and pressed on. It seemed to have payed off, her mind felt a little sharper and she breezed through the last few questions. Setting her pencil down again, she looked over her answers and was pretty satisfied with them. Of course, they hadn't been graded yet, so she couldn't say for sure how she did. But it looked good to her, and for the moment that was enough. She wondered how Hedoro was faring on her test? Glancing over, she seemed to be working hard, that was good. Hopefully she'd continue to improve and get better, make all this work she was putting into graduating pay off.

Tamao

Tamao noticed that Hedoro had finished as well, so it was time to check her work. They switched tests, and began grading them. The process went a little faster this time, since they'd just done it a few hours before. Hedoro had done pretty good, a little better than the last one. Not by much, just one or two questions, but it had been a harder test. She had half-expected her to miss a few more instead of a few less. Not because she doubted her abilities, but because she had wanted her to do so.
If she had done not quite as good, it might have fired her up to do even better next time. This result might be even better, though. If she'd noticed the test was harder, and she'd still done better, that'd be a really nice boost to her confidence. Setting her pencil down, she double-checked what her results had been. Yup, Hedoro had gotten almost all of them right, only fifteen wrong, better than her last grade by an entire bracket. It was still close, if even one more had been wrong it wouldn't have counted as an improvement in the books, but she'd pulled it off. Maybe she'd keep getting better, with enough practice? If only they had more time!

Tamao

They had both finished grading each other's tests, so handed them back. Both of them seemed happy enough with their grades, since they had both improved by at least a little. After going over their mistakes on their own, they spent some time explaining the mistakes they had each made. This was just like they had done the first time, and hopefully by repeating this action, it'd become second nature for them to look for mistakes on their own, to fix them ebfore they caused problems.
By then, it was getting kind of late. It wasn't dark yet, but it was nearing suppertime, and about half of the students had already left for the day. They could have stuck around, but everyone had their own way of deciding what was best. Tamao and Hedoro decided to call it a day, at least as far as the official classes were concerned. They might very well end up studying more before bed, or maybe they'd just save the rest that they had planned for tomorrow. They gathered their things and got up, ready to leave. The instructor bid them good night, and told them to be sure to show up on time tomorrow. They both nodded, and went on their way.

"tsk, tsk." Were the sounds that came out of the instructors mouth as she shook her head. "Try once more, but this time concentrate a little harder!" Draven nodded in agreement before getting into his stance. The instrucotr pulled out a shuriken this time with a grin of confidence upon her face as Draven started the seals for the jutsu. Chi flung the shuriken towards the figure of Draven only to watch it sink into his torso before his clothes fell towards the floor causing a tudd from the log conecting to the ground. Draven sliped up behind the instructor before tapping her upon the shoulder with a suriken."verry good Draven!" Spoke Chi. "Shall we move on to the next jutsu?" Chi asked as Draven shook his head the instructor moved the logs out of the room.

Instructor Chi then started to walk towards the water only to fool Draven as he would have thought Chi would get it done right the first time. Draven was wrong and Chi knew this for she had a smirk upon her face as she took a step into the water. Chi then took a step backwards before looking to the figure of Draven and saying, "That is what happens if you do the seals wrong or dont apply enough Chakra also if you apply to much Chakra you just might also have a problem. Chi smirked once again before she repeated the same seals, Draven noticed she was having trouble herself with the chakra flow to do this. As the instructor finished the seals a blue arch was vissible around her feet, as Draven guessed it, it was the Chakra flow around Chi's feet.

2/6 Water walking

Draven then opend his eyes realizing he is under the water he swam for the surface. Once Draven reached the surface he grabed the edge of the pond only to pull himself out of the water. He shook his head allowing the water to spring off his body. Draven then turned to look at the pond woundering what he had done wrong. His face drew askew as Draven concentrated upon the thought of what went wrong. Draven shook his head clearing his mind of his mistake only to relax slightly. His hands moved back towards his mid section as Draven then started to perform the seals once again concentrating upon bothe the seals and the chakra flow.

4/6 Water walking

As Draven finished the seals he walked towards the water. One step at a time he walked further out then he did last time. Draven then realized that he went farther and continued to stay focused upon the chakra flow. "Good Job Draven, now go to the other side and back!" Instructor Chi called out to Draven as he continued to walk across the water. Draven realized that the fish seemed to come up to the surface a lot more when there are no ripples from the walking or swimming in the pond. Draven reached the other side of the pond only to turn around and walk back to where his instructor remaind. Draven walked a little bit faster on his way back acrossed the pond hoping that he will not loose his control this close to the end. As Dravens feet fell upon the coast of the pond Draven's Instructor walked towards him only to shake her head up and down, "Cogrates!" Chi spoke as she then motioned him onto the next lesson.
