Vishnu and Brahma collasped on the ground after the intense work out.
"Hey, isn't that the guy from the dance" Vishnu pointed at Rick.
Sailor Brahma had noticed earlier that Rick had been stuck working with one of the other girls. She had frowned as he gave her a helpless look.
"Yeah it is, his names Rick" In the commotion after the ball she had not had time to tell her sister about him yet.
"He's cute, I'm jealous. Oh here he comes. I'll see you back at the dorms" Vishnu sprang up and jogged out of the Gym, leaving Brahma alone as Rick approached her.
"Hey Anna" Rick used her human name. "I don't suppose we could talk?"
"Sure" Brahma jumped up and let Rick lead her out of the Gym.

Day 4
As you walk out onto the field you notice racks and racks of weaponry. On closer inspection you notice the weaponry appears to be made of clouded ice. It comes in all sizes and types. Swords, daggers, staves, chains, axes of every shape and composition.
"We're doing combat training today. Grab yourself a weapon." Shiva held a pole arm similar to her own.
Picking up a weapon you notice it changes shape slightly to match whatever weaponry you normally use. (If any)

Sailor Vishnu picked up a quarter staff and was somehow not surprised as it shrunk and morphed into the same shape as the rod she normally carried. "It's weird, it's like I've seen these before... " Vishnu commented aloud.

"Hmm seam some students are running late. No matter, they can catch up when they get here."
Shiva held up he staff. "These Ice weapons I've provided you are specially made for training. They were designed my myself and the previous incarnations of Brahma and Vishnu. Each one is magically enchanted to do a couple things.
First, if you have access to magical weaponry, like a staff or sword, they will morph themselves into exact replicas, mimicking size, shape, weight and balance. Otherwise, they maintain their current shape.
Second, if you've noticed, they don't melt and aren't particularly cold to the touch.
"Thirdly, and most importantly, they are designed to breakaway when struck violently on soft surfaces, like well you. Watch."
Shiva took the staff and struck it hard against the ground. It remained intact. She then took it and hit a tree taking a deep chunk of bark out. Then she extended her other arm and hit it with the tip of the staff in what should have been a maiming blow. Instead the tip of the staff shattered throwing shards of ice in all directions. A piece hit her cheek and drew a bit of blood which she wiped away.
"Your weapon will not shatter unless the blow is enough to cause serious injury, and blows will still hurt, so you must still be careful. If your sparing partner taps out or surrenders, you must immediately stop. You will wear long sleeves and pants at all time to deflect shards. You will also wear the safety goggles in the crate beside me. These ice shards normally won't give you more then a minor cut and melt away quickly, but one in the eye can do serious damage before melting. "
"If your weapon shatters, you know you've won, or at least struck what would be a maiming blow. At this point your sparing stops while you pick up a new weapon from the racks. "
"Any questions?"

Sunano picked up a staff and was surprised as it enlarged and turned into a sand-clock-staff with sharp chains attached to it. "Y'know, these things are pretty smart." She pointed her staff towards a tree, en-wrapping it's chains around it and braking the tree in two. "Oops, sorry, I'll fix that..." She closed her eyes and concentrated heavily, creating a black sphere around the broken tree which started swirling clock-wise and then changed direction. When the sphere disappeared, the tree was back to normal, with a few scratches though. "Hmm... Still needs practice..." She shrugged and examined the fake Sand-Keeper...
Airi laughed. "Oh my, now THIS is what you call ironic... An ice weapon for an ice sorcerer - this should be fun." She picks up a staff and looks at it with a fascinated look and a glint in her eyes. "Oh yeah, now that's what I'm talking about. These could be used for occasions when we need to protect some relic. We could replace the actual object with a copy and when it's stolen, it could activate some trap or defense mechanism... Wait! What am I even blabbering about! This is combat, not battle strategy! Now, who wants a piece of me?"

"Thats very good thinking Airi. That's actually been done. Sadly the weapons have a short shelf life, so it's uses as a diversion are highly circumstantial."

"Sorry, I've been gone a while. I think I need to go over some of the motions again for now." *Illumina picks up a staff and begins going over some of the things she'd learned before. "Shiva. I've gotta hand it to you. Your knowledge in combat and training methods are remarkably effective. Particularly, the safety measures taken to preserve us studens is much appreciated."
