The field is large, maybe three football (Crazy American's call them soccer) fields. Half of it is paved, while half isn't. The half unpaved has several little stations, or areas, near the back wall where there are different environment types. On the paved half there are six rows, four deep, of training dummies used for ranged and magic practice. While there are holes in the ground where the dummies, on their poles, can be set for close-range fighting and ability practice.
On the line between the paved and unpaved, there is a string of lanterns hanging twelve feet up, these wind around the entirety of the walled in courtyard training area and shed light at night.
The training fields can be used by anyone, can be sparred in (must be teacher present), tutored in, or practiced in. Magic practice and learning is not allowed here unless the magic teacher is present and tutoring the student.

Otto walked onto the open floor of the courtyard and training fields, her boots clicking the whole way. A bundle of light-bulbs, she'd 'found' around the school, over her shoulder in a rubber sack. Otto quickly decided that practicing on the stone paved area would be safer then in the field and on the grass when there was both a pond nearby and water in the grass. Thankfully most of the area contained no electronics. Setting the bag down Otto got to work and began to pull the light-bulbs out one by one. This proved futile as most were either already broken, or they broke in her hands. Processing the situation, she decided it would be better to set the bag on its side and carefully roll the bulbs out onto the ground, then figure out what to do.
This proved better as soon all of the remaining bulbs were out and on the ground. However Otto soon discovered that even then it would be hard to separate the bulbs. Processing it once more, she carefully head into the grassy area and broke a bamboo shoot. Using it, she separated the bulbs and began the just of her work.
Otto held her hand out, observing her power levels and other statistics on her main processor as she burned the bulb out and it shattered. No change registered on her screens.
"Maybe... the circuitry is hidden? Or my processors could be flawed and these could be inaccurate readings," Otto said to herself slowly as she crouched on the ground near the broken bulbs, the faster her processors began to work the brighter the bulbs around her began to burn, "But if its hidden then a full system check should reveal where it is and why it doesn't register... System check shows no signs of hidden mechanisms within the body... Perhaps then its not linked to the interface and hard-drive, maybe its stored next to the minor processors.... Running full [internal] system check.... Error 403.21398773 occurred... System malfunction... Burn out occurring.... [Dante] 404 shutting down minor processors.... shut down failed.... [Dante] code 304 freezing processors.... Processors frozen.... Complete shut down beginning.... Shut down aborted... Running virus check.... No viruses found... Shut down resuming... Hard drive clean out occurring.... 00110010101110011001101 010100100001000101 1101011100100100100010011100111 10010111010101000100101..... Clean out complete, total shut down finished.... Systems will log out in... 3... 2...." Otto lost control of her body as error 403.21398773 occurred, but she didn't black out until her scanners shut down and internal screen went black. Upon the total shut down of her body and processors, the bulbs broke. Otto's only regret at the time was that she had been unable to find what gave her, her ability. Until she found out, she'd have to continue and try to monitor and limit the amount of energy transfer and the wavelengths of data she sent out to Rebook, the processor which housed most of her data base.

"Reboot... System uploading... System uploaded... Processors returning to normal... Error 201... Processors rebooting.... Loading... Loading.... Loading..... Loading.... 1010101101.... Loading complete... Host loading.... Loading complete.. RRrrrrRRRrTTTTttTTTttt!!!! Oh Agatha what happened?!?" Otto exclaimed as she finished rebooting and was startled by the largeness of her body which she had been so accustomed to, "What happened? How long has it been? Wait... Running error synopsis.... Report.... Readings before crash: nominal, no change.... Readings after crash: power spike in 404040404040404040404040404040404..... system malfunction.... system quitting.... Bzzt! That's odd! I don't recall system 404040404040404040404040404040404, in fact I'm sure it doesn't exist... system dumping short term memory.... Bzzt! What was I just doing? Oh my Agatha! My outer cover is coated in scratches! You can see my circuitry! EAK!"
Otto stood and looked at her scratched and broken faux skin, oil leaked out slowly from some areas-which concerned her. Looking at the broken light bulbs she picked up the metal bases and chewed them, soon thin plates of metal appeared to cover the scratched areas and prevent oil leakage until she could fix the holes and check for shards of glass. It occurred to her that though she had practiced, she'd failed at control and had a rather odd gap in her memory. Shrugging Otto began to clean up the glass shards.

Following the directions that he was given, Zack finally made it to his destination. He looked around for a while and finally came to the conclusion that he had no idea what there was to do.

Ninotchka licked her lips as she jumped down from one of the walls. A small machine in her left hand making a light crunching noise as it hit the ground as well.
"Ribot girl stay vay! You! You 'ave bad rage! I 'elp!" Ninotchka shouted, first to Otto, then at Zack, she set the machine down but didn't turn it on, "Spar firsts. Experiments... em... mabe lat'er."

Zack sighed as he saw Ninotchka. He really did not like that teacher, but if she could help him with his rage, he would accept her help. He looked over at Otto, then back to the teacher and asked "You mean you want me to fight a robot?" He laughed hysterically and barely managed to say "I will destroy her!"

"Be interesting. But, non. You fights me," Ninotchka said with a crooked smile, then tried to aggravate him by touching her cheek and joking with him, "I bet 'it like little girl-man no?"

Zack stopped laughing and smirked at the teacher "Are weapons allowed?" His grin grew slightly as his hand held fermly onto the handle to his sword.

"Veapons allowed," Ninotchka replied, her eyes narrowing as she watched Zack's hand grip his sword.
Unfazed, Ninotchka took two bracers from her the back pocket of her casual uniform. Strapping them on, she lightly and loosely balled her fists holding them before her with her left under her chin and her right near her heart. She waited for Zack to make the first move.

Zack popped his sword out a little so that only part of his blade showed. He was preparing to do a quick draw attack but noticed she was waiting for him to attack. Sighing lightly he started to take small slow steps side ways so that he could walk in a spiraling motion as he got closer to her. Thinking carefully on what his plan would be he tried his best to observe his surroundings and any tiny movement.

Ninotchka observed the situation she was in, it was rather obvious what Zack was planning to do. Looking at the blades sheath, estimating the length and looking at his distance and arm length, Ninotchka decided he'd most likely not get a good hit even if she stood still. Knowing that Ninatchka watched him for a second or two, observing his posture and waited until he was behind her before ducking down and sweeping out with her leg, not waiting before rolling to her left and toward the wall.

Watching carefully Zack managed to jump over her foot. he drew his sword and swung at her but she managed to roll out of the way. Zack laughed softly as he turned into a puddle, he now move slightly faster then his sprinting speed. He circled around her and occasionally sent a blade of ice at her in attempts to make her lose her footing.

Ninotchka's sharp eyes caught each and everyone of Zack's movements, her ears caught light laughter and deep in the pit of her cold and blackened heart, small anger stirred. It was a horrid emotion she'd learned so quickly from an old student. Not bothering to side-step the attacks, not caring how badly damaged her body ended up, Ninotchka simply stood with a look somewhere between amazement and horror, understanding and confusion, and happiness and anger. All warping her face into its normally bland mask. In the same place where thin anger was beginning, a sort of calm began as well. Ninotchka waited for Zack to move, she waited for the memories to pass, she waited for the pain in her chest to stop and she knew what to do then.
Leaping forward, with such speed and prowess and grace as a lioness pounces upon prey, Ninotchka battered the water with her boots. Hoping to hurt, knowing she'd learn.

feeling her feet stomping on him he started to freeze her feet to the ground. Once he was ice, the ice slowly made its way up her ankle and then up her legs. He intensified how cold he was in an attempt to make her as cold as possible.
((Damn I am getting some serious writers block here))

Ninotchka blocked everything, other then her opponent, out of her head- Just the way she'd been trained. The ice of her leg cracked, and, thinking quickly -or rather- not thinking at all Ninotchka crouched as best she could, and jumped. It wasn't much of a jump but she still managed to get beyond the boys reach. Looking at the shards still frozen to her uniform, she decided it was time to turn up the heat. Not bothering to use her own power, Ninotchka began to heat the ice up in her hand- First casting a powerful barrier spell, to keep the ice in her hand, then a low level fire spell. Her breathing was normal through much of it, though she felt her legs beginning to twang with small pain as she regained little feeling.
