 Sun Hunter
SHADOW RUN
The Shadow Run is both the simplest and most dangerous training course that can be run without a golem. A flurry of continuous attacks is what the Sun Division holds in highest respect, and the course reflects that. The course itself is a simple tunnel, reached via portal. Within the tunnel await hundreds of weak, hungry shadowlings. Nothing to worry about on their own, but capable of overwhelming a Hunter through sheer numbers at the first moment of weakness. At the other end of the tunnel is another portal, leading back to the course observation booth.
If you fail: your character is KO'd, but there's always a senior hunter in the observation booth with enhanced bandages at the ready. They should reach you in time. Really. Trained and trusty professionals on-hand 24/7.
If you win: peen points and bragging rights to those who take out the greatest number of shadowlings and go the most turns without needing to attempt a recovery maneuver.
Mechanics
You must get through 5 waves of attacks to make it through the tunnel.
Simply roll for attack as you would in battle.
If you miss, your character falters in their attacking and is overwhelmed by shadowlings.
After 3 successful hits, you may use your weapon's charge attack.
Bonus Mechanics
This bonus is consumable.
The bonus in this course is in the form of "recoveries" ~ these are would-be missed attacks that are quickly recovered and turned into a successful hit. Basically, they can miss once and roll again for an extra try. If you keep consecutively missing, though, and run out of recoveries, it's lights out. These do not equal an automatic pass for a round, you still have to land a successful hit to proceed.
Trainees: 0 recovery
Sun Trainees: 1 recovery
Hunters: 1 recovery
Sun Hunters: 2 recoveries

Originally Chris returned to the training areas to try his hand at the Moon training again. However, the closer he got, the more he realized it would be boring to do the same training he'd already passed - with flying colors, mind you.
So he slowed as he came closer, and then turned toward the Sun course. Part of it was curiosity about what was expected of Chel, and the other part of it was just the need to know the other divisions and how they operated.
He stood at the end of the tunnel and readied himself with his weapon. Bring it on.
Except, don't, because as soon as the shadowlings came after him he was overwhelmed. Status Wave: 1 (FAIL) Attack Dmg: Miss Total Shadowlings taken out: 0 Recoveries left: -

Now that he knew what the ******** was going to happen, he was ready.
Seriously. He had this.
Hopefully.
He started the training again and as the shadows attacked he managed to take a fair number of them out this time. Way better that what he'd done last time.Status Wave: 1 Attack Dmg: 6 Total Shadowlings taken out: 6 Recoveries left: -

"Hell yeah." He got into a groove, ducking and swiping out at the shadows fluidly. That first round must have just been a fluke, because this wasn't as bad as he had thought.

Just as he was doing exactly the opposite of Ava's warning, he started to get overwhelmed. There were too many, and he couldn't see past them all. It was like they were just one black mass of shadow.

Chris gritted his teeth. He was going to make it through, and he wasn't going to go home until he did. He slashed vigorously at the first wave of shadows, making angry noises at them.Status Wave: 1 Attack Dmg: 9 Total Shadowlings taken out: 9 Recoveries left: -

<Get up. Try it again.>
"Yes mom," Chris said aloud, making a face. He could practically hear the distaste from Ava at the jab, but she didn't say anything, just let him beat s**t up grumpily.

He slammed his weapon into half a dozen more shadows savagely, and with those few shadows a path cleared. He lurched for it and collapsed through the portal onto the other side.
He lay there for a moment, eyes closed and panting, before shaking his head and laughing. That'd been a bit tougher for him than the Moon training, so it was nice to know he'd ended up in the right place. He could see why his cousin fit in with the other Suns, though. That was definitely her kind of action.Status Wave: 5 Attack Dmg: 5 Total Shadowlings taken out: 26 Recoveries left: -
