Set at the edge of the docks in the Village of Artisans, the Armistead Barracks is a purveyor of food, rest, and martial education. The building is lain out in a tiered setup. Right at the entrance there is a man named Ichiro who collects weapons as they are not allowed inside the building. Right next to him is the manager for the facility, Rentaru. For those who wish to rent a room, He's the man to speak to. The rooms are all along the upper floor which overlooks the lower floor with a balcony. Each room is setup just like every other. Inside is a standing cabinet, a nightstand, a king sized bed, a window to the outside to let in fresh air and light, and finally a hanging three candle chandelier. On the lower floor there are two sets of four tables set around a fireplace to provide warmth. Directly behind these tables is the kitchen. On the other side of the door is where all the food magic happens. The head chef, Masanari, and the sous chef Akatsuki create each and every single dish by hand and with skill and love. Both tables are waited on by a young lady named Tatsuya who also serves as the bartender. Back on the main floor, if one were to follow the railing all the way around they would come to a door which leads to the dojo. The dojo, while newly repaired and cleanly polished, is still closed off for Lady Tsuki's personal use. Though exceptions can be made~
Upon her return to the grand village of artisans. The young noblewoman Tsukina Uchiha decided to purchase the property and now runs the facility as its manager. With repairs finished and the doors open. Its time to see if the young woman's ventures into the business world will be successful.

Entering into the Barracks, Wulfram looked around with some slight astonishment. Pocketing the key to the doorway he sighed and saw the state of the tavern hall. It was covered in filth and definitely needed a cleanup. Dust had set well in the hall since it's last occupant or the burning of the west wing. At least care had been made to keep the building from being rifled through or squatted within. Dragging a few of the broken tables out to the courtyard he tossed them into a pile outside in the cindered courtyard. An hour spent doing such and the man smirked, hard work was its own reward, after all. Returning to the building interior, he would go to the upper floors to check the status of the rooms.
While initially the rooms weren't large, or too well fitted, they each came with a comfortable bed, and the cobwebs seemed to set in less here. Thankfully moths hadn't deigned to devour the bedding. Sitting upon one mattress, the Knight Errant sighed.
"This place is going to need a lot of work, but I can easily get a fair bit of this done myself." He said with a nod, then turning back to head out of the building and inspect the far wall on the exterior.
"Going to need to build stables." He said, then looking over to Cervantes, who meandered about with a small selection of gear flung over his saddlebags.
"Come now, good friend. Let's go see if we can meet the local woodworker. Perhaps I can get some tools from him to build this mess up myself." The happy-go-lucky Knight murmured as he took the horse's reigns and lead him elsewhere.
Bunji made his way into the nicely decorated establishment. It was a fine place, warm and cozy it seemed. It gave a sense of welcoming and longing for any weary traveler that may have missed the embrace of home. Looking around he didn't see many people, though as he perused the area his eyes lay just out through a window of this fine building. The yard outside was perfect for training; maybe here he wouldn't be yelled at for using people as training dumies. Making his way through the place he exited out the side door and into the vast yard. It was grand as the roaring of the water could be heard just to the side. Now as he stood there his hand came down gripping at his swords hilt. Pulling it out he was ready.
Holding his weapon with two hands to begin with he picture a person standing before him. Almost a mirror image if you would. He then proceeded to take a few practice swings as he mirrored the motion in his mind. It was then that in a split second he turned taking a quick pivot to the side and thrusted his arms forward. His katana sliced through the air like it was nothing.
[Axle of Rain - Learned]
Bunji contnued to swing his katana around trying to get a feel for it. The only time he had actually used it was against those people in the Factory Plant. An then he didn't even do anything great. Well at least he saved that guy. A small shrug came from him as he focused parts of his chakra around the blade. His hand came rising up from the ground as a burst of chakra was released from the blade.
[Rolling Rain - Learned]
A small smile appeared along his face, seemed he was having fun. His body then turned taking the hilt in both hands while he stood there. His chakra focused itself around the blade again before the sword came crashing downward. A small burst of mist came up flying around the air. It was at this point that Bunji's mist vision stirred itself from hiding.
[Misting Rain - Learned] [Stage One - Completed]
Bunji waited for the mist to clear itself from the practice yard. This took a few minutes so he took a break. Looking around though his hands gripped the blade that he was using. Swinging it around a few times he lost his gripping for a moment and the blade dropped to the ground. He was quick to bend down and pick it up. Even going as far to clean it. Then he got an idea. Standing still holding the blade he dropped it once more, this time his foot slung forward catching the bottom of the hilt and sending it flying forward until it stopped in a tree.
[Last Minute Rain - Learned]
Now as he walked to get his blade Bunji made a clone. It stared at him as he retrieved his weapon to turn and face it. "Now attack..." He spoke to his clone. It nodded to him as Bunji began to watch its chest rise and fall. He began to match the breathing that it was doing to his own. He watched for any irregularities within his breathing before making his own movement. When the clone moved forward looking to strike Bunji quickly darted to the side. This evasion was worked on the reaction of the Clone and the breathes that it had taken. Bunji was now impresssed.
[May Wind, October Rain - Learned] [Stage Two - Complete]
Bunji thn began to spar some with the clone he had created. They went back and forth before Bunji began to try things. Different spins and rotations in his assault. Suddenly his right hand shifted upwards and began to bring the sword down near the clone. A sudden drop came like from before his left hand snatching up the sword and swinging it right back up in the opposite direction.
[Summer Rain - Learned]
Now as the Clone prepared an attack. Bunji thought of an idea. He remembered how the burst of chakra came forth when he focused it into a slash. He figure maybe he could stop this one. Taking the blade and flipping it over so that it ran paralle to his forearm he waited for the clone to attack. It came down with a downward slash at which time Bunji rotated and spun his weapon creating a semi-shield of sorts.
[Splashing Rain - Learned]
Seeing as these techniques used lot of chakra burst Bunji thought it would be a good idea to learn to control his chakra a little bit better. Stopping the clone he made it disappear before resting in the middle of the training yard. He pushed his chakra around his body, making small burst come from his arms and body. An then going even further he pushed it out of his hands, and the finger tips. This continued for several minutes as Bunji gained a better understanding of his own chakra.
[Blessed Rain - Learned] +35 to Chakra Pool [Stage Three Complete]
Thinking of how he could use this chakra he wondered if he could extend his speed to that greater than the human eye could follow. His wondering caused his to release and estend his chakra down into his feet. Soon he could feel his body tense up. An then he shot forward while moving. A mist like cloud of chakra follow behind him, obscuring the vision of others if there was anyone to be present to see him. His body began to meld with his speed causing him to move at an incredible rate. but surely enough he began to slow down, coming to a stop he stared a small smirk along his lips now.
[Innocent Rain - Learned]
His interest was peeked even further wondering if this could be used with a strike. He turned looking at one of the training dummies. A slight shake of the head came. He was a guest here so he thought not to destory the dummies, instead he called forth a clone. Looking at the clone Bunji's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched it move. Trying to encircle Bunji the clone ran around him. It was then in a quick flash his body moved forward thrusting his blade forward in a flash of fire as it stuck into the stomach of the clone. It poofed quickly and bunji called another to the training area.
[Fiendish Speed Rain - Learned]
Standing in the area Bunji now began to focus around the area. His sense of direction was getting a little intense. An his sense of his surroundings seemed to grow as he began to focus. The new clone just stood there and helped push his chakra outward. His reading came to him, feeling the presence of those around him, not one of which had any since of killing or harmful intent. This was good as Bunji wasn't quite in the mood to deal with something of that nature. His mind only rested along the chakra that he poured out into the open area, his mind now coming to rest.
[Insight Rain - Learned] [Stage Four Complete]
Standing away from the clone now Bunji just readied himself. He ordered the clone to not hold back as they agreed. Taking in a deep breath Bunji gripped his hilt tightly. And then the clone shot forward. As the clone moved so did Bunji they came at each other lightning fast. Before their blades met though Bunji stopped over a few feet before the clone. His hands took the blade and spun it around his body, making a wide arcing swing that came and cut across the abdomen of the clone. It disappeared in a puff of smoke before Bunji called another clone to do battle with himself. They continued this strike over and over, getting the clone each time as he did so. The last time he readied his blade the clone copied bunji. They lunged forward running towards one another, this time the tips of each blade collided and a clattering noise echoed throughout the area. Bunji shook his head but smirked at the clone before readied himself once more. They ran after one another and sliced again, this time Bunji caught the clone as it disappeared. Once more he called another.
[Pelting Rain - Learned]
Looking at the new clone he smirked wondering what he could do next. His chakra controled was getting very good. The way his blade moved through the air it was like a hot knife through butter. An the relfectived quailites that it took one Bunji wanted to use in his arsenal. So moving over towards the tree the clone just watched as Bunji now focused. His chakra began to flow along the blade. Coating it in his chakra as a faint orange glow came off the edge of the blade. Then after the coating, Bunji moved fast. Swinging the blade once nothing, so he tried again. The blade came rising up as the shimmer from the blade gave off a faint lighting. The way the reflection of his sword came off that swing a burst of chakra followed faintly behind it. Causing a pilliar light substance to be left in the air. This 'mirror' light object showed Bunji as if he were standing right in front of himself. A perfect match, almost like a clone but in a two deminsional sense.
[Torrential Dance - Learned]
Once more Bunji instructed his clone to come at him. An once again it prepared an attack. As it did so Bunji began to coat his blade in his own chakra once more. Trying to figure out a way that he could counter a ninjutsu technique with his sword style. He waited for the clone to attack; an then it came at him. First a barrage of swings as Bunji continued to hold to his chakra build up. His body dodging back and forth as the clone took wild swings. Bunji managed to take a step back far enough away so that he could ready himself. It was then that the clone let loose a suiton technique at Bunji. He was quick to then thrust and swing his blade. This created a twister of sorts. It collided in to the suiton technique and began to build up speed. But this time it went in the opposite direction. Bunji grinned watching as the clone dodged jumping out of the way while the attack dissipated.
[Flame Spin Rain - Learned] [Stage Five Complete]
Having took a small break Bunji as his clone stood up dusting themselves off. Looking towards the clone he wondered if he could make that reflection larger. His mind raced trying to think if he slashed several different times if he could do it, but that just seemed ridiculous in some extents. Thinking to himself he wondered if upping his amount of chakra focus would be good enough. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try. So as he instructed his clone to wait for him to attempt this technique he began to focus. His chakra began to resonate around his body slowly flowing outward like a large gas. but it was soon stopped and if one could see his chakra it began to flow back down and back into Bunji as he focused it into both arms at first. Then as the chakra control became greater the flow of his chakra went from his arms down into his hands. This caused the flow of his chakra to be pin pointed solely in his hands. That of which began to flow immensely into his weapon. The blade of his katana once more took on a orange hue against its edge. As he readied himself he held the control longer than normal waiting to see if he could get this in one try. Bunji was quick with his release. The blade of his katana swing wildly as he arced it in front of himself. But even as the shimmer chakra came off his blade the desired effect was not granted. Saddened by this outcome his drive grew more and more. So with each passing minute he began to charge and focus his chakre back down from his chest. And into his arms, and thenn back down from his arms into his hands. Then finally back into the blade, this time pushing more and more chakra into the weapon as he readied for the strike. he then swung it downward quickly. The reflection pillar was cast once more, except the range of it was large making it seem as if there were multiple Bunji's standing around the area. His eyes wide now he just stared looking at the outcome of this training technique.
[Duplicate Rain - Learned]
Bunji now stood there thinking that he could do better in terms of defense for his techniques. So as he stood there his clone disappeared, it seemed like he was no longer needed. Within the brief period of time Bunji recounted the flow and burst of his own Chakra. He wondered if he could recreated such a effect around himself for protection. This technique would most definitely be immense in its structure. But how would he go about doing it. Maybe he could make several swings making the large shimmer reflection that he had acquired knowledge of within the last couple of moments. Though such a feat seemed almost too far gone for one such as himself. Was he dreaming of such a technique, or did its presence just escape him. No, he was sure that several iterations of that reflection could do the trick. So as he stood in a statue like state he began to focus his chakra, this time a little more quickly as he did so. Bunji could tell from that last technique his control was impeccable. He felt as if he could make it spring from just about anywhere he wanted. His blade was now coated in his chakra quickly he began to swing upwards, first starting near the bottom of the ground. But as he did so nothing was happening. The reflection didn't have an anchor to hold itself stable with. So what was he gonna do, well try everything of course. He tried vertical slashes, horizontal, diagonal and ever which way you could think of. Though no such luck getting it to stay. What was he doing wrong? Stabbing his blade into the ground the reflection shot up and raised itself as a pillar before him. Quickly he turned stabbing the tip of his katana into the ground doing so locked the barriers between one another as they locked and formed over his head. Curving at the top Bunji smirked looking at the sphere shaped barrier before him, this was grand. Waiting now the barrier finally fell, though he felt himself a little sluggish. Even if he had just praised himself about the control within his head. Time to settle that.

"It's Kind of Scary..."
Standing there he thought to himself how could this be. He needed to get more in tune with his chakra and yet it felt as if he hadn't gotten anywhere. What could be holding him back? He wasn't sure but he knew he needed to train more, and at a more intensive pace. His eyes shut and his breathing began slowly; taking in deep breathes for the first few minutes he was going to go back to the basics. He was going to push his body to the brink to the point where he almost wouldn't be able to walk afterwards. So as he stood there his eyes opened and he began to resonate his chakra throughout his own veins, muscles, bones if that was even possible. The stoic features of his facial expressions rendered him silent as his flux of chakra began it's descent throughout his body. Bunji first drew his chakra up and within the middle of his abdomen. The flow and course nature that was his chakra held tightly in his chest, churning within him as he moved it, rolling it around within a sphere shape from within. Slowly he stopped the rotation and began to force the chakra to stretch, he pulled it from the inside still keeping the sphere shape in his mid-section. But now if someone could see inside him, his chakra was being pulled at specific points. Tugging and stretching throughout his body, going along and into the lengths of his arms and legs while he continued to hold his chakra. Then he finally released the sphere as it began to flow naturally.
Standing there he decided to practice some swings with his weapon, to get a better feel for it. This would help his extension through his weapon and arms. His practice strikes were firm but slow, making sure to get a hold of the strike technique. His eyes focused forward and eventually he began to introduce small burst of chakra. This all happened slowly, but quickly the pace at which each burst came quicker and quicker. Bunji felt each expulsion as he released his energy into the air. Every time he swung down he pushed out his chakra from a different portion of his body. First was through his hands, next it came out from his arms. An as he began to move around swinging the katana in horizontal and diagonal fashion he pushed chakra from his feet and legs. This all was helping him control his chakra. Burst after burst came as he moved turning and shooting out small echos of chakra. His sword even got a few shots out. Slicing through the air Bunji stopped for a moment before taking his chakra deep within his body and then expelling it outward in a instant. He felt the resonating of his chakra flowing from his body, almost as if he could stretch it further than before. Once more he stood still, almost like that of a statue. Expressionless visage laid over him while he stood there. The chakra within him began to churn and turn, swirling within his abdomen as he compressed it into a sphere once more. This time it was more constant, and he held the shape longer than before. Again he left out the simple burst again and again shooting out of his hands. Then he changed it up, it came from his legs and even more so difficult he expelled it out of his hand, and out of his foot at the same time. Changing it up where each burst came from his eyes widened. He could feel the control getting far more complex. The way he could mold and form his chakra, almost at a moments notice he could use his chakra now. Shooting it out of his extension in the form of a katana. Yes this was good, he could do more with this given the time. Bunji now finally expelled his chakra once more, pushing his limit as far as he could go. Almost using all of his chakra he fell down grasping at the grass as he breathed heavily. Hi training was over now, he could truly feel that he had began to master his charka.

"It's Kind of Scary..."
Having laid on the ground for far long enough. Bunji decided that now would be a perfect time to go explore. His body ached that was for sure and his mind was somewhat weary but he pulled it together. Brushing himself off he turned and slowly stared at the apprentice that was there in the yard with him. It was a weird and awkward moment as the two locked eyes for the briefest of moments. "Tell your Boss I give my thanks for allowing the use of his yard." Bunji spoke up. An with that he turned and headed out of the area. Onward towards the gate, there was things to be hard.
"...How Much People Trust Me"
Location: Giman Jutsu Used: --- Profile:[Here] Chakra: 715 Stamina: 430 Out Of Character:
Returning to the Barracks atop after dropping off the cart that had been graciously borrowed for the large delivery of materials, Wulfram, astride Cervantes smirked and patted his partner upon the flank.
"Come now, my partner, let's get a few laps in around the building shall we. A good spot of excercise for old time's sake." Wulfram chuckled as his partner neighed in response. [ 1/8 C-Rank Animal Training ]
Gripping the reigns tightly, Wulfram met the force as Cervantes bucked into a decent trot, then into a breakneck gallop. The young Knight, exhilerated at his pet's veracity, the habitual truth of their bond. Taking the first corner around the building with a charging point, Wulfram whooped as Cervantes shifted in a quick motion and took along the length of the building. [ 2/8 ]
Cervantes let out a sharp call as he shifted the pair in front of a gateway that had been left open. Chuckling as he saw the horse's plan, Wulfram snapped the reigns for his partner to go faster. Amber eyes set on the incoming porch cover. When Cervantes jumped it would put Wulfram smack into the middle of it if he didn't act accordingly. Shifting his feet up onto the saddle, the rider chuckled and leapt just as the horse had. Keeping time with his horse's gallop beneath the covering, Wulfram leapt once more on the opposite side, landing back into the saddle. [ 3/8 ]
"Sly old thing, you. Thinking you're going to buck me off so easily after years of your tomfoolery. C'mon, hyah! Let's see what you've got, you little filly!" Wulfram called out, taunting his partner into renewed vigor and actions.
The bait would work, however, and Cervantes lowered his head. Lowering his own head to prevent the sheer wind from ripping him out of the saddle, Wulfram laughed to his partner. [ 4/8 ]
Diving around the second corner, Wulfram and Cervantes moved in unison with each other, Wulfram hugging close to, but adjusting his hips in time with the powerful cleaving footfalls of Cervantes beneath him. Cervantes, in turn, would move his head in time with the motions of his partner, acting as a metronome to the other. The shorter side of the Barracks was traversed in nothing more than a few short footfalls. [ 5/8 ]
"Alright, I admit, you're a fine stallion, Cervanted zu Pferd! No other horse upon this mortal plane could keep up with the rigours of a brother like myself!" The rider called out to his steed as he gripped the reigns tight in one hand and drew his blade with the other.
Seeing the flash of steel, Cervantes took to greater speed, cutting across the third corner and through the courtyard of the Barracks. [ 6/8 ]
Crossing the centre line of the courtyard, the pair darted past one of the training dummies in the yard and with a practiced hand Wulfram made a striking blow as they shifted past. The blow sundered the arm of the target, but it remained standing. Cervantes continued his gallop, going wide to make a return charge towards the target. As he felt his partner aligning for the second pass, Wulfram dug his heels in to steer the Stallion as they cut across once more. The next slice of the blade would cleave the head of the target, and Wulfram whooped as the wood beneath the straw core splintered and fell to the ground. [ 7/8 ]
Slowing to a trot, incrementally, Cervantes would lead around back to the courtyard, allowing his partner to sheathe his blade and dismount. As he did so, Wulfram made his way before the large horse and put his hands upon his muzzle, releasing the bit from his mouth and removing the piece of the harness that settled over the horse's face.
"We'll have to get a better riding gear for you. You're not like the other horses in the city guard back home, you don't need tight mouth tugs to keep you going or steer you, you're of one mind, of one blood, you and I." He spoke to his partner before he went to the well to retrieve a few buckets of water to fill the trough for the horse. [ 8/8 Partner Training, C-Rank completed ]
"I hate that the day went by so fast, I wanted to get your stables built today, my friend." He said, Cervantes shaking his head and neighing in retort.
"I know, I know, don't concern myself with it." He said with a soft sigh as he patted the horse and lead him towards a sheltered overhang to rest.
"I may as well get some of my own training in as well." Wulfram said sullenly as he drug on his coat of plates and fastened it thusly.
He focused on the thoughts of the Kunst de Fechens style. Schieben Sie den Vorteil, to push the advantage. To know the steps to take and the proper timing to enter into combat, to alter the course and flow of both himself and his opponent. When to strike, when to parry, and when to force and explode forward. [ 1/2 ]
Twisting and practicing the blows and trades of swords, 'to face the shadow', he would begin striking and deflecting techniques, until such a time as he thrust his left hand forward flowing against a parry. It wasn't a grand explosion, but a focused one. No flair, no drama, no show, but instead a forceful application against his opponent, to force them back and grip them with their shared momentum. To keep them bound and locked in this flow. [ 2/2 Schieben Sie den Vorteil Learned ]
Much as his practing with the first technique, the understanding of when to seize, Wulfram would begin the dance of blades, forward and back, 'to face the shadow' once more. Blows traded and swung, hits parried and thrust against. Strike, trade, defend, strike, trade, defend, wait for the opening. Normally it would come a lot faster, but when one's opponent was themselves, it allowed them to transfer and strike more often, as each movement was counted and measured. [ 1/2 ]
As he 'clashed blades' with himself and felt his own pushing and pulling, he realized where he left his own blade too far open and shifted his blade to push to the strong. As he pushed his blade forward, his right arm would shoot over his own blade, keeping pressure on the blades against each other and locking them together as he reached and snagged at the 'shirt' of his opponent. For either side to pull or push against this would only keep the blades locked together but allow Wulfram to grapple and manuver his opponent. From this situation, were he against an actual opponent he would step forward and as the blades came pinned between their bodies, he would let the sword go from his left grip and grab his opponent's chest or opposing shoulder. Being as his opponent was a mere shadow, he did not move into this step. [ 2/2 Griefen und Binden Learned ]
From a binding and gripped position, the best footing a soldier could take would be to ground his opponent. From the gripped position, the knight would force his grip over his opponent to break him to the ground, whether through a tripping motion or a twisting and winding toss and grind. The enemy must be subdued, taken to the ground, and beaten thusly. The words of his first teacher rattled through his mind as he thought of such. [ 1/3 ]
His own internal energies bound into this motion, to twist your enemy to the ground you had to do much more than just overpower them physically. One had to break them mentally and spiritually as well, to force them into submission, to berate and break them. Force was only ever half of the equation in the teachings of Kunst de Fechens, and that was a teaching Wulfram knew all too well. [ 2/3 ]
Taking to kneel as he drove his 'opponent' down, Wulfram would draw his blade back, holding it at one of several points a pinned and armored opponent was weakest. His eyes set over the shadow of himself as he remembered the countless times he had been the one in this situation. A thin smile crept over his lips as he thought of the time he had been pinned by a female instructor and his palms graced her breasts. A good laugh to remember harsh times by. [ 3/3 Festzunageln Learned ]
Standing back to his feet, Wulfram dusted the dirt from his clothes and moved towards the other training dummies in the courtyard, his eyes looking over them in their various states of disrepair and breakdown. Finding one of the better ones for grappling, he sheathed his blade and approached it. Quickly his hands threw forth and wrapped over the left shoulder of the target and behind the head on the right side of it, setting the stance of a mutual grapple. [ 1/2 ]
Forcing his palms to shift, and to press against the gripping points of his opponent, Wulfram shifted the weight of his body, attempting to wrest the training dummy from the ground. For the first moment his goal seemed ever elusive, no closer to being completed, but within a few moments, that all changed. His footing dug in, and with the press of his strength and position, Wulfram pulled the base of the target upwards from the ground and flung it across the courtyard. [ 2/2 Werfen Learned ]
Oftentimes the most vital of things to remember in an armoured fight was the fact that an unarmed opponent poses the least amount of threat. To this extent it was always a requirement to disarm an opponent who pushed the advantage too far. To bind blades and toss aside that of your opponent, or to force connection in a grapple and break the blade of their grip. To toss the blade into their guard or against their hand, to force them to back into the corner, to break their will to fight, or force their tactics to change. [ 1/3 ]
Thrusting his blade forward into the guard of his opponent was the simplest way to remove a guard, aiming for their hands and arms, causing them to go slack in the wrist, then as the strong of your blade crashes into theirs, a twisting motion to force the blade free. A blow to the arm with the pommel or hilt, or even a sideways elbow could force the hand to lax from the sudden strike to the tendon. Ripping the blade away was essential, and there existed many means of doing such. [ 2/3 ]
Though, as he thought of the clench, it was replayed in his mind in his mind that oppoenents caught in the clench would be much harder to disarm, as their weapons were locked in the grapple. From this point greater force would be required and the possibility of losing your own weapon in the fray increased. Sighing as he thought the entirety of it over, Wulfram stood patted the sword at his side. [ 3/3 Entwaffnen Learned ]
Finding a bench to sit upon, Wulfram took a moment to think, to consider, and to remember, the techniques of hand to hand combats. Grappling, how to move, how to stick, and how to throw. To bind and break binds, to capture and to loose. When an opponent encricled you, you had to know to break the line. To break that which grips. [ 1/2 ]
The human body was simple as it was complex, to break grips one had only exert more force. To burst forth and shatter grips, that was the simplicity. Yet, to contort your opponent, to break their positioning, how could this be done without having to put out more force than was being used to hold you into place? This question, Wulfram pondered for a time before he came to the realization, that in or out of armor, there would be placed upon the body which when hit with even the littlest amount of force caused chain reactions of the body, fingers to flex or loosen, tendons to yank or relax. It was in these many points that one could break his opponent's grip. [ 2/2 Brechen Learned ]
Standing and stretching his legs out, Wulfram took a wide stance and began to practice at his former training. Getting his body limber and prepared for the things to come. Guiding over the stances of physical combat, hand to hand, and wide opened striking. Both with palm and fist, with elbow, with knee. Several minutes spent striking at the air before him and stretching his body out as he moved with the winds to prepare himself to train more in his armor. [ 1/1 Formless: Hard Physical Learned D-Rank ]
From this he would begin to limber and do full stretches of his lower body, letting the armor collect and move around his frame as he did so. Shifting and moving back and forth with the weight of his armor he felt his body loosening up and carrying on with more and more ease. A chuckle passing his lips as he stood and stretched for the sky, arms out towards his side, but still diagonally slanted upwards as he did so, welcoming the sun whensoever it decided it would return. [ 1/1 Formless: Hard Physical Learned C-Rank ]
Shifting his weight around and beginning to do lunges through the courtyard, he would shift and press his weight until the layers of his armor seemed to fit better and he could work around them easier. Thinking for a moment of the materials on the battlefield before him, he stopped. Picking a few of the training dummies up he would nod to himself before setting them off to the side of the building and then going into the shed he had left his earlier gained materials from and moving the more, important of these items inside. Stopping for a glass of water, he chuckled as he realized just how easy it was becoming to move to and fro in this collaboration of cloth and steel. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Acclimation Learned ]
Grabbing a large stone from the ground Wulfram hoisted the stone into the air, shifting himself as it went upwards, that he may end up beneath it. As he watched the stone tumbling back down to the ground Wulfram adjusted himself further beneath it, bracing his arms and his legs. As the stone fell closer, Wulfram clenched his legs and forced back against the stone, shattering it on impact and not shifting away from his braced position. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Endurance Contest Learned ]
Lowering his head, Wulfram charged straightforward, his body aligning for a shoulder-check tackle. Leaping off of his forward foot the knight tackled into one of the several training dummies in the courtyard and with his momentum and force tackled it to the ground. Thankfully the loose and wet soil didn't keep the post dug in as a rigid base, so the post did not shatter from the force. Standing back to his feet and wiping off his coat of plates, Wulfram would then grab the training doll and lift it back into position, then tamping the ground down with his foot. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Tackling Learned ]
While oftentimes the worrisome place of an attack would come to the body or the lower extremities, not all styles of armor, like his own for instance, were matched with helmets. For this, a simple technique existed to protect the face and the weaker joint points from incoming projectile or thrusting assaults. Facing towards one of the training dummies, Wulfram would take a look towards it before raising his arms in a crossed brace shape. In traditional armor the elbow cop would protect his armpits from frontal asault, closing the gap of his elbows to the enemy as his arms bent upwards and towards himself, and the cross of his forearms would cover his face. Coupled with a shield, this could become a full- torso protective stance. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Wall Learned ]
Breaking his arms out of the crux, he would swing them out as his body turned to the side profile and his right leg slammed down into the ground. Crushing the ground underfoot and leaning his body into the stance he would set himself against a charge or an incoming strike. This position would grant him greater strength and stability versus incoming assaults, his body prepared for more to come. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Crushing Underfoot Learned ]
Preparing for the incoming strike, the wanderer helf his stance and kept his arms cocked somewhat back, the angle shifting slowly forwards. In a moment of bursting force, however, he would emulate the beetle, his arms launching into a central point, grasping from the sides as the clenched in. Should an opponent be captured in this grapple, it would allow him to divert the force of their own strike, while binding them into his own, and throwing them into a combination derived from one of many other techniques. [ 1/1 Kishitou: Beetle Grabbing Hold Learned ]
Taking a break from the field, Wulfram would prepare to enter the Barracks to prepare himself something to eat, and perhaps bring out some treak for Cervantes as well, but as he looked off around the edge of the property, he saw another figure advancing on his property. While not distrusting of the man, outwardly, the knight seemed cautious until the apprentice at the stall spoke up.
"This gentleman was here training earlier, Mister Wulfram. He wanted me to give you thanks for the use of the yard to train." The boy said as Wulfram eyed him and gave a nod, before returning to the stall as the elder man nodded.
Walking back down to the river basin Bunji saw the building from earlier. He wondered what was going on within the building as it seemed more people were there this time. He turned his direction towards the building and made his way to the door. He stopped for just a brief moment wondering what he could do here. He needed another weapon; besides himself of course. But what could he do. Either way the young man shook his head and walked towards the establishment again, upon glancing around he found a man whom he had not seen here before. An the young apprentice from before. Bunji just gave a polite nod to the both of them before speaking. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything..." He spoke raising his brow towards the meal that was being prepared.

Eyeing the man with cautious amber eyes, Wulfram stood his ground and took thought back to the boy's words about the man using the grounds to train earlier, he then gave a small nod of the head and tilted his hat with his hand as he did so, taking it off as he made a flourish of a bow.
"Of course not, good sir, I was just preparing to make myself something to eat and perhaps get some rest for the days to come. You see, it has been a long day for me already, and to top it off I have more work to return this place to it's great glory." The Knight said with a faint smile to his lips.
"Young sir here tells me that you came by to use the ground earlier to train, I'm glad you found them satisfactory. If you've any need of me, good sir, I'll be inside preparing something to eat for myself and my horse." He said with a chuckle as he opened the door with his right hand, his left wrist hooking over the hilt of his b*****d sword.
As he entered the building he would make his way to the kitchen and begin to prepare some basic food for himself, some tomatoes with salt, cheese, bread, and a slew of carrots and greens for his equine companion.
Bunji returned the man's respectful bow as he continued to keep his eyes about him. Then the man spoke, letting him know that he hadn't interrupted anything. An that he was in the process of furnishing up the place. That really surprised Bunji to be honest, as from the looks of it the establishment was well on it's way to becoming one of the more known. Or at least in Bunji's eyes. "I did. It was nice to find an open area to spread myself out upon." Now Bunji's mind was wandering, his eyes narrowed just slightly as he watched the movements of the man. The subtle flash of the sword gave away so many ideals to assume. A playful comment this was, but it was true all the same. While the man walked towards the door Bunji settled himself down just outside the building. His words catching the man just before entry. "Need help, let me know." He spoke to the man. his legs now crossed while Wulfram entered his building. "Though do take your time...I have something that needs to be taken care of." His last statement couldn't have been heard by the man, he was already inside and more than likely preparing his meal. Bunji's words were muffled by his head lowering down as he stared at the dirt, watching as small insects crawled along the ground. He did have something he needed to take care of first.
Thinking on the brief past Bunji sighed and closed his eyes. His mind wasn't at ease like he thought it would be. Slowly he uncrossed his legs and stood up his body turning towards the door as he made his way into the building. "If you do need some help I will be out back." He spoke mentioning the yard that he had used once before. Time to get a little more training in.

"It's Kind of Scary..."
Thinking though, there was this itch that he wanted to scratch. He felt that he needed to take care of it right away. Something was bothering him, something unlike before. maybe it was a bit of a power trip. but how dare Donnie disrespect him like that? He thought he was a polite gentleman. What had Bunji done that was so wrong, so what he read someone's thoughts? Was it really that big of a deal? Bunji's mind wandered before coming to a decision. He turned around walking by a couple of people before speaking out to the man he had just met. "I'll be back later, to assist you if you need it. I do need to take care of something." He sighed and then left the area.

"...How Much People Trust Me"
Location: Takumi Jutsu Used: --- Profile:[Here] Chakra: 715 Stamina: 430 Out Of Character:
Reaching the docks, Shika looked around as he walked, searching for this barracks Wulfram had mentioned, it was then that he noticed a strangely build building.. made of stone unlike the others around, and figured that was likely it. Passing into the open courtyard, he spotted the training spaces and smiled slightly before continuing inside. The boy looked around a little, noticing Wulfram in the kitchen cook, but not wanting to bother him. He then found the library with books and pamphlets on weapons and martial styles and looked over a few before deciding on three he wanted to learn, pouring over them in an effort to memorize the pictures and explanations before going out to train. He also needed to start learning the techniques of his clan, his eyes watering slightly along with a pang of anger rising as he thought of his long killed family back in Earth country and the shinobi that made him an orphan. Once he had memorized everything as best he could, the young man went back out into the training courtyard, seeing another young man there as well and giving him a quick nod before he pulled the clan scroll he had from his bag and began reading it quickly. It was late in the afternoon and the shadows in the area were lengthening.. a great time for a Nara.
First was the most simple technique in his clan’s arsenal… Shikageru would send his chakra out to his shadow and draw it in and up to his arms. The shadow would rise and form around his arms and hands like gloves. From there, he would throw a couple punches, reaching out with his shadow gloves when he did and bending them at angles to test them, as if trying to chase a retreating enemy in a fight. After a couple minutes of shadow boxing (OOC: oh yea, I went there, lol) he let his shadows relax back to normal and continued on to the next jutsu. 1/1 Far Reaching Darkness Learned
The next one Shika would work on was basically an advanced form of transformation jutsu. He’d gather his shadows up around him and cover his face with them as he thought how he would shape them. Finally coming up with something, the shadows would morph into the visage of a horrifying Oni with large curled horns reaching back over his head and tusks jutting from the mouth. Shikageru would feel around on his new “face” and smirk when he felt the features he’d thought of before removing the shadows and returning to normal. 1/1 Shadow Trick Learned
Nexhe young Nara would once again draw his shadows up to his right hand, shaping them into a large dagger or short sword as he walked over to an unused training post. Once the shadow weapon was finished forming, the kid would swing it at the post, seeing it cut into the wood to an extent, but not all that well. As he took a few more cuts at the wooden post, he’d think about how he could combine this weapon with his normal dagger in combat, and how he could use it to sneak his clan jutsu into close range fights, if they were to happen. 1/1 Shadow Blade Learned
Jumping back from the wooden post, Shika moved on quickly to the next technique. This one was essentially a wave of shadow that could cut through basically whatever it hit. Reaching down towards his shadow, the boy touched it and flicked his arm towards the post, seeing the shadow rise up to be slightly taller than he was and rush forward at the post. When the shadow ran out, the wave crashed into the pillar, slicing through it to take a chunk off the top of it. Shika would chuckle a bit to himself, thinking of how he could use it and what it could do to a human target. 1/1 Wave of the Crescent Moon Learned
Next Shikageru decided to train his clan’s most famous technique, the shadow imitation. Standing still, the young Nara formed the handseal he saw in the scroll and watched as his shadow seemed to come to life for a moment as he stretched it towards the shadow of a bird he saw flying. Intercepting its path, he connected his shadow to the bird’s and smirked as the bird froze in the air and started to fall. After a couple seconds, he released the poor creature so it wouldn’t fall to the ground. 1/1 Shadow Imitation Learned
Next was sort of a continuation or variation of the shadow imitation, with more of an offensive bent. Shika would stretch his shadow to meet the one of the wooden post he’d been hacking away at to get the connection like shadow imitation. Then he shifted his handsign and suddenly the shadow seemed solidify slightly as arms of shadow rose from it, grabbing at the post trying to strangle it. Once he was satisfied that he had the forms correct, Shika released his handseal and the shadow retreated back to him. 1/1 Shadow Neck Binding Learned
Next was another variation of shadow imitation, Shika would draw his dagger and start concentrating his chakra into it. Looking around, he’d look for something he could test this jutsu on, finally spotting a seagull that had landed near him. Turning quickly before it could fly off, he threw his dagger at the shadow of the bird, striking the shadow and the knife sticking in the ground through the shadow. 1/2
Scared by the flying dagger, the bird squawked and tried to fly, getting its wings spread just as the dagger his and pined its shadow. The poor bird would try to flap its wings, but find that it couldn’t move. As it panicked, Shika kind of felt bad for it, so quickly walked over and pulled the dagger from the shadow, letting the bird free. 2/2 Shadow Imitation Shuriken Learned
His next clan jutsu to learn was somewhat similar to the shadow imitation, but was a bit more offensive, This one was known as Shadow Sewing, and as Shika scanned over the scroll he had again and saw how the technique worked as a way to spear and literally sew an enemy to a wall or just pin them in place. It could also work as a more violent way to get a shadow imitation to make contact. 1/2
Finally feeling ready to give it a try, Shika would begin to concentrate and form the handsigns related to this jutsu as he stared at the wooden training post again. Once he finished the handsigns, he held the last one and watched as his shadow and the ones nearby grew darker and shot up, splitting into dozens of needles and skewering the post left and right, threading shadows through it. Shika would smirk to himself as he thought about the Iwa-nin that killed his family being run through dozens of times , unable to move. 2/2 Shadow Sewing Learned
Keeping the post sewn to the ground, Shikageru remembered a lower ranked jutsu he had skipped earlier that required knowledge of the shadow sewing jutsu. It was one that let you move around objects that had been sewn by your shadows. Looking at the post run through many times by threads of shadow, Shika shifted his handsign slightly and watched the shadows change a little, seeming to almost rab hold of the thing better. Thinking of pushing the post backwards, Shika would move his handsign towards it, and smiled as the large post shifted in its place back a few inches, he’d then pull it back to its original spot and release the jutsu, sighing as the shadows around him went back to normal, then walked over o the post and sat down, leaning against it for a nap. 1/1 Black Spider Lily Learned
Exiting the barracks, Wulfram brought some greens and carrots over to Cervantes, before setting a platter before the young man at the armoring booth. He gave the young man a smile and ruffled his hair, before walking over to the shed and drawing out his woodworking tools and dragging them out to the yard, by the burnt section at the side of the building, the soon to be Stables for Cervantes and any other traveller's companions.
Setting the wood onto a workbench he would take to measuring the wood out to length , aiming at there being six inches slack on either edge, judged from where the holes from the old timbers sat and the roofing pattern that matched up to the stone wall of the barracks proper. Once he had measured the marks and set them in scratched on coal, Wulfram would retrieve one of his saws and begin to make the proper cuts to place. Sawing the first timber to a total length of twelve feet, this would leave the standing clearance from ground to awning at ten feet, for anyone passing into the stables. [ 1/5 ]
Setting his saw back amidst the workbench and materials, the Knight drew out a plane and slowly began to make passes at the top side of the timber, checking it several times, before flipping the timber and checking the sudes for square. While one side was already squared to the first, within a single degree of difference, the second was a few off, and required shaving. Grabbing the shaver, Wulfram quickly set to work, making several passes, checking each section as he went along to make sure it squared with the end he had flattened. [ 2/ 5 ]
Looking over across the yard, he saw a young man in the training yard, napping against the signpost. He looked physically exhausted, and the thoughts to his past made the Knight-Errant smile as he set back into work, then looking up again to see another figure approaching.
Walking through the busy streets Bunji finally found himself walking along side the waters edge. Doing so it was peaceful, something he wished Giman was right now. People did weird things for peace, and some could even call them crazy. But that business was behind him for now, his attention was focused on the man within the yard. To the young mans delight Wulfram was working with wood. Which intrigued him considering Bunji had been known to work within the walls of the Silver Forge, helping with the smithing. He stopped a few feet from the man and bowed politely once again. "Told you I'd be back." He spoke looking at a couple of the boards that the man had drugged out.
Bunji reached down grabbing one of the boards before taking his eye to it. He held it out along the ground on one end, while his eyes rested near the end of the other. Making sure the board had not, or wasn't already bowed Bunji then turned the board around. Mimicing the same checking that Wulfram had done as Bunji walked up. "Any more tools?" He asked and waited for the response. Walking over to the small work bench that Wulfram had Bunji eyed some tools that were familiar and took them over to the spot he was at in the yard. Sitting himself down upon the grass he began to lightly shave the board himself. Making sure that the ends of each board were squared and matched. "So..." He then broke the subtle silence of their work. "Could you make me two knives made from chakra steel?" Bunji then proceeded to go into more detail. "I need it to all be one piece though, with holes within the handle so I can grip them easily. I need the edge of the blade to not only extend from the blade, but along the holding position of the front of the handle." He paused looking up at Wulfram making sure he got all of this. Hell he just continued talking not even sure if the man could make them for him. "I need there to be four sharpen points along the handle, almost like brass knuckles, but a razors edge. The entire length of each blade, could you make it nine inches long?" He asked, now waiting for the man to respond. Bunji now looked back to the wooden beam he had taken from the pile the man was working on. His eyes lined it up as his hand came down, running his finger tips along the grain. It was smooth and the edges were almost perfect due to the shaving. Well, if there was anything else that needed to be done, Bunji would gladly help.

Listening to the man as he came up and began to assist Wulfram with the long and arduous task of woodwork, the Knight smirked and nodded, listening to his initial comment about returning. As the man asked on the location of some more tools, Wulfram pointed them out to him and continued working the opposite end of the same timber, before measuring and squaring it out once more. Between the pair of them they had managed to square out one timber of six, and in rather decent time, no less. It seemed this man knew his way around woodwork. [ 3/3 Actual Smithing! I Completed ]
"Undoubtedly I could, I'd ultimately pass the commission along to The Forge, but I'd end up crafting the Trench Knife either way it goes. Not had a lot of call for something like that in these parts, the folks here seem to like their, what do they call them, Katana and Wakizashi? Good blades by any standard, but, they're not versatile at all." Wulfram chuckled, then dragging the timber over to the hole in which it would be settled and raising it with strong arms and setting it down into the hole.
Dragging up the next timber, he drug the framing square along the sides and corners of the timber. It had already been worked down to square, it seemed, with only a few notches and rises that needed shaved down. Drawing the long lines across the timber, he would mark the places they needed to cut and hand Bunji one of the saws to cut one end of the timbers, before himself stepping down to the other. [ 1/3 ]
"I appreciate the help, trying to get these stables built, it'll make the companions and pets of travelers safer while they're staying here. I think after this I might take up a bit of farming on the field next to the barracks, grow our own garden of crops for the kitchen." Wulfram spoke next as he drug the shaver down the length of the cut board once he had finished the shaving, checking it for even levels once more. [ 2/3 ]
Picking out the barracks wasn't hard for her, it stuck out among the other buildings. Zorja looked around it slowly, taking in the building in it's entirety. For someone who just showed up out of no where, it seemed that this Wulfram was doing well for himself. Sounds of tinkering reached her ears, someone working with wood, and voices. If neither of the voices were the man she was looking for, maybe she could ask them where to find him. She worked her way around the building to the courtyard, and then followed the voices in till she was brought to their origin. One of them was indeed the man who fit the description of Wukfram Armistead; the other one she did not know nor had heard of.
Zorja made her way over to Wulfram and gave the man a deep bow, closing her eyes as she did so before straightening herself to speak. "Forgive me for assuming, but I take it you're Sir Wulfram Armistead? I am Zorja Raiygo, from the Raigyo Lotus merchants in the Land of Tea. I know that name might not mean anything for you, but I want to be fully transparent here. I wish to partner with you; I heard word of your establishment and it's surprising growth and I wish to offer my services and any counsel I can give, if you would have me." She turned to Bunji, giving him just as respectful of a bow as she had given Wulfram. "Good sir, I'm sad to say I have yet to hear of you, but if you are working under Sir Wulfram here, I am sure you're worth your salt. I hope we'll be working together."
