~Ler's Apocalypse IC

[Spazzmatic]

Allfons went up to Hannah and told her: "Ok, let us be on our way now."
And as he said that, he started walking towards the forest, letting Hannah walk behind him.
As he got to their destination, he stopped, and looked around.

Elarn followed behind Rissa, ready to start training "The only weapon i have is this bladed glove that i was given.. however i am also average at using a knife" he said that as he pulled the glove out of his pocked removing the sheath on the blade and putting the glove on. From now on.. I will not remove this glove. Lucky the blade can be detached i guess.. he said in his mind humoring himself.

He was ready to train till he could train no longer.
"Please teach me what i need to be taught" He said with a serious face looking into Rissa's eyes, Something he rarely did.

[Hayabusa]

Rissa and Elarn were at the wide open field, directly in front of the house. Both a distance from each other, like a duel. They were both exactly 50 feet away from each other, and 25 feet away from the center.

"Your main goal is to not rely heavily on your weapon, but to rely on your mindset, skill, and self awareness"

With that said, she laid her weapon down, on the grass. She was hinting at hand to hand combat and agility.

Adjusting her wrist, she said to Elarn, "in the battlefield, your arsenal is not always going to be in your grasp. Even your own weapons can betray you if you're not careful enough."

"My solution...Hand to hand combat. Your first training is to get adjusted with unarmed combat. Then, the next aspect we can work on after that is your elemental power. But that might have to wait a bit."

She took a stance, her right palm in front and facing Elarn, to assert defense, the left palm directly behind the other, facing sideways. A stance that allowed both defense and offense at the same time. Her feet planted on the ground, she motioned Elarn to fight.

"Now...let's see how good you are."

The air all of a sudden was tense. Thunder mildly rumbled and lightning flashed in the distance, to represent the mood of both individuals, whom were the same element. Which was mainly electricity.

[eternalflamz]

Elarn nodded and took off the blade of his glove, keeping the glove on as he had said to himself he would, even if only for sentimental reasons.

There seemed to be a calm before the storm, then a thunder strike hit and accelerated Elarns heart. "Now...let's see how good you are." "Here i go." He replied, circling his mentor, ready to strike.
In his head he was running through many possibilities, knowing that his mentor had more experience he had to play this out carefully.
With that in mind he knew this was training and that it would go nowhere until it started, So without another moments hesitation he dashed in at Rissa with what he hoped looked like a punch and attempted a feign to and sideswiped his legs out, trying to make her lose balance.

[Hayabusa]

Rissa stared down Elarn as he started to circle around her, trying to think of a game plan. He knew Rissa was an agile fighter, so he had to take that into serious consideration.

Elarn dashed at Rissa,

He tried to do a move cancel by trying to psyche out Rissa with a punch at first, but then tried to sweep her feet. But Rissa was one step ahead, and her reflexes came to play when she easily moved her head to the side to avoid Elarn's punch, lifted right foot away quickly, her left foot following after her right foot hit the ground.

She grabbed Elarn's arm and let him slip to her side and then at that moment...

Rissa aimed for the pressure points on Elarn's right arm and proceeded to strike them with her index and middle finger. If that was done right, his right arm should be incapacitated for a little bit.

She jumped away from Elarn, to distance herself.

"Too slow hon. Try again" she said, smiling, with her arms crossed.

Even though he was only a trainee, Rissa knew she should push Elarn beyond his normal limits, and that's exactly what she wanted to do. But there was one question lingering, could Elarn handle it?

[eternalflamz]

"Heh.." He had expected no less of Rissa, His arm was numb and rendered momentarily useless, a small smile momentarily flicked across his face.. He would keep going till he was told to stop or till he dropped.
He then tried to get a grip on the situation, He had loss the moments advantage he had hoped to gain, His right arm was also too numb to use putting him at even more of a disadvantage. Sighing he then took a moment to visualize what happened, and how to avoid that type of situation again, also to try and grasp what type of attack she had used on him, it was definitely a pressure point based attack which must use great accuracy.. And right now he wasn't sure if he could counter it.

He had that all race through his mind in a matter of seconds then prepared himself for another dash, this time he jumped forward and grabbed her right arm with his left, then attempted to land a kick to the chest from that position.

[Hayabusa]

The training resumed as Elarn tried to plan another attack route in his mind. Rissa could see he was trying too hard to make an attack plan. Rissa scratched the side of her head sheepishly.

She sternly said to Elarn "concentrate. close off your mind from all distractions. Focus your senses and don't rely on sight alone." She had made it harder on him, she restricted the use of sight, so Elarn would have to result to using his other senses.

Elarn dashed once more at Rissa.

.
.
.

But this time, he jumped forward and grabbed her right arm. Her mind flickered as it raced to figure out what to do, but Rissa broke her own rule. She opened her mind and relied on its actions.

Rissa took the kick the chest, but it barely had any strength behind it. In a swift exchange, she grabbed Elarn's leg and sweeped the other with her right leg, making him fall down to the ground, with moderate force.

"Again" she stared down Elarn on the ground.

[eternalflamz]

"hmph.." Elarn used his single hand to jump up.
This time instead of rushing in he prepared himself and tried mimicking her previous stance with just one hand embarrassing aware of how open his right side was without a hand to defend with, even so he looked straight into the eyes of Rissa and await what was to come.

(Sorry its short, Didn't know what else to do.)

[Hayabusa]

Things took a turn for the better as Rissa was now on the offensive, and Elarn was on the defensive.

Rissa jumped away from Elarn to clear a distance, and when he intently stared at Rissa, that's when she made her move. Rissa wanted to know if Elarn's mind sharper than his eyes, she proceeded to dash at Elarn, but in a zig zag motion. Rissa has honed her agility to its very limit, if she's faster than she thinks, than Elarn should be seeing almost doubles, or illusions.

As soon as Rissa got up to Elarn, she ducked down and attempted a sweep, her right foot crashing against his left. If that would wasn't enough, Rissa also landed a swift punch to his stomach, nothing too heavy, just a quick jab.

[eternalflamz]

Elarn was hit pretty hard with the two attacks, to stop from falling over he spun on his right foot, then with the moment he kept it going and tried to kick with his left foot against her side, at the same side attempting to use his left hand to attempt a double counter, to counter her counter, if one appeared.
