Training at Sunrise

[buildyourworld]

Who: Tieria and YOU
When: May 9th, a day AFTER Intro Log
Where: Caissa, Coastal District
What: Tieria organized a mass training session, hideous ensues?
Rating: Violence, language, more violence




If you made your way to the location, you're already one step closer upon completing your training because this part of the beach is the furthest away from any settlement or port and also the hardest to find. You probably found it by following other heroes' trail, or you're those who stumbles around until you found it or you're actually one of those who went scouting before the actual day.

Either way, congratulation for making it this far ( puns completely intended ). Surrounding the rocky beach is an even rockier cliff. Be careful not to stumble or you will find yourself in need of healing. Thankfully, there are Kings ready to make a guinea pig out of your healing needs around. Your training will be held on the round rock-carved deck overlooking the beautiful sea or on the less rocky stretch of the beach, depending on your Trainer's choice. If you're lucky, your Trainer might even have you hike up that rocky cliff. You may even treat yourself to Caissa's fantastic sunset if you made it up there in time!

In any case, once you've arrived at sunrise ( or rather when the sun has risen sufficiently over the horizon because you're that bad with direction or has no sense of time ) and is done catching your breath, you will come to a notice pinned on the tall fences that tells you to tie a ribbon ( in the buckets, also tied to the fence ) corresponding to the training you wish to partake in on your arm.

Stamina ( GREEN ) ✽ Endurance ( ORANGE ) ✽ Weapons ( BLUE ) ✽ Magic ( PURPLE )

The notice will also instructs those who volunteers to be Trainers to tie a different set of ribbons, with black stripe over the four corresponding colors, on their arm to help differentiate them and the course(s) they're instructing. Of course, if you turn out to be a terrible Trainer, Tieria will rip that ribbon off you and very possibly shoves you into the sea.

There are no training weapon available because you're supposed to bring your own magic weapon.
If you forgot, you can either run back for it or pick a different course.

There's also a clause in very bold red letters that forbid killing. Break it and you will be broken in return.

Are you done tying those ribbons? Then what are you waiting? Get moving!





(( OOC: Please indicate in your top level if your character is a Trainer (which course are they instructing?) or Trainee.
eg.: Harry Potter | TRAINER - MAGIC
eg.: Severus Potter | TRAINEE - EVERYTHING PLEASE

Feel free to mingle around! Make friends, frenemies and even better, rivals! ))

[ When you feel like life no longer matters and you fancy a painful and drawn out bloody death, he will cook for you.

Tieria still remembers Minato's specialty from the naval battle not too long ago. With a nod, he draws Forseti from his belt and smirks. ]

Start running then.

[ If Minato's academics is as good as it is, then he would probably recognize the formulas of combustion, velocity and parabolic equation that will manifest in the form of fireball. If Minato doesn't run fast enough, it's going to require more fortitude than eating lunch to heal. ]

[ He might actually get to that point. This is duly noted.

Wait--start running?

Ah, shit. He was hoping this wasn't going to end up being another Endurance test, but it looks like he doesn't have much of a choice. Unfortunately for Minato, neither of his spells are intended to boost speed. But off he goes out of necessity alone. He doesn't want to end up as pot roast. ]

[ Tieria isn't heartless, thankfully, although he might appears like he is anyway. The fireball only chases him for a small distance, before he pulls it back, an exercise that he's practicing to gain more control over Psionic Magic. ]

You're at the right distance now. [ Fireball still hovering around him, he smirks slightly at Minato. ]

Let's see what you can do.

[ Minato is visibly relieved when he's allowed to slow to a stop. He was pretty sure that he was going to need someone to put his hair out after a few minutes. Taking a deep breath, Minato steadies himself. Alright, so now he's supposed to attack?

He exhales through his nose, before straightening. Opening his right palm, a pale blue light appears, forming a small ball. Suddenly, it seems to fall in on itself and turns black, before expanding exponentially until it stretches out into a long, black whip-like beam of energy.

He snaps it forward. ]

[ Tieria directs the fireball to defend, meeting the whip before it gets to him and knocking it back towards Minato. The good thing about having access to Psionic Magic is the fact that he could bend his spells to his will, although it consumes more mana than usual to keep it in use.

He doesn't wait and instead shoots the fireball to Minato in an high flying arc. Whether Minato could use the dark whip to defend himself or not, Tieria is already prepping his next spell. Lightning. ]

[ Using magic in ways like this is definitely foreign to him, though he's getting used to it. He realizes it was much easier in a physical sense to have a Persona act on his behalf, but mentally it's much less taxing. That's got to be the balance there, right? He still kind of misses it.

The whip does come flying backwards, a little unruly since Minato's still learning to control it. The sort of Dark Magic he's used to literally runs on insta-kill, so this is something new entirely. He jumps to the side, managing to doge the tip slapping against the ground beside him, leaving a welt and dead grass in it's wake. The strands don't appear to be burnt as they might with fire, but just suddenly devoid of life, brown and dead.

There's the smell of ozone building in the air that indicates Tieria's next move, although Minato isn't sure how well his spell will act as a defense, he'll try it anyway. Only one way to find out, right? He snaps the whip back up and coils it three times, readying himself for the next attack. ]
