Private RP: Rhilin's world. (No Jump-Ins!)

[Jenzy]

Blaze Drifter drowsily got up from her seat. While she had taken the notes she's needed, sometimes it had been written sloppily and quickly. She got out of the classroom and let out a yawn... Oh.... wow. I wonder what's for lunch...
She slowly was heading for the lunchroom, then she immediately remembered.

Oh that's right! Aaaaahhh! Good golly, I'm gonna be late! She then turned to try to find her next class. Since she was also attending it with Akkeiyo, that was her hint to if she was getting close to the classroom. She opened her map to see where the next class was also.

Good thing we have 10 minutes of break. What was the next class? Oh yeah. More lecture. Though, it's about that hand-to-hand stuff. Hopefully I can actually keep up this time. Blaze Drifter said to herself as she searched for the classroom, which was becoming near...

[Blaze]

Akkeiyo stood outside of the Defense classroom and jammed her supplies back into her bag. She didn't want to spend a second more in that classroom. Afterward, she scooped out her schedule and map to see where and what her next destination was.

"Another "Hand to Hand" lecture, eh? I hope it won't be another useless history lesson," she inquired to herself. She already knew the general location of the classroom, so she put the map, along with the schedule, away in her satchel once again. Akkeiyo then began her journey to the lecture.

[Night Pony]

Rhilin soon arrived at her classroom which once again was locked. 'You'd figure they would unlock all rooms by this hour of the day.' she thought and again started to wait. 'At least I won't see Akkei this time.'
After a few minutes the teacher arrived and unlock the door. The gathered students flooded in the room.

[Jenzy]

Blaze soon noticed Rhilin from afar. Nope, wrong classroom. Ugh. At least I'm getting a little exercise and stretch than just sitting through the hours of lecture.

She continued onward. She sensed that she was getting close. Soon enough, she began to have sight of distant students, including Akkeiyo. And of course, the classroom's number.

It's about time. Yikes. About a minute left...

She put away her map/schedule/agenda into her sachel/messenger/side-bag and prepared for the new lecture.
Hopefully it's not as boring as the last one...

[Blaze]

Akkeiyo walked into the classroom and took the same seat that she sat in yesterday. She propped her head up with her hand, still feeling the lingering effects of the previous class. She glanced at the the teacher and her assistant going through papers scattered around their desk. Ms. Draegar wore a pair of reading glasses on her face, following the words on the papers with her finger while Bernard looked over her shoulder. They talked in hushed tones, which were even more quiet given the distance their desk was to the students' desks.

After failing to hear what the subject of their conversation was, Akkeiyo turned her attention away. They were most likely going over the lesson plan with each other anyway.

[Night Pony]

Rhilin took her usual place and the class began. The teacher continued his lecture about the swords for several minutes before moving onto the next weapon which was...pole weapons or pole-arms. 'At least they have something in common with the scythe.' she thought to herself and decided to take notes on things she could apply to her weapon. 'I may end up getting something useful from this class and not be another total waste.' she thought as she was writing some of the information though her other arm was still supporting her head out of boredom.
"A pole weapon or pole-arm is a close combat weapon in which the main fighting part of the weapon is fitted to the end of a long shaft, typically of wood, thereby extending the user's effective range. A pole-arm is differentiated from a spear in that the penetrating 'edge' is parallel to the pole, rather than in-line, although many pole-arms also incorporate a spear point. Glaives, poleaxes, halberds, and naginatas are all varieties of pole-arms.
The purpose of using pole weapons is either to extend reach or to increase angular momentum--and thus striking power--when the weapon is swung."

[Jenzy]

Oh yeah. I was here yesterday...Blaze Drifter thought in her mind as she chose a seat that she sat at from the previous day (around the second row).

She had been settled and prepared herself for yet another lecture. So have the other students at their seats waiting for the teacher to prepare for another wonderful lecture about hand-to-hand combat. Oh splendid! Hopefully everyone's ready.

[Blaze]

Minutes passed as the teachers continued on with their work, completely unaware of the students patiently waiting for the lesson to begin. Bernard was the first to notice their fault and he whispered his revelation into Ms. Draegar's ear. Ms. Draegar hastily sprang up from her desk, whipped her glasses off, and sped to the center of the classroom with her assistant at her heels.

"I apologize, students. There were some important matters to attend to and we got a bit carried away," she explained with a sheepish grin and a face as red as a rose. "So, who's up for learning some moves to start out the day?"

It was blatantly obvious that the teacher canned her original lesson plans in order to teach something more exciting as an apology for the wait. Akkeiyo had no qualms about it though as she listened intently to the lessons. The teacher would first perform the move on her assistant and then would explain all of the important details about the specific move.

[Night Pony]

The teacher of the two handed class continued with the talk about poles and after a while begun to explain different moves and techniques specific and non-specific to this kind of a weapon. Rhilin's was only interested in listening to him until she could determine if the technique could be of use to her. As time passed it appeared that nothing from today's lesson would be of use to her.

[Jenzy]

((Sorry for the lack of posts. I've finally beat that tough Final Level of Super Mario 3D World. And I've also still got a lot of schoolwork to do. ))


Oh yeah, let's do it!
Mmhmm.
Yay lecture!
We're ready~

Blaze Drifter was a bit intrigued upon how the instructors had demonstrated the moves and then explained them. She was able to understand the concept a whole lot better, and was also able to take good note on them. Even drawing a quick diagram if she could. She listened well. This sure is an interesting approach. Definitely makes learning less boring.

Ms. Draegar then performed another move on her assistant, and her assistant also made her move. She then explains the details upon that self-defense strategy. Bernard then adds on a bit of detail on his move, and its usage.

[Blaze]

After showing the class a few basic moves, Ms. Draegar brushed her hands together, creating a tiny brown cloud of dirt from her hands.

"That'll be all for today," she stated as she put her hands on her hips. She received a chorus of moans. Akkeiyo gave a deflated groan and went back to propping up her head with her arm.

"We'll be continuing on in the text book. Now open your book to page 30 and we'll begin where we left off."

Ms. Draegar rambled enthusiastically about the various types of martial arts, such as karate and shibudo, while Bernard kept his eyes locked on the print, nodding  in agreement or adding details to the statement at times. Akkeiyo also heard her mention something about reading a book by some Sun Tzu guy, whoever that was. The class continued on until the bell chimed.

[Night Pony]

And the bell marked the end of today's classes with not a moment too soon. Rhilin was already hungry and she didn't waste any time getting her things and heading towards her lunch.

[Blaze]

Akkeiyo shut the text book with a thump.

"I guess that wraps up the second day," she thought to herself as she got up from her seat and stretched. She then began packing up her supplies when hunger suddenly hit her like a brick. Once all of her possessions were collected, she slung her satchel over her shoulder and made her way towards the cafeteria.

[Jenzy]

Nnnnghh.... That sure was somethin'. Yaaaaay, lunch time~ Blaze Drifter said to herself as she stretched from her seat and placed her belongings into her satchel.

She had reached the cafeteria around the time Akkeiyo did. She was eager to eat, and also kind of glad that the lectures have ended for today.

[Night Pony]

Rhilin was already having her lunch at one of the tables. It didn't appear that she was expecting someone to come and keep her company for lunch.

[Blaze]

Akkeiyo made her way through the cafeteria line, grabbing a cup of juicy blueberries and whatever the main dish was. The main meal looked to be some sort of meat, but even with her heightened sense of smell, she could not decipher what kind.

The red-head then walked over to where Rhilin was sitting and sat across from the girl as if it was becoming a routine.
"So, are you ready for the physical training tomorrow? I hear that the coach is going to drill us extra hard since it's the first day that we have it," Akkeiyo said as she threw a blueberry into her mouth.

[Night Pony]

"If he makes us do pointless things, it will be a long year. Also they said that we need to be in sports wear." Rhil said and took another bite from her meal.

[Blaze]

Akkeiyo took a second to think about what she was going to wear or if she had anything to wear at all. As she did, she took a bite of the mystery meat. It didn't taste bad but it was certainly far from good. She set it back down on her plate and stuck to the blueberries.

"Know where we have to go tomorrow for it?"

[Night Pony]

"It says courtyard 3. I guess that one is for physical exercises only."

((And as of now we have 1 yard for that and 2 for weapon/magic training.  ))

[Jenzy]

"If he makes us do pointless things, it will be a long year. Also they said that we need to be in sports wear." Rhil said and took another bite from her meal.

((Oh glob. I have a sketch of Blaze Drifter's sports-wear already!
This is perfect! I really should be focusing on my finals stuff though I:))

Ah, hey. It's you two. You talkin' about tomorrow's physical training? Blaze Drifter asked as she arrived at the table.
