Combat Training (Reytrx99 and Maxim6)

[Reytrx99]

Feeling the movement of his arms at my legs, i jump off, and quickly realize my mistake as i feel his hands wrap around my legs. "Well played" i say as i hit the ground. "Very good" i continue, standing up. "Now, for your next test, catch me" i say, floating up as the dojo breaks apart around us.

[Maxim6]

(Sorry for the lateness of this.)

"Oh that's just great." I mutter to myself as the dojo crumbles. My first instinct when I see him fly into the air is to try and maneuver to a higher place and jump at him. I then realize that he could just move to the side, then the dojo will crumble on top of me or something. After a brief moment of contemplation, I figure out something. I maneuver around the dojo, trying to avoid the place collapsing on top of me, and search for a rope or something similar for me to use. I then fashion it into something of a lasso, then try to find a spot where he cannot see me. Then suddenly I throw the lasso towards him hoping to catch him that way.

(A bit unorthodox I admit, but it's all I can think of that won't end up with me faceplanting into the ground :P)

[Reytrx99]

I speed up, climbing ever higher
(A brilliant strategy though)

[Maxim6]

"Blast it." I say. Keeping my rope on me, I quickly grab some rocks and put them into my pockets for later. I then climb up the dojo hoping to get to at least an even level with him. Once I am even with him, I start quickly throwing rocks to try and slow him down, then throw the lasso again hoping for a better shot.

[Reytrx99]

I speed up again, climbing faster the higher i go

[Maxim6]

"Hmm, this is bad." I think to myself. He's going faster as he goes up, which means pretty soon I won't be able to catch him. "Hmm, perhaps...that is his weakness." I ponder to myself. I needed something heavy, really heavy, so I quickly went as far up as I could go, then ripped open some ceiling boards, tied them all together with the rope I grabbed earlier, then piled in any stones that I had not used to that point. Then, summoning up all of my strength, I hurled it in such a fashion that he would be forced, at his speed, to ram into it. "Heh, Inertia is a harsh mistress my friend, as you're about to learn the hard way."

(Eh, one thing I should ask, you mentioned in the first part of this that you're floating, does that mean you're flying into the air? Or did you land and are now climbing up the tower? If it's the latter, I need to edit my post.)

[Reytrx99]

(Yea im flying. Climbing is referring to moving up lol)
The rocks fall through me as i phase out, but catch my foot due to mistiming, and drag me to the ground

[Maxim6]

"Great...he can phase out of existence." I moan a bit. Luckily he still got hit and dragged to the ground. Problem: Now I'm very high up and the dojo is still crumbling. After some thought, I decide to tear off some of the cloth on my shirt to make a makeshift parachute to glide down to the ground, right next to my trainer.

[Reytrx99]

I stand up, brushing off as the dojo reassembles. "Nicely done. Very unorthodox based on what most people have been doing. You now get to choose what area you learn about next. Magic, swordplay, guns, traps perhaps?

[Maxim6]

That was two tests complete. After some thought about my next test options, I said "Well, why don't we cast some Magic."
