RYU
						    [i] District 4[/i]


	Ryu was sparring with an instructor when he heard the sound of orders being changed. It was something about a sudden fog and creatures fighting in the mist. A mist dragon could be of interest. Was there such a creature in this land? Ryu could only hope if there were the creature would still be intact. The blade of his instructor hit Ryu hard on the side of the head. The man had been a good teacher so far, but very strict with Ryu. The master had yet to transfer skills to Ryu as was customary, but instead focused on good fundamentals. The instructor had somehow discovered more than one style of sword play. The man had somehow found a way to use both speed and strength together. It was marvelous what these people could do with a simple blade. Youmu's speed flashed through his mind for a second. It could be that level of speed was agility and strength combined. The process of learning to use these together was arduous requiring more energy then Ryu would normally have assumed a person could spend in training. If anything he needed a training partner. The nearby tower had a look out where Ryu could stand looking out over the training fields and be visible to others. Ryu bowed to his master interested in the concepts and techniques. Ryu practiced on the tower his blue hair plainly visible.
