[IC] War of Magics

[TheFake]

Kyla stepped forward next, arms hanging loose by her sides. She'd seen enough to have an idea of what to do.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Well Then, little fire, show me what you can do" Talek said

[TheFake]

She stepped forward and quickly threw an ordinary punch, raising her other hand to a guard position. Her attacking hand snapped back into a position as fast as it had snapped out.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Ah, so you have some skill. Come at me" Talek said with amusement

[TheFake]

She moved forward, throwing punches at him with both hands but keeping one guarding. Kyla took care not to invite any counter attacks, keeping her weight on her back foot and never leaving a punch out for more than a fraction of a second.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Ah" Talek grinned, catching one of Kyra's hands as she punched at him, he waited, to see what she would do

[TheFake]

She stepped close, planting a foot behind his and pushing him backwards with an elbow in his stomach.

Erik watched the little bouts, studying, eyes narrowed. He considered his hand to hand to be decent, but he was mostly trained in his bow and arrow and the two knives. Hand to hand was occasional, mostly trained to fight someone stronger then him. He brushed his finger over the knives quietly. One was larger then the other. They had a guard, ment to stop things from hitting his hand. The metal was harder then most, causing most things to dent she it is blocked with his knife.

[MarshiestMallow]

Talek allowed himself to be pushed back, but the moved with a speed that you wouldn't expect from his size. He caught Kyra, pinning her arms to her sides

[TheFake]

Quite deliberately, she kicked him squarely between the legs.

[MarshiestMallow]

There was no reaction, the wall of wind blocking her attempt "you're good. But you need to be faster and not give away what you are going to do"

[TheFake]

She nodded, content with how she had done without magic.

[MarshiestMallow]

Talek smiled and let her go. "Right, while I would love to see the rest of you, your time is up for today. I agine you have lots of work to-"

A high pitched, inhuman scream echoed throughout the trees surrounding the building

"Oh, heck"

[ShadowVentus]

Ventus hears this inhuman screech and grows wary. If need be, he's ready to summon his weapon.

[Nicias Askani]

"question....what the hell was that?" Sage asks blatantly

[MarshiestMallow]

"That" Talek said "is what you are going to be trained to fight. Come on, I better get you all to a safe place"

[Nicias Askani]

"isnt this supposed to be the safe place.. as a castle?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"It is meant to be, yes. Which means that it isn't the normal run of the mill creatures trying to get in. This is powerful" Talek replied. "Do not fear, us teachers know a thing or two"

[SomeoneSomewere]

Erik said, his voice calm," how about we stop talking and start moving Hm?" He grabbed his bow and quiver, stringing his bow in case it is needed to be used for any reason.

[Nicias Askani]

Sage made a face that was a perfect blend of confusion and annoyance "so thats the way its going to be. protect us but shutting us away. when do we actually get to fight. i'll admit we arent ready now but when? Before this becomes a cycle type thing where you never think we are ready and eventually get cursed out"
