2nd Swordplay | Dojo [Video/Action to Fayren]

[jisho]

[The feed opens with the view of the lush forests of Fayren. Then it shifts to reveal a sizable new building. It looks like a traditional Japanese home from the outside. Jisho was always the traditional type of guy. If anything, he was just old-fashioned, even when he lived in a modern world.

People will then notice a familiar face, sitting in front of the feed. It was the man who arrived two weeks ago. As usual, he was wearing his sleeveless shinobi garments. So as he addressed the feed, he flexed a majority of his muscles.]

Genessia. I hear there are many fighters here who were forced to take on such mediocre jobs. Such jobs that keep your muscles idle and dormant.

[He stands up, and pulls both his arms towards his center. He showed how his arm muscles were widening and how all his superficial blood vessels can now be appreciated by the viewer. It was a sight to behold.]

Muscles are not made to be useless! They need to be constantly trained and abused!

[Then he straightens one arm and points a strong finger towards the feed.]

Let me train you.

I am accepting fighters in my dojo! Dojo Uruha Kurogane!

[His newly established dojo. And no matter how much people will pester him, he will not state why there's a dojo behind him - and how. Neither will he mention why there's a huge cliff behind his dojo.]

I need people who are worthy of my time and efforts.

If you think yourself to be capable and strong, climb the highest mountain of Fayren and you will find my dojo near its peak.

You might find a suitable reward...if you're strong enough.

[Heavily Encrypted Message for Kurei]

Master Kurei. It is done. The dojo is done. Within its basement, is the iron cage for the fighters. We can use part of the development fund to pay for the winner of each night. At least, for those interested.

We just need to discreetly inform the fighters and interested financial parties about the fight club which we shall host every Wednesday and Saturday evening, at midnight. Hopefully, this can be the beginning of the Death Matches.

Lastly, the Moon Palace is done. It's craftily hidden behind the cliff, many levels within the mountain.

[The Moon Palace is fashioned in the same way as the Moon Palace which held Tsuukino hostage.]

Also, as you instructed me, Miss Kurenai has minimal knowledge about this.

((ooc: This is a sign-up post for those who wants to be member of the fight club. It won't be advertised openly. Rule #1, never talk about fight club. XD))

Will this be able to accommodate various fighting styles or only hand-to-hand? I also need to know the policy on weapons and special non-physical skills.

[ Because frankly, while she's all for getting some extra practice fighting at a higher level than self-practice here, she's got to know that her ways of fighting will be allowed. ]

My aim is to improve your vitality, endurance and strength, through various training processes.

However, as a weapon user, I urge the use of weapons as well. Practices may proceed within the dojo or within the mountain area depending on the damage scale of your weapon. So basically, you will have to inform me about the potential impact of your weapon so I know what I should be ready for, and at the same time, I know what the other students should be ready for.

Pinpoint accuracy with a Multiaction Dust Rapier to long-distance or wide-range using Dust and Glyphs, particularly in team combat.

[jisho]

[Those sound like attacks Neon would be aware of. But there was only one way for Jisho could tell for sure.]

So a long distance and wide-range attack skill. I'd have to see it for myself. If you're ever free, I would like to see this attacks for myself, and see if we could device a training program for and around it.

[notsoholyspirit]

You're really going to make people climb a mountain to get there?

[He's looking rather put off, a cross of a pout and a frown on his face.]

I'd be interested in training, but I'm neither in Fayren nor am I particularly good at climbing mountains.

[Video]

[jisho]

If they are unable to climb a mountain, that means they are weak-willed and lack the needed strength for the ensuing exercises. If they're unable to do that, I don't think it would be advisable for them to be my students. Plus, climbing the mountain increases stamina and strengthens your leg and core muscles.

That is too bad. I would have wanted to see how a weapon such as yourself would fair in a practice duel.

[Video]

[notsoholyspirit]

Is Fayren far from Genessia City itself? I haven't ventured beyond Genessia City yet. I would like to spar, I used to with my previous meister.

[Video]

[jisho]

Don't tell me you haven't explored the city yet.

[He sighs.] From the bay, there are four roads. Each leading to polar directions. North, South, West, and East. Each road ends with a gate. With the use of each necklace, you can pass each gate and then head to the corresponding city. If you can't run or walk, you can ride the bus. From there, you can ask for the mountain I speak of.

[Rose hadn't exactly needed the lessons, but she felt it was important to keep up with her training. He did have a point though. She'd already wasted almost 2 years in Wonderland. She needed to keep up.]

Sounds interesting. Count me in.

[Video]

[jisho]

[While the girl was talking, he can't help but remember his training session with Neon. He repeatedly told her to stand down. Women were not meant for Uruha. But she proved her wrong, and perhaps this girl will do so as well.]

I need your name. Also, I need to know if you're okay with climbing the mountain in a daily basis. If not, accommodations within the dojo can be made, so that would add to the price of the training session.

[Video]

[violencefirst]

Rose Hathaway.

That really sucks for days that I want to be lazy, but I'll manage.

[Video]

[jisho]

I will be your mentor for Uruha Kurogane, Jisho.

Alright. The fee stands at 5 red bills for a 2 hour session. However, you can opt to pay 25 red bills for 10 hours, which is consumable. You can spread it out through ten days. That's a hundred red bills for 30 days, unlimited hours of training. An additional 5 red bills shall be charged for every day that you wish to rent lodging at the dojo.

Is everything clear so far?

[swordprincess]

[There's a part of her that just wants to laugh at the muscle spectacle, but at the same time, she can't help but admire the tenacity being described here.]

Well...you sure are...dedicated.

[Video]

[jisho]

[He flexes one arm in front of the feed.]

You don't get a body like mine by sitting all day and doing nothing.

[Video]

[swordprincess]

Well, I suppose that's true. But you know, muscles aren't everything.

[Video]

[jisho]

Brains, tactics, speed, stamina and dexterity matter just as much. And those, you get from solid and effective training.

[scelus_sceleris]

Fitting. I will take a look at them personally on my own accord. Good Job, Jisho. I will give you full jurisdiction of the dojo and the fight club. Perhaps, we can find useful people here as well.

[ He's not a person of many words but each one of his words were said with carefulness and seriousness. ]

Maintain a distance from the outside world. We need to make certain that this will run smoothly. I suppose finding sponsors would also suffice.

As for Kurenai-- it is better this way. If she does figure it, perhaps I'll remind her of what I am.

[jisho]

Of course, Master Kurei. And it would seem like I have potential students already. Students who have potential. [He grinned. He never needed Master Kurei to mix words with him. He ]

We can either use them in the future or keep the information we gain from training sessions for future reference. [Such as beating them to the ground.]

As you wish. I will do my best to ensure no one will hinder us. Monitoring frequents and sponsors shouldn't prove to be a challenge.

[Then he nodded.] That is a personal matter, a matter in which I shall never interfere, I promise you that.

heavily encrypted

[scelus_sceleris]

Good. We'll see how their potentials will be tested in this place. I shall leave that to your decision.

[ The man replied giving him a nod of his head. ]

Useful people will be rewarded handsomely. I will visit their training sessions on my own accord. [ He would like to see how many strong people he could use. It's something that he was planning since he got here. He knew he wasn't going to get anywhere at this rate. ]

Yes, if they squeal, well you know how to get rid of traitors. That is all I order of you.

[voice]

[tsundere_catgirl]

[You can almost hear the sly cocky grin in Lethe's voice]

What if we're more trained than you're capable of teaching Beorc? Or even fighting? What then?

[She's definitely intrigued though, because if she's going to be spending more time in this world, then she'd definitely need some place to train, let off steam, and better yet, find worthy opponents. Just from what she could see of this man's build, he probably wasn't just all talk either.]

[voice]

[jisho]

I highly doubt it. But there's only one way to find out, isn't there?

[voice]

[tsundere_catgirl]

[There's almost a throaty growl on the other end, possibly even a hint of a purr in there as Lethe is already on the move.]

You have intrigued me Beorc, let's see how you fair against a warrior of Gallia. I won't even try tearing out your throat, just to keep things friendly.

[video]

[the_roseblack]

I do need to keep my skills sharp somehow.

If a dojo for mortals is the best that's available, it'll have to do. Better than nothing, at least.

[video]

[jisho]

I have a number of students signing up already, you might want to do the same thing.

I take it you're not a mortal then?

[video]

[the_roseblack]

Very well. And if you are in need of additional instructors, you will find me more than qualified. [She does have that one training Charm, and plenty of combat expertise]

I am Exalted. Dragonblooded.

I am on my way now. [Ejava starts on her way up the mountain, still in full articulated plate armor.]
