Taurou was wandering in the vast forests of Argyre, waiting for his newly assigned student to arrive. He was quite nervous as to how well he would teach him. He knew what he was going to do before he started teaching him anything though. That would be to test his combat skills. He was going to try and copy what his master had done and work on his fighting first. Whilst pondering how hard to go on his student, he came upon a tree that was about 1KM in diameter and decided to rest before his spar. He climbed up a few meters and started to take a nap in one of the thick branches.

Making his way thorough the forest Darren stopped. This was his first time training with his new mentor Taurou. He thought back when he met him in the library. He seemed nice enough, and amazingly enough he looked like a cat! But the thing that probably made him like him was his attitude. The guy talked normally and seemed to have the normal disposition out of the whole group!

Excited he rushed along trying to find his mentor in this huge forest.

...Did he even tell me where we are suppose to meet up? he thought as he passed the same 1km tree Pyoh was on for the 2nd time.

Hearing the crunching of the leaves on the ground, Taurou awoke to see his pupil walking by. As he was about to call out to him, he thought it better to see how well he could react to a surprise. Taurou stood on the branch and walked to the edge, crouching at the tip watching Darren walk by. He smiled and, using his superior speed, flung himself at Darren, taking his right hand up to his left cheek so his elbow would be the first think to strike Darren. Let's hope he is good at sensing danger... He thought to himself.

Ahhh this place is rather nice, he thought, it reminded him of the other forest area in the magic world.

He started to relax a bit as he was going around.

Man I'll nev- He stopped short.

He suddenly felt a mass of wet dirt on his clothes.

Darren instinctually pulled out his daggers in an instant and turned

...He turned to see Taurou elbow engraved into Albert's stomach.

Hmph, that basic defense training was working wonders, he thought.

He relieved Albert for the day, watching him bow and disappear without a trace.

Looking at his attacker he said Hello there instructor Ryoh.
Daggers still in his hand gripping them tightly.

Hullo there Darren, Taurou said using his tail to push himself out of the creature known as "Albert". He landed on the balls of his feet in a loose fighting stance. He cracked his neck and said, This is out first meeting as Student and Mentor so here's how this will go. I will fight you, you will hold nothing back. I will assess where you are in the stages of your strength and we'll go from there. He took off his jacket and tossed it to the side. And to make sure you don't take any mortal injuries I'm not using my weapons. OK? He looked from Darren to Albert and smiled. This should be fun!

Speeding forwards, he jumped from left to right to confuse the two and dove so he would end up behind Darren, then he spun on the balls of his feet using the leaves' looseness to his advantage to add to his momentum, back-fisted his student on the side of his head.

Darren by then was ready for him.

The same thing wouldn't work against me he thought as Albert disappeared.

Getting struck by the shallow backhand he head-turned as he felt the hand come upon his face. Without any decent power and support from the cat's legs the attack barely even registered as Darren turned using the blow's impact to help with his rotation as he aimed his shoulder at the Taorou's thigh and following up with a turning snap kick aimed at his abdominal muscles.

Taking the strike to the stomach by his student, Taurou went flying backwards and sprawled on the ground. He did a kip-up and landed in a crouch smiling his approval. Poen a dioddefaint- He stopped Mid incantation and charged right at Daren with his left fist clenched. His right hand hung loosely next to him like a limp limb. He reached his student in under a second and used his tail to push him to the side so he met face to face with Albert. Exarmatio! He yelled out releasing his breath that he realized he was holding. There was a burst of air that struck
Albert in the face.

ALBERT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? Darren yelled as he shoved Albert out of the way. I thought I dismissed him Darren thought as he focused on his opponent.

There's so much much more about magic I need to learn about. He looked at his sparring partner. And he's the one I'm going to test my will on he concluded as he recited the ancient words that resonated in his veins.

Innocent Rage Take Shape! Endless Winter!

The air then turned cold around them as his eyes started glowing a deep blue.

Missing the strike, Taurou charged forward to dodge any attack from his pupil. He stopped and turned around to face his opponent who had just called out a spell. Taurou stopped moving and waited to see his opponent's spell in action. He needed to see what kinds of spells his pupil would use to teach him correctly.

He watched as his master was trying to take in his spell.

Your mistake... he said as he shundo'd into close proximity.

The sudden heat lost isn't something you disregard or don't notice he thought as he sent the hilt of his daggers to the cat's body.

first and only warning he replied as he sent readied a knock back kick.

His body was getting really warmed up as he was siphoning the heat from the area.

Taurou saw the simple melee attack sent for him with the daggers and easily sidestepped them with his speed, however one of them grazed his shoulder and he spun backwards, holding his shoulder. He backed up a bit more as he soon felt the chill in the air and his breath became laboured when he tried to breathe in the cold air. Poen a dioddefaint- he held his breath and air gathered in his left hand as lightning magic started gathering in his right hand. This is going to hurt like hell... He was going to wait but when he realized that Darren was not being fazed by the icy chill, he released his magic in his right hand yelling out: Unus Fulgor Concidens Noctem, in Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edat. Fulguratio Albicans. He sent out a line of white lightning that was engulfed with darkness. Taurou winced as his magicks collided and awaited the result of his attack.

The black lightning came right towards him, his initial magic caused a bit of a crackle as the spell entered thru it's radius but powered through to where Darren was.

Darrren jumped to the left before shundoing full speed at Taorou.

However this time he appeared past him and appeared 5 meters away from him.

Throwing his daggers to the ground and pulling out his gunblade he watched Taoruo.

He's still in my range... he thought the cold must be affecting him, assuming a lowered position ready to rush if he ran.

Just what Taurou wanted Darren to do. He stepped forwards into the cold air and released his breath yelling out Exarmatio! The magic that was charged in his hand was used in the spell along with some of the dark magic that was in his hand. This wasn't just a normal Exarmatio though. This was so much more powerful, more than Taurou intended too. Hopefully Darren wouldn't take too much of a hit...

Darren took the hit head on.

He saw the move and saw it wasn't the same black lightning as before. Hmph he said as he braced himself.

He got pushed a bit of a the distance as he took the magic in. Hmm, wind he thought as he landed.

Alright let's see how it fares interrupted by mine.

Innocent Rage Take Shape! Enveloping Winds!


The area around Darren suddenly blew with a wind as it marked it's boundary around Darren, easily seen as it obstructed the view between Taurou and Darren with wind and dust from the surrounding area.


Well then, come on... He said from behind the vortex.

Taurou gave up his stance when he saw his student take the hit from his Exarmatio, and dispelled the magic in his arm. He turned his head away from Darren and clapped. Well done Darren but uhm... Must be pretty "drafty" huh? He asked while still looking away. He pointed downwards and cleared his throat, pretty much syaing his clothes were blown off with the spell. We're done for now though. He said still looking to his side. Put some clothes on and we'll get you some training done. 'Kay? Taurou turned to walk away.

Looking slightly abashed Darren agreed as he noticed his "situation.

Erm yea sure... let's go do that he said as he picked up his bag looking for a new set of clothes.

>.>

So THAT's what is the odd characteristic of this guy.

Reviewing the spell in his mind.

The guy's the biggest pervert in the world to openly use that move on another dude.

WE WILL NEVER SPEAK OF THIS EVER!!! He thought while avoiding Taorou's gaze the rest of the day.

(We good here or you wanna keep going?)

[LOL i'm not a pervert for guys xDD Anyways, no. I was going to set up a new post soon for a REAL training. Not just a spar :P]
