__ Narrowly, Taylor avoided her powered kick. The ground buckled and cracked upon impact, scattering quite a bit of sand in the process and masking her presence from the others for a moment. Zhi was completely startled by the amount of damage she managed. "Oh my gosh... I almost just hit Taylor with that..." She became white as a sheet for a second until she realized that Masato was now also attacking her friend. It was all against all, but that didn't stop the emotionally impulsive girl from anything in particular. The sand cloud collected on the ground again and Zhi vanished for another Jinton-enhanced shunshin. She'd turn mid-maneuver to reappear in Masato's blind side, able to easily pick out the real one from his afterimages with her sensory prowess, as he finished executing his attack and immediately initiated the Freestyle Whirlwind's Lesser Combo. With her flavorful twist, her first attack would this time start with a rising kick to his exposed nether region through the same Kickflip technique she just threatened her best friend with. If unavoided, the rest of this combo attack would inevitably hit as well. Not able to think of anything else at the moment she'd just use the Kickflip two more times to wrap up the combo. The second was also aimed for the nethers, but the last was a forward spinning ax kick to hit Masato in the back of the neck. If there wasn't enough insult to injury, if Masato ended up on the ground like intended, then she'd prepare a tiger hand seal. The index and middle fingertips of each hand were aimed right at Masato's derriere. With an intense thrust she'd threaten to shame her sempai without even bothering to consider the consequences which would surely follow. **LEARNING - Sennen Goroshi [ One Thousand Years of Death ] [ E-Rank | Soft Formless | 1/1 Posts ]

Taylor watched wide eyed as the uppercut came right at him. Then Zhi appeared to assist. It felt like there was so much going on. Taylor decided that the ground was no longer the safest option. His left hand formed handseals while his knees bent. When the two closed in on him he disappeared and re-appeared on Horus' back. The bird staggered a bit in the air as it balanced the new weight on his back, but with a little flapping the majestic bird regained his balance. It then circled around the area while still high in the air. A single ball of lightning was shot down from the chakra the bird performed flapping his wings at a diagonal angle from the two's 10 o'clock. Although weaker than it's normal state, the speed was still impressive. The ball of lightning came down with blistering speed as it aimed to hit one of the two fighters.
Chakra: 721 Stamina: 782 Techniques Used: D-ranked body flicker, C-ranked ball of lightning which became B-ranked in speed because of its ability. Stats: Strength: Genin +12 ll Fortitude: Genin +8 ll Speed: Genin +9 ll Reflexes: Genin +9 Passives: Electric Resistance Training: E-ranked One with the Chain: E-ranked Minor Control: D-ranked Pivot: C-ranked Quick Step: B-ranked Iron Umph: E-ranked Iron Resiliency: D-ranked Iron Discipline: C-ranked Korabo: S-ranked with himself and Taylor Horus Techniques Used: Strength: Genin +12 ll Fortitude: Genin ll Speed: Genin +12 ll Reflexes: Genin Passives: Electric Resistance Training: E-ranked Korabo: S-ranked with Taylor
The Uchiha's crimson red hues would shift about, taking note that Zhi's chakra signature was no longer visible to him. The girl had moved at break neck speeds to get into Masato's blind spot. Suddenly, a motion would be snared in his vision. A foot was rising from beneath him, directly for his unguarded genetalia. Masato's right hand being mid action for a strike would be too far away to change the future. The left though, the left would open up. Channeling chakra into the palm of his left hand, Masato would unleash a blast of wind chakra that would propel him to the right from his mid air pose.
This would not allow Masato to dodge the combination of Zhi's attack, but redirect it towards this left thigh. The three instantaneous kicks would deliver sharp blows to the muscular thigh. Two to the bottom of the thigh and one atop of it. He would flip head over heel, catching himself on his palm in a hand stand fashion and slide backwards, bringing himself to his feet. As he would plant his feet his left leg would tremble, nearly collapsing at first. He would not feel the pain from it, nor be deterred by the signs, instead Masato would ready himself. His thirst for battle overrode his pain any day.
As he assessed the two, he remained vigilant and onlooking. Taylor's strike would have most likely zapped Masato directly had he not moved himself with the propelling winds and landed several feet from its original trajectory. Instead, it looked as though Zhi would take the brunt of it if unguarded or she did not move herself to safety. Masato would continue to observe the movements of his foe. Clearly he had underestimated the young girl.

__ Zhi was a little disappointed at first that she didn't completely get Masato for ganging up on Taylor like that. Sure, she knew Taylor could probably take care of himself, or that at least Horus was there to support him. Also, from what brief contact she had made in that attack, she could feel that he'd hit her sempai pretty dang hard. Zhi would sense the prepared Lightning Ball from Horus in the midst of everything and planned to act accordingly. Zhi nimbly performed a backward handspring to evade the attack at the last moment, for the sake of showmanship. A second handspring further increased the distance and gave her the means to land with the grace worth of a perfect ten scoring. Zhi stood herself upright and suddenly gave the boys a playful salute. "Okay! I think I'm satisfied with the results of my training for the moment. I'm gonna go pay Kazekage-san-dono-sama a quick visit and continue my training! Thanks again Muscle-sempai, and Taylor and Horus! It was a lotta fun learning how to hit stuff!" As usual for Zippy, all of that was said in one breath before she suddenly vanished. A top-speed retreat would carry her away to her next destination. With this much. she had pretty much confirmed with her papa mentioned about taijutsu greatly boosting her personal strength. So far, it was all working out really well. At least they wouldn't have to feel a slowing drag on their bodies anymore with her gone.

Taylor landed as Zhi bolted off. That girl was like a cloud. Impossible to plant down. Still, that fight tired him out. He felt drained all of the sudden, but couldn't figure out why. His bones felt like they changed somehow. Did something happen? No, he could still feel the connection. It shifted, however. Did that Skeleton King do something? Taylor didn't have the time to argue the semantics of it. He needed to gather distance and fast in order to figure out what has changed. "I'm sorry, but I must be off." He snapped toward Masato. In a moment's time he was gone, as was Horus. When the two moved far enough away, Taylor started to feel his bloodline's power.
To begin, he took off all of his clothing aside from his underwear. Being almost naked did not bother him. He was used to having minimal to no clothing as a slave. Plus, considering the nature of his bloodline, he knew it was better to not have clothes. As he stripped, he did one last look around to make sure Masato was no where in sight. He should be fine. Although his teammate had those weird eyes, he was buildings away from the man, completely isolated from any would be viewers. There was no way that he could tell where he was. Not unless they had the power to sense chakra. Since the only person he knew could do that was off chasing the Kazekage, Taylor felt safe in training.
The first technique he performed was Dance of the Willow: Exertion. Taylor had bones erupt from his flesh. At first he had these bone spikes appear instinctively, but then had them come on command. As he made them and then return them, he extended them once more for the next move.
Taylor next practiced Dance of the Willow: Spin. He first leaned his body in the opposite direction of where he wished to move. He then pushed off with his back foot and propelled himself in the direction opposite in which he leaned. As he flew he spun, making him like an evil beyblade in the air. When he landed he prepped the next technique.
Taylor performed a single handseal. Chakra gathered to each of his bones. Then the bones shot out of his body. They moved fast. (Stage one of Kaguya bloodline learned)
Taylor next extended his right hand. A sword of bone emerged from his palm. Taylor grasped the sword as soon as it was formed. He then moved toward a swordsmen stance.
Taylor practiced the swing of his sword. He first practiced with one slash. Then he practiced with many slashes. The more effort he put, the faster he swung.
Taylor next practiced the thrust of his sword. He first practiced with one thrust. Then he practiced with many thrust. The more effort he put, the strong he thrusted.
Now Taylor readied his stance. He held his blade steady as he watched where he imagined his opponent. He pictured himself performing an attack which would ignore his opponent's ability to dodge. He was ready to make someone have a bad day. (Stage Two of Kaguya learned)
Next Taylor readied himself for the Dance of the Larch: Absolute Defense. He channeled chakra throughout his body. He allowed his body to be ready to work as an absolute defense. He did so well with this defense.
Next Taylor practiced the ten finger drill bullets. He fired bones from his fingers. This was familiar to him. He didn't need to practice this for long.
Finally, Taylor readied himself for Dance of the Larch: Devil's Top. He twirled on one foot as bones extruded from his body. Once he gathered enough momentum he fired himself forward. He became a little bladed tornado. He stopped after he traversed enough. (Stage Three of Kaguya Bloodline Learned)
Taylor next practiced the Dance of the Clematis: Bone Whip. Taylor reached into himself and pulled out his spine. That felt weird. He was able to make a bone whip though! That was cool.
With his whip, Taylor practiced the bear trap thing. He cranked his arm back and then threw his arm forward. The whip followed the motion of his arm. Then, when he pulled back, the rib cage closed up mid air.
Taylor next made a giant bone weapon. This was the Dance of the Clematis: Drill. This thing was heavy. Taylor imagined that he could do serious damage with this technique. He wondered when he would ever need it, however.
Finally, Taylor slammed his foot on the ground. This caused a vine of bone to erupt from the ground at the position Taylor desired. This was the Dance of Clematis: Vine technique. Taylor knew of this technique before. (Stage four of Kaguya learned)
While completely alone, Taylor allowed himself to learn a technique from his bloodline. The final dance; dance of the young ferns. Taylor applied chakra throughout his body which caused bone spikes to emerge. The spikes exploded from him and quickly enveloped the area into a forest of bones.
Once the bones kept sprouting, Taylor channeled his bones into the ground. Initially, he only had a small radius of his bone forest. To expand it further, he used his bones underground so that they sprouted even further from his body. The bone spikes then arose into larger spirals further from the base. Over a hundred of them existed now.
With all of the bone tendrils, Taylor practiced the next part of the ninjutsu. He fused with various bone structures and remerged from them. On and off he kept fusing and defusing to get used to the technique. It was the equivalent of walking through a door to him.
Of course, the final trick was to stay in the doorway. Once Taylor fused with the bone, he practiced how long he could stay before he had to emerge out of another. Initially he could only last a few seconds between the two bones. As he progressed, however, he continued to increase the time. By the end, he could stay merged as long as he desired, which caused him to dispel the technique.
Taylor next needed to learn the skeleton robes. This was going to give him an incredible boost with his bones. It would make them more combat focused. Not to mention, it would allow him to not train while naked. That was always a plus.
Taylor channeled chakra through his body. The chakra manifested into cruel looking robes which covered his body. They tightened around his frame to give him a sleeker look. Finally, a cape of bones blew from his shoulders. (Stage five of Kaguya learned)
Taylor next learned the Dance of the Blood Orchid, Inspirational Clone. Did he really have to learn this technique? He felt like he didn't know this before. Now he felt like he could learn it, however. Why? Who cares! Let's do it.
Taylor stepped to the side. A clone formed out of his skeletal system. Taylor felt weird looking at his skeleton clone. It looked so weird.
First the clone mirrored his actions. When Taylor raised an arm, so did the clone. Then, the clone listened to oral instructions. That was all he needed to know that it was a success.
Taylor next practiced the Dance of the Blood Orchid: Festival of the dead. Why did he know how to perform this? He didn't feel like he knew this before. This was so bizarre.
Taylor first practiced making bone limbs come out of his skeleton armor. He had bone arms with bone hands come from his bone shoulders. He then practiced moving around those bone arms and hands. He felt like he knew what he was doing.
Next, he had bone arms come out of the area around him. He pictured where he wanted a bone arm to come from. A bone arm came from that location. It was easy enough.
Finally, Taylor had to learn Dance of the Bloodline: Regeneration. Taylor was scared to learn this technique. It was going to hurt. Oh well, it was time to learn.
Taylor had his skeleton clone come closer to him. Taylor then made a bone sword come out of his right hand. The clone mirrored his actions. Then, the two sliced each other's arm off. It was absolutely painful.
Now that his arm was cut off, however, Taylor used his technique. Chakra flooded his body. His bone started to recover. Once a skeletal arm was formed, muscle formed over the bone. Then skin formed, and before he knew it, he had a brand new arm. That was intense. (Stage Six of Kaguya learned)
Now that Taylor practiced, he got dressed. It was nice to wear clothing. With all of his clothing on, he practiced meditation. He needed serious practice to catch up on what he felt like he lost. When he finished, he meditated again.
Taylor focused chakra into exactly one point. He focused that chakra so hard. It was truly a challenge. Once he finished, he felt validated. Taylor was now ready to find Masato again and apologize for leaving abruptly. (Concentrate: Twice but used x6 training coupons rather than spam words. Also did the B-ranked version of performance with all of the training that I did.)

Masato sighed as the two would break away, seeming to be satiated in their search for taijutsu knowledge. He would release his flame technique as well as his sharingan. ' Very well...' he thought, lowering his fists. He would move to the lake where he first trained his ability in the gates. He clenched his hand, gritting his teeth. "This..." he said aloud, trailing off. " This can't be all I am." he said again. He slammed his fist into the earth at the shore's edge. The strength of his fist would break away the earth and let it fall slowly into the lake beneath. The ripples distorted his image as he growled at his own frustration.
Taylor approached Masato as he viewed him looking over the lake. It was strange that Sunagakure, a village in a desert, had a lake next to the training grounds. It just proved that the village was training people to prepare for any sort of combat. Masato looked down on his luck, however. Maybe doing something fun will help? "Masato! Are you alright?" He called out. Horus flew above his head as he awaited a response.

"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Appearing with the fox in his hand and Morticia by his side, Theo would place the fox back on the floor, giving her a quick scratch behind the ears and spitting out another mouse chakra golem for her to chase around. He’d then look to Morticia before shrugging off his robe and hood, showing all the armor he wore underneath along with all the weapons he carried. :A lot of armor and weapons for someone that specializes in ninjutsu and long range combat, huh?” He’d laugh to himself as he reached back and pulled what looked like a foot long baton. Holding it in the middle vertically next to him,Theodin pressed the button that expanded the metal staff to its full seven foot length. Leaning lightly on the staff, Theo smiled as he looked the genin in the eye, “Alright,the style is called Kaze no Sentou, go grab the scrolls for it and we can get started. I know the techniques, but honestly don’t remember the order or names of them off the top of my head.” Theo would smile slightly embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head with the hand not on his staff.

Cinnamon was placed back on the ground as it lets out a surprised squeak from the travel but purred when she scratched her behind the ears. Cinnamon was seriously enjoyed being spoiled. Sure, Morticia spoiled her some but not too much, she was trying to teach Cinnamon that the world was always never fair. Let out an excited squeak she started to chase but Morticia grabbed her in time. Morticia was woozy for a bit from that but was stable the moment Cinnamon was going to chase the mouse. "Remember, when hunting, be quiet as much as possible." Cinnamon squeaked quietly before licking Morticia on the nose. "Ugh. Go on." She placed Cinnamon down who happily went after the mouse.
Looked back at the kind man, she then realized he had different color eyes. Huh. Interesting. Not many people in the world had that. But then, he took off his robe and hood and her eyes widen, just about to pop out of her head. "Holy ********. What the hell do you need all that armor for?" So surprised and stunned, she forgot her manners, "I mean, it's hot as hell and two, it can slow you down of course it's made of certain metal..." Morticia hopped back as he got out a foot long baton and it expanded. She pouted slightly. "Aw. That's awesome. Too bad right now, all she has was a simple wooden staff. She heard a loud crash and a loud squeak, it was Cinnamon letting her know that she was okay. At least Cinnamon was finally being quiet about it. "Yes Theo-san." Lifted the light wooden staff off of the ground, she headed towards the shelves and seeked for the Kaze no Sentou. Finding it, she placed it by the mat. "Found them!" She was increasingly getting excited and twitching more.
"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Theodin couldn’t help it, seeing Morticia’s eyes bug out made him bust out laughing for a bit. “Sorry, I dont mean to laugh, but that look was priceless. Anyway, I like to be prepared for close combat in case it comes up and this armor is designed to keep me cool as well as insulate me from the cold of my ice jutsu. Sadly I dont have the total cold immunity my dad does.” Theo would chuckle a bit, “Yea, I used to fight mostly with my swords until I got this... other than my ninjutsu of course...” When the girl got back with the scrolls, Theo grabbed the first couple and read over them real quick to refresh his memory. “Ok,lets start off with the basic stance and a block.” Theo would step forward slightly with his left foot and hold his staff in both hands with the front of it being at about his shoulder level and the back near his hip. “Alright, this stance is pretty simple, just keep your feet solid and the weapon up, it’ll even help the strength of your strikes some.” From there, Theodin would hold the staff out in front of himself horizontally, then vertically, “These are the two basic blocks, horizontal for stopping vertical strikes, and vertical for stopping horizontal strikes, don’t worry, the blocks get more practical and effective as you move through the style.” Theo would demonstrate the movements agin, then return to his normal resting posture and motion for Morticia to try the movements herself.

Morticia blinks and then shrugged. She doesn't mind when people laugh, it doesn't bother her. To be fair, if she saw someone reacting the same way, she would've done the same thing. She shivered just thinking about the cold. "I don't do cold well." It was an honest information and Morticia doesn't hold anything back. A slow blink wasn't noticeable as Theo grabbed couple of scrolls and started to read them over. She waited. Almost impatiently but she knew better than to rush him. Last time she rushed someone was her academy teacher and she learned her lesson the hard way.
Ugh. Of course the basic stance and block. Why was she not surprised she had to learn something so simple as that. She scolded herself mentally for thinking such a thing, everyone had to start somewhere and out of all people, Morticia knew that the best. Morticia step forward with her right foot instead of her left because her right foot was the strongest, holding her staff in both hands as well, the front of it at her shoulder level and the back near by her hip. She hobbled on her knees a bit to make sure her foot was solid. Yep. Felt solid to her. She held the bo staff out horizontally and then vertically, making sure her elbows are slightly bent. You would never want to straighten them, that could spell disaster. "Let's get down to business," Morticia started as she practiced it a bit more then stopped as she waited for Theo to correct her, if any or show her the next few stances.
[ Stage One of Kaze no Zougenoto: Fighting Stance and Basic Block Learned! ]
"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Theo would watch closely as Morticia took up the stance and practiced the block, “Good, good... and yea, most people here arent big fans of cold, though the ice can be a nice break from the extreme heat of the desert... sometimes my dad even makes snow cones, but he hasn’t don that in a long time now. “Theo would chuckle a bit, then smile as he walked over to the scrolls again to read the next few techniques. “Alright, now we got a pretty simple thrust with the butt of the staff,” Theo would return to the fighting stance he’d done before and thrust forward with the end of his staff before returning to the stance position. “you can also add a step before the strike, which can both help you close some distance with a skittish opponent and add a bit of momentum and force to the strike.” Theo would step forward quickly, rooting his stance back just as the jab would make contact if there were an enemy within range.” Theo would then spread his feet a bit more, a little wider than shoulder width, and bend his knees, “And here you got the firm stance, its slows you down a bit, but it gives you a more solid base for defensive techniques.” Theo would again return to his relaxed posture, leaning on his staff, and look to Morticia, “I know these are still pretty simple, but gotta start somewhere, give them a try.”

Morticia rose an eyebrow. While it was true that most people here aren't big fans of the cold, she disagree about how the ice can be nice break from the extreme heat. The heat never bothered her. He brought up his father as she figured that was his way of making conversation and nothing wrong with continuing that. "Ah. And who's your dad?" She questioned, assuming his father was a shinobi or just an ordinary citizen. Maybe even dead after the UHV attack.
It was back to the training, she shifted back to Fighting stance she had earlier before thrusting forward, coping Theo's move with the end of the stance and quickly returned to stance position, her grip loose but firm enough to hold onto the staff. He mentioned that he could always add a step and he wasn't wrong. With that in mind, she did it again, but this time shifted her right foot forward as the left was in the behind this time. Her teacher spread his foot a bit more, more than the shoulder width which was usually the rule of thumb when fighting and bent his knees. She followed, slightly bending her knees and she realized that she should really need to start stretching. Her hands was at side ways and she could see what he means, there was less openings, and she could always shift around, as so. Her left foot stayed the same but she moved her right foot and she was in different position but her knees was still bent and her foot was still more than shoulder width part. Slid her foot around she slowly rose and glanced towards Theo for his approval or suggestion on improvements.

"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Watching Morticia perform the second stage of techniques, he nodded softly as she was doing well, “Oh you saw my dad earlier at mom’s office .... errr... I mean the kazekage’s office,”Theo slapped himself in the face, he really needed to break the habit of just calling her mom around the lower ranking shinobi... “anyway... dad’s name is James,he’s the village’s head medic,... and was the really big guy in the doorway of the office. So what about you? What happened o your family? After giving her a minute to answer, Theo read over the techniques for the next stage of the style they were practicing. Alright, this is where things get a bit more fun. We’re gonna start off with some practice with spinning the staff,” Theo would hold his staff up and start spinning it around him from side to side so that the ends were a blur and a slight wind was generated. “And work on coming out of the spin with a solid control of the staff.” Theo would stop the spin suddenly as if he were striking, the end of the staff whipping slightly but the rest held solid in his grip. “Once you get a handle on that, we have what they call the weak stance, you’re not gonna get a lot of power from strikes from this position,but you can move fast if you need to.” Theo would stand square, feet shoulder width apart, and the staff held between his hands in front of him. Returning to the fighting stance, Theo would explain as he moved one step at a time, “Alright, the other techniques for this stage are a bit more combat oriented, you got the spin step,” Theo would pivot his front foot inwards and spin as he stepped behind his front foot , spinning hi staff as he went and ducking as if dodging an incoming attack, “You dont have to do the spin with the staff, I just like doing that, and the duck is optional if you need to avoid some kinda barrier or an attack coming at your head or something Then you have the sweeping block, probably the most often used block in most fights, it’ll let you more easily slap away both close range attacks and projectiles.” Theo would then swing his staff out in front of him in a large sweeping arc before spinning it back around to return to his stance and normal grip, he’d then perform a few basic strike looking movements as if to block smaller more up close attacks. “Then you got what the style referees to as the Whirlwind, it’ll let you defend against several incoming attacks or knock away projectiles, and finishes with whacking nearby enemies in the knees, making it harder for them to keep fighting.” Theo would then duck down slightly as he spun his staff rapidly over his head, then as he finished the spin he made two strikes at about knee level on either side. “And finally, lets work on channeling chakra through the staff and releasing it on impact.” Theo turned to the nearest training dummy and smacked it in the head with his staff, but this time instead of a hard thud,the side of the dummy’s head crumbled inas if it’d been hit with a large hammer. “Alright,that was a lot of stuff at once, but I think you can get it figured out pretty quick, so give it a try.” Theo said with a calm smile , resting the end of his staff on the floor by his right foot.

Morticia just outright looked confused. "Wait, that man was your dad? And she's your mom? I..." She paused for a moment, still confused. Explains it though, Theo does kind of look like his dad but he has his mother's eyes. "But the age..." Never in her life had she been so confused even when they tried to teach her genjutsu to see if she could learn it or not. The answer was no. Shook her head, she shrugged at Theo's question about her family. "Don't know, was dropped off at the orphanage 17 years ago."
Morticia made sure to take few steps back as Theo started to spin the staff around. She didn't want to accidently get smacked for being in the way. Although, she was 100% sure that Theo had full control but still, she wasn't sure what kind of teacher he was. Was he the kind that was, 'Learn your lesson now did you?' or was he more of, 'Please step few steps back so you won't get hurt?' He seemed a bit of both. Her eyes glanced towards Cinnamon real quick to make sure she was around and okay, and all she saw was a frustrated fox, pouncing on something. Cin must be trying to lure the mouse out. With a shrug, she glanced back towards him. Morticia always love staffs since she was young so the spinning wasn't going to be too hard. "Okay." She said with a smile as she started to spin the staff and even do a few of the tricks she learned by herself. Spun the staff from side to side as she did a twirl, jumped off the ground, a flip, her legs followed the staff as she landed and spun some more before doing an outward fast and sharp strike in the air. She really does like fighting with the staff. Tish watched him plant his feet rather weakly, that makes sense. She can see how the knees were bent in case he was ready to go, fight or flight basically. With a nod, the stormy grey hues gal planted her feet, bent the needs and relaxed her muscles as well loosen it so her feet wasn't firm to the ground. The staff was up almost at the arm level. Then she took a step forward as she spun it once again, her hands slide down slightly at the staff as she created an arch over head, would would be good to hit whatever was coming for her. Her hands was loose but tight enough to maintain the grip, her muscles, while barely there, was strong and slightly tight. Tish seemed to be completely focused and maybe even enjoying herself. Quickly, she pivoted forward and does a duck. With her height, she would probably need to learn to do that now and then as well back dodge if there comes a time she would had to use it. Another duck as she spun the staff over her head as fast as she could, she could feel her arms slightly burning from all the work they were doing to her muscles. Remembered to breath slowly and deeply, she could feel a bit of sweat but that's not bothering her. She likes to work hard. Without losing a beat, she aimed for the 'enemy' knees if there was one there, with force that would surely make it hurt and sting for quite some time. Now there was this last part. The chakra one. She could feel the energy vibrated through her staff as she hit the chest of the dummy, the impact was strong and loud, but nothing compared to Theo. Took a step back, Tish frowned a little bit. She's not as fast and strong as Theo was that was for sure. How long would it take for her to get up to where she wanted to be damn it? Her grip tightens on the staff for a moment as she got lost in her little world for a bit.
