time 3

Clearly holding back, the young Servant tries his best to make sure Seven knows what she's doing. Armored underneath his jacket, he's able to parry her strikes with his own arms, striking them.

Green mana flows freely from his form, though, and it almost seems peculiar as it flows out slowly- almost on purpose- before it then began to slow her own reaction time.

At times, cosmic dust flows from his form- and bursts through the floor in a blast of starfire.

Even through all of this, it's very labored and held back by the Felinae.

"You're doing OK," He spoke, pausing. "I just have more experience." He spoke, twirling his fingers as..

A dozen green orbs flow, manifestations of broken timestreams as they collide with her. Painless, but certainly making her weary. Yuumi was sure not to deal any actual damage and to instead wear her down.
(Yuumi Ivaniss)
"How...How are you doing all of this?"

She pants, she was exhausted, she could feel her movement grow sluggish, but the feeling was different than just wearing herself out. It was like being underwater, and at the same time her sense dulled with each blow that she took.

"Damn it!"

She quickly put her hands to her mouth, looking around and being surprised at herself for her foul language. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that!"
(Séven)
In a moment, when he can tell that perhaps, his sway over time around them had gone too far, it's lifted almost immediately!

Her perception of time is restored, along with her hope and optimism.

"Time magic." He spoke, pausing. He stares forwards, for a few moments, before breathing in lightly. "It lets me stretch the seconds around us, or shrink them.. To attack you easier!" He declared.

Even so, he seemed casual- and harmless- about it.

"Just a simple trick I learned, though. I'm Yuumi," he introduces, as he stepped forward and offered out a hand!
(Yuumi Ivaniss)
Séven asks, "Time?"
Séven asks, "Time Magic?"
Séven asks, "Time itself?"
Yuumi Ivaniss says, "Yeah."
Séven asks, "Yuumi, I'm Seven...and could time help me speed up to a point where I already know everything?"
Séven laughs loudly
(Séven)
Yuumi Ivaniss says, "Ahaha! No, probably not..."
Yuumi Ivaniss says, "It's not good to actually use on the mind."
Séven asks, "Where do I start?"
Yuumi Ivaniss asks, "Start with what?"
Séven asks, "Can you time travel?"
Séven asks, "Could I...reverse time?"
Yuumi Ivaniss says, "You CAN try and reverse time.. A little bit. To undo damage."
Séven says, "what about ALL of time"
Séven laughs
(Séven)
Yuumi Ivaniss says, "Nope, probably not.. It's not good on a widescale."
Séven asks, "Well, how do I start?"
Séven asks, "What do I do?"

Yuumi Ivaniss asks, "Oh, you wanna learn?"
Francois cos Duran whispers something.

Cristóvan whispers something.

Séven nods with enthusiasm
(Séven)

Nodding along, he puts his hands together and stares forwards, almost blankly.

He didn't know how to teach, very well. But since he'd practically copied her magic.. It wouldn't be hard for him to try and copy the woman's teaching style.

Staring down at Seven, he raises a finger.

"So, the first thing we're going to work on then.. Is an understanding! Think of time in seconds, rather than hours, for now. We want to try and manipulate this." He declares, pausing.

"It goes tick-tick-tick-tick.. and we want to try and make them longer.. like tick, tick, tick, tick."

It likely didn't make sense, but he was trying his hardest here! He was anything but a teacher.

"..If that makes any sense, of course. We want to use our mana, and our magic.. to try and do that. Breathe it into life, let your mana influence your imagination!" The retainer beamed. "It's the basis of metaphysical magic. Altering reality."
(Yuumi Ivaniss)
The lesson was strange, but it didn't matter, she wasn't going to argue when she knew literally nothing of the art in general. She slowly started to acclimate herself to thinking about time in seconds rather than days or hours or even minutes.

"Tic, Tic, Tic"

Was she doing it right? Hopefully she was following his direction to a tee, all she knew was that she had to at least do everything she could to make sure that this opportunity was not wasted by any means.

"Tic, Tic, Tic, Tic, Tic"

Already the repitation made it hard to focus, but she had to put her mind to it and try her best to make sure that her attention was only focused on counting.

"Tic, Tic, Tic, Tic, Tic, Tic....Tic"

She wouldn't bother asking if she was doing it right, she knew that she had to be consistent, and he would speak and correct any mistakes she was making as she continued to tic.
(Séven)

Yuumi's teaching skills weren't great, regardless..

But he was trying very hard!

He nods, as she speaks.

"..Right, so we're trying to make the seconds last longer!" He declared, pausing. He breathes in lightly..

"We're going to extend our mana out, like when you put the mana into your sword. Put it into the air and dream of it being slow." He explained, pausing as he reached into his bag.

"..I'm gonna throw these strips of jerky at you, and you're going to try and slow down time so they aren't fast. Okay?" He declared, before taking a step back.

Truth be told, he did have the bag of jerky.

"I find it easier with an example. It's hard to do it with nothing to think of slowing down, right? Slow down what I throw at you! Extend your mana, make time slow around you, and then stop the food!" He finished.

.. And with that, he begins to throw pieces of pork jerky at her. Wow. So mean. Perhaps it's time to exercise her expert chronomancy!

Séven rolled a dice and it landed on: 2
"Ok, Ok"

Tic, tic, tic, tic,

She had to envision it being slowed mid flight. Her control over he mana was never something that she had focused on from outside of her body and weapons, this was new for her and it was going to be difficult to pull off the first time but she wasn't going to give up.

She could smell the smoked meat as it flew closer and closer to her face. She focused deeply, each second passing they were getting closer and closer, her focus tightening, the sweat on her brow starting to drip to the floor before...

*doink*

The jerk bopped her right in the noggin, right as she thought she was going to get the hang of using this form of magic.

"DARN IT"
(Séven)
With that, all Yuumi does is throw the piece of jerky through the air. He hopes for a flash of green light, as the influence of time magic is breathed into life- slowing down the jerky, and maybe even caught..

.. Instead, it bonks her on the head and falls to the floor.

"..That's alright. Maybe I'll show you an example this time.." He spoke, pausing. He flicks another piece of jerky into the air, and wiggles his fingers as it flies- green mana envelops it, and it slows down..

Then, it flits back into his hand, as if the throw had never happened.

"..Alright, so think about it slowing down. Think of the ticking clock, and the ticks getting slower.. slower.. slower.." He declared once more.

"..Ready? Here we go!" He spoke, once more tossing the jerky through the air like a homing missle toward her.
(Yuumi Ivaniss)

LOOC - Yuumi Ivaniss: (round 2!

Séven rolled a dice and it landed on: 4

She took deep breaths, feeling her sense and the air itself grow still, her focus was much more tight. She didn't want to be this ragdoll to be beat on and this was the stat of a new path...or maybe a different trail on the same path.

Regardless, she looked at the jerky, she watch, her mind projecting her mana outward, like she did naturally with her benevolent nature. Rather than feeling like a strained tightness, she felt serene, as if rather than time itself slowly, but her reaction time increasing.

The jerk looked so slow flying through the air, slow enough to move her entire head out of the way as she watched it fly past...

But it didn't fly past, not in the way that she expected. In the ear, it twirled slowly, she reached her hand out to touch at amazement, but her excitement broke her focus, and in that instant the jerky sling shots forward from it's nearly mid air suspension from her own doing.


"OH MY GOODNESS!"

"DID YOU SEE THAT?"
(Séven)

Crouched down, he watches as the flung jerky begins to slow down, and is reanimated in real-time as she touches it. He nods along! Perfection.

"..Yeah! Yeah, good job." He declared, pausing as he came to a stand. He slowly steps forwards and stares at the teen for a few moments before flashing a smile at her.

"..Seven! You now know how to stretch time and make seconds last longer.. So, I'm going to go keep working until I can teach you how to use the same spells that I do-- and then I'll teach you more!" He explained, reaching out and offering her.. One of the strips of jerky!

"Congrats, you earned it."
(Yuumi Ivaniss)
