Lightning 3

[17:36] Adrielle noticed a small, narrow open space with a bench in the forefront.

"Well, the coast seems to be clear. Now is perhaps as good a time as any to take a brief rest and hold a training session afterwards."

He smiled warmly as he spoke to the group, drawing a small carton of water from beneath his cape and to his lips to take a small swig.

"Yvel, and the red haired cadet.. what is it that you two specialize or aim to specialize in?"
(Adrielle Solenne)
[17:41] Vaeltus allows his brother to take the lead in their current rounds, he needed the experience after all. He followed along as a leisurely pace, glancing around the surrounding areas along the way.

He watched his brother clean up a bit of trash on the streets and merely rolled his eyes, their job was to keep the streets clean... So he was correct, in a way.

"You shouldn't treat your blade so poorly, you know. It's not for stabbing THAT kind of trash" he said with a frown.

Finally reaching the end of their patrol, as they were nearly done for the day already, Vaeltus followed the group into the clearing and took a place on the bench nearby, letting out a sigh of relief that their rounds were finally done.

Allowing his brother to take the lead in the upcoming training session, the knight pulled out his notebook from his bag. It was cramped with all sorts of information. Notes of the town, the areas, and the people. But it mostly consistedof his own personal written works of poetry. Flipping to one such a page he begins scribbling down new lines beneath old existing ones as he waits for his brother to finish his questioning.

"Hm..."
(Vaeltus Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17:56] Yvel wasn't quite sure what he could muster at this point but he had been working intently on perfecting his Lightning magic Yvel stood up and began to demonstrate what he knew.

"Okay I can only create a small discharge, Its not strong but I was able to send one of those really tough boars running with it!"

Yvel leaped off the bench and demonstrated his abilities. An Air current began to swirl and dance around him, And as the wind pressure began building soon small blue sparks started to crackle and pop in the area around him, Yvel watched as Jullia effortlessly fired off her spells and as the water splashed the lightning jumped towards it.

and the flurry of air currents surrounding Yvel dissipated, The young man didn't look too exhausted clearly he had been getting more and more used to the discharge of lightning through his training but it wasn't an easy feat!

"Beyond swirling winds together that's about as much as I can do so far!"

(Yvel Endore)

[18:03] Vaeltus pauses his scribbling and looks up as each of the members of their group stood up to display their proficiency in their various magics.

He nodded in approval, each had the potential to be great but they all lacked experience. It would come in time.

"I see you all seem to focus more on magical ability rather than physical strength. The key to strength is to seek a balance of the two..."

He pauses in his sentence for a moment as a thought comes to mind before his eyes drop down from their company and return to his notebook where he begins writing once more. Without stopping he finishes his previous thought, "All the magic in the world will do you no good should the opponent be faster than you. Or strong enough to end you with a single blow."

He pauses once more to write another line.

"That's just my opinion, anyways."
(Vaeltus Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:03] Adrielle watched the bunch execute their spells to the best of their abilities, he was impressed by their potential - of course in his days in The Order he'd seen some extremely impressive magic, but gauging off of their current standing it was enough for him to enjoy watching.

"Certainly not terrible, but of course you all know you have a long way to go. I'd intended on having you all do some physical workouts but it seems you're all intending to have a stronger focus on your abilities as magi so.."

The teen paused for a moment as he scanned between the group of trainee. He hummed a bit as he considered the potential training regimens they could undertake.

"Alright, for now we'll keep it simple, but it'll still be challenging. Today we'll focus on control and capacity training. Each of you will conjure a simple spell and hold it in manifestation for as long as you are able to, and then you'll do it again - and continue to do so until you're able to hold it in place at least one time longer than the first time."

He smirked a bit, it would definitely be intense considering their first time would likely drain them exponentially and to outdo that would be unlikely - but the first attempt and each after would certainly serve to increase their capabilities for their further efforts.
(Adrielle Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:16] Yvel studied the words the man spoke and shot up from the bench once more excited. To give a little display of what he could do. Although physical training never bothered him he had always loved jogging around the city and keeping up his physical dexterity, Despite not being much of a close range physical fighter.

"Okay! I'll do my best then, I'm not sure how long I can hold it for but I suppose this is the kind of training I'll have to do to get stronger!" Yvel guided his hands through the air currents feeling them flowing like ribbons he picked the strongest and most torrential of the bunch,

In his mind he imagined the flowing currents of wind like Ribbons, And as he bound them together with his mana they only made the knot tighter and tighter, Building up the kinetic energy within the space between his hands.

The spinning sphere of 'Ribbons' continued to flow and as Yvel gave an exhale he began to imagine those ribbons vibrating the kinetic energy being transformed into pure energy. Matching the flow and precision of his winds and with a guided thrust Yvel shot forth a small discharges of lightning the ribbons of air flow now transformed into sparking charges of deadly lightning!

"Oh geez this is harder than I expected it to be! Keeping my mana focused on one spell definitely takes a lot out of me..." Yvel continued to persist though, Lightning flickered and crackled around him and each influx of willpower only caused the sparks to grow more wild. Luckily he stepped back from the crowd and especially from the two practicing water magi.

Yvel's first attempt allowed him to hold the dancing streaks of lightning for about 5 seconds before they faded but even then Yvel could begin to feel his hands grow a little numb as the spike in power jumped significantly.

"I'll keep going! I know have more in me than that!" the boy smiled his eyes reflected a deep green color almost as if it reflected when he channeled his air magic a strange trait indeed! He used the same method, gathering the ribbons to create and gather energy and then exploded it into Lightning holding the streaks contained for but a second longer before they fizzled out once more.

(Yvel Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[18:28] Adrielle watched over the bunch with a soft smile. Each of them had excelled past what he'd expected of them, perhaps they'd been underestimated. It was time to comment and tutor. His glare fixated on the blonde haired boy first.

"Yvel, you did a great job attuning into the lightning element, it's a magic that will take a great deal of time to adjust to physically as you can tell - you'll need to slowly build a resistance to it over time. Continue to practice bit by bit on your own and you'll be where you want to be in a matter of time." nodding he'd veer his attention over to Gretta.

"Gretta, you've come a long way since we first met. A shy girl straying from the slums with little idea of what your abilities were and even less of an idea as to how to condense it to be useful to your own cause. I'm not sure what training you've undertaken since joining The Order but keep striding forward - I'm proud of what I've seen today, that said you still have a lot of work to do." with a smile he'd finally shift his attention to Julia.

"Last but not least, Julia - you came into this hoping you'd be able to attune to the ice element. Of course you were already on the right path by sharpening your abilities as a water magi, and from what I've seen today you've taken even further strides by sheer willpower alone."

Adrielle inhaled deeply before continuing.

"You each have a great deal of potential, and a great deal of a journey ahead of you - keep working hard as you've done today and you'll each be where you want to be." he drew his arm upward and pointed his fingers towards his head.

"Keep a clear goal in mind, and a defined path on how you intend to reach these goals and nothing can stand in your way."

Finally he'd exhale and continue.

"Are and of you up to spar any of the other trainee before we conclude this session?"
(Adrielle Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:33] * You have been awarded 3 Roleplay Points! *
[18:36] Julia looked around at the other trainees around her as she began to ponder if she wanted to spar with any of the people here. She wasn't really sure at that moment, she didn't know them well enough to know if they would be actually up for a spar. She stood there thinking about it for a while as she took occasional sips from her water flask. "To be honest I don't really know my fellow trainees well enough to know what would happen in a spar, I don't want to accidently hurt them badly or vise versa. But, if any of you want to spar me, then I guess I will accept for it would be nice to get a test of skills."

At the last part of her statement she walked back to the bench and proceeded to sit down drinking a bit more from her flask before realizing that it was empty. So, she used her magic to refill the flask this time the water was colder then before, and didn't feel like she was about to burn her mouth with the water. She then put the flaskaway and continued to look back and forth from amongst the other trainees. Feeling a bit unsure about what she was going to do after the training session ended.

She decided if no one actually wanted to spar then she would head out into the woods and practice a bit on the boars of the area, instead of just trying to neutralize the potential threat. She wanted to try and freeze them or slow them in a icy blast of cold water. She had no idea if she would be capable of doing that, but it would be a good time to train herself on something that wouldn't be a problem to kill.
(Julia Voss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:39] Her hand fell down, a sigh coming out of her lips, relieve from the hard work she had been subdued to, it was in fact some good training, never before she had thought on such methods, but it was indeed great, it was tiring, yet rewarding...

As for wasting the energy he just channeled, Grella pointed her hand towards the skies and threw out a huge, powerfull blast of 'yellow-like' mana worthy of many minutes of chanelling and focusing, she was so exhausted at the end of the lesson that she fell on, sat completelly tired.

"Huuhf! I-i guess this spar will be a little bit harded... Well, i mean, we must tire ourselves, so it's fair! I bet everyone here is sweating a little, right?!" Quickly she got up, staff in hands, yet clearly sweating from the effort given before...

Her staff rose up and she was simply ready to test on what she just learned... For some reason, after chanelling it all, Grella felt more protected, blessed and confident in a fight...

"I am up if anyone of you want to know how Strong you are!"
(Grella)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:41] Listening to Adrielle's words were inspiring if not helpful, He would have subject himself more to learn how to best utilize his lightning, Yet even as he was training he thought of ways he could expand on this ideal. Lightnings numbing effects would be a great way to subdue foes at some point he thought to himself.

Yvel thought about the idea of a spar and he had never really been in combat against humans, For most of his life he had always fought against wild beast and his siblings, But to spar against other cadets who were aspiring to become knights was something he'd put his all into.

"I don't mind! of course my magic isn't as powerful as most I intend to give it my all none the less!"

Yvel took the magic staff from his back hosting it up, His eyes shimmering a deep color of green as he continued to channel the air magics and the currents around himself.

Yvel looked towards Julia with a passion in his eyes. "Oh come now don't be that way! We're all aiming to achieve the same goal of course we'd be willing to improve through combat! Of course we'll agree to stop short of hurting or scaring eachother but lets do what we can to improve our abilities and no hard feelings about it!"

Yvel said this with a smile in on his face and as he turned his body he'd look towards Grella who seemed ready to go as well.

"Haha that's the spirit! My name is Yvel Endore by the way lets do our all to become great Knights and serve the Stars and Protect the Kingdom!"

(Yvel Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:43] Adrielle chuckled a bit at the enthusiasm and continuity of the bunch, surely they were worn down by now.

"Well, let's have it be Yvel and Grella for now. If Julia feels comfortable afterwards and the others feel like continuing we'll go from there."
(Adrielle Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:44] Vaeltus Solenne says, "A simple solution, brother."
[18:44] Yvel Endore exclaims, "Very well!"
[18:44] Adrielle Solenne says, "Start as you please. The area is a bit small and narrow, but consider it training."
[18:45] Vaeltus Solenne says, "You will never pick the terrain in real combat. He's right. Consider it part of the experience."
[18:45] Adrielle Solenne says, "Right."
[18:46] Julia Voss says, "Well if you are a strategist then you hopefully can make any terrain work to your advantage."
[18:47] Grella clapped on her hands, her coat of Mana instinctively becoming more aggresive as she was getting herself ready for a fight, spreading her legs on to slide on a stance, she held her staff and took a sight, analizing her opponent... That would be the first time Grella was to channel magic from that Phoenix Rod.

"Yeah, i'm Grella... Just Grella, hehe! Cadet of the Order Of the First Light, currently not realy under any company! I hope we have a decent fight." Even though showing confidence, she had reasons to worry about her abilities as she lacked knowledge with Water magic...

...The rest? Was simply experience. She had to fight before, it was just the first time she was to face a Magi, she had a reason to keep her guard up.
(Grella)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:49] Yvel took a combative stance, His smile not being removed from his face but his eyes being filled with a vibrant determination to show off a little of what he's been practicing, The currents of air whipped around him as a thin veil of mana shrouded his body, The membrane quickly being influenced by the winds and crackling in the air with small sparks of lightning magic flickering here and there.

Yvel wasn't sure how long he'd last against the woman but he knew he'd give it his all otherwise! He had learned a few spells from his tome prior so he was feeling a bit more enthusiastic about the battle but one could never be too over confident after all!

"Lets do our best to improve, I won't hold myself back from showing you my moves!" Yvel said and as he did the 'ribbons' of air currents began to flow around him, After a introducing mana to them they soon began to streak and spark into small amounts of lightning curled together within his wind.
(Yvel Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:49] Adrielle nodded towards Julia, her comment was indeed correct, then he shifted his attention towards the spar as he took a seat on the bench. The teen propped his elbows against his knees and rested his chin upon his hands as he paid close attention to the spar at hand.
(Adrielle Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:49] Vaeltus looks up from his notebook as the two opponents square off against each other. This is what training was about for him! The thrill of combat. Strength and technique pitted against one another. The true measure of a man is how skillful they were in battle. He grinned as they began, pausing in his writings.
(Vaeltus Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:51] Adrielle Solenne says, "Hmm.."
[18:57] Both Grella and Yvel gave it their all! A quick whip to the face would leave Yvel knocked off balance, Followed by a sholder tackle to the ground made him tumble over, It wasn't a good start to the match and all...Had he not used the mana ripple to quickly evade the next set of attacks it probably would've been him knocked on the ground.

But as the fight continued Yvel conjured stronger and more potent gusts of Air magic to repel Grella's attacks, Small sparks of lightning mingled within to ensure the water magi's attacks would only be a tool to conduct his attacks against her.

With an extra step added Yvel gathered the Air Ribbons and formed them into a spinning twister around his leg, The force of the attack only grew more and more potent as he moved towards Grella firing off a number of kicks with his Air enchanted legs.

A well placed jab of his staff forced her to the ground, The tingling of lightning perhaps still buzzing around her body."Geez you got me good, I gotta be more careful in my positioning" he nodded as he gathered himself for the next round.

The air currents still dancing within his mana, Small vibrations of lightning gathered around him, He was feeling the most alive hes felt in a long time...without needing to worry of the hardships of war or debt he could now freely pursue his goals.
(Yvel Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:57] Adrielle Solenne says, "Well done, both of you."
[18:58] Vaeltus Solenne says, "Indeed."
[19:01] Adrielle took to a standing position, clapping as he did so - a warm smile spread across his cheeks.

"I'm proud of you both - I know it took a lot out of you to hold a spar after training, but like my brother said this all serves to be good experience."

Concluding he'd turn to his brother.

"Well, I guess with that we've come to our conclusion. Perhaps it's time we finish making our rounds and go do some training of our own?"

Afterwards he'd turn back to the trainees.

"You're more than welcome to accompany us further on our patrolling if you'd like, but if you'd prefer to go rest we understand."
(Adrielle Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:02] The Young girl rose her staff and engaged in battle, beholding the fury of a Wind magi for the first time, her attacks were clearly much more powerful than that of what he age could have said, having enough force to almost win the fight many times if the older Teenager wasn't skilled and smart enough to defend her advances.

Their natural force was already big enough to scare even big guys when it comes to raw damage, with the staff and her shroud, then? The Young girl was certainly much more than what her apppearance showed...

Atleast for the strength part, having the frail body she does, not many attacks were needed to make her retrat on her advance, many times taking steps back to avoid being hurt and hoping to trick her foe on his own advances, while her mighty whips and ripples were Strong enough to force him to off his feet and lose balance once or another, it wasn't enough to put an end to the fight, yet still enough to put him on a danger line, probably a rush or two to finish the fight...

She got up with the help of her staff and help it tightly, ready for another round, where she could hear something calling for her spirit, something giving her courage to stand and keep fighting, her will rose up and she got ready for the second round.

"R-ready..."
(Grella)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:04] Vaeltus nodded at his brothers question. They still needed to finish up another round of patrolling, it was getting late.

"It's always a pleasure to help others better themselves. Even if my brother had the honor of the training this time around. It was a joy to witness."
(Vaeltus Solenne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:10] It was quite the bout and Yvel gave no quarter to his opponent but he still did his best to keep up with her movements, counter attack and let out a burst of Air and condensed lightning towards her as he saw fit.

Yvel felt he had acquired a lot with training with the two knights it would indeed help him in the days to come to better his abilities and to improve upon his ideals. He now felt a bit more secure in his objective to become a Knight.

"You did marvelous Miss. I can tell in the days to come we will both be great protectors of our beloved city." As the two knights claimed they were off to do another patrol Yvel thought it was about time he'd head back to his home as well.

"I think I'll be heading back to Messaris. its been quite the experience training along side you both Adrielle, Vaeltus I think you both greatly for the experience and things you taught me today, I hope to soon join the ranks of the Order so I can further myself in studies of magic and to protect all of Esshar."

With that said the exhausted boy would look towards Grella who had been doing quite well in her studies as well."Until next time Miss, Please come see me if you ever wish to spar again!"
(Yvel Endore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
