Training the next generation (OPEN!!)

[Chad & Nappy & Dagger]

Chad was about to answer Sindre question to his question but unexpectedly got hit in the jaw. He let out a slight grunt before turning to Ulrika. ”You got some punch there Ulrika.” But as soon as he said this, he felt the sword get lifted from his dagger and onto his other shoulder. He smiled and backed up a bit, turning to where he could see both. ”Timeout.” He said as he sheathed his sword and made a T with his hands. With that accomplished, he stuck his dagger in his boot and turned to the girls. ” That punch was perfectly fine. Yes, it hit me, but I’ve had harder hits from full out brawls so don’t worry yourself if you think you might get in trouble.” He said with his focus on Ulrika. Then he turned to Sindre. ”Since you hit my shoulder, I will put that arm, which was my left if I am correct, behind my back.” As he said this, he lifted that hand and put it behind his back. ”If I try to use this hand at all, you girls automatically win. In reference to the dragons, I was thinking they could do some flight training with themselves. Nappy knows a bunch of aerial maneuvers that he could possibly teach to Frostbite if that would be fine with you?”

Nappy looked at Chad and Sindre hopefully since he hadn’t taught maneuvers in a long time. Dagger on the other hand wanted no part of that so he stayed in the shadows sleeping. With that being said and once he got the girls reaction his face remained neutral as he said, ”Time in!”. He swung first at Ulrika, and then at Sindre, hoping that he made contact with at least one of the girls arms.

[sindre]

Sindre sighed happily when her sword came into light contact with Chad, and instantly stepped back, anticipating a counter-attack or something like that. Instead of this, he stepped backwards and declared a timeout. Right when it was getting good! Huffing, Sindre lowered her sword and focused on her teacher in slight disappointment. He complimented, in her opinion, Ulrika’s direct punch, which wasn’t really surprising since it was a good hit. When he explained his motives behind the dragons training together (or Frostbite and Nappy since Dagger seemed to be sleeping in the shade), Sindre nodded enthusiastically and turned to Frostbite. “You heard that right?” she called cheerily to the Polar Serpent who shifted begrudgingly into a standing position, seemingly muttering under her breath. “Yup, well off you go then!”

Frostbite yawned widely before taking a few bounding leaps to gain momentum and launching herself into the sky. She flapped a few times to gain height, but then rode the thermals and waited for Nappy to join her for whatever he had in store. Sindre smiled again, before turning to Chad, in time for him to say “Time in!” and bring his sword down towards Ulrika. She didn’t have time to see if he hit or not, for she had instinctively dropped to the ground. Realising this was a bad idea, Sindre scrambled ungracefully away from Chad and his sword, coughing and wheezing at all the dust and sand she kicked up in the process. Eyes watering slightly, Sindre jumped to her feet and squinted at Chad and Ulrika, not really knowing what to expect.

Notes: I'll reply to Flying Practice later on today c:

[Ulrika]

Ulrika beamed at the compliment the teacher gave, but she was slightly disappointed that it wasn't as hard as other punches he had received in the past. She made a note to do more muscle-training for the next lesson.

Ulrika listened intently to Chad's advice, especially the part about dragons, hoping to remember the tactics for future reference, for when she would get a dragon herself... if she could get a dragon. Aerial maneuvers... nice.

Before she could do anything else, Chad made the signal for time in, and took a swing to Ulrika. Although surprised, she still managed to pull up her sword in time to avoid being hit. However the force of the blow made her fall back onto the ground.

"I'm not dead yet! I'm not dead yet!" Ulrika protested, disconnecting the two blades and rolling out of the weak position she was in. She quickly regained her footing further aside, keeping the all-imporant eye-contact with Chad.

For a moment, Sindre had disappeared, but popped out of a small cloud of dust behind Chad. Ulrika smirked. "Get him now!" She remembered how calling out would allow the opponent to be ready - Ulrika hoped he would turn around to deflect any potential oncoming sneak-attack from Sindre again, then strike Chad with his back turned. That was her little plan, anywho.

[Chad & Nappy & Dagger]

Chad nodded to Nappy as the dragon waited for his approval. As soon as he got that head bob, he took a couple steps, unfurled his wings and flapped until he was in the air nest to Frostbite. The bones on his wings rattled slightly when a gust of wind would hit him, but other than that, all bones stayed perfectly still. ”So Frostbite. What exactly do you know about flying? I mean, of course you know about flying but what kind of maneuvers do you already know? That way I’m not teaching you anything you already know.” The BoneKnapper looked at her as he flapped his wings. Not lifting any higher or losing altitude, he maintained perfect balance.

Chad smiled as Ulrika flung herself back up after falling to the ground. She knew how to counter act attacks (or didn’t realize it) by nice defensive maneuvers. Sindre on the other hand was now behind Chad which he noticed put him at a slight disadvantage. Seeing that both sides of him were open, as Ulrika spoke he jumped to this side and turned so that he was facing them. He smiled before swinging his sword at Sindre. He watched it though to make sure that she didn’t step into it of else she could seriously get hurt. The blade wasn’t dulled that much, just enough that it could cause a tiny scratch. But if someone stepped into a swinging blade, you never knew what could happen.

He titled the blade slightly at the last second since he had been heading straight for her arm. Not thinking she would be able to counter fast enough, the blade came at her legs. The corner of his eyes watched Ulrika for any sudden movement though. His feet ready to take steps to whatever side needed to be taken. ’And this is where I wished I had my other arm and dagger still.’ His dagger he had thrown next to Dagger glittered in the sun and he huffed as his “broken off” arm moved to a more comfortable position.

[sindre]

As she flapped her large, bat-like wings to gain more height, Frostbite was joined by the bone-clad Nappy who instantly launched into questions concerning her flying abilities. Just by looking at the Boneknapper made it obvious he himself was a great flier; his bones made no sound for the most part as he kept perfect balance in the sky. “Just a few.” She drawled, voice containing a hint of snide. “Barrel rolls, loop-the-loops, pitchbacks, defensive spirals, pitch turns…” She trailed off, suggesting that the list went on for a bit more.
Having caught Chad in a bad position, Sindre found herself in the perfect opportunity to quickly swing her sword down onto her teacher’s shoulder. Just as she started to raise her sword however, the man had jumped into a more comfortable position as Ulrika shouted for her to attack him. Now he was facing both of them, and before she could even think about what to do next there was a blur of glinting silver as a sword was deftly swung towards her arm. Sindre had never really had that good reaction times, and now she had lowered her sword she found herself with no protection. Being naïve enough to think that she wouldn’t be too badly hurt in a training session, even when a swinging sword was in the question, she simply watched in amazement as Chad aimed for her arm. But then, the blurred silver was directed towards her legs instead, where it clanged against her limp sword with a harsh echoed sound.

Blinking as if dazzled, Sindre straightened her arm and attempted to make it seem like she had actually responded to anything that Chad had done. The brown-haired girl then attempted to twist the blade away from her leg with one arm; not exactly a fair match. Quickly realising that her teacher was obviously going to be a lot stronger than her, Sindre grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands as she pushed Chad’s sword upwards. As soon as the metal was lifted a suitable distance from her, she disconnected the two clashing swords and stepped back to get away from any counter attack he could have up his sleeve.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I never noticed that you'd replied. xP))

[Ulrika]

(Sorry i'm a little low on ideas XD)

---

With Chad attacking Sindre, Ulrika was left at the sidelines, but she was determined to beat Chad. With Chad's attack, he was no longer facing the both of them, but it was clear he was keeping an eye out for any actions she made.

She wondered if she stood squarely behind Chad, she would either become invisible, or Chad would move to see her, releasing his sword and strength from Sindre's own weapon. Side-stepping quickly to the desired position, she then lunged, attempting to tap the backside of Chad's knee with the flat side of her sword. Ulrika hunted animals a lot for the family, she knew where weak parts of the body were, more or less through translation. Despite her confusion with the Achille's tendon, she was unknowing that the tendons behind the knee could also be a devastating blow.

~If Chad doesn't block the attack~

"Haaa, I got you!" Ulrika cheered in triumph. It would mean that Chad would have to hop awkwardly, or be downed. She took a few steps back, holding herself triumphantly, her sword slung over her shoulder casually. She forgot that one should always be ready for an unexpected attack, and let her guard down.

"I totally saved you Sindre, that's pretty cool too!" Ulrika finally remarked, seeing as Chad would pretty much be useless if he continued to battle in such a state.'And they call me hopeless', Ulrika thought with a smirk.

[Chad & Nappy & Dagger]

Nappy nodded his head at the Polar Serpent when she was finished speaking. This was almost what almost all dragons knew so he knew about where to start. ”Would you rather start with speed, defensive maneuvers, or physical attacks?” It would be quite easy to teach all, but since he was being a teacher, he would take in the opinion of his pupil.

Chad smiled as Sindre tried to make it look like the block was on purpose. ’Knew I should’ve just kept going for the arm.’

[/b][/color] He thought to himself. His eyes glanced at Ulrika as she side stepped behind him and aimed for the back of his knee. He flung himself down on the ground and did a barrel roll to pop himself back up on his feet and facing them again. He smiled a small smile as he lunged at Ulrika first, swinging the sword straight over his head with a flick of his wrist the sword would come barreling down on her shoulder. He picked it up slightly and made sure it barely grazed her shoulder. With that, he turned quickly and stepped towards Sindre using an undercut technique to try to fling her sword out of her hands. The sword would touch her right wrist if it made contact. He jumped back in a ready stance to see if both girls had gotten touched or not.

It would be back to even odds since all of them would have one arm behind their backs now. That is if the hit, hit. If it didn’t well, obviously he would have to go slightly harder. There was no way two new students would outdo the teacher on the first day. His eyes flicked over to Dagger for a moment as the dragon stirred and flew up to join Nappy in the training of Sindre’s dragon. His eyes flicked back to the student not a second later.
