The Way of the Blade

Rippers stood in a Training room full height and took a stance, feeling out with His magic and gathering Energy in his hand. He stepped forward with his body weight, thrusting his hand out and shot a blast of air at a target dummy, sending it flying against a rack of training swords. The blast was strong enough to Kill a Crusader if It hit Well enough, but he'd hoped to improve to the point of slamming a Building into it. He didn't just want to push the thing, he wanted to flatten it to the wall in a single motion. He huffed to himself and began again, doing it several times over and over again For a hour. He did this to get used to it as a fluid motion instead of needing to stop and gather energy for a moment. By the end he was sweating and out of energy, After taking a break, he decided to practice his Swordsman ship he shut down all his senses Voluntarily and Suddenly, he was moving. In one fluid motion he unclipped his Twin blade. Starting with a high underhand slash, Rippers began to go through the basic attacks of The silver form of Tamiya against imaginary opponents. He was Perfect in movement, as one attack flowed into the next. For ten minutes, he kept this up before suddenly unclipping the second, twin blade from his belt.

The transfer from Taimya to Hyomi-ryu, to even a trained eye, look fluid and natural. Yet, Rippers still thought it could be better. The sequences of Hyomi-ryu looked even better than Taimya. This was, after all, the first form he learned and knew the best. He Practiced for hours….

Tibodico entered the room, Performing a slight bow to the Dues before saying, Your footwork, Its too heavy. Tibodico let out a slight grin as he gave the advice, which was not to be taken lightly, after all, Tibodico is one of the greatest Weapon Techers in the entire Race. Be lighter on your feet, Pivot naturally, your feet don't need to be perfectly placed, just roughly and lightly. Tibodico Continued to enter the room, taking his place leaning against a wall.

Rippers brought his Twin blades upward then sweeping them down in a Fluid motion as he Nodded at Tibo, a move more than enough to cut a full grown man in half, but this did not satisfy him. He repeated the motion, faster this time, then again, faster and faster. Then he Dropped his twin blade and slammed blast of air into the wall, creating a giant hole as he began to walk out the room picking up his twin blades.

Would you like me to demonstrate the switch Lord? Tibodico's unique fighting style was great for working multiple forms into one, and Tibodico has spent many years training this particular switch. Out stretching his hands, he unsealed twin swords from the next dimension. The two swords materialising out of thin air. The Switch isn't about the speed, its about the flowing motion. Keep your speeds constant. Tibodico unsheathed the first sword.

rippers turned Intrigued but not showing it in the slightest he nodded as he observed the Blades appearing from nothing"show me what you got"

Tibodico began to do simple Tamiya style, performing the simple strikes, and flows, after about a minute of this he neatly drew the second sword, his two swords were in absolute harmoney with one another. Notice how i didn't speed up or rush to get it out. Constant speed of movement, also it doesn't require large movements, just simple flicks of the wrists. Tibodico continued to dance around with the two swords, using them absolutely perfectly like only the blademaster could.

Rippers grin as he slashed the air 7 times in quick Succession of each other "but speed is my thing" he pivoted jumping in the air as he blurred away mid jump appearing behind Tibo

Tibodico grinned at the playfullness of the Lord today. Indeed it is. As it is also for me. Tibodico moved at the same speed the lord had just done, appearing the the centre of the room, performing everything he was just doing at speeds beyond what anyone would ever be able to dodge. Even if you go fast, You need to be contant. Tibodico stopped his movements and turned towards the Lord, Ever thought about slowing down for training?

"no never to slow down is to die" Utilizing powers over space, Rippers points his finger at The direction of the Training swords to cause a ripple in this physical dimension, the distortion accelerates and grows to a certain point and causes a severe force on impact Bending the Swords slowly.

Tibodico glanced towards the swords being bent. huh, Are you trying to intimidate me for some reason Lord? Tibodcio was trying to figure out wether or not he would have to defend himself, for a second he was even thinking about invading the Dues mind to find out. But that would be a bad idea. The lord would feel his presence, and get pretty pissed off. Tibodico Allowed his two swords to shatter into pieces and disappear into annother dimension and his now free hand feel on to the hilt of his real, combat swords. This is quite the show Lord

Rippers grins as he gathers air with his hands and mixes it with His energy, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard to see them as the float in his palm. Because the needles are made of air they cannot be blocked or deflected. The only way to ensure safety is to dodge them."Power is with the beholder don't you think?"

Tibodico could barely see what the Lord was doing, but with the sixth sense he has gained he could tell that the needle like things were being formed. Oh....and what is this Lord. Are you going to attack me, after everything i've done......It'll will be interesting. Obviously Tibo wouldn't kill the Lord, and the lord wouldn't kill him, After all, Tibo is the only one who can match his power. But, fighting on the other hand, thats a different story.

"no i am not gonna attack you i have no reason to" Rippers drops the air pressure in the room dramatically, causing anyone but the user inside to fall asleep. It can only work in an enclosed area like a building or room.

Tibodico's body fell, but just before the pressure dropped, he distached his mind, Free roaming in an out of body experiance. His words echoed, bouncing off the walls, That was very interesting, even my soul is feeling tired, fortunately for me the walls are giving me the strength to stay awake. After all, the walls were the crystallised bodies of past Blademasters.

"When you Finish Training The Current Acolytes the shadow hand Spot is open all you have to do is ask"returns the Pressure to normal, as he walks away

I'll consider it carefully. Tibodcio got up and began to walk away, heading for one of his students. His mind detached from the past blademasters. They were pleased to hear the news, however this would mean that he would get less interaction with them. And they will also have to accept a new blademaster. What a pain!
