| A swarm of butterflies blot out my vision for a moment, then shape themselves into people. "So these things just disappear when I hit them?" I called, lunging at the first one with my sword, then diving out of the way as the other comes at me. | |

| "Hmm," I say, as the other one disappears as my sword goes through it. "So how do I actually get rid of them without them appearing again?" | |

| "you don't. they cant harm you but they are simple practice. go until you get tired or bored." I say. | |

| "I get bored easily," I say as I make the third one vanish. But the others are already coming back. One comes up behind me. I use my leg to kick the opponent in front of me, then twirl around and attack. "So," I say conversationally. "Been at camp long?" | |

| "Same," I say. "Well, I've been here a couple of weeks but still." I fling one of the opponents into the wall and the butterflies scatter, then reassemble. The faster I knock them down, the faster they come back and even then I must move faster. "Am I a blur yet?" I ask. | |

| I frown a little bit, running my sword through another opponent. "So you've known you were a half blood pretty much all your life?" | |

| "I never said that. I've been in training ever since i was born but i was only revealed to be divinity at the ascension ceremony." i say. I was reluctant to reveal my past but it was a burden. maybe telling someone would help and whats the worst that could happen. | |

| "English, please," I roll my eyes and chase an opponent into a corner. | |

| "it is a ceremony where you go up a rank in an organization or something similar." I say slowly. | |

| "Oh, stop," I say as he says it very slow. "Not all of us have been trained as a swordfighter since birth." | |

| "No but its not just a sword fighting term," I say, "i know less English than you so i thought that you would know what an ascension ceremony is," i conclude. as i say that i shoot an arrow from my daikyu to split her practice sword as she prepares to swing at another illusion. "Vigilance remember. Next lesson is how to fight against an archer and i will be demonstrating this. so get out your bow," i say as the butterflies dissipate. | |

| with a quick movement i step to the side and slice the arrow in half. "thats how you take care of archers. one on one you charge and avoid the arrows. against multiple you try and be out of the line of fire while you take them out." i say. | |

| "But archery is more about stealth, not arrow-to sword combat." I notched another arrow. "The opponent will never know what hit them." | |

| "Stealth is for cowards," i say harshly, "To attack an opponent who doesnt know you are attacking him is dishonourable." | |

| "Excuse me?" I say, shocked. "Stealth is the element of surprise. Stealth is when your opponent doesn't know what you're going to do next. Stealth is not dishonorable." | |

| "The element of surprise and stealth are very different," i say, "the element of surprise lets your opponent know you are attacking but not how or from where etc... stealth is the exclusion of knowledge of your attack as a whole." | |
