Waiting...(public)

"kinda. they disapate and reappear." i say as the one she hit does just that.

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

"Nope. Just arrived." I say. "You?"

"I doubt you'll ever be nearly as quick as i am. and im barely a blur. dont feel bad though ive needed to train since i was around 3 to be how i am today."

"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.

"A ritualistic promotion." i summarize.

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

"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.

"fire when ready," i say, my katana already drawn.
OOC: just say you fire dont say what happens ok.

OOT: ok dont kill me lol

BIC: I take a quick breath and let the arrow fly.

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.

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

"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."
