Pig Farming [Mentor/Avalon]

[Nyumo]

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhh~" With a shrill battle cry Nyumo is airborne with nodachi drawn over her head. Her intended prey more than well aware of her presence sprints out of her reach right before she lands, quickly turning on hoof to come around and headbutt her in the stomach. Being hurled backwards from the impact she tumbles along the ground stopping in a sprawled posture. Springing back up to her feet she huffs and starts pointing a finger at the boar accusingly. "I'm gonna make bacon out of you mark my wor-" Her shouting cut short from a chunk of dirt and mud splattering against her face, completely stunned from the humiliation she stands there for several seconds with the boar snorting in what she could only imagine is a mocking manner. Clapping a hand to her face she slowly draws the mud away and flicks it to the ground, a revitalized fire burns an aura around her. "THAT'S IT I'M PUTTING YOU ON A SPIT AND ROASTING YOU!" She hurls the insult in the beasts direction and starts to chase after it. With both hands held tightly to the hilt of her blade she sprints after the boar, wildly swinging her blade around with little effect having the pig just out of range of her frantic assault.

The boar idly stands several yards away from Nyumo whilst she is hunched over with palms to her knees panting heavily. The early morning sun had finally made its way to what she could only assume was just past noon, she had made little to no progress in leveling like she thought she was going to get from coming out here. Succumbing to her exhaustion she flops backwards onto her bottom and leans back into her hands to take deep breaths. "ARGH! I'm never going to get experience at this rate. Chasing around wilbur all day is getting me no where." Flinging her head back in aggravation she groans audibly at her displeasure. "I should've asked around town before coming out here. This is nothing like what we've played before."

After getting her annoyance out, she adjusts her posture by tucking her legs together and entwines her fingers to each other closing her eyes. It was obvious the boar wasn't going to come to her, nor was she able to catch up to it at her rate, she might as well stop and take in the area for its otherwise peaceful nature. Elder Tales, despite the similarities it shares with other mmo's, this was still so foreign to her. She'd never actually been in the game, she didn't even realize it was possible till she ended up here. It still didn't make sense but she was trying to put that behind her, she was in the game and that's all she was really interested in, it was too exciting to dwell on the how's. Drifting in her thoughts, she eventually succumbs to slumber, her head dips down to stuff her face into most of her scarf.

It was a great start for the early morning. Avalon had a good night's rest unlike some other nights where she dreamed of being utterly alone. The worst she could ever have. She missed her cousins who supported her though the good and especially the bad times in her life. They were the ones who introduced her to the Elder Tale game, which actually helped her to escape from her troubles when she thought nothing would go right anymore. For a little while, she had some resentment for her cousins when the apocalypse occurred when her life was finally turning for the better. But inside, she knew better. It wasn't their fault at all. It was most likely some asshole who enjoyed the players struggling to get by and trying to escape in vain. Nothing worked at all. All that she could do right now was level up in this strange world of Elder Tale and maintain the hope that leveling up would lead to some discovery or hint to escape soon. She still had family that mist likely were greatly worried for her safety and had no idea where she went.

"Reminds me of home," she smiled after taking a slow sip of her earl grey tea as she savored the refreshing taste. It awoke her senses and gave her nostalgia of that little cafe down the road back home. She knew all the workers in the cafe who almost always had a bright smile on their face even though their day might not have been the best at times. She had been saddened to hear that the little cafe down the road was about to close down due to constructions reasons. Still, it didn't mean the cafe would be gone forever. Sooner or later, the cafe would make it's appearance in some other location though she hoped it wouldn't move too far from home. After all, she still never got the birthday present she was hoping for the past year. This was well, a part of the reason she wanted to go back home so she could the girl of the vehicle and partially to be able to thank the cafe employees for the kindness they gave her. She had promised to be a good girl instead of the rough and tough girl who adapted to the street life. It wasn't the best decision but she had grown sick and tired of her obnoxious parents throwing on to her how to become just like them--another obnoxious high-class woman who couldn't make any decisions for herself.

Because she didn't take any jobs today, she walked out of the cafe and decided it was a resting day for herself. It was a time to relax and not to overly exert herself. Rubbing her chin, she thought that maybe she could do some easy level grinding near Londinium, not too far away. Even though Avalon wanted some time to relax, she didn't want to be lazy leading up to not wanting to do anything productive the next day. Besides, she loved the thrill of hunt. It gave her a sense of heightened adrenaline and challenged her mind in adjusting tactics every now and then. She wasn't perfect but practicing everyday helped her improved and level up in the game. It gave her the hope that it could lead to escaping one day--hopefully it wasn't too long of a day away. As she exited out of Londinium, she waved hello at a few lander who seemed to be working their hardest in selling to others and do other such crafts. She felt a bit sympathy for the People of the Land who she had once consider NPCs when Elder Tale was just a game she played every now and then but now things were vastly different. Every single land she encountered had their own emotions, attitudes, and personalities just like any other human in the real world. She and the other many adventurers where the abnormal ones, basically immortal.

Finally, she reached the vast valley of the Windsor Greatwood and looked onward in awe of the majesty of the scenery before her. It seemed to always surprise her on how real this strange world has become. She could even feel the pain when she herself got hurt a few times or so. Of course, it wasn't to best feel to have. Suddenly she spotted a medium sized pittered boar a few distances away from her. This was her chance. Her first kill of the day. She quickly crouched down and hid behind a bush. The spot she was in gave her the height advantage. She plainly see the medium sized boar from down below. It appeared to be quite slow at the moment so that was a good sign, an easy target to shoot down. She smirked at her target in sight as she carefully drew her recurve bow and arrow. But suddenly, she heard loud shouting from some distance away that immediately caused the boar to scurry away while she was sorely distracted. Damn it. She glared at the sight as it were still there. She wanted to find out what the yelling was all about and who would take her target away.

By the time she reached the origin of the racket, she stumbled upon a wolf hair assassin sleeping soundly while a medium sized boar was running fast toward the girl. It was a good thing Avalon had her bow and arrow in her hand. She used Quick Draw as it sent her arrow flying toward her target and landed right next to the wolf hair girl. Annoyingly, the wild boar was still not dead and caused a high pitched squeal come out. Avalon put her hands to her ears as she shut them tight though a few seconds later, the boar went silent. She noticed the health points was at it's lowest and decided to just leave the pittered boar unconscious. Maybe she could give it to a chef to cook later on in the day and she could get a free meal for hunting it for him or her. She swiftly walked toward the wolf hair girl and poked her forehead, "You could've died you know?" and hoped she got the message.

Caught up in the momentary serenity of her surroundings, she let herself relax too much, on top of having not actually slept in game since she arrived. She could feel the ease washing over her while she rested, atleast until an abrupt shrill squeal broke the silence, causing her to jolt in place just in time to see the boar collapse beside her. With a curious tilt of the head, she furrowed her brows together in confusion as to what just transpired. Though it wasn't long before the answer walked over and prodded the center of her skull with a finger. Wrinkling her nose at her pokey assailant, she stuffs one hand in her lap to lean forward into and uses her free hand to rub the sleep from her eye. "E'en if I died, I'd just respawn right?" Her mouth slowly drew open into a drawn out but silent yawn with a sharp inhale at the tail end. " 'sides, I think I'm more durable than that to let an oinker get me down that low." Gently rolling her head around her neck, it popped in several locations, producing a pleased sigh of relief from the small girl. Unfolding her legs she quickly rolls to her back with her hands beside her head and kicks up to fling herself up and back to her feet.

Her eyes wander from the passed out boar to the wolf hair archer, scanning over her once while stretching her arms and back pivoting at her hips. "You're a bit higher than the stuff out here, what brings you out this way?" She hasn't really had the chance to meet too many other players since she got here, she didn't think anyone bothered coming out to the lowbie areas much without a good reason. Though she couldn't complain too much, her would be savior was kind of cute. Her face suddenly scrunches up and her head recoils in disgust with herself, why was she even considering that right now? Bringing her fist up, she coughs into it and looks over towards the boar as a distraction. "So uh, that was a nice shot you took. Was that just an auto attack or did you do somethin' special?" She starts to trail her gaze back to look over at Avalon to try and show she was paying attention now. It was the first assassin she got to meet in game, especially with quite a level gap between them, so hopefully she could get some kind of know how to use in the future. This was just nothing like any of the games she'd played before, she still had no idea how to actively use any of the skills she had picked out. It was really embarrassing to her having had prior mmo experience, but it's not everyday you're thrust into the throes of being sucked into said game and having to learn from scratch. She could only hope this fresh face was knowledgeable enough to get her some kind of footing so she could be of use somewhere down the road.

"I guess that's true," she replied and paused for a moment grinning a toothy smile, " though I doubt it would be a pleasant experience, don't you think?" as she asked curiously at the newly met wolf hair female adventurer. She glanced inquisitively as she wondered how this adventurer was able to survive so far in Elder Tale when her clothing left little to the imagination. How was the bikini like top supposed to protect the upper half of her body when it appeared that she was of a close combat type fighter? She had no clue. Maybe that was why the girl was still at such a low level. And also, her attitude seemed a bit too casual in this potentially dangerous area by herself. It was a low chance but she didn't believe that the girl could last that long soloing with a potential mob of pittered boars coming her way. Her acrobat sub class could give her an advantage but there might be situations when it wouldn't be useful.

She walked up to a nearby medium sized tree for some shade to hide from the blazing sunlight and casually leaned back to relax with one foot placed against it for balance. The wolf hair asked her on why she, a higher level adventurer would be exploring in a place filled with more lower leveled monsters. For her, it was simply to catch on some down time and not overly exert herself. But usually, she would challenge herself by finding areas where it would be filled with creatures of a higher level to gain more experience and strategies. It became too easy shooting down more docile monsters. She began to enjoy the thrill of a fight and hunting them as weird as it sounded. The predator versus the prey, if you put it that way. "I originally wasn't gonna come here since today was usually my resting day from hunting but for some reason, I felt restless but didn't wanna travel too far," she replied as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear after a gust of sudden wind flew by.

Avalon gazed intently at the other girl wondering if she was feeling alright. The girl had her head sprung back and coughed into her hand as if she caught some sickness recently or at that very moment. She frowned hoping that whatever happened to the girl wasn't something contagious. Avalon would hate to catch a sickness when she was trying to become stronger in trying to reach her goal of leveling up in the hope of finding a way out of Elder Tale. She still had things to take care of back home. Before she was able to open her mouth to inquire if the wolf hair adventurer was doing okay, the girl continued to ask her another question on what kind of attack she used on the medium sized pittered boar. "It was quick draw, one of my favorites," she grinned and paused, "Fast and simple. Catches the enemy by surprise," as she shaped her right hand into a gun like a 'bang.' Her weapon wasn't a gun but her hand gesture was plainly self-explanatory.

She continued with her mouth curved downwards in a frown,"I wasn't planning on coming to your rescue. I wanted to find the source of what took my prey away from me," though she would have felt guilty if she just watched and let the medium sized pittered boar attack the lower leveled girl. Only an asshole would just leave the girl like that. "It looks like you need a lot of help," she laughed jokingly, "All that yelling you did earlier sent the boars running," as she cocked her head to the side with a toothy grin.

CAN'T HOLD ME NOW

YOU GOT NOTHING THAT CAN STOP ME NOW

Picking up the nodachi at her feet, she rolls it in her hand to spin it around to the back of her neck to curl both of her arms lazily over the length of the weapon; hands dangling in the air while adjusting her posture to lean onto her right leg. "That makes sense yeah, I suppose you like keepin' yourself busy then? I can't imagine gettin' bored in here." Her voices trails into a mutter with her eyes trailing out to the fields with the wildlife still prowling the brush. Nyumo takes a deep breath of the air and closes her eyes, taking in the scents of the knoll, it would take a long time for her to get over this feeling from just a game. "Everything about Elder Tale is just so overwhelming you know?" Her gaze returns to the follow wolf hair, beaming a toothy grin and a chuckle at her. It had been awhile since she'd really been around someone other than Burai, it was nice to see a fresh face in a new environment that didn't drag her down. Shifting her arm out from around the sheath of the blade to grip the hilt once more, she adjusts her stance once more to set her free hand into the pocket of her trousers.

Avalon had her full attention when she mentioned quick draw and how it worked for her ranged attacks, she was about to burst into questions about skill use but she continued on with a frown. Nyumo responded in a sheepish expression of her own looking down at her feet and biting into her lower lip, if she had a tail out it would've been tucked neatly between her legs from being called out on her newbie-ness. Retrieving her hand from her pocket once more, she brought it up to rub at the side of her hair with a quiet laugh. "Sorry about that, I just get really into it when I'm in a fight, its just a huge rush you know?" Idly running her fingers through her hair still, she looked back up from the grass once more and offered an apologetic smile. "I actually do need help, you mentioned quick draw earlier, I have that skill too but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it. I see it in my skill list but I don't really know how to activate it you know?" Wrinkling her nose faintly at the end of her sentence, she let out a faint sigh. "I suppose I should be thankful you didn't uh.... you know what nah nevermind." She waves her hand dismissively more to herself than to Avalon. Why bring up getting headbutt a few feet through the air if she didn't actually see it. It'd be silly to embarrass herself even further at this moment. It was already bad enough she had to save her from taking a nap. "Aaanyways about our skills?" Her expression reverted back to her upbeat self, she was ready to start doing something more than wildly swinging at prey and failing miserably. She wasn't going to let one setback ruin her for the entirety of the session. Besides she had someone who could help her get better at the game right here and now, how often does an opportunity like this come up?

I know how you feel," she laughed as she cocked her head to the side and continued with a knowing smile, "I get a rush of adrenaline in the heat of battle," as she held onto her Hunter's recurve bow as if were something precious. Her viper recurve bow was something she had commissioned a woodcrafter to craft for a small price and she took pride in wielding her weapon. It was a beautiful piece artwork of a bow with fine engraving along the edges that it seemed as if it were just a decorative object than a real weapon to be used in combat. Compared to the friendly disposition she had, her viper's bow gave a malicious and atrocious aura letting others know to not underestimate a seemingly harmless looking young woman of an assassin. She did need to upgrade her viper recurve bow soon since she was beginning to level up and maybe get her bow reforge for some extra abilities, maybe some debuffs or elemental damage from her weapon. The wolf hair girl started to thank her for well, not leaving to be attacked by the medium sized boar earlier but Avalon didn't mind it at all. "No worries, at least I'm not some hitman sub-class," she said with a lazy grin, "Then you really would be in trouble hun," as she flashed her a wink as if teasing the girl. She continued with a sigh, "That sub-class actually makes PK'ing legal. I don't really agree with that," as she twirled an arrow around her fingers out of pure habit and some nervousness at that thought.

"Huh? What about our skills?" she said confused at the question the wolf hair girl asked her. And then like a lightbulb, the realization came back to her. Her cheeks turned rosy pink and pointed lavender ears deflated for a moment. Throughout the conversation she only now realized that the girl was actually asked for her help and wanted some training from a fellow assassin since she was of a high level. "Oh that. Sorry, almost forgot," she continued as she scratched her head and stated with a more serious tone of voice, "I can help you but you have to do exactly what I tell you alright unless I say otherwise. Kay?" intently gazing at the girl assassin who seemed willing to learn and very enthusiastic. She didn't want a student who would only listen and train half-heartedly. She rather have a student who took the lessons to heart and a apply it everyday so wouldn't make the same mistakes again. "Anyway since you were asking about quick draw, I had to learn how to handle my weapons and remember at least some of the motions that went with the move," she stated plainly. Giving an example, she drew her viper recurve bow with a steady hand as she stared intensely at the small leaf hanging on a small branch at a nearby lush tree. She stretched the bowstring farther until she was satisfied and released the tension as the arrow went straight through the small leaf. She set her viper recurve bow aside against the tree and admitted to the girl, "I was horrible using it and couldn't even aim even if my life depended on it," and gave her questioning look, "So are you willing to work hard?" gazing into her potential student as if judging her character.

CAN'T HOLD ME NOW

Nyumo couldn't help but smile knowing she wasn't the only one who enjoyed a good fight once in awhile, she could only imagine what it will be like when it gets serious in Elder Tale. She'd read a small portion of the Hitman subclass but it just wasn't something she was too interested in, player versus player just wasn't her style. She liked playing with friends and exploring worlds and testing her strength against the world, not other people; though there were times she had no choice in the matter. Despite the surge of energy from fighting someone else, it also could get really frustrating from exploits in the system to give the people who do it regularly the advantage against a more green pvper. Playfully she snorts out a breath at Avalon's jest of being in trouble. "Ranged always have an edge over melee, just have to know how to exploit that." Albeit all she really knew how to deal with ranged was how to serpentine to close the gap, she wondered just how effective that kind of tactic would work in a world that felt just as real as her own, maybe someday she'll find out but for now she was content sticking with pve.

Tapping the sheath of her weapon to her shoulder to sound off another clank, she gave the other wolf hair a toothy smile and bubbly laugh, raising a hand to rub at the side of her head in the fluff of hair she had. "Nihi~ Of course of course, I don't wanna waste your time by not listening yeah?" Her eyes glanced over to her shoulder to look at the Nodachi for a moment in contemplation, she wanted to be cool and kind of use it as a cane to lean on while listening but it was almost a foot longer than she was tall. It would look very silly to put it on the ground and try and look attentive to the girl about to teach her how to play her class better. She clapped the sheath once more to its perch, bringing it down to clasp her free hand to the sheath, eyes locked at the guard of the hilt. "It might take a bit of practice with you being focused on ranged where as I'm a melee, I hope you're not expecting me to go running around throwing my nodachi at leaves right?" Her eyes turn up to look at Avalon once more with a wry smirk on her lips. "If not, then I think I'm more than willing to get my feet wet." She happily grins in anticipation, her thumb petting idly at the hilt of her weapon. She could only hope that despite the differences in combat style that some things would still click between the class itself, she was curious just how she planned to get the two to work in sync. She suddenly jerks into a rigid posture with a sharp exhale like she was just punched in the stomach, the realization washed over her that in all their conversation thus far, she never even told this new wolf hair her name nor did she know hers. The wheels churned in her head in contemplation of how to handle this, did she just continue on as if this was normal, or did she take the time to apologize and actually introduce herself. Her brows were furrowed together with her eyes shut tight while her brain worked double time to remedy this error, if it were possible you'd start to see the smoke billowing from her ears from the amount of concentration she was dealing with. Snapping back to reality she shakes her head with her hair fluffing around her lazily, she offers a half hearted grin to Avalon with eyebrows arched awkwardly with it. "Oh god don't think I'm crazy, lets just do this thing and we can totally just not know each other's names it's cool. It's too late to back out now, just smile and nod and do the thing."

The other wolf hair girl had replied stating that ranged fighters always had an edge over melee fighters so one would have to find ways to exploit that difference. Giving her a nod, "That's true," as she glanced at the girl's information for a reference. There was a clear advantage the girl had that would Avalon face with some difficulty depending on how it would be used. "You do have something I don't have and can exploit if used right," she stated, "You're more agile and can jump higher than me. I rely on being farther but with your agility, I think you could learn how to beat a ranger fighter like me. I might even lose to you one day," she admitted with a lazy grin. She had to be honest to the girl. She was of a higher level but she had her own faults and she too, had to learn ways to get passed a weakness like this. It might land her a lot of trouble if she wasn't careful enough when it really mattered.

Lightly pushing herself from the medium sized tree she was leaning on, she gave a small smile in happiness that the girl was willing to listen to her orders in this mentoring session. "Good," she said pointedly as she clasped her hands in readiness, "I got nothing to worry 'bout then" and walked closer to the clearing for more space. It was better that it the was the other girl training in melee then her ranged weaponry. She could clearly hear the wind whistling disturbing the leaves. It would have affected the trajectory of her arrows, not the best for her to go hunting. And then there was this rustling of some monster or monsters from some close distance that it was only a matter of time until it would reach their location. After all, there was much noise from the clearing earlier that it most likely attract a lot of attention from more confident of just curious creatures. She had to make sure she stayed alert and careful until then.

The way it looked that the girl was excited and had the zeal to learn from her--it was infectious and she didn't mind it at all. At least the girl wasn't forcing her to teach her, that would be another story. Avalon giggled when the other wolf hair girl mentioned that she really hoped that she wouldn't be shooting down leaves like she just did earlier. She waved her arms in front of her and replied, "Oh no, I wouldn't do that to you! You need a different type of training from that," as she explained to the girl. Avalon hoped that action didn't turn her away from her willingness to learn. She just wanted to display what much training done would lead her, better accuracy, patience, and concentration. "Since we got that outta of our way and agreed, let's start with our introductions okay?" she started and paused for a moment, "I'm Avalon but you can just call me master" with a chuckle toward the girl. "Nah, I'm kidding unless you want to," she continued with a cheeky grin on her face.

"Let's start off with some stretches before really getting into it cuz' you're be actually using much movement since your melee," she stated to the girl and paused for a moment, "You do know how to do some stretches right?" as she questioned her just in case. Avalon did not want to baby the other wolf hair girl and guide her through every single step unless she really needed the help and asked her questions. She liked when others took initiative. It was the same for her as well though took a while to gain that confidence to speak up and take initiative for herself after life experiences and lessons forcing her to mature and grow up. It wasn't a pleasant experience but facing obstacles helped her with many thing recently. She would have panicked for being stuck in Elder Tale if things were different. Now, she was trying to grow stronger and learn information to get out of this hell-hole. "Once you're done, show me how you handle your weapon. I'm not the best but I know some info about handling it," she continued as she stretched out her arms to loosen up her muscles for a few seconds.

Nyumo smiled cheerfully to the darker haired assassin, she was feeling more confident in her role play class after the small explanation. She'd tested it a few times before and could tell she could get much higher in the air than normal means, she hadn't really gotten much chance to experiment with the other faculties of the added athleticism. She couldn't help but chuckle and smile once more hearing the prospect that she might one day beat her. It'd be interesting to see first hand, she truly hated having to deal with ranged characters so any advantage she could get she'd take.

Following quickly behind Avalon, Nyumo happily hopped along into the clearing, the fluffy mane tied into its ponytail bouncing along with her. She was excited to get this show on the road and get a few pointers to help her in her endeavors to be a better assassin. She laughed politely to the response she received for the leaf joke she'd given her before, her reaction to it was amusing enough to not be wavered in her interest, atleast she wasn't the only one who could be emotive once in awhile. Nyumo's cheeks flushed over once more with Avalon introducing herself, she thanked the stars she didn't have to just randomly bring it up. All she could muster for a response was a toothy smile appreciating the fact they could actually call each other by something now. "Avalon huh? I'm Nyumo by the way~ I think it'd be more fun to call you Ava personally."

Nyumo couldn't help but arch a brow at Avalon in what could only be the most sarcastic look she can give her, pointing at her own midsection and flexing the finely sculped abs. "Have you not noticed these right here? They might be more defined than mine, but all of this is close to the original copy. Being in here is only going to make stretches that much easier." She says while unclasping her nodachi from her person and sets it down on the ground in an easily visible patch of the grass to get back to later. Crouching forward while swinging her arms, she juts backwards and leaps into the air enough to replant her hands to the grass, idly performing push ups with the entirety of her body in the air. "It helps having some outside experience with this kind of stuff I suppose." Curling at her back and legs, she slowly glides back down with her feet to make a back arch. Straining in her arch, she lets out a quiet groan until something pops and you can hear the exhale of appreciation. Laying down on her back, she throws her legs over her head and kicks up to put herself back on her feet.

Feeling she was limber enough to get started with the training she retrieved her weapon from the grass and slung it again to her waist. Drawing the blade from the length of its sheath, she swung it around and set the back of her weapon to her shoulder. With one hand gripped tightly just short of the guard, her other hand was place with the palm to the hilt but didn't fully grasp the weapon. In her own mind allowing for her to deviate from a generic slashing maneuver in the event an attack came at her peculiarly. "I suppose this would be my idle posture?" She muttered with a shrug and a half laugh, it wasn't unusual for someone to watch her movements and stances so closely, it was weird having it done in game as well. "I've never actually held a sword before so I'm only going off of the stuff I've seen on tv you know?"

"I see," Avalon drawled narrowing her eyebrows together as she spun her arrow around her hard worked callous fingers. The girl wasn't exactly disobey her orders but that tone of voice was something she should rather not stand for. It just seemed that the girl was boasting about her sculpted abs with her flexing it and seemed like the girl had a bit of an ego because of that. She even wondered if the girl was telling the truth about having those abs in real life back home or was she just talking a load of crap. In any case. She had already agreed to mentoring her and didn't warrant her to stop training her unless something that really pissed her off. After a pause she continued, "That's just nice and all. But your rock hard abs don't mean shit of you don't know how to defend and attack properly," with a scolding tone of voice. Her eyes darted toward the girl observing how the acrobat sub class affected the flexibility of Nyumo making her look like some graceful dancer performing on a stage. She wasn't so bad, at least she wasn't lying about doing stretches at all. Avalon had once considered changing her sub class to that of an acrobat considering the benefits it would provide, agility, flexibility, and ability to jump higher than any other class. It would be useful if she were to become a close combat fighter some time in the future by possibly annoying the enemy by the continuous dodging and jumping. "Good job Nyumo," she praised though still slightly judging her with calculating eyes.

It was hard to watch the other wolf hair girl clumsily wield her two-handed weaponry. The nodachi looked like a giant compared to the girl's short statue. Because the weapon was longer and heavier than the common japanese sword, it was important for Nyumo to know how to properly wield her weapon or this girl would survive long by herself. After all, what she read about them was that it was called 'big great sword' for a reason. It did help that she had researched the multiple close combat weaponry through some books for the time she would choose to wield a close combat weapon if a situation it is needed arises. She reassured her, "No one's perfect, don't worry," cocking her head to the side. Avalon strolled toward her student with intent in mind and gave the nodachi a long look. "Your hands," she started as she pointed at the girl's hands and continued explaining, "They need to be farther apart, for leverage and balance especially that it's longer than the average sword. One hand at the base of your weapon for maneuverability and your good hand, center of gravity to direct your maneuvers," as she hummed in thought. "Your feet, a bit more than shoulder length apart," she explained to the other girl and intoned, "Any questions?" and paused, "If not, show me what move you know and remember, don't rely completely on your strength--let it guide you," emphasizing her last statement.
