Training A Shaman [Guild/Mentoring]

[Hirosame]

Hiro walked up into the flower fields once again, this time with a lot more strength. The last time he was here was to fight Mayahuel, which had been about a week by now. He looked around, finding his normal spot. He remembered how he had fought Mayahuel who had spawned on that spot, which he didn't really approve of. The group he was in still killed the monster, though, so he couldn't really feel angry over it now. It's over, anyways. He has his reward from the mission, which was minor, yes, but it was still something after all. 10 AP was something that he had put to good use, which always helped out in the long run. But, that had nothing to do with why he was there that day. He started to look around a bit, before eventually finding a place to sit down. The place he sat down was, of course, his own spot, and waited. Tsukuyomi should be here, soon enough. Probably, anyways. Otherwise, Hiro would be here for generally nothing.

Leaning back with his hands behind his head, Hiro lay on the grass, letting the fumes of the surrounding area take him in. The wind blowing ever so slightly always made him feel at ease. He closed his eyes, and let his mind wander. He wondered how Tsukiyomi would take to his mentoring, even though Hiro wasn't a Shaman himself. He would probably end up just using sigils to help Tsukiyomi fight some of the nearby monsters. Or, perhaps he'd show him some techniques that anybody could use in a fight. Stuff to just make him a more capable offensive-shaman, which is what he was told that Tsukiyomi wanted to do. Admirable, yes, but not really a Shaman's forte. He shrugged it off, though, and just waited for him to show up. He'd arrive eventually, anyways, and Hiro would figure out what to do then. Again, probably just some sigil-making stuff. Not too taxing on himself, but it would still help out a ton with Tsukiyomi's training. With that thought in the back of his mind, Hiro relaxed himself on the grass, and observed the clouds as they rolled by.

Tsukiyomi looked at the time, he was running late! He told his guildmaster Hirosame that he would be there in 30 minutes. It took quite a while to travel from London to the Flower grove. He was hoping the guildmaster didn't fall asleep like last time, so he sped up. He wanted some close combat training so he asked Hirosame to train him. He ran past the trees, plants, and animals to get there. "OW!" Tsukiyomi tripped on a tree root again. He quickly fell on his knees to pray thanks to the forest, remembering the last run in he had, with the root. Tsukiyomi ran quite far before becoming lost.

Darn, lost already. Let me just use "Telepathy", "GuildMaster, can you hear me, can you give me a good sense of where you are, I'm kinda lost!

[Hirosame]

Hiro was relaxing lazily, as the wind blew, and the clouds rolled. The interface in this game had been turned off by this point, leaving Hiro only to observe the clouds above himself. A bunch of them were amorphous, but some of them had some sort of pattern to them, which he found rather entertaining. He loved how the calmness of the world surrounded him, and let his body chill. A certain song that he used to enjoy started to play in his mind, as he watched the clouds rolled by. He loved that song, back when he was in the other world, and he loved to listen to it during summertime, especially when there wasn't anything else to do but lay out under the sun and watch the clouds. His parents hated that, though, as it would always ruin the "new shirt" that they had gotten for him. He never asked for them anyways. Hiro was probably better off living in Japan, but he was glad that he could be where he was already. It would still be fine, either way.

Despite being deep in thought, he heard something and the interface reappeared, hiding the clouds. He glared for a moment, before heavily sighing, and answering the call. "Yeah, hello?" He answered, before hearing Tsukiyomi's voice in the telepathy system. He really needed to make something that wouldn't just pop up and interrupt his leisure time. "Uh, yeah. Just head towards the open field with the roses." Hiro sat up a bit, before continuing, putting his hand on his right ear to continue giving the Shaman directions. "You should see me soon enough, probably. After all, it's a bit hard to miss me." He chuckled a bit, before looking around. He couldn't see the young player yet, and just figured that he'd eventually show up. "Just come on up to me if you find me, I'll be here. Probably won't move, so don't worry about it. If you need any other directions, don't be afraid to ask, okay?" With that, he closed the interface, and started looking for Tsukiyomi. He didn't feel like standing up, and just remained on the watch on his ass. That should suffice, after all.

"Alright, so just follow this path. Ok go there. I found it, I see the rose bed ahead! Thanks!"
True enough, Tsukiyomi finds a giant field of roses, he looks around and spots Hirosame. Hirosame was a guildleader of the Guild he joined not to long ago, Apocrypha. He was really intrigued by the detail and artwork of their guild. Tsukiyomi was still a weak character. He only just started the game, not too long ago. he needed some help to play an offensive Shaman playstyle. Hirosame, was a monk, meaning he was good a melee combat. That's what Tsukiyomi needed to perfect his way of fighting. Each person has their own way to fight, and Tsukiyomi wanted to make his own. He wants to be able to heal, yet play on the offensive as well. He was checking out some skills he could learn. The guild had some ambitious goals, so first he's got to level up, before he can be of help to them. Hirosame is pretty strong clocking in at about level 45. This was halfway from 90. Level 90 was the level cap, before Novashpere Pioneers. The level cap was raised and most of the monsters changed in one way or the other. He wanted a piece of this history to remember him. He read in a book here, about someone named Shiroe. From all the feats that he has accomplished, he was definitely an adventurer. No doubt indeed. But for a player to be written down in, history of this world is astounding. It says also, he pioneered magic in many fields. He wanted to be like this Shiroe guy. Tsukiyomi was ready to face the way above the level of Tsukiyomi, Hirosame. He wanted combat training. Tsukiyomi, knew he was in for a hell of a beating. "Hirosame, I'm here, I called for your help on combat training. Could you help me with melee combat. And please don't hold back. We should use the teacher system, so your level drops down to mine. That way, I can last longer. I probably can't keep up with you so lets begin"

Tsukiyomi eventually showed up, which Hiro was glad about. He looked over at the male Shaman, and smiled a bit, while standing back up. He relaxed himself in a normal stance, letting his muscles get a little extra rest. So it seemed that Tsukiyomi wanted Hiro to teach him about physical combat, or something to that effect. This would be more than interesting, especially if Hiro gets put down to Tsukiyomi's level. As it stood right now, a 1-2 punch could probably send Tsukiyomi right back to the Sanctuary, so it might be of use to level himself down. The Teacher System was very innovative, and was probably one of the most complex and useful systems in the game, as it stood. However, a Monk fighting a Shaman in physical combat probably wouldn't turn out all that well, despite the use of the teacher system. But, he'd see how it turns out. After all, Tsukiyomi was in Apocrypha, which meant that the sooner he got stronger, the better off they'd all be.

Hiro initiated the Teacher System, and after Tsukiyomi's eventual acceptance of the system's implication to their two-man party, Hiro watched as his level 45 status shrunk down to 9. He sighed, after realizing that he was now much weaker. But, at least he kept his abilities, and they all scaled down with him. So he'd at least be able to chain together combos as he had before. He tensed his muscles up a bit more, before smirking over at his comrade. "Just so you know, I won't be holding back after the first few volleys. Just try to dodge as well as you can." Hiro lowered his stance a bit, and started to throw a fist from his right side, towards Tsukiyomi. A casual right hook was easily dodged. This would be a good start. If Tsukiyomi could dodge this, then retaliate immediately afterwards, then Hiro would turn it up a notch at a time, until he started to go full berserk, as he normally would in a fight. For now, however, Tsukiyomi would get Hiro's easier side, but soon enough, Hiro would go nuts with fighting, as was his style. After all, what good is a Monk who can't combo?

Tsukiyomi wanted a challenge. He knew that fighting a mob wasn't going to help much. He wanted Hirosame to come at him at full force. He didn't want him to hold back. If Tsukiyomi wanted to be help to the Apocrypha, then he to be on par with the real level 45 Hirosame. He listened to Hirosame's reply, and was satisfied that he wasn't holding back. If we didn't use the teacher system, then Tsukiyomi really might have just been one hit KOed by Hirosame. The system didn't limit experience though, so Tsukiyomi was prepared for a beating. Hirosame came in and started on the offensive. He could tell that Hirosame was holding back a little. Although Hirosame's level dropped to 9, a melee class character would out speed a healer any day. He knew he couldn't dodge the attack, but he wasn't going to fall without some resistance. He racked his brain in the 3 seconds Hirosame was about to land an attack on Tsukiyomi. He learned some skills just before, and needed them right now. Tsukiyomi worked hard to meet the needs of an Apocrypha member. He wanted to be a higher level character. Although he has only been playing for a month, he has trained super hard with others and alone, and is now level 9. He honed his skills through harsh fights against monster mobs. He quickly thought out a plan. Though Hirosame may see through his plot he still used it. You know what they say no pain no gain. He took a risk, this risk may allow him to dodge the attack. He would be able to land a hit if this plan went correctly. This was the best plan Tsukiyomi could think of in this short amount of time. Hirosame didn't start with full power, his guard was lowered, and this was the time to strike. Tsukiyomi was a mentally smart in real life. The new body provided by ELDER TALES allowed him to apply his thinking to his actions, with a stronger and quicker body. He was ready to respond to Hirosame's attack. He used "Summon Shikigami!" Tsukiyomi summoned the Shiki right in front of him. The shiki took Hirosame's attack and allowed Tsukiyomi to maneuver to the side. Katana in hand, he used "Summon Shikigami" and had it appear right in front of Hirosame, blocking his view. He activated "Divine Subjugation" and swung his sword to the distracted Hirosame.
