Lessons -Fencing

Ciel was determined to show Sebastian that he no longer needed tutors or instructors. He arrived in the Morning Room ready for fencing.

Sebastian was waiting for him examining a foil "Fencing the art of using the sword scientifically" he chuckled to himself, it was such an archaic notion to him personally, but acting as Ciel's Tutor in this field he had to embrace it.

The butler watched as Ciel entered the morning room, his posture clearly showing defiance to this lesson, but this did not bother Sebastian in the least.

"Alright Young Master start out by take your foil and demonstrating for me the stances and forms as a warm up." Ciel did not answer verbally but simply nodded and quickly ran through the stances, saluting, thrusting, and lunging.

Sebastian shook his head.

"You have the logistics, but your foot work leaves much to be desired." Ciel looked up hotly sweating a bit from the exertion. "There is nothing wrong with my footwork!" Ciel slashed his foil forward toward Sebastian. The Butler, now acting Tutor easily blocked the move swooping to one side and landing light stroke to his upper thigh.

"Your stance is too wide and makes for an easy target." Sebastian then reversed his turn and landed another strike to his other side.

Ciel gritted his teeth as he saw and FELT that Sebastian was right, but he refused to acknowledge this and tried swiping his foil out again aiming for the neck. Sebastian easily deflected the move with a side step and using Ciel's momentum to his advantage and with a flick of his wrist whipped the foil to land a stinging "thwip!" to his pupils backside. Ciel gasped and whirled around about to burst with anger.

"Thats not a fair move!" he yelled rubbing his bottom

"Neither is aiming at your opponents neck" Sebastian said calmly, "and I must ask you to not raise your voice, fencing requires discipline of the mind and the emotion, a move made in anger is in bad form Young Master."

There was the sound of a loud clattering as Ciel threw down his foil and spun on his heel away from Sebastian.

"I am finished here!" He said his voice constrained and cold now.

"On the contrary, Young Master." He sighed a tiny bit showing that he was trying to be patient, but did not make a move to go after Ciel.

"If you continue stopping your lessons before they are finished you find the consequences most undesirable."

"I dont care! I dont need to learn this stupid stuff to be the head of the Phantomhive estate."

"I am forced to disagree with you Young Master, I would not be much of a butler or tutor of the Phantomhives if I let you shirk your responsibilities of your position. You may be the head of the Phantomhive estate, but you are still under-aged, and must submit to educational instruction." The Butler sighed pushes the tutor-type glasses on his face before continuing. "Now, you will turn around and continue this lesson till its finish. I promise you that I will not let you fail."

There was a long moment of silence, Ciel in the doorway glaring at Sebastian, the Butler calmly looking at him, eyes locked in this stand off, waiting for the Young Master to see reason and accept his help.

"No." Ciel said simply his expression clearly his feelings of defiance. and crossed the threshold of the morning room and disappeared down the hall, leaving the Butler/Tutor alone with long sigh.

"I had hoped it would not come to this, but Young Master you leave me with little choice." Sebastian spoke softly to himself and crossed the room to a mahogany colored desk, with his white gloved hand he pulled open the top drawer revealing a long slender rattan cane. It was now clear to him what his next lesson for the Young Master would be.
