A/N I'm gonna' try to make this another long chapter. :D And apperantly rape isn't rape if you enjoy it. XD Oh, and I might be doing a seperate fic involving Samara, Cam and Fred, but I'll need some ideas for it. Said seperate fic will cross with this one and will be from Samara's P.O.V.
"Crap!" Brandon called, catching her in his arms. Lord Death looked at Brandon with a confused expression, waiting for an explanation as to why Alice fainted. 'Shit. Why am I always stuck lying when I suck at it?' he thought to himself, watching Lord Death's stare.
"Alice has a...uh...screw this, I can't lie for shit." he said, giving up on trying. "I don't know why she does it, but she will just randomly faint at times." he said, readjusting her body so her arm was over his shoulder.
Under his mask, Lord Death wore a thoughtful expression. "Would you mind explaining why she was afraid the whole time?"
"To be honest, I think she was afraid of your power." Brandon said, thinking of a hypothesis for her fear.
"Hm... well, anyway I'm afraid I have another job for you. No one has offered training the new students, and I thought you'd be able to take the job." The reaper explained.
"Alright. Who are the students?" Brandon asked.
"We have both Alex and Samara." Lord Death said.
"Ok, I'll go bring Alice home, and then I'll come back to meet them." Brandon said, readjusting Alice since she was starting to fall.
"OK~! Have fun~!" Lord Death called as Brandon dragged his weapon out of the room. He dragged her put of the front door and then picked her up when they reached the stairs. He then walked down the stairs and jogged quickly back to there house. He reached it after about 15 minutes, and opened the door. He laid her down on her bed, then went to the shower and wet a towel, and came back to where she was lying and put it on her head. He then got into the Mustang and drove back to the academy. He walked up the stairs, and saw five kids talking in the courtyard. He then began walking towards them.
"Hey, are any of you Alex or Samara?" he asked, approaching the group.
A small girl, that appeared to be fourteen years old, turned around. She had light brown-almost blonde-hair and violet eyes. She wore a scarf and coat, which was odd considering they were in the middle of a desert. "Hello." she said with a light Russian accent. "I am Samara Romanov."
"I'm Alex." one of the boys said. He was short, approximately 5'2", and was wearing a black hoodie and bootcut jeans, along with black Vans sneakers.
"Good. I'm Brandon, your new teacher." Brandon said, taking note of both meisters. "I'm guessing these three are your weapons?" he said, gesturing his hand towards the remaining kids.
A couple of boys turned to face Brandon. They both had red hair and green cat-like eyes. They both wore purple shirts, orange scarves and jeans. "Yes. We're Samara's weapons!" they said in perfect unison. They both spoke with irish accents.
"My name Fred Winston," the one on the left said.
"And I'm Cameron Winston." the boy on the right said. "But people call always me Cam, so you can, too~!"
"Hello, I am Stephane." a girl said timidly. She was very tall for her age, being about 5'6", and had long pink hair she wore a white button-up shirt with a long skirt that was a vibrant shade of pink and glasses over her large, pink eyes.
"What are your transformations?" Brandon inquired, taking a mental note of all of personal and their names.
"Fred and Cam are twin blades." Samara said.
"OK, Cam! Time to transform!" Fred said, and the twins-often referred to as the Cheshire Twins-jumped up and transformed into blades, landing in Samara's hands. They were both Katanas with iron blades. One of them, probably Fred, had a dark purple hilt with black stripes, while the other, most likely Cameron, had a white hilt with gray stripes.
"Impressive." Brandon said, impressed by the sight before him.
"And how about you?" he asked, turning the Stephane.
"I can either be a Benelli M4 Super 90, a Remmington ACR 6.8, or a PSG1." Stephane listed.
"Really? You're a gun?" Brandon asked in surprise, not expecting an innocent looking girl to be a firearm.
"Stephane, transform." Alex instructed, and she began glowing. She soon materialized into the M4, than the ACR, than the PSG1.
"Now that we know each other, how about we have a sparring match so I can see how you fight?" Brandon offered.
"Sure." Samara replied. "But, if I may ask, where is your weapon, teacher?"
"She passed out earlier, so she is at home, recovering." Brandon explained.
"Then how will you fight?" Stephane asked, appearing confused.
"I will only blocking your attacks." Brandon said.
"Alright~!" said one of the Cheshire Twins. "But next time we fight, we wanna' see your cute, little weapon." Samara nodded, before charging at Brandon with the sword with the purple hilt.
Brandon quickly dodged, quickly grabbing Samara's arm as the sword went by. He then pulled her so that she continued going in the original direction she came from, struggling to stop. He then saw Alex charging at him, firing the Benelli. He ducked under the shots that were being fired at him, running towards the shotgun. He quickly reached it, pulling the barrel down and pointing it at Alex's foot and pulled Alex's right arm upwards, forcing him to fire the shot. Alex began hoping and grabbing his foot, rubbing it to ease the pain. Brandon righted himself back up, seeing that Samara was about to attack again.
This time, Samara jumped up and crossed her swords so that were in the shape of an 'X'. She brought them down quickly. Brandon watched her on her fall, and saw a glint of metal out of the corner of his eye. He looked quickly and saw it was the Benelli, and quickly grabbed it. He then changed his soul frequency as to match Stephane's. He brought the gun up so that it was sideways, and used it to block Samara's attack.
It was at that time when they heard someone run into the courtyard. Of course it was a familiar smirking, red-eyed weapon. "This ain't a fight without me around~!" she chimed, running toward the commotion.
"Holy... Cam, I was wrong when said she was cute..." Fred said, his image showing up in one of the blades. "She is freakin' sexy!"
"Guys, we're in the middle of a fight!" Samara shouted, looking back and forth at both swords. "You can flirt later!"
"Alright, alright!" Fred replied. Alice transformed and fell into Brandon's hands. Then Samara charged at Brandon again. Brandon used Alice to block a horizontal slice, then threw the shotgun up in the air, catching it on the barrel, and swung that at the blade, knocking Samara off balance.
'Nice of you to show up.' Brandon thought to Alice, using his sword to block another slice.
'I've got a sixth sense for fights, but my head still hurts like hell...' Alice thought back, before Samara regained her balance and charged again.
She stuck out one sword, but kept one close to her stomach in case Brandon decided to block the attack again.
'She's adaptable. That's good.' he thought, jumpin to the left g to dodge the attack.
Samara slashed at Brandon, and when he tried to block she jabbed the other sword in his direction, missing his ear by half of an inch. He saw the sword go by, and brought the gun up along the center of his chest and knocked the sword away with it. He then heard a swooshing sound behind him and ducked. He turned on his heels and saw the follow-through of a punch thrown by Alex. He then stood up, hitting Alex's chin with the butt of the gun. He then shoved the shotgun into Alex's chest and pushed him away when the boy grabbed it. He then quickly turned around, being forced to block to avoid getting impaled in the chest by one of Samara's swords.
"Hey, Samara! Can we stop fighting now?" One of the twins asked.
"Why?" Samara responded.
"Because you said we could flirt with the hot sword-girl when we were done fighting!" the other twin replied.
"No. Not until Teacher dismisses us." Samara said, once again charging toward Brandon.
'Teacher? Haha! What kind of nickname is Teacher?' Alice thought to Brandon.
'Eh, at least she respects my authority.' he thought back, parrying the charge. She continued charging forward, and Brandon seized the opportunity. He used the flat side of his sword and slapped the top of Samara's hand, making her drop the sword in that hand. Brandon then quickly grabbed the handle as it was falling, and quickly matched his wavelength with the wavelength coming off of the sword. Samara slashed with her other sword, a bit lazily. She was getting tired.
Brandon quickly blocked with the new sword, and saw a flash of blue fly by his head. He quickly glanced back and saw Alex was shooting at him with the Benelli. He let go of the new sword, Samara falling off balance since she was using it to secretly lean on. He then quickly reached back behind him, grabbing the barrel of the shotgun and quicklyit foward and let go, throwing Alex into Samara. They then landed in a pile on the ground, one on top of the other.
"Class dismissed." Brandon said, Alice transforming back into her human form.
Samara stared at Brandon, amazed while Fred and Cam transformed back into humans and stalked over to Alice. Cam put an arm around her shoulder, as did Fred.
"Hello, hottie~!" Fred said. "My name is Frederick Winston, but you can call me Fred."
"I'm Cameron, but my nickname is Cam." Cam said. They both gave her cat-like smirks.
Needless to say, Alice wasn't effected by their flirting and just looked at them with a serious expression.
"Guys, no hitting on your teacher." Brandon instructed.
"But she's a hot teacher!" Fred whined.
Cam turned to Alice. "So what's your name, Miss?"
"My name is Alice." The red-eyed teen replied.
"Trust me, you do not want to get involved with her. She will torture you, using your hormones to make you want more, then cut you off completely." he warned, glaring at Alice.
"Pfft, doesn't mean she's not completely sexy." Fred countered.
"Are you jealous, Mr. Brandon?" Cam asked.
"Guys, stop torturing Teacher." Samara said, only to be ignored.
"No, i'm not jealous. I'm just trying to stop you two from making a horrible mistake." he said, beginning to get a little annoyed.
"I think you are~!" Fred teased.
"Please excuse them!" Samara pleaded. "They're twins..."
"Hey!" Cam shouted indignantly. "Not all twins are as weird as us!"
"There's no argument there..." Brandon muttered under his breathe, trying to calm down. Alice simply chuckled at his annoyance, then started poking Alex.
"What the hell are you doing?" the boy asked, surprised by her sudden desire to annoy him.
"You don't really talk much, do you?" Alice asked and stopped poking him.
"No. I like to keep to myself." he mumbled, flipping up the hood on his hoodie.
"I bet you don't really do much, either." she replied.
"No." he replied, feeling awkward having the conversation. The only other person he enjoyed talking to was Stephane.
"If you were a pet you'd be pretty damn boring. I know! You just need to have some fun~!" she said, wearing an expression she called 'rape face'. He immediately became scared, not knowing how to react. Luckily for him, Brandon glanced over at them and saw what was happening.
"Alice, leave him alone." Brandon instructed, walking up behind her.
"Hey!" she said as Brandon dragged her away. "It's not like I was gonna' rape the poor guy or anything..."
"And that's why he was scared shitless by that face you made? That's a rape face if I ever saw one." he said, dragging her. "You guys can go home. We will meet here again tomorrow at 9:00!" he called, dragging Alice to the car.
"Oh, c'mon! Have I ever lied to you? I mean, in this location? Seriously now. Like I would rape him! ...It's not rape if you enjoy it." Alice replied, getting into the car.
"From the looks of it, he wasn't enjoying it. In fact, if I hadn't interjected, he could have possibly pussed his pants in fear." Brandon said, climbing into the driver's seat and starting the engine.
"Pffft, quit insultin' the new kid!" she said, slapping Brandon in the back of the head.
"I'm not insulting him!" he said, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, and began driving. "I'm pretty sure anyone would piss themselves in fear if they had to look at the face you made for more than five seconds." Alice just chuckled pervertedly. "What?" he asked, confused as to why she was laughing.
"Well, you'd probably be nosebleeding at the implications." Alice replied.
"Quite possibly." he replied, thinking about it. Alice chuckled again. They drove in quiet, until Brandon broke the silence. "What were you trying to do that night?" he asked, thinking back to the night she was completely out of character.
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"That night. You know, when we got back from NYC."
"In the RV or when we actually got home?"
"When we got home, after you visited with Nygus." he clarified.
"Like I said, it was pay-back for taping me up in the RV."
"You could have gotten your revenge in many different-and possibly worse-ways, so why did you choose that one?" the meister asked, still trying to figure it out.
"I figured that would be the best way to get you back, considering how perverted you can be sometimes." Alice replied.
"Still..." he said, but never finished, drifting off into a daydream.
"Still what?" Alice asked.
"...nothing." he said, looking away but still keeping one eye on the road.
"...Whatever." Alice said, looking in the opposite direction.
They drive home in silence, where Brandon parked the car. "I'm going to get the truck." he said, walking out of the door.
"OK." Alice said going inside. "I'll wait for you here." she said, sitting on the bed. He jogged quickly to the paint shop, and got into the truck. He re-hotwired the truck and backed out of the booth. He drove quickly home, opening the garage and pulling the truck in.
"I'm back." he said, getting out of the driver's seat and closing the door.
"Hm?" Alice looked in his direction. "Welcome back."
"Thanks." he said, grabbing a pair of pajamas and getting into the shower to change. Alice changed into her pajamas while Brandon was still in the shower. He quickly finished changing, and came out before she was done. He opened the curtain, and saw Alice with only her slutty shirt and panties. His nose immediately began trickling blood.
Alice put her pants on before she noticed Brandon. "Dear Gott, not again..." she said, hoping he wasn't still horny.
"What?" he asked, snapping to attention, wiping the blood off of his nose.
"...Nothing, Brandon. Nothing at all..." Alice replied.
"Ok." he replied, wiping more blood away. He then checked his phone.
"It's 9:00. We need to be up and dressed by 8:00 so we can meet our students tomorrow morning." he said, putting his phone away in his pajama pocket.
"OK. We should discuss our next lesson. I have one in mind that even you might need some help with." Alice said.
"What is it?' Brandon asked, lying down on the futon.
"This technique has kept me from bleeding to daeth more times than I can count," Alice replied, breathing deeply. "It's something I like to call 'Shut the fuck up and calm down'." she chuckled. "Kidding, It's actually a breathing technique. If you have a fatal wound, you have to calm down, as you should know by now. This technique focuses on taking long, deep breaths and controlling the amount of blood coming out of your body. For weapon and meister pairs, this should especially helpful because it'll give your partner enough time to get help if you use it correctly."
"I'm guessing I need to get stabbed in this exercise?" Brandon asked.
She chuckled. "No, you don't. For now, we'll just focus on the breathing part."
"That's good. Besides, even if I screw up, I could always heal myself and be fine." he said, stretching.
"That's why you need to know this. If you fight an opponent who can paralyse your soul, you will not be able to heal yourself!" Alice said in an urgent, teacher-like tone of voice.
"Been there, done that, lived through it." he said.
"You most likely had someone with you. Maka, right?" Alice said, raising an eyebrow. "Lets not dwell on that. I need you to know how to do this before tomorrow. It's harder than you think for impatient people like us." she said, getting into a meditation position.
"I'll follow your lead." he said, getting into a meditation position. "Though I find it difficult you would be able to get into this position if you had a peirced lung or something or the sort."
"No, this is just to start off with. I find it easier to calm down in this position, so it's what we'll start with. When everyone of the students have mastered this, we will no long use this position." Alice said. "Now, clear your mind." Brandon cleared his mind, and all of his senses, and found himself in a state of calmness and relaxedness. Alice also cleared her mind, she, too, entering the relaxed state. "Now, take a long, deep breath." she said, taking long, deep breaths. Brandon did as instructed, filling his lungs to maximum capacity then releasing it slowly. "Now, I need you to feel your pulse. It shouldn't have slowed down much, and if I feel it for you it could distract the lesson." Alice instructed. "It's necessary for you to do while your trying to master this technique. When you do master it, you will no longer need to do this." Brandon slowly lifted his left hand and placed it on his right wrist. He quickly found his pulse, while preserving his clear mind.
"And now?" he asked, keeping his eyes closed.
"Focus on your wavelength. Try to slow it, you'll know it's working when your pulse slows." Alice replied. Brandon slowed his wavelength, using his ability to change it to make the process much easier and quicker.
"I did it." he responded, feeling his pulse start to slow.
"OK. That's it." Alice said, shifting out of her meditative pose. "That's the technique."
"I could probably do that without all of the meditation right now." he said, getting out of the position, which had turned uncomfortable.
"A lot of people can't, so I decided to make you do it. Congrats, you've mastered it." his partner said.
"Thanks. I bet it's going to be hard to get Fred and Cam to do it without trying to hit on you every five seconds." Brandon joked, lying back down on the futon. Alice chuckled, lying on the bed. "Alice, what ever you do, DO NOT try to seduce them." Brandon instructed.
"I won't. I only did that to you because I wanted revenge." Alice replied, giving Brandon a Cheshire-Cat grin.
"Revenge for what?" Brandon asked, confused.
"...For taping me to the RV with duct-tape, dumkopf." Alice responded, amazed at her meister's stupidity.
"You already got revenge for that!" the meister shot back.
"...Brandon, that's what I was taking about. If I'm remembering this correctly, I only seduced you once." Alice replied.
"Yes, you did." Brandon said, remembering back to what was possibly the best night of his life.
"Exactly."
"Do you understand what I'm saying? I said don't seduce Fred and Cam." he said, becoming confused as to what she was talking about.
"I won't, I won't!" Alice promised. "On a side note, did you know 'meister' is German for 'master'?"
"I had a hunch." he said, grinning. He then began thinking about the technique he just learnt. "Hey Alice, stand up for a second. I wanna test something." he said, getting into a sitting position.
"OK." she replied, standing. He looked over at her, dressed in her slutty clothes, and immediately got a nosebleed. He then focused his wavelength in onto the frequency he achieved earlier, and wiped the blood off of his face. He then wiped his bloodied hand on his pant leg, and waited about two seconds before wiping again. he pulled his hand back, and saw his hand was clean.
"Hey, I can stop my nosebleeds now using that technique." he said.
"..." Alice just gave him a blank stare.
"Hey, it could prove useful one day." he said, noticing her stare.
"How?" she replied apathetically.
"In case we run into another wendigo, and it's a hot chick." Brandon replied, quickly coming up with a scenario where controlling his nosebleed would be helpful.
"If we ran into another Wendigo, it'd of already smelled you by then." Alice said, covering her nose. "You reek so much of humanity, even I wanna' puke!"
"Would you rather the smell of insanity?" he asked, aggravated by her insult.
"Yeah. Amazing as this may sound," Alice replied. "Humans have a very distinct smell, and it's not a very pleasant one, either. It gets worse when someone uses perfume or cologne. Insanity, however, actually smells like... like... I can't describe it, but it's a pleasant smell." Alice smiled. "Humans don't know this because their senses aren't developed enough." she said, tapping her nose.
"Then take a deep wiff." he said, changing his soul wavelength so that his soul was emitting the insanity wavelength, the smell of insanity quickly overwhelming his smell.
Alice looked at him like he was stupid, before laying back down on the bed. "Just go to sleep, we need to wake up early tomorrow." she said, before drifting off into sleep.
"Fine." he said, changing his wavelength back to normal, and quickly fell asleep.
Alice woke at 6:57, she figured it was close enough to seven, so she woke Brandon. "We've got an hour, three minutes and forty-five seconds to get ready and get to the DWMA courtyard to teach the newbies."
"Why do you have s much energy in the morning?" the meister asked groggily, waking up.
Alice thought for a moment. "...Eh, it must be a Kishin thing, 'cause it's the same with Kidd. Uh, the one in MY universe. " she said nervously. "Anyway, we need to get there by exactly 8:00 so we can have an hour to discuss what else to teach our 'students' if they master the technique before we dissmiss class. Maybe some self-defense training? I'll teach the weapons and you teach the meisters. Now get up, or we'll be late!"
"Fine, sheesh." he said, standing up off of the futon and grabbed new clothes. "I'm showering first." he said, walking into the shower. He showered quickly, and came out fully dressed. "Your turn."
Alice took a shower and got dressed so fast she appeared to be just a blur. She grabbed Brandon's sleeve and ran to the courtyard just as fast. "Oh, 7:50. We're early. Oh well. Time to plan, Gott I am talking a lot today. I'm just so excited, I've always wanted to be a teacher here at the academy. Hehehe! I'm so HYPER! Oh dear, how am I gonna' calm down before the students arrive? Oh well, I'll deal with that later~!" Alice said, almost too fast for Brandon to understand anything she was saying.
"Would you mind taking a chill pill?" Brandon asked, still a little groggy.
"A what?"
"It's an expression meaning calm the fuck down." he said, becoming irritable by her constant talking.
"Oh. Sorry, it just happens when I'm nervous..."
"Why are you nervous? Just say what you've learned through persional experience and answer the occasional question. It's easy." he said, leaning against the railing in the courtyard.
"Most of my personal experience is what i've learned from being a kishin." Alice dead-panned.
"Ok then, say what you've learned during your stay at the academy." he said.
"That ain't much, but I'll try..." Brandon then saw the group at the bottom of the stairs.
"Here they come." he said, nodding his head towards the students. Samara, Cam and Fred were the first in the courtyard.
Samara bowed. "Good morning, Teachers."
Fred and Cam once again stalked over to Alice. "Hello Miss Alice." they said in unison.
"Good morning." Brandon said. Alex and Stephane quickly followed.
"Good morning, Teacher." Stephane said, bowing. Alex just looked at the two instructors and put his hoodie up.
"Now that everyone is here, we can discuss what we will be doing today." Brandon said with a loud enough voice for all of the students to hear.
Cam and Fred turned to face their teacher. "So, what ARE we learning today, Brandon?"
"Today, Alice and I are teaching you a technique that is vital to survival. There is always the real danger of getting hurt while fighting a Kishin, and this technique will help you slow bleeding out of you get injured." Brandon explained. "Alice, you begin."
Alice assumed the meditative position. Everyone else copied her. "First of all, it's an honor to be teaching such an excellent class. Today, you will be learning a breathing technique, then me and Professor Brandon will be teaching some self-defense techniques. Any questions?" Alex seemed to perk up at the mention of self-defense.
"What type of self defense?" he asked.
"I will teach the meisters how to defend themselves if their weapon are unable to fight." Brandon said. "Now, clear your minds of all thoughts." All students did as they were told.
"Now, I want you to check your pulse." Alice said. The students obeyed, some feeling their wrists and others felt their necks. "Now breathe in and out. Very slow, deep breathes." the weapon instructed, breathing deeply. Everyone started to inhale and exhale.
"Now, focus on your own wavelength. If you are breathing correctly, your soul frequency should decrease, which in turn will decrease your pulse." Brandon finished, following along with the steps. Samara had managed to successfully preform the technique. Fred and Cam still had trouble with it, though.
"Cam, Fred. Concentrate." Alice instructed. It took a few tries, but eventually the Cheshire Twins managed to slow their wavelengths. Alex struggled, but then correctly slowed his wavelength. Stephane did it correctly on her first try, doing it once again to make sure she could do it properly.
"Well, I was thinking that would've taken longer." Brandon said, standing up.
"As did I." Alice replied. "OK, time to learn some self-defense. Meisters- follow Brandon. Weapons- come with me."
The two meisters followed Brandon to one end of the courtyard, while the three weapons followed Alice to the other end.
"I will be right back." Brandon said, walking briskly towards the academy. He walked in and quickly found the training supply room. He grabbed a wooden katana, machete, dagger, and long sword. He then walked briskly back outside.
"When fighting kishin, there is always the possibility of your weapon being incapacitated. The most important thing at that moment is defending yourself and your fallen weapon. You may not think so, but every part of the human body can be used as a weapon. By understanding this concept, you will be able to defend yourself, even when you don't have a weapon." Brandon explained, lying the wooden weapons on the ground.
"OK, weapons! Listen up!" Alice called harshly, attracting fearful stares from each weapon. "I will be teaching you what to do if your partner or partners are knocked out or can't fight." The weapons nodded at their teacher, waiting for more helpful information. "As weapons, you can turn any part of your body into a weapon." Alice demonstrated by turning her fingernails into 1-foot-long blades. "As weapons, you are also required to protect your partners at any costs. This is vital." The weapons eagerly listened. "So not only will this be a Self Defense lesson, It will also teach you Battle Strategy and new fighting techniques. Now, I want each of you to turn a part of your body into a weapon and attack me."
Stephane shyly walked up. She then turned her right arm into the Benelli, and blasted Alice in the chest at point-blank range.
The bullet hit Alice, but did not give her a fatal wound. There was a bit of blood coming out of her mouth, though, which her look very frightening. "OK, Stephane~! Prepare yourself!" Alice jumped up, crossing her 'claw's, hoping that Stephane would be smart enough to dodge.
Stephane stood wide-eyed as she saw Alice swing at her, completely frozen in fright, but jumped out of the way at the last second. "Good. You were afraid, but reacted anyway." Alice grinned, more blood coming out of her mouth. She slashed at Stephane, dangerously close to her face.
Stephane quickly stepped back, but lost her balance and fell. "Alright Stephane. That is all." Alice said, looking down at her. "Cam," she turned to face the twin. "C'mere."
"These are the common weapons of the kishins you will be facing." Brandon said. "Claws, Machetes, Katanas, Daggers, and Two-handed swords." he said, gesturing his hands at all of them, excluding claws since he didn't have a pair to demonstrate with. "Alex, hold this." Brandn said, throwing a machete at the boy. Alex quickly catched the sword, and looked back at his teacher for further directions. "Slash at me." Brandon instructed, and Alex quickly complied,throwing a rightward horizontal slash.. "The trick is," Brandon started, dodging the slash by going beneath the sword, "is to disarm the kishin." he finished, grabbing Alex's wrist and bending it backwards slightly. This didn't hurt Alex, but forced him to drop the weapon. "Then, you use the kishin's weapon against itself. You do not aim to kill the Kishin, since that would take too much time. You want to slow its progress so it can't follow you as you escape." he said. He then spun around behind Alex, and quickly dragged the blade of the weapon against the back of his kneecap. "The ideal spots are the legs, since legs are vital to transportation. Arms might buy you enough time to escape with a weak Kishin, but a strong one will fight through the pain and continue its chase." he said,lying the weapon down next to the other ones.
"Teacher, what should we do now? Attack eachother savagely like Alice's group?" Samara asked, pointing toward Alice fighting with one of the twins.
"I guess hand-to-hand combat would be a good next lesson." he said, thinking about it. "Here, throw a punch at me." he said, raising his fists so that he was in a fighting stance. Samara raised her fists and punched Brandon in the nose. Brandon quickly slapped her punch away, and prepared himself for another. Samara kicked him in the ear. He brought his left hand to his temple, blocking the kick with his forearm. He then braced himself for another attack. Samara then aimed to punch his stomach.
He grabbed her fist with his left hand as she punched. He then put his right palm on the outside of her elbow and stuck his foot in front of one of hers. He then pushed with his right hand and pulled with his left causing Samara to fall. He then moved his right hand to the inside of her arm as she was falling, and caught her about two inches off of the ground. He then pulled her back up to her feet.
Samara looked at Alice's group. "This is easy compared to what THEY'RE doing..." she spoke, seeing that the twin Alice was currently fighting had a few scratches on his face and shoulders, while Alice herself was bleeding from wounds in her chest and stomach and blood was pouring out of her mouth. "Eh... I'm glad I'm not them... Please promise me our class will never escalate to that level." she said, throwing another punch towards Brandon's face.
"Weapons are supposed to sacrifice their lives if it means their meister can survive, so they can take a lot more damage." Brandon said, blocking the punch.
"I'm a bit worried about them." Samara said, trying to kick her instructor's face. "Is Miss Alice supposed to bleeding like that?" Brandon quickly blocked the kick, and then lowered his hands back down to his side.
"I'll go check on them." Brandon said, and began walking towards the weapon group. "Alice!" he called as he grew nearer to the fight.
Cam turned to face Brandon, Alice then punched Cam in the face which knocked him 10 feet away. "Don't let your guard down, Cam. she said before turning to Brandon. "'Sup?"
"Would you mind pulling it back a little? You're gonna kill them if you keep it up." he said, changing his wavelength and healed her.
Alice looked at Cam, who she'd knocked unconscious. "Oops... Sorry."
"Shit." he said, looking at his uncondious body. "I'll take him to the infirmary, you continue training them. But keep it down so I don't have to drag more of them to the Nurse." Brandon said, lifting the student's unconscious body and walked inside. He quickly found the infirmary and walked in. "Nygus?" he asked, attempting to get the nurse's attention.
"Yes, Brandon? What may I do for you?" The woman asked, not even turning around.
"Alice and I were having a training session with some of the younger students, and Alice went a bit overboard." he said, lying Cam down on one of the beds.
Nygus grabbed some bandages from the cabinet. "Alice isn't used to holding back, is she?"
"Not at all." he replied, moving so the nurse could treat Cam.
Nygus inspected the wounds on Cam's face, shoulders and arms. "He'll be fine. He just needs some rest." she said, wrapping up his face, arms and shoulders in bandages.
"Thanks Nygus." Brandon said, and walked out of the infirmary.
When he left the building, Samara ran up to him worriedly. "Is Cam OK?"
"Yea, he just needs a little rest." he said, reassuring the worried student. "I also told Alice to turn it down a little, so it shouldn't happen again."
"OK." Samara said, a bit less worried. "Does she always fight like that?"
"Yea." he replied plainly.
"Oh my god..." The meister whispered in a raspy voice. "I need to learn how to fight like that!"
"She has special training." he replied, thinking about it.
"Hm. I wonder who trained her." Samara wondered out loud.
"I don't know either. She just told me she has special training." Brandon replied, shrugging.
"I'll ask after class." Samara said.
"I doubt she will tell you." Brandon mumbled. "We should take a small break." he said, walking over to where the meisters were originally standing.
"Worth a shot." Samara said, following Brandon.
"Alice! It's time for a break!" he called to his weapon.
"Alright, weapons. We're gonna' take a break now." Alice called to her students and the group weapon walked to the other side of the courtyard to rejoin their meisters.
"We will meet back here in an hour." Brandon said as everyone gathered. "When we come back, I will teach you guys some basic first-aid."
"You're dismissed." Alice said. Everyone left except Samara.
The meister walked up to Alice. "Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"Uh, it's a family fighting style. The rest of my family is dead so I'm the only one who can teach someone those attacks." Alice said plainly.
"Can you teach me?"
"I'm not sure how a meister would use those techniques, but sure. I'll teach them to you tomorrow. Now leave." Alice replied appathetically. Samara left, leaving Alice alone with Brandon. She turned to her meister. "I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat?"
