Azuma walked into the dojo his footsteps echoing against the cold stone floor. Stopping in the middle of the room he looks around, six square stone columns sit in front of every wall and to his right is a wooden door with iron hinges. The ceiling of the room is an extremely high dome with a glowing moss, which covers the stone illuminating the entire room.
Stretching a bit Azuma sits down into the middle of the room closing his eyes to meditate until his training partner came into the room.
"My lord, please allow me to help you in your upcoming training”
Azuma smiled at the offer from his overly polite inner hollow, remembering when he used to fear Hellias, before he understood that nobles don’t have the luxury to be afraid. |

Tok strode silently into the dome, his massive arms swaying as he glided into the area quickly observing his surroundings, checking for areas to attack from. The grace Tok displayed was surprising to most, the big man stood almos seven feet tall, was barrel chested, and had arms the size of most peoples legs. his topknot swayed silently as he walked his black shirt molded to his upper body not even making a soft swishing sound as he walked.
The area was an interesting place for a battle Tok mused as he carefully made his way towards Azuma. so many things could happen, so many tactics.....Tok's mind raced with the posibilites as he silently stepped out of the shadows facing Azuma. The large man stood silently awaiting Azuma's acknowledgement. While not necessary Tok felt an obligation to have the man recognize his presence, Azuma was after all a type of lord, and if that was his level then Tok would be a sort of samurai or general. Tok stood still having remained silent the entire time, his body was relaxed his arms crossed on his chest as he awaited Azuma's reaction.
((OOC if ur gonna join my plot, we could make this a pre thing, how Tok and Azuma met, it could be worked in after the training if you want))

Azuma opened his eyes as he felt the presence of another Vizard in the room. Raising to his feet he studied the gigantic man who had walked into the room. Looking him up and down his eyes studying every detail of the man for weaknesses the way he stood anything could reveal details of his training partner. After a few seconds past Azuma spoke is his normal polite and elegant manner, bowing his head slightly as he introduces himself.
”Good afternoon, My name is Azuma Fengarez would you be the sparring partner I have been waiting for?”
”awfully large fellow sire, in my experience I would guess he would fight using burst tactics, large area large damage with charging.”
Azuma’s spirit spoke, his stern but angelic voice cutting in as soon as Hellias finishes speaking, this all of course within Azuma’s mind.
”I would not be so quick to judge Hellias, I have seen men his side who could move with great speed, Azuma I would suggest a tactile approach keep your distance at first.”
”It is lord Azuma, but I agree a tactile approach it best, Mr. Mitsukai”,
a slight venom in his voice as he finishes his statement. (OoC: Sounds good to me, what power tier ranking is Tok?) |

Tok bowed slightly and with a nod of his head indicated that he was indeed Azuma's sparring partner. Azuma's heritage was a long and noble history of the Vaisards. Tok after becoming a Vaisard had learned of its history and recognized Azuma's sir name. Tok had been hoping for this moment, his plan was in play. Now he needed to persuade this man, this lord who saught the greater good....
Raising from his head he know stood facing the man, he still had not said a word and his body was still utterly relaxed, ease and confidence flowed from him. Pulling out his zanpakuto Tok took his stance. His blade was about a foot longer than most zanpakuto, but looked average next to his great size. the muscles in his arms twitched slightly easing into relaxation again quickly.
<<Lord Fengarez I cannot attack one such as yourself first, honor will not allow it.>>
This simple statement was the only noise and it revibrated through the hall "Honor....onor..nor" could be heard flitting through the dome as Tok waited patiently.
((OOC Mid Average, gonna try to get him upped))

Azuma smiled a little surprised by the large mans reserved and polite demeanor. Placing his hand on the hilt of his blade he spoke softly but sternly.
”Thank you, but know in combat we are all equals only strength sets us apart. So let’s begin”.
Azuma pulls on the handle of his blade slamming it forward towards Tok’s chest and then quickly back into the sheath while pushing back from the impact. He then shunpos behind the man opening with a round house kick towards his lower left ribs and then pushing off landing in a defensive stands his palms open the back one facing towards Tok the front facing the ceiling. Those attacks had been fast but he had sacrificed power a bit for speed in order to see how Tok would react, after all never under estimate any one. |

Tok nodded at Azuma's words. Suddenly Azuma moved forward drawing his blade. Tok reacted quickly slashing his blade against the hilt to push Azuma back. Azuma moved quickly striking Tok in the ribs then jumping back. Tok had followed the attacks, and could have parried the roundhouse kick, but he decided to let it hit him. The thud was loud as the kick landed.
Letting out a small grunt Tok stood still, seemingly unfazed by the attack. Staring, concentrating on Azuma the giant stood momentarily.
<<You are good, but wont last long without your sword.>>
Moving quickly Tok moved forward swiftly making a beeline for Azuma. A direct forward attack with tremendous power. Tok changed the angle of his sword so it pointed down, bringing it upward in a diagonal slash. The force of the attack is brutal, an extreme amount of force. After the attack Tok moved to the right making ready for another attack.

As the blade came up Azuma slammed the bracer around his arm into the attack. Using the moment to slam the flat of his palm against the flat of the blade he calls out "Sho" the momentum of the thrust of energy from his palm and the press of the hit propelling him up and around he brings his foot around towards Tok's head, the momentum from the kido, sword swipe, and the force of his regular kick combining to add tremendous force to the kick.
He lands and speaks again his tone polite and elegant.
”You’ll find I use my blade rather sparingly, do not confuse this with holding back if I was doing that I would draw my weapon.”
Azuma then drops into his standard stance waiting for Tok to retaliate his inner hollow speaking in his head.
”My liege you reveal too much, though I will admit I like the polite tone of the fighter. He understands how to address nobility unlike others I know... The point is I would suggest that you withhold the unnecessary information.”
”Hellias, this is a friendly sparring match. I would not have him hold back because he thinks I need a blade.” |

The propulsion of Azuma's Sho attack pushed Tok backwards while Azuma pushes his attack. Azuma goes to kick his head but the Sho attack moved his backwards just enought to have the attack miss. Tok stands staight addressing the Lord infront of him. <<A strange miscalculation on your part. But I will not hold back now.>> Tok ran forward again his body tilted and his sword in an upwards diagonal angle this time. He was much quicker this time moving left then right. He suddenly dropped low going for a leg sweep then jumping up while bringing his blade downwards towards Azuma's shoulder. <<I will make you draw your sword!!>> |

”It seem’s you don’t believe me, I suppose I’ll have to prove my point.”
Azuma steadies him self as Tok nears following every movement waiting for the right moment. Tok rises up into the air his blade gleaming in the glow of the room, ”Sai”. The weak kido would probably bind Tok’s arms for a second or two but that’s all Azuma would need. Shunpoing in front of Tok as soon as the spell is released, He slams two open palms towards the giant’s chest with tremendous force then pointing two fingers at him ”Byakurai”. The bolt of electric energy flies from his hand hurling towards the man, the air around it crackling with an electrical charge.
Azuma stands the wind from his attack lifting his long black hair lightly and the glow of the bolt reflecting in his black chest plate. Clenching his fists and then extending his fingers he cracks his knuckles lowering his stance and preparing for Tok, he’d have to fight smarter than the head on charge to win here. |

Tok stumbled backwards from the attack stunned. Shaking himself he readjusts his grip then looks down at the man in front of him. Tok's body is having small spasms from the electricity.
<I see now.>>
Changing his stance Tok's demeanor changed he seemed more serious more deadly. He understood that Azuma did not use his sword that much, and was prepared now. Moving to the left Tok began to circle Azuma, searching for a spot, an opening. The circling continued for a minute or two, both men eyeing each other. Tok was holding his blade in his right hand, his eyes small and hawk like.
Suddenly Tok moved. Shunpoing he moved forward, a straight forward attack again it looked like. Shunpoing again to get closer the attack looked inevitable. At the last second Tok disappeared. Azuma could not see him, then he appeared behind Azuma landing a left hook into Azuma's ribs. Tok moved backwards raising his blade in a defensive stance. Tok had just used one of his special abilities, he had layered sonido and shunpo to increase his speed.
