The Founding of Rumble.

Chapter 25: An interesting Student

Jayda took a few moments to modify her shield then showed how the new handhold would give her more leverage then showed her a few new moves to use. "Go practise that against a dummy." She nodded and walked over to the dummy. Frey walked over to watch and figure out how this woman had come up with this unique fighting style and see if she could steal any of the skills.

Jayda made a bo staff appear in her hands. "Okay, staff fighters, attack me." There were seven staff fighters, and all had similar skills simply diverse ways to execute them. Once Jayda had sampled each of their styles she stopped the fight and started to add to the skills they had, for the sole woman she showed her she should use her flexibility, to flip and use gravity to add force for the men she encouraged them to get faster and told one he was using a lot of unnecessary movements which would wear him out. She then sent them off to practise what she had shown them.

Leeanne returned in her Hakama. Jayda smiled at the rope dart user, "You attack her."

She hesitated for a moment before Leeanne just smiled at her. "I doubt you'll hit me; my teacher is a beast with a rope dart."

The woman nodded and started to use the flowing style that was used for the weapon. Leeanne used the smallest amount of movement to dodge the dart which shot out at her face. Jayda watched as the two moved for several minutes before Jayda stopped them.

"Did you see it?" Jayda asked Leeanne.

Leeanne thought for a moment before she nodded. "The sharpness of some of the moves aren't right."

Jayda nodded and made a rope dart appear in her hands, Leeanne gulped but got ready, the woman stepped back to watch and was surprised when Jayda attacked Leeanne with the weapon in her hand, Leeanne again moved in the flowing style taught her only just managing to dodge the attacks.

Jayda caught her dart, "I can't really teach you much you've almost mastered it as is, but did you notice the difference in our force?"

She nodded, "Speed equals force, I need more speed."

"Also, your dart, could possibly be made a little bigger and heavier." Jayda added and she nodded.

"Come I can show you a drill my teacher taught me which is all about different levels of force which should help you learn how to moderate your force." Leeanne stated and they walked further away as the dart and rope weapon had a larger range then most handheld weapons.

After another half, an hour the last of the students were away and practising the new skills or techniques taught to them. Jayda went around correcting and adding. Helping the students to start to master their chosen weapons.

A few hours later Jayda clapped her hands, "Okay, we're done, I hope that this class has helped you." The group smiled, it was hard to find someone who could teach them as their weapons weren't common, so when they got the chance they always jumped at it.

Jayda stopped by the shield warrior, "I am holding my Sword basics and master class this afternoon and tomorrow morning, you should come, let's see if we can find you a partner."

She nodded, "I am actually in your master class tomorrow."

Jayda frowned, "Wait... so..."

She sighed, "I lost my sword once in a fight with a horde of orcs, it was intense, and I couldn't just hide behind my shield, or I would die. So, I started to use my shield as my weapon and I figured out how to make it work, I even went to a blacksmith and had a new, custom shield made so that I could use it as a weapon. I then decided to practise it. Just in case it happened again, and it did."

"So, no secondary weapon?" Jayda asked.

"That was my secondary and my reserve. When I heard about your other weapon styles class I decided to give it a shot and see if you could show me a few new things, and you did, I just wish I could spar with people, I think it would help me grow." She stated.
