Pandora's home is fairly average, containing all the amenities one would expect it to have (plus a very well-stocked refrigerator and shelves, of course). The area around it is mostly a clear field, though about 100 meters off in the distance behind the house, there are a number of trees, many of which have small holes in them from being shot at with arrows.
That said, let training begin!
"Think fast!"
THWACK. Out of nowhere, Tanith had crept up and sneak-attacked her stockier-built friend, causing the Akimichi to miss her target by several feet. "Owww. Taniiiiith, why'd you have to hit meeee?" Pandora's voice had a pleading tone to it. Her friend waved it aside before making her point. "I told you to think fast! If you can't do that, how're you gonna get to shoot that bow in a real battle?"
Pandora opened her mouth to protest, but quickly closed it. "Good point..." Tanith whacked her again. "Owww!" Evidently, this was going to take a while. "Think—" Pandora caught the next punch with her left hand. "—fast?" The Zassou girl smiled; the other girl was finally getting it. "Yes. Think fast. Now then..."
That said, she launched into a flurry of attacks. First a series of jabs, about half of which were either caught or pushed aside by Pandora's arms. The other half stung, but the Akimichi girl was...erm, 'padded' enough that it didn't hurt all that badly. She seemed to think she was doing pretty well; at least until Tanith slipped behind her again and clonked her over the head.
"I know you can do better than this! You've got an eye for detail. You should be able to tell when that happens." She sighed, then smirked. "Gimme that!" Making an attempt to grab the bow Pandora had put on her back after the failed shot seemed to trigger something. "Why?" Pandora turned to face Tanith, and this time when the Zassou vanished, she caught on. Leaning back, she saw where her friend kept striking from, but in doing so, fell flat on her back. "Owww..."
Tanith shook her head, but had an unmistakeable grin on her face. "You're getting it. Just don't fall over next time, okay?" Making another grab for the bow before vanishing again, results would start to show. Pandora ducked the blow this time, almost as if on a trained instinct. Trying to catch her off-guard by suddenly extending the range with vines actually failed as well, causing her to jump aside as the vines whipped where she previously stood.
This little 'game' turned into more of a deul a few seconds later, Tanith trying to ambush Pandora with Pandora trying to dodge. Her record wasn't quite perfect, but she continued to get better and better at predicting where and when the attacks would come from. Eventually, she found the time to whip out the bow and, while dodging, fire back at her friend—aiming for the least dangerous place to hit, of course.
A mass of vines dulled most of the arrow's force, but Tanith's response was the same. "Ow. That hurt." After pulling the arrow out—it hadn't gone in very deep, and Pandora always used an easy-to-remove type—she gave in. "I guess that's that." Pandora ducked—Tanith had tried to catch her off-guard with a sudden swipe of the vines while she said that. She shook her head, grinning. "We're crazy, aren't we?" Pandora shrugged, a smile on her own face.
"Crazy is good."
That said, let training begin!
Defensive Shot
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the Archer is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be an Archer.
