"This soul stuff just doesn't make sense." She griped as she headed towards what was essentially a freezer. Minerva's voice in her head chastised her and she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." She mocked as she opened the door to the freezer and stepped inside. It was a matter of effort not to allow her Kaishin blood to take over and protect her from the cold, no she had to let her soul do that. She sat down tailor style and closed her eyes, focusing on the weird energy that was her soul, as if that would somehow protect her from the elements.

Let your soul surround you.

"Control your soul, take lessons from ghosts." Mayu muttered darkly but she tried to listen to what she was told. She found the energy and let it rise up and surround her like a blanket. She imagined it draping over her face, her neck, body, hands, and everything. It settled around her now. Now she was quiet, listening for the next set of instructions.

Let warmth fill it. Gather thoughts of warmth and let it imbue your soul with that power.

"Think warm thoughts, really?" It was impossible to keep the sarcasm from her voice. She continued to mutter under her breath as she tried to conjure 'warm thoughts'. What did that even mean? Summer days? Greenhouses? Tropical islands? As she thought these images she did not even realize that her body temperature was beginning to regulate, even her legs that were pressed against the cold metal floor no longer felt cold. It was really something else, that her soul could do something like this. After a minute her eyes opened and she glanced around, surprised by what was happening.

She exhaled deeply and found that her breath wasn't even creating clouds in the cold. "Well I'll be damned." She muttered. Cautiously she pressed her bare fingers against the frozen metal but she couldn't even feel the difference in temperatures.

You're naturally inclined to cold however, you need to try with heat.

"Yeah, yeah. Never good enough." She muttered as she pushed herself to her feet and moved to the next room, a subtropical greenhouse they had cranked even higher especially for her. She started sweating the moment she opened the door. "This is torture." She muttered as she sank to sit. Not moving didn't help. It was ungodly hot. Seven fires of hell hot. Without waiting for instruction she began to call up her soul once more and allow it to drape over her. Not that it made any difference. Now she just needed to apply the actual teachings. She knew before Minerva said it what was coming though.

Think cold thoughts.

Her eyes were closed or she would have rolled them. Right away that nice freezer popped into her mind though. She thought almost longingly of the ice crystals that were formed on the wall there, or the brutal cold of her Kaishin techniques. Yuki no Kuni even sounded nice, and that place was nothing but a desolate wasteland of snow and ice. Soon the sweat stopped coming. It wasn't as easy as staying warm though. She had to think of more 'cold thoughts'. She had to concentrate that much harder. Cold was her natural state so it was much more difficult to overcome the heat, or that was the logic she told herself.

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 Marksman 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 a Marksman.

That was Marcus, always coaxing her to be better. She nodded and forced her muscles to loosen. How was she supposed to defend against him though? He was silent, invisible, and pretty much amazing with weapons. She couldn't think about that now though. She could only think about her surroundings. The sound of the wind... that strange pressure coming from behind her. With a press of her legs she tried to dodge to the right only to smack into the flat of his blade. Ouch. Okay not quite right. She shook her head to clear the failure from her mind and set herself up once more.

It wasn't about the sounds or the smells, it was about the feeling, the pressure of his presence against hers. She felt it pressing against her left side now, that inkling that something was there. She skipped forwards, feeling his blade slicing down behind her as she moved. Alright, that was better. It was just once though, once was not a success, once was just a start. She let her focus spread, figuring out where his next attack would be. The right this time? He would switch it up to keep her on her toes. She dodged to the left only to run into him... literally.

Don't try to out think me. Feel for me.

That was all the caution he would give her while he allowed her to settle into a position once more. Alright where was the pressure, where was that sense of his body pressing to hers? It was in front of her this time, and to the right. She backed off on the diagonal and felt his sense of presence fall away. He was readying himself again, she knew it. And there it was at her back. She skipped to the right, trying to be equally unpredictable in her dodges so he didn't simply follow her straight into the next move. It seemed liked it was working too.

And there he was behind her again. As soon as she moved she felt him to her right. He was everywhere at once. She skipped to and fro, her feet barely settling before he came upon her once again. She had to keep moving, one step ahead. Once she nearly collided with his blade before catching her mistake at the last minute. It was a quick dance of steps to take her away from the unforgiving metal. He still did not relent however. Her breath began to hitch in her chest, sweat began to rise on her brow and yet he would not stop. Long minutes she danced away from his blade before he finally called a stop.

The snark is strong with this one.

Sledding
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A simple technique allowing the user to sled down all types of terrain without problems.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Sledding is a popular pastime in areas with deep winter snows, and also in some lands with high, sandy dunes. Normally, such pursuits involve the use of a specially made sled; but more than one adventurer has hurled themselves down a slope while riding on the back of a sufficiently large shield, either for the sheer pleasure of it or because the alternative seemed far worse. Any shield large enough to be used to give total cover to a character can also be used as a sled, provided it does not have spikes. Shield spikes dig into the ground and prevent movement. The ground must also be sufficiently sloped and smooth. Usually, this means that there must be a good layer of snow or sand, but short, damp grass may also be sufficient.
Limit: Must be an Armiger.

[/i]

"Shut up Marcus." She murmured as she stalked down the hill to retrieve the shield and try again. Okay maybe standing wasn't the best idea. At least not until she could handle the thing. How long had it been since she had gone sledding anyways? Twenty years or so? She set the shield down and climbed on carefully, keeping herself still with one hand until she was ready. Once she was seated as well as she could be with a bruised ass she pushed off... gently. She wasn't going to make that mistake again. The shield started off slowly. She used her body weight to guide it one way or the other. Okay it was coming back to her now.

Then it started to pick up speed as the hill got steeper. "Shit!" She shouted as she tried to regain control of the wayward shield. Small stones littered the hill. It didn't seem like much but it would be enough to send her ass over tea kettle if she hit one. She threw her body weight left or right to avoid them and then one came from nowhere. She threw her legs over each side of the shield, trying to use her heels to dig into the ground and slow her speed. The speed and friction simply tossed them back into the air and when she hit the stone she too went flying.

Flying lessons another day Mayu, let's focus on shields for now.

"I hate you." She groaned as she unfurled her body from the twisted wreck she had become. She grabbed her shield and trudged up the hill once more. If nothing else she was determined. Once she reached the crest of the hill she set the shield back down, glared at her ghostly companion, and settled herself onto the sled. She got herself going with a push and let the fun of it distract her from the body racking pain of her previous crashes. She had more of a feel for it now. Her hands grasped the edges of the shield to keep her centered as she barreled down the hill.

When it came to the stones she was able to rock left and right to steer the sled around them. It was a tricky little movement. Placing your weight to one side for too long would make her go sideways which would result in a crash every time. Not far enough and she would hit what she was trying to avoid. She was starting to really get the hang of it though. While it wasn't effortless she was able to avoid any terrible crashes until the shield slowed to a halt. She clambered off of the shield with a grin. That had been a fully successful run.

See? You didn't even die.

"This time." She quipped as she started back up the hill once more.[/ul][/font]
