Upon letting his Katana rest against the cold breezing air while the sun was going down, Nonki knew he had mastered it, he wouldn’t even need Yamjin to tell him, the speed of those two are nearly perfect he would tell himself. So he would slowly glide his Katana down again as he would slide the beginning of the Katana blade into the sheathed area, and then sliding the rest of it down as well, while he slid it down you could hear the steel of the Katana make a small noise that the steel was just sliding against the sheathed area just softly. Once it would continue to slide, the clamping noise would come which Nonki always liked to hear, he didn’t know why but he did. Upon that as well, is steady concentration would come to a hault as he would open his eyes, when he did that he could feel the pain he wasn’t before, the pain from his arms being tossed and turned around because of all this training. Someone that was use to training so much could bare it but he hadn’t been training much at all up to this point, so it was rather becoming quite painful for him, however he would rest his arms at his sides as he would look up at Yamjin.

When he did, Yamjin would be clapping softly, obviously because he mastered it and it was time to move on. However with Nonki’s arms hurting like hell now, it was going to be tough for him to continue, but he would do just that until he would faint, this was becoming more of a hassle then he had intended however but what has to be done, has to be done. As he would look at Yamjin, Yamjin would start to rise to his feet, ending his clapping motion. Then he would reach behind his back with his right hand, he had no idea what he was reaching for so Nonki would just watch him. His arms still resting, upon Yamjin reaching behind his back he would then bring his right hand back into Nonki’s view. However bringing Yamjin’s arms back into Nonki’s view, he would be chucking a Kunai up at the young Samurai, an underhand chuck, one that was quite fast. Nonki would quickly try to reach by bringing his right hand back to his Katana handle to evade it but before he could, he would move his upper body a little to the right.

Doing this would guarantee the dodge from the Kunai; however, it was because Yamjin had made the throwing or rather the aim of the Kunai not lethal at all, so it had no real lethal value to it. When he dodged it he would look over at Yamjin, turning his head to the right since that is where Yamjin would be standing, when looking he would speak to him.

“The hell was that all about?”

[/i][/b][/center]

Yamjin would just smile softly, Nonki had quite the mouth however he does try to maintain it when he is talking to a senpai or sensai since they are kind enough to teach him the fighting style that he so desires. Even so however, having your senpai chuck a Kunai at you does deserve some question no matter what. Yamjin didn’t get angry at Nonki for asking him what the hell it was about, he expected it, and anyone would ask that question. So he would answer it without much of a hassle or getting made at Nonki, why should he?

“Your next technique you must master is a parry technique, using your Katana you’ll dodge a lower grade attack and then follow up with a quick but swift attack of your own. I threw the Kunai to get an understand of exactly how fast your reaction time is, and seeing that it took you rather a long time to even pull out your Katana and still not being able to do so, this technique will take quite some time as well. Let’s just hope you don’t go unconscious before mastering this thing.”

Nonki would listen as he would have his hand placed on his Katana cold handle. He would loosen his grip on it however after being told why Yamjin threw that Kunai at him. He guessed the training for this technique could become lethal, however he figured that’s what the higher ranked techniques do, train you in a lethal stand point so it’ll be harder to master. What a killer hassle he thought to himself but again, what must be done, must be done. So he wasn’t going to complain about it anymore and he would master it instead and get it over with, the quicker it gets mastered the better he would tell himself. As Yamjin would stop moving however, he would stand a good 6 or so meter away from Nonki. He would keep his distance to throw the Kunai, expecting Nonki to unsheathe his Katana, block the Kunai with his Katana and then attack again.

Nonki hearing this would slide what part of his Katana he did get out from the last unexpected attack from Yamjin, back into his sheathed area. He would then stand there as he kept his right hand on the handle of his Katana as you could hear the clamp again from the blade handle pressing against the top of the sheathed area. As he would rest his hand against the handle of his Katana he would wait to see Yamjin reach down in a pouch to throw another Katana, while he waited he would rub the black cloth from the Katana handle waiting for him to throw and attack. Dodging the Kunai and then attack the random air would be tough, it would need good speed and with Nonki’s arms already hurting like hell it would be tough to pull of, but he would do it, he had already seen how Yamjin throw’s his Kunai as well so he felt he had an advantage on that part, now he would just wait, looking straight at Yamjin’s arms, not focusing on just one arm, but both, just to make sure Yamjin didn’t try and sneaky shit while he was looking at one hand and use the other to throw him off.

Of course Yamjin wasn’t even thinking such thing like that, but before to long he would start to bring his right hand back behind his back to throw another Kunai up at Nonki. When Nonki saw his right hand move back, he would twist his hand around the handle of his Katana, as he could feel the cloth rubbing up against the palm of his hand, he was ready for his attempt at piercing a Kunai threw Nonki, he was ready for it, bring it he would tell himself, I can deflect it and attack the mid air, I’m ready. He would keep saying this to not psyche himself out, he couldn’t tell himself he couldn’t do it, because if he didn’t he ultimately, wouldn’t be able to pull it off. Before to long however, Yamjin would have the Kunai in two fingers, bringing it in view of Nonki, the senpai would be looking at the young Samurai, however, the young Samurai wouldn’t be looking at his senpai, he would be looking at the Kunai in his hand waiting for his senpai to throw it out at him, he wouldn’t blame his senpai if he killed him either, this was training and these things are necessary to get stronger.

With no more hesitation however, Yamjin would fling with a simple flick of the wrist, the Kunai out at Nonki. There it was and Nonki would relax and stay calm as he would use his arm to have the Katana guide his hand, so the Katana could make a swift and clean exit out of unsheathing itself. It didn’t take long for Nonki to hear and feel that slight fling when the edge of his Katana would touch the edge of the sheathed area, and before to long the blade would be out, but was it in time? Nonki would be bring the blade in slashing motion of to the right, just like the last technique he mastered this time however, it wouldn’t be to fully attack, it would be to defend himself from the Kunai that was headed at him with full speed. As he was slashing, the Kunai would make it threw however before his blade slashed it back and he could continue his attack. When Nonki would notice this, his only exit without getting pierced by the Kunai would be to use a Shunshin, and that’s exactly what he did, using a Shunshin to move a little more to the right so his body couldn’t be pierced by the Kunai. As he did the Kunai would continue past him while he stood too it’s right.

When Yamjin saw the Kunai pass his blade seeing that it was to late for his Katana to pierce against the Kunai and throw it back, Yamjin would start to rush towards his student to use a Shunshin of his own to save him from getting pierced by this Kunai, however before he could do this, Nonki had already done it. He had felt right then that he had grown a soft liking to the kid because he actually tried to rush towards his aid. Upon seeing Nonki to the right a bit, he would smirk softly as he would say in his mind to the kid, well done, well done. Nonki would be breathing heavier however as his Shunshin required pushing his body speed past it’s limit for a short amount of time, so he would start to sweat a little more, and more. This would put less time on him of mastering this technique before he would faint from sheer exhaustion. He didn’t like the thought of fainting before he mastered a technique so he wouldn’t allow it, and another Shunshin, even if his limit is 3, could bring him to his knees because he is running out of chakra.[/ul]

Yamjin would turn around with a soft smile on his face after he noticed Nonki had dodged it, it was time to continue Yamjin would say to himself as he did turn around. He was turning around however to get a little distance again from Nonki and himself, he didn’t want to be to close as the speed of the Kunai would be to fast, he didn’t want to be to far either as that would be giving the kid a breather, or cutting the kid some slack so to speak. So he would only take a few steps back as he would walk, not to long he would start to turn around again. Nonki however is breathing a bit heavily because of that Shunshin and since he is a lower class Samurai for now, he doesn’t have much in the way of chakra reserve so he is draining more and more by doing these higher level techniques. He will eventually gain the stamina needed upon becoming a stronger Samurai but for now that isn’t the case, he would patiently wait for Yamjin however as Yamjin did turn around. He would notice that Nonki was getting more and more tired by the second and if he delayed it much longer, this technique would have to wait and he knew Nonki didn’t want that, so this next try, will be the mastery.

As Yamjin turned around he would bring his right hand back to his pouch again, planning to get his last Kunai. Yamjin knew as well that Nonki was planning to master this technique on this attempt because if he didn’t he would end up collapsing to the floor and having to wait till tomorrow to do it, either way he will collapse but he will collapse by mastering the technique first. Nonki would be standing there with one eye closed, breathing heavily as he would look at his senpai’s right hand as he brought it to his back to reach for his pouch, upon seeing this he would bring his right hand to his Katana handle, rubbing against the cloth of his Katana with the palm of his right hand. He would have his left hand resting, not forming the full formation like he should be he figured that doing this would relax him just a little more then usual, so he didn’t mind having his left hand off to his side. As he would stand there he would wait to confirm the location of which hand Yamjin would be carrying the Kunai. As he waited, Yamjin would slowly bring his hand out having Nonki seeing full view of his hand with his Kunai, he was ready he would tell himself.

Not a moment to soon however, Yamjin would be ready as well, chucking the Kunai out at Nonki, he would chuck it the same way as last time, with a flick of the wrist and it would go out at Nonki. Nonki would quickly bring out his Katana, he didn’t do it like last time, letting the Katana guide itself out of the sheathed area and the sound would tell you that, the blade would slide against the sheathed area, making the sound of a soft scratch as it would come out, the speed however was faster to catch the Kunai, it was just if Nonki’s confirmed area of where it would be was correct, at this point, if it wasn’t then it would pierce him, if it was in fact the right area however, then he would block it and continue with the follow up. After a few second of Nonki slashing his blade up in a diagonal way, the Katana would hit the Kunai, blocking it as it would sort of fly down in a matter of speaking towards the dirt path ground, you could see where it would land as the dust would show around that area, and you could hear the loud cling that the Kunai would make with the Katana, now it was for the follow up Nonki would say to himself.

The Katana was shaking just a bit from the Kunai hitting it and his grip was strong with the Katana at this point, but he was weak because of the harsh training so it would be tough for Nonki to keep the Katana stead for the follow up, but he would do just that as he brought the Katana up more, letting it travel with the right speed, up to the diagonal area it needed to. Upon doing that, and not taking he would now get ready to slash the Katana down against the air, the imagination of having an enemy in front of him wasn’t there, he didn’t exactly have the greatest imagination so his target was just the air itself which really was all that he needed to master the technique, of course sheathing the blade as well after the attack but that was the easiest part of the technique. When he had the Katana all the way up he would now quickly slash it back down against the random air itself while Yamjin was watching, he would give out a soft smirk telling himself that the kid had mastered this one as well, and before he would faint also, not half bad at all he would say to himself, not half bad. As Nonki would be slashing the blade down however, he would then feel that it was a long enough slash to now sheathe the blade itself, and he did just that with a smooth and quick motion.

After Nonki had done the sheathing of his blade and mastered the technique which both he and Yamjin have acknowledged, Nonki would slowly start to go down with his upper body falling first and his lower body slowly following suit, the exhaustion had caught up with him and he would be done. Not because he choose to per say, his body did but he wanted to continue, but his body just wouldn’t let him. Yamjin would notice this and give out a soft smirk, he would want this, the kid would get better and better with stamina the more and more he pushed himself beyond his limit so this in a way was good for him, of course the landing wasn’t exactly good and before to long Nonki would almost hit the ground but in a very slight wording he would just say a couple words, these words are hardly heard but none the less they can be heard, he would say.

“Going, do-down.”

Nonki’s body would then hit the dirt road ground as dust would fly up around him after having that happen, Yamjin would slowly walk to drag the boy into his dojo, it was getting late and by the time Nonki would awake it would be mid night or early day in which of course, seeing how the boy reacts he would want to continue his training which was fine with Yamjin.

-Early Next Day-

Nonki had already awaken and was standing in the center of the dojo, looking up at it, the inside was rather small but the style he was learning was something that seemed like you would stand still and let the opponent rush you so the size of the dojo didn’t really matter as long as it was large enough for one to grab his Katana out of it’s sheathed area and slash and so on and so forth. So as he stood there Yamjin would become in view, he was behind Nonki and Nonki wouldn’t notice him just yet; After a bit of Nonki looking around the dojo looking up at it as if one was looking up at the stars in the night sky, before to long however Yamjin who was standing behind him would start to run towards him. Nonki would hear the footsteps against the wood dojo floor, the soft creeks that it would give and the slight thump of each step, Nonki would turn his head over his shoulder to look what or who it was, it was Yamjin but why the hell was he running. Before to long Nonki would find out why, he was running to attack him and Nonki wasn’t even prepared, besides that Yamjin was in a whole other league then the young Samurai but that couldn’t be an excuse as to why you don’t defend yourself.

As Nonki would shift his body quickly in a 180 degree angle he would grip the cloth of his black Katana, doing so he would try to unsheathe it but before he could Yamjin would be jumping up in the air with his right foot in front of his left for a jumping but thrusting kick, Nonki wouldn’t be able to grab his Katana out in time so he would take the kick full force. When he did he would fly back 5 or 6 meters slamming into the wooden wall of the dojo, the wall was quite thick and sturdy so it would just make a slight dent but it hurt like hell. It wouldn’t knock the young Samurai out but that didn’t mean it was a comfy feeling either. While he would land on his ass and sitting there with his back in pain he would make out a slight huff like that hurt, before to long he would bring his eyes up to Yamjin as he sat there, of course he would reply with something of anger as Yamjin was on both feet standing in front of Nonki with a smirk or smile of sorts on his face knowing that Nonki wouldn’t reply with a nice thank you.

“Wha-What the hell was that for you kamikaze old shit bag!?”

[/b]
Yamjin would have a soft smirk still on his face as he stood there, he would reply to the young Samurai and wouldn’t get mad at the name he was called. Of course the reason for doing this was to start the young Samurai’s next technique of training and he should have realized that from his last training session since Yamjin attacked him last time without warning to help progress the training but he figured Nonki wasn’t the smartest cookie in the cookie jar.

“It’s your next technique that you will learn, your stance positioning with have one knee slightly down to the ground as you keep the other leg bent, but the foot still propped against the floor. This will cause a dodging motion, which is only slight, the dodge can only be for a weak hand to hand base move once you dodge you unsheathe your Katana and strike with a thrust up hand strike with your Katana and if done correctly with your Katana, blood will be dripping and it won’t be yours.”

Hearing this Nonki would get up with his back still hurting from that attack that Yamjin had done to him, as he was getting up he was thinking to himself. You didn’t have to kick my half way across the dojo to tell me the damn technique you stupid old geezer, what kind of idiot are you? He would of course ask this to himself and not to Yamjin but the facial expression he showed could be an obvious guess that he was starting to hate Yamjin’s methods of training but he would never tell Yamjin this directly, he was being kind enough to teach him the style of fighting to begin with. While Nonki was finally to his feet fully he figured it was time to continue training, he had no clue what time it was but he figured since he could hear birds chirp and the light was coming into the actual dojo, that it was morning so he had been out for the rest of the day from the last technique he has mastered. When he got up, he would keep his distance from Yamjin for the sake of mastering this technique and if he was going to charge him again then he would need time to react.

When he stood there, Yamjin would still have that stupid smirk on his face. Nonki would stand there, keeping his right hand against the cloth of his Katana handle now, rubbing the cloth with his palm just gently. While standing there rubbing the cloth he would stare at Yamjin he would wait for the old man to attack again, bend down, draw his Katana and then that would be the end of this technique. Of course Yamjin never told him that he would need to sheathe it again but Nonki kind of guessed that he would need to do that also, every technique that he has learned with this style required you to sheathe your blade after doing the technique so this didn’t seem to be any different and it wasn’t. While they continued to stare into each others eyes, Yamjin would go, he would use a Shunshin as well, he wanted to give Nonki some trouble with this technique since if he was fighting someone they wouldn’t go easy on him, they would use whatever they could in there arsenal of tricks to beat him out and make sure they became the victor and sometimes victory would mean death to the other opponent and he didn’t want the kid dying because Yamjin went easy on him while training.

When Nonki saw him use a Shunshin knowing exactly what it was as he also can do it he would become a little big eyed, not extremely just enough to show and slight shock expression, not only that but a shit that’s not good expression. He started to wonder how fast Yamjin was, how many times is he able to do this, if he was able to use it a lot then he would be screwed beyond repair as he wouldn’t be able to see it coming what so ever. As he would stand his ground however he would wait for the reappearance of Yamjin but before to long, there he was, right in front of him, he had flashed right there and Nonki hadn’t even drawn his sword out yet, not good, not good at all. He’s going to get kicked again he would tell himself but then he would remember the technique didn’t require one to draw his sword to deflect the attack, you had to dodge it, but did he have enough time to do so before he would get a face full of foot. It was worth a shot instead of just accepting old man feet in your face so he would quickly bend down his right knee in a attempt to duck under the flying kick but before he could fully get down on his knee it would be there, he would take another kick to the body.

Once getting kicked in the body again with that thrusting kick he would fly back again, when he was flying back he would have one eye shut with the other eye looking straight at Yamjin, he would be flying back thinking to himself, this is going to hurt. With not much time his back would ram against the sturdy wooden wall yet again, Yamjin could have stopped him from ramming against the wooden wall but he wanted the kid to feel the pain that comes with failing, if you fail in actual combat the pain will be much more then a slam from your back against the wall, it could be death. Which of course not even this old man knew what that felt like; Once Nonki landed his back roughly against the wooden wall his ass would follow as it slammed against the wooden floor dojo. When that happened he would still have one eye closed as it hurt like hell and he would start to bleed threw the mouth and you could see a little bit of blood around his lips. While sitting there he would spit a bit, which of course Yamjin didn’t like but he wouldn’t say anything yet. When Nonki spit when he turned his head to the right he would slowly turn his head over back to Yamjin as he would start to get up.[/ul]

[ohhaider]

[/center]
While Nonki was getting up, his mouth still bleeding he wouldn’t give up on this technique even if it meant Yamjin would put a hole threw his chest. Granted this hand to hand move that Yamjin was using is weak and would never do that but the put was that Nonki would get this bastard down on matter what and move on. While he was getting up the blood wouldn’t drip from his mouth but that would be because he had his mouth closed, either way however, the blood wasn’t a lot so if he did have his mouth open, maybe a couple of drips would happen but nothing major. Yamjin would start to smirk softly as he would look down at Nonki as he would get up, he would turn around and start to walk back a bit, knowing that Nonki wouldn’t give this up so he would need to get a good distance from Nonki and while he was Nonki would give out just a couple words that showed he was pissed off and was going to master this damn thing.

“You’re starting to piss me off old man.”

That would be all Nonki would say as he rose to his feet taking a couple steps forward to get a good distance from the dented wood again, this time destined to master it. Yamjin would just get a soft smirk and a soft noise to go with it telling Nonki to deal with it. When that happened Yamjin would turn around again and Nonki would be at the point where he would need to stand to begin with. When Yamjin turned around Nonki would get in the basic stance as he again would rest the palm of his right hand against his Katana handle, rubbing the palm of that hand against the black cloth, tightening his hand against it a bit as he could feel the cold steel against his palm that seeped threw the cloth. While he stood there and Yamjin stood a good distance from him they would stare at each other for a good minute or so, Nonki was going to master this damn thing this time and there wasn’t shit Yamjin could do about it, he really didn’t care how far along Yamjin was to him or any damn thing.

Then without any warning Yamjin would start again, he would start to run towards Nonki trying to make Nonki think that he wasn’t going to use a Shunshin this time or anything and Nonki started to think Yamjin was going to go easy on him, not something he liked as he wanted to beat this old bastard when he gave it his all but whatever, he’ll get him back either way he would tell himself. As he was coming closer and closer however he would then use a Shunshin and Nonki would smirk softly as he did it, trying to keep his eyes calm and collective as they would search for this old shit, not to long at all he would find out he was coming behind him and he would duck at the proper time with his left knee touching the surface of the dojo and his right leg bent with his foot still pressed against the dojo floor firmly. He would then unsheathe his Katana while Yamjins legs would be zooming by Nonki from above with the spinning mid air kick. Nonki’s back would be to Yamjin as he unsheathed his Katana. When he did unsheathe his Katana he shifted his upper body with the Katana as he slashed it in a 180 degree towards Yamjin. Yamjin would see this and start to get a little big eyed noticing the kid wasn’t going to stop so he would have to use another Shunshin to just dodge it and even that would be cutting it close.

When Nonki’s blade was coming closer and closer to Yamjin’s leg, he would use another Shunshin to dodge it and appear in front of Nonki but again 4 meters away. He would be still in mid air since he had to be cutting the Shunshin close and if you looked closely his left leg cloth would be cut, only the cloth and not the leg itself. Nonki would notice where he was going to turn out as well which gave him quite the advantage as well. He wasn’t going to continue the assault though, he had mastered the technique in his eyes, he just had hoped it was the same in Yamjin’s eyes as well as he stood there. Nonki would have his head tilted to the right a bit to look over at Yamjin as he would shift his upper body back in its place to sheathe his blade and stand up slowly. He hadn’t yet but that was what he is going to do as the blade thrust was done and the Katana was up in the air pointed diagonally. Quickly he would slide the blade back down to his side in quick fashion and shift his upper body back towards Yamjin as he sheathed his blade before slowly coming to his feet.[/ul]

00 / 30 [1st Post]

Nonki after sheathing his blade and having mastered that new technique, Yamjin would be standing as stated 4 or so meters from Nonki with the left leg of his cloth cut just a tad bit, signifying that Nonki had mastered the technique. Nonki when changing his position and standing back up again, since the last technique required him to kneel to dodge the pervious attack that Yamjin did, Nonki would look at Yamjins left leg, the lower knee area and he would see the cut. Yamjin knew he had been cut around there, he hadn’t said anything just yet but he was standing there still as a stone wall, not moving but just starring at Nonki. Nonki wouldn’t notice it as he would be standing looking down at that lower knee area, after a couple of minutes looking up at that lower knee area, Nonki would travel his eyes back up to Yamjin’s face, once he traveled his eyes up to Yamjin’s face however he could see that Yamjin was starting to turn red faced, why? What the hell was the old shit’s problem Nonki would ask him; after a couple of seconds of the two starring at each other Yamjin would speak. He would speak like his body was straining, his muscles are tight… like he was taking a shit.

“Yo-You cut my pants!”

Nonki would just smirk softly, almost chuckling to an extent as he heard Yamjin say those words. He was going to reply with a smart ass comment so to speak but that was because it was Nonki, to an extent, he sometimes doesn’t mean it but it still gives out a funny impression to anyone that isn’t the person he’s speaking to. As for that person that he is speaking to, most of the time they want to slap the shit out of him.

“No, really? Man, I would have never guessed, I was so not staring at it for a couple minutes; I was just admiring your beautiful leg.”

Yamjin wouldn’t speak after that, well he wouldn’t speak about the pants for now, he would just take it out on the young Samurai threw training. Granted Yamjin wasn’t going easy on him but all these smart ass remarks and what not started to piss of Yamjin a bit, but that was just Nonki. Most of the time he didn’t mean to piss you off but it’s not like he would stop if he knew it was pissing you off also. Nonki looking ay Yamjin would be waiting to hear his next technique however, it was still a drag but it must be done it order for Nonki to gain strength and gain a victory over his father. After a while of the two men staring at each other still Yamjin would speak again, this time intending to tell Nonki about his next technique, also intending to pay back the young Samurai for cutting his pants.

“Next technique, you unsheathe your Katana and while you are unsheathing it you give it a diagonal slash, much like these past techniques. However after the slashing you also give it a thrusting stab to another opponent, meaning that this technique is best done when you are fighting multiple people, but it can be done twice to the same opponent and sometimes you may us the slash to deflect an attack that is sword based and use the thrust to then attack him back. You’ll master the technique by using the air to get down the speed and the unsheathing, once that is done I will attack you with my Katana and we’ll see if you mastered it or not, of course nothing lethal as well.”

Nonki would hear this and knew the man was to chicken shit to actually come charge him again to master a technique, well that was what he was thinking and when he thought this Nonki would give out the slight smirk as he got into the basic stance to attempt to master this next technique. When he got in the stance, still looking at Yamjin as Yamjin would stand there watching him, Nonki would bend his knees down just a bit, place his right hand and palm against the cloth of the Katana, rubbing the black cloth just a bit, softly as he could feel the cloth. It was warm and comfortable to touch as it should be, if he sunk his hand to deep into the cloth however he would feel the cold steel handle that went with the Katana. When Nonki placed his hands on the hands however, you could hear the ever so soft clicking noise that he loved to hear, Nonki loved that sound, it was the sound of his Katana wanting out, like it was calling to the young Samurai saying that it wanted out, it wanted to cut someone. It was rather an odd thing that Nonki liked but what could he say, it sounded so cool. With that sound however, another soft and almost silent sound would fall, it was the sound that Nonki had made when he was starting to unsheathe his Katana to give his first attempt at this technique, it was the sound of the Katana brushing up against the sheathed black area that he had his Katana in.[/ul]

[ohhaider]

[/center]
The Katana slashing against the sheathed black area is what you would hear at the start, not a moment later Nonki would unsheathe his Katana fully slashing it in a right diagonal area from up to down, the speed was slow, to slow, not good enough to impress Yamjin who was still standing about 4 or so meters from Nonki watching one, watching to see if this young Samurai will master this technique quicker or not. When Nonki slashed his unsheathed Katana to the right from down to up in a right diagonal area, Nonki would then quickly bring his Katana back down as he would connect the end of the sheathed area, the handle of his Katana rather, he would connect it to the upper area of the young Samurai’s chest, bending his arms to follow suit with the motion. Once Nonki could feel that cold steel touch his cloth from his clothing he would send it forward in a thrusting motion and then once he had done that, Nonki would bring his arms back to his side as he would quickly in a swift motion sheathe his Katana. Way to slow however, not fast enough is what Yamjin was thinking as he watched on, and since Nonki wasn’t hearing any word from the old bastard, he knew that he would need to try again.

When Nonki unsheathed his Katana however he would move his eyes from the area of his black cold sheathed area, still in the stance he needed to be in, and he would travel his eyes up towards Yamjin as he looked at him he would just think to himself. You hairy old looking bastard that was good damn it, he would say this to himself obviously and when Nonki gave Yamjin that look, Yamjin would give him the exact same look. He would be saying in his mind, cut your sensai’s pants, how could you, disrespectful little shit. Nonki after looking at Yamjin would travel his eyes over to his Katana sheathed area again, also his head would follow suit as he was about to give it yet another shot to get this thing down, needing to add speed to it is what his main problem was, it seemed to be that way for all the techniques that he had been trying to master recently and this one wasn’t any different. With that Nonki would be using his right hand as he again, put the palm of his hand against the handle of his Katana and when he did so, that same clamping noise would be made, damn he loved that sound he would say to himself again. He would also be rubbing the black sheathed part with his left hand, it felt so smooth.

No hesitation, no signally and Nonki had unsheathed his Katana again attempting to try and master this damn thing with his second attempt. Again you could hear the steel of the Katana brush against the cold black sheathed area for a second time, the blade would be softly running against the inside and you could hear it before the tip of his Katana would touch the beginning of the sheathed area which would signify that Nonki would need to slash it in a diagonal position from left to right and from a downward to upward area or position. When he did that he tried to push it, he tried to give his arm muscle more of a push with it, which was really never good to do with your Katana, you needed to go with the flow of things and not do such clumsy slashes with your Katana but he was trying to master the speed of this technique so he wouldn’t sit there and calm himself and think about how he has to be one with the blade so to speak, he would think that he needed to use his upper muscle again, an honest rookie mistake. Once he was doing this Yamjin would just smirk softly noticing Nonki was trying to hard so to speak and he needed to calm himself.

When Nonki would slash fully and have his Katana up in the air and to the right a bit with his right arm extended that would mean he needed to bring it back down again to do the thrusting blow as well. When he had it up in the air however he knew right off the bat that the speed wasn’t even up to par of what it needed to be, why this was, well it was simple and already stated, he pushed himself to much. Knowing this he would still attempt to finish the technique and then give it another shot afterward, he wasn’t tired either, he was starting to gain more and more stamina but if he kept this up then he would get tired so he needed to master it sooner rather then later. As he thought this Nonki would bring his right hand down quickly as he would bring his left arm and hand up to the hand area to hold the hand of the Katana with both arms. The young Samurai would then bend his left and right arm as he waited to feel that cold steel against his upper chest, once he felt it he would give that thrusting blow that would mean it was the end of the technique, all though when he did it, it wouldn’t be mastered.[/ul]

Nonki would lunge his Katana forward for the second time and this second time wasn’t even the master but he knew he had to be getting close he would tell himself as the Katana was now lunged forward. Nonki wasn’t even thinking fully on the actual technique since he knew this attempt wouldn’t master it, he wasn’t keeping his focus on the actual technique and it would end up biting him in the ass if he kept up that train of thought, he would need to focus fully and not lose himself with other thought about other techniques and how strong he could get with these other techniques. With that blade lunged forward however Yamjin would look at the thin cold steel that was actually pointed near him, it wasn’t intentional and Nonki didn’t do it on purpose and Yamjin knows this but it just so happened to look that way. After Nonki had the blade lunged forward however, he would bring in back with one quick and swift motion again, bringing it back to slide it back under then sheathed black cold area to try the technique for a third and hopefully final time, this had to be the ending of this technique or he would become tired if he kept at it and that would also result in him not being able to master more techniques before going unconscious and of course he didn’t want to settle for that.

With his Katana now sheathed again, and when it did sheathe you could again hear the cold steel brush up against the black sheathed area, it was rather again a beautiful sound. It was a sound like a Samurai was done, he had killed or finished his opponent and it was time to move on, it was like it wasn’t much of an issue for one to finish another off type of thing, he loved that sound, there wasn’t anything better then that sound he thought. When the blade made the final clamp into it’s sheathed area, Nonki wouldn’t change his position of what he was looking at, he was planning to just go ahead and try the technique for a 3rd time, not looking at Yamjin or anything. Yamjin however, of course was watching on as Nonki would not look at him and stay in the stance he needed too. He would see that Nonki would still have his right hand against the Katana handle just softly as the palm of the right hand would rub against the cloth making just a slight noise, and his left hand would be rubbing against the black sheathed area. The young Samurai was determined just for a couple seconds, then after those couple of second Yamjin looked at him as if he was nothing more then a pile of dog shit.

Either way, Nonki would stay focused as he would not give any sign and would pull out his Katana for a 3rd time, this 3rd time he would let the Katana guide him. Nonki realized that he had pushed the Katana the 2nd time and he knew that was why it was slower, when one pushed to hard he would lose focus, concentration and become a wild man with a sword which meant nothing to a real Samurai. It meant the person was just a monkey that played games with a sword because he thought it looked cool; Nonki however would let the Katana guide him in hopes of this being the final time for this technique. As it would guide Nonki, you could hear the blade coming out of the sheathed area, it was a clear noise, it didn’t sound as if the edge of the Katana was scratching against the blade or anything, it was soft, silent and was smoothing to hear. Nonki liked both sounds however but the more soothing sound was of course this one, it was the sound of a true Samurai, and Samurai that thought of his Katana like it was his second heart and some would go so far as to say it was there first heart, it is there heart and if the Katana was to break then so would they.

The Katana would softly slide out of the sheathed area fully and the speed was perfect and Yamjin would see this, when he did he would give out a soft smile, another one in the bag is what he would tell himself as he watched the young Samurai’s elegant slash against from the left to right in and downward to upward position after unsheathing the blade. It was rather a quick slash that most couldn’t keep up with unless they are that of a Samurai or a Katana wielder themselves. When the blade had reached the peak of it’s slash, Nonki wouldn’t waste any time in bringing it down to his chest area as he would clamp his left hand up against the handle of the Katana as well in one fell motion, when he did this he just brought his left hand up quickly and clamped it to the right. He would then bring both of his arms back a bit as he bent the left and right elbow just softly, when he did that Nonki would continue to wait for that quick and smooth chill down his spine, that chill always meant that the edge of the Katana handle had touched his skin just a bit. When he felt that soft chill, Nonki would thrust his blade forward with a perfect position and speed. With the final movement Nonki would then quickly sheathe the blade as he thought right there was the mastery of the technique.[/ul]

Yamjin would continue to have a smile on his face, just a soft one that wasn’t an extremely noticeable smile but you could tell he was smiling. Nonki after sheathing his Katana from the last technique he just mastered would not look up or anything, not look at his senpai, he would just look down at the wooded floor from the dojo as he kept his right hand against the handle of his Katana, having the black cloth against the palm of his right hand. Nonki would be rubbing the sheathed area with his left hand; it felt so smooth, so cold, like killing in cold blood, if that had a feeling to it. When he was doing this he was also waiting for Yamjin to tell him his next technique, he didn’t have to move his head up to look at him did he? Seriously, if he did that was such a bother he thought, damn hassle is what it was. While Nonki would still look at that wooden floor, Yamjin would some what give out a cough like sound, as if he was waiting for Nonki to say or do something and Nonki would realize it and that’s when Nonki knew that he would have to bring his head up to look at Yamjin. Jeez, really, does he really want me to look at him so he can tell me this next technique, damn bother. With that however, Nonki would slowly bring up his head to look at Yamjin.

“Really?! You really are waiting for me to move my head up to look at you to tell me the next technique?! Such a bother.”

Yamjin looking at him while Nonki was speaking wouldn’t have expected him to say this but then again Nonki was quite the jokester, granted he didn’t really try to be, it was just natural and on accident but it still was quite funny. It’s kind of why Yamjin and Nonki could get along because on the same side of the same coin, Yamjin is the exact same way and does the exact same stuff so as you could imagine, Yamjin would start to get red faced again. Not because he was embarrassed because he was starting to get pissed that Nonki would say these things. Yamjin was taking his time out of his busy day to teach Nonki these techniques and this is how the young Samurai would say thanks? He wasn’t going to have it.

“Hey you little fart, I’m going to teach you and this is how you are going to thank me!? See how far we go if you keep that lip up mister. As for your next technique, it’s a thrusting attack, three of them to be exact. You’ll unsheathe your Katana and thrust at a front opponent, then a left and of course then the right. It must be fast, swift and smooth. Being late on this attack will result in a painful counter attack.”

Seemed simple enough Nonki would tell himself, when Yamjin was tell Nonki the technique and saying front, left, and right. He would do so while showing it with his hands, showing Nonki exactly where to strike when he called out each positional area. It seemed like an attack that would only be used when Nonki or any other user of the Katana would use when there is more then one or so opponents. With that it was time to master it however, Nonki wouldn’t reply to Yamjin about his fussing however that was hypocritical for Nonki to go and say that, since he whines about most things often as well. Either way however, Nonki hadn’t move his hands from earlier so they are still, one hand against the handle of his Katana, rubbing against the black cloth of the Katana handle while it is sheathed and the other hand, his left hand. Is rubbing against the black cold sheathed area just gently, like rubbing against some cold steel bar that you would run your hand across.

Without any significant sign that Nonki was ready for this technique however, he would unsheathe his Katana again you could hear the steel run across the sheathed part of the Katana and every time one could hear this it meant two things, one Nonki was forcing the Katana out more then it should and two, it would mean that he was ready to fight. As Yamjin would watch on he would start to think this would take some time for Nonki to master, Nonki wasn’t exactly strong in thrusting the blade fast since he always seemed to bring the Katana back fully and then have the cold steel of the handle touch his upper chest and once that happened he would thrust it forward. Yamjin knew that wasn’t the way he should keep doing it but hasn’t said anything yet, he would when the time came but as for right now he would just let Nonki find out for himself how hard this technique will be to master if he keeps up the attack, the way he has for the last 2 or so days.[/ul]

[ohhaider]

[/center]
Nonki unsheathing the Katana however would quickly position himself the way he needed to, as already stated Nonki was slower with his thrust then usual or well, that’s Yamjin’s view on it however it was true and he needed to make them faster, hopefully this technique would do that for him. Upon getting in the position for the thrust however, the stance is the same as it should be, Nonki would bring his left hand that was rubbing the black sheathed area of the Katana and place it against the right hand which is holding the Katana’s handle. When placing both hands against the Katana hand Nonki would then focus on bending his elbows back a bit so the Katana handle will softly touch against Nonki’s chest, the upper area of his chest. When he would do this the Katana itself would be pointed in the opposite direction obviously. Once Nonki would feel the cold steel of the handle touch against the cloth that he wears to cover his chest area, then he would thrust the Katana forward in one single motion. This took way to much time for Nonki to actually use this technique the right way, he would need to thrust in and out with less of a back pull and more of a forward pull and still have the same effect. That’s what Yamjin would tell himself while watching Nonki do this.

Once Nonki felt that cold steel chills down the spine of his back he would then thrust forward, the thrust was fine as it needed to be the speed of it was precise and strong and gave out a noticeable and obvious improvement that Nonki was getting better with the Katana. That was obvious however as already stated his pull back way to slow and would end up killing him if he kept it up at that slow speed, he would need to again, have the pull back less but the power of the thrust the same strength. Either way however Nonki would again, pull the Katana back to give it his second attempt but this time in the left direction as the last on was in the forward direction for the forward enemy. When he would pull it back to give the second thrust, Nonki would still have the positioning he needed to or rather he used, both hands with the left holding the right. It was a strong grip, a grip that someone would use if they wanted power but not speed and that wasn’t what Nonki should be concerning himself with, the Katana was strong it self, he would just need the speed part and Yamjin would notice this but again wouldn’t say anything to the young Samurai.

Having Nonki pulled back for the second thrust already it was nearly there, when he say this Yamjin would shake his head softly. Three opponents and only taking one down, he would be dead right now with this speed he would tell himself and Nonki would soon realize that as well when he saw Yamjin’s face. He tried to stay focused with the technique but he couldn’t when he saw Yamjin shake his head just a bit, he could tell that something wasn’t right and for just a brief second, Nonki would know why. When he knew why he didn’t wait to feel the cold chill that the edge of his Katana handle would present that would tell him it was ready to give out a thrust, well a thrust that he was use to already. He would give out the thrust right off the bat this time, well close to right off the bat. When he thrust to the left with his Katana it was weaker, a lot weaker and both Yamjin and Nonki would notice this. Again, Yamjin would tell him to redo it if he must, but Nonki knew he was going to have to attempt the technique again so Yamjin wouldn’t have to tell him. After Nonki gave out that thrusting left attack however he would bring it back again to do a thrust to the right this time. When he would bring it back, it was just like the first two times just a bit faster his stance was still the same however, with both his hands touching the handle of the blade.

When bring Nonki’s Katana back for the third time, Nonki would change his focus and the area he was looking at. He would look towards the right and then when Yamjin saw this, there was another screw up, he was already showing the opponent where he was going to attack. If it was a battle experienced fighter, then he would dodge Nonki’s attack with ease and counter attack Nonki with so much simplicity that it wouldn’t take much time at all for Nonki to be killed. However, again Yamjin wouldn’t say anything and he would just watch the young Samurai try to pull the technique off for the first time. The first time was just practice it would seem for Nonki, even though, in secret Nonki would try to master these techniques the first chance he got, so he was trying to master it this time but he wasn’t going to. When Nonki pulled the Katana back a decent distance however, not pulling it back all the way like he was use to, since he knew he would have to change the distance of the pull back already. When pulling it back however, Nonki would change the position of his hands as he would then thrust out to the right, the thrust was strong, stronger then the 2nd one was and that was good, but he still needed to get the speed down is what Yamjin would say to himself.[/ul]

[/center]
After Nonki’s final thrust he would quickly sheathe his blade, he needed to if he was going to master the technique since it required one to sheathe there blade and then unsheathe for the attack. He couldn’t just keep it out and then do the attack as that would pick the speed up and he wouldn’t know if he needed to increase the sheathing speed or not. When he sheathed it you could again, hear the cold steel from the Katana brush up against the cold steel from the sheathed blade. It was black of course as the Katana would slide into the sheathed area and then it would make one final clamp upon the Katana touching down against the sheathed area form the beginning, the clamp was the greatest sound as even a master of the Katana could still hear it after he was done with using the Katana. Most of the time it meant that he had beaten his opponent which was always a good sign, it was as if the Katana was saying nice job to its owner, of course it shouldn’t be saying that now, as Nonki needed to master this technique. As the day progressed he was also getting tired from working on techniques for most of the day, it wouldn’t show just yet but he figured his next technique it would start to show that he was getting exhausted.

Once Nonki had sheathed the blade Yamjin would continue to watch, he was debating weather to tell Nonki about him needed to pick up the speed of his thrust but he figured Nonki had already figured that out as he was changing the pull back transition of the technique to where he wouldn’t pull back as far, so he wouldn’t tell him, he would just continue to watch and see if this young Samurai could get the technique down on his second try. With three thrust for one technique it was rather a long technique to master which would obviously mean, the more you needed to do it, to eventually master it, the longer it would take and the more exhausted you would become. Either way however Nonki needed to master this thing on this try or else he would not be able to master many more techniques if he wasted his stamina on this thing, so with that, Nonki would keep his right hand against the handle of the Katana, with the black cloth again, rubbing against his hand just a bit as Nonki would rub and move the palm of that right hand around the Katana. This time however, his left hand would remain dormant, he needed to master the thrusting speed so to make it better, he would master this technique with just his right hand, it was a must to him now.

He would now unsheathe his Katana with just his right hand and his goal would be to master this technique here as already stated. When unsheathing his blade you could hear the steel from the Katana again, slide against the cold black metal sheathed area which of course meant Nonki was forcing it just a bit to much, that wouldn’t effect his mastery towards this technique however. Upon the ending of his unsheathing Nonki’s Katana would flick just once towards the end of the unsheathing process, just one strong ending flick before Nonki hand unsheathed the blade fully in a quick motion and for the first time, Nonki had pulled off a different movement that actually caught Yamjin’s eyes. Nonki would thrust while in the process of unsheathing, it was what most of the master from the Katana would do but the fact that Nonki did it soon was quite impressive. Nonki would look at the Katana as he trusted that first time. The thrust was strong and forward with no screw up, it was quite impressive as Nonki would look at the width and density of the Katana as he quickly pulled back and would change his thrusting direction towards the left again still only using his right arm and hand to do all of this which did but a soft strain on him but it wasn’t anything to whine about.

When Nonki would change positions, his pull back was sift, short and soft and didn’t need much progress into it so to speak, he had pulled it off without much trouble at all. With only trying the technique once, the second time seemed like a full mastery is what Yamjin would say to himself as he watched Nonki succeed for the second time as he trusted his Katana towards the left random target that was basically the air, Yamjin would just watch to see if he had the fluid of the technique down, if he had that down then he had the mastery down. Upon Nonki thrusting to the left he would again, look at the width of the blade as the cold steel from the Katana would run straight out to the left, it was a nice view so to speak. Then without wasting much time at all Nonki would quickly pull the Katana back and change his direction of targeting towards the right, this time it would be his final attempt towards all three thrusting points and he could move on is what he would think to himself as he changed his position for thrusting. During this change of point the pull back was again, swift and short and didn’t take much time at all to pull of before right then, he was ready to give out his third thrust and the strength when done, was just like the last two which should have meant another mastery.[/ul]

00 / 30 [1st Post]

Upon Nonki giving out that final thrust and mastering the technique he would quickly sheathe his Katana with just one swell swoop, he was starting to gain more and more control over his Katana to a point that it wouldn’t be to long that he wouldn’t feel ashamed one bit to have his name be a representative of the Samurai name. When Nonki would slide his Katana back into its sheathed area you could hear the blade again slide against the metal area of the sheathed part that was pure black. Then eventually it would slide to the end, as it clamped again to the end of the Katana. After that was done Nonki would change his view over to Yamjin, Yamjin would have another smirk on his mouth, of course Nonki would stand there and think it was because Nonki mastered another technique and it was time for the next one, and it was but Nonki was starting to feel the effects again of training for a long amount of time. It was still light outside as the walls in the dojo are weak and you could see the sun shine against them, it is like they themselves are curtains that are just a tad bit more stable then a normal curtain. Since it’s warm a lot of the time in the port there isn’t any need for the walls to be thick.

When Nonki had his eye sight on Yamjin he would wait for Yamjin to tell him the next technique, while he waited his heart was racing a bit, he wasn’t breathing heavily or anything but he would be while he was mastering this next technique and he wasn’t even sure how many more techniques he had to continue off from. Little did he know, after this technique it would start to get really tough for the young Samurai to a point that he would faint often while trying to master the next techniques since they are considered B rank techniques and he’s been going unconscious at C rank techniques. Just then Yamjin would speak to tell the young Samurai his next technique.

“Well, it seems like you mastered another technique, as for your next one it’s three slashes. Like the same as the last technique but instead of thrusting to the front, then left and finally the right, you’ll now slash to the front, left and right. The slashes must be quicker then the thrust but you must also follow threw with your slashes which will require you to put more strength then usual into the slash to add more speed. This technique can only be done twice before you will start to really feel the effects so don’t screw up more then twice or this technique will take a while for you to master.”

Nonki didn’t like the sound of that, he was already becoming quite tired and this technique had a restraint to it. Yamjin knew that Nonki was getting tired as well, Nonki tried to hide it threw his posture but it was easy to see. Yamjin would give him one try and then Nonki would faint or maybe one in a half who knew, either way the likely hood that Nonki would be mastering this technique another day was highly possible. All the better however, if he’s tired then even if he does master this technique he’ll faint afterwards and the technique after this one is the B rank version of the thrusting strike. Something that will take time and something that Nonki won’t master so easily. With that however Nonki thought that if he wasted anymore more time then he already has, then he will surly faint and end up not even finishing one attempt at this technique so he wouldn’t delay much longer before he would rest his right hand against his Katana handle while it was sheathed. He still had yet to show any true posture of getting tired but that was because Nonki was trying his dandiest to hide it.

Once Nonki placed his hand against his Katana you could hear a clicking noise, it wasn’t because he had unsheathed just a bit of it, it was because once he touched it, the steel of the sword had rattled just a bit, it would cease and only make the sound for a brief second. Upon that brief second Nonki would unsheathe his sword for this attempt knowing this might be his only one for the rest of the day so he would make sure it counted but with Nonki’s track record of mastering techniques on there first try, he has yet to do so to his knowledge. Once the blade had slid out of it’s unsheathing due to what Nonki had done, which was unsheathe it, of course still hearing the great sound that he likes hearing. The Katana would be fully unsheathed and Nonki would make one quick and fast diagonal slash from the left to the right, downward to then upward. When he did that he made sure the slash was quick, hard to notice from just a normal eye, it would take a true fighter to really see the motion that was done and a skilled one at that. His speed was picking up and getting closer to the B rank but it wasn’t quite there. After that first slash Nonki would keep his arm extended, as if it was a clean cut and getting ready to do the next slash.[/ul]

[ohhaider]

[/center]
Nonki keeping his so called follow threw with the slash would have his arm up in the air around the diagonal right area ready to slash again, this time it would come straight down, as if he was attacking someone that was to his right side, just slightly to his right side however, not a strong right. He wouldn’t waste much time as he still had a hope to master this technique on his first attempt however Yamjin has already found something wrong, the speed of which he slashes is good but after the slash he stands there for a couple seconds, the opponents on his left and right would have already killed him. His left more so then his right as Nonki is right handed so the right side would be his second base of attack meaning it would be front attack, then right attack and finally left attack. So the man on the left would be the one that could kill Nonki with ease. Yamjin would make him, if he was still standing after his first attempt at this technique, do it again. He didn’t want to let the young Samurai think that he had mastered a technique and really not do so and try to use it in battle which would result in the young Samurai’s death.

Nonki would slash down however to the right just a bit which would now be from the upper right hand area to the lower right hand area, the slash was quick and the speed was precise but as already stated, Yamjin would always notice that Nonki would take a break after the slash and not continue as if it was all one constant attack, which it was and he would need to fix that. Nonki would have the blade stand there for a few seconds, maybe even less then a second but it was still a time gap since you would need to attack the man on the left still and two half a second pauses would give that final man a full second to attack and since he’s already close, if he is half decent that is all he would need. Yamjin continuing to watch would know Nonki would flinch a bit, he was struggling now to keep his blade from falling and himself from falling as well, Yamjin seeing this would start to walk closer to the young Samurai. He wasn’t done with his technique so Yamjin would keep his distance but he figured after he gave this technique it’s finally blow, Nonki would fall to the floor. Yamjin would step closer so once he did fall; Nonki wouldn’t hurt himself in the fall because Yamjin was close by.

After Nonki would snap out of the near uncurious fall he would regain his footing and get ready for the final slash. Once Nonki had done that near unconscious fall he himself knew that he hadn’t mastered the technique as well, he didn’t think about the whole pausing while in each attempt from the slash so he thought that the technique was still a clean cut, was still passable to be considered mastered. Once he had done that flinch so to speak, he had known that he wouldn’t master it today; he would go unconscious again and soon enough. It wouldn’t sit well with him that he knew he didn’t master it and wouldn’t master it today, not that he didn’t think he could master it, he knew he would but going unconscious because he is weak and can’t do so many techniques in training until he gets stronger just doesn’t again, sit well with him. After that regaining of his footing however, Nonki would then keep his arm stiff again and do the final slash. This final slash was perfect speed but again the pausing killed it. However the positioning of the slash was from bottom right to top left in a diagonal slashing stand point.

Upon doing that slash Nonki would start to gain a bit of sweat, it was rather surprising that he could hold himself from sweating even though he was obviously tired from all the training and was pushing himself beyond his own limit but I guess determination does help. When he did the slash he would try to keep the right arm firm and straight while the blade would be pointed in the up left corner like it was being drawn on a box or something in front of Nonki. He still tried to keep his footing but he would slowly start to slide a bit as if he was going to fall, sliding his upper body down a bit, then he would knock out of the unconsciousness and stand straight up again while the blade was again pointed where already stated. Quickly Yamjin would start to walk again towards the young Samurai waiting for him to fall to his knees, upon him falling to his knees Yamjin would make sure he didn’t fall face first to the wooden floor of the dojo, he also had to make sure that the young Samurai wouldn’t end up getting hurt by the after effect of the dropping blade. With that said that is exactly what would happen, Nonki would slowly drop the blade which didn’t again sit well with him as he didn’t want to drop his Katana but it couldn’t be helped as he would slowly fall to the floor but Yamjin would reach him in time as Nonki would faint.[/ul]

Nonki would awake around the morning at 6 am or so, Nonki wouldn’t no the time that it was 6 am but he could hear the birds just chirping which would most of the time mean that it was earlier in the morning. When he awoke he would be lying against the wooden dojo floor with his Katana next to him, his body didn’t hurt any some he would at first think that Yamjin had made sure that he wouldn’t hurt himself upon falling to the ground from fainting. While laying there on the dojo floor however Nonki would put his right and left arm over to each side as he would press the palms of his hands against the floor in an attempt to get up, his body still didn’t hurt as he was trying to get up, it was fine and he was going to master that one technique now. There wasn’t going to be any delay in his mind, since he failed to do so earlier, he needed to make up for the time difference that he took by falling asleep just on accident so to speak. So when pressing the palms of his hands against the wooden dojo floor he would has his feet follow as he would get up to his knees. When getting up to his knees he would position his upper body to a straight position as he move his right hand to grab the handle of his Katana.

When grabbing his Katana and being kneeled on the dojo wooden floor, Nonki would move his left hand to his sheathed area and grab around the middle area of it while he moved his Katana towards the sheathed area to sheathe it, the technique made it to where, if you’re going to master it you’re going to need to by unsheathing the blade to begin with. Once his Katana was sheathed he would rise to his feet against the dojo floor, he would wonder where Yamjin was but he figured he was sleeping, besides, he didn’t need the old man anyways, he already knew what the technique required him to do so he would master it without the observation of Yamjin. Yamjin however would be asleep in the next room of the dojo; the dojo was rather small so the only other room in the dojo was actually Yamjin’s sleeping area along with his kitchen and bathroom, all in one type of deal. When he had rose to his feet however, he would have his feet into the dojo wooden floor, when standing Nonki would relax, try to regain his composure from falling on the floor from last night or around there so to speak, he couldn’t even remember the exact time or if it was late when he was trying to master this technique earlier.

With all this thought however, Nonki would place his right hand and palm against the handle of his Katana, when doing that he would feel the common feel of that cold steel that his handle always presented, even with the black cloth it could be could to the touch. When he did it would also make that very same noise it always made as if the Katana had moved a bit inside its sheathed area, and it did. When that happened he would unclamp the sheathed area, well not unclamp but that’s the noise he would make so he always referred to it as unclamping it. Once that happened Nonki would start to pull the Katana out of its sheathed area and intending to slash it from the lower left area to the upper right area in a diagonal stand point. When he would do that he would then continue the motions that are necessary to master this technique, once slashing from the lower left to the upper right the speed would be perfect as it always has been just the placement of continuing and not waiting was his flaw, he would need to change that as already stated if he was going to master this technique.

Upon Nonki slashing in the already said area he would already continue the technique with the flow of his right hand just continuing to move, he wouldn’t hardly pause at all for the upper corner area and he would keep his blade stiff as it should be, with that he would then move from the upper right area to the lower right area which was intended to slash the man in the right area and cause him damage, the left area is the only one left in which Nonki would need to use to master this technique, once and if he could pull it off, did that then he would have this technique mastered. When he did slash down in the right area he again, didn’t have it paused at all, he would just continue the slashing motion going quickly from the lower right area to the upper left area, when doing this he would continue the motion that he needed to, to master this technique. His follow threw from one area to the next was almost flawless, was it because he had slept and regained his energy? Who really knew but either way the technique was pretty much mastered as when he did that area he would then quickly sheathe his blade as you could hear the steel slide inside the black steel sheathed area.
