Nightken's Secondary Magic Training[Private]

Nightken arrived at the Serene Cliffs with all of his equipment since he didn't know whether or not he'd be needing it, but couldn't see Chikane anywhere. "Am I really that early?" He asked aloud as he sat on a large rock. Looking up at the sky there wasn't a cloud in sight, the sound of the birds and bugs somewhat echoed near him. "What was it that Izunagi said when I started my training with him? Oh yeah that's right he said "That magic comes in every shape and form, you just have to find the types that feel best with you." He said to himself while looking at the sky. Thinking back to his training he started to do what he was taught. He took up a meditation sitting pose and cleared his mind of all unimportant things at the moment. After he cleared his mind he stood up then drew both of his swords and started doing some sword training. The wind blew through the forest causing leaves to fill the air, he used this chance to work on his swordsmanship. Slicing through several leaves with each swing he was focused on his movements because one little mistake can result in him leaving an opening for an enemy. With all of the leaves he sliced they turned to ashes afterwards, taking a small break from that he sheathed his Nidai Kitetsu. Putting the back of his Ramei Okami on his shoulder the blade grew to fifteen feet in length and looked to be made of pure blue lightning. With two swings of the massive blade he cut down six surrounding trees before the blade looked like it shattered as it returned to its normal size.

Chikane walked at a sedate pace towards the Serene Cliffs, her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face. The guild master seemed to be in no immediate hurry, which was good considering how often she usually bumbled around trying to get to her destination on time. But seeing as how early the person she was supposed to meet had left, and how early she herself finally managed to depart, the flame mage considered that time wasn't of the essence, and she could take her sweet time getting to where she needed to be. After all, it wasn't each day that Chikane could get out of the guild for anything that wasn't some sort of official business, so she would abuse this small time she got as much as the Fairy Tail guild master wanted.

She took the time to think of why she was traveling to the Serene Cliffs in the first place. One of her more quiet members, Nightken Blackwing, had asked for her help in training. Being the loving and caring guild master that she is, there was no way Chikane could have refused his request even if she wanted to. It presented her with many an opportunity to get to know more about one of the members she wasn't quite close to, and help someone grow stronger. Chikane didn't know how Nightken felt personally about how she had entered the guild and became the master, but she sure hoped he didn't hold a grudge against her like other people did. He seemed kind enough, but appearances could be deceiving.

Chikane finally made it to her destination, where she saw Nightken practicing with his blade. Watching the carnage he created she whistled in astonishment as she approached him. "What a mighty fine blade ya got there Nightken. A real weapon if Ah had to say so mahself." Chikane smiled and looked in the sky briefly, checking the time in her mind mentally. "So, Ah reckon you want to get started quickly?"

Hearing the sound of someone whistle Nightken looked to see that it was Chikane. "Nice to see you Noriko. With the training we can take our time so I'm not messing stuff up too bad at first." He said to her as he sheathed his sword and proceeded to sit on the rock he was on earlier. "Before I forget to ask is alright if I call you Noriko? If not I can call you by something else." He asked her before they started the training. Taking in a deep breath he calmed himself from his earlier exercise and started to clear his mind of things that are not important at the moment. Focusing on the training at hand he stood up dusting himself off and looked at her with the same determined look that he gave Izunagi during the training he did all that time back then. Thinking back to that time it was a rather interesting experience training on Thunder Island as a kid, but at the same time it was a frightening situation as well. Just realizing he sort of spaced out a bit he snapped out of it and saw that a couple minutes had actually passed. "Sorry about that I was just remembering the time I trained with my old mentor when I was just a kid, but enough of that let's continue on with the training." Nightken said to Noriko before doing a bit of stretching. While he stretched there was several loud pops that could be heard.

Chikane chuckled and waved off Nightken’s question, seemingly not caring but she also would answer it just to sate his curiosity on the matter. “Ah don’t mind whatcha call me sugah, Ah tend to let you call me by my name or anything. Just note that Ah’m not just your guild mastah, but also your friend.” Chikane smiled and stared off into the sky for a moment, before looking down to say something to her guild member. But what she noticed was that he was staring off into space, seemingly forgetting about where he was. The flame mage tried to get his attention for some time, but was surprised when he ultimately snapped back to attention and apologized for spacing out. Chikane chuckled again and just shook her head. “Don’t cha even worry about zoning out, we all have that moment when we just need to completely leave reality.” Chikane knew what she was talking about, after all she had plenty of moments where her airheaded nature took over and she was…...completely detached from reality. But those were situations for another time, so she shook her head and placed her hands on her hips.

“So. Let’s get down to training! Ah hope this goes well.” Chikane sheepishly grinned and rubbed the back of her head. Things almost never went according to plan for her, so this was going to be a gamble as to what happened as well. But, Nightken seemed responsible enough. So this wasn’t going to turn into anything big.

Just good old training.

Nightken was told to just start doing some basic training exercises which at first confused him, but he decided to just go with it. Taking his duster and swords off he put them on the rock he was sitting on then started to do push ups. After about a minute he had already done a hundred push ups and proceeded to do curl ups after taking a two minute breather. After about three minutes of doing curl ups his shirt became drenched in sweat. Taking it off and ringing it out to get most of the sweat out of it he placed it on a tree branch. Once he put his shirt on the tree branch it started to run through his head that this doesn't seem like actual magic training. Hopping onto a branch thick enough to support him he started to do so pull ups. Another three minutes passed before he actually sat next to a tree taking a bit of a break. "What exactly is this normal training got to do with magic training? I've been curious about this since I started." He asked while taking a break. Staring at Noriko he was rather curious on why she had him doing these normal exercises when it didn't seem to have anything to do with magic training. When he thought back on it Izunagi did the same thing at first and told him "You have to build your body if you expect to take hits from an enemy's magic."

Chikane smiled at Nightken when he asked what the routine exercises were for. Even someone as calm and collected as he was, there was always that question of why do any regular old exercises when they could get down to the actual training in the magic. Akosh had always scolded her for not doing her morning routine in favor of trying to learn more magic, and then forced her to do the entire exercise twice over and then work more harder on her magic training than she did earlier. True, he also was a slight psychopath and an absolute slave driver, but his teachings did not fail to leave their own slight impression on the flame mage. “Ah learned that its best to build your body so that you can adjust to the magic. Even if it seems useless, the best way to do things is the way that always has worked.” Chikane dug around in her pocket and pulled out a small knife, one that was going to be used as the start of Nightken’s training for this more complicated and…..unique magic.

“And when you’re done with that Sugah, we’re going to start on getting you trained with this magic.” Chikane flipped the blade once in the air and caught it again, testing out the weight of the blade. “Let’s keep this up for now though. Ah think it’ll be for the best.” Chikane learned her methods of training from her own mentor, Akosh, so things might get a little crazy. He was calm normally, but that man was slightly insane.

And things would only get even more insane with Chikane mentoring Nightken.

Standing up Nightken turned his back to Noriko as he grabbed his shirt off the tree branch revealing a scar that look like a lightning bolt at the bottom of his back. Once he had his shirt back on he started to do dashes by running back and forth between the rock he has his stuff on and a tall tree a good fifty feet away. Spending a good five minutes of this he eventually out of habit used his lightning body and zipped back and forth at least a good hundred times in the matter of seconds. "Damn it sorry old habit when I start running for a while I end up using my Lightning Body spell to go even faster." He said scratching the back of his head. Working on his unarmed combat skills he did some boxing punches on an old tree that left a husk behind. Once he was finished with that he grabbed his Ramei Okami and started to do the basic sword training up to the advanced that he has learned. Sheathing it he then grabbed his Nidai Kitetsu and threw it up into the air holding his arm out under it. The back of the sword ran across his arm and stuck into the ground. "Guess the curse on you isn't ready to take my life yet." Nightken said as he pulled the sword out of the ground and inspected the blade. It didn't look or feel any different he sheathed it then turned to Noriko. "So exactly what are you wanting me to do with that knife."
He asked her looking over the knife.

Chikane absentmindedly flipped the blade in her hands up and down while she watched Nightken train. Her mind wandered onto what she was going to have him do for this magic training session, and how it would affect him in the future. Of course it wasn’t going to be much of a problem for her to explain what she wanted him to do with the blades she had on her person at the moment, since this magic he was training for was quite unique in its own way. Being able to copy blades and then use them for his own purposes was quite a skill to have in battle, but Chikane didn’t exactly know all of the details so she would have to have him practice a bit with it before she got him into the serious stuff. The Fairy Tail guild master smiled at the lightning mage when he asked what she had planned for him with the blade in her hands.

“Why Ah expect you to practice this new magic you’re trying out with this blade silly.” Chikane chuckled and chucked the blade into the ground next to Nightken’s feet. “Of course Ah know it will be harder for you to do so, but practice does indeed make perfect so Ah expect a lot of practice out of you Sugah!” Chikane was dead serious about expecting nothing but the best from him, he was a proud Fairy Tail member so he should give 110% at all times.

Of course Chikane wouldn’t fault him if he messed up a few times here and there. Everyone was slightly human in some way.

Picking up the knife he spent a good five minutes to get all of the details about it memorized. Once He finished doing that he put the knife down next to him and started to focus on creating a copy of the knife. Doing what he did before he cleared his head of everything else and only thought about that knife. The knife began to manifest in his hand until it shattered. "Guess that was too much power to make a copy." He spoke aloud as he quickly went back to trying again. It took him another five tries to successfully make a copy of the knife. "It is pretty tricky on making a copy too much magic and it shatters too little and it won't manifest." After saying that he threw the knife copy at a nearby tree making it shatter after impact. Looking at the impact spot he figured something out that he'll have to keep in mind the copies can only handle a single attack before shattering. Sitting where he was sitting earlier he started to focus on making a copy of his Ramai Okami. It took him almost ten attempts to make a copy of his own sword, but once it was made he placed the back of it on his shoulder causing it to grow to fifteen feet in length. With one swing he cut down the tree he threw the knife copy at. The copy of Ramai Okami shattered after cutting down the tree, that is when he started to think of something interesting to try. With this much practice thus far he got a feel for the amount of energy needed for a copy and just focused as the guild weapon Blade of the Fairies manifested in his hand.

Chikane watched as Nightken progressed in his training, carefully keeping an eye on what he was doing. She had to make sure he didn’t end up hurting himself, or damaging the area around them without them being able to fix it. She couldn’t do much for him outside of giving him some nice advice and watching his progress, but she didn’t want him to think she wasn’t going to help when the time called for it either. “Keep working on it Nightken, we have all day to work with here.” It was true, they did indeed have all day to keep working on it. With her work being all done, she could in fact do what she wanted for a little bit now. She was patient, and a little bit more giddy when he managed to summon the guild’s weapon. She watched, sitting cross-legged with her blade on her back, and waited to see what else he would create. Her own blade was something she was hoping he would try to recreate himself, however it was definitely noted to her that he would need both hands for it. Nightken could definitely grow to use this magic to its complete effectiveness, maybe even become a force that no one would want to mess with sans any of the slayers that were in the guild.

Proudly Chikane watched him practice with each blade, testing them out and noting how he had to be careful with the amount of swings he used. The flame mage watched on quietly, wondering how much he could do before he got burnt out.

After manifesting a copy of the guild weapon he continued the training by dropping the copy making it shatter. Holding his hands like he was carrying a two-handed sword as a thirty foot sword appeared in his hands, but to his surprise it didn't seem all that heavy. "Guess I can't forget the sword that Leo used to beat me all that time ago." He said before dropping the weapon making it shatter which made him realize something for this magic if the weapon leaves his hands it shatters. Once the Blade of the Apocalypse shattered his head started to ache as he heard something in his head. "I am the bone of my sword... Steel in my body fire in my blood... I have created thousands of blade... Unknown to death, nor known to life... Have withstood pain to create many weapons... Yet, these hands will never hold anything... So I pray, Unlimited Blade Work." Once he finished chanting a flame that doesn’t emit any heat spreads out to form a boundary and wall for the bounded field. The bright light fills the vision of those present, and manifests an open, barren desert with monolithic black gears gyrating in the distance. It is a kingdom of rubble littered with countless bladed weapons anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteyard. Looking around he saw every bladed weapon he's ever seen in there, which made him think as he remembered seeing Chikane's sword. Holding out his hands a copy of her sword manifested in his hands. "Honō no uta" He spoke the sword's name without ever being told the name, but he didn't see Chikane anywhere."

A man walked up to Chikane and whispered in his ear. She nods at the man, then turned to Nightken. "I had someone whom could challenge you come." She motions to the exit. "he will test you outside. I sadly have other things i need to do." Chikane smiles and walks out. "Oh and be nice hes not from Fairy Tail."

Kiba had been called as a favor to the GM of Fairy Tail, it was a pain but when a GM asks for something you do so. Kiba stretched he knew nothing about the man he was suppose to be training.

With a bright flash of light Nightken was somewhat blinded by it. The bright light filled the vision of those both him and Kiba, and manifests an open, barren desert with monolithic black gears gyrating in the distance. It is a kingdom of rubble littered with countless bladed weapons anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteyard. It was confusing to him on how they got here before he realized it was that chant which triggered this place getting manifested. Looking in his hand he saw Chikane's sword in his hand which made him try out what it can do. Nightken reared the blade back with one hand, before it became engulfed in red hot flames. Spinning in a circle once, throwing the blade forty meters away. The blade spinned rapidly in a circle, becoming a discus like flame object while it traveled at what seemed fifty miles per hour. After the blade reached its max distance it shattered and reappeared somewhere with in the wasteland that looked like a grave of blades. "You said that you'll be taking over if I heard correctly. If so thank you for taking the time to do this." Nightken said doing a polite bow at Kiba for taking the time to take over his training. Looking around he saw his Ramei Okami sticking out of the ground near him, drawing the sword out of the ground he readied the sword preparing for anything that Kiba has to throw at him. He was determined to master this new magic so he won't be giving up on it anytime soon.

Kiba smiled at the man as he readied himself for combat. "Well then lets not waste time." Kiba summoned his Gauntlets and boots, slamming his fist's together. "Well then shall we." Kiba didn't wait for a go, life was not that kind. It would not wait for you to be ready, and Kiba didn't wait for the man to be ready. Kiba used Illusion Break to get behind the man, Leaving a Illusion of himself standing ready for an attack, followed by a quick Fates Turn. If the blow landed it would leave the man dizzy as well as make it harder to walk. Kiba stepped back attempting to avoid any counter-attack the man threw his way.

"Remember that life is not fair, it will not always wait for you to be ready." Kiba repeated the words his father had said to him when he was young. "Its can be cruel, it can be kind, but most of all it is unpredictable." Kiba waited for the man to retaliate. Kiba didn't know where this man was Compared to where Kiba was in life, so Kiba started with the first lesson he had ever learned... Humility. "Life... is only as cruel as you allow it to be."

Spell Descriptions:

The member 'Kiba Yukiko' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Normal Dice' :

Nightken saw as Kiba materialized a pair of gauntlets and boots before preparing to attack, but something wasn't right since he felt as someone came within five feet of him, out of response he used his Lightning Body to quickly move away and countered with his Ramei Okami's Lightning Slash sending out four blue lightning shock-waves towards were he was at just a second ago. Once the attack was over the copy of his sword shattered into pieces that floated up into the air and went somewhere with in the Blade Works. "Not too sure what he did, but I need to stay on my toes here." He muttered to himself as he grabbed the nearby Dusk Slicers from the ground. Putting on the arm blades his stance changed to an odd looking one before he moved towards Kiba, to only hit an illusion of him causing the arm blades to shatter as his attack became useless. Looking around he saw the real Kiba grabbing the nearest sword he moved towards him ready to strike. The weapon he grabbed this time was a normal great-sword that he saw Leonard use a long time ago. Not being fully used to fighting with such a large sword his footing and movement with it was sluggish which meant he was most likely going to fail on this attack attempt. He knew this fact, but it didn't stop him from going through with the attack since he needs this training otherwise there might not be another chance for this type of training again.
