Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is where you will learn how to deffend yourself, your honor, and most importantly your loved ones. In our hand to hand combat unit I will teach you the basics of self defence. by the end of our first section you will be a master of the close combat arts. I will make you a warrior! in our second unit, close combat magics, I will have you practicing the application of your personal magics in your newly attained martial arts. nevermore will you have to worry about closing the distance in a fight. nevermore will you have to fear a lack of power. strength is not born into you, it is not taught. strength is how you use the skills you are given.

The room is large, with the seats organized like a roman hillside theatre. in the front of the room is a massive blackboard and a small raised platform on which rests the teachers desk. just infront of the desk is a large circular sparring ring with a concrete floor.

Teacher: Dr. Railus Dimitri Frankenstein, but he prefers you to call him proffessor.

at that moment Frankenstein was engrossed in his paperwork so much so that hedid not hear her enter until she spoke. signing one paper he snapped to attention, looking up toward her with a cheerful smile. standing from his desk he wandered to her and bowed slightly before speaking.

"you seem to be abit early, but that just means you get to pick the best desk!" he called excitedly before pausing to think. he should introduce himself properly as a professor, but how? screw it! "I am Dr.Railus Dimitri Frankkenstein. it's a pleasure to meet you. "

"Yes, Yes I am." he answered with a certainn calm certainty to his voice. "I'm glad to have you in class, Miss Nao" he added with a smile.

he turned about and yawned a little, heading back to his desk to add her to the classes roster. his hands danced across the paper as he wrote down her name and continued on to his paperwork. "You may choose your seat now if you like. I don't think it will be long until we begin." he called kindly.

"Ah well I suppose the least I could do for my first student of the day would be to prepare you. " he called once more as he stood up.

he left his desk with a smile and wandered to a large closet and opened the cabinet atop it. he reached in and grabbed a new pair of 6 pound weighted kickboxing gloves. he examined them carefully while closing the cabinet. smiling and nodding he tossed them to Nao.

"Try those on. wouldn't want you hurting your hands." he chuckled, scratching his chin.

Two heads peaked in, "Um...are we early, Sir?" The Twins said walking a bit in. "I think we are" Jake said looking at Jack, "It was your idea to come this early, twit" Jack growled. "I'm not a twit!" Jake snapped at him. The Twins glared at each other before looking back at the, what they think, is their teacher.

"Perfect" he smiled, realizing for the first time how adorable and small she was. he questioned for a moment whether or not she really wanted this class, but immediately dropped the idea. if she decided she didn't want it anymore, she could just drop it.

after a few moments he reached into a drawer in his desk, grabbing a black pair of the same style of gloves. aside from color and design they looked exactly the same as hers. his were black and hade elongated purple pointed tribal lines. he moved his hands around as if they weighed nothing. he slipped them on and stepped forward.

"enter the ring, please?" he asked with the utmost kindness in his voice.

"Jake" He started, "And Jack" he smiled brightly. "Aren't you a cutie" Jack said. The two stayed by the door, looking at each other. "Should...we leave?" Jake asked his twin. "I...don't know" Jack rubbed his head, sighing

he chuckled at her confidence happily and stepped into the ring with a smile. he stood on the exact opposite end from her and cracked his neck. he honestly hoped she could hurt him, at least that way it could be more interesting, and move the class along more quickly.

"Well then..." he began breathing out slowly "go ahead. hit me with your best shot?" he begged.
