Tactics Class

[FlameHeart]

It is a bright and Sunny day. Differing from many other classes, this one takes place outside. The trees sway peacefully from the light force of the blowing wind. Tej stands in the center of this large plain just outside of SOB. The plain was perfectly flat with the exception of a few hills and craters. Scattered about the plain was a variety of diffent machines and ragdolls. Along side these doo-dads were seats with their attached desks.

Tej: And now for class to begin.

OOC: Simply post your student coming in and attending the class. We'll get started afterward. Enjoy!

[Aura]

"Hmm...a tatics class? I might as well sit in. Perhaps it will assist my fighting style even more,"


Haarku turned a leaf into an orb that the then sat on.

[Zen/Sin]

Drethanorth walked in, an icy chill following him.

"Tactics... Might as well..."

He made a throne of ice, and sat down.

[FlySkyHigh]

Tenchi yawned in annoyance, making his way into the new class. "Tactics?" He moaned. "Why tactics?" He sighed and promptly sat down in his seat with a huff. "Honestly, you'd think that of all people, the angel who fought in wars would be the least likely person to end up in a tactics class." He glanced around with trepidation. "I wonder who our teacher is going to be..." He continued to look around, until his eyes settled on none other than Tej FlameHeart. "Oh no..." He groaned.

[The Saiyan]

Suddenly, a gust of light purple wind blew through the area the class was to be held in. When it was gone, everyone could see a VERY dejected Matt begrudgingly taking a seat on a cloud.

Matt: Damn, why does the one Image that Raiko wins to her cause have to be the teleporting one?

[Torturous Flame]

A large wolf walks in, its white as snow and has wings. It jumps into a hciar adn turns into a giggling Melia. "Hiya! Gale made me promise not to talk unless pigs were flying." she giggles

[FlameHeart]

Tej: Alright, let's begin the class. Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for coming. I am Mr. FlameHeart. Many of you may know my as Tejy Wumpkins, Tejy Wedgie, or just Tej. Today I stand before you as a fully mature Tej.

Tej was holding many papers and pens in his hands. He began to walk past everyone.

Tej: I have in my hands your evaluation tests. I want to see exactly how experienced some of you are. Answer these questions to your best. NO CHEATING!!

Tej passes out the test sheets to everyone.

Tej: Annnd. BEGIN!! Remember to PM me all answers so no one cheats@

[FlameHeart]

Drethanorth, Haarku, Matt raise their hands. They were finished with their exams. Tej collects them and reads them all over carefully. He grins and stacks them neatly on his desk. Just ten a group of freshman kids rush into the class. Tej scolds them for being late and tells them to take a seat. He then hands them test papers as well.

Tej: I'll give you your results once I collect everyone's papers.

[The Razgriz]

Felix: Sorry I'm late for class. Oh well better late than never.

[The Unwanted]

Kallo flew down and landed next to Tej.

Kallo: Hey, i'm late because I slept in... got a problem?

Tej: Yes, you should've been here... I made a speech and everything...

Kallo: Ha, glad I came late then.

He grabbed a sheet and jumped into a nearby tree, sitting on the thick branch he began to scribble down answers.

[FlameHeart]

Tej takes up all the tests and looks them through. After a moment of silent reading, Tej lays the papers down.

Tej: I’m going to give you all the correct answers and then tell you your scores.

1. B. A whip.
Another sword would give you an equal chance against the opponent, but no real advantage, daggers are more short length and would not give an advantage either, unarmed is even shorter length. A whip has a longer length and is not limited to simple swipes. It can wrap around a sword and even penetrate defense positions with it’s evasiveness.

2. B. Kick opponent’s side.
Even though you may be winning the power struggle, your opponent can easily abandon the struggle and attack at a different angle. Continuing to push down would cause you to hit the dirt and be vulnerable to attack, if opponent dodges. Retreating would give your opponent a better chance to counter attack. Screaming like a little girl wouldn’t help you at all. Kicking the side will phase the opponent enough to slice the sword right through them or execute a combo while their phased.

3. C. Move around as much as possible as you near your opponent.
A frontal attack would get you shot easy. Looking for a weakness wouldn’t give you enough time to dodge, and you’d be shot. Why aim for the gun, getting close enough to the gun would mean you’re close enough to attack the body. Moving around as much as possible will you help you get near enough to the enemy to deal an attack.

4. A. Use weapon to strike vulnerable chest.
Being on the verge of death, your body is very limited to what it can do. Using a magic blast would waste to much of your energy, and you could end up killing yourself. Rolling to the side would only allow the opponent to strike again and again until finally hitting you. While the opponent’s chest is open, using your weapon would use little energy and cause maximum damage to the opponent.

5. Graded on elaboration and effectiveness of strategy.
I would have slowly approached the opponent, and waited for him to attack me first so I could counter and find a weak point in his attack pattern. After doing so I’d attack it.

Tej: Don’t feel ashamed for getting a low grade, as I wasn’t expecting anyone to get above 50%. The highest grade was actually 60%. Many of you have not been trained in strategy. But here we will train that so that not only will each of your attacks be more effective, but also to add more originality to your Rps. You may all trade answers and discuss techniques while I ready our next assignment. If you have any questions AT ALL just let me know here.

[FlySkyHigh]

OOC: Sorry... Missed the test...
~~~

Tenchi continued to glance over the test, frowning at his 50%. "You know... If I had actually paid attention, I would have gotten a hundred..." He muttered, cursing himself under his breath. He sighed. "Oh well." He muttered, incinerating the paper and floating it around absently with his light power, pushing up the pieces gently every time they got too low for his liking.

~~~
OOC2: Sadly, if I had seen that this test was up, I would have gotten at least 4 out of 5 of those right, cause I assesed it before I even looked at the answers... ^^;

[Aura]

"I must say that this was rather unexpected. I would expect better from myself."

Haarku grabbed the orb he was sitting on and walked back to the school.

[The Unwanted]

Kallo laughed to himself.

Kallo: Well, I did the test and got 0%... yet Tenchi doesn't do the test and get's 50%?

He looked over to him.

Kallo: Not getting the higher guy's to change your grade are you?

[The Razgriz]

ooc: Wow. We are terrible at this class.

Felix: Anyone else get number five right? And who got the 60?

[The Saiyan]

Matt didn't care that he had failed the test, so had everybody else. Grinning insanely, he waved the 60% grade around to generic nondescriptive gloating, because I'm a lazy ass.

[FlySkyHigh]

Tenchi gave Kallo a sharp glare. "No, it's simply that the intelligence of non-traitors is greater than that of idiot traitors like yourself" He said, daggers in his eyes as his aura fluctuated slightly, returning to normal as he looked away, focuisng instead on manipulating different battle strategies in his head.

[The Unwanted]

Kallo looked at Tenchi and allowed his arm to droop a little.

Kallo: Ha, you call yourself inteligent... if you didn't do the test and got a fifty percent score, and I did the test but got a zero, you explain how that works would you because i'm sure that you can explain it.

[FlySkyHigh]

Tenchi frowned once more, a hand on NItelm's hilt. "Do not speak to me foul traitor, I have warned you once, I will not say it again." Tenchi's eyes began to glow as his aura pulsed, making the very air around him quiver. "You lost all ties to me on the day you decided to help Satan, and for that you will never be forgiven, and henceforth I hereby decree that the next time you speak to me, I shall be sure to remove your traitorous tongue."

[The Unwanted]

Hyanda Tel Seldarine apeared in Kallo's hand.

Kallo: Just you try it Tenchi.

Tenchi pulled Nitelm out of it's sheath.

Kallo: How about we wait until after class though, don't want Tej getting angry do we suck up?

[Zen/Sin]

OOC: I've never used much tactics.... I'm the "Head-on" kinda guy... 20% is what i deserve.

Dreth: Kallo, Tenchi. No. We ALL failed, so quit your whining and shut up. seriously. You're in a class that teaches about THINKING more than actual fighting, and you are about to go at eachother's throats? Do you WONDER why you failed?

[FlySkyHigh]

"This coming from a guy that throws hissy-fits every other day" Tenchi said, raising a sarcastic eyebrow as he turned his attention to Dreth. "Honestly, you shouldn't be one to lecture." He shook his head in pity and drummed his fingers on his desk in annoyance. "So what now Sensei?"

[Zen/Sin]

"And why do you think i scored a 20%? I'm not bright, but i at least know when to avoid a fight. That being said, may i take leave, Tej?

Without waiting for an answer, Drethanorth left the room.

[Aura]

"Cease your fighting, or I will."

Haarku reappeared, two leaves at the ready.

[FlySkyHigh]

Tenchi pointed at the leaves. "Yanjo." He muttered, flame springing from his fingertips and flying at the leaves, incinerating them instantly. "Calm down Haarku. It's nothing serious, If it had been serious both Kallo and Dreth would've been knocked out before they could blink." He sighed, bouncing a tiny ball of flame along his fingertips absently.

[The Unwanted]

Kallo: Whatever.

Kallo lent back and had his sword dissapear.

Kallo: ... Haarku... good job on trying to stop the fight, at least you have self control.
