Re: God Save the Queen (and the Ayame!) [P, NK]

Mon Feb 27, 2017 11:04 pm

Ayame focused her energy on what was being asked of her. Ayame bent her knees a little as queen had suggested, knowing it would make it easier to withstand blows in general, however, it wasn't like she was entirely rigid beforehand. Still, she would attempt to block the blonde's movements again, still feeling herself skid back a little bit from the first punch as the blonde's fist made contact with her arm.

Now she was to brace herself when contact would be made... so Ayame did just that. She remained vigilant and flexible as she waited for the blonde to launch her next succession of movements, staying light and on her feet as well as vigilant, but also remaining aware; ready at any moment to tense her body to recoil against the taijutsu move.

Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Someone famous once said that... fig newton or something. Whatever, it wasn't so much important as to who said it right now... it was more so important as to what it meant and its applicability to the given situation.

When Queen would hit her arm, Queen is exerting force upon Ayame and Ayame's arm would exert a force back on impact. That was the basic meaning... simple, just like when they learned it in the academy. But there had to be something more to it than just that.

"So like Newton's Laws?" Ayame would respond trying to make sense of it all.

Queen watched as Ayame was able to block her punch with a little more control over her body, not skidding back as much. With the first punch block more successfully, Queen or reserve the direction of her body to launch a roundhouse kick towards the girl aimed at her shoulder at a speed of 50 and strength of 20. She lowered the speed just in case if she wasn’t able to block properly, She could at least evade the attack.

Whether she was successful or not, Queen would back up a few meters to give the girl some room to recuperate. “Something like that.” Queen replied, her mind sort of occupied with trying to form the technique she was working on. She was able to release the steady stream of chakra from her tenketsu points. She knew that it was at least covering an area of five meters around her. While the barrier was a little shaky, she figured it would have some effect... maybe? “Do you think you have a fair grasp on it?” Queen inquired. If not, they could go again, if so. Maybe they could move on to something else.

Ayame practiced a few times (provided queen would provide this in her next post, as I do not mean to god mod) either on queen or just making the movements on her own, attempting to block what she could, but still feeling herself move unsteadily if Queen were to go at her again. "It looks like it comes so easily to you" Ayame would say, "Taijutsu in general, I mean."

Aya would stop what she was doing a moment feeling slightly discouraged with Taijutsu in general. It was no secret that she wasn't as physically strong as her peers, but it often did discourage her. "I mean how do you do it? other than loads of hard work, but that comes with everything, doesn't it? I mean you look as though you have a proper build and such for it, but still it amazes me how fast you can move and how hard you can hit." she observed retaking her stance and preparing for another hit.

"Just in general, could you give me some pointers on General Taijutsu, you know to help me with all the moves, not just this one?"

Queen continued to through slow punches and kicks at the girl in order to help her get a grasp of the taijutsu block. Upon Ayame asking her the question, it took a moment for the blonde to ponder an answer. In honesty, it just came natural to the girl. She had been training in the arts of Taijutsu all her life so she didn’t really put much thought into it. “It’s just that.” She said. “Loads of hard work. I’ve trained taijutsu practically every single day of my life since I was little. After so many hours, you’re body just learns how to move. It’s also how I got my physique.” That’s pretty much the best answer Queen could give to the girl. Sure, some could argue that some are just naturally better than others, but Queen gave her all into Taijutsu and no one can take that away from her. Whether she was born with it or not.

“Never think of just one part of the body when performing a technique. Every body part and muscle contributes to each movement you do.” She began as she threw another punch at the girl to block. “A punch for example, you’re lower body is just as important as the fist. The movements you put into it determine the strength and the speed behind it.” As she spoke, another punch was thrown with Queen moving her hips and sliding her back foot causing this attack to be a little fast and stronger than the previous ones. “You have to take into account you’re whole body.”

As Queen was lecturing the girl on Taijutsu 101, her mind was still concentrated on performing the taijutsu technique. It seemed as it hadn’t effected the girl just yet, so she continued to concentrate on her chakra; and expand it from her tenketsu points to form the barrier. It was shaky but slowly but surely she was getting it.

Ayame nodded listening to the girl's explanations and feeling as if something was off, but she couldn't explain or say what. She, however, did make a face and mention it. "Something doesn't feel right. Am I dizzy?" she asked confused unable to explain what she was feeling with "dizzy" bring the best she could do. "Maybe I should sit down a moment" she stated doing so and sitting in the sand attempting to control her breathing unaware that she was having a Jutsu used on her besides the Tai movements.

Ayame furrowed her brow as she thought. "So it's kind of like dancing a little? I mean I always pictured taijutsu as hard and fast, almost like earth and lightning chakra combined, to be honest, but the way you describe it, it's almost like mixing water and wind energy together." Ayame stated before finally exhaling and standing up retaking her stance. "Alright, I'm ready to try again" she stated, preparing herself in case of another hit.

This time her body would not move as much with each it, showing that she was getting the hang of it, slowly, but still improvement was being made.

The girl seemed to get dizzy as she needed a moment to sit down. Queen took this as a sign that the technique she was working on the down low was finally taking effect. Having that confirmation was all she needed for her to dispel the technique. She was on the right path and would choose to continue on practice. “Let’s take five.” Queen said, as the two seemed to rest up. She listened to Ayame’s words, not exactly grasping her metaphor but if that’s the way she understood it, the girl would not make any arguments. “Alright, let’s continue.” The blonde said, getting into her fighting stance once more.

Queen threw a punch at the girl once more and watch as Ayame blocked it successfully, her knees locked causing her to barely slide back. A slight smile appeared on the blonde’s lips, impressed that she was able to get through the petite Genin. “Good Job, let’s try it once more.” The girl said as she launched a forward kick with a little more strength. Again, the girl (assuming) would have blocked it with ease; at least compared to before. “Looks like you got the hang of it.”

Tue Mar 07, 2017 3:51 am

Ayame blocked the blonde's next move with relative ease, especially compared to before, however it wasn't perfect, but it was still pretty damn good for this frail med-user. Aya smiled as she started to get the hang of it. "Gosh, that was harder than I thought!" She would say noting that it took her a while to get that far.

Ayame had then stopped to use her C rank medical ninjutsu to heal the bruises that had formed or begun forming on her arms from both the spar and the training.

"Is there anything I missed on you the first time?" Aya asked politely wanting to know if she needed to heal Queen and also wondering if queen wanted to learn medical ninjutsu.

“Very impressive. I’d almost say you’re a natural.” Queen spoke highly, which was quite rare from the girl. Maybe it was because she was in a good mood but she didn’t normally give such compliments. “With a little more practive, you’ll be blocking taijutsu attacks with ease.” With that, Queen stretched her body a little bit as she started to feel the affects of her earlier training before meeting up with Ayame as well as the technique that the Genin has used on her earlier. Her muscles felt sore and weak; surely she had put them through hell and back and could call it a day in terms of training. “I’m good, but that technique messed me up well.” Queen replied. “That’s surely to be one of your hidden weapons during the exams.” The Hyuuga would look out for that technique against any medical ninja she faced. She knew if she got struck with that at any moment, it might mean the end for her in one of her future battles.

“I don’t know about you but I’ve worked up an appetite. How about we get some ramen, my treat?” Queen offered. Surely the rest of her day was going to deal with business for the Yamano Corporation and she’s be spending that time alone; so might as well get some social time now. Besides, Queen didn’t have a lot of womanly friends per say and maybe she needed more of those. Sure, Ayame and her didn’t see eye to eye very often on the job, but who said they couldn’t be friends outside being a ninja.

Ayame smiled at the girl's compliment, actually feeling proud of herself for a change. "Yeah ramen, sound great, but I insist on paying for my own" she would state., still practicing flying into the blocking stance at a moment's notice as the girl talked, but still paying attention to her words.

"You said that you specialize in Taijutsu, right?" Ayame would ask whenever the pair decided to start walking to the ramen joint. "Do you have a pair of gloves I could borrow? I mean bringing gloves to the desert would be kind of useless, but I was just wondering about how big your hands are" Ayame shook off her statement as soon as it came out of her mouth. Good lord that would sound weird. "I mean that kinda was a bit strange, but you'll understand it a bit better after the exams, I hope" She would state meeting the blonde's beautiful eyes for perhaps the first time in a while.

“Ha if you say so.” Queen stated, smiling at the girl’s insistence to pay for her own. She was impressed with the girl’s dedication who was still practicing the block by herself as they made some small talk. As they were making their way towards the ramen shop, Ayame was asking the girl some rather strange questions. “I have these if you want?” The girl spoke, pulling out some basic fingerless gloves that she sometime wore when out at the dojo. She would hand them to the girl as she held back a laugh. She wasn’t sure what it was she was planning but she guessed she would find out son enough.

“Well I’m off.” Queen said, finishing her Ramen earlier than Ayame. She would Pay for Ayame’s bill at the same time as her own so that the girl wouldn’t notice. If the girl still insisted on paying for her own tab, she could use it to tip the waiter/chef.
