The young soldier begins by trying to learn how to use the power of his faith in unarmed combat, like he does with his sword. By the end of the day, he is growing quite confident.
Master Jiem spent some time quietly talking with Kaoru, while the student merely nodded . . . a slightly confused look on his face. Kaoru, ever the willing student moved away from the others, and began to practice . . . though it seemed to all of the others that he wasn't doing anything. Inside, he was focusing his chi and trying to move through space. Realization dawned on Kaoru's face as he realized that he was starting to learn what the master was trying to teach.
Koryo struggles to learn the secrets of Shang Chi Channeling, he shows points of tremendous success, perfectly following the technique, but more commonly cannot grasp the tendencies of the manuever.
Ban Lu starts the next round of training over-confident after his initial success. This very nearly leads him into failure, but with an effort of will toward the end of the session he just manages to grasp the key moves.
Wang decides it is essential he can use his skills with or without a sword. Over the next two days, the young soldier continues working on Martial Arts Training, until he has mastered the technique.
Leng starts the day eager to learn. At first he understands very well the Shin Chi Chanelling technique, but then he gets sea sick by the motion of the waves. He decides that is best to stay in bed until he feels better.
The learning process is a hard one for Koryo and Ziang. Also Leng has lack of concentration and fails to grasp the concepts of the technique. The others are able to focus and learn their respective feats. Ban Lu has his mind in the edge, and he absorbs the concepts like a sponge of knowledge. Kaoru also grasps the moves of his technique with ease. The soldier Wang Chi learns the moves with military zeal, using his training and discipline at the imperial army at his favor.
It’s around 5 am in the morning, and our students are now tired and wasted. “You have done well. Perhaps you three can attempt to listen more carefully tomorrow. The choice is yours. For the others I’ve planned a careful training, you should have no problem with it as long as you keep a good focus. Now go to rest, I want you to be fresh and up when the sun is half way to the top of the sky (10 am)” Jien bows and heads to his room.
At about that time, Jien wakes you up, and leads you to the bridge again. “Well, let’s get started. We will rest at the afternoon and start again until midnight.” He says, warping a piece of cloth around his hands.
OOC
Well, now:
Koryo, Leng Ziang: You can attempt to make the physical training, with a circumstance -2 to rolls, or spend another day to learn it
Kaoru, Wang, Ban Lu: Well, start rolling guys.
For Shin and Shang Chi Channeling roll until you get (make A+C=11 rolls):
A: Win 6 rolls B: lose 4 rolls C: lose 5 rolls (DC:16)
RP a successful mastering if you get A or B(just takes more time.) and a failure if you get C.
Here you have the other trainings you are attempting from the OOC for quick reference
Mri'Thas: "Useless primates... " Sheng Zim: "Your existence brings the world out of balance. The chaos I bring shall revert it; unfortunately, your soul will be destroyed in the process."

Good to know" (Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult") Cnosos: "I bet there's plenty of wonderful devices in that ship. Let's scavenge them at once!" (Blackrat's "After Earth") Metliz: Sounds like fun! (Arkandus's "The First") Thok: "Thok eats a lot, Thok big. Thok not good at first impressions." (MnL's "Valley of the Dead")
Kaoru went to sleep dead tired but enlightened. In the morning, his eyes opened moments before the master spoke, calling them to duty. The young monk was eager to start his practice, and he took to it with great enthusiasm. His positive attitude and focus paid off . . . as within four short days, Kaoru had mastered what Master Jien was teaching him . . . the Phantom Walk.
Koryo spends some time in meditation before continuing his training. He seems to find his inner peace before trying again to learn the secrets of Shang Chi Channeling. This time his focus is narrow and he performs very well following his master's lead.
The monk manages to avoid drink and focus on his training. The master is wise in having chosen to teach him something that is so close to his nature. He has no difficulty learning it.
Koryo spends the month in training, his concentration is lacking however and it takes him far longer than expected to the maneuvers. He barely has time to grasp the basics of many of them and has little hope of mastering anything.
ooc
Time spent on prior trainings - between 4 - 7 on each so between 8-14 daysb
a 1 & a 3. That's unfair!!!
wouldn't have made it even if the training had been successful.
