St. Vladimir Academy discussion

Not really a class, but practice combat with strigoi here

Hello, Alexandra

Alexandra turned around. She was practicing moves on a dummy, and almost hit the girl that was in front of her. "God! Don't you know it's not smart to bother someone while their training. I almost hit you." Alexandra gave a tired laugh and lowered her arms.

Stephanie laughs. "Sorry.I wouldn't know, I've never trained before.." She looks at Alexandra's weapon wistfully.

"Well of course, I mean you are a Moroi." Alexandra crossed her arms. "so what are you doing here?"

"I got bored." Stephanie shrugged. "And I was in the mood to see someone get killed, so..."

Alexandra laughed loudly, "Well they won't let anyone get killed here. Just training, and then more training."

"But, then how do you, ya know, learn to kill Strigoi?" Stephanie wondered out loud.

"It's all about the dummies, They give us a stake and then we do our best to go past the ribcage." Alexandra wanted to be a top fighter so she did her best to know a lot about that subject.

"Well, do the dummies move? Do they fight back like Strigoi?"

"Not at all. That's why we fight with each other, we've all trained the same, and we all move as fast, so it's a good why to 'pretend' to take down a Strigoi. You ask a lot of questions."

"I'm a curious person. Besides, this practice is completely irrelevant. You fight with each other, you fight with dummies. You don't fight with strigoi. What if a novice freezes up when they see a strigoi? Then what? They let there Moroi die? I'm just disturbed by this, really."

"They don't let us fight a Strigoi, were not even ready yet. Plus if it was that easy to find one then we wouldn't need to train as hard as we are now."

"Accually, you would have to train ten times harder. If you could find Strigoi by walking down the street, that would mean there are thousands of them out here, waiting to attack." Stephanie runs a hand through her hair.

Amber walked in and placed her bag against one of the walls. She unzipped it and pulled out her stake. Today wasn't a good day for anyone to mess with her and make her upset. On this day, all those years ago, her mother....no. Amber wasn't going to let herself think of that. She started to practice different moves on one of the dummies, her anger increasing with each stroke. She didn't care who was in the room and if they stared at her as she continued to stab the dummy.

Isabella walked in wanting to practice she started to warm up and waiting for her friend to come and practice with her.

"Hey liannda" Isabella called waving a hand from where she was on the other side of the large room

"What's up?" Isabella asked the girl "you don't sound so good"

"Okay" Isabella said "why so tiered?" She questioned

Isabella gave her a small sympathetic smile "nightmares suck"

"Have you tried anything to get rid of them?" She asked

Isabella frowned "that so strange" she mused

Isabella laughed lightly "maybe you capfuls talk to one of the guardians they might know something

"Ready to practice" she asked stretching her arms out behind herself.

Isabela moved the middle of the room and took stance ready to fight.

"Oh come on can't you let me win just once" Isabella pouted pushing her hair back out of her eyes

Isabella grabbed her hand and tried pulled liannda down with her

Isabella frowned and landed on her feet swung a kick at her legs before she had even got two feet on the ground

"Hey in my defense I am younger than you are I'm only 15" Isabella complained "why do you think I practice with you"

"I do practice with others though you are the only one that pushes me" Isabella said

"Yes I know" she said "sure laps would be good"

Isabella jogged to catch up her

"Yes yea I know" she said trying to keep pace with her

Isabella went to flip over one of the obstacles and misjudged and landed flat on her back "owww" she moaned

"Mmhhhhhmm" she groaned rolling into her side

"Thanks" Isabella breathed taking her hand and getting to her feet holding her ribs.

"I'm not good at thinking I just do it" Isabella complained her voice a little breathy as she rubbed her sore ribs

"Yea I know" Isabella said "can we just run"

Isabella ran along side her

Isabella nodded and pressed forward

When Isabella came back around to the obstacles she kept going but thought before she moved and then jumped flipped and landed perfectly and continued running

"Thanks" she said with a grin

"All right" Isabella said moving away from running track

Isabella nodded and after a moment slashed forward with a stake.

Isabella turned following her movements thinking before she strikes for once

Isabella took aim and lunged and tried to knock her to te ground with the stake over her heart

Thanks" se replied "again?" She questioned
