One Master, One Apprentice. (Dual Training Xan & Zaku) [Closed Except to Hiro]

Make your exit post. So we can make another training topic later timed a week after Zaku was blinded.

Name: Shunpo
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C-rank (Blood Price Varies)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The user enters a different stance semi-falling towards the ground while running forward using the momentum from falling to rapidly accelerate the speed of a slash and using that as a pull to drag their body forward at high speeds. This causes the user strain burning up blood equal to one-rank below the speed that they are attempting to reach capping out at 1 A-rank of blood to move at Blinding Light speeds for that specific post. Despite the overwhelming cost, it is highly effective in dealing with threats that outspeed the user as in a single moment he/she can match their speed..and finish them.

Name: Batto
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: B
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Xan is the originator of the Geka Seido Fighting Style but before he could do so he had to first search for the origins of Iaido, unearthing the ancient Kenjutsu art of Batto. Unrefined Batto is applicable to any sort of Kenjutsu as it is simply the art of drawing a blade to initiate and attack in one fluid motion and to sheathe said blade in such a way that it seems as if the user hasn't unsheathed it at all while flicking any lingering blood away in the process. The speed of the draw is so quick that depending on the spacing it can outspeed incoming kenjutsu techniques to finish drawing to intercept them before they reach the individual. Likewise due to this speed draw it actually requires a Time-Slowing Dojutsu with Reaction Tiers (such as the Raidengan), Iai Prediction/Precognition + Muscle Tension, or reaction tiers above the user's speed to actually see the blade as it's being drawn. To all others they either only see the blade when it is drawn (Time-Slowing, Equal Rank Reaction, Muscle Tension, Iai Prediction/Precognition, Equal Sensory Mediums etc), or are unable to comprehend when the user draws their weapon if lacking some form of sensory.
Rank of User - Out-speeding Proximity (Speed Outsped) - Rea. Req to See
D - 1ft (Equal Rank) - D
C - 2ft (Equal Rank) - C
B - 3ft (Equal Rank) - B
A - 4ft (Equal Rank Sam Lvl) - A
S - 5ft (Equal Rank Tier Chain) - S

Name: Murderous Arts
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: With this fighting style, the user tends to attack with quick strikes to different parts of the body. The attacks can be used in conjunction with each other, usually making an opening for the next attack. The fighting style also revolves around aerial combat and smashing the opponent into the ground. Nothing is really special about the fighting style other than how wild the attacks are however their exists a way to unlock higher levels of power from this fighting style by following the Path of the Asura. The Path of the Asura involves a path of bloodshed & murder killing with those with large body counts eventually learning how to project their murderous intentions outward resulting in the formation of a demonic entity which hovers above them. Eventually this entity changes form being a mere optical illusion into an actual presence which can intimidate opponents into submission. This is known as "Demonization Mode" in which for a set price each turn the user can maintain the projection while harnessing this style which improves the Murderous Art's power and ferocity. The kata of this fighting style have no form, it just looks like a rampaging beast fighting.
Body Count (IC) - Projection Name - Effect
0 - None - N/A - N/A
At least 5 - Lesser Demon - Optical Illusion of a formless demonic entity
At Least 25 - Demon - Depletes Intimidation Limit by -1 Each Turn
At Least 50 - Greater Demon - I.T depletion by -2 Each Turn
At least 75 - Devil - I.T depletion by -3 Each Turn
100+ - Oni - I.T depletion by -4 Each Turn
500+ ("Z"-rank Only) - Oni - I.T depletion by -5 Each Turn
1000+ ("X"-rank Only) - Shin Oni Asura - Depletion of Fear Limit via techniques.


Name: Murderous Arts: Mean Kick
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact, Mid (Knock-back)

Description: The user swings their leg from the side at the target, making this the basic roundhouse kick. This attack is usually preformed at swift release speeds however additional speed can be used if available & deals D-rank damage. If this technique is used after "Kick Off", (if hitting an opponent from the opposite direction as Kick Off's knockback), the technique deals C-rank physical damage and sends the opponent towards the ground (10 feet). If used on the ground if the victim doesn't tense their body at the moment of impacting the ground with D-rank strength the will actually bounce off of the ground's surface into the air to a height of the remaining amount of feet while leaving them vulnerable to a follow up unless they possess an air movement technique. For example if used on a 5 foot tall person to knock them to the ground they would impact it and bounce diagonally 5 feet. When used in the air, instead of coming from the side, the kick comes from above and swings downward into the opponent & the victim instead bounces straight upward.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode in addition to the damage from the impact the victim likewise has their Intimidation Limit depleted by -1.

Name: Murderous Arts: Kick Off
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact, Short (Knock-back)

Description: The user rushes at the target at full speed and then quickly stops in front of them often at Swift Release however higher speed can be used if available. The user then brings a leg up, aiming to kick the opponent in the chin , sending the opponent 5 feet into the air unless the opponent has D-rank strength or a D-rank air movement technique. The technique deals D-rank physical damage. This attack can also be followed up by some other Taijutsu techniques, preventing the victim's ability to avoid the follow up unless they possess an air movement technique equal to the rank of the follow up.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode in addition to the damage from the impact the victim likewise has their Intimidation Limit depleted by -1.

Name: Murderous Arts: Sharp Elbow
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact, Mid (Knock=back)

Description: The user bends their arm, making their elbow pop outwards. They then strike the opponent with the elbow anywhere in the body in a thrusting motion usually swift release speeds however additional speed can be used if available. The attack also deals D-rank physical damage and knocks an opponent 10 feet upon impact. If this technique is used after "Kick Off", can either halt the initial knockback (if hitting an opponent from the opposite direction) to deal C-rank physical damage while also sending the opponent 5 feet often into the ground or simply knocks them further (15 feet) causing them to potentially crash into another object to sustain more damage.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode in addition to the damage from the impact the victim likewise has their Intimidation Limit depleted by -1.

Name: Murderous Arts: Smashing Headbutt
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Contact, Short (Knock-back)

Description: The user leans back while cocking back their head, which can likewise be used to dodge an incoming attack aimed at the head moving at D-rank speed. Once the head is cocked back the user thrusts forward at maximum speed (Swift Release+), aiming to hit the target with their head. This technique typically is used as a quick counter and deals D-rank physical damage. Not only does it do that but if the headbutt hits someone in the head, then it causes the opponent to be dizzy for 5 posts (total) unless they possess D-rank reaction tiers. If this technique is used after "Kick Off" (if hitting an opponent from the opposite direction as Kick Off's knockback), the technique deals C-rank physical damage and sends the opponent hurtling towards the ground (5 feet). This also raises the duration of the dizziness to 10 posts (total), and the reaction tiers needed to nullify the effect would be C-rank.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode a victim of the "Dizzy" Status will be unable to move at or above Max Tier levels (Min. 2 above Standard Tier Level) without falling.


Name: Past Confrontations: No Pain, No Gain
Classification: Taijutsu
Original Rank: D
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Sonikku Netsu is an odd blade, as rather than have an active weapon ability it has a passive one the ability to permanently teach it's wielder a single Kenjutsu Style over a period of time as long as they observe, fight against or are hurt by kenjutsu techniques of the specific style they are attempting to learn. Pain is the most effective method of learning, and through past confrontations as long as the user sustains equal rank damage in a topic from the specific style it will fulfill the topic counter at an accelerated rate depending on the rank of the Kenjutsu Style learned. With subsequent retraining each topic this effect occurs results in a reduction from the overall amount of topics necessary to learn the Kenjutsu Style.
No of retraining's (New Rank) - Kenjutsu Style Rank (At End of Topic Learn Count Reduced By)
5 (C) - C (-2) D (-3)
10 (B) - B (-2), C (-3), D (-4)
15 (A) - A (-2), B (-3), C (-4), D (-5)
20 (S) - S (-2), A (-3), B (-4), C (-5), D (-6)

Name: Past Confrontations: Blindness
Classification: Taijutsu
Original Rank: D
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Due to being blinded by his master the user has learned how to offset their loss of one sense by heightening their other senses. It is a natural phenomena which is more typical among those who have been blind for several years however through Past Confrontations the body adapts to compensate for their disability. With subsequent retraining's the user is able to focus on one of their newly enhanced senses albeit lowering the others in response.
No of retraining's (New Rank) - Other 4 Senses Base Level (Max Focus, Other 3 Senses Lowered to)
0 (D) - Normal (N/A)
5 (C) - Normal (Raised, Reduced)
10 (B) - Raised (Heightened, Lowered)
15 (A) - Raised (Enhanced, Min)
20 (S) - Heightened (Max, Sensory Loss)

Name: Past Confrontations: Echolocation
Classification: Taijutsu
Original Rank: D
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Req. Past Confrontation: Blindness. Due to being blinded the user has learned how to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds – for example, by tapping his sword, lightly stomping his foot, snapping his fingers, or making clicking noises with his mouths – people trained to orient by echolocation can interpret the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, accurately identifying their location and size. This is typically restricted to those who were blind at birth due to their brains naturally being wired differently than those with sight, with practice even those who became blind later in life are able to use it for acoustic wayfinding, or navigating within their environment using auditory rather than visual cues. It is similar in principle to active sonar and to animal echolocation, which is employed by bats, dolphins and toothed whales to find prey. With subsequent retraining's the user is able to detect things using their Echolocation at a farther distance, due to relying on sound the user is unable to utilize this technique to detect those travelling past the speed of Sound (A-rank+ & Above) without advanced techniques.
No of retraining's (New Rank) - Echolocation Sonar (Radius in ft)
0 (D) - 10
5 (C) - 20
10 (B) - 30
15 (A) - 40
20 (S) - 50
