Kuro walked solemnly to his lesson, as other students laughed and tortured him over his combat practice failure. Kuro frowned as he went outside into the kidou practice grounds. He was shocked to see and old man of Asian decent with a long black mustache welcoming him warmly. "He..hello..." The old instructor chuckled warmly, "You do not look happy to be here.... I am sure you will do fine." Kuro shyly nodded and walked with the others. The old instructor got a few volunteers to shoot targets with Way of destruction number three: Crimson strike. Most the students could produce it and missed or it the edge of the target dummies. Some could not produce it at all. Kuro sat there shocked that everyone was doing so badly. Kuro stood and walked between two students. "Excuse me... but you are doing it wrong...." The students glared at him angrily spitting out comments such as, "Well then you do it!"

Kuro nodded and got in a casting stance. Yes child, show them your strength... Kuro nodded at the voices comment and cleared his throat. "Way of destruction #3 Crimson strike!!!" A red ball of energy sizzled in his hand, swiftly launching towards the target. The center of the target sizzled as the small ray of energy burnt through. Kuro jumped up and down with excitement. "Ya! Bulls-eye!" The teacher grinned happily, "Well... How about that? You can use basics with ease... How about something harder for you?"

The instructor smiled, "Well do you know how to disarm?" Kuro shook his head. The instructor handed him a scroll, "I will give you a few moments to read over it.... Then I will see if you can use it..." The instructor turned around helping other students. Kuro sat down and read over the scroll. A few moments later the instructor grabbed a wooden sword and walked to Kuro ready to swing down. Look out boy... Kuro looked up seeing the instructor and fearfully shouted, "Expel the weapons of war! Disarm my opponent! Way of Destruction #5 Disarm!" The wooden sword flew from the instructors hand. Kuro laid ont he ground catching his breath. The instructor smiled happily, "I want to test one last thing for the day.. Hopefully you have enough energy to impress me once more."

The instructor called over a 2nd year, "Show him the black thunder..." The 2nd year called out and a wave of dullish grey energy flew by. Kuro shook his head. "Its supposed to be black... and a lustrious black.. Not grey." Kuro stood turning towards the training dummies. "May the black sounds of those who have felt death emit and destroy! Way of Destruction #7 Black Thunder!" A black lustrious wave of energy shot from his palm tearing apart the dummies. Kuro panted as he smiled, "That's how it should be done!... I am sorry sir.. I do not have enough energy to cast anything else." The instructor nodded and dismissed Kuro.

+2 Kidou ^^

Kuro walked solemnly into the classroom, letting out a long sigh. The instructor walked to Kuro. "Boy was is holding you down? You know you're a skilled student, there is no need for you to be so down in the dumps." The instructor put his hand on Kuro's shoulder, "Now tell me what is bothering you." Kuro looked at him, then looking down at the floor. "My kidou has failed me in a duel. It was all easily countered, as if it was nothing. This is a field I have put almost everything into... And yet.. I have lost in the duel." The instructor looked confused. "You failed in a duel with your level of Kidou? Which of the academy students pulled that off?" Kuro shook his head slowly, "It was not an academy student.. It was a 4th seat." The instructor choked a bit. "A.. a 4th seat?" The instructor looked at Kuro for a moment. "I will help you the little more I can." The instructor turned and told the students to practice the Pale Lightning technique. The instructor began to walk to the training grounds for kidou, stopping to turn towards Kuro. "Come on child... This will be a special practice session for you."

Kuro followed him to the kidou training grounds and stood a few feet away from him. The instructor smiled, "You will have a duel of kidou with me...You shall make the first move..." Kuro nodded and slapped his hands together. "From my skin, I release the porcupine's spines. Inject the target! Way of Destruction #12 Needle Release!" Needles shot from Kuro's body towards the instructor. The instructor nodded in approval and calmly said, "Though the Knights Templar are either dead or hidden, one who knows of them can summon their strength. Way of binding #54 Shield of the Templars." A silver shield with the symbol for duty appeared blocking the attack. The recoiling needles flew back in Kuro's direction, some piercing Kuro's flesh. Kuro howled in pain. As Kuro was distracted the instructor went to his face, "Way of Destruction #1 Thrust!" Kuro flew back into the wall, some of the needles piercing deeper into his flesh.

The instructor shook his head, "I was expecting more out of you. Someone who had impressed me so much, you have sure proved that in actual combat you are not rea...." The instructor looked up seeing a splash of oil flying towards him. Kuro shook his head and raised his hand once more. "Topple over, spill into the Ocean, Pollute the Waters! Way of Binding #14 Oil Slick!" Oil splashed once moor towards the instructor. Boy finish this now! The instructor raised his hand and began to leap over the oil. "You have no time to cast now! Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and..." Kuro reached down his hand shooting a Crimson strike without saying anything towards the oil near the instructor. The oil lit up catching the instructors robes on fire. He jumped back and put of the fire. The instructor smiled at the panting Kuro. "Impressive... You pass this exercise... Do you even realize you casted that Crimson strike without any Incantation, well without saying anything?" He handed Kuro a book of kidou with a long list of Kidou spells. "If you need my help come see me. Though it seems to me that you do no need it... I am proud of you.." The instructor patted Kuro's head and walked off, back to his class. Kuro smiled at the instructor, then smiled at his book of kidou.
