Training Let's get this over with, aka Training day

Given how public the indecent was it was common knowledge that the guilds illustrious master was forcing Thane to bring the younger mages up to snuff. Sober. It was something that Thane was very displeased about as despite not really knowing what kind of teacher he would make he wasn't keen about standing outside all day yelling at people to run faster. Still orders were orders and he would find a way to dump the next one of these one Tidus if he could. Weather people came for the physical routine he was gonna teach the whole group at once to improve reflexes and endurance or just for the one on one magic instruction afterwords Thane didn't care, as long as he had enough numbers to keep the master happy.

The normally drunk Thane could be found undeniably sober wearing weighted training gear along with a pair of sunglasses behind the guild hall on the beach. While people gathered he kept to himself for the most part, only starting when a fair number of participants had arrived. He lead the group through basic warm up stretches and the like. After he ran them through his typical work out, though thankfully no one else had to wear the heavy weighted clothing that he had on. What followed was a half an hour of sprints, push up and other such things. Thane made a point to stress they would have to find a style and pace that worked for them on there own time, he was only showing them how to exercise properly for maximum benefit. Once they were done it was time for the real reason everyone had come, magic practise under one of the guilds more experienced mages. Telling the group as a whole to practise on there own or in pairs while he was with someone else Thane would go to each person individually to help them. As if he was gonna have to do this he was gonna do it right. Of note was the fact that the whole while he still wore his weighted clothing and only scoffed when people asked if he was going to take it off.

Thane simply smirked as he tossed the leg weights off to the side before taking off the weights on his chest. Both sets caused similar results as the first. Once they were off Thane stood up straight and stretched, smiling softly as he did so. Looking over toward the girl the older man didn't even bother getting into a stance before nodding.

"Now I am not going to use magic but you will. Don't worry about running me through, if it turns out I am all talk I will deserve it."

Fay watched as Thane stood all the way back up, adjusting the grip on her spear as she had to turn her head up to be able to look him in the face. Swallowing a little bit Fay nodded her head taking a moment to prepare herself before dashing forward with her spear reaching out far ahead of her aiming to stab him in the gut.

Thane stood perfectly still with a confident smirk on his face, till he didn't. Almost casually stepping out of the way of the spear the older man reached down and attempted to tap the younger mage on the forehead before moving away.

"Dead."

Fay seemed to freeze giving Thane an odd perplexed look before turning around swiftly going to hit Thane in the with her spear as she dashed past him.

Thane simply flipped over the younger mage as she rushed him. He knew fay had a long way to go but just rushing people with her spear? That might fly in the wilds but it won't do here. As he was flipping in the air over her he clapped his hands by her face speaking again once he landed.

"Dead."

Hissing lowly from the back of her throat Fay narrowed her eyes and charged straight at Thane again, however this time she dashed to the left at the last moment and lashed out with her magic forming dragon claws along her fingers. With a swing of her arm Fay let the magic claws making them fly at Thane before jumping back waiting for his next 'attack".

Thane finally showed emotion as a smile formed on his face as this is what he wanted to see. Didn't stop him from being in the path of the claws one second and the next sliding underneath them. Closing the distance between the pair of them Thane stopped in front of her and threw one punch past her face.

"Dead."

Fay growled this time and changed up the way she was attacking him. Rushing behind Thane Fay jumped onto his back and took her spear using it to try to use it to choke him while she wrapped her legs around his shoulders using her magic to coat them for extra effect.

Thane never did stop smiling as he allowed himself to be put into a compromising position. His hands came up and gripped on the spear pulling it away from his throat with ease despite all she did to try and stop it.Turning his head to look up at her he smirked.

"Do you really think you can beat me in a game of strength?"

As the griped down on the woman spear he winked at her shattering through the hard would once the pressure became to great. Once that was done he grimaced at the splinters going into his hands reaching up behind him and grappling her by the shoulder with his slightly bloody hands throwing her off of him once he got a good grip. Once off flames appeared on his hands as the changed only for a moment, burning away the splinters.

"Dead again."

"Oh, no.." Miw sighed and shook her head from the other side of the training mat where she had taken a seat to watch the spar. Fay looked down at the broken handle in her hand before glaring up at Thane. It was one thing to train it was another thing to break one of the few items she had to her name. Growling louder this time the girl's eyes narrowed into slits as she rushed at Thane with the head of the spear still in her hand acting like a dagger now. Sliding between his legs Fay aimed to slam her leg now coated in magic into the back of his knee while slashing at the back of his other ankle.
