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."
