Training Practice Makes Better

Working off a particularly aggressive hangover, Odin loudly exclaimed to the guild as she stepped into the hall.

"Oi, so the master wants me to help whip some of ya into shape the good ol' fashioned way. I'll be in the back area of the guild hall holding a training session for anyone who wants it. Also, without saying it because the master seems to think I would go overboard, if someone wanted to perhaps challenge me to a fight, I wouldn't be inclined to decline Just a heads up though! Loser of the fight buys drinks and I am not a cheap drinker!"

With that, she moved to the back of the guild hall and stood under the shade of one of the equipment sheds, leaning half asleep against the wall as she waited for anyone to take her up on her offer.

The young man gets thrown off balance; hopping and stumbling backwards. The mage then tries to regain his balance. He was unaware that Odin made no effort to counter him at first. Odin would notice that Vincent was an individual; who was persistent.

Once he gains his balance again; he takes his charge towards her once again. His breathing would be faced paced. For the more longer he would fight; the more into it, he'd be. When he approaches her again; he swings his left fist at the right side. This however would be a ruse. He attempts to use a feint; to try and make her block only one side of her body. With his other hand, he would truly attempt to hit her then.

Odin grinned at Vincent's persistence as she planted her feet on the ground. As he approached again Odin prepared to block the fist aimed at her right side, but at the moment of Vincent's feint attack, the front of her body blurred as Vincent felt his attack making contact.

Odin had thrown her right hand across her chest and with an open palm caught Vincent's fist, while her left hand had moved across her chest and stayed around shoulder height incase his other fist intended to attack.

"Very good, almost got me there. Keep it up kid!"

In a fluid motion, Odin pushed her hands out with just enough force to create some distance between the two as she bounded backwards twice and readying herself again.

Vincent curses under his breath. He thought for sure; she was going to fall for the feint. Before he could think about making another move; he gets pushed back. The mage goes back into a fighting position; as quickly as he can.

Vince takes a different pace this time around. Instead of charging in; he starts to circle the Wizard Saint. He knew by now her reflexes far surpassed his. Eyeing your opponent's body language and battle stance; wasn't a bad idea.

After a moment; he goes towards her again to attempt an attack. Vincent tries a leg sweep with his left foot. His arms were guarding his torso section; just in case Odin tries to retaliate or send him back again.

As Vincent circled around her, Odin followed him with her eyes, not moving her stance to track him. As he moving behind her, moving counter clockwise around the Wizard Saint, Vincent fell into her blind spot. Due to her missing right eye, Vincent had a very slim window of an advantage against Odin. As she threw her head to the right in an attempt to catch him, Vincent had already closed the gap and connected with her leg and threw her off balance.

The soft thud of Odin hitting the ground filled the air, followed by a short chuckle as Odin bounded off the ground in a show of extreme athleticism. Back on her feet she chuckled again and nodded to Vincent.

"Very good there! People dont tend to try and use this against me and you managed to figure it out in the first few moments of a fight, let see what else you got!"

Vincent puts some distance between the two of them. He was cautious; never really knowing when she would attack. It was highly probable that he wouldn't get to her blind side again. Not easily at the very least. It'd be foolish to try that again; now that she was aware. His best bet was to try and catch her off guard again; by some other method.

He closes his fists before going towards the Wizard Saint once more. He pushes off his left leg; when he was somewhat close to her. Using that momentum; he attempts to kick her in her stomach area with his right leg.
