Good morning to you all.

I am seeking to add more sparring and training partners to my daily regimen. While I am a swordsman and a marksman, I have no special abilities like many of you do. At least, none that work on kaiju. I would like to train against those who are stronger than I who uses such abilities. I want to be able to learn how to attack and defend against a plethora of different attacks in order to be ready for anything a kaiju may throw at us.

In return, if you are interested in sword or handgun training, I would be glad to show you the ropes.

I'm a well-experienced combatant and seek those who will not hold back.

Thank you for your time.

now this is a request that's right up my alley

happy to spar. even got different "difficulty levels" on offer. always appreciate someone willing to sharpen their skills, so I'll be a fine whetstone

[the_fourteenth]

That sounds perfect. I appreciate it.

I've been training others and sparring as much as I can, but I need to challenge myself more if I wish to compete with kaiju, and not be a liability on the battlefield.

@duke

[frostfist]

I'm afraid you already know the limits of my abilities, but if you're still willing to give a few lessons on swordsmanship or handgun training I'll be sure to find a way to pay you back.

[the_fourteenth]

Of course, I'd be glad to anytime. No need to pay me back.

@Coinflip

[failedsafe]

Swords, huh? Can't be the classics, sometimes. What kind do you use?

[the_fourteenth]

A katana. It's an effective tool against the demons I fight back home, capable of exorcism. It is not as effective against, say, a 100-meter long kaiju.

@TYPHON

[redsoil]

Oh, pick me! I am an excellent choice as a mentor.

I am an undefeated tactician, and have many specialties pertaining to dealing with opponents of all types. I will not go easy on you, but you would flourish under my instruction.









Or you will die! 😘

[the_fourteenth]

[He's going to take that last comment as a challenge.]

I hope you would not take it easy on me. That's not what I am looking for.

I appreciate the offer for help. I'm willing to get started right away.

[cranekin]

Feeling restless, Raidou-kun?

[the_fourteenth]

[Something like that.]

I just want to be in the best shape possible for the next mission.

@sanda

[thundercrashes]

I'm not sure how much I'd be able to help you with training around special abilities, given that I don't really have any of my own either. I've had to rely on using holograms and whatever weapons for defense Lilith has felt like providing for most of my involvement with the Kaiju. If you want to try using the implant for making any of your own for distraction purposes with the Kaiju I could give advice for that, I suppose?

That said, I would be interested in learning how to use a sword or gun, if you don't mind giving me pointers on those things.

[the_fourteenth]

I have my sword, plus several of the elemental swords LILITH offers, as well as the flying boots. I have also gotten the healing nanobots, and am considering getting the ones that strengthen you. At this point, it might be an inevitability for me.

I would be more than glad to learn anything you could teach me. And I of course do not mind helping with weapons training. I think I might start a group class for kendo lessons, since I have a few people interested, and train a few others right now as well.

@curse

[gimu]

lets fight

[the_fourteenth]

Anytime, Choso-san. I'd be honored.

@hearse

[wheft]

...You know, I have had thoughts of picking up a handgun one of these days. Now you just put the idea in my head again.

[the_fourteenth]

Id be more than glad to teach you, if you like. It never hurts to be well rounded.

@gojira

[30storieshigh]

Greetings 👋. I must confess I hold interest in learning of swords, I understand they hold an advantageous place in the triangle of human warfare.

I have been likened by more than one packmate to the kaiju themselves for some reason 🤷‍♂️. Thus battle with myself should provide valuable experience in improving your ability of carrying out our duties. It is what I can offer in return if you find this amiable.

I would only hold back a small amount out of necessity 🤏. I possess an inner fire and though it is diminished, most of you are all very... squishy. I wish to avoid causing "disintegration", I believe it is called.

[the_fourteenth]

That sounds like a reasonable offer to me. I thinking of perhaps doing a group class for kendo, since there are several people interested here, among those I already teach.

[Disintegration? Well now he's really curious as to what this guy can do.]

It seems like there might be a block on LILITH's part to keep us from hurting each other too much. I haven't seen it myself, but I heard it from someone else. I don't know what the threshold is, but I think we'll be okay. I will do my best to not find out how squishy I am.

@nadel

[yormama]

I'm always more than happy to spar if you need a partner, Raidou!

What's your preferred weapon? Is it the sword you carry with you?

[the_fourteenth]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

That's correct. I also have a handgun, but I prefer the sword.

@vessel

[eyescar]

i don't think it's a good idea for me to do anything with handguns but
we can try out all my swords

[the_fourteenth]

Normally I would say it doesn't hurt to be well-rounded, but I think you've got enough skills to well make up for it.

I have several myself now. We can test to see what ones are effective against one another, maybe.

@duelwield

[coordination]

Well-experienced or not, I've always found a stronger opponent who won't hold back only pushes me to catch up faster.

I'll train with you. I don't have any 'abilities' if you're talking magic, but as a Coordinator I can better test your reflexes and foresight, which are just as useful out there.

Simulation-wise, we can bring my Duel Blitz into training.

[the_fourteenth]

That's precisely what I am looking for. I just didn't want anyone to think I was a beginner.

I will be glad to train with anyone willing to give me their time and assistance. There is something I can learn from everyone.

Duel Blitz?

@ambrosia

[picky]

I can help you out, Raidou.
You already know this, but I'm a proficient magic user. Most of my offensive spells are fire-based, though... and explosive
But I can heal you if things go off-course! Does that sound good?

[the_fourteenth]

I would appreciate that. I haven't had any chance to practice versus magic since I arrived here. I've fought many demons of the Pyro class.

It sounds perfect. Thank you, Marcille.
