The man raised an eyebrow with interest. He nodded, as a white t-shirt and black leather jacket formed on his torso–considering the fact that he has burnt his original undershirt right off with all that fire.
"I'm interested," He replied, wondering where this was coming from. Never before had he ever found a sword or gun necessary, or at least not since he'd woken up with no memories. But perhaps it [i]would[/i] be necessary, soon, and his fire and napalm wouldn't be enough.
"So... what's the deal, teacher?" He inquired, smiling at Victoria with the same warmth as his own ability.

[i]Damn, Vic was checking out those abs-[/i] [i]Er, never mind.[/i] "We should start with a rifle first. Or just a melee weapon in general. I'll cover.. a quick explanation of either firearms and melee stuff. Your choice, student."
-
"Uhh... I guess firearms?" The man responded. He felt as though he was already sufficiently proficient in melee combat, but atrociously lacking in the firearm department.
-
[i]There was certainly a cheerfulness to Victoria's face, as she couldn't hold back a grin. Sure, she would have preferred melee weaponry.. but imagining Vance with a reliable firearm, alongside his spectacle of raging flames? She'd imagine him to utilize a heat-based weapon. Maybe one of plasma or energy origin, or a ballistic weapon with heat-based rounds. She didn't understand the creation of firearms too well, but.. the Dojo was capable of the paranormal. She could find something.[/i] [i]For now, she stuck to conjuring an M4 Carbine rifle in the simulation, priming the weapon for Vance before taking aim at a suddenly appearing figurine, blasting five rounds into it's chest before reloading.[/i] "This is a semi-automatic, military-class M4 Carbine, of which holds a magazine of thirty .556 millimeter rounds. It's reliable, and.. dangerous." [i]Flipping on the safety, she approached Vance, before handing him the rifle. From there, she stood behind him, ensuring that the rifle's stock was good against his shoulder, ensuring that his grip was upon the rifle was good.[/i] "...When you're ready, press the safety, right there. Aim down the sights, and find your target..Then, hold down on the trigger until the bullet hits it's target." [i]A target would spawn, ten yards away from the two's position.[/i]
-
The man would indeed take the rifle into his hands, holding it in what he assumed would be the proper way to hold it; left hand on the barrel, right hand on the grip, and stock pressed against his shoulder. He bent his head to look through the scopes at the target. He thought that it would be rather simple; aim, fire. He pulled the trigger once, the recoil surprising him a bit. He readjusted and fired once more, this time ready for the gun's recoil. Both bullets would hit the target, not in its center where the man was aiming, but at least he didn't miss. The man lowered the rifle, looking at the target in awe.
-
[i]I feel as though I should put a "Victoria slightly approves" here.[/i] [i]Though she certainly did approve. As Vance hit the target, she would murmur a quiet[/i] "Good!" [i]as she beamed with a slight smile. It seemed easier than she originally thought.[/i] [i]As the first shot hit, fifteen more targets would form. Victoria was testing Vance's accuracy, if anything.[/i]
-
Vance would immediately aim at the leftmost target, firing off a shot. The bullet struck the target, and he would then train the rifle's sights on the next when. It seemed as though he was focusing on hitting his target rather than shooting them down with speed, as his waiting a good two seconds after his sights had settled before firing again, the bullet hitting its mark. It would continue on like this for about a minute, until all 15 targets had been hit.
-
[i]Indeed, Victoria felt quite better about educating Vance, even training him, in firearms. For some time, maybe an hour or so, they would stick with rifles, before spending thirty minutes on pistols. Victoria would educate Vance on shotguns and other forms of weaponry much later.[/i] "We should set up.. routines. To help you learn your way around a firearm, and to keep you efficient in gun-to-gun combat. Actual training and such. Right now, though.. I've got something to show you, outside of her." [i]With that, Victoria had decided to leave the simulation. She had waited for Vance to leave as well, before leading him throughout the Dojo. From there.. they would enter a building, labeled "Armory".[/i] "I scrounged through here, looking for a way to get non-Dojo civilians to defend themselves. I think you'll enjoy this, though." [i]As she flickered on the lights, Vance and Victoria would find themselves within a warehouse: filled to the brim with weapons, both melee blades and blunt tools to fully-fledged firearms.[/i]
-
The man would look around the armory in awe at all the weaponry, but his expression was one both of awe and confusion. He looked from his cybernetic arm, then to Victoria. "Okay, but what's in here that is any better than the gun from earlier? The M4 Carbine, or whatever." He wasn't really able to distinguish the difference between guns, in all honesty. "Or better than my fire...?" Seeing as they were in an enclosed room, if they were in combat then the man thought it more effective to start a huge fire, either choking his enemies on smoke or burning them alive as the room would heat up.
-
"I've thought about it. And I'll keep thinking.. though I think that you'd enjoy the general idea. At any rate, we should practice your melee. I.. suppose I'm trained with weapon-to-weapon combat, so I can help." [i]From there, Victoria lead Vance to a wide variety of weapons, albeit simple ones. Every weapon imaginable, really.[/i] "We'll be staying away from energy weapons, from now. Even with your.. resistance to heat, I still think energy could burn through you."

Edited by Crrowly: 9/18/2017 9:41:36 PMThe man nodded. He was alright with melee. He walked up to a weapons rack, pulling out a rather simple, lightweight saber; about three feet in length, with a blade of 36 inches. He twirled it in his hand, checking the balance of the curved sword, and finally decided on using that. The man turned back towards Victoria, looking at whatever weapon she'd chosen; probably similar to her power gladius, if anything.
-
[i]Victoria had actually taken to using a longsword, albeit it was still a weapon that she succeeded with - the blade was easily twenty-eight inches long, the entire weapon with the hilt and all being thirty-five inches long. And obviously, she kept her armor off: training/dueling was actually fun, that way.[/i] [i]From there, she would lead Vance to a better spot, where they could properly duel: outside, really. Beside the warehouse would be a seemingly rectangular-shaped area, devoid of weeds and anything that might get in the way.[/i] "A saber is unique. The weapon itself is intended for cleaving and such, though I'd think that you'd enjoy it more if you encased the blade in flame. You can do that, yes?"
-
The man nodded, lifted the saber in front of himself, and aimed the tip diagonally and upwards. It began to glow a bright, flaming green, the glow continuously intensifying until it suddenly exploded, emerald green flames spewing out around the blade. He twirled the blade once more, this time with sparks of green flame and a dark, nearly opaque smoke trailing behind it. Smoke rose from the saber upwards, and the man proceeding to hold the sword in front of himself with both hands, in preparation to begin sparring with Victoria.
-
[i]From there, Victoria did the same, though in a different fashion to the amnesiac's ignition. She pressed her left palm against the base of her blade, where it met the guard. She slid the hand against the flat of the blade, the sword igniting with vibrant green flame.[/i] [i]From there, Victoria spun the blade in her right hand, the fire fading away from the left hand as she began to approach Vance's position. She kept her left foot ahead, while her right foot would stay behind, her posture straight and almost looming. She would begin a simple swing towards Vance: a horizontal slash, though certainly not a slow one.[/i]
-
The man would angle his body very slightly to the left, turning his blade slightly so Victoria's longsword would strike the flat part of the saber's blade. From there, he did a small rotation so that instead of the tip point straight up, it was angled more towards Victoria. Next, the man stepped forward with his right foot–the one closer to Victoria–allowing him to move his sword forward in a thrust aimed at Victoria's torso. It was... effective swordsmanship, as the stance required very minimal movement yet still managed to block the attack and perhaps force Victoria back.
-
[i]Victoria only managed to keep her ground because of a swift maneuver, in something of a reaction towards Vance's counter. Bringing both hands to her longsword's grip, she still had the advantage of moving it. As the saber's blade began to move, Victoria both brought down her sword and Vance's blade, down to her left and Vance's right, whereas she kept her sword angled in a position where Vance would have to pull out the sword (don't you dare make a joke) from the crossguard's block. Indeed, the saber blade was quite literally between Victoria's blade and the crossguard, or in that general location.[/i] [i]Vance did succeed in hitting Victoria's leg, due the thrust that was previously aimed at her torso: now, the tip of his flaming blade was beside the left side of her leg, more specifically her thigh, missing the artery in the leg. Still, a trickle of blood began to seep through the cut, whilst a tensed yet pained expression crossed Victoria's face.[/i] [i]If it was a legitimate fight, and if Victoria considered the individual to be a threat, she would have promptly brought her sword back to her opponent's waist and cut them open, abdomen to collarbone, in with a death grip upon her sword. But this was training with Vance - that would be monstrous to do. Instead, Victoria took to bringing her foot up and slamming it into Vance's stomach, in an attempt to both disorient him and get him to back off.[/i]

Edited by Crrowly: 9/20/2017 11:29:30 AMInstead of standing still and waiting for Victoria to follow up the block like some аutistic teacup, Vance would utilize his above-average agility to slide his right foot diagonally to the right, or Victoria's left. Then, his left foot would follow quickly, actually going behind his right foot. Due to the position of his legs, he was able to perform a spin, whose momentum would literally drag Vance's saber out of whatever mess of words it was in. This maneuver was performed immediately after Vance had seen that Victoria's blade was going to redirect his. Now to Victoria's left and facing the same direction as her, Victoria's kick had completely missed. Vance's right hand was on Victoria's back before her foot could touch the ground once more, and he performed a literal shove forward while she was still off balance. "If this were a real fight," Vance would've had his blade raised and at his opponent's throat as he performed that spin, not severing their head but causing great damage to their neck. But indeed, it was not a real fight, so fuсk off with the dick measuring -.-
-
[i]Since it is diсk measuring, since you decide to ignore literally everything in my reply..[/i] [i]Victoria spun her body around before the push, to where her left arm wrapped around Vance's, twisting his in a brutal fashion whilst her blade shot up towards his head. The twist was painful to her, but it didn't matter. She placed the sword against his shoulder, staring at Vance before dropping it down.[/i] [i]She wouldn't kill him. Y'know, cause it wasn't a real fight （＾ν＾）[/i]
