Wind Fist[Solo]

[Andresciel]

Andresciel's cloaked form made little noise as he walked along the hallway towards the training room. His hood was down, allowing all to see his onyx black hair, kept short. His sapphire blue eyes would glance about as he passed squires and knights that he did not know.

Since the Reimancer rarely spoke, few said anything to him as they passed. Most gave little more then a nod to greet and acknowledge him. He would return the greetings of his brothers and sisters, but did not once stop to talk.

His six foot two form was built lean, quick and light, weighing only two hundred and twenty one pounds. His swift body, and quick mind made up for the lack of bulk and muscle. He used his speed and intelligence to fight, rather then just muscle.

As he entered the training room, he stopped to unbuckle his cloak, his eyes taking time to glance about, taking in the area as he always did.

[Andresciel]

The room was large, like all the training rooms used by the Knights of Syliras. A weapon rack set along the far wall, lined with the heavy weaponry of the melee Knights. Wooden, and Iron swords of every type, various pole arms, like spears and staves. Axes of all sizes and shapes.

Next to the first rack, smaller, and filled with lighter weaponry was the Mage Knights normal selection. Various types of daggers, short swords, and gauntlets.

Dotting the open floor in the middle of the room were the wooden training dummies. Some would hold a weapon, or a shield, and could swing to simulate and attack.

Andre already had his dummy picked, sliding his cloak from his form and onto a peg near the door. His lean form was clad in the black tunic with his Full Knight Isginia, a single sword, clipped to his right collar. His shirt was tucked into his pants, belted at the waist with a small pouch on one side that held his Gylphing paint, and a pair of folded gauntlets, Andre's personal set.

Kneeling, he tucked the legs of his pants into his black boots, making sure they weren't too tight, or too loose. He needed the proper measure to train. As he stood, he dipped a finger into the glyph paint on his hip, bringing the finger up and tracing the curves of a Glyph onto his left arm, then on his right. He let a bit of Djed flow into the Glyphs, before he drew on his gauntlets. He flexed his hand, until the gauntlets fit perfectly.

Andre moved to his dummy, standing before the wooden practice dummy. He spread his legs, centering his balance as his arms came up level with his chest, fists closing.

His right fist snapped forward, knuckles slamming into the dummy's chest with a resounding crack. He felt the dummy wobble, even as he turned, spinning to the left to deliver a back handed blow across the Dummy's jaw.

He stepped back, returning to his neutral pose, feet spread, his arms even.

He stepped forward, planting his left foot, twisting towards the right. He spun, right leg coming up to strike the dummy's shoulder, the heel of his boot making a loud crack sound.

His mind focused on the task, azure eyes locked on the dummy, before him. He brought his right foot back down, settling his weight on it as he brought his left leg up. He bent his knee before kicking outwards, throwing a straight kick, the bottom of his boot striking solid against the things stomach,

He turned to his right, left foot lashing out three times. His boot struck the dummy's head first, creating a resounding crack. The second was a kick to the chest, boot planted hard, as if to break bones. The last kick was meant to drive air from the opponent, slamming the boot in the dummy's stomach

[Andresciel]

He brought his foot back down, settling his weight as he moved back a step, facing his target. He stepped forward with his left foot, settling it as he threw his right leg straight upwards. The toe of his boot struck the underside of the wooden dummy's chin, before he brought it back down.

He stepped back then, closing his eyes as he relaxed. He called to his Reimancy, focusing on the wind. His glyphs glowed sky blue as the wind began to circle around his arms, and fists.

He opens his eyes, the flicker of Djed lighting his sapphire hues. He brought the wind encased fists up, throwing a jab with his left hand. The power of the wind reimancy increased the force and speed behind the blow, giving it the force to break most things jaw as it struck square in the chin.

He stepped to the side, circling around it. His right hand fist swung to the left, snapping up and into the dummy's ribs, the wind powered blow causing a loud crack to resonate through the room.

[Andresciel]

He moved around behind the dummy then, his right hand opening and thrusting forward. He slammed his palm into the dummy's back, along the spinal area, feeling his palm strike the wooden surface.

Already, he plotted his next move. Left hand thrusting forward, wind enhanced iron gauntlets striking the shoulder. His right arm immediately followed up, slamming his fist into the other shoulder, with the same force.

He jumped back, landing and settling before he rushed forward, right fist drawn back. He closed his left hand as he entered striking distance, right hand swinging around in a swift right hook to the dummy's wooden jaw.

His left hand was instantly moving after, swinging upwards from below, iron knuckles slamming into the Dummy. The uppercut caught it under the chin, full force.

He swept his right foot low, as if to kick the feet from under the dummy. He acted as if it was falling, left fist shooting forward to slam into its chest, wind reimancy pulsing outwards in a repulsion designed to throw an opponent back.

Stepping back, he planned his next combo.

[Andresciel]

He was in motion the instant his plan was formulated. He started with a simple left jaw, fist hitting the wooden chin straight on. He felt the blow, even through the leather padding inside his iron gauntlets. His right hand did a follow up, swinging around and catching the dummy in the jaw, using the wind to give the blow have a chance of stunning the opponent.

He took a step back, swinging to his left, right foot coming u, his knee bending. His right leg lashed out, boot slamming squarely in the chest of the dummy. He would drop his foot, spinning as he planted the right foot, his left coming up to deliver a round house kick to the dummy's ribs.

His left foot fell, and pushed him forward, his right hand shooting out. His fist struck the dummy's throat, full force, even as his left hand swept out, slamming first into the stomach before shooting upwards to slam into the dummy's chin.

With breath heavy, and his Djed released, Andresciel turned from the dummy and moved back to his things, lifting his cloak up and throwing it around his shoulders. He buckled it before drawing his hood up, hiding his face once more. He silently left the training room, moving out to get his horse for Riding.
