02; be the teacher

Characters: Sis and people of Conquest!
Format: I'm starting in prose. But people may reply in whatever format, and I'll follow that!
This log is: Open to everyone who wants to be taught!
Location: Some classroom, sdkjfklsf.
Summary: Where Sis tries to teach young children in Conquest (yes, even you) how to use a Katana, and defend yourself properly. This is also her first time holding a class.
Warnings: Cussing to be had. A LOT OF IT.

Good Monday class. Your teacher is a smidge late. Due to the fact that she was just informed that she would teaching a class. What was all the crock full of shit about teaching a class about self defense and use of a Katana? Well, no specifics were given so she guesses on top of being a Player this round she has to play the part of Teacher as well. She strides in, and she's sure she's getting looks; because, what female teaches a self defense class?

She spends most of the time using students to help her demonstrate proper tactic. She's sure to have at least one person in her class that already knew these things. She would be glad for that if she ever had to miss her own class. If the class will notice how untalkative their teacher is. "To conclude todays lessons, I will ask each one of you to work on your tactic. I will put you in pairs next time to show me you have practiced your movements."

"Class still has another thirty minutes. Would anyone like a second demonstration, or have a question?"

Suzaku remained quiet throughout the class, practicing each movement as it was taught. He had learnt most of this off Toudoh when he was a child, but refreshing the basics never hurt.

He waited until the end of class before approaching the teacher and waiting silently for her to notice him.

She wasn't really wanting to talk to students. But if she had to, well then she guessed she had to. Putting her sword against the wall, she turned her attention to the student.

She tipped her head down, and lowered her shades. "What do you need?"

"I was wondering," he began formally with a polite nod, "If you wish to practice outside of class, though I do not mind reviewing the basics, I learnt as a child. I am out of practice though," and he had lost fights because of it, "I would appreciate a training partner."

"I would be glad to assist you." Sis was a lady of very many words, it wasn't like she needed to say much more right? "I should be in your PDA under Sis Strider. Contact me if you wish to practice."

She raised a brow. "You did exceptionally well anyhow, if you wish to tutor outside of my classroom, I will permit it."

"Thank you." Suzaku nodded, he didn't tend to say much either. He nodded in thanks at her final comment. "Thank you, I might... some of them will need a lot of help."

"Swordsmanship is not an easy thing to take up, I must say I am impressed with the progress so far." Yeah, even though she has no intention of really teacher more than this.

"How are you with different kinds of swords?" Sis has a truckton of them. She might just need to look in a fridge.

He looked around and nodded, "For a first lesson they did well." He pauses at the question, "I have some training with a Britannian longsword, not so much as in the Katana though."

"Britannian?" She had never heard of quite a marvelous sounding location. She assumed this was a location anyways, the name of the sword really said it all.

"It's very similar I assume?"

"It is an Empire in my world." He looked grim but nodded, "It has no curve and is a little larger than a Katana, but it is similar."

"Perhaps someday you could educate me on your Empire?" Sis didn't mind learning a thing or two about her students. It would only be appropriate. Learn who they are, learn their fighting style, learn how to teach them.

Strategies are the best.

Suzaku nodded, "I would be happy to, and interested in hearing about your world as well." Though teaching her about the empire he was trying to disband would be a little strange.

Kotaro's mouth dropped open when he realised what he was going to learn. Swords! So he could be a hero like his brother!

Being a hero though, it seemed was hard when the swords were taller than you were. He struggled to life it never mind do any of the movements!

Sis realized at the end of class she may need to find a solution for the smaller students. Perhaps wooden swords for them? Everyone else could deal with the live steel however.

"Are you having trouble?"

"No." Usually Kotaro had no trouble admitting he was having trouble or asking for help. But he wanted to do this right, so his brother would be proud of him when he finally came to rescue him.

He tried the movement again and promptly fell over, the sword falling to the ground with a clatter.

"It is okay to need help." She picked the sword up. Who gives a child a full sized sword anyways? Wasn't that like against the law or something?

Kotaro looked up at her sheepishly, "I think I need to grow a bit!" Maybe he could try stretching, that way he might get big enough to use the sword properly.

"I will find you something smaller before my class meets again." Which was going to be tomorrow. She could pull that off. "In the meantime. I suggest you practice your defense."

"Thank you and I will try hard to grow!" He smiled, "I will practice really hard!"

"You may be dismissed, or you may stay after for extra help. Whatever suits you." Sis didn't want to seem rude or anything of the sort, but she was unsure if teaching a class was really something she wanted to do.

"Can I stay? I want to learn more!" He smiled, he was enjoying this lesson, it was much better than the boring ones where he had to sit still for ages.

Sis glanced at the time. "Perhaps next time? I realized I have somewhere to be. I am quite sorry."

"Oh okay! See you next class miss!" He skipped away to the door and waved.

I have a question, teacher! [ Karkat raises his hand. ] WHY DO YOU SUCK?

[Oh boy it's that douchebag. Sis points her sword, right in Karkat's face. Oops, is she threatening a student? No way. Never. We don't tell administration about this shit.]

I don't know. Why do you keep talking?!

You can't point that at me, that's fucking abuse.

As long as the world is full of stupid people, my mouth will be running like a combine tractor 24/7, lady. As it happens, this lecture is very stupid! I get the shit, you get the lip.

[WHOOPS THAT MAKES HER POINT MORE!]

Then shut the fuck up and get back to your work. [She could be poking the end of his nose with the sword. Not enough to cut however.]

You're doing more showing off than teaching, teacher.

Then tell me, student.

[skldjfklsdf you done pissed her off.]

What do you want me to do?

Although meek looking, Yuki knew a bit about self defense, it helps to know some when you grow up in your father's dojo and your weapon is literally a Katana. While she is apprehensive to begin, she hasn't really used any of her knowledge for a long time, when she does she's pretty good at it. Her rustiness may show a bit though.

Sis doesn't seem to notice Yuki having any real problems. Not using a sword for an amount of time is one thing; however, not using a sword at all is another. After several interruptions from the loudmouthed student, she comes to Yuki. Approving silently of the form given.

"As I told another student in this class. You may contact me under Sis Strider in your PDA for practice, and are permitted to tutor others." Sis hadn't planned on saying much else, but there was no harm in sticking around a moment to see if Yuki had any further questions.

Yuki looks up at her, startled at the whole tutoring thing. She was used to tutoring of course, she helped many people with their school work back home (she's pretty sure she taught Sora more English than the teacher did), but to teach someone else how to use a Katana would be completely different. She wondered if her father would be proud of her.

"Me? Tutor? Are you sure?"

Yes, this was a different kind of tutoring however. More hands on then hands in books if you will. Sis had no text for her class, no handouts. Tests were purely demonstration of technique; and, that was if she decided to even give tests and not just handwave everyone in the classroom.

"I am sure. I wish for me not to be the only teacher in this classroom. There are others like yourself who would make wonderful teachers, if you had only been the age limit. Am I correct?"

She looks shyly at the sword, "I don't think I would have been teaching sword fighting, probably something more academic, or first aid."

"You're helping me, how about that?" She would really need all the help she could get. Sure, Sis was a hella fucking great teacher. But, it was just too awkward to be forced into a classroom with twenty students you had no idea about.

"Without the help of yourself, and Kururugi, perhaps In wouldn't be the one teaching this class."
