Building a Better Fighter [Week 5, Period 5]; Thursday 06/14

Once the students were all in the Danger Shop, Yachiru burst forward into the room. The students would be aware of her approach well before she came in; in her arms, training behind her, practically wrapped all around her, were ribbons, lined with little round bells and she seemed very happy to have them, laughing and circling them excitedly, tossing to some of the students their own ribbon of bells. The others, she handed strips of cloth that looked like blindfolds. There were more than enough, so she had spares, and kept circling them and ringing them and giggling.

Until Kenpachi stepped in. Soundlessly. Even if the sounds of Yachiru's bells hadn't covered up everything else, you wouldn't have heard him. Yachiru stopped abruptly. As Kenpachi turned to face the students, there was only a faint tinkling left. It was hard to tell if it was just the echo of the ones Yachiru held, or the slight sound of the ones tied at the end of the spikes in his hair.



"Slight deviation from the syllabus today, students," Kenpachi said. "What you have in your hands, if you couldn't tell already, are bells. Also, if you haven't noticed already, I wear these bells in my hair. I would hope none of you assume that I do it for aesthetic purposes. I wear these bells to challenge me more in a fight. With these bells, my enemies hear me coming. That way, I don't kill them too soon and lose all my fun."

He offered them all a pleased, psychotic grin. "Now. What we are doing today is simple. Potentially dangerous. That...is what will make it fun."

"Half of you have bells. You will wear them on your persons in any way, so long as, if you move normally, the bells will chime. The other half of you will wear the blindfolds. Yachiru has already distributed these accordingly, but, in case any of you are confused, I will list off who should have what:"

"Bells: Teddy, Andros, Alphonse, Molly, Qui-Gon, Michaelangelo, Peter, Dawn, Aravis."

"Blindfolds: Alec, Bridge, Haku, Gwynn, Ami, Adam, Buffy, Abigail, Vi."

"Those of you with bells will try to attack. No weapons, please. Those of you with blindfolds will be attacked. I would like to think that this needs no further explanation but, just in face, those with the bells want to try not to be heard to better attack. Those with the blindfold want to try to hear them to better defend. This excersize with hopefully help you be either more graceful or more aware. If you'd like, feel free to switch positions as well, and try both options if you have the time."



"I'll be around, as always, for questions or critiques, should you want them. Possibly if you don't."

[[ OCD on the way is here! Sorry things didn't pan out as on the syllabus. I'm a procrastinator and suck. woe. Please let me know if I was stupid and forgot someone on the list. it happens. ]]
