One by one the students would be dropping by on their nicely simulated dojo, only to find Faith already there, stretching. Well, at least it was better than to be greeted by a completely uninterested glance. This time as well she kept it quiet until the time for her class actually started as well. Being as unresourceful as she was with words, she wasn't about to misuse the few ones she had prepared beforehand. Still, each student would get a small nod as a greeting, and then ordered to sit quietly on the tatami -no chairs this time, but the padded floor was pretty comfortable-, or to stretch as well; as long as they remained silent, it was fine for her.

Once the time for the class to start actually arrived, she got the group sitting in the tatami, and cleared her throat.

"And now it's time for class number two; I expect you have been training all this time."

She didn't, actually, but it was fun to make them feel guilty.

"Last time we got into the basics, and saw our first kata; hard isn't it? At least for those without experience, the approach was probably a pain in the ass." Faith smirked. "That was the idea; that kata isn't the first or the easier that there is; actually, it's a pretty long one, considering most katas last less than a minute." Oh Faith, you were such a bad, bad person. "Anyway, this second class was thought to be focused entirely on learning a new kata, but come on, you didn't sign into this class to do the same stuff all the time. So, while we will be seeing another kata indeed, and I promise this one will be far more accessible, I'll also test your overall fighting skills; one by one I'll be having a one-on-one with you." Malicious smiles ensued here as Faith walked around the group. "This won't be a real fight, and I'll be letting you land some attacks on me, actually, but this will serve for me to be able to point your weak spots, so you can keep them in mind if you ever need to defend yourselves."

Technically they'd never hunted vampires, and in fact had kept as far away from them as they could. Her dad never wanted a vamp to find out that Dru existed because that would have been bad bad news.

Dru'd been watching Faith's movements and had tried to duck out. Tried being the operative word. She stumbled back a few steps before finding her balance again. "I'm unarmed and you've got slayer speed and strength working for you. This is the part where my dad would have said get the hell out of Dodge and fight another day."

Not that Dru was going to do that. It sort of defeated the purpose of the class after all.

Faith wasn't particularly good with technicalities.

Her tongue was already sticking out at her. "He sounds like a smart guy. I wanted to see your reaction, and apparently you can pick your fights...maybe. Say, how would you take me down? And don't say with a gun."

"With a knife," Dru offered. "Cause seriously, I'm not going to go against something that's stronger and faster then me without a weapon." At least for the moment Faith was faster and stronger. That could change if what Christophe said was true, but Dru wasn't about to bring that up to Faith. At least not until she had a better idea on her feelings on damphirs.

"But, say you did manage to disarm me and I had nothing but myself," she said. "I'd have to get in close and try and do damage. A strike to the nose, the kidneys, your throat, or I could play dirty and claw at your eyes."

Faith waited until she finished. "That's what I'm talking about; if your enemy holds superiority in several areas, play dirty. It might not be honorable and shit, but it will keep you breathing."

"That's pretty much what my dad said," she nodded. "I'm too small to do well in a straight up fight. I need to fight dirty."
