The Art of Battle Games - Tuesday, Third Period [07/27].
Well. It was nice while it lasted, but it appeared as though there was no getting around it this week. Shunsui would...actually have to teach this class. So he was all sighs and waffling while he went to go get the danger shop all set up for the lesson, although he managed to put up a good face when it actually came time to do the thing.
"And welcome," he announced, with a small oomph to it, although that underlying feeling of just simply not wanting to be there and thinking this was all a bit ridiculous was not hiding in it very well, but he smiled all the same, "to our very first actual Battle Game ♥. Through the weeks, you may have picked up the fact that this is designed to turn what might otherwise be considered childrens games played on a playground into a battle tactic and a fighting strategy. Some of these are more evident than others. This week's is a very simple one. This week, we will be playing Takaoni ♥."
Shunsui gave a gesture to the set-up, which involved a rather small, somewhat cramped space. At the center of the room where he stood, there was a table with a variety of weapons on it and, all around them, there were various platforms, ramps, ropes, and poles set all along the way up for a good distance, an amalgamation of a parkour course meeting a rock climbing wall with the full intention of making things a bit difficult for most people.
"Takaoni," Shunsui explained further, "means 'Mountain Demon', and is basically a game of King of the Hill. Whoever has the highest ground wins. The stakes aren't quite as high as they are when I usually play this game," he gave an odd smile at that, "but it's simple enough."
With that, he drew his twin swords, with one evenly matched twirl of them just as much for show as for adjusting his grip on the hilts, and gave them a nod. "I'll see you on the top ♥."
And because he was loathed to put too much effort into any of this, it took Shunsui two inhumanly high leaps to bounce from one platform, to a second, then to the very top to wait for the others to fight their way up to join him, trying to gauge if their skills were all human enough that he could probably squeeze in a good nap before he had to contest with any of them when they got there.
Well, maybe not a nap. But, at the very least, a drink.
