Conner blinked the sweat from his eyes as he held the Shinai before him in a raised position. With a slight movement to his right he brought the bamboo practice sword around and in again before bringing it out straight to the opposite side. He turned on the spot and began the string of 28 movements again for what was maybe the fifteenth time in the last hour. There had been one or two people present working out in their own way when Conner had entered. His gear had seemed stupid and instead he had opted to forego the majority of equipment and simply stayed in his Kendo Gi and blue Hakama. He was a confident person normally so the first few minutes as he found a space and started he had expected a few glances to establish what he was doing, it didn’t bother him. Now he wouldn’t have noticed so focused was he in his movements and the never ending circle of them from one to 28 then back to one. It needed to be fluid, continuous.

Suddenly, there was quick movement beside him, shifted forward and something connected with his practice sword. It was an intentional connection, but not a thrusting hit that would knock him off balance. A moment later, the figure spun off to the side and stood holding a standard bō that with the person’s height, was carried easily.

Conner blinked. Instinct more than anything causing him to slide into a defensive pose and move to face the opponent his sword in front. He frowned slightly at the sight before him.

Dressed in black form-fitting workout gear, the captain’s face was impassive but her pale amber eyes held a smile. And a challenge.

Of all potential assailants, opponents, random beams falling from the roof perhaps, this was not what he expected to find. He raised one eyebrow at the captain and read her expression. oh well… he thought after a heartbeat or two had passed and shifting from traditional to more free style he slid forwards and brought the Shinai around towards her head.

Koraia deflected the impeding blow with an easy spin, turning all the while into a crouch and sweeping her staff parallel to the ground towards his legs.

Conner jumped and used the momentum to swing his next blow towards her ribs. He was at a disadvantage in terms of reach compared to the Bo.
