[b]Royal easily dodges the attacks, moving backwards [/b]
"Whose sword?"

-
"Uh... my dad's. It's called 'Thundering Skies' or somethin'."[spoiler]Did you read his bio...?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah [/spoiler] "Interesting."
-
[b]He readies his sword again, and charges. Everything about him was wrong–his stance, the way he gripped his sword.[/b]
-
"Eli, just stop while you're ahead please."
-
[b]He stops, blinking.[/b] "W-what? I thought we were fighting." [b]He looks confused.[/b]
-
"That's the deal. You can't exactly fight." [b]Royal circles you [/b] "You're swing is wrong. Your stance. Your grip."
-
"I...." [b]He starts randomly adjusting his grip and stance.[/b] "This better?" [b]It's still wrong.[/b]
-
[b]Roy sighs [/b] "Tell you what. I'm going to give you access to the Dojo. And I'll get someone to train you."
-
[b]He smiles.[/b] "Really!?"
-
"Yes really. Ever heard of the Dight?"
-
[b]He shakes his head.[/b] "I grew up on a farm. I haven't heard of [i]anything[/i], really."
-
[b]Royal nods.[/b] "Just come inside."
-
"Alright." [b]He begins heading towards the dojo entrance.[/b]
-
[b]The gates open as Royal awaits in the Courtyard [/b]
-
[spoiler]Royal awaits in the courtyard? Teleportation bullsh*t....[/spoiler] [b]Eli walks in, looking around.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Shadow powers. Did you forget?[/spoiler] "Over here."
-
[spoiler]Bullsh*t, bullsh*t, and BULLSH*T[/spoiler] [b]He jogs over.[/b]
-
"Get in your stance."
-
[b]He does so.[/b]
-
[b]Epic three hour time skip [/b]
-
[b]Three hours later, and he had not improved by much. His stance and grip were correct now, but his coordination and battle instinct were still all wrong.[/b]
-
"You're getting better."
-
"A little...." [b]He looks disappointed with himself as the sun sets.[/b]
-
"Much to learn. Go home. You'll continue tomorrow."
-
[b]He nods, but doesn't move.[/b]
