Thread: Things to do...

Unfortunately for the two of them Lox had his breakfast and was quite awake when he walked up behind them soon enough to hear the end of their conversation, the only hint of his arrival being the nymph dipping lower in the water and making bubbles as she exhaled looking shyly behind the two. He didn't give them the time to actually greet or even turn around as he placed a hand into the small of their backs to let them feel just how much mana was starting to build up against them. Tell me girls.... How does me getting along with other males have anything to do with your combat training today hmmm? Without waiting for a reply, Lox released the mana he had built up to catapult them both spinning through the air towards an open field within his walls with a slight smirk as he floated along to watch their flailing decent towards the field. Today you'll be working on your survival and aggression Mayu, considering you don't have any combat experience you need to learn that you MUST act in your defense to get rid of that pesky freezing you sometimes do. And as for you puppy, Your going to be doing the same since you haven't really fought against anyone wielding magic before. He was glad at least Mayu had the mind to make her self float before she turned herself into a smear on the ground, and it did please him to see the hell hound land with a heavy thud on all four limbs growling viciously at him as he approached. Oh my... a spunky puppy! I wonder if you'll manage bite me... Mayu, defend yourself to the best of your ability for the time being and by all the gods if you don't at least try it's going to be that much more painful for you. There was no warning when he teleported, and none when he struck Lunia full in the jaw with a closed fist or when a crack of lightning snapped from his free hand at Mayu. Lox hadn't been aiming at her and only managed to burn the top left shoulder of her dress before teleporting again to kick the legs out from under her. The next few minuets were nothing short of brutal hand to hand combat between him and Lunia, but while the hell hound was used to such hard combat Lox couldn't openly beat Mayu in the same way until she at least learned to fight back. There were times when he was nearly cooked by the young woman and his left hand had gotten bitten by Lunia when he wasn't paying attention but for the most part Lunia was being thrashed and every time Mayu attempted to cast Lox would be there to shove her in the back, kick the legs out from under her, or snatch her by the ankles to toss her across the lawn. Usually Lox would simply fight one of the many creatures inhabiting his gardens for his morning exercise but now that he had pupils there wasn't any point in finding partners. Is that all you've got you bad puppy? Lox scolded Lunia as he appeared behind her and fondled the top of her head, nearly losing a few fingers and just avoiding a swift kick to his crotch. Mayu was running quite low on mana by this time, and for her most current attack Lox got around the hell hound's defense and simply threw her into the mage to send the two of them tumbling and sprawled in a heap. Looking up at the sun Lox noticed it was close to lunch and decided to give his two pupils a chance to breath.
