Ziare looked around the room and she had met Ezra and knew Jyo. She beamed when Jyo walked over to her to be her partner. It wasn't that she would not want to fight anyone else in fact she would like that very much later but today it was nice that Jyo would be her partner. He would probably be more udnerstanding of the deficiancies in her knowledge.
She didn't hug him or anything when he came up to her this was class and she didn't want the other students thinking they were going to go easy on each other becuase they knew and dated each other.
She smiled at him and nodded.
"Partner, prepare yourself." she said in a joking manner holding up her hand in mock strike, and giggling.

- I was late, so very f**king late. My legs pumped harder and harder as I streaked through the halls to get to the 'classroom'. I was a white bullet. I needed to get there, my eyes watered as I ran hard. My golden gloved hands glimmered in the light as my arms swung, the white sleeves rustling with the currents flowing against my body. I turned the corner and stopped suddenly as I reached the door to outside., sliding to a standstill I finally realised I had forgotten my bag...too late now.
* f**king stupid, ignorant little f**khead...why the f**k did I have to do all that nuts last night! I dont even remember half of it...god!! *
- I opened the door slowly and strode towards my class, ignoring any looks I got, I walked slowly towards the area and sat down. I did not care and I blocked out any noise or words that were said to me. I needed two minutes to compose my self before I began listening to others. I began to relax my breathing as I ran my left hand up to greacefully flick the loose strands of hair back in to place. I was now composed enough to listen to mindless drabble.

Cr*p. Ezra was caught off guard by someobdy who actually noticed him. And now, he was absolutely screwed. After all, he had to fight if he was noticed in the class. If he had known he was going to have to do that, he wouldn't have taken the class. Now he hd to decide what to do about the girl who was suddenly interested in seeing his fighting skills, or rather lack thereof.
It'd be best to decline and let her fight the late kid or something.
"S-sorry. . . But I don't want to fight you, okay?" He didn't even really look at her, he just tried to keep under the teacher's radar and hope that he could just be invisible or something.

Talbot looked him dead in the eye, "You do realize you'll have to fight eventually- who knows you may have done well- but since you're so scared I suppose I'll find someone else to go easy on today."
She looked away, "Too bad," she sighed and went back to her seat and sat on the desktop. She looked up at the cealing and crossed her arms.

She had walked away and basically called him chicken, but then again, he didn't care, so long as he escaped having to fight. From what he could see, there was still the kid who came in late, her, and himself. And he certainly wasn't looking for the fight.
Besides, he knew how it was when people went easy. They seemed like they might lose, then they pulled the one-eighty and kicked some face in. A fight like that wasn't a fight, it was a calculated slaughter.

Jyo led Ziare to the training area and from in his coat drew two wooden swords crafted to be similar in design to his own weapon. He handed one to Ziare and then stepped back sliding his own sword into his sheath and taking a reverse crouch stance while keeping his left hand on the handle of the wood blade.
"I don't have many spells I can use in a fight that wouldn't be fatal. So we can use these. Now do you have any combat experiance at all yet?' He asked wondering if he would be virtually teaching her or if she had abilities with combat she could apply here.

The practice sword felt odd in Ziare's hands. Sure she had mock fought her brothers on the farm when they were doing chores for fun. She smiled and Jyo and took a stance similar to his own.
"Well not technically. I play fought with my brothers from time to time with farm tools but never a real fight." she admited. "I know I won't be as good as you a trained fighter. So is magic not allowed during this sparring?" she wondered because her summons could protect her.

"Not sure if it is or not. but if the instructor says to use it we can. As for the weapon. it isn't hard to get used to it with some help. And I'll do so." He said.
He went into a defensive position in a reverse crouch.
"The first thing to do is get the feel of it's balance. Just give it a few swings. Nothing wild just get a fell for it. Then you an attack a few times. I'll tell you a bit more as we go along with this." he said.

Talbot sighed heavily, getting up from her desktop she passed by Marshall, touching his shoulder lightly- having been rejected by Ezra maybe this boy would participate. Otherwise she would be left alone or someone would be assigned.
Talbot picked up a staff, the closest thing there to her scythe and stood off to the side, warming up and adjusting to the staffs weight by going through her usual ritual of dancing and swaying. Swinging the weapon left and right, up and down, making small and large 'z' formation. She hummed as she swayed about- nothing better to do than wait.

Ziare swung the practice sword to and fro getting a feel for the balance of the blade. It was a lot different than play fighting than farm tools in the sense that the weight was balanced where as the weight of a farm tool is one sided.
"All right." she said with a cruel 'I'm gonna get you smile'. "Let's give it a shot."
She took her stance and held the sword in front of her ready to move against Jyo or to try to block his attack. She knew she was about to get her butt kicked but at least it was Jyo doing it that made it all the more fun.

Jyo dashed as fast as possible. He drew and swung the sword at her waist. but he barly put any force into the blow. Even if it hit her full on. The likely hood of it harming here was little to none. jyo had much control over the blade. During the actual swing he had also slowed down. the high speed was only for the dash to close the distance between them.

Ziare turned putting her sword in the way blocking Jyo from hitting her but when his sword hit hers she wasn't holding it with enough strength and her own sword hit her in the waist. She grimaced a little it didn't really hurt it was just she felt stupid having been hit with her own sword.
"Sorry." she said. "Try again?"

Jyo's eyebrows raised.
"Sorry what for? That was a good block. I hit it a bit hard for you to hold against it. But the block itself was very good." He said genuinly impressed.
"But yes let's try again." He said settling back into the sheathed blade reversed crouch stance.
"This time give a shot at an attack. rememeber. The most common mistake is to either overswing or aim for the blade. Aim for me." He said.

Ziare readied herself again and nodded at Jyo's request. She walked forward keeping her eyes on his but inside she was summoning...not Armenius she summoned Noxanna. She did not need to hold her palm out anymore to summon the came on their own. Noxanna appeared flying next to Ziare. Ziare told her what to do.
Noxanna flew around Jyo like a bee hovering around him. Suddenly a rain of light sparks fell from above him..a paralyzing spell. At that moment Ziare struck out aiming for his shoulder hoping to disarm him. If the spell worked he would be stuck in place til Noxanna released it.
