Signature Moves and You! [Class for those interested]

[Suzuki Setsu]

Mochizuki Tama had stolen, repurposed if you will, one of the academy's mobile blackboards and a table. Moving them out to the obstacle course, she had flamboyantly scribbled upon it, 'Signature Moves and You.' And grumbling slightly to herself she wrote beneath it, in smaller letters, 'and maybe a discussion on elements, weapons, etc.'

But the question remained, why was Mochizuki Tama, a kunoichi known for her avoidance of anything that wasn't potentially interesting or entertaining, teaching a class in the first place. The answer would be found a few weeks prior, shortly after Tama was deemed fully recovered from her duel with Arashi. She had found herself unable to use much of her original fighting ability due to the injuries she had sustained, and had gone to her elder sister Kimiki for help. Of course her help wasn't free, and in exchange for teaching Tama, Tama was forced to take care of all Kimiki's responsibilities. One of which was teaching a class at the academy.

The sign on the academy bulletin board indicated that the class would be held outside due to the insurance policy on the building not covering 'acts of Tama,' and that in the case of rain, the class would still be outside. Because the academy staff were not letting the chuunin anywhere near the building, period. Which was why she had to forcefully borrow the table and blackboard. Luckily, the sky was only partly cloudy, so rain wouldn't be an issue. Before the students arrived, she moved several enormous boulders around where she would be teaching, along with smaller ones. She carefully pre-cracked the enormous ones, because there was no reason to expect academy students to be able to shatter rocks of that size and density quite yet. But still, it would be interesting to see their faces when their efforts resulted in destruction of that magnitude. A good confidence booster, she reasoned. To the untrained eye, the rocks would not appear to be tampered with, Tama was confident in her prop-making skills after all.

Her preparations made, Tama sat cross-legged on the table, and waited for the students.

[Sato Noa]

Noa beamed with positivity as today was his first academy session and his first opportunity to prove his worth. He had sprang from the bed hours in advance to ensure that his appearance was prompt and timely, and to allow him time to explore. His wandering about the village of Kumogakure had become almost habitual and he couldn't resist observing the strangers he had sworn to one day protect. It warmed him to think that with every moment he spent amidst them that things became more familiar, people became more familiar and more understandable. His interactions here were a far cry from the stern, belligerent expressions his former teacher were so fond of.

The sky gave way to a few clouds and the sun blanketed the surrounding area in it's comforting warmth and glow. Today would be a good day, and a great lesson he was sure of it. His stroll came to an end at a clearing that hosted what he only reasoned was an obstacle course and an array of varying sized boulders that he couldn't help but ponder there purpose. Before him sat upon a table was his instructor a woman of which his knowledge in it's entirety was limited to a simple laugh and "Good luck!" from an individual tasked with briefing him.

A visage that conveyed curiosity and transitioned to his usual, pearly white smile complete with a set of imposing fangs. Noa's hood, which rested in it's usual perch atop his head and horns, was then removed as he waved while continuing to walk until he stood before her, "I am Noa! Where do I begin?"

 

[Kashino Yuu]

It was time again for Yuu to attend the Academy once again and to his luck, he managed to find another class to his curiosity. However for some strange reason, the class was taken outside and although he didn't questioned during the summoning class due to it's right theme, he wondered why it was taken to the obstacle course instead of taking this class in the dojo. Regardless, he was near from where he arrived after his lunch and with his urge for learning more about being a ninja, he rushed onto another student's side and shouted, "I'm here! Sorry if I'm late!"

For some reason, he shouted at the same time as the new student he never seen before. While he was curious because of his fang-like teeth, he was surprised about his energetic mood for this class. "Hi there, Noa right?"

 

[Ryu Hime]

When Ittai was an academy student she quickly took the classes she needed and immediately went for the exam. When she failed the exam she took several more classes and tried again, however the class she took were all about the medical field. It is now as a mednin it training that she realizes she has made a grave error by focusing her lessons on a single subject. True doing so has allowed her to learn many of the medical arts but at what costs. She knows very little about nninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu.

Stuffing her headband into the pocket of her overalls she rides over to the academy building. Due to her young age she should be able to blend in with the other students. Hopefully none of the teachers will recognize her. She never met this Tama that was teaching so she should be reasonably safe in this class. As Ittai approaches the place where the class is to be held her steed quickly switches from a gallop to a trot. Kira, her equine companion just wanted to get this over with. This has not happy with Ittai for she made her leave behind her precious hoodie she always where. Kira despite being an animal covered in fur feels naked without it. Of coarse the reason for Kira's suffering has to do with Ittai being recognized; someone might not recall her but talk of a creature wearing cloths is likely to go around. "Greeting is this the class of Mochizuki Tama?"

 

[Shizu Kai]

Kai strolled through the academy halls past the academy bulletin board and stopped to check it. Since he had been eagerly waiting for another class, he was excited to see a notice and quickly noted the location before heading out to attend it. Acts of Tama? He had no idea what that entailed but he would possibly find that out soon. He chuckled at it for a second before he took the last bite from an apple that he had saved for a snack for later in case. He threw the apple in a nearby trash can on his way out of the building. Then he just headed out to the obstacle courses.

Along a path was the academy's own training field and obstacle course. Once there he found the class area mentioned, with a blackboard, table, and some boulders placed around, interesting. He had approached the area to join the class. Kai himself was not too tall, had teal blueish spiky hair, and was wearing his usual sky-blue-lined jacket with grey pants. He had his own headband that was keeping his spiky hair up. "Hello everyone." He stood at the class with the few others there.

 

[Suzuki Setsu]

Tama had not been waiting long when the first of her students approached the area which she had claimed. A young upstart with small horns and fangs brightly announced his name as he walked towards her. At the same time, another youth, tan-skinned and dark haired, ran up alongside the boy Noa, apologizing for the possibility of being late. "Umu! A good attitude Noa-kun! I am Mochizuki Tama, star performer of the Mochizuki Troupe! And no, other-boy-whose-name-I-don't-know-yet, you are Not Late."

The third student rode to the class on a rather disgruntled looking horse, with pierced ears and a braided mane. It was odd to say the least, but Tama said nothing about it. Perhaps the girl was a tad awkward in social settings, and the horse was her imaginary friend or something. But Tama moved on, she was never one to be interested in the mental states of others. Ittai was fortunate that Tama paid no attention to the student roster or routinely had conversations with academy staff (at least outside of being lectured for damaging some piece of academy property or equipment), for if she had the Mednin-in-Training would have been immediately found out, but as it stood her ruse was successful, for the moment. "Yes this my class, Girl-who-hasn't-introduced-herself-yet. If you're taking it, get off your high horse and stand with the rest of the kids." Tama snickered to herself, "Ah, high horse. That was gold."

The last member to join the group was a spiky, blue-haired boy. He simply walked up to the group and joined the others, calmly greeting everyone, "Hello to you too, other-other-boy-who-hasn't-introduced-himself-yet." Tama stood on the table and evaluated the group of younger shinobi-to-be in front of her. "You all need work. Noa-kun! Excellent start! Proudly exclaiming your identity to the world! But you need more, a title that defines you! You have stated who you are, but not what you are! Sense of identity is key to a signature move!" Tama exclaimed. She nodded once approvingly before continuing, as if agreeing with her own statement, "The rest of you! State your names! Characters without identities are merely background characters! Not Late-kun! Girl-who-hasn't-named-herself! Boy-who-also-hasn't-named-himself! I am Mochizuki Tama, star performer of the Mochizuki Troupe! Who are you?"

Tama waited for them to respond before lightly hopping off of the table. She flipped the chalkboard around to the blank side, and scribbled the word, 'Weaponry' on it. Then she reached behind one of the boulders and removed a bulging bag and dumped its contents onto the table. In it there were a multitude of weapons of all kinds. Swords, spears, drills, axes, gauntlets, bows and arrows, shuriken, senbon, kunai, and a few flintlock pistols, among other things. All these items had been pilfered from the academy armory, or as Tama would say, generously donated with tacit consent. She began to pace in front of the kids as she spoke, "The next part of creating your signature move is choosing your weapon. This is not a decision to be taken lightly! Your weapon is your partner in battle, and comrade in war. Your weapon is your life! Do not use it, er lose it!" The slight slip of the tongue caused the chuunin's face to flush. But before anyone could call her on it, she plowed forward, "Ahem. Such an important item deserves to be treated as one. Every weapon has unique properties and handles slightly differently. Weapons that bludgeon can disrupt opponents, ranged weapons can take out enemies from afar, and gauntlets let you punch things harder, while letting you freely use your hands! Therefore, each of you is to select a weapon that you feel most comfortable with using, and then," here she paused for dramatic effect, "you will name it. And not just any name will do, oh no. This weapon will be your trusted companion! Put effort into it!" As an example Tama held up her hands, upon which she wore a simple pair of wire mesh gloves. They had the fingers removed, which allowed for free movement of her fingers. "This is my weapon of choice, the Thinking Gear!" Tama smiled proudly at the name for her beloved gloves. "Now it's your turn, choose a weapon and name it."

Alright, so some ground rules. First, I am going to adhere to a 48 hour posting schedule from this point on. If that is too fast of a schedule, let me know and I will change it. Second, if you miss a post you are not going to be immediately failed. Three missed posts do equal failure though.

Jinba Ittai: According to the rules you cannot receive any rewards from this class as you are not an Academy Student. Mission/Class Rules, but you can continue RPing in the class. Just to make sure you're aware.

Everyone, Tama wants you to select a weapon from what she's brought and name it. She has nearly every weapon you can think of. If your character already has a weapon, that is fine. Please still pick a weapon from the ones that Tama has brought, and name it

[MFT]

 

[Ryu Hime]

Kira, her equine companion gives a series of snorts that sounded like laughter at Tama's comment. Ittai found the statement less than accurate. Kira was far from being call a high horse; she was still pretty young and not fully grown, which made her the perfect size for Ittai. Ittai was no adult either and getting on a full grown horse at her size can be difficult. Ittai slides off and was about to proclaim herself, but then Tama congratulated Noa and she realized a simple name would not be enough. "I am horse and rider as one body; Jinba Ittai." Still a rather simple introduction though it was a clever using the spelling of her name in kanji as a for of title. Ittai then reaches into her pack and pulls out a bottle of ink. She was not the only non-student that came here that has yet to introduce themselves. After she unplugs the bottle Kira dips her tail in. Then with a few swipes of the tail on a boulder she writes 明 which means intelligent. The name would be pronounced Akira. "However she does prefer to go by simply Kira." This is because Kira thinks Akira sounded a little boyish even though it is a unisex name.

After introduction came the beginning of the lesson and there first task was to pick a weapon and name it. On the table the teacher dumped a hole assortment of various weapons including some rather unique ones. When Kira came to the table she was very unsure what to pick. None of them seemed viable for a horse to use, which is not surprising. Kira in her time of desperation looks towards her rider for guidance. Unfortunately Ittai had no answers for her, but one. Ittai presses her forehead against Kira's and speaks a chant, "One soul, one mind, one body." A brilliant light engulfed the two of them as they transform together into a new being. They became something the resembled a minotaur of faun. The upper body was human except for the ears, but she had the legs and tail of a horse.

Ittai reaches in and pulls out a giant axe; it was huge and looked to weighed a ton. Itai would not even begin to be able to lift it under normal circumstances. It is only through the combined strength of her and Kira that she can wield such a instrument. Now the question was what the hell was she going to name it. "I'll call it The Horse Slayer." Considering the size and weight of the blade it could easily cut down a horse, however it seemed a bit strange of a name for a horse trainer to wield. With her begin part horse right now, perhaps she ment it a slayer for a horse to wield.

[Edit: Picture remove due to it being more misleading then I thought it would be]

 

[Kashino Yuu]

Yuu was completely disbelieved at the class's instructor's attitude, as if she was a very eccentric mad scientist. "It's not Not-Late-kun! My name's Yuu! Ka-shi-no Yuu!" Still she does had a point on having a sense of identity when it comes to signature moves. For him, he wanted to be himself while trying to protect his loved ones as a full-fledged ninja. As for his fellow students who are also attending the class like him, he was interested at the young blue spikey-haired boy who was very energetic as he was while he was also curious and urged to know more about Noa, the first student who arrived before he did. As for the girl and her horse, he was surprised and weirded out by the fact the girl brought a horse to the class. But before he can ask, the lesson was already started and he had to listen every bit of it if he wanted to learn more. Though he was still wondered about Ms. Tama, which he although learned she was actually a star performer of her own troupe which explained her personality, he wondered if naming weapons might be a weird idea.

Still, he did wanted to know more about them as he grabbed a long spear, which he was a stranger to it. He already had his own weapon, which was a sword sword, but he wanted to hold something else to get more experience with it. "Well, I name this one the Newborn Electric Spear! You know, since I already had a sword with the name "Newborn" with it and I wanted to try something new." He now had a time to ask the girl who was named Jinba Ittai and her horse named Kira, but before he can, they were suddenly engulfed by a white bright light as they were replaced by a minotaur/faun-like creature in front of him as she grabbed a axe near her and named it "The Horse Slayer". Regardless, he was completely shocked by this change. "Is she completely real?!"

 

[Shizu Kai]

Kai was used to his quiet nature but he would soon be getting into the spirit. Kai noticed then that he really hadn’t introduced himself but then the class began. Kai smiled and watched as Jinba Ittai, Kira, and Yuu introduced their selves. It was cute and amazing the way Kira used her tail to write her name in ink on the boulder. His turn, just his name wouldn't be enough, he needed a title too. Luckily he had his own pursuits for something he can use. “I’m Shizu Kai, Elementalist!” he exclaimed. It was the easiest title to explain that he wanted to learn each base element.

For the next part, Tama poured various weapons from a bag onto the table that was before them and had them choose one and name it. Kai shielded his eyes from bright light as Jinba Ittai and Kira both were suddenly replaced by a minotaur or faun creature. Kai was completely surprised at first, but man that was freakin' cool! As he was picking his, Kai pondered what weapon would he use since his elementalist pursuits were Ninjutsu-based. Maybe he could choose the gauntlets, since it was noted before that they allowed one to have their hands free. For Kai's choice then, he indeed grabbed some gauntlets from the table there. As he tried them on they fitted fine and he felt that they were him. “For me it’s gauntlets, I will call them Element Zero!” Kai said, meaning they were non-ninjutsu, non-elemental.


[MFT] [WC 251]

 

[Sato Noa]

Noa's visage shone with tinge of pride in his teacher's compliment but it all faded as he pondered the latter part of her statement. He hadn't quite figured out what he was, it had always been assumed and no light on his origin was shed by his former mentor. It bothered him deep within, but he continued to forge a smile. He watched his peers all step forward beginning with Ittai, who assumed a new form that sparked his curiosity if only for a moment, the latter exchanges ensued. Yuu... Kai... The boy watched as they too found and named their weapons of choice.

It came time for his own selection, and he stepped forward without apprehension but inwardly he felt anxiety begin to set in. His training thus far had been demanding but with little focus on skills such as weapons use. He peered at the assortment of bladed and blunted objects. Noa found himself lost and without a clear direction as to what weapon he would would brandish and instead recalled his former mentors talks of the greatest blade's calling to it's wielders. He reached out with a pronated hand, palms flat and with closed eyes seeking to listen for this call...

He heard nothing, but didn't relent this action instead trusting that it would provide guidance. Yet and still no call for a brief period of time and then a warmth emanated upward, enveloping his hand and his eyes opened to find a blade, a katana of beautiful design directly beneath his outstretched hand. He moved to grasp the hilt and again noticed the innate warmth it possessed. It was comforting, and Noa believing this to be the "call" he had hoped for smiled and uttered simply, his habitual phrase, "Ganbaru."

 

[Suzuki Setsu]

The three unidentified kids announced themselves and Tama addressed them in turn. "Man-horse, what the heck? And why repeat it? Alright, Heck it is then." she said in response to Ittai. Tama had never been good with complicated phrases and concepts, so the girl's wordplay was lost on her. Ittai then introduced her horse, by being an inkwell. It caused Tama to wonder who exactly was in charge. From her perspective, it seemed the horse was. Apparently the horse's name was Kira, but since Tama wasn't getting paid to teach horses, she simply nodded and moved on.

The next to speak was Not Late-kun, or Kashino Yuu. He made a specific point of emphasizing his name, which earned him points. However, it also earned him further teasing from Tama. As with anybody who teases others, the point was to get a reaction, any reaction. Because that means the one doing the teasing is receiving attention. And Tama loved attention. "Indeed, Not Late-kun, Kashino Yuu is your name, but since you never said what your title is, you are now Kashino Yuu, the Not Late! Why you ask? Because it amuses me, Not Late-kun."

Kai's proclamation, was shortly after Not Late-kun, or Yuu. He had a goal in mind and that in itself gave him an identity. "Very good, Kai-kun. It's sounds cool, yet burns with passion. A gale-force intensity if you will. Not to mention a shockingly difficult title to claim. Very solid."

Sato Noa, however didn't follow up with a title for himself. Tama would have given him one, but she didn't have enough material to work with concerning him. And he wasn't as easy to tease as Yuu was anyway. But she supposed that everyone didn't have to have a title at the moment, if they stayed on as shinobi, they would be picking up epithets of their own soon enough.

Ittai was the first to choose a weapon, though before doing so went through some sort of a transformation. The result was a minotaur, a very indecently clothed one at that. "Hey! What the heck? Put those things away, there are children present!" Tama quickly grabbed the large sack the weapons came in, and using a dagger, quickly cut some holes for head and arms. "Put it on! Damn, children these days, completely throwing away the feminine mystique." Tama then set about commenting on her weapon choice and name. "So it was cow in disguise though, that explains the mintoaur look instead of the centaur. Also explains the name, so Heck, your cow has a beef to pick with horses huh? And that axe would sure do the trick. Nice." Tama, being an idiot, again completely missed Ittai's motivations behind her choice.

"Newborn Electric Spear, hmmm," she began as she addressed Yuu. "Well Not Late-kun, it is a very solid name. Fresh and to the point. I don't hate similar naming schemes, you know. In fact, all my weapons are called Gears! But remember we can't use baby weapons for ever, they have to grow up sooner or later. All in all, very good!"

Kai had picked a pair of gauntlets, at the sight of which Tama's eyes lit up, "Ah fisticuffs! An excellent choice, you know. All of my weapons are gloves or gauntlets!" She placed a hand on Kai's shoulder, "There is no better feeling than punching something into dust. And in your case it would be Eezo dust!" She briefly wondered if dust from Element Zero would be harmful to Kai's health, but soon put the thought out of her mind, dust was dust, and it wasn't like he'd gain psychic abilities from it, or summon hyper-advanced artificial intelligence bent on eradicating all civilization. It was just dust after all.

Noa had settled for a katana. Tama admired swordplay, though she preferred punching things. Swords took a great deal and patience and discipline to fully master, two things that Tama was severely lacking in. The horned boy gave it the name Ganbaru, Tama mulled it over before voicing her opinion. "Simple, but deep. Not only does it show your desire to do your best, but your weapon's desire to do its best to help you do your best, so that you both can be the best you can be. Not to mention, it combos well into a bunch of Signature Move names," Tama nodded sagely after her nonsensical banter.

"Which brings us to the next part of the class, Signature Moves! Now that you're all equipped, pick a boulder! You're going to unleash your own special move. Now you could spend all day learning that you can focus chakra into your weapon, channel specific elements, and other such boring stuff. But Signature Moves are all about guts, instinct, and imagination! So put all your energy into your weapon, and let loose! Right now you guys should focus on stuff like ninjutsu related stuff like," she stood, ran through some handseals, before saying, "Imma firin' mah lazors! Tama Beeaaam!" She cupped her hands around her mouth and shot a blinding beam of light that vaporized one of the boulders. "Or taijutsu related stuff like, Taaaamaaaataaaaaaamaaaaa," she held her fist back as if she were charging a destructive energy ball or something, "Rocket Punch!" She leapt forward and slammed her fist into another boulder, shattering it completely. "There's genjutsu stuff too, but that's kinda complicated, and we're not going to go into that today. Your objective? Destroy a boulder! And remember, the flashier, the better."

For those who are confused by Tama's response to Ittai. Her name is a phrase in Japanese. However, the word "ittai" can have another meaning. It also means "heck" as in "what the heck?"

Anyhoo, make something up and smash a rock. They are all rigged to break, so go wild.

 

[Kashino Yuu]

Yuu was not amused. The nickname didn't offended him, but it did made him felt annoyed by it. "I have no title! And again no matter the reason, don't call me Not Late!" He was even weirded out by the fact about that this woman was his instructor for this class. Although as she explained more about Signature Move and demonstrate one, he became curious as he wondered if can do the same as she did except the weird moves she just did. He already got some idea about his own move, but he wondered if it might be "flashier" as what Tama wanted.

The main idea for his signature move was to combine his newly learned jutsu with a standard stab to the rock. However, he was worried if the weapon he was given might not be compatible to his Lightning jutsu. Nevertheless, he decided to go for it as he aimed his spear to the rock before him. "All right, here goes nothing." After he made a few hand seals, electricity started to envelop both of his hands and with enough concentration, he transferred it to his spear as he charged in to the rock with a serious look on his face. "Thunderfist plus spear equals..."

With enough force, he managed to pierce the boulder with both of his Lightning-enhanced spear and strong stab, which caused it to break very quickly. "I call it "Thunder Stab". What do you guys think?" He asked with a smile as he hoped it was not that lame as he just did.

Spoiler

Action:
Thunderfist/Spear to Boulder

[MFT/WC: 260]

 

[Shizu Kai]

Kai was happy about his results, laughing a little at the Eezo thing. Good, next they had finally came to the part where they make their signature move. He watched before as Yuu transferred his lightning lightning jutsu into his spear. It was now literally an Electric Spear that he had used to stab and destroy the boulder. He wondered what the other students would use for their own signature moves. One had a katana and another had a giant axe, it could be straight forward or combined with something like Yuu did. He would love to see soon but he focused on his for now.

For the next part, Kai thought he would just go for ninjutsu basically and keep specific to his elementalist like he had been planning. The gauntlets could be used for other things, but he would just wear them. He picked a boulder and put his hands together. He signed through some hand seals that would be for Water Gun, the Water Element symbol flashed. "Element Zero Kai! Water Pulse!" He condensed moisture for a small beam and shot it straight at the boulder, blasting it apart. Kai was ecstatic to see the boulder destroy. Kai waited for the others to make theirs now.

 

[Ryu Hime]

"Heck, like I haven't heard that one a million time already." It was not until the teacher throws her a sack to wear that her current form had some major flaws in it And thus she returns to her normal form though she did forget to put down the weapon first. Thus she topples over onto the ground. "I'm alright." Next they had to smash a rock in some flashy way. How in the world are they going to do that with weapons they never used before? What type of flashy maneuvers do you think they can do off the spot? A person might hurt themselves? Obviously Ittai is not going to use the axe anymore. When She looks over to Kira the horse was putting on the sack Tama made into an outfit. KIra simply did not like to be naked. The one student used a lighting based attack and figured she could do the same.

Ittai creates a clone using a medical assistant jutsu. As one can gather such a clone can only use medical jutsu so it would be odd to use it for attacking an object and yet that is exactly what she plans to do. Ittai and her clone stood together and proclaimed the name of there attack while taking various fighting potions in perfect symmetry."Twin Lightning Strike!" The two of them rush at the boulder and slap a hand onto it hard surface. Upon contact they sent a surge of electricity into the large rock thus causing it to break. The jutsu they use was called system shock and it is one of the few medical jutsu that actually cause damage to the receiver.

 

[Suzuki Setsu]

Looking at the students work, Tama smiled. Ah the young signature moves, she inwardly sighed. She wondered how they would develop and change over the course of their shinobi careers. Yuu's attack, the Thunder Stab, was a very basic one. Yet Tama was pleased with it, for all the more complex moves came from the basics. "Nicely done Punctual-kun. Though generally, we shout the name of the move while performing it, not after it. But very well done indeed!"

Following Yuu was Kai, whose attack was a watery beam, similar to Tama's light beam in form. A seal appeared before he launched it. "Oooh! Nice effects!! I approve! It has room for improvements though, but the overall concept is very sound. It's a fluid idea that can be utilized and changed as you see fit. It's a good starting point."

Jinba "Heck" Ittai, went next. She had dropped out of that combination, and the horse was now wearing the sack. The large axe was now too heavy for the small girl, and she toppled under its weight. "This is why you have to choose your weapon, your partner carefully. If it's something that you can only wield under certain circumstances, you need to work around it. If you want to use the giant axe on your own, you need to build up to it." Tama hefted the weapon easily and carted it back to the pile. Ittai though, was seemingly unfazed by her weapon difficulties, and proceeded to do her own move without a weapon. First she summoned a clone and together they ran through a series of poses before casting a light barrage of electricity at a boulder, which shattered. The chuunin had really enjoyed the poses, which were enhanced by the symmetry of the clone, but Tama had expected the move to be bigger and bolder, considering the clone and the pose build-up. But it was a start, Tama surmised that not everyone was going to meet her standards of flashiness right off the bat. "Good! The poses add personality! It's flamboyant, I love it! But the end result was a little less flashy than the poses led me to believe, that was a med-nin jutsu right? Used in the right context I've a feeling that could be an excellent Signature Move. Great job!"

Noa had yet to make a move, he had seemed happy with the weapon he had chosen. But maybe he felt uncomfortable with creating a move all his own, with no formal training. "Noa-kun, you don't need to think about it so much. Take the strongest feeling you have right now, focus on it, and try to force it out of your body with a WHAMMO! Or a SHABLAM!" Tama yelled out the onomatopoeia for emphasis. "And then scream the first thing that comes to mind while doing it."

Turning to face the rest of the students she continued, "Great job all of you! You can keep the weapons if you like, or return them to the pile. Heck be careful with the axe if you want it. That ends today's lesson. Keep perfecting your own signature moves! But otherwise you're all free to go." She turned back to Noa, before saying, "Feel free to take your time Noa-kun, I won't leave until you do. Kinda my responsibility as a teacher."

Yay Class complete for everyone who made up a special move! Feel free to post your final reactions and exit the topic.

Noa you missed the deadline (though I did too technically) so i skipped you, though you can still post using your move and leaving and I'll still consider you to have finished the class.

Sorry for my own delay in posting. That was rather inconsiderate of me given the fact that I set the 48 hour time limit in the place.

 

[Kashino Yuu]

Yuu sighed in dismay when despite he was glad she didn't called him "Not Late-kun", he was still annoyed that he was now called "Punctual-kun". Yet it didn't fazed him as he became happy at his accomplishment. Although it sounded stupid, his instructor has a point about shouted out the move's name as he might able to differentiate a jutsu or a signature move. And when the teacher allowed some of the students to keep the weapons they used, Yuu wondered if he might able to use this spear as a secondary weapon. "Thanks for the lesson, Sensei. But again, call me "Yuu" when we meet next time, okay?"

He knew that might not going to happen considered his instructor's persona, but against he didn't mind. As he carried the spear with him, he managed to learn something new for this class as he started to gain confidence that he will able to graduate with flying colors in the near future. But as he left the class area, he then started to wonder about something. "How in a world did she got these weapons anyway?" Regardless, he decided to go home with the spear as his souvenir from the class with his worries about where it came from.
