Niki was in the gym, attempting to train himself in fist-fighting, but it wasn't going as well as he hoped. The shorty managed to get himself a punching bag, but not without being made fun of by older, bigger, and stronger students. He liked his ballades, but they weren't 100% faithful. So with a grunt, he drew back his hand and... punched the bag. It swayed maybe six inched, Niki pulling back his hand, " Ow ow ow ow!"

...

Now speaking of making yourself look silly, see what happens next. So, while the pink-haired cleric was blowing on his fist, the bag came back and hit him in the back, falling down on his face. " Owwww.... I don't like this! I give up!" He said into the floor, laying on his face. He re-gathered himself and sat up, glaring at the bag of evil.

"Would you mind some pointers?" A voice called from behind the boy, in a light but serious manner...

A figure whereing all black with white hair now stood directly over the boy, looking down at him through cold sunglasses, as if trying to identify something deep within him...

"Well, do you want help, or another go at the bag?" He extended a hand out to help him up.

Niki looked up in the direction that the voice was coming from. Blinking softly he took the hand and stood back up. He sighed, looking down at the floor. " I-I guess I could use some help. Its just mean how they make this bags so hard!" He grumbled. Niki dusted himself off a little, glaring at the bag while doing it. He hated being so small. Why couldn't he his his growth spurt!?

Goiyana entered the Gym, and made way to the punchbags, she didn't look strong, but her samurai clothing was visible to all, and when she asked to use a bag, she was allowed it, next to her was a short kid, whom seemed to be having trouble with the punchbag he was using, but not really noticing him, she began puching. Punch, punch block, knee, punch, block, knee, block, punch. She wanted to practice with her toy, but she didn't want to break anything, and if people saw her fighting with a ball/cup toy, she knew they would take the mickey out of her. She saw a large, burley man walk over to her, and practically ordered the bag, after ignoring him, he went to the next person.

Caleb could now see how much he towered over the person, after all, he was six feet and two inches tall....

"Well, for starters, when you were punching the bag, you threw a shoulder punch with all your energy focused on your hand. Powerful? No. Effective? Hardly. Instead..." Caleb motioned for the boy to join him in a deep stance, " You need to focus on your fighting spirit, which comes from the torso, in order to unleash true power..."

Caleb approached the bag in this simple stance with his guard up, and then used his hips and his left arm to create simple momentum, in order to release a punch with his right arm. When the fist struck, it knocked the bag so far up it almost circled around its holder... but Caleb looked as though he weren't even trying!

"It does not matter how strong or muscular you are, it matters that you fighting spirit, which is focused through your abs, is unleashed with every blow...."

The bag swung down, looking as if it were going to hit Caleb mid sentence, but he effortlessly redirected it with a simple side sweep block from his left arm,

"Go ahead and try again."

Niki stared at the guy in total awe. He could never do that! Look at him! they were probably the same age, but this guy was a foot taller! Niki was a midiget compared! the thought kept pressing in his mind, he could never do that. But the least the boy could do was try. He nodded, taking in every word that was spoken. He moved into a position mimicing the other, and doing exactly what he he had done. So with a punch the bag... swayed maybe two, three feet this time! Yay!

" Ah-ha! I made it move some! Maybe I can fight! Thanks sir!"

Caleb nodded toward the boy, happy to help a fellow student with fighting techniques...

"Always remember, only use your fighting energy when their is no other way... their is too much sensless fighting in the world already, and you should not add to it...."

He turned around, leaving the boy to continue practicing....

Niki turned around and threw his arms out; " What do you mean by that? You can't just leave with the most confusing quote ever! " His eyes were looking a little confused, maybe another emotion in there also.

When Caleb's faced turned back, he looked completely different... maybe it was the sunglasses, looking far colder than before, or the black clothes and leather trenchcoat that made the true statement of a badass...

"What does it mean? Have you not looked into the outside world, seen the chaos that engulfs it? Far too many have died in senseless wars, for stupid causes like wiping out MetaHumans or for making them the center of global power. Currently, few understand the meaning of being a warrior..."

He turned completely around, and walked up toward the boy... "The first level of combat mastery is achieved when your hands, feet, and body are a weapon by themselves. If necessary, you could bring down your oppenent with a blade of grass. The next level is when the mastery of combat lies in your heart, where even your emotions can render your opponent incapable. The Final level of combat mastery is when combat is forgotten, you and it become one, seeking peace and using it only as a means of maintaining peace. Such is the true mastery of martial arts... acheived by few to none...."

Niki threw out his arms in a protest, " You too serious guy! I just wanna learn how to actually fight! Self-defence. I'm a cleric, not a power-house! I use these as my weapon! How much damange could they do?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out two round metal balls hooked to srings, that were thn connected to bracelets on his arms.

" They don't fare well in close-contact, so I wanna learn how to use my hands and feet just incase."

Caleb flashed a cold smile, as if impling that he had seen something like what he was talking about...

"You think those can't be a force to be recconed with? I beg the differ... if you train enough, you can kill someone with a blade of grass..."

He paused, considering something for a moment... This kid just wants to learn how to fight... it sounds innocent enough, why not teach him some more? At the moment, I've got nothing else to do.... He sighed lightly, as if he had defeated himself at something.

"You wish to learn how to defend yourself? Fine, I will teach you what I know, but realize this, I'm no master of these techniques myself... I'm only on the intermediate level..."

Without even skipping a beat in his breathing, Caleb was suddenly much closer to the boy... close enough to were the eyes behind the sunglasses could see the sweatdrops from his first attempt at a bag hit.

"Now, tell me one thing, What is your name? At the same time, demonstrait to me what you would do if I were this close to you..." Caleb came within three inches of him....
