In a brilliant display of strength and skill, the students follow Ishtar's command. The slash out with incredible speed and fury. Ishtar's skill as a teacher is clearly demonstrated by the manner in which the children were able to master (Well.. the basics atleast..) such a difficult art in a such a sort span of time.

(cool) "excellent, now we will proceed inside the city, to my hous where i will teach you all how to defend yourselves , this i s a very strict law abiding city, i a m on good terms with the citizens and guards, so do not mess it up, come..." on reaching the gate:- "hey Rodrick, hey Quanair, how are both of you mind opening the gates for my class here, we want to go on a site seeing tour." the gates slowly open as ishtar and the class enter, going towards the house. "you see students the king doesn't like people being trained to fgith, or any type of so called violence, so don't mention it to anyone, here is my house, we will enter thetraining room, ah this is my helper, Rybor. hello rybor, mind setting up the training room for us, what was that? oh it already is? good work. lets move class." ishtar walks up to the door and holds it open."enter please." ishtar smiles.

The students walk into the massive hall. They are dumbfounded. Ishtar seems to have enough weapons to equip an army. ((Hey.. i thought that your house was inside Shandon. ))

Gamon snarls and growls like a rabid wolf before hurling his wooden spear at Ishtar.

As the class slowly groups up, ishtar shouts "Alright, all of you are required to first hold up one hand, the hand without a weapon, hold it up to face level, palm facing outward. Now bring the weapon around in arc slowly, these are wooden weapons so you have no chance of husrting yourselves.Now look at your opponent, speak not a word, and imagine that there lies your path, behind him, he is the only obstacle in the way to your success. Now go and seize that path, defeat the obstacle, attack."

The students obey Ishtar. They bring their weapons around in an arc on their opponents. A series of painful groans is heard.

Now ishtar smiling says,"Not all of you are concentrating , try till you succeed.I will now tell you some easy manouveres. First if some one is attacking you right in the middle, or right on you stom ach, or ainfact anywhere to the lower part of the body, below the chest the best and only method is to dodge, because by the time you defend such a shot, you would be lying on the ground either wounded or dead. Now is a person attacks you with his weapon horizontal in position, try to defend with your weapon in vertical stance and vice-versa. If some one tries to give you an overhead blow, duck and if it is the opposite way around, jump. Now i will want all of you to practise this and as you do remember what i said about defence, and about conquering the obstacle ahead of you. Now start."

((ok) ishtar smiles as the students gradually get better, two days had passed, all of them had grown into true martial artists, they assemble for the final lesson. ishtar greets them,"well well well, now we approach the final and most difficult test of all, ishtar and graybor(my helper) blind fold all of the students one by one."now with your hands alone, fight each other, last man standing is the winner, go on, begin."

as the students stumble over eah other, ishtar shouts, i will not givee you any tips now, practise yourself, be a true warrior." the group of 15 students practise for half a month without any succes,, they pass one monthe, two months, the swearing grows everyday by two fold,"STOP NOW! practise yet again. the greatest martial artist's ability is to stay coool, whoever swears is out right here right now. now begin, i will have to help uou out i see, the objective is too use all you other senses except the one most relied on, feel the people around you, judge what you would do if in this position, and now anticipate the others moves as well, practise." a week later the students begin to show a brilliant display of skill, defending each other and attacking simultzaneously no one falls , ishtar joins himself, fighting them blindfolded, attacking, gets defended, they jump and duck and crawl and strike at once and at terrific speed. ishtar takes of his blindfold,"stop my stduents." the students stand holding a staff each,"you are done my friends, defeat me in my skill, advance onto this world, untill we meet again keep these staffs as a reminder of me. if ever in need i will call upon you, and you upon me. not farewell but meet again." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~COMPLETED~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the students greet ishtar walk out, new citizens.
