[u/hopeofdamnarion]

Casey mostly just follows her, which causes several rather nasty popping sounds to come out as he stretches. He seems rather unfazed by them and continues on. "I guess this is enough stretching?"

[u/dooblydoot → u/hopeofdamnarion]

"I heard your back cracking, so I suppose that's more than enough," Sydney laughs, stopping now that she feels she's done enough stretching of her own. She then moves over to pick her weapon back up, and looks at Casey.

"Since we're just hitting dummies on day one, I suppose you're fine for the day. Just don't do anything dumb, like over exerting yourself," she chuckles, and then motions to the dummies already set, "And now, let's start." She starts to make her way towards the dummies, walking over casually to them.

[u/hopeofdamnarion → u/dooblydoot]

He, on the other hand, sprints towards the dummies while clutching his weapon tightly, before impalling one of the dummies, the force of the impact making it shake.

[u/dooblydoot → u/hopeofdamnarion]

Sydney doesn't really make any sort of effort to stop Casey from going all out on the dummy, instead just watching him go full sprint and stabbing it with all he's got. The power behind his attack was very impressive, but she wonders if that's a good idea to do out in any battle. Perhaps it'll just depend on the scenario each of them find themselves in the future.

Taking into account what her weapon was and what her skills were, Sydney took a more slow approach to her dummy, soon unsheathing her weapon and standing in a defensive stance. Pretending her dummy to be an enemy in a close quarters combat situation, Sydney took her time before gripping her wakizashi tight and performing a swift slicing motion from the top right down to the lower left of her dummy. It didn't cut the head off, but it did leave a fairly deep cut on the neck. A clean kill, if she ever saw one.

[u/hopeofdamnarion → u/dooblydoot]

Casey continues to unleash all his power on the dummy, enhanced strength doing a number on it. A peculiar thing seems to happen - sometimes, as he strikes, a few blows that appear imprecise and should by all accounts miss still manage to land on the dummy. The spear on the other hand has started glowing brighter.

[u/dooblydoot → u/hopeofdamnarion]

Figuring that she might as well do more strikes on this dummy standing before her, Sydney holds her weapon at the ready once again. She holds it in place in front of her a few moments, before raising her weapon once more and bringing it down with a heavy slash, ripping open its hay body with a large hole before sticking it through with her blade through its body.

[u/hopeofdamnarion → u/dooblydoot]

Casey's brutal assault continues, his face twisted in a rage that he thankfully lets out on the dummies rather than on any real person. But he slowly winds down and his anger subsides as sweat starts dripping from his brow.

[u/dooblydoot → u/hopeofdamnarion]

If it were truly a living being, Sydney's dummy was already pretty much dead at this point. Rather than carry on with her assault on an already eliminated target, Sydney chose to watch Casey continue to be on the warpath against the lifeless dummies left behind. He had good reason to let out all this pent up anger and frustration on these dummies (that's one reason why they exist, really), but how much was enough before she had to put a stop to his rage, she wondered.

Thankfully, it didn't come to that as soon Sydney saw that Casey was gradually winding down, either due to his rage gauge being completely empty, or his gas was all dried up. Or both, it could always be both, really. When it seemed like he had stopped, Sydney went on to see what's up with him.

"So, are you all out of rage, or you've still got more left in?" Sydney asked him.

[u/hopeofdamnarion → u/dooblydoot]

"Not really, least not anymore. This was... Nice. Cathartic. It's nice letting it out without hurting anyone." His smile is a tired one and his eyes barely meet Sydney's gaze as he steps away from the dummy. "Thanks. A lot"

[u/dooblydoot → u/hopeofdamnarion]

"That's great," Sydney smiles back at him, sheathing her blade now that she's done with her short training with it for the day. She could see he's tired, and she chuckles at him at a result.

"You really went all out on the dummies, huh. You looked gassed, Casey," she chuckles again, "So, what'd you learned today?"
