[color=00aeef]"Well then, young one. Your early arrival shows me you are eager to learn. Why don't you practice a few attacks on that dummy over there?"[/color]

Axeus nodded, his heartrate quickening slightly. He was glad that the master didn't waste any time. Axeus was here to train, and he hated having to wait. Axeus flicked his wrist. A simple, darkly-colored keyblade appeared in his grip in a flash of light. He looked across the room at the training dummy and then back to Irakois. He was surprised that none of the other students had bothered to come early. Axeus shrugged, then bowed to Irakois.

"Well then, Master, I will begin." Axeus gripped his keyblade with both hands, bringing it up to eye-level, horizontal to the ground. He paused momentarily. Then, he shot forward, using the speed of his [i]Piercing Slide[/i] to propel him across the room in a split second. He let out a shout as he slammed the tip of the keyblade into the dummy, causing it to fly back and hit the wall behind it. Without skipping a beat, Axeus leapt forward, catching the training dummy as it ricocheted off the wall with a series of upside-down aerial strikes. Finishing his arc, Axeus kicked off of the wall the dummy had just hit, shooting forward with a spinning attack, tearing into the dummy's torso and causing stuffing material to fly. Axeus landed in front of the dummy and performed a wide vertical strike, knocking the training implement into the air. 

"Gravity!" Axeus said, causing a orb of dark star energy to form above the dummy. The magic slammed the dummy into the ground, causing its limbs to snap, sending wood and other material flying. Axeus caught a large splinter of wood that shot toward his face. Inspecting it for a moment, he threw it aside and unsummoned his keyblade. He looked to Irakois and bowed once more.

"I hope that met your expectations, Master."
