"I don't think you should ever go searching for a fight, but you should always be prepared for one. Trouble strikes when you least expect it to afterall." Izaroth said, seeming a little relaxed now, but he was still in unfamiliar territory, and that was making him feel uneasy.

"Also, the first thing you're looking to learn from me for is pain tolerance. No sense being able to dole out the hurt if you can't take it." Izaroth said, and would quickly speak up again before Blaze jumped to conclusions.

"But before we get to any of that, I'm gonna show you how to avoid damage outright, close in on your target, or put some distance between you. I refer to it as the 'Vanish' technique, since that's basically what it does; For about a split-second, you move faster than the naked eye can track. Repeated use doesn't do your stamina any favours however, and I doubt you've done much in the way of endurance training yet, so don't overuse it." Izaroth said, giving Blaze a reassuring nod.

"Going back to the previous subject, I view pain as a barrier; Pain makes your brain say you can't do something. You need to have the mental fortitude to tell it to shut the **** up. If you can push past pain, you can break your previous limits."
