Positioning himself to stand in front of her within reach he nodded. [color=92278f]“Learning to fight and defend yourself makes your ability to survive improve, relying on mages can get you killed if you are getting yourself into trouble. They are only human after all. We are Vampires, we don’t tire, we don’t breath, we don’t sweat, if you’re strong enough you can keep fighting up until the sun rises or just after.”[/color] Without giving any indication on what he was doing, Victor moved with speed no mortal could match. Moving to her left side slowing down enough for her to pick up his movement, striking some invisible foe next to her then suddenly he was behind her again striking at some invisible force with a right rear kick. Again moving to her right and striking something again with a precise and balanced side kick. Every movement fluid, balanced, and well-practiced. Before she could react he was facing her again in an offensive stance. His left arm in a blocking position while his right hand came at her with a rear straight punch. A strike that could cause serious damage if it connected, but he wasn’t aiming for her. His punch ended with his outstretched hand and closed fist next to her head. He held it there for a few moments to judge her reaction before returning to his standing position. [color=92278f]“Some vampires find fighting as a sport or hobby, for me it is a skill I need for my job. This insures the continued survival of my mage, the civilians, the target, and myself. I am not the strongest, or the fastest, or the toughest. I’m not here to scare you or make you quit I’m here to help you grow but it will be tough. If you’re continually paired with me it will be tougher than what the rest of them go through. But it’s worth it in the end.”[/color] [color=92278f]“So right now at this moment I would like you to hit me as hard as you can, remember to swing with your shoulder, your hips, push off with your leg, and don’t close your hand around your thumb. You will not be reprimanded and I will not bock it.”[/color]
