"...Uh.huh."

Jon stood up, picked his desk up by the legs and pulled it in half, before smashing both halves back together and making a nice cascade of splinters and chunks of wood all over the floor.

"Not bad, not bad! Pretty strong, so that's good, but you gotta have a little more style than that if you wanna be a real man. In gangs, it's always the thug who's breakin' stuff without sayin' anything. Give us a catchphrase or a smile or somethin'!"

[jonny_talbain]

"I don't smile." replied Jon, dropping the desk legs and stamping them into toothpicks with one fell blow. "And I don't do catchphrases. I'm a martial artist... I strike quickly and efficiently, and part of being efficient is silence..."

He realised that, at this point, he was trying to teach this supposed teacher and bit down hard on his tongue.

Roger wagged a finger at Jon. "Ah ah ah! I'll let you off this time, kid, but don't be so stuffy and boring. Trash talkin' is one of the best ways to catch your opponent off guard, and you can do it while you're attackin'! If that's not efficient, then I don't know what is. And I know what is. Trash talkin'. Cause I'm the teacher," he drew the last part out. Being able to give detention to people who disagreed with him was gonna be so much fun.

"Only if your opponent is a novice." replied Jon, tail flicking a little at the end. "Trash talkin' don't phase me, mate. And if I'm gonna catch someone off guard it's gonna be with me attacks, not me mouth."

He took the remaining desk leg and bit it clean in half. "...Unless I'm in a bitin' mood."

"Duh, if you're not good enough. You're obviously not good enough if you're talkin' about it like it's useless. You're just too mad to admit that a way other than yours is the right one," Roger explained, ignoring the bite. "And that's why you're in my class. Everybody's got somethin' to learn."

Jon almost smiled at this.

Almost.

"Mate, you'd know it if I were mad, alright? But I'm not gonna argue." Because everything he said seemed to be slipping over this kids head like water off a ducks back. He sat down on his chair to watch the other students break their own desks. Some people seemed to be putting in an awful lot of effort.

Felicia leaned over and whispered, "Think the entire class is going to be like this?" Not so much excited as she was... concerned.

[jonny_talbain]

"With Tiny Tim there teaching it, yes." replied Jon, crossing his arms and folding his legs. "That little fellow knows as much about being a real man as I know about being a proper turnip."

Of course, he spoke quietly so that only Felicia could hear. Despite being less than impressed, he didn't exactly want to insult the kid to his face.... or behind his back in a such a manner as he could hear.

"I'm sure it's reeeeeeeeal scary," Roger rolled his eyes, leaving Jon so he could go help out the other students. He'd learn eventually.
