Suzaku's preferred sword of choice normally wasn't a rapier (too thin, lacks the option for a two hand technique) but for the sake of this demonstration he chose one. He stepped onto the mat, and bowed politely. "Sir."

Layton nods to Suzaku. "Thank you for demonstrating, Mr. Kururugi."

Layton takes a defensive stance, rapier raised with his right hand and knees slightly bent.

"We'll start with some defensive maneuvers, such as parries and evasive stances. I'll demonstrate those. If you don't mind, I'll have you perform the offensive techniques, Mr. Kururugi. Let's begin simply. If you could come at me with a forward cut, I'll show how to tierce your opponents movements."

Once done speaking, Layton lowers his rapier slightly, indicating his readiness for the strike.

"Right."

Its an easy enough task. Suzaku comes at the Professor with a few simple horizontal slices. The moves are technically sound, though his swing is wider and slower than normal, making the sword easier to follow.

Hungary, having selected a longsword similar to what she used to fight with, awaits her partner, grinning eagerly. It had been far too long since she'd last had a good swordfight; the invention of guns took away the need, and also quite a lot of the charm of combat from battle in her opinion. Though she saw the advantages in modern weaponry as well, fencing would always hold a special place in her heart.

As someone who was used to handguns, rifles, and knives all throughout her days as a freedom fighter, Kallen felt a bit awkward with a broadsword on hand, flicking her wrist and swishing the weapon around a little. She curled her lips for a moment as she took a step back, waving her arm in a smooth arc, the tip of the sword pointing at the sky as if she were to pierce the clouds with it.

The Gryffindor couldn't help but wonder who would be her opponent and help her realize her true potential at sword fighting. This should be really interesting to say the least. She kept waving her sword around, tapping her foot impatiently as she practiced.

[Not ready to participate? That's okay. Some benches and tables have been prepared for those that want to just watch or take a break.]

[Layton decides to greet his observers. After all, that is what a polite English gentleman does.

He notices Lucius, another professor like himself. Something about the man seemed knowledgeable on the sport, the way he observed the demonstrations.

Layton tips his hat in greeting to Lucius.]

Good afternoon, Professor Malfoy. Enjoying the demonstrations so far?
