Kanji hardly needed to learn how to fight but he figured if this was a chance for him to actually be good at something in a school environment, he should give it a shot. Not like he could get into trouble for it when the teacher encouraged it, right?

So he's there, looking over the others who have shown up. Chances are even if he's among the biggest, there's a lot for him to learn - he's a brawler, not a trained fighter after all.

It's better than some of the previous classes she had attended. Closest thing they were going to get to physical education she supposed. Physical fighting wasn't her thing of course; a little self-defense and her gun made up for it, but... it's not like she could bring herself to skip. And perhaps learning a few more things couldn't hurt.

Naoto stood a distance away, arms crossed and eyes following their 'teacher'.

[ziobrawler]

Kanji wasn't exactly surprised to see Naoto at the lesson. Frankly, it could have been a lesson on underwater basket weaving and if it was part of the curriculum for the high school then Naoto would be there.

He made his way over, not wanting to disrupt the lesson but wanting to be near her. Which was logical, right - they were friends, friends liked to stick together in class. And, well, maybe he wanted to keep an eye on her too. Who knew what the lesson would consist of, after all.

[pishirogane]

Naoto only made exceptions to school sometimes; mostly when the teacher was highly incompetent and should be fired. Of course, no one needed to know (or remember) that.

When Kanji approached, Naoto acknowledged him with a small nod, eyes only briefly flickering over to him. She didn't want to stop watching the teacher in case he decided to call either of them out. That, and they were still supposed to be acting casual around each other.

Wow, this was sure a strange class to be in. Everyone was required to fight? Well her old friend Jason taught her how to swing a punch pretty well, but she still felt more comfortable with a frying pan. Ignoring that, there seemed to be a lot of kids here who already knew what they were doing.

Rapunzel sat herself a little bit aways from everyone else with her hair all in a pile in front of her. Maybe if she watched the others for a little while, she'd know what to do, or even just get credit for showing up.

A girl with blond hair that long? Spike would definitely notice that. She's small too. Hm. She looked pretty freaked out. Like a deer caught in the headlights.

Spike walked over to her, scratching his head. "Uh, you sure you in the right place?"

[hairraisingly]

She looked up at him with a curious look on her face. Rustling threw her pockets she pulls out a Paper that says she's in this class and holds it out to him. " I think this is the right place?"

[eyeinthepast]

He bends over at the hips and takes a good look at the paper, his face twisting a little as he reads it. "Yeah, this is the place." Spike stands back up straight, shifting his weight onto one leg. "You sure you wanna do this?"

[kaigreen]

Fighting? FIGHTING?! Is he serious? Sure, she wanted his care-free attitude, but she never thought she'd also get beaten up too! Dancer? Yes. Runner? Yes. Fighter?! Hell no! She was no Plumber!

...but she was also an A+ student who does not fail when it comes to her studies...

With a deep breath, Kai sucks it up and start stretching.

[eyeinthepast]

"You should learn how to relax, kid," Spike said to her as he saw her start stretching rather dutifully. He walked over to her with his hands still in his pockets. "Being all tense isn't going to help you in a fight."

[kaigreen]

Hearing his cool voice, she looks up at him and sighs. "True, but I never expected this. I honestly just expected you to sleep while everybody else fooled around in class."

[eyeinthepast]

"I wouldn't have gone through the trouble if I was gonna sleep." He sighs and shakes his head. "I don't wanna get fired and not have enough to get food, you know."

Ed rarely turned down the opportunity to spar with someone new. He'd yet to find anyone who could trounce him as badly as his teacher, but there were a lot of different styles on the Thor, and it was useful being familiar with them.

[eyeinthepast]

Spike looked over in Ed's direction. He recognized him from the video post earlier. "You brought those cigarettes I asked for?" he asked with a grin.

[steelalchemy]

Ed pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed them at Spike. "So what kind of fighting do you know?"

[eyeinthepast]

He catches them with a quick snatch and pockets the pack. "A little bit of this and a little bit of that. The kind that helps me get away fast," he replied with a grin. "What's your story?"

[hot_cyborg_girl]

"Hey, teacher. Are these the right cigarets?" Renee calls as she enters the room, throwing a pack in his direction.

[eyeinthepast]

Spike catches the pack with ease. He flips them over in his hand. "Yeah, these'll do just fine. What's your name?"

[hot_cyborg_girl]

"Renee." She's dressed in loose garments over which shes thrown her ever-present coat. It looks like she's had at least some experience with hand-to-hand combat. "I'll only be able to spar a few minutes at a time without the coat. Is that alright?"

[eyeinthepast]

He looks over the roster and nods when he sees her name on the list. "Whatever works for you. As long as you can fight, I don't really care." And that's just the truth of it.
