Private Lessons (Valus)

[SEKTO]

The auditorium, the sound stage, the whole place. It was big and quite dark, few lights were on as it was after hours. Yalya was looking for a specific person, she'd chosen a rather simple and this time longer than usual skirt to go with a rather tight top with two thin straps of fabric keeping it on. No Bra, didn't think she'd need one for sneaking around the school after hours. Her hair was tied into a pair of pony tails with white highlights and tips. She played with her hair to show off and catch attention but also out of habit, like fidgeting. She looked around the room, not turning more lights on but instead trying to get her eyes to adjust to the areas between darkness and light, the parts of the auditorium not properly illuminated.

She wore her smallest boots and black stockings, fishnets on her arms and black leather bracers with iron studs. A steel chain with a sun-like emblem hung from her neck. Silvers burned her skin and gold didn't suit her. She wanted to look good, this was business and she needed to find someone. "Hello?" Her voice echoed quite clearly in the auditorium as she walked deeper in, moving away from the door and heading towards the stage, then towards the sound room. Her footsteps echoing far more loudly than she meant them to as she walked. Her ponytails were held in place by cute little scull themed hair pins, they added a strange extra something to her outfit as she turned her head slowly to her left, then her right.

[VALUS]

Valus was in his office laying on the couch taking a dirt nap as they say. He woke up as his cell phone went off.

It was the Buisiness Agent in town for his Theatre work for the local theatres.

He sighed and opened it as he put on just his vest and walked out the office slowly. he rubbed his eyes.

"Hey man, what can I do for you?"

He heard the agent give him a job for next week.

"Yeah, I'll be there just call me if anything changes. Thanks."

He hung up and put his cell phone away. More work and less play. He put his hands in his pocket as he saw someone walking around the Aud. He shook his head.

Great. someone else wanted to talk to him about what he does here. He looked at his arm and pulled his Ipod touch out of his pocket and smiled as the lights turned onto the girl on stage- as a joke. he walked over as a light followed him as he got on stage. He started to move the light kept following as his 3 fingers kept playing with the touch screen.

"Well, look who it is- Yaly. Nice to see you here."

He was being an ass because he could. She had come to class ONCE out of the whole year so far and didn't do too well in his class. Valus had control over his own but she didn't. He crossed his arms as he turned on all the lights to illuminate the place. He was going to try to figure out what she wanted from the Stage Technician.

[SEKTO]

"Valus."

She kept her voice restrained, not wanting to offend him. Normally offending teachers wasn't a problem, she DID skip most of her classes with this man. Her problem wasn't something he'd understand, her powers come from her harpy form, using them in her human form was almost entirely out of the question. Using them at all was almost entirely out of the question for Yaly as a whole. She couldn't change back to her harpy form at will without risking losing control, breaking down and panicking, she needed this man's help.

"I want private lessons." She approached him quickly, taking rather fast strides, her skirt swishing in a remarkably overt way as she walked up to Valus. The light on her followed until it was touching and combining with his spotlight as well. She was rather close now and looking right up at him. "I want to control my powers in my human disguise, you're the only one who can help me with that. I'll... I want to come here after hours for your help with this." She was being assertive without showing too much aggression and obviously swallowing a lot of pride, trying to keep her face hard as she stared up at the teacher. It was hard to look tough when you gave yourself cutesy pony tails with little skull clips for them.

[VALUS]

"I will do so, but you have to earn it. You have to prove to me that you are committed to doing so. This isn't something that teaching Theory will get you ready for."

Valus smiled as she got closer. He shook his head. He walked away from Yaly and went to the edge of the stage. He was going to make Yaly earn this. Not by any mental means, but phsyical. He turned around and looked at Yaly and took off his vest as he waved her to come over.

"Try and knock me off the stage."

He was going to try to see what her strengths are fighting wise. That was what he was trying to. Teach them how to channel their powers while fighting or to use abilities that could rival Valus's.

He was a skilled fighter hand to hand as he was ranged or with a blade. From a Knight to a Bastard Sword he was good. He smiled and licked his lips. As he tossed little items such as his wallet and cellphone on top of some foam so they stay in one spot.

[SEKTO]

"What?" Yaly blinked a few times. Admittedly this was quite different from what she had in mind but she decided to roll with it. Knock him off the stage? She scratched her chin. She wasn't really dressed for it but she was always, always ready to fight. Yaly advanced slowly, keeping herself in a very loose and casual fighting stance, bringing her arms up and crouching down slightly only when she was close to him. As soon as she had the range to do so Yaly moved in quickly, taking a single large step to put herself within close quarters with her teacher. He hadn't brought up his guard and Yaly grew overconfident but tried her best to remain wary.

He had to leave the stage, she shouldn't. Yalya brought both her arms upwards and forwards, a double-elbow strike unique to Muay Thai's more traditional forms. The attack was simple and straightforward, the move kept Yaly's chest and head guarded, her legs well grounded, and applied force directly towards the chest of Valus. If she connected she'd hopefully be able to shove Valus from his perch in one move. It was a good start, even Yalya had to admit it, but she didn't think it'd be enough. She kept her feet well planted and followed up the elbow strike by raising her arms and suddenly swinging them back down. From a Muay Thai double elbow strike to a barbaric double-axehandle, both arms coming down in a fast clubbing motion towards Valus's shoulders and chest.

[VALUS]

Valus had stood ready for any attack that she had brought at him and he smiled as he pulled one arm out to block the first Elbow strike, as she went for the second Valus had side stepped, since she was using all her force into the attack.

Depending on how much strength she had on the attack he would grab her by the cuff of her shirt and toss her onto the stage face down with the back of her feet facing Valus.

"Don't use all your force in one attack. Spread it out. Use your power as an extension."

He put his hand out opened and stood tall awaiting for Yaly to attack again. He smiled and winked at her to go again.

[SEKTO]

Yaly slowly got up, pausing on all fours and inadvertently baring her backside to Valus for a few seconds before moving to one knee, then up to her feet. "I can't use my powers, that's why I came to you!" There was a mix of aggression and Frustration in her voice. Fine then, spread it out? She will. Yaly took a rather large leap, getting a respectable amount of air for a human and snapping out a quick kick before landing. She hoped her skirt rising during the descent and the kick would give her some kind of an advantage, but upon landing she quickly bent her knees, bracing herself and remaining low.

The first attack she made after landing was a quick jab with her left arm, aimed at Valus's right shoulder. Within seconds she followed up, a boxing style shot from her right arm towards Valus's left side. The blow was meant to catch momentum from her first shot and block a counterattack from that side. She made a sudden move forwards after that, taking advantage of her smaller frame and darting in closer, bracing one leg on the ground and hooking the other around Valus's and applying pressure to his knee with her calf, her left forearm extending out and pressing against his right chest with her her other hand throwing a rather forceful hook towards his stomach. She was off balance but was sure this flurry and the trip would be enough to put Valus off balance and drop him off the stage.

[VALUS]

Valus's noted the kick and saw he skirt fly up- that was a distraction. Valus was hit by the kick and as the punch came out Valus grabbed her hand and use his other hand, it turned black for a second as he put his hand on her chest, he moved it down slightly and slowly before she had a chance to finish her neck attack he sent out a force that would knock her back from his hand.

It didn't hurt, but it would knock her off her feet a bit.

The attack was a Demonic shot from his hand. Allowing him some breathing room in fights so he can asses the situation. He raised his hand and shook it.

"Sometimes- being dirty is what it takes. But that jump- Mixing the kick and jump with the punch was good, I'll admit, figure out your oppositions weaknesses while you are going."

Some powers were transferable for people-from Human disguise to their monster and vice versa- Valus on the other hand was half human no one knew that though. A moment of hesitation would give her the win.

Valus took one step forward he was a stubborn sonnova gun but he wasn't going to let her win that easily. He shook his head as he heard a voice inside his head.

"I am going to kill you!"

He looked around- if Yaly was smart, she would have used that to her advantage. This wasn't a serious fight so Valus didn't care so much about his opposition. as he should.

[SEKTO]

It stung so bad, what was that? After he had caught her and blocked her attacks he... "Smooth..." Yaly sat up, having literally been knocked onto her ass from him using his powers. She didn't have access to hers but then something changed. She was sitting there, watching him. He'd done something she hadn't expected, before using her powers he showed her the opening she'd need. Yalya let her skirt slide up a bit, shifting her legs, letting one last glimpse of her panties show before she stood up and braced herself. "can't keep your hands off?" She surged forward, keeping low. "I'll be happy to oblige!"

Yalya still couldn't master her powers, but she had mastered fighting. Her human form didn't appear to be a threat to the yajuu but she was always more than ready to prove that belief wrong. Something seemed to distract Valus, perfect! Yaly knew he wouldn't be properly grounded and she decided this would be her pivotal moment. She drove her left shoulder into him, just below his stomach, left arm wrapping around and grabbing his ass and right arm grabbing his leg and pulling it up, almost around her body. She was going for a greco-roman style now, her legs planted and suddenly Yalya hefted him, lifting him from his center of gravity. "AAAAARGH!" She gave a surprising scream, stumbling with the weight of a grown man before moving her hands to his legs and pulling as she fell, sending Valus straight off the stage as Yaly dropped him and fell to one knee. She couldn't properly support him anymore, sending Valus into a free fall as she stood above him on the stage, hands held up triumphantly as she kept her legs braced and spread, completely ignoring the view she was probably giving her teacher-to-be.

[VALUS]

Next thing Valus knew he was on the ground infront of Yaly. His eyes blurred a bit from knocking his head on the ground. He saw a very interesting view of Yaly as his vision returned.

Thank god his blood wasn't normal.

He sat up and shook his head, a small amount of blood went from the back of his head onto the ground leaving a small puddle and the wound healed quite fast as he got up. He shook his head and looked around whispering to himself.

"Fuck."

Not to losing, but letting his past catch him off guard in the same situation. He clapped lightly looking up at Yaly.

"Well, you did well- Using an opening in order to attack."

He jumped on stage and smiled slightly. putting his hands in his pocket he smiled.

"My time is quite valuable after hours a lot. I will need some form of Payment in order to... Train you."

He wasn't really busy- he was trying to make him seem more than he was. After a short walk he grabbed a towel to clean up his blood off of him. If Yaly saw the back of his head, the almost snow white hair was now a lightish red as blood was in it.

After he did a small clean up it wasn't noticeable as he turned around.

"That sound fair to you?"

[SEKTO]

"Who's the girl? Who's the girl!?" Yalya was a bit too caught up in a victory dance to notice the blood, When he got back up on the stage she looked at him. "Well yeah..." Something in her changed as she started to blush a bit, suddenly becoming rather humble. She did just beat a teacher at his proposed test of physical prowess. "Well I got lucky... That's all..." She seemed to get even redder, a side of her that had never shown before shining through. Praise, she didn't get a lot of it...

He said something about payment then walked off to clean his blood, Yaly stood, the blushing fading and a small yet neutral to emotions grin crawled onto her face. She walked after the teacher, finally taking not of him bleeding. BOOYAH! BATTLE DAMAGE! She had caused a teacher to bleed, that's something to take note of. Yaly stopped behind Valus and watched as he turned around. "What kind of payment?" She slowly lowered the shoulder strap on the left side, letting it slide down her arm then crossing her arms under her bust, slightly turned to the slide with a slight lean, showing off her skin, her curves...

[VALUS]

"Luck has nothing to do in fighting. Nothing what so ever."

Valus was never lucky when it came to fighting, he just has more experience than most fighters he has fought against.

Valus smiled slightly and his eyes looked around the room to check out the suroundings after much thought he looked at Yaly and crossed his arms and walked slowly with a smile on his face he looked at Yaly and put a hand on her left cheek on her face.

The smile turned into a smirk as he laughed.

"That will be deemed fit at another time."

He stopped laughing and promptly put his hands in his pockets and smiled as he walked away to get his jacket. He put it on as his cell rang. He looked at the call display and smiled.

It was work 'saving' him.

Just more to tell him about trying not to do anything stupid for the next few days.

Normally outside phones weren't allowed, like him, but he was a special case. He loved to work. what could he say. He was going to let Yaly make the next move.

[SEKTO]

"You're a teacher, I'm a student. Luck HAD to have a part..." She wasn't just trying to be contradictory, She'd had tights before but never against a teacher, and never against a Yajuu's power. She had a new experience that day and that was a good victory for her. She shifted from her little pose and smiled to Valus, then gave a sultry grin when his hand was one her cheek. It was a "yes" she guessed.

He smirked and walked away and Yaly's expression changed. A mix of indignation and frustration, all summed up in one grumpy little pout. He said for some other time then went on his phone, was she just not good enough? When he hung up the phone she walked up behind him, arms crossed and pushing her bust up slightly, that was inadvertent but also just instinctual. "So when can we get down to lessons, and when can I properly pay you?" She walked a little closer, giving a soft, pouty expression. Half-teasing and half asking. "Are there nights you'd prefer to help me with this? any nights you'd prefer me to pay you?" She put special emphasis on "pay" each time.

[VALUS]

"Well,I have a free weekend this weekend for the payment."

He wasn't an idiot, she was going to use herself as payment to make his time worth it. But he was going to screw with her mind a bit to make her think other wise.

Turning around to see push up her bust he said;

"Every Monday night you meet me here or the pond." He said "It will be one or the other so check both."

He just wanted her to run, if she could fly while in her form she can use some work on it to understand her own abilities as a creature. Even though harpy's aren't interesting creatures.

[SEKTO]

"Not free right now? gotta go put some ice on your head?"

Yaly let her voice have a hint of sarcasm, but kept it playful as she turned slightly, watching Valus. What kind of beastie was he? What nasty little Yajuu hid behind the human disguise? Either way he was helping her so it shouldn't matter too much. She tilted her head. "Why the pond or here? Seems kinda odd... Whatever..." She asked but then immediately seemed to accept it, he was calling the shots after all.

He was the teacher, she was the student, that's how it worked. Yalya uncrossed her arms and put her hands on her hips, tilting her head and leaning forward a bit. Her stance was almost mocking, but she knew she needed to do this in private, she couldn't face a full class with her condition... With the problems she had...
