Zeref Kyōakuna
D-rank
"There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand."
The dojo smelled of blood and sweat, of discipline and training, of years of honorable men who have trained under the roof of the dojo. Zeref stood slightly out of the middle of the center of the dojo, his feet bare upon the mats feeling the slight cushion but still firm enough to get good footing. In his right hand he held the bokken, the tip pointed down. It felt light compared to his normal blade, as it should since it was wood, he kept this in mind since it would change how he would need to wield it. His grip was tight, the Koton Gauntlets he wore helping keep the wooden training sword in his grasp.
He started to move to the right, the tip of the bokken dragging on the mat, his eyes locked to Tomohiro who will be his opponent for this training spar. Zeref thought about his plan of action, on one hand he could rush him and overwhelm and end the match quickly, on the other hand, he could play it defensively and get Tomohiro to wear himself out. Both had their pros and cons, Tomohiro was at a huge advantage, with both of them using wooden sword, and with Tomohiro being a Katon user, it stacked the favor against Zeref.
With his left hand Zeref pulled out his Katana and stuck it into the mat of training area before continuing to circle moving away from the blade. He didn't wanna be unbalanced more then he needed to be. When Zeref (if Tomohiro followed the circling) moved in a circle he stopped so he was on the opposite side from where he started, putting his katana at Tomohiros back.
"Shall we begin?" Zeref lifted the bokken moving his body and the Bokken into the chūdan-no-kamae stance. His left foot was now slightly behind his right with the left heel slightly raised, both feet were parallel, his hips straight forward, shoulders relaxed, spine is perpendicular to the floor at all times. This stance put his center of gravity centered between both feet. The bokken was raised and held with both hands in front his waist, with the tip of the weapon pointed at the Tomohiros throat.
