I stand and proceed to take a leap of faith off of my pillar. As I land I look at Dean and smileDean makes his way to the training field, and finds himself standing before a large amount of pillars. He squints his eyes as he looks at his student. He was high up, but he would hear Dean clearly.
"Oi! I am Dean Winchester, and I am here to teach you Earth. Now, get down from that pillar so you can do as I ask."
Dean crosses his arms, as he waits. Though, he starts speaking, hoping that his student is paying attention.
"Tell me everything you know about Earth, its strengths and weaknesses, notable users of the element and why you like it."
Dean listens to his student's explanation, which wasn't bad but could still use some more details.
"Alright, that's okay. Though to add a bit, Earth release is a sturdy element which showcases both offensive and defensive techniques, and even a few supplementary ones. It has many different forms, and is usually used when the user is on the ground itself. A few Earth techniques do not require this though. Earth Release comes forth in the form of making pillars, structures like Golems and Dragons of Earth, defensive domes and even a sticky swamp, to name a few. We'll be going through them all in training. It is indeed strong against Water due to its sturdy structure and weak to Lightning as it tears through the rocky structure. It can even be used as a defensive wall against some Fire techniques, and even some Wind techniques (the more blunt ones) though it depends on the techniques, and I will name them whenever we comes across those types. Anyway, let us move on."
Dean looks into his back pack, where he takes out a small paper.
"Now, channel your Earth chakra into this chakra paper, which would cause it to crumble. Think about the Earth, its strength, its power and how its all around you. Sit on the ground, cross your legs and close your eyes as you do this."
Dean then waits for Keji.
Keji quickly does as he is told, and within mere minutes, he succeeds. It was simple after all, and it seemed that he did have an affinity for Earth! This meant they could start off their training. Dean smiles as he looks at Keji.
"Alright, let us begin. Now, I want you to listen carefully. My method of training is simple. I will explain the technique to you, then I want you to perform it against a clone of mine, and then state at least 2 advantages and disadvantages of the technique to me. Also, how you would preferably use it in battle. If you have questions, be sure to ask that too!
Now, for the first technique, is probably one of the most useful techniques even though it is low ranked. You will use your Earth based chakra and channel it into the ground before you, to create small pillars, shields and even tools of Earth. These pillars can even be made beneath you to launch you into the air, or beneath an opponent with a sharp tip to inflict damage. It can be used to cause someone to fall as they run towards you etc. It has many uses, but its rank is of course, its weakness. Use it against my clone, and after that, add all the things I listed (in a RP manner of course)."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Keji.
Keji's head drops because he forgot the most crucial part. "Dam my bad Dean." Straightening himself up he begins to explain his analysis."Alright on the performance, but what about the advantages, disadvantages, and the use in battle? You have to add them every time U_U."
Dean crosses his arms as he waits for Keji to add what he has missed.
Keji smiles and takes a fighting stance "Roger." As the clone approaches Keji begins to channel chakra into his right arm and as this is happening five stones begin to appear. "Batter up." Keji throws one rock at the clones head and then another immediately at its right eye in hopes to cripple the clone. Now engaged in cqc after a few exchanges Keji throws a hard round house to the head but when the clone goes to defend Keji smiles "Got'em." and sends the remaining three stones into the clones solar plexus causing it to vanish. (Imagine a Thai fighter throwing a switch kick while sending the stones around his back into the clone)"Amazing, keep that up! Here you go."
"Now for the next one. The last D rank technique, where you will concentrate your Earth based chakra into your arm (dominant one) and create a ring of rocks. These are then flung towards the opponent with ease. A very simple technique, but nice to use when you are close to the opponent. Use it against my clone, and remember to add the advantages, disadvantages etc."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Keji.
Keji quickly preforms the rat seal and begins to manipulate the ground within a 5 meter radius 360 degrees around Deans clone. Keji then crushes the clone between to half slabs of earth(kinda resembling pac man closing his mouth). "That's one clone down. Now where is that other clo..." A kunai flies past Keji's head . Instantly reacting Keji manipulates the ground beneath him turning it into sand and sinks into it. Now under ground Keji focuses on trying to locate the target. Once the target is found Keji manipulates the earth beneath the clone "Doton no Jutsu" this causes small chains to appear around the clones arms, legs, and neck. Raising from the ground Keji walks to the clone once again forming the rat seal. "Good bye..." manipulating the earth around the clone with his chakra Keji crush this clone just like the other."Very good, and those are some nice tactics you got there. Here you go."
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra into their arm and then release their chakra creating a ring of rocks that are then flung at the opponent.
"Now, we'll be doing two techniques at a time because Earth has the longest list ever, next to Water of course. However, I expect the same amount of detail, but I know you will deliver.
Now for the next technique, it starts off by forming the Rat hand seal and manipulating your Earth based chakra, to control multiple sections of rock. These can then be moved around the opponent, and then to finish off, you will form two gigantic sections which close in on the opponent. This aims to crush the opponent, but also take into account that this could be a chance for your opponent to go underground. So best use it when you have that covered. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that stands before Kenji.
"After doing that, charge your Earth based chakra into the ground, which forms it into a fine sand. This allows you to traverse through the ground like a mole. Once underground, you will be able to sense what's going on above you, and launch an attack accordingly. You can go extremely deep, making it difficult for the opponent to reach, and once you go underground, the Earth forms back to its original form, leaving no traces of your original entrance point. Once underground, you can only use C rank and below Earth techniques, and can't form hand seals. If you do try and use a more high ranking technique than C rank, you will disrupt the technique and be left crushed underground. Use it to escape from my clone."
Dean creates a clone that aims to find Kenji.
Keji smiles as he channels his chakra into the ground beneath him and sinks. Locating the first clone Keji travels just beneath it and reaches his arms up to grab the clones ankles and pulls it down leaving just its head exposed. "Doton no Jutsu" creating a small chain to wrap around the clones mouth to keep it from alerting anyone. Keji sees another clone running towards him and begins to manipulate the earth in front of him. This causes spikes to form right in front of the clone causing his feet to be impaled. At the clones moment of pause Keji channels more chakra into the ground to send spikes into the clones eyes, solar plexus, and knee caps. Keji sees another clone headed towards him and reacts by concentrating his earth chakra and releasing it in front of him causing a tremor throwing the clone off balance. While the clone struggles to regain balance Keji preforms the rat seal and channels his chakra to the earth under the clone "Doton Ganban Kyu" This creates to halves of a sphere to come up and crush the clone(pac-man).Sorry for the late reply, was preoccupied with proctoring a test xD

Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.
"Alright, now we have a D rank technique to cover first, because you needed to have learned Hiding Like a Mole before you could learn this one. Now, first you will go underground with Hiding Like a Mole technique, and will then emerge from the ground below the opponent. Pulling him down, as you go up. This leaves only his head exposed, making it easy to decapitate or torture said opponent. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone, that looks around aimlessly.
"After that, one of my favourite Earth techniques. Through manipulation of your Earth based chakra, you will send your Earth chakra into the ground before you and cause several spikes of Earth to emerge from the ground. This can be aimed to emerge from beneath the opponent, behind him, pierce vital parts, the feet etc. Very useful, since it requires no hand seals. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"Lastly, you will start off by concentrating your Earth based chakra and releasing it into the ground before you. This will cause a tremor to occur, which is capable of throwing the opponent off balance, and even cause him to mess up with hand seals. Its a nice tactical technique, and can be combined with many other techniques. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
Seeing the clone charging towards him Keji begins to mold earth chakra in his mouth. Allowing the clone to get within arms length he grabs it and releases a mud glob into the clones eyes. As the clones struggles to gain its vision back Keji drags him completely under with Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu. Raising himself up Keji notices another clone in a near by cave. Molding his chakra towards the cave Keji and weaves a single hand sign. This removes the most a piece of its ceiling collapsing the whole cave on top of the clone."Very good, and unfortunately the spikes can't "shoot" out of the ground. Other than that, awesome! Here you go."

"Next is a very easy technique to use, and frankly, underused overall. You will manipulate your Earth based chakra, and create a globule of mud in your mouth. This can be shot towards the opponent, aimed to hit his face, and blind him temporarily. Best used in a Taijutsu fight, or if you are simply close range since it travels in a linear path. This means that it is easy to predict where the globule mud will travel to. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, a technique which allows you to dislodge and bring down nearby Earth structures, either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures) with a single hand seal. This works through using your Earth based chakra to remove a vital piece of the structure, causing it to collapse. Best used in a cave, where all the rocks would be loosened, and fall onto the opponent. It is capable of causing up to A rank damage, if the amount rocks are many. The technique itself is merely C rank, but it causes the rocks to cause A rank damage because it isn't chakra fueled, and simply just a large amount of rocks falling onto the opponent. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that stands in a cave.
