[Raiton] Agnes learns how to shock her foes with Detective L

Cabbage · Nov 21, 2014

*Agnes looks at Dean again and blushes slightly*

"I have yet another question, what are the limits to this jutsu? Can it be utilized on chakra created creations, such as walls, to cause them to crumble upon the opponent? Does the wave that's created to dislodge the rocks have the capability to hi the opponent, and still reach the rocks? And finally, is there a size limit towards which this jutsu would still dislodge the rocks?"

Detective L · Nov 22, 2014

Agnes had another question, which was good as Dean didn't want a student to leave and still have questions. Everything should be answered here and now.

"Good! Having questions means you are paying attention. Now let's see, yes it can be used on a wall, or any earth structure (within its limit though, it's just a C rank tech). The wave could indeed hit an opponent, but then it would not move on wards towards the earth structure, wall or whatever you are trying to dislodge. Well, considering that it is a C rank technique, it would be able to dislodge a huge mass of a mountain structure or so, and even though it states no limit nor boundary, one has to think realistically what size could it dislodge. That is left up to interpretation. I hope that answers your questions, Agnes."

Dean then waited for Agnes, perhaps there was more she wanted to discuss.

Cabbage · Nov 23, 2014

*Agnes nods as Dean answered her questions.*

"Ah thank you Dean-sensei. Although I still have a question about scaling, how would, say, a B-Rank jutsu impact a boulder? I understand that a D-rank Raiton jutsu would merely leave a mark upon it, a C-Rank would leave a broader one, and A and S ranks would destroy it. Would a B-rank do the same?"

Detective L · Nov 24, 2014

Agnes asks a question that makes Dean wonder. It was an interesting question. Dean gets a stick to draw a diagram of sorts on the ground, to show Agnes.

"Interesting question. It depends, to be honest. B rank techniques are categorized due to either power or range, there is no set size for the techniques, so it all depends on the technique itself. Some B rank techniques can cause huge damage while others are smaller in size but more potent. So there isn't really an answer to your question as each technique varies."

Dean smiles as he hopes Agnes took in everything.

Cabbage · Nov 25, 2014

"So not even a base to go off of for B-Ranks... that's unfortunate. Thank you for your time nonetheless."

*Agnes does a slight curtsy, momentarily oblivious to the task at hand. A small blush begins to cover her face again as she realizes that she has still to perform and explain the jutsu.*

"Oh right, the jutsu... um, erm, let me begin."

*Agnes notices the now sleeping clone on a middle tier edge of a nearby cliff, and performs the Snake and upside down Tiger hand seals, which initiates a rush of chakra into both of her palms. She notices that she's right at the base of the cliff itself, and thus, as she claps her hands together in order to create the wave of electricity, she dashes to her right about ten meters, thus moving herself away from the trajectory of the boulders. As the wave hits the loose boulders of the cliff formation in front of which the clone's sleeping, Agnes turns to Dean.*

"Erm, sensei, I recommend you move to the side..."

*The boulders then begin to collapse onto the clone, crushing it immediately as they cascade down the cliff, and enter the training ground, causing numerous dents across the grounds as they do so. About five boulders, each of a moderate size, end up reaching the grounds, covering the upper middle portion of it, closer to the cliff than to the lower half of the training grounds. Agnes sighs as she looks at Dean.*

"At least there are new targets now... but I actually don't have to much to say here. The problem with this jutsu is that it's too circumstantial. First, you need to actually perform both an unusual hand seal as well as clap your hands, with the two done together pretty much giving away your plan of attack. Second, the wave of electricity needs to actually hit the boulders in order for them to actually collapse, and that's if the cliff or cave is actually structurally weak, as a stronger structure would be left standing. This means that if the opponent ends up countering the wave itself, then the jutsu isn't actually performed. Third, even if the wave hits, there's a wait period between the wave hitting and the structure collapsing, thus the opponent can reinforce the structure utilizing Doton jutsus, thus also making this jutsu null and void."

"If there is anything that this jutsu does right, though, it's that it attacks the environment around the opponent instead of the opponent themselves, in order to indirectly attack the opponent, and directly change the environment, to your hopefully advantage. Thus, this jutsu is actually better for zoning and forcefully directing the opponent, as it can force them into the open, thus giving you many more direct advantages, instead of them being in a more protected environment. Yet, other than that, there really isn't much to say here, as this jutsu is too dependent upon some factors for it to see much use I'm afraid."

Detective L · Nov 26, 2014

Dean loks around as Agnes answers. While she is busy, he quickly takes out a bottle of gin and drinks a bit, he needed a refreshment, the sun was quite daunting at this time of the day. He then gave an evil smirk like expression to Agnes, signalling her that he agrees with her statement, and that they were moving.

"You are indeed right, Agnes. It is very terrain based, thus I have only used it once myself. Anyway, here is the technique."

"Before we go on, how would you like to have two techniques at a time, or should we continue with a single one? While you decide, we can do one more technique. Now, for this technique you will raise your hand in front of you forward, almost like holding a sword out. Once you do so, you will concentrate your Lightning based chakra into that hand, and it will start to glow in a yellow pale color. You will then release your Lightning based chakra in the shape of a horn that spreads outwards, allowing it to hit multiple enemies, Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Agnes.

Cabbage · Nov 27, 2014

*As Agnes gave her explanation, she noticed a movement from Dean, somewhat unusual, given his usually attentive stance that he gave while Agnes gave both her demonstration and her explanation. Mind, she wasn't the most attentive herself, given her fancies to elaborate expatiations... but still, could it be?*

*Dean gave her an "evil" smirk as she finished her explanation, but it seemed almost adorable given what she suspected of Dean doing... but she smiled as she tossed the latest scroll onto the wood stump, packed with at least six other scrolls. As she does so, she listens to Dean's explanation of both the training and the newest jutsu. She selectively replies to the jutsu first, as she needed to give the training some thought...*

*She closed her right hand into a fist before pushing it forward, being on the same plane as her breasts. As she does so, she funnels the first wave of chakra towards the fist, which is followed by the second and third waves. The third wave causes her fist to glow with a pale yellow tint, causing it to buzz, yet it also has a soothing feeling parodoxically. She opened her fist, sending a small bolt of electricity to charge towards the clone, which is, as always, approaching close range to Agnes. Sighing in disappointment, Agnes continues streaming chakra into the bolt, causing it to spread wider, first covering the width of the clone, then three feet, then five feet, and finally, as it enters mid-range, ten feet. It shocks the clone, causing a more paralyzing effect than some of the previous jutsus used, thus stopping its dash before causing it to poof. She sighed again, but this time in relief, as she turned around to Dean.*

Hm... I best pay attention to him perfectly this time...

*Shes clasps her hands before her back and tilts her head to the left before initiating her explanation, playing coy for the moment.*

"This jutsu and the Electric Attack hold some similarities, in that both depend upon streams, and thus continual chakra input, for proper usage. Both also have a form of lag implemented into their usage, with the Electric Attack jutsu needing three hand seals before the chakra storage even starts, while this jutsu depends upon a certain bodily motion before the jutsu is able to be released. Yet, this is actually one of the differences, with hand seals, one can gain better specialization to perform them either swiftly, or with just one hand seal, which eliminates most of the wait required in order to utilize the Electric Attack jutsu; meanwhile, this jutsu has no such methodology for eliminating or reducing its lag time, and thus even a Raiton specialist needs to plan for that lag time to properly use this jutsu. Possibly more important than that is the fact that this jutsu actually needs a bit of time in order to gain its full spread, with my observation being about mid-range, although that may vary. Hence, its actually not that effective for close-range combat at all, as not only is there a lag time for it to be utilized, but its effectiveness is neutered within that distance. Instead, this jutsu is best utilized as a preventative for any closing action. In other words, it's not truly meant for a normal attack, unless if more than one person is involved on the opponent's side, but rather as a method to prevent the opponent from closing in upon you. This may be useful, for example, as a method to guard a water source, or to prevent the opponent from reaching you when you have high ground. Mind you, be careful from sudden avalanches from vengeful opponents."

*Agnes smiles as she says this, but she still hasn't noticed any unusual moves from Dean.*

"Anyways, another portion to worry about is the fact that the user's hand actually turns a color as chakra is stored within it. This actually gives away the jutsu of which you are preparing, as I honestly do not know of any other jutsu that does this as of right now. Thus, this allows the opponent ample time to develop a counter, of which numerous exist for this jutsu (mostly of the wide spreading Fuuton jutsu or well-placed Suiton jutsus variety). Henceforth, this is another thing you need to prepare for, which makes this jutsu harder to utilize in the heat of battle, as it depends upon a relatively predictable opponent for it to work as intended."

*Agnes then drops her hands to her sides as she takes a breath. Still no abnormal moves from Dean, but she can see the sweat dripping from his brow. It has turned abnormally hot recently, as she could use a refreshment soon... but she first had something else of which to think.*

Hm... now for his first question... I wonder how busy he is, as I wish to not hold him up too long, but I also tend to prefer learning one jutsu at a time, especially if I need to explain them... hm...

"For the training question, I can do what you would prefer to do at the moment. I have a preference for one jutsu at a time training {OOC: Probably one of the few here who prefers to do things like that

}, but I understand if you wish to finish this training sooner so then you can teach evermore new shinobi. Thus, I leave it not to my preference, but rather to yours. Also, I notice that you seemed tire out here, you want something to drink?"

Detective L · Nov 29, 2014

OOC: Cool, I thought you might prefer a faster training, glad to see you like it, one technique at a time

Allows us to RP a bit more in training!

Dean kept his bottle in his hand, as he listened to Agnes explain the technique. She reminded him of someone, he just couldn't put his finger on who. Perhaps it was someone Dean had trained before.. Nonetheless, she was one of Dean's favorite students, though e wouldn't tell her, she'd probably faint. Dean keeps listening, and stands up as she offers him a drink. Perhaps she did not see Dean's bottle of Gin, which was enough "refreshment" for him."

"Just simply awesome. I must say, I am impressed.. and thanks for the offer, but I am sorted!"

Dean lifts his bottle of Gin to Agnes, smiling as he does so.

"As for your preference of taking it one technique at a time, I don't mind. I think it is better to do it so, quality over quantity. Well, here is the technique you just learned."

"Now, the technique we will be handling now, requires a sword and is very unorthodox. Here take mine! Now, with the sword in your dominant hand, channel some Lightning based chakra into it, which will increase its cutting capabilities. After that, manipulate your Lightning chakra, and cause the sword to levitate in front of you. After doing so, create two copies from the original sword, allowing all three swords to levitate in front of you and cause them to spin rapidly. Once you have done so, with the movements of your hand, you can control the movements of the swords, and cause them to cut the opponent a fair distance from you. thing is, you can't use other techniques whilst this is active. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that stands with a sword in hand.

Cabbage · Nov 30, 2014

*As Dean shows his bottle of gin, Agnes bared a cute smirk. It's as she thought, he was getting drunk here, and he even had the audacity to act as if she didn't notice. Still, it truly was disappointing that Dean held no interest in her drink, as it was one she made herself, a simple coca cola with some cherry and orange juice mixed in it. It probably wasn't good though... she sighs as she thinks this, still had no one interested in the drink. Oh well... life moves on.*

*Agnes tosses the newest scroll onto the stump library and begins to listen to Dean, who begins to explain the, by far, most absurd and unusual jutsu thus far. As Dean offers her the sword, she takes it gingerly and grasps it uncomfortably and unnaturally with her right hand. She held a dislike for swords, finding them an absurd, uncomfortable weapon to use, regardless of how much she had already practiced with the sword-utilizing Fuuton jutsus she had learned from Castiel in her Fuuton training. Yet, this didn't create a bolt of lightning when swung, but rather it is used as an avenue for... levitating and cloning... As Dean finished his explanation, her lips crook, Agnes clearly thinking about the jutsu...*

What in the world... this jutsu seems to have some build-up time, lag time, and transportation time. And it needs to be utilized with a sword to boot. But... what of the sword clones...

"I have yet another question Dean-sensei, I understand that the swords are illusionary clones, but may I ask of what characteristics they take regardless? Are they merely lightning verisimilitudes, or do they possess any of the physical characteristics of the sword utilized? And what if I used a special sword with this jutsu, will the illusionary swords possess any of the abilities of the special sword, or merely the shape of the sword utilized? And finally, are there restrictions on the size and type of sword used for this jutsu? For example, may I use a katana in conjunction with this jutsu, does the sword need to be of a certain size, and so on and so forth?"

*Agnes takes a quick breath before taking out the refreshment of which she was speaking earlier, a bottle with a large yellow and encircled S on it. She takes a quick sip while crooking her mouth, not exactly the best tasting drink she ever had...*

Detective L · Dec 2, 2014

Agnes asks a question that Dean himself had asked his sensei back in the day, or at least wondered about it. It was indeed a weird technique, so Dean was prepared to explain it even more to Agnes, who liked for things to be clear, which Dean noticed. Putting down his bottle of Gin, Dean walked a bit forward and started talking.

"Well, the swords are merely molded with Lightning based chakra, so they have the characteristics of a C rank Lightning technique, which delivers a slight shock and could do some cutting damage. The swords merely take on the shape of the original sword, and get no special abilities from the sword, except for its shape and structure. It can be used with any sword that you have in your possession. The swords are somewhat physical in form, due to being made of Lightning chakra. I hope that answers your questions."

( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15 (-5 per turn)
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will channel their lightning chakra into their sword to increase its cutting capabilities, and then levitate it in front of them. They will then multiply the sword creating two extra physical copies which are then all manipulated to spin rapidly and are controlled to fly towards and cut through the opponent/s through hand gestures. While controlling the weapons, the user cannot mold chakra for other techniques and needs to keep focus.

Dean then folds his arms as he looks at Agnes with a welcoming face.

Cabbage · Dec 5, 2014

OOC:
"are controlled to fly towards and cut through the opponent/s through hand gestures"

I can essentially presume that you are performing literal swings and motions with your hands to operate this jutsu then? Because there are three swords though, can one operate the swords to perform complex manuevers in which each sword performing a different function (for example, one thrusts into a wound opened up through a swing of another sword; meanwhile the real sword is swinging in front of the opponent to distract them from the other two swords). If so, then how can one manage such a complex array efficiently, as the use of hand gestures implies that these swords need a more direct control, unlike, say, the Demon Head jutsu?

Detective L · Dec 6, 2014

Well, I believe all swords follow one movement, depending on the hand gesture performed. The thing is just that there are three of them, which makes it a bit difficult to deal with, and as you said, complex movements with each one would be near impossible as how would you control three swords with one hand doing extremely complex movements. It's a pretty vague technique, but that much I can get from it xD

Cabbage · Dec 21, 2014

Sorry for the lateness with this post.

*Agnes sighed, this jutsu was truly confounding. The blade increasing its sharpness by the utilization of Raiton is easy enough to understand, but the levitation part was... interesting, but Raiton could supposedly do something of the effect if there was a continual application of Raiton onto the blade itself, thus perhaps there was a lightening application to this jutsu... she'll ask when she's done with this jutsu. But the third part, of the creation of two other verisimilitudes... truly one of the most absurd things she's ever heard. How does one copy a sword, a physical object, into two other clones of the same object, while retaining both its physicality and its elemental nature? Is she could ascertain that, then the rest is easy, as the swords are controlled through a similar mechanism that allows the blades to levitate. Perhaps...*

"I think I understand now. Thank you Dean-sensei."

*She then grasps the sword in her right hand and funnels Raiton chakra through her arm into the sword using a similar methodology as when she creates bolts of lightning from her hands for numerous applications. However, it only takes two cycles this time to create a bolt of lightning which electrifies, and thus sharpens, the sword. Whether this was her getting better or just how this jutsu works she currently has no understanding... and nor did she currently have the time to do so, as Dean's clone, which he created some time ago, has just noticed her again. In a rush, she loosened her grip over the sword, thinking that the electricity already covering it would be sufficient for proper levitation... except the sword ended up tilting to the right, it being severely off balance. Gasping, she sent chakra into her left arm, funneling it twice before it, too, had bolts running through it. She then tried to redirect the bolts onto the sword, missing it twice before finally connecting with it. The sword ends up standing upwards, sword facing the approaching foe, with the blade being about fourty-five degrees upwards; the electricity forms a parallel line with the ground, with it crossing the hilt of the sword, her hands sprawled outwards, but fingers facing the sword. Unfortunately the clone was now close-range...*

Wait, when did this happen!?

*Agnes immediately tries to duplicate the sword, using her idea. She first creates an outline of the sword using the Raiton chakra from each of her hands, and then raises the outline, and splits it into two. She then condenses the chakra, causing both of the swords to fill with electricity, she then...*

SLASH!

*The sword from Dean's clone manages to stab through Agnes' right hand, which she swiftly replies by shakily sending the left electrical clone towards the clone's head, thus dissipating it. She gasps, trying with every mental might to not cry or show pain in front of her sensei. She instead gathers some Suiton chakra into her left hand and rubs the wound in a back and forth motion, in order to sloppily clean it. She then wounds the wound with a lower portion of her dress, cutting it with a kunai, breathing slightly heavily as she does so. She then faces Dean, eyes slightly red, but head fully attentive towards his position. She still had to explain the jutsu after all.*

"This jutsu is incredibly dangerous, and relies too heavily on too many factors going your way for it to be effective. First of all, you need a sword or a similar tool in order for it to work at all, which isn't always possible, nor is it usually the best method to use the sword, and there are few situations in which this jutsu would be that effective and in which you would need to use a sword for a distance battle anyways. Then, you need to concentrate chakra into it, which actually mostly helps, as it increases its cutting capability, as well as sends electricity down any weapon that counters and deflects it, thus shocking any foe that doesn't have a chakra enhanced weapon countering it. But then you need to levitate it, as space is an issue when you create two clones of a weapon in mid-air. This doesn't help the user, as the full power of the normal function of a sword actually depends on the grip the user has on the sword rather than the sharpness of the sword, and thus having no grip on it at all... doesn't really help you. And then there's the create of the two sword clones, again, a step without any benefits. Then and only then can you send the sword clones out to attack. The problem with this is that most sophisticated manuevers are impossible, as you need hand gestures instead of chakra manipulation in order to direct the swords. Thus, this jutsu has two preparatory steps for an end result that can be easily imitated with a simple Tiger hand seal."

"Let's just examine the end jutsu itself though, as not even that is good. You have three swords essentially charging towards the opponent, with at least some strategy possible. For example, you can have one sword charge in directly, while the other two pinch the sides of the opponent. But a simple kunai can mostly emulate this effect, and given that these swords will merely be countered with a large scale Fuuton jutsus, there is little benefit to using it. Add that to the large scale preparation needed, and the instability with use, and this jutsu can be outright dangerous to use..."

*Agnes then rubs her right hand... her voice being somewhat softer and more effete than earlier. She rather just move on now.*

Detective L · Dec 22, 2014

Dean watched as Agnes had a little trouble with the technique. It wasn't a very user friendly technique, as it required quite a few steps to correctly get it right, and although Dean enjoyed swords, he didn't like that specific technique himself. He wasn't angry nor disappointed in Agnes, and rather but on a smile to show her that he wasn't. She seemed to be quite fragile, and he hoped that she wouldn't get hurt during training, especially with the more powerful techniques coming.

"Are you alright, Agnes? Don't go bleeding out on me now... As for the technique, well done, but you have to be a bit faster when performing it as you can see the technique requires a few steps and can be difficult to do when you have limited time. Now, here is the technique, catch!"

"Okay, now the last technique of the C ranks, then the big ones are coming. This technique is fairly easy, and wouldn't be a problem for you. First, manipulate your Lightning based chakra and focus it into your dominant hand. This causes electrical bolts to be discharged from your forearm, of your dominant hand. After doing so, slam the palm of that hand onto the ground, discharging the electricity through the ground, up to 5 meters around you. A nice technique to use if you are surrounded. Try it out on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Agnes.

Cabbage · Dec 27, 2014

*Agnes rubs her right hand, the wound still slightly bleeding, and her hand still slightly numb. She sighed, and caught the scroll with her left hand, and then tossed it onto the now full stump, the scroll pushing one of the D-rank scrolls off the stump. She then smiled back at Dean, she couldn't let a mere injury push herself too far down after all.*

"I think I'll be fine, thank you for your concern anyways though."

*She then nodded as Dean gave her the instructions for the newest jutsu, but carefully notes that the jutsu required the use of her dominant hand, that is, the hand that was injured.*

Hm... this one's easy, functions similarly to the Lighting Surge jutsu I learned earlier, just stronger and completely surrounds yourself instead of just a wave in front. Okay, let's do this.

*Agnes' smile becomes more determined and her eyes narrow with a serious look as she begins to concentrate Raiton chakra into her right hand... which doesn't cause much pain to it. She chooses to ponder upon that later as the second and third wave of chakra funnels through her arm, creating a few sparks of electricity to become visibly formed upon it. Timing her hand slam carefully to trap the opponent into the jutsu, she slams her right hand down right as the clone enters a distance of four meters from herself, thus making him too deep in to properly avoid the jutsu while allowing the jutsu to strike the clone before the clone could strike her. The shock charges around Agnes, hitting the clone and sending it tumbling backwards, poofing as it hits the ground. Agnes then smiles brightly as she looks at Dean, her newest explanation was due.*

"Well, this jutsu is the big brother of the Lightning Surge jutsu, in that it's of a higher rank, possesses more power, is capable of much stronger paralyzing and tumbling power, and completely surrounds the user instead of merely creating a wave in front of the user. Thus, it retains many of the same advantages and disadvantages as the Lightning Surge jutsu. Both of these jutsus depend upon the functions of the hands properly slamming onto the ground before the jutsu is released, and thus pushing the opponent up into the air by using the Doton basic jutsu, or disrupting their balance by using the Great Wind Breakthrough jutsu are two methodologies through which one may accomplish this basic goal, although the latter is only effective if the user has a specialty within the Fuuton element. If the opponent does not, then the Violent Whirlwind jutsu if suffice for a similar purpose. Otherwise, a large scale Fuuton jutsu, such as the Great Wind Breakthrough, or a Fuuton jutsu capable of efficiently targeting the ground, such as the Vacuum Sphere jutsu, are the best methods to avoid this jutsu, as are jutsus that push you into the air, such as a properly timed Doton pillar or Hurricane Fist jutsu, or move you out of range of this jutsu. Keep in mind that this jutsu can travel through water efficiently, and thus using Suiton jutsus to travel away from the jutsu itself, such as the Azure Water Stream jutsu, are too dangerous to use against this jutsu, as most shinobi will use this in close range, and thus electrocute you if you're using this jutsu. The other thing to note is that, unlike the Lightning Surge jutsu which depends upon both hands slamming onto the ground to initiate this jutsu, this one only needs your dominant hand slamming onto the ground in order to send the jutsu toward your opponent. This is really advantageous, as this frees your other hand to prepare shinobi tools to send in a secondary attack, or to defend your position or deflect the opponent's tools, yet if your dominant hand is in any way compromised, as mine nearly was, it then negates the usage of this jutsu. Other than that, this jutsu is actually quite efficient, easy, quick, versatile, and just plain cool, as I can now emulate the old Diablo rings of ice, except now with electricity :D"

*She then looks to her left and her right, and then at Dean, before taking a quick sip of gin... a slight blush formed as she sipped it.*

Detective L · Dec 27, 2014

She was a strong girl after all, brushing off her previous injury as nothing. Dean knew she was probably still hurting, but she didn't want to show it. Dean wasn't going to go hard on her, but he thought she might see it as an insult, so he decided to just go on as usual. Dean threw another scroll as he started speak.

"Well done, Agnes. You never cease to amaze me. Anyway, here is the technique you just learned."

"Now for the first B rank technique. We are actually progressing well. The technique starts off by manipulating your Lightning chakra and forming the Ox hand seal. Once you have done so, you will release your Lightning chakra in front of you, whilst holding your hands out. This generates a wall of Lightning energy in front of you, in order to defend against certain techniques. Best used to shock opponents who try and use close quarters combat. The wall of Lightning would deliver massive shocks, so take that into account too. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Agnes.

Nice signature. Where is it from?

Cabbage · Jan 7, 2015

The signature's the new Cid from Final Fantasy XV

*Agnes right hand now begins to throb with pain, with every half-minute or so increasing the pain ever slightly. Agnes winces slightly as Dean bestow upon her some new compliments. She only partially pays attentions and swiftly catches the new scroll before tossing it hastily towards the stump, missing it by several feet toward its front. As the scroll lands, she listens at Dean's new instructions for the next jutsu. However, she began to hear each throb of the hand, making only hearing the basics of the jutsu. Thus, as Dean's clone began to run after her, she began to stumble in her thoughts, trying to develop a proper enough story for the next jutsu.*

Um... um... *Agnes begins to funnel chakra into both of her hands as she thinks, knowing for a fact that only a few jutsus learned thus far didn't need that step.* Was it Bird... no Dragon... wait, yes, it was an Ox hand seal, and then you hold out your hands... *She formed an Ox hand seal as she continues, the clone closing in.* And then you form a hill... no wait, it was a wall... yes, that's it! *She then held out both of her hand and released the stored chakra, causing a stream of lightning to charge out to about four feet in front of her. It then begins to accumulate upwards and outwards, about six feet up and three feet both left and right, to form an electrified wall, which the clone conveniently runs into, causing it to be paralyzed rather swiftly before poofing away. Agnes then lowers her hands, her right hand's thumping becoming unbearable, and breaths visibly for a few seconds.*

Agnes, we can do this, we can finish this, don't coward out, Guv fought heroically for us, and he even suffered permanent burns for our sake. It was a miracle he survived... but still, if he can live through that, this is an academic student's challenge, and to lose to this would be completely unacceptable. So let's begin.

*Agnes takes a deep breath before beginning.*

"This jutsu is relatively simpler to perform than some other jutsus I've learned thus, such as the lightning levitation blades jutsu. The only two portions required for the usage of this jutsu are the performance of the Ox hand seal and the holding out with your hands, thus making this jutsu relatively swift in usage. Yet, the wall, although quick in formation, isn't instataneous, as the electricity needs to accumulate upon itself in order to form the wall, thus this is better used to counter a swift charge in your direction of block a weaker jutsu from approaching your position than it is to counter an actual taijutsu attack in a more heated circumstance." *Agnes winces from pain before continuing.* Also to note is that this jutsu needs to have some distance from your position, as the opponent or physical object colliding with this jutsu will cause a large shock to consume it. However, because there's no magic gate on your side of the wall, the shock will be circular, meaning that any careless user of this jutsu may very well be shocked as well if they are in the surrounding area. Lastly, if the opponent manages to interrupt the stream of electricity while the jutsu is being formed, then the wall itself isn't going to be formed. Other than that, the typical warning of losing your vision to the wall itself is always valid, as a clever opponent can use it to their advantage in order to perform hand seals and then deliver a powerful attack of overwhelm the wall and cause great damage to yourself, or create a clone and then confuse the user, or to cast genjutsu, or to make tea, or even coffee."

*Agnes then drinks the entire remaining bottle of gin, a reddish hue covering each of her cheeks. The throbbing was only nulled for a short time though...*

Detective L · Jan 10, 2015

Agnes quickly analysed the next technique with ease, and so Dean saw that it was time to continue. She was still doing as good as she started out, which is a good sign too. She didn't get lazy as they progressed, but rather more motivated and determined to master this dangerous element. With a flick, Dean launched his scroll towards Agnes, and continued to talk.

"Well done, once more, Agnes. I'd have to say, your analysis is very good. Here you go."

"Now the next technique carries some similarities to the previous technique. The technique starts off by manipulating your Lightning based chakra, to create a half dome of Lightning before you. This dome of Lightning can be pushed forward towards the opponent where it is similar to a wave of Lightning and carries both paralyzing and shocking properties. The dome of Lightning also has momentum, that is capable of pushing the opponent back, so that's always plus. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Agnes.

*Agnes smiles as Dean compliments her yet again, at least her effort isn't going un-noticed or unwanted. It somehow made the throbbing slightly better as well, perhaps it was that as she put in more effort into the training, it shifted her mind away from the pain of her right hand. As Agnes catches the scroll with her right hand, a slight pinch of pain was felt as she place a gripping pressure onto it, thus proving to her that it still existed... She swiftly tosses the scroll onto the stump, overcrowded with scrolls by this point, and focuses on Dean's instructions. Her eyes met his perfectly, her body somewhat tense, the pain was making it difficult to retain the same disposition as she started this training with, but she wanted to finish it. She wanted, no needed, to finish this training without breaks, to prove that she can be on a similar level as Guv.*

This new jutsu seems almost exactly like the previous one, except without handseals. Alright, this one will be easy.

*She then begins to focus chakra into both of her arms as Dean's newest clone begins to charge at her. The waves come even more frequently than before, reaching the final third wave before Dean's clone could even approach close range to her position. She, thus funnels the chakra out of her arms by sprawling out the fingers of both of her hands, causing a half dome to surround her front. It reaches a length of one meter on either direction, and at its peak, a meter forward, the entire dome being made about a meter from her position. She then pushed her hands forward, with her right leg being bent forward as she does so, causing the dome to be propelled forward, clashing into the clone as it reaches close range. This causes the clone to be pushed back, both electrocuting and paralyzing it before causing it to poof away. Agnes then lowers her hands back to her sides, and sighs quietly, looking back at Dean with the same determination as before. Her hand still throbs, but its pain is now sub-conscious. She smiles more brightly than she has for a while, assemblying the same brightness as she had far earlier in this training.*

Ah-ha! See, that was easy enough, and this explanation will be a breeze as well.

*She then places her hands behind her lower back, and tilts her head ever so slightly to the left before beginning her new explanation.*

"Well, Dean-sensei, this jutsu is actually one of the best you've taught me thus far for a plethora of different reasons, the main being that this jutsu is a highly improved version of the previous jutsu. The first reason for this is that there are no hand seals needed to use this jutsu, which makes this jutsu far more swift in implementation than the previous jutsu. Also, this jutsu can be pushed away from yourself, thus pushing the opponent back and giving you some space away from the opponent. Both of these differences actually gives this newest jutsu a different character from the previous jutsu."

*She begins to pace back and forth as she continues her explanation.*

"The previous jutsu was a static wall that was unable to be moved from its previous position, yet still needed to be maintained with a constant stream of chakra. This stream of chakra, though, allowed the wall to retain its largish size, as well as deliver potent shocks onto any aggressive projectile or opponent that had the audacity to strike at the wall. However, because of its lack of mobility, an opponent can trap the user into being forced to either retain the wall, or else lose the wall, and thus their defense. To give an example of what I'm talking about, an opponent may first send in any type of clone and charge at you after using a jutsu that blinds you from their position, such as the hidden mist jutsu. This will probably make you think that the opponent is heading straight for a Taijutsu fight, thus making you use this jutsu. However, the opponent can, then, catch you on one of your flanks, and use a long-range Katon jutsu, such as the Dragon Flame Release Song jutsu. The reason the opponent would use a long-range Katon jutsu mostly has to do with the relationship Katon and Raiton have with one-another, allowing jutsus of each type to mostly go through one-another, although the Katon jutsu I gave is actually one of the exceptions, being that it's physical in nature."

"However, this newest jutsu would prevent this strategy from working as well, and it all has to do with its mobile dome shape. The peak of the dome would strike the clone as you push it forward before the opponent would have the time to catch you at your flank. Thus you would be able to both stop the clone and the jutsu stream, instead of having to choose one or the other. Another advantage this jutsu holds over the previous one is that, because of the dome nature, anything that strikes at this jutsu's peak would cause the electricity to strike mostly at the upper edge of the dome. This means that this jutsu holds a lesser risk of electrocuting the user than the previous jutsu."

*Agnes then takes a quick breath before continuing. Her hand still throbs, but she still doesn't notice this anymore. She also turns to Dean again, preparing the finale of her explanation.*

"This jutsu holds the same flaws as the previous jutsu, being that one needs to continually funnel chakra into this jutsu for it to function correctly. The other flaw is that this jutsu holds a worse vision problem than the previous jutsu, given its dome nature. However, I've expatiated upon these flaws in previous explanations, and these are the only ones I'm currently able to think of I'm afraid. All in all, this is quite a good jutsu to use."

*Agnes smiles as she straightens her head. Her arms drop by her side, but she notices that the bandage covering her right hand is somewhat blackened...*

Detective L · Jan 22, 2015

Agnes' explanation fills the silent area, as she speaks to Dean with confidence. Her explanation, as good as always, laying out the advantages, disadvantages and usage in battle with such grace. This girl was so different from the rest of Dean's students, her ability to analyse a technique was quite interesting, and Dean thought to himself, had he been this good when he started out, how far would he have been. These thoughts crossed Dean's mind, as he remembers himself, younger and still so full of life. Lately, he's become darker, and less talkative. It was perhaps the effect of the Keigoku. Though Dean never was one to show that he had almost lost his humanity, no, he always made jokes and was as sarcastic as always. With a quick flick, Dean launched the scroll towards Agnes. His deep thoughts almost got him, he had to give his full attention to Agnes now.

"Agnes, well done. You're analysis was great, here you go."

"Now Agnes, the next technique is quite a useful one due to how it is produced. The technique starts off by gathering your Lightning chakra around your fist, which generates a sphere of pure Lightning around it. This sphere of Lightning can be launched towards the opponent in the form of a punch (in short range) which unleashes the Lightning in the form of a localized electrical explosion. A useful technique, and quite simple to use against Earth constructs before you or to simply electrocute your opponent with a super punch of sorts. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Agnes.
