arrives at the training grounds and waits for his Sensei. He finds a bench and sits down. He could have chosen the stump he passed a few meters away but, there was something odd about it.

Another letter came for John, John seems to be quite popular as of late with these training requests, or whatever it may be. The letter was from one Mr. Kresnik, what John wasn't aware is that he would have to travel to the outskirts of the village in the sand, the village hidden in the mist. He didn't want to go there that much, too much sand for his own taste. But started to travel there anyway.
Hello, my name is John, are you Berserker or something?
John stood still awaiting the man's reply to his question.
So John followed the letter completely and ended up in the right place it seems. John then walks up to the man sitting on the bench and says.
Hello, my name is John, are you Berserker or something?
John stood still awaiting the man's reply to his question.
Um no.... says Ludger, as he turns his attention to John who appeared before him. He wasn't sure who this Berserker fellow was but, he is definitely sure that that is not the name his family gave him. He goes on to ask the stranger if he is knew of a Sensei by the name of John. He told him he is expecting him here and that he is ready to train in this mysterious power that he does not yet fully understand. (Nice letter btw lol)
If that's what its called...Yeah, I'am Ludger said, as he gets up and looks at John with seriousness. He is determined to master this power as it may prove useful to himself and his village. He was ready for this, he just needed to wait for his Sensei to arrive so they could begin. Suddenly the thought came to him, Ludger gives off a confused look on his face and asked the man how he knew what this power was.

My question though...:devil: Ludger goes to tell the stranger what he knows. All he knew was that the element combined the fire and earth nature types. He could produce the material from an earth source or from his own body. Ludger also tells the man that the element manifests itself as black steel and he goes on to say that he can use it to make various constructs, and even manipulate it to have it perform other tasks.
Short and on point. But good none the less. I don't think I need to go to indepth... so what I want now is that you try a simple task, this task is gathering up both fire and earth chakra, one chakra nature in each hand and slowly merge them together till you get a dark sliver almost black like substance, it should be rock hand.
Rock hand?...Ludger wasn't too sure about this but, he goes nonetheless. Looking around, he notices a random rock a few feet away, on the ground. He picks it up and uses it for practice. Holding the rock in his right hand, Ludger begins. He focuses fire chakra into his left hand while focusing earth chakra into the rock in his right hand. He brings his hands to together and applies his fire chakra into the rock but, not before turning the rock into a earth jelly-like state. Then he uses the fire to manipulate the rock's shape. He starts to shape the rock into a small hand ball and solidifies it. The rock also starts to turn into a black color. Once the merging process is completely done, Ludger shows John in his right hand, a black ball which also appears harder, much harder than the rock when it was in its base form.

I mean rock hard, oops. Anyway good, time to start with some techniques.
OOC: All I want you to do is perform the techniques, and ask questions if you have them.
So, to begin with something simple, this first technique is very similar to Earth release technique. Pretty much the same thing apart from the swords and kunai that can be throw or used for hand to sword combat, and the hand gestures part, that also differs from the earth one.
(Kōton no Jutsu) Steel Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Allows the user to, through the use of hand gestures, produce small objects, pillars, weapons, etc, made of black steel, from their body or from the earth. The constructs are as hard as a normal kunai and swords and can be thrown at a target physically.

OOC: Okay and can I grind the steel and turn it into particles and dust?
Crouching down, Ludger puts the ball on the ground to one side and then proceeds to slam his hands on the ground. He focuses his earth chakra first to turn the ground under his hands into a jelly-like state. He lets his hands sink in and allows the earth to cover his hands. Then focusing his fire chakra, he manipulates the earth while taking his hands out of the ground, and creates a pair of clawed gloves upon refining it, made of black steel. A claw is formed on each finger tip and Ludger makes sure the gloves can come off and aren't fused to his hands but, also making sure they aren't too loose that they can easily slide out. Ludger also made sure the movement of his hands/fingers weren't restricted by the gloves so that he could make full use of them. I can change the shape and form if you want?....

OOC: No you can't do that.
No, that is good. Well done.
(Kōton: Toami) Steel Release: Fish Net
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After 1 handseal (Bird), the user is able to produce a black steel net from his/her hands, which can be thrown towards the opponent to pin him to the ground.
Okay so perform the single seal, your steel chakra will produce a black steel net thing from your hands, use it on my clone that is near you, this technique is good since it can pin and trap them to the ground, and you can follow up with another attack, the range is a little iffy but then most battles are from mid-range.
No, that is good. Well done.

OOC: Okay then can I manipulate steel cables? Sorry if my questions seem odd, I just find the element really interesting lol
Moving on to the next technique, Ludger makes the bird hand-seal while molding the fire and earth chakra within his own body. Ludger spreads his legs apart and brings his hands in while clenching them, almost as if he were preparing to throw a punch with both hands. Once he is ready, Ludger moves his arms forward and opens his hands, releasing two small nets from the palms of his hands, both made of black steel which repel and pin John's clone into the ground. Ha!

OOC: They can probably be manipulated like that, but not too drastic.
(Kōton: Kase) Steel Release: Shackles
Rank: C
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user does 2 handseals (Bird+Ram) focusing chakra beneath the opponent, shaping the ground into several (up to 5) shackles that shoot up to grab the enemy. The shackles are linked to chains that remain connected to the ground. Once they grab the opponent, the user can clap his hands, forcefully pulling the shackles and chains to the ground, effectively pinning the opponent to the ground, restrained by the steel chains.
Again, just perform the required seals. Start focusing your steel chakra below my clone; and by using shape manipulation on the said ground below create up to five black steel shackles that will grab hold of him and keep him in place, so if you chose to create five, two can on on his legs, two on his arms and one around his neck, but it's all up to the user. You can then clap your hands causing the shackles to pull back forcefully that are attached to chains and ceasing all movement in my clone, so you can use another attack similar in a way to the net.

OOC: Alright, thanks.
Ludger begins by weaving the signs bird then ram and focuses his earth and fire chakra into the ground where John's clone laid. He closes his eyes while molding his chakra and visualizes chains that extend through the ground with the cuffs open. Using his earth chakra he "carves" strips of the earth from inside the ground and converts it into a jelly-like mud form before applying his fire chakra to manipulate, shape, and harden the material into black steel. Afterwards he has the steel shoot out from the ground and restrain his arms and legs, creating a total of 4 chains that cuff his wrists and ankles.

(Kōton: Tama Ishuu) Steel Release: Bullet Swarm
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: After 2 handseals (Bird+Tiger), the user is able to shot out up to a dozen metal bullets from his/her body. They move as fast as arrows and can be shot in a radial manner or a focused manner, from any part of the body the user intends to.
Perform the two seals, start focusing your steel chakra all around your body, and use shape manipulation to turn the chakra into steel bullets, that you will shoot towards my clone, you can shoot up to 12, and you can shoot them all at once, or in a more focused movement, aiming for different body parts. Neat technique, range is great.

Ludger following John's instruction, makes two hand-seals before holding up his hands and extending his arms. He makes a gun from each hand like how the Hozuki clan's water gun technique is initiated. He proceeds to focus his steel chakra into each hand, flowing a liquid-like black steel from each of his index fingers. Ludger finishes by aiming his finger guns downward towards John's clone and condenses the liquid-like steel, before firing it with tremendous speed, piercing through the clone's chest as he is helpless to make any sort of evasive maneuver due to the net and chains holding him down.

(Kōton: Kasui Sanran) Steel Release: Spike Spawn
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: After 1 handseal (Horse), the user is able to make a great number of black steel spikes rise up from a point in the ground within range. These spikes are very sharp and may be as big long as 2 meters.
Okay with this one, perform the seal, this technique allows you to create a big number of steel spikes that rise from the ground, this technique of course will only go up to the range it says, which makes it limited, but the size of each spike is good, and the fact that this technique doesn't say how many a great number is, it could be anything.
