Greetings, I am Shade Dracova.
Today I will be passing on my art to you. So to begin I want you to find the finest metal possible. It doesnt have to be specific but keep in mind the type of metal you choose will affect the shape and form of your scythe. Once you choose your metal, bring it to me and we will begin the process of creating your scythe.

I wander all around the NW, visit every country only to reject all the metals available at the blacksmith's. They were simply not unique. They simply broke at the slightest application of pressure or stress. Until recently when I came back to Kusagakure, I found what I wanted. Stuck in an ancient stone, was a rare metal that appears once in a century. I quickly carry the entire stone with the metal to the blacksmith to take out the metal from it. I then carry the metal to Shade.

As you give the stone to me, I realize the rarity and quality of the stone. I grab your hand and place it on the metal as I do with my own. A light begins to emit from the stone and just like that. The metal has turned into a fin e scythe. "Now I want you to tell me how you would use a scythe in a normal battle against a sword wielder" Shade said.
"A scythe has an advantage that no sword has. It can be wielded both normally and reverse grip method, and still do more damage. The design of a normal scythe is such that it can be used to defend as well as attack the opponent in both the griping methods. A scythe wielder also has longer reach as compared to a sword wielder which can be put to use in a sword vs scythe match." I blurt out whatever comes to my mind at that point of time.

With this art you wield you scythe with one hand and use it supplementary. While keeping that in mind. Explain how you would use that in battle?

"With my fighting style we have a certain standard for users of my art. You must be very flexible, have excellent relfexes, and tolareant to pain. I have a training regime that will help you achieve all this. Please describe how you do each task and have it numbered please Do all that I tell you and you will be ready to learn to fight like a Reaper." It is listed inside this scroll" Shade said as he handed you a scroll with writing on it. It reads as follows
1. Limber up your body
2. Circulate chakra through your body and scythe causing your body to rush putting you in a state similar to an adrenaline rush
3. Stab yourself multiple times without passing out to create a tolernace for pain.
4. Counter the following move to improve your relfexes
Shade pounces at you holding his scythe in his right hand. Shade horizontally swings his scythe towards you in a way that the blade would be behind you at the end of his swing. As the handle hits you, I pull the scythe towards myself while lunging at you with a strong punch coming from my opposite hand.

I take the scroll from Shade and read it. The scroll talks about various activities that the user must perform before learning the art. I start by completing each of the tasks one by one.
1. I quickly start jogging on the spot. As I do this, I swing rotate my arms to loosen them up. Once done, I kick the air to loosen my legs as well. After performing a set of push ups, I look at the scroll for the next task.
2. I then hold my new scythe in my right hand as I channel chakra throughout my body, and then into the weapon. I channel chakra into my head as I swing the blade, to feel the sudden rush of blood, like adrenaline rush. I swing the blade swiftly and fluently with great speed as I enjoy this new feel.
3. I then take out a small knife from my pocket and stab my thigh. The pain initially feels too much to bear. However over time, the pain reduces. I stab the knife again into my hand. This time, I feel the pain is lesser. I then take my scythe and stab myself in the back. I tolerate the pain as much as I could. I keep continue doing this till I no longer feel the same pain and till I am drenched with blood all over my body.
4. I then look at shade after reading the scroll. As he swings his blade horizontally, I wait for the opportune moment and then duck, thus avoiding the hit from the handle. The momentum of the swing would carry the blade further away from me and taking advantage of which, I lunge my scythe to his stomach area, stopping exactly an inch in front of it.

Remember that with this fighting style,in a close combat battle the final blow is always dealt with the users bare hands. The scythe is used as a supplementary tool to deflect and create opening. Re-do #4
Ok cool.
4. As shade swings his scythe, I duck in time to avoid the swing of the scythe. As the momentum carries the scythe forwards, I punch my scythe held in my right hand against his, clashing the back part of his scythe with my front most part, keeping his weapon against me, as I jump dash towards Shade and punch him with my left hand.

Now finally we will have a short battle. All the basic rules, free form. Only weapon you have is your fist and you must win by delivering the final blow with a punch or kick. This shows that you have full understanding of the art. Your move first.
I stand facing you, with the scythe held firmly in my left hand. Without any notice, I dash towards you zig-zagging my way so that it becomes difficult for you to follow my attack. As I come closer, I appear to your left and swing the scythe in a diagonal fashion aiming your chest region. I keep my right arm ready, knowing that you will defend against the attack.

I hold my my scythe with my right hand as I watch you come at me. I see your projected simple diagonal slash and simply pivot on my right foot and move my shoulder back easily dodging your slash. I see your right arm ready so I simply push the hilt of my scythe into the joint connecting your forearm and bicep with locks it in place. As I have your free arm locked so cant throw a hook, I pivot with my right foot again to create momentum for the left knee I deliver to your stomach area sending you back a few feet. I look at you with a bored expression. " You must realize that as a master or the art I have enhanced reflexes. You must become unorthodox with you attacks if you plan to land a blow on me".
(Keep in mind, you also have enhanced reflexes and pain tolerance just not on the same level as me. This is a test to become a master.)

(Bdw if you didn't notice I'm holding my scythe in my left hand and I moved to your left. Which makes my right hand further away from you. However assuming that I moved to your right, your move makes sense lol. So lets go with that.)
As you push the hilt into my joint, it locks my arm from moving ahead. At that point I notice you putting pressure on your right leg to move your left leg. Instinctively thanks to my enhanced reflexes, I catch the hilt of your scythe with my free hand and push it down to intercept your kick in time. As I do this, I swing the scythe back towards you, in a horizontal slash, aiming your lower spine. I gain my footing as I then stand before you.

(I locked the joint of you free hand and you grab the hilt of my scythe and use it to block my kick?)
1. It was a knee so it would be tighter and more inside leaving really no space to block with my own scythe.
2. How did you grab my scythe if it pressed against your joint?
I will go along though. No more mistakes
______________________________________________________________________________________
As you block my knee I quickly bring it back to the ground while gaining control of my scythe and planting the end directly on the floor while grabbing your free hand that is on my scythe. I then notice tension in your left arm as you begin to swing you scythe back at me( this wouldnt be very fasr as you would have to fight the momentum of you swinging it in the opposite direction). So as I use my scythe to balance myself, I jump while bringing my knees to my chest and lay back as if i were doing a crunch aligning the sole of my feet with your chest plates. As you miss your second swing, I kick out both my feet into your chest as I release your hand and grab a higher section of my hilt kicking you away and getting you off my scythe. I rotate my body and land on my feet. Without hesitation, I jump pounce at you and horizontally slice your ankles rendering you footless.
"Stop relying on your scythe for fatal blows, with such a large weapon it simple will not happen I assure you. The scythe is supplementary. The true power lies in the human body."

(Yes)
1. I didn't understand...but its okay xD
2. Well, why can't I? It presses against my elbow joint (on the inside), which makes it possible for me to grab the hilt with my hand
(Yeah, lets move on)
As you grab my free hand with your free hand, I twist it to grabs yours, such that it is locked by each other. As I swing my left arm, I notice you applying pressure to your legs and jump again, to avoid my attack. As the momentum carries you upwards, I quickly pull you towards myself, effectively shaking off your balance and perform a headbutt to your nose. With the pain tolerance, I don't feel anything even if I suffer slight damage on my head. The attack would cause you broken nose as you would bleed profusely.
Would this suffice?

This is such a sloppy and confusing battle. Im sorry, you pass. You are now a master so we will move on to the first technique ready?
