CHOP'S DREAMS roll throughout his mind like LAVA down a CRAGGED SLOPE. That is, UNTIL IMAGES of ARMS WOVEN AROUND SLEEPING SURFACES and PUNY PRINCESS PUFF PUPPETS pop the STEEL COATED BUBBLE OF FORMER IMAGES that are now FOREVER LOST like CHOP'S MERCY TOWARDS THOSE WHO AWAKEN HIM.

>"....Is that rhetorical, Princess? I don't think he's asleep. I don't think he sleeps, ever."
>"Oh come on! We're here so early, though! The moon has a ways to go before getting to the horizon, and the candles here aren't even lit. And... d... do you wanna draw on his face? Oo, or check out his bedroom?"

>"... okay, maybe he's asleep. And yes. Yes, I would like to doom us to some kind of painful, probably coal-related fate. Still, there's gotta be other people here. This place is always trashed at the end of the day, and everyone leaves, but when we come back? Spotless."

Inquire if your students have any information regarding this alarming irregularity. Then give them their first task to begin when they have finished eating, while you leave to retrieve Punylocks.

Punylocks' portion of the food is not to be kept warm for her. Those who are LATE can expect cold food if they are very lucky. Or no food at all. Food shall be kept warm for the very late, in the form of a meal of hot coals.

She has PUNY HORNS and PUNY EARS and PRACTICES THE COWARD'S ART OF MAGIC WITH WATER, but is STRONG ENOUGH OF HEART to NOT BE A COWARD when PRACTICING THE WAY OF A WARRIOR, so you will IGNORE HER COWARDLY POWER and instead FOCUS ON HER PUNY STRENGTHS THAT GROW AT PUNY RATES.

Chop's CURRENT STRATEGY is STEAM AND SMOKE to get the LUNGS STRONGER and OPEN THE PORES SO HER STRENGTH CAN STRIKE AT ALL POINTS. The HEAT OF THE BATTLE will also help to KILL THE ENEMY THAT IS SO PUNY CHOP CANNOT EVEN SEE IT WITH HIS VERY STRONG EYES, as Chop knows that THESE TINY ENEMIES CANNOT STAND THE HEAT.

To be NAMED TRUE by one's teacher is a sign that one has been acknowledged as being able to stand on one's own! For CHOP to refer to his students by name before then, even to others, would be to MAKE LIGHT of the ACHIEVEMENTS which they strive to attain! By stepping into the dojo, and choosing to return there again, Chop's students have accepted that they are SOFT CLAY, to be DEFTLY PUMMELED into works of MARTIAL ART - and an artist does not give their works their proper name until they are completed!!

All that the healer need concern himself is whether THE DUTIES OF CHOP ARE BEING DUTIFULLY FULFILLED, and he can be assured that Chop's NAMING CONVENTIONS are part of this effort, as are his attempts to DISCERN WHAT ILLNESS ASSAILS HIS SEMI-DRACONIAN STUDENT.

Well, no, these six came from outside camps. Chop probably bathes/showers often enough that the water would have to be plentiful enough for everybody to do it.

VERY WELL, since PUNYLOCKS is a WIZARD OF WATER, she shall CAST UPON HER ALLIES HARMLESS WATER SPELLS. They shall IMITATE THE DRAWING and PRETEND IT IS A PRANK that they are PRETENDING TO BE ENJOYING so as to SEEM TO BE COOLING OFF. They shall RUB THE WATER INTO THEIR FUR and CONTINUE THIS for HUNDREDS OF MINUTES until CHOP SAYS ENOUGH, at which point CHOP EXPECTS A REAL ANSWER.

PAY HEED. Illness is spread by INVISIBLE GHOSTS that are attracted by FILTH. Beginning from one ALREADY POSSESSED BY SICKNESS, or any of their leavings, the ghost INVADES your body and, if your body is not SUFFICIENTLY STRONG, it will take hold! These ghosts are MANY in variety, but there are several that give away their ghostly nature by causing the unfortunate host to expel ECTOPLASMIC HUMORS. A true WARRIOR BODY, healthy both inside and out, will repel these ghosts, though they may yet pass the vile spirit to another while the initial battle rages!

By GROOMING, with water or, if water is in short supply, steam or sand, you remove both FILTH and any UNREMARKED LEAVINGS OF ILLNESS that one may not realize has gotten on their body. Eliminating these does not guarantee safety from INVISIBLE GHOSTS, but reduces their ability to gain purchase greatly! Consider the act of BATHING as the regular patrol of sentries around a camp. A truly skilled enemy might yet penetrate, but the effort is still more than worthwhile! In addition, you will all smell better, which will improve your FOCUS, which is as just demonstrated often lacking!

Also, beware INVINCIBLE GOATS, for reasons that are SELF-EVIDENT.

>Is soap even a thing cave-dwelling kobolds have?
In the RARE OCCURENCE of TRADING, we have EXPERIENCED THE USAGE OF SOAP. However, its MANUFACTURING SECRETS HAVE ELUDED OUR GREATEST INVENTORS.

We BATHE with WATER, SPIRIT, and POLISHED ROCK.

Though 'WE' is NOT AS INCLUSIVE as CHOP'S HOPES have WISHED.

>If they do not know about the basics that means that no one here probably does.
ALL RESPECTABLE WARRIORS and EVEN NON-WARRIORS OF THE CAVE have been CONFIRMED FOR HYGENIC COMPETENCE. That the SMELLY EARTHWORMS OF KOBOLDS remain as such this far into WARRIOR TRAINING SIGNIFIES A FAILURE OF CHOP'S OWN RESPONSIBILITY. This FAILURE will meet IMMINENT DESTRUCTION BY CHOP'S OWN WILL.

"WRONGGGG. This KOBOLD OF ATTRACTIVE SMELL is DRIVING BACK THE DIRT MENACE THAT PLAGUES HIS BODY."

What? You said that WARRIORS did not need the POWERS OF A WEAK WIZARD, not to STOP PRACTICING THEM. If you HAVE THE POWER, then MAKE IT STRONG. Make yourself into a POWERFUL WARRIOR MAGE, rather than a WEAK AND SCRAWNY ONE.

Unacceptable. She should be keeping up with her magical studies in her free time. Chop cannot deny magic's usefulness so to keep her from getting rusty like this she should have like 10 minutes of practice after gym time each day. No sacrifices of physical training, but she can train her magic.

Actually considering her physical training is sub-par due to the sickness perhaps she can focus mainly on magical training until she's better. How about some target practice for starters? After everyone's taken some goddamn baths anyway.

NO. CHOP said to stop RELYING on WATER MAGIC. Puny students will not get STRONGER if they use one ability EXCLUSIVELY to cover for other WEAKNESSES. But this does not mean one should make themselves WEAKER by discarding an ability altogether!

A WARRIOR must train BODY and MIND. First Punylocks allowed her body to suffer by focusing on her mind, now her mind has suffered by focusing on body. She must learn to excel at EVERYTHING at the SAME TIME.

Maybe a schedule for the students of one day of INTENSE WARRIOR BODY TRAINING under you, and another day of CRUSHING THE INADEQUACIES OF THEIR WARRIOR MINDS under this guy, and they alternate?
But, the matter at hand. Let's try to clear our mind. This is actually quite difficult. You may be unable to MASTER YOUR WANDERING PSYCHE even after fifteen minutes. But here's how I do it.
Picture a pure black space in your head. Put something simple in the middle, like a FIST or something. That's you.
Now, try not to think about ANYTHING except that little fist in that dark spot. You will. What you do then is, when the thoughts floating around in the black space get close enough to your FIST, you EXPELL THEM using your MENTAL MIGHT REPRESENTED BY A FIST PUNCHING THE IDEAS OUT OF THE BLACK SPACE.

This is ridiculous. Proper form is important, sure, but speed is far more important. Power comes in third, but overwhelming power can make up for sloppy form. Also, there's a hard cap to keeping proper form. There is none for speed and power, save what is physically possible for the trainee.

While this will prove that even THE PUNIEST OF KOBOLD FISTS can deliver MIGHTY BLOWS, this will also DELIVER A MIGHTY BLOW TO CHOP'S COVER EARLY ON. Nonetheless, CHOP FINDS THIS IDEA TEMPTING, and can CALL MEDICAL WIZARDS TO ATTEND TO A CRYING LOVE GNOLL.

Keep in mind that you are much lower to the ground than usual! You will need to adjust your fighting style so as to be sure not to just punch straight ahead, as I'm sure you're used to. Instead, you must punch up!
Because punching straight ahead at that height would hit him right in his GONADS, which isn't okay during a training exercise.

I thought Lumei was taller than that, and was just sitting down or something.
CHOP should remember that he is posing as PUNYLOCKS right now, who is a WARRIOR WIZARD. While Chop can only cast MAGIC OF THE FISTS, he should keep in mind that PUNY WIZARDS ARE NOT AS STRONG AS WARRIORS, and SHOW THE MIGHTY STRENGTH OF HIS RESTRAINT and FOLLOW ORDERS LIKE A GOOD SOLDIER.

The problem is Chop is this other instructor seems to teach the soft ways of the fist. Unlike the GLORIOUS hard ways of Chop, this sissy style is for lovebolds and little princesses who don't want to get dirty and rough. In any case, give a good thrust to knock down the lovegnoll among a mighty shout. And then maybe ask the instructor how he would knock down the lovegnoll. (Really I'm seeing Chop as a teacher of hard martial arts and this new one dealing with soft marital arts. The fighting styles and empathizes are different in each case and may fit the builds of some students better. I'm of the mind to send the sissy weak ones who can't handle Chop's MIGHTY KOBOLDNESS to be conditioned here. But find a way to maintain standards. )

We hardly have any idea of how this instructor teaches until they've had time to find the strengths and weaknesses of their students and to get things kicked into gear. They're starting with the basics to have a "net" of sorts to catch any stragglers with. Although from the looks of it, it won't accelerate for a little while. Take the comment from Kissy Face Two, "and once I can feel my back enough to deal with Chop", also, you explore their limits by pushing their limits, as the very nature of improvement demands, and things like proper breathing and mental calmness follow. Things would definitely look soft at the beginning when you flipped it around.

The ultimate point where things top out depends on the instructor, and since it takes a while for this method to kick into gear it is going to take a while to see how far it goes with this one.

Be patient, if this instructor is of any serious merit they will identify you as one at a higher level during this process and seek to push you harder as necessary. We need to look over more than the cover of the book, and we haven't even finished reading the first word of the title yet.

NONETHELESS, Chop shall employ MAXIMUM RESTRAINT to maintain THE DISCRETION OF A KOBOLD IN A DWARVEN DEN.

ALL WEAKLINGS practice ONE HUNDRED TINY PUNCHES, then employ AFOREMENTIONED TINY PUNCHES on LOVEGNOLL, reminiscent of A DRIZZLE ATOP A BOULDER.

I've had a lot of loose rocks I haven't had the time or energy to deal with, and there's enough room in the back to expand a little bit. I'm hoping to some day decorate so that I can actually invite people in. I don't think Chop will mind me exercising in his body, either, if I still practice my magic at the same time.

I start punching the rocks, and... it's a lot more effective than it should be! They crack, and I'm able to sort them out in a pile. I can probably get a net to get them out of my room, too.

Management is not responsible if perfect mental clarity and relaxation with a focus on mighty floods results in unintentionally unleashing a mighty flood of water magic.

No. 650952 ID: f8077d

Ok so knowing how to relax is important for fighting, because you want your muscles to be loose so that they move fast until just exactly the moment that a strike lands. Like, if this was training where you were being told to keep yourself loose and calm while being subjected to things that would make you tense up, that's be worth something.

But there are no such things as relaxation muscles, so this sounds like quackery. It might be a metaphor, in which case you can ask the instructor where your relaxation muscles are. No reason for you not to ask stupid-sounding questions while in this body! I mean, it might make Lumei look dumb, but you can repay her later.

No. 651340 ID: db46ec

Kinda sounds like this guy would be good as an assistant, maybe? I mean, Chop's training seems to focus on becoming strong, fast and tough, without so much good technique. Though maybe it's just what we've seen so far, that the recruits we've seen are still at an early stage where they're just being toughened up, and technique would come later.

Still, if he were a true warrior, he would have sensed Chop's might spirit within, just by the meeting of fists. Perhaps we could bait out more of his story by reminding him Lumei has trained with Chop, so that might account for the blocking, and that she would like to know more. Ask him, you thought he said he hadn't met Chop yet?

Also, Chop, you should say that now you have just realized that, since you came in late, you didn't catch his name.

This instructor does not seem to be much in the way of a fighter. Like at all. He should not be training future warriors because they will not be prepared.
That said, he might have some insight into training techniques that you have not thought of, as long as we do not start handing out breaks like they were oxygen!

Thinking about it, Perhaps his training would be better suited to people not going out on the battlefield? It might not prepare people for war but it could certainly improve general health around here, if the kobolds have free time to indulge in such things.

That's dishonest! This instructor aspires to be a great warrior, and for all those with such aspirations, one of the first rules is to know your own strengths and weaknesses, so you know what you need to do to improve! You're allowing this guy to believe he's a better fighter than he is. Wanting to take a break is one thing, but taking advantage of someone to do it is another level of terrible! How do you think he'll feel when he finds out what you really think of him? He will eventually!

There's no reason this guy can't keep teaching. Think of it this way, as things were before this guy came, anyone who wanted to learn to fight at all had to come to Chop. But Chop trains people to be full-on professional warriors, and that's not suitable for, say, some mage who wants to spend a week learning proper not-getting-stabbed-before-running-away technique. This guy's training won't make TRUE WARRIORS, but it's still better than no training at all, and would be much more manageable for people who don't want to fully dedicate themselves to being fighters. So perhaps Chop could still be the master class, and this guy could do an introductory level?

He should be shown the difference between a true warrior and his knowledge.

The instructor clearly has a lot to learn, and getting them to steal your students was not a cool move after all and something needs to be done about that.

HOWEVER, there are MANY RECRUITS. THREE come to mind.

A: STASRUBIS. This shall be a ONE SIDED FIGHT that SHALL EMBARRASS the instructor and ALL WHO HAVE THE MISFORTUNE TO WATCH SUCH A DISPLAY. HOWEVER, Stasrubis is NO PUPIL and is, instead, A RESPECTED WARRIOR.

C risks not achieving the desired effect of showing the teacher how much he has to learn. Or maybe it still will, considering the weakest student would still put up a fight. Plus if he wins, he gains honor.

Why doesn't healing magic work, anyway? I mean, I can see how it wouldn't kill off the virus or germs or whatnot, maybe even make them stronger, but the symptoms of illness are caused by the tissue damage brought about by the viral reproduction or the toxins that germs release as waste. A cure spell should at least clear the mage's head for long enough to cast the spell. And if it makes the illness stronger, well, the immune system should be increased to match. It's a nonlethal illness anyway, so a few days extra sickness for the mage is a small price compared to permanent body dysphoria for two people.

I dunno, maybe biology works differently here.

I mean, - okay, yeah, some of your recruits came by, sorry about that, I didn't actually mean for them to come but the chieftain was talking about how before I can teach any villagers I should see if I can get the recommendation of some of Chop's pupils and - er, sorry, let me slow down.

LOVEGNOLL claims they are on EVEN GROUND.

HOWEVER. With CHOP'S SQUINTING TECHNIQUE, it can be seen that SHEEMUS is SLIGHTLY LOSING. She does not have the heart for BATTLES OF SPECTATION, only the BATTLE FOR LIVES. At the current BATTLEPACE, SHEEMUS shall be the LOSER.

>"What's the point of this anyway, Chop?" the SO CALLED INSTRUCTOR remarks MIDCOMBAT. "Even if I win this fight, I know your recruits are strong, you wouldn't allow it any other way! You didn't have to get them to beat me up to prove it."

The teacher should always be stronger than the student! This is to demonstrate that weak teachings cannot produce strong students. Tell him that Sheemus is not your strongest student, and if Lumei were fighting here, he would have lost already.

Speaking of which, SHEEMUS, WIN. Treat it like a battle of LIFE OR DEATH. He is the ENEMY, you must DESTROY HIM.
Threaten punishment for losing. Like maybe she has to eat breakfast that you prepare for the next week.

Its not about proving my recruits are strong. Its testing you to make sure you are strong enough to be trusted with training our people.

If you do no know enough about fighting and physical training its means that any training from you would be worse than nothing.

Its better for pupils to think they are weak and run from danger than to have a false sense of confidence and run into fights that will get them killed.

I have no problem with that plan. I just wanted to test your capabilities and see what your training was like.

If you want you can join my students and learn from me. Then you can take my training methods and soften them so that the normal bolds will not run away in fear.

Plus any of your students can come join my dojo if they want to continue there training and take it to the next level.

The point, as in all fights, is to test oneself and one's opponent! If one intends to ever enter battles with lives on the line, one must know oneself, one's capabilities and limits, to their utmost. The only way to know these capabilities and limits is to have been pushed to them, and thus every fight, even one such as this, becomes a fight for the knowledge that may save yourself and your comrades.

Every fight is not only against one's opponent, but against oneself! You must know if your arms cannot lift a certain weight, if your legs will collapse after a certain effort, if your heart will not bear with you against a certain amount of fear! For if you do not know these things about your body, then one day your body's failings will be the end of you or your friends. A warrior's weaknesses are their deadliest enemy! So, when a true warrior trains, they train like they mean it! And when they fight, even if one of their opponents is only a friend helping them to learn about themselves, then still they must fight with all their strength against the other deadly enemy who is always with them!

Which means that EVERY FIGHT IN WHICH YOU DO NOT TRAIN, LEARN ABOUT OR TEST YOURSELF is ONE IN WHICH YOU HAVE LOST. And if you did not put forth your full effort, you are BOTH LOSERS.

CHOP already had the notion that the instructor could teach those who lack the time or inclination to become TRUE WARRIORS. It is clear to Chop, however, that CERTAIN PEOPLE in these caverns had begun to wonder if this lesser training would also be capable of creating TRUE WARRIORS, and that therefore if it would be possible to NOT TRAIN WITH CHOP. It was the intention of CHOP to make it clear that this is not the case.

Also Chop was OFFENDED THAT ALL THIS TOOK PLACE WITHOUT CHOP'S INFORMATION OR CONSENT. The instructor could have MET WITH CHOP AND HAD THIS LESSER TRAINING PLAN APPROVED WITHOUT ALL THESE SHENANIGANS, and the fact that CERTAIN PEOPLE went BEHIND HIS MIGHTY BACK indicates both their GUILT and their LACK OF RESPECT.

A teacher should be STRONGER than those he considers his STUDENTS. Chop will TOLERATE SUCH TEACHING if the teacher TAKES THE TIME TO ADVANCE HIS STRENGTH. Whether he does so with CHOP'S TEACHING or HIS OWN ROUTINES is of NO CONCEQUENCE to Chop, so long as he ALWAYS SEEKS TO MAINTAIN HIS STRENGTH.

That sounds fine to me.
And at east your honor is intact, that is important too.
But what he is planning is good, it will save you the time of having to put everyone through basic training as well. So you can focus on the training of real warriors instead...
(And maybe if they've already gone through basic training they won't be quite so feeble when you get them.)

One issue, if Basic Instructor participates in Chop Training, won't he start to get too strong for his students to beat him and thus graduate? Or was that like, for students that want to graduate early?

I think the CHIEF needs to be given a sound LASHING to provide him a lesson on ADEQUATE RESPECT, as well as ADEQUATE PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO HIS PROFESSIONALS on MATTERS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL SUBJECTS.

This lashing shall be METAPHORICALLY GIVEN WITH TONGUES, but should still metaphorically STRIP THE FLESH FROM HIS BONES. He should by now heard of all SHENANIGANS, and should be vulnerable to the knowledge that they stem ultimately from his NOT CONSULTING CHOP before SUBVERTING CHOP'S AUTHORITY to permit something which EVIDENTLY CHOP WOULD HAVE PERMITTED HIMSELF.

By VIRTUE OF VALIANT EFFORT, LUMEI and SHEEMUS are now known as LUMEI AND SHEEMUS instead of PUNY AND DAINTY NAMES that CHOP shall NOT EVEN BOTHER TO RECALL.
