The writings From The Minds Of The Misunderstood 2 (Part 1)

Chapter 10: Training Begins.

Day 1 Of Training

Dylan sat on the floor in the middle of the room. There was incenses burning, smelled just like sage. One of Alice's favorite smells to train too. Thinking about all of the changes that he had made to the training room. Like ordering special mats to put on the floor, fixing the sword rack. Repaint the walls from the old chipping color.

The Captain had said that he could change a few things around to make the training room to make it look like the Dojo back home. Also the 'old' training room was just a mess that needed to be fixed up anyway. Parts of the doors were rusted, the room smelled of mold Something that he knew needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. 

Doing the improvements helped him take his mind and heart off of the pain of not being with Alice. It was about a month and a half now that he hadn't seen her beautiful face, it was killing him. 

"Take your shoes off and clear your mind before taking your places." Dylan said as he felt the presence of his students starting to arrive. Startling them, not realizing that they had been seen. Most people didn't realize that because of Alice's being mute, she was often just extremely quiet and he had learned to listen for her.  

What confused people the most was that Titus was following Dylan's directions without questioning him.

She automatically took off her boots,

"The first thing I'm going to teach you is meditation. When in battle your mind must be clear so that your body can fight as one. This is another way to keep your head figuratively and literally in battle.....  But first we bow in! "He called while he sat upon his knees. T"hat is Oh Sensi; you will now to him before stepping onto the mat and when you bow in. "Dylan stood up to demonstrate for both make and female. "Next we bow in; you will all line up and face me. But for today and tomorrow only I will face a different way so you all have a good understanding of what you need to do. Is that understood?"

When no one replied he said again but louder... "Is that understood!?" Asserting himself on the first day now, so that he might have less problems in the future. 

"Hi Sensi!" Peacer said. He was starting to get a handle on this stuff.

"Good, now for our first instruction. I'm going to place a bowl of water on both of your hands. Then I will place another one on the tops of your heads. Stay like that for as long as you can."

It was an hour and a half later the first bowl dropped to the floor. It belonged to a young student by the name of Q. He had become to relaxed that he feel asleep.

It happens to a good portion of beginners during training.

"Head onto lunch, see you all tomorrow."

Day 2 of Training

"Titus up front, but before you do you will bow to me from your seat. The girl motioned that she understood and did what she was told. Grab a staff for everyone except me, I have my own."

<to himself: Alice made me this staff; I miss my love very much. The mail should be going out in a few days>

"Do you you all know your left from your right?"

Even though she really wanted to retort something sarcastic Titus just said most of us do because of our positions on board .

"Can I trust you to teach those who don't? "He asked to Peacer.
