He gave his teacher a half smile and a shrug. "I took extensive training in unarmed combat back home, in several styles, but I only touched on blades a couple times, and never for long. Besides, beating him bloody would have been crude and unrefined. The elbow jab was more a friendly warning that I was going to start using them than an actual attempt to hit. But in a blade only battle, yes, I would have been the clear amateur. As it was, I exploited a loophole in the rules to allow me to level it a bit."<br/><br/>He shrugged slightly, before continuing. "And we can continue this at tomorrow's blade training, if you desire. Mayhap I can show you a few of the moves that we use for fighting with only our hands in exchange?"<br/><br/>He gave Elwyrr a friendly smile, before heading down to circulate and see if he could earn a few favors. For some reason, he expected several to request training in his fighting style, as it seemed that they had nothing comparable to martial arts in their normal fights, relying heavily on magic and equipment, their bodies only a tangential weapon, if that.
