Future Heritage

Ghislain watched his keen eyes able to see it. He didn't move from his spot on a stump near hers. His perch allowed for keen observation of her reishi. Forcing Reishi wasn't how he believed they should wield it. They were part of the Reishi currents and could do many things with them. He smiled a bit as he could see the confusion at first. But slowly it began to dawn on her what he'd done differently. Ghislain's method was older than the majority of her teachers. He focused in on the power of Reishi and it's finer points. As she began to get it he could hear her profess it to him. That brought a gentle smile to his lips as she spoke now. "That's it, it's a river inside of us. We can divert its path, but when we force it we block ourselves off sometimes. Similar to a beaver we build a dam inside of ourselves. I've seen Quincy lose the power to mainpulate the Reishi before from forcing things." Well step one was completed now came the part he was concerned about.


Stage one was now well and truly behind her. But it didn't get any easier when stage two began. It was time for her to put it into practice but not against nothing. Ghislain slowly removed his shirt and cloak he wore akin to a hunter. Setting them down he cracked his neck side to side. Ghislain's body was mostly muscles and very slender. Ghislain brought arms in front of him cracking them. His joints made popping noises as he prepared himself. "Customarily we move on to stage two. Use offense blut to strick me, I'll defend while you get your feet steady. " Inhaling his cerulean eyes focused now as his defense became clear. Ghislain's veins pulsed and moved to show signs across his body. That he was making himself ready for her offense though no strain became clear. His facial features kept a gentle nature about them. "This is how in Germany before the War with the Shinigami, we trained. Very different place the old world was from the new one we walk in."


Offering her an explanation of the old customs the Eberhart Family would observe. "I was sent off at five years old to begin training with my instructor, didn't finish until I was eight. He was a tough guy my teacher, specialized in Blut and stepping techniques. " Ghislain shrugged his shoulders a bit finishing his history lesson. "So moving on from ancient history, I am going to come at you and help you work on something of a weakness some have. " Ghislain had no intention of hurting the girl but he wanted to make sure she had strategies in place. What if someone was faster and could close the distance to you? What if they held defenses too strong for you to penetrate? These were the things he wanted to make sure she knew. Ghislain's arms came in front of him as he assumed a stance. Something of hand to hand combat but far older as one hand rested behind his back. It gently was set similar to how a fencer holds does but more back.

His other hand came up slowly as he decided to flat out tell her the goal of the next exercise. "We will address, strategies when someone is faster or harder to penetrate their defenses. This way if you run into a situation of melee or otherwise you will be fully prepared. Attack me and we will begin." He said keeping one hand out in front of him. He could teach her several things now about Reishi from here. But also how to be effective in combat regardless of range. The old Quincy could fight from any distance be it melee or ranged. That was due to rather creative training methods. They'd lost them outside of two Quincy at this moment. Ghislain held the secrets of their people from Yhwach's time and memories. But also having been present in the time when they'd been almost killed by them. The other was Nif, she was something of a special case as an elder. But that was all behind them now. Ghislain was very much on the outside looking into the Vandenreich despite Sofia's insistence.
