Character Name: Syphalia Minalion
Current Experience: 1673
Islands / Plots:
St. Poplar - A Lantern in the Dark
Night Beast Island - A Night on Beast Island , The Firefly, The Dragon, and The Werewolf
Port West - Hunting the Past , Cross-City Chase
Open Seas (Log) - A Girl and the Steel
Inlet Grove Stop - A Clarion Call , The Cost of Freedom (These two are current threads, but I wouldn't start the training till after they are done)
Tutor's Name/Link: Shah Ki
Reason For Tutoring:
In many ways this pair are a pair that would likely have a slightly hard time getting along. But perhaps that is better, Syphalia has both the skill and the pride to force herself to match the standards which Shah will place upon her. While generally unwilling to accept someone is better than her, she puts a lot of stake in strength and Shah is easily strong enough to earn Syphalia's respect. Whether Syphalia can dothe same is up to her own resilience and stubborness. But I think her capable, she also would not be offput by some of Shah's more crude language.
Training Objectives:
- To obtain a chance to train with him. Syphalia has to be able to land a clean hit on him while his eyes are closed. If she cannot even do that then she shows no promise whatsoever. This while part of the proposal is done before training actually starts. When training starts there is one training step for each type of haki.
- Kenbonshoku Haki: Kenbonshoku training is divided into two steps, the first is an easier to clear test, the second tests full use of the ability. Syphalia will stand across a clearing from Shah. Shah will fire bursts of water bullets at her. Doing it first with her eyes open she must dodge while walking towards Shah. To clear this test Syphalia must touch Shah without being hit by any water bullets to close distance. This must then be done again except while blindfolded to the point that her eyes are completely useless. Thus showing that she can both sense Shah's presence and sense the attacks being sent toward her and are not simply doing so with her natural reflexes. Though Shah is likely strong enough that even just on natural reflexes Syphalia cannot dodge them all.
- Busoshoku Haki: Given that Syphalia is a swordsman Shah will make her Busoshoku Haki training a two step challenge. The first challenge is simply being able to materialize it in a specific position. It actually combines materialization and aim. Since Shah is not particularly sure how to force her to do this without doing too much he will place her ina flutterkick coating bubble and place her without her weapon in a cove full of mini fighting fish. Without armament haki she has little chance of defeating them. She must first defeat ten of the fighting fish bare-handed in the water to clear the first half. The second challenge is being able to imbue a sword with haki. By placing her in the sea in a Flutterkick Coating Bubble, she must before the air runs out in her bubble defeat a monster of Shah's choosing. The monster chosen will be so durable that it will be all but impossible for Syphalia to hurt it without imbuing haki into her sword. Especially due to her aura not working very well in the water.
