WEEK 4 - VENUS FLYTRAP

[foundationmods]

Another week dawned.

But after the events at the trial, more than a few people would have wanted for time to stop still.

In this game, even unshakable loyalties....could be broken.🗈

If that were the case, then what was stopping even more horrible crimes from happening this thursday night?
And they knew they could do nothing to stop it from happening.

...Still, they had to continue the game, until one or both of the Witches admitted defeat, or the game itself came to a close.

Yet, they also felt as if something might change. Some big reveal felt as if it was just around the corner....but for now, it seemed as if they had to play the waiting game.

No matter how awful that felt.

I think I can just explain it to you without having to actually hit you. You just need to strike specific parts of the body-- the eyes, nose, ears, neck, groin and legs. Usually, you want to strike someone with your hand for the upper parts of the body-- with the outer edge of your hand like this [ he shows him in the air ] or a palm strike, or a knuckle blow. [ For each explanation, Syaoran shows a demonstration. ] A tightly curled fist works, too. And below that, you want to kick the knee. Also, leveraging your weight can help out a lot.

[Erhard watches with the keen eye of a surgeon, then tries to imitate the movements slowly so Syaoran can correct them.]

Anatomically, I know there are also pressure points that can be struck to cause weakness or even unconsciousness, but the proper technique is something I lack.

[excavated]

Well, if you're just doing it all in self defense, there's not too much you need to learn, really. Just the basics.

[cryosurgeon]

I still won't stand a chance against someone with experience. But there isn't much I can do about that now.

[excavated]

You never know unless you try. Don't give up just because you believe in that. I think someone with experience might even be caught off guard.

[cryosurgeon]

Maybe if they believe I can't defend myself at all. It would be one way my body type could give me an advantage, if they underestimate me.

[He does go through the motions Syaoran showed him again, to show he actually is paying attention.]

[excavated]

Yeah. I don't think they'd be thinking that you'd be able to defend yourself very well most of the time, so taking advantage of that is optimal.

[cryosurgeon]

... Syaoran, will you teach me, for as long as we're both here?

[He's not being a pessimist, he's a realist. With what's been happening, there's a good chance one or both of them could die.]

[excavated]

For as long as I can, I don't mind. Although I'll probably teach you more of the proper fighting style rather than my normal one.

[cryosurgeon]

Thank you. And whatever you want to teach me is fine. You're starting with a blank slate.

[excavated]

That's true. Besides, the other technique I learned was more useful when I couldn't see out of one eye. Or when I had my abilities.

[cryosurgeon]

... I wish my powers weren't sealed. I might've saved the others, even from lethal injuries.

[excavated]

I don't have healing abilities. But I could have protected everyone. Even though I know that saving people isn't the point here. Not for. . . [...] Anyway. I think here should be good enough for today, though. I don't want to force too much, and I still need to practice a little more myself.
