((ooc: alright, this thread is going to basically be for either a) a fight or b) for training, mkay? mkay. ^^))
It had been so long since she had stepped into the gym to train. With everything that seemed to be going down lately, becoming stronger for an inevitable confrontation seemed like a brilliant idea. Looking around for a moment as her chocolate eyes took in the other occupants of the gym, she entered wearing her normal training outfit: a black pair of shorts with pink striping, pink tank with a black sports bra underneath, her long raven hair up in a high ponytail. Her gym bag was slung over her shoulder, and she made her way over to a bench along the side to drop it on, letting the strap fall from her shoulder as it landed on the elevated wood.
She paused for a moment before bringing her ran hand up to her left, fingers enclosing over the brilliant silver and diamond ring on her left hand and gently pulling it off. She didn't want it damaged or, even worse, lost, so she unzipped a small pocket on the side of her back and gently placed it inside, soon to be followed by the charm bracelet from her right hand. Jewelry was a big No when you were training, because you could damage both yourself and the jewelry you are wearing should you punch/kick/hit wrong, or something. It was a worst case scenario kind of thing.
Making her way to the punching bag, Chi drew back into a basic fighting stance for balance and began to assail the inanimate target with a series of punches and kicks..left, left, right, left, right, round house kick, left, right, jab..

Touring the school was just one of the many things Zack felt he had to do, to get to know the school better, as he constantly saw new faces and new people in various locations. The school's halls were pretty empty, as most kids were either in the gym or outside in the fields, doing sports or training their current skills.
"Wonder where everybody went....seems like a graveyard out here.", Zack murmured as he walked down a flight of stairs, to the lower level and decided to have a look at the gym. As he peered inside, he felt uncomfortable due to the mass amount of people inside, yet somehow, this attracted him even more as he studied each person's different style and felt a rising sense of happiness as freindly duels took place.
Seeing the punching bag being massacred by a series of quick punches and kicks, Zack watched in awe, as he went up closer to see who the trainer was...

The tiny hairs on the back of Chi's neck tingled as she sensed a pair of eyes watching her and she ceased assailing the punching bag. With a sort of half jump like she had been shocked by electricity, chocolate eyes quickly scanned about for anything unusual. Not too far off, a boy was looking at her, but she didn't recognize him. Her breathing still slightly ragged from working out, she extended her left hand to rest against the punching bag and cease its swinging.
The boy didn't seem like much of a threat, but then again, she'd already learned her lesson from not being skeptical. She regarded him with a curious expression, quirking an eyebrow at him.
"Um, you want to use this?"
She asked uncertainly, why else would he be looking over like that? But then again, he really didn't look dressed to train. Oh well, maybe he...didn't change, or something. SHe was sure he would explain himself soon enough anyway, so it didn't really bother her much yet.

Zack let out a short gasp as the student turned to face him, and saw her eyes scan him, as if deciding wheter he was a threat or not. Hiding his uncertainty he replied ,"Um...I was merely watching....thats all."
Feeling quite unsafe under her eyes, he sidestepped a bit, and raised his hands up apologetically as he gave a nervous laugh.
"I didnt mean any harm.- I mean- your speed caught my attention, thats all!"
Zack took some time to take note of her personality, and how the conversation might go.

"Oh..okay."
She replied, slightly awkward. For her size she knew she was pretty fast, but she didn't realize it was anything worth noticing. Raising a hand, she brushed back a strand that had falled into her face, tucking it behind her ear as she shifted her weight where she stood.
"I guess it makes up for what I lack in strength."
Chi added with a shrug. It was a common known fact that women had less muscle mass than men, so it just made sense that she should focus on being faster.

Nodding in agreement, Zack replied ,"Well, not really...you could be both strong and fast..."
In an awkward silence, he took a step closer to the punching bag, and saw it was leaking a bit, from the pummeling.
Casting a glance at the girl he thought ,'How hard did she hit this thing?! Its cracked...'

Chi followed the boy's gaze to the punching bag. Sure enough, a thin line ran along the punchingbag from about her head level to her stomach level. Oops, maybe she was hitting it harder than she thought. That was a bit encouraging, since she hadn't even been wearing her gloves. Her mouth made a kind of an 'Ooo' shape as she surveryed the damage.
"I can fix that."
She said, walking over to her bag and retrieving her fabric tape. Normally she used it to bind her knuckles but it would work just as well on the punching bag. Returning to her original spot, she pulled a length of tape the size of the crack, ripped it from the roll, which she then placed over her wrist to hold it while she taped the crack. With a single motion, she placed the tape down and smoothed it, leaving no wrinkles.
"There that's better."
Chi then turned her attention back to the boy, who still seemed to look a little shocked. She knew she wasn't that impressive, but then again, maybe he was new to this whole phs 259 thing. She'd gotten her arm smashed by a boy who was significantly stronger than she, and she wondered for a moment how the new boy would react should he see him around. Heh.
"I'm Chi, by the way. Are you new here?"

Nodding, Zack replied ,"Yea...i'm kind of new here. My names Zack."
He hesistantly held out a hand as he stood rigidly in position, while he tried to take a few steps toward her. Shortly afterwards, he quickly drew back his hand, and stared at the senior in what looked like distrust.

Quirking an eyebrow curiously as his nervous behavior, she extended her right hand to shake his in greeting. Her curious look simply increased as he seemed to still be looking at her oddly.
"Umm..you alright, kid?"
She asked, shifting her weight slightly. He made her a bit uncomfortable. Appearing out of nowhere, staring at her, acting nervous...what was his problem?

Eyeing her hand apphrehnsively, he edged a tiny bit closer, and shook her hand.
"I-i'm a bit....sociophobic in a sense......", he admitted as he cast a nasty look at some kids who were ganging on a student. "I really dislike...being around people, and- and such."
Zack let his eyes wander the gym once again, as he spotted a fly, then saw someone snatch it out of the air as if it were money.

The dark haired senior let out a laugh. It was a light laugh, as she didn't mean it to be mean or anything, what he said just amused her. Sociaphobic? At 259? Not that was going to be interesting..
"Well, you're going to have to get used to it, kid, there are people everywhere here."
Returning to her bag, Chi pulled out her waterbottle, popped the top and took a sip before tipping a bit onto her hand and smoothing it through her raven colored hair, which was up in a ponytail.
"So, have you ever been to public school before?"
She asked curiously, because if he was sociaphobic to the point he seemed to be at, then she guessed that he must have either been home schooled or went to a very private school before coming here.

Bang. Bang.
Two loud cracks of something hard hitting the surface of the punching bag - only, it was larger and slightly taller. Designed for kick boxers, the bottom strap of the training bag was undone - swinging freely as the figure brought down his right foot - not yet touching the ground as he shifted his weight back to his left and performed a circular kick - waist height as he left the ground; sheer force slamming into the mid-section of the poor thing as it swung quickly to the left - befor swaying back to the right. Foot down, left foot forward- right foot around, follow through thrusting the right hand out - palm open as it aggressively pushed the training bag back, before coming down he struck it again in quick succession.
"Nng."
Backing off almost immediately, holding in the grunt as he had no intention of letting others hear the sharp pain. Jarring the wrist hurts, y'know? Rolling it around, he heard a few cracks as he felt his muscles tighten around the sore area. Hmm.

As she was waiting for the timid boy to answer, a sound caught her attention. Someone was assailing the punchingbag she had just left, and quite expertly at that. She turned casually, as she was curious by nature, but the moment those chocolate orbs fell on the figure who was using the punching bag, she froze.
With a gasp as one would make when rounding a corner and being scared out of her wits, Chihiro turned white as a sheet, stumbling back a few steps as she stared at him with wide eyes. She had completely forgotten about the boy standing next to her, though she would soon remember should he speak up. Right now her attention was focused on the brown haired senior seemed to be working out with no notice of the fact that she was right there...or did he not care to acknowledge her in public so she would simply look like a raving lunatic?

Had Karel been a bit more like Farren, he'd of certainly said something witty like 'Do I take your breath away or something, princess?' ... but alas, he was not. He was but a mere smartass when it came to wit - and comments were hardly ever made unless it was for psychological reasons; insults DO put people off in fights. But when one sets eyes on another, the receiver- if sharp, will usually have their instincts flare up madly to alert them of this predator's gaze - naturally he looked toward that girl named Chihiro. Recollected memories simply said she was the one who had shown him around on his first day. Well, not much more to say after that.
But... what caught his attention was the look of outright something on her face - fear, horror? Hate, even? .... why?! Tilting his head somewhat slightly as his brows lifted - the huge-ass hint of what-the-fuck painted all over his face. By now, the punching bag had come to settle.

At this point her initial fear was beginning to give way to a burning in her stomach, hate. Her body curled backward slightly, it was a subtle movement, but combined with the look on her face, she looked like an offended feline staring down her opponent. He looked absolutely clueless, and though she understood that she probably wouldn't do anything, especially with other people around, it didn't click that maybe he was acting amnesia a little too well.
"What, you think giving me that disc would just wipe the slate clean, Soresu?"
She snarled, yes, Chihiro opened her mouth first, issuing the first line of hostile conversation. How could he just stand there...knowing what he'd done, what he had promised to do...it sickened her.
