A small grin, devious in nature.

"Clever, clever. I see you have a bit more of a grasp on the world than most. The only way of truly determining skill is through a test, you say. A truer line has not been spoken by any of my prior students."

She stood with the lazy grace of a feline, looking decidedly unconcerned with the turn of events. Her student was sharper than many of the others she had trained--few were so bold as to challenge the guildmaster of assassins so directly. Too meek for her tastes, really. Far too quick to be submissive to one who held the ultimate control in the assassin's guild--they spent much time trying to avoid offending the master, trying to prove their worth in training. They had been more than willing to brag of their skills--less than eager to prove them.

Aduial was a promising student indeed. Unique.

Moments passed, the master watching Aduial calmly, casually, biding her time, emerald gaze wandering vaguely around the scenery, taking note of some of the more intriguing features of the training grounds.

And then she moved.

With a motion so quick it was nearly instantaneous she leapt forward, fist balled and aimed in a snapping-quick punch directed towards her student's head. It was a feint--all the better if it actually connected, as it had considerable force behind it, but it wasn't her intent.

Her foot darted out at the same time, tracing the path of a kick that would logically strike Aduial in the back of the knees if all went according to plan--an easy, though slightly predictable, method to cause most opponents to fall.

She suspected Aduial would be slightly more intelligent than the average warrior, clever enough to fend off such a blatantly obvious attack. But if he was not... All the better. A learning opportunity.

(ooc - yee-haw! Free-for-all, I guess. Anything in the area is fair game--weapons, hiding spots, etc. Be creative! ^_^)
