Path of the Hunters - NSFW

Aurélie looked him over, amused. "And why exactly are you 'ere?"

He looked over to Aurélie, a smirk crossed his face, "I do my research, as for why I'm here, curiousity. It's been really busy around here lately, so I figured I'd poke my nose in and look around. Imagine my surprise when a practical war was being fought right around here. The body count is rather amazing. You're really good at what you do, you know?" He chuckled.

The dog lifted a brow. "I 'ave no idea what you could mean."

His smirked, "You don't say. Anyways, I'd love to hook up with you and Nova's friends one of these days. You're a rather curious bunch." he walked off, "See you soon." The hologram fizzled out as the round probe flew off.

The dog lifted a brow. "Well... That was fascinating."

"Whoever that was," Nova said, relaxing. "He's no ordinary person. How didn't he know about the bodies buried everywhere? I made sure that there was absolutely no traces left."

"'Ow did 'e even know to come 'ere?" she murmured.

"Apparently, he did his research," Nova said darkly. "I just hope he's on our side."

"Heard that," Elesis agreed.

"Oui..."

There was silence among them for a moment, until Elesis clapped her hands. "Well, let's not let this weird turn of events mess with our moods. Come on!" And with that, she strolled into the gym.

Nova blinked before coming to his own senses. "She's right. It's not like anything's happening at this moment."

She shrugged. "I suppose not.

"Come on. Let's get this started." He strode over to the door of the gym, held it open for her.

A rather significant distance away from the group, the individual smirked as he grabbed to probe and stored it in a compartment before turning on the engines of the VTOL-like craft that was and flew off. "Now to set up a meeting place..."

The dog walked in, smiling at Nova.

As soon as the door closed behind him, several whistles and cheers were heard. Obviously, they thought there was something going on between him and Aurélie. "All right, all right, that's enough." Immediately, the group quieted down. "It's not even like that. Okay, form up, everyone! Let's go!"

The group formed up as if they were a small platoon. "Okay, I know it's been a while since I've been here, but I'll try not to make you wait so long next time. Now, everyone, I want you to meet Aurélie." He gestured to the dog at his side. "She's gonna be watching us for the day, so put on your best show for her."

Aurélie smiled sweetly. None of them seemed to know who she was, which suited her fine. "Bonjour," she cooed.

"Hi, Miss Aurélie," was the general response.

"Now, I heard we got some new people in our midst. Why don't you step to the front?" Two almost identical orange-furred foxes moved to the front of the class. The only way one could tell them apart was their physiques: one had a male build, the other female.

Nova smirked. "Looks like we got us a set of twins, here. Mind introducin' yourselves?"

"Jake Tyler," came from the male fox.

"Emily Tyler," came from the female.

"All right," he said with a nod. "Welcome to Nova Gym. Let's hope you two can keep up.

"Now," he spoke to the entire class. "as always, I only have two rules here: 1-Absolutely no fighting outside the gym. I find out-and I will find out-you will be expelled. No second chances. 2-No exceptions, except for one: official tournaments. I wanna know where it is, when it is, and who's sponsoring it. And I will be there to watch you in action. Are we absolutely clear?"

"Yes, sir!" rang throughout.

The dog leaned against a wall, smiling. He was very much in command here. It was... interesting, watching him teach.

"All right! Now, for the first half hour, we're gonna do a station run. Twins, learn quickly." He pulled out a whistle and blew on it, and everyone went to one of the six workout stations set up, and got to work.

Aurélie walked over to the wolf. "'Ow do you know they will do it correctly if you do not tell them?"

"Well, first off, most of this class has been here for years, so most of them know it. And for those that don't, somebody will help them. Look." Already, the twins were getting help on the station they were at, from Elesis no less. "We're kinda like a family in here. We help one another when we struggle. Accent our strong suits; Reinforce our weak. That's how everyone gets ahead and gets along.

"I chose to set up shop in this neighborhood, because there's such a strong sense of community and support, even though things get rough around here."

[Sorry for not posting at all ^^;]

She nodded, studying them all. "You chose well."

[It's okay. I'm sure you had stuff to do]

He smiled at her, then turned back to the class, blowing on his whistle. "All right, guys! Rotate!"

Amused, she leaned against them. "Do you 'ave them spar?"

"Of course. But not today. Today is station running, which is going on now, then grappling 101. But I won't be handling the second part."
