ogrewarriorSomehow, someway, Kaz has managed to get LDS Dueling Facilities up and running amid all of the turmoil of the last few weeks. There's a few obstacle courses going, one with what looks like lilypads floating through a river and getting to the other side is rewarded with having to climb up a waterfall. The other is more stark, bleak, where the 'goal' is clambering up the sides of pillars with rocky handholds and weapons that've been jammed into the rocks.
There's a few action dueling arenas set up as well. They're under the LDS teacher's control, so you'll need to bother Kaz or Mazane or Shinji about using them. When a decent chunk of students have gathered and before they scatter to the courses and arenas, Kaz has taken a stand near a podium and looks like he cracks his neck before he booms out:
"LDS and DA students. There's been a rise of violence in the pro league we adults should be preparing ya for, not ta mention the current state of the junior league which I'm sure most of ya have encountered. This ain't gonna be a lesson in escalation. I can't teach all of ya how ta get on their level in one day. No one can.
What I can teach ya? How to control the flow of duels. Ya can't let these people run roughshod over stuff ya love and your limbs, so I have very basic self-defense and agility training. There's obstacles in these courses. Fish in the water that'll knock ya off. Some of the foot and hand-holds may not hold your weight. If ya don't wanna run grueling stuff, if ya don't wanna learn basic dodges or counters, lemme know. This ain't gonna be for everyone, and I'll mark ya off.
If ya wanna work on stuff in particular or how to control the flow of duels, come ta me, come ta one of my associates, Miss Mazane or Mister Samasu. We'll get ya working on how to interrupt any flow your opponent might try and create, with violence or not.
And if I see someone intentionally using the lessons I'm trying to pass down for self-defense against Ryozanpaku, flying knees, or people who literally crush duelists for schoolyard rumbles or hit someone who ain't willing to hit back, I don't care if it's years from now, I will yank ya outta that duel so fast your head will spin. And if you're one of my synchro kids, I might fail ya for the year. If ya ain't, your teachers, even across the ocean will be notified and I will suggest punishments that fit what crap ya were tryin' ta pull. We all clear?"
Afterwards, Kaz can be found nearly anywhere in the aforementioned areas, working with students or silently judging them. Sometimes he can be found in a spacey looking state, like he's lost in thought in one of the inactive dueling arenas. He's actually here to help, so feel free to bother him.

...why is your disk a sword."
no subject
Date: 2017-06-08 04:08 pm (UTC)A D-Wheel they keep getting confused with when I bring it up to the lower officials and... the whole Ryozanbaku thing just burned me out a lot from the main section and there's not been a lot of activity in the Tag Duel section...

Date: 2017-06-08 04:18 pm (UTC)"Well, swords are definitely gonna be frowned on. That's not exactly, uh. Normal? I can understand being burned out, but it's not like there's a whole lot of speed duels going on much anymore, yeah?"
Rubs his temples.
"Yeah, you guys got set a whole lot faster than the chaos that's the singles. ...Ya afraid ya might be getting rusty with your bike, then?"

Date: 2017-06-08 04:32 pm (UTC)"Lemme make a call. My D-Wheel's not here and I can't break ta get it, y'know? I'll get someone ta get it here. Ya might not have ever been my student, but I'd be a piss poor teacher if I didn't give ya a chance."
He chuckles.
"We may be the only two people here who wanna do something like that, but it ain't like we shouldn't have fun with it."

Date: 2017-06-08 05:01 pm (UTC)Guess I can... maybe help her talk them out.
"Akashiro Tsurugi, yeah? You're ranked with Miss Wakahisa's daughter in the tag-teams and you're really good from what I've seen...
Don't apologize for being a nuisance. If ya were, I wouldn't have agreed ta keep ya sharp. No one's a waste of oxygen, no one deserves to feel bad just because shitty adults ain't listening to what they wanna do.
I'm gonna do my best ta listen, even if it means we can only do something like this once a week. Alright?"

I wish someone would make them all go away.
::Clenches a fist, glowering down at the floor. For the briefest moment, you swear you saw energy zip-zap across her.::

Date: 2017-06-08 05:14 pm (UTC)But, if she's listened to, maybe...
"Yeah? I getcha on that. But if they go away, they don't get a chance to change their minds, like I did. We just gotta show them how awesome your idea is. Not, uh. Healthy ta think it'd be better if they would go away. World needs all kinds, not just the people who agree with ya, yeah?"

Date: 2017-06-08 05:59 pm (UTC)"The crusher? Sure, he's like that. I'm waiting for Akaba to turn his force against him and we'll all sit pretty and this entire thing I'm doing is gonna be for nothing.
I don't think the Ryozanpaku kids are 'maniacs.' Imagine if you've gone to school, isolated from your family, instead of friends all you get are rivals, and all you know how to do is, well... this.
Because that's what you've been taught dueling is. Like an MMA bout with chess. Maybe that Hayate kid's a psychopath, but there's a reason he got kicked out of DA. The others, I think, have a chance to realize what this is all about."
