"As you should know, my men are in dire need of training. While not entirely hopeless, they have decreased overall ability. Even if bones must be broken, get them together" The two entered the courtyard with a phalanx of guardsmen lined up. Glancing back at Toma, Toma cracked his neck before walking before the men. Looking them up and down, they were all wearing plain black clothes. Black tunics and matching black pants and boots. All of them had an assortment of weapons suited for training.
"All of you attack me at once," Toma said, standing perfectly still, not a waver in his voice. The men looked confused as Toma took on a fighting stance. Murmurs broke out as he smacked his palms together, a magic circle created. Lightning crackled across his body, increasing his strength. Before crouching, he had made another magic circle before bursting forward—a trail of lightning left in his wake. Appearing in front of the first man, Toma would kick with all his might. He was driving from the bottom of the earth and shooting his left leg into the guard's jaw. The guard went flying into the air as the other looked stunned. Taking the opportunity, Toma ran forward to grab the next man he saw. Putting him in a clinch, he would pull the man forward before driving his knee into his nose—a spray of blood and a crunch of bone. After seeing two comrades taken out, the guardsmen now had the gall to retaliate.
With a quick jump, Toma tucked his knees to his chest. Narrowly avoiding the wooden spears and swords, the men strike each other. He whipped his legs out to hit every one else around him, knocking them to the ground. With ease, he plopped back onto the floor, dusting himself off from the courthouse sand. "I'll let you recover; you all have 2 minutes before hell begins." Toma walked back to his employer, leaning against the wall next to him with a smirk. " Now that I have a basic assessment of their skills, I see how to move forward. I will teach them a basic routine for maintaining strength and stamina. Then combat drills and sparring for the experience." Sirius nodded as Toma walked over to the recovering men. He was going to get them right and get paid.
