For the most part, Master Yi had allowed Wukong to teach Cordellia. He believed his apprentice to be up to the task, and had thought it best to give the two time to work together. Now it was time to see how successful Wukong had been with his first student. Yi had asked Cordellia to meet him by the pond in the dojo, there they would test how well she could focus and control her emotions, as well as her blade fragments. He sat in a meditative position on the southern edge of the pond, just in front of his own house. His eyes were closed, yet he would easily be able to tell when Cordellia began approaching.

Cordellia slowly approached Master Yi, her steps slow as she enjoyed the scenery around her. The Demacian's silver hair was pulled behind her ears as she walked, eyes simply drinking in the beautiful area that the dojo was located in, a soft smile played on her lips. Since being here she had felt many great weights lifted from her being, anger and hatred no longer plagued her thoughts constantly, yes, the hatred and anger was there, but now she had a level of control over it she had not ever felt. Cordellia wore simple brown linen pants, bare feet as she had recently come to enjoy the feeling of the earth upon her feet. Her sword's sheath was strapped around her waist by faded leather that looked to have been worn around the buckle from many years of use. Upon her top she wore a loose fitting linen shirt. She paused Master Yi and cleared he throat, "Hey."

Yi heard Cordellia before she spoke, but when addressed, he turned to face her. He could already she was calmer than when they had first met, simply by her posture. He smiled, happy to see that she had made some progress. How much progress, though, would need to be tested. "Hello Cordellia. How has your training with Wukong been? I hope all is going well."

Cordellia shrugged, "Yeah, I guess it's been going well." She tilted her head ever so slightly, "He told me to come to you though. Said you had something for me to do?" she questioned while looking at him curiously. She wondered just what Master Yi could teach her that Wukong could not, while she loved training with the Monkey King, she had always wondered what it would be like to train one-on-one with Master Yi himself.

"I am glad to hear you are not having difficulty. Now, though, we will see how much you have learned." He stood up and looked at her face, analyzing her. She seemed to be above the influence of her anger for now, but was this control, or simply a momentary respite from her rage? It was time to find out. "You may remove your blade from its belt. You will not need it." He put himself into a fighting stance, making it clear he intended to spar without weapons. "We begin when you are ready."

Cordellia nodded, untied the belt and place the sheathed sword against a nearby tree. She turned on her heel and slowly walked back to Yi, she was light on her feet, able to dodge and weave even when in armor, now without the armor and sword she felt confident she would be able to at least somewhat keep up with Master Yi in a spar. She took a defensive fighting stance, it was mandatory in the demacian military to learn how to fight without a weapon should you become disarmed in a melee. Cordelia silently studyed the Wuju master with eyes like a hawk, every movement was watched intently making sure she would be capable of defending against him.

Aurus felt deja vu as he approached the Wuju dojo again. Yet he was a different man. The months he had spent travelling with Master Tao has changed him. No longer did he desire revenge. Anger no longer held sway over his heart and mind. He would continue his training, there was still much to learn.
He found the main hall empty. The room that had been so alive the day he watched Yi and Wukong fight was now still and quite. He heard voices outside, just through a door at the back of the dojo.
The Wuju master was here, as well as another he did no recognize. A women with snow white hair and dressed simply. Her hair reminded him of Wolf, the woman that had caused his inner turmoil and started his path of healing. But it was not her. This woman was taller and more muscular, signs of a fighter. Who was she? Another student? Most likely. Her speech and mannerisms showed that she was friendly with him. He watched as she removed her sword and took her stance. He recognized her Demacian fighting style from her stance. The blade new some fighting styles beyond Ionian, Demacian military being one of them.
He did not interrupt them, he only watched, interested by the foreign woman that wanted to learn Wuju.

Seeing that Cordellia had taken up a defensive position, Yi took the offensive swiftly. He closed the gap between them, opening with a simple, yet swift kick to see how she would react. While she might be able to block it, it would probably be far too fast to catch. He didn't notice that Aurus had arrived yet, though even if he did, he would not pay heed to him until the spar was over.

Cordellia wouldn't attempt to catch the kick, instead opting block it with one arm only to bring her free hand down upon his ankle in hopes of crippling it. She didn't notice the newcomer, only focusing upon her spar with Master Yi, clearing her mind of any and all thoughts that weren't based around the situation she was in right this moment. She had to test the extent of her training, just how far would Master Yi push her?

Yi quickly brought his foot down quickly after his kick was blocked. Though she did manage to strike his ankle, his leg was already moving down so no notable damage was done. Once he had planted his foot firmly on the ground, he followed up with another with the other foot, effectively advancing on Cordellia. The kick was aimed just above Cordellia's knee. Again, it was a fast strike. Unless Cordellia backed away, they would be in arm's length of each other. The Master kept his hands ready to block or catch a blow from Cordellia.

As his foot came down, reducing the damage her strike had done, she quickly moved back slightly, putting the weight on her back leg before raising the one he had gone to kick in order to block the initial impact. It hurt, of course, it was a rough, rushed and unrefined move. She was still struggling to keep her emotions in check, but she had improved a great deal since coming to the Dojo. It usually took her a while, but once she reigned in her emotions so they didn't cloud her mind, but aided it, she was a well oiled machine. At the moment however, she was still fighting to control them, frustration, was always there.
Cordelia winced as the impact rocked through her leg, but she advanced, pushing off with her back leg in order to leap forward with her already raised leg, intending on kneeing Master Yi in the gut. The movement was just like her, sacrificing defense in order to simply shatter whatever stood in her way, it was something that would never change no matter the amount of training she partook in.

Aurus approached the pair as the fighting continued. The women certainly knew what she was doing, but Yi had the advantage. Wuju was a fighting style that was universal and while she clearly was a competent fighter, he doubted she would overcome his Wuju.

She accepted the brunt of his blow and launched forward, intent in smashing through him. But the Wuju master was ready. A life time of training let him see the intent of the attack coming towards him. Cordellia was fully committed to attack, she left no defences up.
Yi's body sprung like a tightly coiled spring, moving him sideways, away from the Demacian's knee. His hands shot up, catching her leg. Her force was great, but it easy to control. He followed through with her motion, only this time he guided her trajectory. He redirected the force of her knee in a different direction, before pushing her off, sending her spinning towards the newly arrived Aurus.

She landed with a soft *thud* at the feet of Aurus, her back facing the man who she hadn't met before. She didn't seem to notice him as she rose, a disappointed and frustrated look upon her face. She was sure that was going to connect, otherwise she wouldn't have put all her effort into one single attack. With a sigh she rubbed her rear and moved back to the place where they were sparring, either ignoring or unaware of the presence behind her.

Aurus bent over to help the women up, only to be ignored by her. He gave a defeated sigh as she jumped back into the fight, which was then replaced by a smile. He knew what it was like to be absorbed in training. He decided to make himself comfortable while he watched them continue to spar. He sat on the grass and watched.
