⇨☾⇨Hook Cemetery is a location just outside the immediate vicinity of the DWMA but is still considered to be the school grounds. The entrance to Hook Cemetery is a large wire archway spelling out its name in quirky lettering, supported by two curved pillars tipped with hooks. Packed with gravestones, it is also full of dead trees (their branches all point in one direction) with lots of hooks hanging from them, which gives the place its name. A ghostly fog encompasses the graveyard, making it especially frightening at night.

⇨☾⇨Joan had a suspicion that the graveyard's empty space would be an ideal spot for an impromptu training session with her partner, Rhett. She was correct as once they passed the unsettling gravestones there were a few acres of unused land within the grounds of the DWMA's cemetery. "The professor said that we needed to keep practicing soul resonance." Joan reminded her lazy friend as they completed the long walk from the main campus together. The tall woman took lumbering steps toward their destination yet even her determination was causing her to feel lazy. Perhaps Rhett was rubbing off on her or the road was just long. Either way, she needed to stay organized for Rhett's sake. As well as for her own sake, for that matter. "We also need to work on stance, swinging form, my transformation precision, the general teamwork assignment, your soul wavelength manipulation, and..." The young woman's to do list was extensive and she spoke of it without hesitation or exhaustion. "Anyway, the point is that we can't slack!" Joan shouted awkwardly as they approached the center of their de facto training yard. "Remember your first stances that we learned in class this morning. When you're ready, I'll transform." She spoke once she came to a halt and stared for an uncomfortable amount of time with a demanding glare as she waited for Rhett to do as he was told.

Joan took lead, with Rhett following behind in their usual fashion. Ever since coming here, he had appreciated the steps that the weapon had taken to lead him around and get him interested in classes and such, but he couldn't help but feel guilty for weighing her down. He had seen her marks and exceptional form in class. Sure her control needed work alongside his, but they were still just beginners. Rhett couldn't help but shake the feeling that he was holding her back from something grander though shielded her from such thoughts. The less Joan had to worry about babying him,. the better. So the redhead would look around the graveyard's misshapen tombstones and couldn't resist from growing curious about the eerie environment. "This seems like a good place to practice." he stated shortly in agreement. His partner was a bit of a teacher's pet, if her listing their work to be done was any indication. Joan was a bit excitable at times, and how she listed stuff off would start to wear on Rhett. He frowned and broke eye contact while a feeling of discomfort would wash over him until he'd finally summon up enough courage to speak up. "Joan." Rhett's voice was a bit shaky but trying to get her to summarize everything. He understood what she meant but it was just too much at times. When it came down to it, Rhett would make due and get ready for their little training session. He exhaled and would adjust his coat's sleeves to not bother him in the way before then nodding at Joan. "Ready when you are."
As soon as she transformed, Rhett would instinctively take up the first stance taught of them. Eyes forward, weapon drawn and raised at the proper angle, his footing firmly planted on the ground and ready to alter his location at the slightest notice. His grasp on Joan's handle compared to before made it seem like a totally different person. His firmness on Joan's blade would come as a surprise the first time she would have been handled by him, but Rhett was anything but some slouch in class. "Let's give ourselves a work out this time." he said to his partner, glancing down at her beautiful weapon form. "I wanna show you what I'm made of."

⇨☾⇨This was the most comfortable that Joan had felt in several days. Being in her weapon form allowed her to shrink away from the discomfort she felt in her own skin. She was now the ultimate weapon and all she had to focus on was one thing, helping her meister. Joan felt so much more powerful, in control, and strangely at ease. She was tired of being her tall, lumbering, broad-shouldered self. For now all she had to be was a claymore, her true form. If she could not be elegant as a woman then she would be awe-inspiring as a greatsword instead. Joan perked up as she felt Rhett's confidence when he gripped her handle. She felt safer this way and far more prepared. The anxiety of what they needed to accomplish today melted away and she fell in-sync with Rhett. "Awesome! Let's do this!" Her face was enthusiastic as it was reflected in the long blade of the claymore. Joan took some control as she was swung forward and tried to time it as such that it would work with Rhett's stance. Rhett could sense that she was so much different like this. So much more...assured, perhaps. If he swung the blade with her then he would feel the immense power of the greatsword slash as it sliced through the air. The wind itself would be cut and become a weapon alongside Joan's perfect steel. "This is great, Red! You want to try to combine it with a wavelength move?" Joan was juiced as she was swung and invited Rhett to try out a technique of his own.

The two paired with one another was quite the match. Rhett, the antisocial meister with a drive that was second to none and Joan, the organized weapon that was only really comfortable away from being human. But when ready for a fight, the two were quite capable of such incredible feats among themselves. Rhett enjoyed her in this form, or well, any other form. She had always been so hard on her appearance compared to most other women at the academy and it showed. Her build was much more masculine and lacked the slender pleasantries of what most girls had. But it was just another thing that the boy enjoyed about her. It made her different in his eyes. The good kind that made her stand out more. Of course, he wasn't going to admit that freely if he even knew what followed. To the poor awkward boy, he just really enjoyed her company. Like a really good friend.
He swung her with such ferocity that even the wind was left severed by their strike. The gravestones in their wake wouldn't be harmed much, although the same couldn't be said of the local wildlife. The trees present would lose quite the number of branches and limbs, though no permanent damage would be done at their level. "Mm." A small smile escaped his face as her little nickname for him had always done. Of course, Rhett was entirely too hesitant to try with a nickname for her. Maybe Blue? But that didn't start with a "J". One of these days he'd think of something for her. "Let's do it." he said in response while focusing on his wavelength still gripping his weapon tight. With a moment to charge the connection between themselves, the redhead returned to a neutral stance and would take a single step forward, twisting his hips to the left, and release another downwards swing of his weapon, charged with a weak shock of his wavelength, as crimson colored particles would be left in wake of his swing. "Was that good, Joan?" he asked as that focused facade would begin to fade a little. "Everyone seems to use it way better than I can..."

⇨☾⇨Joan's focus was unyielding even as her partner released a powerful soul wavelength blast. When she was asked how he did by Rhett she just responded strictly. "You can do better." The words were rather terse but her tone was one of encouragement. Her faith in him rang through clearer than a bell. "Let it charge up a bit more and just before you release it I'll use the weapon technique. Maybe it'll strengthen the wavelength attack." She gave him directions based on her many visits to the professor's office hours. She asked questions about how to train from every angle and was clearly annoying her professor. Joan had no regrets, of course, this knowledge was already proving useful. Once Rhett would finish focusing on his technique, Joan focused on her technique. "Stay with me, Red, focus..." The claymore spoke as her face appeared in the shine of the claymore and smiled confidently. At the last moment, she would speak again. "Go!" Rhett would feel himself spin as a twister of perfect slashes and gusts of wind surrounded them. If Rhett stuck the landing then the soul wavelength spell would release with great potency while he was shrouded in the perfect defense from his greatsword. Joan was happy with this as a possible future strategy in a real fight. "Heck yeah! I'm so proud of you!" Joan shouted in genuine glee. It was a level of pride and enthusiasm that Rhett may not have ever heard from the awkwardly quiet sword maiden before.

"Figures..." Rhett let out an audible huff as her evaluation was given. Not good enough for her own tastes, much less his own. This led to the meister pouting to himself while Joan would be able to feel his confidence waning and jumped to lend him her aid, as per usual. She had been quite buddy buddy with the professor and it worked out in some ways that could offer the both of them some well earned help. He paused and listened to her instructions that would result in a cleaner wavelength technique. Holding it in and using it in tandem with her did seem to be a pretty powerful combination. At her lecture's end, Rhett would give another nod of his head. "Right. I'll try it again." Just like before, he focused on his wavelength and take up a stance with the claymore level to his shoulders. Joan would turn her efforts to her own technique. As the two worked together, Rhett could feel the windl surround his form, his feet feeling themselves growing lighter and lighter until Joan have her signal.
With a start, Rhett would take a whirl around, his feet airborne while a parade of perfectly synchronized air blades cut the area to ribbons around him while he leapt into the air. Upon falling down, his wavelength would grow to proper size until he'd finally unleashed what was stored up for such a time, turning the area around them into a damaging field for a moment or so. Upon recovering from landing, Rhett would fix his long, messy hair with one hand while holding the cheering claymore with his free one. "That was amazing, Joan. You truly are something." He said, surprised to see the usually quiet weapon on such a streak of energy. "I can't take all the credit, though. You're the one who's always teaching me."

⇨☾⇨Joan could not hold back a giggle when Rhett huffed in response to her feedback. She enjoyed his subtle yet exasperated reactions to her high standards for him. But of course, as soon as Joan required more from him he absolutely nailed it. "Don't say things like that. You're my meister. I need you just as much as you need me." Joan responded overly seriously to Rhett downplaying his role in this. She was perhaps being too stern and sincere for what the situation called for but she did not really recognize it on her own. She always got the sense that Rhett felt an imbalance in the partnership and she was determined to address it as best she could without embarrassing him.
⇨☾⇨After a couple more hours of intense soul resonance and weapon training, Joan would transform back into her human form. She immediately tensed up as a result of being in her human form. "I think we've earned a break. Wanna go to Death City?" Assuming that Rhett said yes, she would lead the way to, of course, Deathbucks Cafe.
