"I don't have all the answers." He said looming at Kris.
"However, it's fact that we can't protect these new hero's alone. I think I could possibly take that red knight but no one more. They are strong as is. Not to mention any other threat that could come on the way."
John H looked at John L
"We can teach you. First comes learning what you're good at and finding a magic that suits you."

Oriana just stood there, not saying a word. She wanted to say that she had no interest in magic as a paladin, but from what she heard, that may not make her look good as a potential hero. She really was not a big magic user, but she felt like she had no choice but to learn some if she were to defend herself. However, she did have an idea. "I may not be a magic user, but I think I could defend myself with a shield. I just need to find materials to make one. Would that be okay with you?" Oriana asked Kris and John H.
"Nah don't worry about that" james says to oriana and hands her his falcon shield. "It's a bit heavy so be careful" he says. "It has high resistance to magic and physical damage. It's saved my life on so many occasions so I'm sure it'll do you some good in the battlefield."
Oriana glanced at the shield with amazement. He was right...it was a bit heavy, but she was used to it. She had carried shields a bit heavier than the one James handed her. Oriana smiled as she looked at the shield once more. "Thank you, James. I do appreciate it. I promise to protect it with my life," she told James. "You can bet on it."
"You protect it with your life? It's more like the other way around that thing has withstood some serious punshment. I would know, but anyways with these reinforced gloves I can still parry a blade without cutting my hand." James says to her "By the way it's main magic resists are dark and light magic but it still resists all other kinds just not as well."
John L gazed upwards in a silent prayer of thanks. Finally, they were making some headway.
"I have some drill training in the use of a baton as a weapon and some basic hand-to-hand combat but no advanced instruction or practice. Other than that, my military skills only encompass firearms, rapid deployment and jungle survival. Perhaps I could use a crossbow for the time being? Otherwise, I'd like to see what we have in the way of melee weapons. I'm also studying physics now, so if I could perhaps learn how to apply physical concepts to magic that might accelerate my learning process. I have a knack for thermal physics and electricity in particular but am also well-versed in mechanics and waves."
John turned to look at the shield Oriana was given. He then realised that his mobility would be affected if he were to wear heavy armour.
"I just realised, armour may be a problem. I think I can wear half-plate at best, but full plate would really hamper a lot of my training. Also, no shields please, I would prefer learning how to parry with a dual weapons or a two-handed one."

"Parrying mainly requires a shield where I'm from or you can use your hand if you have the strength. It's a simple action stopping an attack allowing you to follow through with a riposte. Here I'll demonstrate so John the big guard one attack me I'll demonstrate the parry." James says to john l and john h as he readies the holy sword.
*John H looks at James. *
"Please allow me to attack. Show me your parry technique" he said with a grin
John draws his dagger and comes at James with a few half strength lunges and slashes.
Though he's not trying he still has more strength, speed, and skill than most elite army soldiers in the kingdom.
Meaning when John gets serious he's a force to be reckoned with.

James dodges the first couple of swings then takes the chance and parries john's dagger and grabs his shoulder and take the holy sword holds it up to his chest. "Try me" he says
Oriana stood there, amazed at the fighting techniques of the men in front of her. She had no idea that it took that much skill to fight. She did had some fighting skill...just not as advanced as John H and James. Oriana paid careful attention to the fight, from the dodges to the parries, and even the swings of their weapons. "Hmmm..." she mumbled to herself as the men in front of her kept fighting.
Angleo, who was accidentally teleported by Arisa back to Alfrueta from Orion, began to stretch and yawn in the corner of the room. He looked around, groggily. "Wait a second. This isn't my room." He looked right at Oriana and John. "And who are these people?" He yawned again as he appeared to almost fall asleep once again.
John noticed Angelo and took a took power step backwards disengaging James.
"Hey Angelo. Long time no see." He said with a quick salute
"Hey Angelo. Long time no see." He said with a quick salute
"U-um...Angelo...they're the new heroes...apparently this time we have someone from a different timeline and...dimension...so..." Arisa said.
Oriana shook her head once more. "This should be interesting," she mumbled to herself. She then turned to the man named Angelo and introduced herself. "I'm Oriana Godfrey, a paladin-in-training, if you will. I am quite skilled at making weapons and fighting, but alas..." Oriana sighed. "...I'm one of a few paladins from my world that have no magic usage." She held out her hand for Angelo to shake. "Nice to meet you," she said with a cheeky grin on her face.
"Wait, aren't they almost always from a different dimension?" He stood with a stretch and looked at John as he shook Oriana's hand. "Why are you saluting me? You aren't part of Trios so I'm not your superior." He sat down and willed his spellbook in front of him and flipped through the pages.
John looked at Angelo and chuckled.
"Sorry it's force of habit I am a soldier after all. I salut those I respect."
John's body language loosened up a bit. The sparing match between himself and James seemed to be over.
His gaze shifted towards Orriana and John L.
"I don't believe I introduced myself either. I'm John." He said with a gentle smile.
He started walking towards them extending his arm to shake their hands. "I am here to protect you hero's. The king dispatched me from his Royal guard to be here."

James sheathes his sword and heads out to find his estus flask remembering he lost it at one point. "I need to find that flask before someone else does or we could be in serious danger" he says to himself. "13 full heals in the wrong hands is dangerous in a place like this." He continues talking as he looks around the inside of the guild area.
John observed in silence, watching closely and trying to assimilate the motions in his head. He wasn't a particularly fast learner but he was intelligent enough to fill in the gaps, sometimes creating a new style or method just by winging it.
When Angelo came in and Halthorn saluted, he put on his beret and saluted as well, thinking Angelo to be a high-ranking officer of a sort and facepalmed when Angelo clarified that he wasn't in the same chain of command as Halthorn.
Turning to Halthorn, he asked, "while I'm a fairly decent visual learner, I think I learn best when I actually go through the motion. Could I maybe get a practice sword and spar against an instructor?"

John looked at John L.
"We can definantly teach you but as you can see we are in a little bit of a frenzy here. Once we all figure out what's going we will make a plan"
He walked over to John L and Orianna with his left hand and his right he put one hand on both their shoulders.
"Right now you're safe. Just please be a little patient alright?" He said with a reassuring and confident look.
"Let us talk. How about you go explore the guild a bit. Get a feel the place but do not leave the guild. Until one of us find you. Then we can start with all the training and questions. Alright?"

Oriana nodded. "I can manage that," she responded with a confident grin on her face. "Now, where to start...?" She looked around trying to find a place where could explore the guild hall. "Hmmm...I think I'll go this way," Oriana stated, heading toward the left. She took a few steps forward and turned to John L. "You are welcome to come with me if you'd like," she called out to him.
