James cleared his throat, "Come on Alex, Eric's going to take you training." James informed him. "Ok." Alex said. Both James and Eric blinked in surprise, they had expected him to refuse and make things difficult. "Actually, I was hoping for you to come along as well James, later I'll need someone else to be there for Alex to train with. Preferably someone who will be around a lot and can help him when I cannot." Eric explained. 

James nodded, "Ok. I'll come along, is there anything -" "I tell you what you need to do, don't worry." Eric smiled. Alex stood up, bringing Tsumai with her. "You can come too if you want." Eric told Tsumai, not wanting her to feel left out or anything.  

Eric came to wrap his arm around Alex, making sure that Alex was ready to move before he did anything else. "Follow me." He said, before he appeared somewhere in the Forrest, away from the rest of the people in the village that could possible distract Alex or make his training harder for him.

Alex grunted on impact, not expecting the sudden stop though he had known it was coming. "Where are we?" Alex asked, looking around blindly. "We're training in the forrest. It'll be easier for you." Eric explained. 

James came soon after, "Ok. What now?" He asked, looking around the clearing. "I'll tell you what to do when it time for that, but until then just don't get in the way." Eric said. James nodded and took a few steps back just in case. Eric let go of Alex and stepped back and went over the process he told Alex the last time. Clear mind. Alex cleared his mind and waited to be told what to do.

"Ok, Alexander, you know how bats are blind but they send out echo location to see? Thats what you're going to do, but with chakra." Eric explained. Alex nodded, not sure how in the fiery pits he was going to do that. "I've set out obstacles, and I want you to guide yourself around them without anyone else's help." Eric told him. "Uhm, how?" Alex asked, started to get uncomfortable with the situation. "Just throw your chakra out around you and when it bounces off an ob
ject it'll come back and show you a ruff image of whats in front of you." Eric explained, "Now, begin."

James smiled at Tsumai, "Go Alex!" he encouraged.

Eric smiled, "Again Alexander! And again and again!" He said, clapping his hands together. Alex grumbled, "Again and again..." He moved forward again, sending out chakra. He repeated the routine until Eric stopped him. "Ok, memorizing the obstacles won't help you any." he said as he rearranged them. But now Alex was getting good at his so he set up more challenging obstacles.

Alex started again, the obstacles moved now so he had to dodge them and get around them without touching them too. He finished, breathing slightly harder than normal. Eric walked up to him, standing him up straight with a touch. "Ok, now I want you to read our chakras, that way you can see people by their chakra points." Alex frowned, he could barely read Eric's chakra and he was standing right in front of him. "This takes a lot of concentration." Eric said, reading his facial features.

(oops)

Alex concentrated and read Eric chakra, "Ok." Alex said slowly when he  could actually visualize Eric chakra pattern and follow it. "Good, now point at me so that I know you're doing it right." Eric instructed. Alex pointed at him, feeling dumb for doing so but knew it was necessary. "ow, keep your finger on me while I move." Eric instructed and moved slowly, Alex kept pointing at him so he moved faster. 

( I wanna skip his training D; ) 

(Yay!)

Alex stood panting, his back against a tree. Training was hard today, couldn't remember how long it's been since he was this tired after a session. "You ok?" Eric asked, concerned for his friend. Alex's chakra was almost completely gone but he answered, "Yea~ Just rested." He said, a kunai gripped tightly as he wiped his forehead. "You did good, Alexander." Eric told him. Alex smiled, a real smile. "Thanks." He said, then slid down the tree and sat on the ground.
