Velocity listened and simply nodded as Apporta ran off, leaving Cloudfall and Searing Frost with him. Two students. That was good. A pegasi and a unicorn? Even better. He stood from his chair and magically closed the door behind the duo. He then set off another spell, seeming to make the room brighter for the other two. In all honesty, it was a sealing spell, to lock all the noises in the room, inside the room. The light was simply a side effect.
"I assume the both of you know that this is not a legitimate self defense class. The posters were lined with magical energy to be seen only by those that would be truly interested in what I have to teach. The fact that the school would never allow it, plus the fact nopony else knows I can do more then a basic shield spell are testimony to this." He turned to the pegasus, "For you, I can teach you how to defend yourself from several foes, basics of aerial combat and how to fight with your heart and soul. I can bestow upon you the knowledge of being one with your surroundings, and to be one with the wind." He then turned to the unicorn, "As for you, I can teach you magics filled with great power and wisdom, that some of the greatest unicorns of all time feared using them." He stepped back, eying the both of them, "To do this however, I require something from the both of you. Your silence. Everything I teach you must be kept a secret. Nopony must ever know I have this power. Can I trust the two of you, to be my apprentices? To keep everything you learned here as, 'just something I picked up'? To never EVER breathe a word of what you learned from me to anyone else?"

Only one other showed up, so it was to be a small class. Cloudfall could deal with that. He jumped a little when the door closed, then the room seemed to get brighter. 'Okay... Weird. Unicorns are weird...' he thought and lowered his hood as the teacher pony started speaking.
Cloudfall listened quietly, not like there was much else for him to do. He had a hard time believing the posters were enchanted and the fact that all this was technically not allowed made him a little worried. ...But Velocity's offers were very tempting and could come in handy. Be one with the wind? He liked the sound of that.
Cloudfall nodded in response to Velocity last question, "Quiet is what I do best." he stated, without any hint of bragging.

``But were just ignoring a few silly school rules not breaking any laws right? Cos I'm in enough trouble without breaking the laws.´´Searing looked around and chewed on his lower lip trying to understand the situation. The room looked like an office and Searing knew this pony was a teacher, he seemed to be speaking the truth but could he really have done what he claimed? Why was the other student dressed in cloak that seemed too big for him? The fashion tips were going to have to wait because the teacher seemed like he wanted answers now.
``I give my word too that nopony outside this room will hear anything of these classes from me.´´For some reason Searing had the strangest feeling that school was about to turn interesting.

Velocity grinned at his two new apprentices, telling himself mentally he needed to slow down. He looked to the Unicorn, his grin turning a bit grave. "No lad the rules we'll be breaking won't effect the two of you much, but it'll end my career. I'm not allowed to use magic stronger then what i'm allowed to teach by the school, but with recent events I have felt it necessary to step my teachings up. I have, for as long as I can remember, trained my special talent in secret, away from the ever watching eyes of the ponies here to keep me in check." He walked back towards his desk, stopping at a hat rack and gathering his travelers cloak. "Before you ask why, I may as well tell you. As a colt, I had terrile control over my magic. Anything more then the simple spells they taught in basic classes, it was...chaotic. They began limiting me to the basics till I could learn to control my power. I couldn't. Since I was graduated, I kept training in secret, eventually gaining full control of my magic, but it was to late. The school would not remove their block on my magic for class. Said it was 'to dangerous' for me to teach more then the children should know." He turned back to the duo and looked out the window, "And thats why I called anyone who would listen with the posters. I needed students strong enough, willing enough to learn. Ponies that could use the power taught to them for good. When you two are ready, let me know, and I will teleport us to my private training field."

Well, this whole deal was sounding worth and better the longer he listened. This Unicorn could help him get stronger, but they'd be in for it if they were caught. Cloudfall shrugged, "I'm ready to go when you are." he spoke up, deciding he was already in this far and didn't have a whole lot to lose. Might as well see this through.

Searing stared at Velocity as he turned to get his coat. This teacher seemed scary but intresting and ma always said never to judge a pony by first expression.
``Okay im ready to go too.´´Searing said at velocity giving him a salute. At his fellow student he said: ``you really dont talk much do you?´´

velocity nodded and and lowered his head, wrapping the trio in a large magical bubble, instantly teleporting them to a field that neither of them recognized surrounded by pine trees. THe land looked rugged and well used, almost as if a war had been fought here. He stepped away from the students, knowing full well they would need a moment togather themselves if they werent used to teleportation magic. "Good weather, no breeze, intact students....who I never got the names of, knew I forgot something." He turned back to his pupils, sitting down in the grass. "Right, you know my name, but I failed to get yours. Now, I feel that it is easier to teach ponies when I know their names. So, who are my two pupils?"

Cloudfall simply smirked at Unicorn's comment before they were wrapped in a bubble the and room vanished. A second later he was some where different and he felt very dizzy, and grass under his hooves. He stumbled and fell back on his haunches, holding his head with a hoof. Just that second, he came to the life changing realization that he disliked teleporting. A lot.
Velocity was saying something. Cloud shook his head to clear his thoughts. Names. He wanted his name. "Uh... Cloudfall. From Cloudsdale." He took his moment to final look around where they arrived. They seemed to be in a forest of some sort, he wasn't sure which one, though. He tilted his head back to see if he could see the sky and debated flying up in an attempt to get his bearings, but decided against it for now and looked back to his new teacher.

A backward sneeze, is what the teleportation instructor had said it should feel like when you teleported. But to Searing teleportation always left him feeling like somepony screwed his horn on backwards, and switched his front hoofs with his back hoofs. Planning on sitting on his rump for a second to get his bearings. Searing fell on his back when the ground wasnt were it was suppose to be. quickly getting up he noticed he had tried to sit down on a edge of a small crater: ``Searing, Frost from Hoofington originally. Did you do those holes? were they on purpose? can I learn how to do one too?´´ The tirade of questions stopped as searing looked at the teacher in the eye and wasnt sure if he had just asked too many questions.

Velocity nodded as his sudents gave him their names, and for some reason, their hometowns. He shrugged and smiled at the unicorns question, taking an offensive stance and charging a spell. The spell burst from his horn as a bright bolt of electricity, the bolt flying from his horn and into a nearby boulder, shattering it and leaving a small smoking hole in its place. "Yes, I made these holes. For you, we'll start small, then maybe if you show enough skill and talent, I will teach you more advanced spells. For now, I want you to start with a basic shield spell, and then calm your mind. Picture a small fire inside of your mind, and feed it until you can feel yourself getting warm, and then release it along with the shield spell. you won't get it right the first time, and you may get singed. Be careful." He glanced at Cloudfall, the pegasi seemed out of place in the field, and Velocity knew exactly the spell to remedy that. he closed his eyes and focused for a moment, putting just enough magic into the spell, two appendages appearing from his sides.
Velocity stepped back and inspected his wings from the 24 hour spell, the coloration the same as his pelt, as usual. He lifted off and hovered before the duo, smiling calmly. "As for you, well...lets see if you can beat little ol' me in hoof to hoof combat."

He wanted him to do what? Hoof-to-hoof combat? Right off the bat? Velocity just blew up a rock and gave himself wings, and now he wanted, he expected Cloudfall to fight him. The Pegasus sighed, 'Learn by doing, I guess...' He spread his own wings and hop into the air, except he first flew over to a tree to hang his cloak over a branch before returning to Velocity. "Right..." he swallowed and hovered before the flying Unicorn. 'Just dodge.' he told himself, and it was all he really could do.

Watching the two pegasuses take flight just after his teacher had blown up rock with apparent ease left Searing in the spirit of competition. So learn by failure master by succes it was. All he had to do was manage two spells at the same time and balance them perfectly. Searing closed his eyes imagining a soap bubble in his mind and with in that bubble he made a fire and he began feeding the fire while at the same time keeping the bubble from bursting. Searing was having trouble if he fed the fire the bubble would burst which would be bad but if he strenghtned the bubble the fire would be trapped inside he needed a path for the spell to follow.
Ripples of light run across his horn as he tried to handle two spells at once then suddenly a loud ``CRACK´´ the light from searings horn imploded and small errant lightnings flew of in all directions none doing more then singing the unicorns pelt. After a quick check that he had all four hoofs and his horn Searing closed his eyes again and concentrated in attempt number 8, There as no need to tell teach that it had taken him 7 attempts to produce any visible effects.
Under his breath he spoke a mantra: Feed the fire, feed the fire...

Velocity slowly hovered around Cloudfall, watching both him and Searing. He let out a sigh and flashed his horn, teleporting him down in front of the unicorn. "Alright, cheating time. Take the shield spell, and instead of putting the ifre inside it, wrap the fire around the shield." He looked back up at Cloudfall, still hovering where he left him. "Right, sorry about that. Be right up." He lifted himself back into the air and floated a few yards infront and below Cloudfall, Giving him a grin. "Right, I want you to fly at me with all you've got, and hit me as hard as you can."

Cloudfall blinked as Velocity vanished into thin air. Was this part of the fight? Was he going to try a sneak attack? Was all this a joke to leave them stranded? Then heard the instructor's voice from behind and below him. The Pegasus turned to see him helping the other Unicorn. 'Oh, so that's what he was doing...'
Cloudfall prepared himself once more as his opponent returned and issued an instruction. He wanted him to just attack? So much for his dodging strategy. Well, there was nothing for it then.... Cloudfall took a breath and launched himself at the flying unicorn, a hoof outstretched in front of himself. A straight forward and, frankly, stupid attack.

Searing jumped back little when Teach materialized out of nowhere in front of him giving hints and disappearing again. He fallowed the flight of Velocity with no small amount of wonder keeping up a count of new awesome spells the unicorn knew. Suddenly his eyes were locked in to a fast moving shape in the sky it looked like the pegasus was trying to attack teach with an frontall assault.
``Dude the teach can teleport you gotta attack so he doesnt see you or else hes just gonna pop out the way.´´
Certain that the silent pegasus wasnt going to answer him. Searing once more poured himself in to the spell. this time imagining a bubble that he surrounded with fire, an image he found easy to handle all he had to to was feed the fire to itself and keep it around the bubble. a halo of light engulfed his horn as he poured more and more power to the spell trying to make it work.
