Velocity sighed and easily dodged Cloudfall, turning to face him once more. "A straight frontal assault will only work once and that is on the simplest of creatures. If you trully want to hurt your opponent, you need to use the land and sky against them. What advantage do you have? Does your enemy have any blind spots? A known weakness you can exploit?" Velocity flew straight up, casting a lighting spell into a small cloud, flying around and around the cloud at an ever increasing speed until the heavily jolted cloud flew out like an arrow, flying directly at Cloudfall. "If you really want to fight, you have to do so with your heart and soul! Not just your body!"

Cloudfall righted himself and turned to keep Velocity in view. He knew his attack wouldn't work. He wasn't fighting mindless spider minions anymore, but another pony. A pony with a horn and magic wings. He was fighting a false Alicorn. It was at about this moment, which was also about the time his teacher was working on his lightning cloud, that Cloudfall started to doubt the fairness of this "lesson".
As the electric cloud flew at him, Cloudfall did a midair roll to the side, just barely avoiding the attack. He glanced back, the air crackling next to him, then back to his "Teacher".
"That's cheating! I thought this was hoof-to-hoof?!" He pointed an accusing hoof at Velocity.

The glow on Searings horn faltered as the sudden crack of thunder sounded from the storm cloud Velocity had created in a desperate and foolish attempt to regain controll of the spell Searing poured more power to his horn.
A succes! thought searing as he shot a bolt of energy up in the sky where it hit the miniature storm cloud and made it turn blue and start raining water that quicly turned to sleet and snow he had just managed to use his transferall spell at range meaning the casting had failed feeling the heat flow in to him Searing stomped angrily declaring: ``Dumb spell.ยดยด
Angry at him self Searing tried again to make the spell work.

Velocity grinned at his pupil. "I never said it was strictly hoof to hoof, simply that I wanted to test your skills. So far you seem exceptionally well at taking evasive maneuvers, but that is it. Tell me, why are you learning to fight?" He bolted in a downward arc at the pegasus. "Because so far all i'm seeing is a stallion that can't stand his ground!"

Cloudfall huffed, 'Well, isn't that some fine print for you...' he thought as he crossed his forelegs and stared at Velocity. He opened his mouth to respond to his Teacher, to try to explain why he was here, but didn't have time as the false Alicorn charged at him, yelling more taunts.
Velocity was right, though. He wasn't much at standing his ground, but he was good at dodging. When Velocity got closer, Cloudfall would try to jerk himself upward, to go over the flying unicorn's head and, as he passed under him, slam a hoof down at his Teacher's back.
