Sensory Deprivation Combat Training; Monday, Third Period [02/06].
The Danger Shop was quite a bit different, this week, the most noteable differences being that the room, while still somewhat blank and non-descript, was incredibly brightly lit, perhaps jarringly so, with the way the class was used to it being so cloaked in darkness, and the fact that Ignis was not alone in waiting for them. Looming over even Ignis' substantial height, Gladio stood slightly behind, with a faint grin on his face and his arms folded over his chest, as everyone arrived.
"Everyone," Ignis nodded, starting as the alarm on his watch alerted him to the precise time to begin class, "this is Gladiolus Amicita, a good friend of mine and currently the phys ed teacher here at the school. Since we have mostly finished our unit working with visual deprivation, I've invited him to come assist the class in our next focus, since he is far better equipped for it than I am, and that is audio."
"Which means," Gladio offered the class with a snort and a grin, "at least you won't have to listen to me yammering on too much, right? For our first run, things are going to be pretty simple. Once I've done explaining and you've had the chance to ask any questions, we're going to cut off all sound in the room. I've tried it before, it's really eerie how effective it can be, and it definitely takes some getting used to. You wouldn't think sound plays that much into what we notice, but you might be surprised. So, just to get used to it, we've got a course set up with a few moving targets and obstacles, and your task is going to be to find all the targets and hit them before they have a chance to find and hit you. You can see them, but you won't be able to hear them. Or anything else, for that matter."
"There will be," Ignis offered, "red buttons scattered around the course, so that if there is an emergency, you can press one and the sound will trigger back on. Unless that happens, I leave you in Mr. Amicitia's skillful hands, as I won't be much use once the sound cuts out."
"In other words," Gladio said, throwing the students a wink, "it'll be a good time to take him out. Alright, let's get this course up and go over it once again, and then we'll set you off to see how it feels."
