Silentpaw's gaze followed the direction of Newtbelly's gesture, his mind instantly working to figure out what the best route for the sneaking would be. Giving his mentor a brief nod, he dropped down low again, slinking behind another tree so he was hidden behind it, away from the hypothetical cat's view. He slowed, making his way towards the other tree he had been told to get to.
His gaze stayed fixed on his paws, determined to now step on anything that would make noise. Though, this action did result in him almost running into some other trees in the way. He internally shook his head. He had to focus on all of it at once.
As soon as he was close enough to the tree, he sped up slightly, quickly slipping behind the trunk. He then poked his head out, looking to Newtbelly expectantly.
Newtbelly watched as the apprentice slunk round the trees - he hid it decently, but he was proud. "Perfect," he smiled. "How about we test it on some prey?" Stealth was often a hard one to practice, but tracking prey should help. Newtbelly scented the air, hoping to get a wiff of something - what was that? Rat? "There's a rat somewhere round here," he crouched, searching for a scent trail of some kind. "Do you smell that?" Newtbelly was an okay hunter - decent, but nothing special. Maybe Silentpaw would be able to pick up the trail?

Hunting? Oh, of course. Silentpaw could do some hunting, of course. He would call himself a decent hunter. He hadn't missed a single piece of prey. Well, he'd only caught one mouse, but that was still something.
He perked up as a strange yet familiar scent reached his nose. He stilled, attempting to locate where the scent was coming from. Seems like Newtbelly had noticed it as well. Silentpaw couldn't help but feel pride in scenting it before Newtbelly had. He nodded, barely even comprehending what the warrior had asked fully, before dropping into a crouch and trailing through the forest floor.
And... Aha. There it was.
He had located the scent trail this rat had left, and he wasted no second in following it. He began to slow as the scent became stronger, and ultimately stopped in his tracks. He was getting the track of hunting, and sneaking and all that. He eyed the small furry creature through dark blue eyes, lowering his body so his belly was almost touching the ground. Not bothering to wait for Newtbelly's command, Silentpaw was quick to begin stalking it, however stopped a distance away.
He paused, not moving for a long time. He watched the rat through narrowed eyes, claws unsheathing. He steadied his forepaws, putting more weight onto his hind legs.
Then, as soon as the rat began moving, he leapt at it, grasping it in unsheathed claws. He leaned down to bite down at its neck, killing it instantly. He held the limp prey in his jaws, and trotted over to where his mentor was.

Almost instantly, Silentpaw was in a hunter's crouch. For now, Newtbelly would wait here - he didn't want to scare the prey off. The apprentices movements were calculated, well thought out. Then, his leap - perfect again. Far better than Newtbelly's would have been at such an age. It seemed Silentpaw had a natural prowess for hunting. The prey was brought over swiftly - "Nice job, certainly better than I could've done." he purred a little, proud of the kid.
What now? More hunting could be good for stealth training, but he didn't want the training to get too same-ey. Maybe an introduction to battle? The day was still young, after all. "Right, we've got plenty of time today, if you'd be up for more training?" he looked to Silentpaw. "The Grotto's far more open, if you'd like to start on some battle basics?"

Silentpaw quickly buried the rat he had caught in the ground, turning to Newtbelly. He fought to keep himself from smiling. It felt good, is he was being honest, to know that his mentor was proud. Perhaps now, he could finally make his mother proud.
And battle training was exactly what she'd want him to do.
The tortoiseshell tabby tom gave a quick, breif nod, scanning his surroundings to make sure he'd remember where he had buried the prey.

The tortoiseshell tabby tom gave a quick, breif nod, scanning his surroundings to make sure he'd remember where he had buried the prey.
He led the two of them into the green clearing - a strangely picturesque place for battle training. Now, where to start? With Tickpaw, he'd asked him what he'd do, but that certainly wouldn't work here. Maybe they should just start out with basic moves.
"Let's start out with some basic moves before we get into it," he blinked. Silentpaw already knew how to sneak - and he was good at it - Newtbelly would love to teach him how to apply that to battle, but he had to remind himself - one thing at a time. "The front paw strike, and front paw blow." "With the front paw blow, you keep your claws sheathed." He demonstrated, wacking his paw downwards, "and bring it down on your opponent's head." He'd never been partial to the attack - what was the point in fighting without claws? Nevertheless, it was one of the fundamentals, so he'd teach it anyway. "Is it useless? Possibly. But it's good to learn. 'Spose it's good for friendly spars, or if you're fighting a cat far weaker than yourself?"
Then for the better of the two, "The front paw strike - or forepaw slash," he demonstrated, slashing at the air with his paw. "Claws out, you slice downward with your paw. You aim this at the face or body of your opponent." He then demonstrated the two again, highlighting the differences. "So the blow's aimed at the head - claws sheathed - whilst the strike's aimed at the face or body, claws unsheathed. You wanna give them a try?"

Finally, some battle training. He was quite looking forward to it. He stood a small distance away from Newtbelly, watching his demonstrations. The front paw blow. What was the point of it? Possibly to knock someone to the ground. He supposed it did not really serve a lot of purpose in real battles. Now, the strike, he was interested. He flexed his own claws as his mentor demonstrated.
He nodded once, and not wanting to hit his own mentor, he decided to just attack the air, like what Newtbelly had done. He swung his paw downwards, attempting to mimic his mentor, claws sheathed. He did it once more with the other paw in an attempt to grow more used to the move.
He then unsheathed his needle-like claws, flexing them for a moment before slashing at the air. It felt nice. The last time he'd used his claws on someone was when he was only a kit, and that had been an accident. It felt great to know his claws would finally be of purpose.
