Attempting to smash her armored elbow into Drake's face, Aleksandria laughed and responded, "Exactly! But don't leave yourself open for a counter attack." When Drake pulled down Aleksandria's blade and stepped on it, and before he could bring his own blade up to strike, Aleksandria released her blade with one hand and drove her elbow towards Drake's nose.
She attacked with enough force to stunderstand and knock him back, but she didn't strike hard enough to break his nose. This was not out of not being strong enough to break his nose, rather, she simply held back as to not seriously injure the young lad. Even if Theolandra herself wasn't watching, Alek would not have wanted to incapacitate the man before her teaching could be finished.
When the battlemage first walked into the room, Aleksandria ignored him. However, once he announcedid himself and described his combat orientation, the fiery haired woman couldnt help but burst with laughter. One point being that he named his spear, which wouldn't be so funny if it weren't for the fact that Aleksandria had never heard of the weapon before. If Aleksandria had never heard of it before, then it meant the legend of the weapon was nonexistent and the man just gave it a name to make himself feel special.
"Go back to the kiddie pool, little boy. This is for soldiers, not cowards who wait at the back of the shieldwall to cast spells. The magical college is down the way." Wasting no more air on the man, Aleksandria turned to the class and spoke to them. "Grappling is both your best friend and worst enemy. If you can grab an enemy, you'll have a large advantage over them. But if you are grabbed, then you can be sure you've lost the fight."
Turning back to drake, she smiled and added, "Come at me again."

My nose, Drake thought as he fell down, holding his nose with both hands. It wasn't broken, but still hurt like a son of a. Standing up he heard the instructor mention grappling, shit unarmed combat I'm barely able to fight with a sword. Slowly re-binding the blade to the cord at his side before facing his opponent again. Just for the record before we start this exercise unarmed combat isn't exactly my forte, but your the boss , he said While rubbing his nose to check for non existing blood. Raising his fists, right hand slightly higher than his left he quickly asks, Is this a good stance for unarmed combat? As strange a question that was it was a genuine one, he hadn't taken any course in hand to hand combat, so this would be his first time using his fist for anything besides hitting a wall.

Ilbraum became slightly irritated at the chauvinistic and uppity mannerisms of the lady in front of him. "I don't think you understood me. I fight at the front lines just like anybody else. My blows just tend to burn a bit more." he twirled his spear and hit the button on the side, collapsing it. "But i don't want to waste my time talking to anyone who thinks so highly of themselves. I may catch a slight case of it. Good day to you all." And with that he snapped and the flame wyrm reformed upon his shoulder and he exited the room.

Ignoring the jilted man, Aleksandria nodded at Drake and spoke, "Yes, there is no 'correct' way to stand when trying to grapple. See, I'm not trying to teach you true hand to hand combat, I'm teaching you an aspect of sword combat, hence me not putting down my blade. Now, come at me, I shan't strike you." And indeed, Aleksandria still held her flameberge. With Drake backed up, she rebrandished the weapon and assumed an attack stance.
She had no intention of attacking the boy, however, as such would be not only unfair, but cruel. However, she did want him to attempt to maneuver around her blade to grapple her in a such a way that she would be able not be able to attack him any longer. Hopefully Drake would understand that she did not have bad intentions in mind for him, and simply wished to help him developed his skills.

" Understood," he says as he slowly shifts his left foot around, not enough to draw attention but just enough for a nasty plot to work. Slowly moving forward, his left shoe being loosened with every small step. Once he felt the shoe starting to slip he swiftly kicks his left leg forward, sending it flying at Aleksander. Darting to quickly circle around her left side, while she would have to inevitably stop his shoe. Right arm reached slightly outward, poised to wrap around her neck.
If he were to get his grip set he would turn so he'd be behind her, and would complete the hold. If not his one and only plan would be wasted.

A normal opponent would have never seen it coming, but Alek was no normal opponent. She took careful note of Drake as he shifted his foot, watching him slipping his foot slowly out. Because she promised she would not strike him, she abandoned her carefree attitude momentarily to seriously focus.
As the shoe was sent flying at her, Alek simultaneously pulled up her arms to protect her face and neck from the shoe while jumping to the side and twisting away from Drake's reach. The boy would grasp nothing but air as Alek swifted slipped away and congratulated him. "Excellent strategy! Keep that in mind next time you're fighting someone, you'll catch them off balance for sure. However, I believe we're done. You may all go home, excellent work!"
At that, Alek began gathering her things to wrap up the class. However, she would not leave yet. Like a real teacher, she would see to it that she'd be the last one to leave.

Ilbraum approached the room once more, the woman from before was the only one remaining. He approached her silently and smiled. "Hello, I'm sorry about before. I tend to get a bit overexcited at any form of what I perceive to be someone thinking I am less than a man. My father raised me as such. Anyway, my name is Ilbraum. Aleksandria, correct?" Ilbraum said in as polite a tone as he could. He stuck his hand out to her in offer of a handshake.
