School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[Chou Blaster]

"When do we get time to ourselves?"


:Since he well had tme to train and pratice on his art, by himself. As after grandpa. and his crazy antics. Does not truely respect the studnet/teacher role. He would rather be training himself. His own way.:

[Guy1]

Jericho finally nodded.


"Alright then, as I said, my name is Intructor Jericho Mourn, and I'll be your primary intructor here at Arcadia. Before we head up to your Dorm, are there and questions that need answering?"

"Exactly how big is this school?" Whinsky asked.

[Ghost]

"What can you tell us about the dorms?" Rhia added.

[Silver Knight]

"What will our training regimine consist of? Kekowa asked with a note of concern.

Jericho Mourn, Jericho Mourn. I know Ive heard that name somewhere Kekowa started to remeber a vague memory. From his time in Tailand watching a fight on the TV... My god I know who he is now, my people told me rumers but I never thought he'd be here they say he retired ten years ago. Dear Buddha, the "Iron Cross" as a teacher. I best keep this knowledge to myself.

[Corey Dreher]

OT: Hey Cleric, did you get my PM??

IC: Ramon started to speak. "Since at the base it is a school, does that mean we will have exams, test, homework, etc?" Ramon itched his chind absentmindly as he also asked, "How excatly are you going to accomodate all of the different powers? I mean psychics are obviously going to have an easier time taking a test, versus a fighting master."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: I actually asked this question just now on page 31, though I've edited it a little now.

BTC: He turned to the teacher, Jericho Mourn. Intelligence gathering had been able to provide him with the identities of most of the key staff within the school, though their actual personality profiles remained a tad sparse.

" Mr. Mourn, may I enquire about the nature of our accomodation? How many people will be sleeping per room? And, if the numbers are small, are we able to choose who we bunk with?"

"You are all part of Dragon Dorm. Each dorm is essentially a large building with multiple rooms tailor made to fit your accomidations. For example, if you wisj to share a room, that is allowed as long as it is same sex. If you wish a room to yourself, that is fine aswell."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Tamiko raised her hand and stepped forward, "Excuse me, Mr. Mourn, I have a question. Did you know a teacher named Gregory Gilliam? He was my teacher at my other school. When he first told me about this Academy, he mentioned that he was once an Instructor here."

Jericho smiled.


"Indeed Ms. Kessler, I know Gregory. A good man and teacher. We were all sorry to see him leave Arcadia."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Ramus bowed at Mr Ourn, then introduced himself



Jericho bowed back.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"When do we get time to ourselves?"


:Since he well had tme to train and pratice on his art, by himself. As after grandpa. and his crazy antics. Does not truely respect the studnet/teacher role. He would rather be training himself. His own way.:

"There will be time for yourself. However, you will be expecetd to work in groups."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Exactly how big is this school?" Whinsky asked.

Jericho smiled mysteriously.

"As big as it needs to be."

[Miburohunter929]

"Hmm.....What are your rules regarding.... "Disputes" among students?" Dean asked while adjusting his headband.

"I doubt you'd allow us all to kick each others asses in the hallways, ya?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"What can you tell us about the dorms?" Rhia added.

"There are five other dorms on Arcadia other then Dragon. Phoenix, Lion, Slyph, Wolf, and Norn. Each is specific to the Intructors that work there."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Hey Cleric, did you get my PM??

IC: Ramon started to speak. "Since at the base it is a school, does that mean we will have exams, test, homework, etc?" Ramon itched his chind absentmindly as he also asked, "How excatly are you going to accomodate all of the different powers? I mean psychics are obviously going to have an easier time taking a test, versus a fighting master."

"Oh, it's not quite your average school. Trust me, you'll find the answers to these questions soon enough."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"What will our training regimine consist of? Kekowa asked with a note of concern.

Jericho Mourn, Jericho Mourn. I know Ive heard that name somewhere Kekowa started to remeber a vague memory. From his time in Tailand watching a fight on the TV... My god I know who he is now, my people told me rumers but I never thought he'd be here they say he retired ten years ago. Dear Buddha, the "Iron Cross" as a teacher. I best keep this knowledge to myself.

"A combination of many things. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual training will be just some of what we do."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Hmm.....What are your rules regarding.... "Disputes" among students?" Dean asked while adjusting his headband.

"I doubt you'd allow us all to kick each others asses in the hallways, ya?"

"We know that arguments can lead to confrontations. There is a 'ring' where disputes are settled, under Intructor supervision."

[Guy1]

Jericho smiled mysteriously.

"As big as it needs to be."

(It's official, I'll need a map.) Whinsky thought to herself.
"I see, Kamsahamneeda teacher." Whinsky said and bowed to him.

[Yun Lao]

Having waited for most answers to be answer, Levi finally spoke, "Forgive me for asking, but what exactly is Arcadia's mission? Is there a battle we must prepare for, or was it made just so people can learn about the supernatural?"

[Silver Knight]

"A combination of many things. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual training will be just some of what we do."

Imteresting Kekowa thought. Instead of training hard and foucusing on one discipline I will recive a mixture of many.

Although I'd far prefer to work with my fists I guess it couldnt hurt.

"Master" Kekowa said "Would it be possibl;e for us to do some training on our own. Like a gym for us to punch bags and lift weights?"

OOC: Hey yun you want to be bunkmates? or do you want your charecter to be solidary

[Chou Blaster]

"There will be time for yourself. However, you will be expecetd to work in groups."


I can live with that.


:Bows and then wodners what was next.:

:As he walek dalong an dntoed his class mate smentally.:

[Ghost]

"A combination of many things. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual training will be just some of what we do."

Rhia smiled. "Just what I was looking for," she whispered to herself.

[Chrosis]

Peter sat there, watching the others with moderate disinterest. He was idly playing his guitar, trying to tune it since the rain had soaked the strings.

The spell weaving, guitar playing, sword swinging, wanderer looked up from his guitar, "Just how long are we going to be here, anyway?"

[Eternal Torment]

"You are all part of Dragon Dorm. Each dorm is essentially a large building with multiple rooms tailor made to fit your accomidations. For example, if you wisj to share a room, that is allowed as long as it is same sex. If you wish a room to yourself, that is fine aswell."

"I think I'll share a room with Rhia, if I can. She'd be a great roommate."

"A combination of many things. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual training will be just some of what we do."

"Emotions...and spirit. This will be hellish, Ike. Hopefully, I'll have Rhia to help me through all of that."

"You better figure something out in case she can't, Lexie. Those two things are our biggest problems. No heart means no ass-kicking."

[Froggy]

Jericho bowed back.

Ramus listened in on jericho's responses to the other students. "this will be.....interesting"

[Chou Blaster]

: How much longer would he have to wait,h ell, all fo them, ahve to wait. He has no diea. He just wishes the prgoram would getstarted.:

"When is this $*!@ gonig to staart already?"

:Yes, he cna ahve a foul mouth at times, and willing to embrace it.:

[The Dog]

Peter sat there, watching the others with moderate disinterest. He was idly playing his guitar, trying to tune it since the rain had soaked the strings.

The spell weaving, guitar playing, sword swinging, wanderer looked up from his guitar, "Just how long are we going to be here, anyway?"

"Probably long enough to learn what they wish to teach us." Selma said, crossing her arms over her chest and nodding, as if approving her own statement.

[Ghost]

"I think I'll share a room with Rhia, if I can. She'd be a great roommate."

"Emotions...and spirit. This will be hellish, Ike. Hopefully, I'll have Rhia to help me through all of that."

"You better figure something out in case she can't, Lexie. Those two things are our biggest problems. No heart means no ass-kicking."

Spotting Alexia, Rhia approached her and smiled. "Seems like we'll be installed her in no-time. I can't wait to start the training; I'm getting all giddy thinking about it."

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Spotting Alexia, Rhia approached her and smiled. "Seems like we'll be installed her in no-time. I can't wait to start the training; I'm getting all giddy thinking about it."

"I hope there will be some quite places so I can meditate in peace.."

OOC: I'll be away for a couple of hours.... Not that'll make much of a difference...

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.


Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.


A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.


"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

[Ghost]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.

Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.

A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.

"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

Rhia stared, mouth open. Without thinking, she had placed a hand on her sword the moment she heard the roar, but it was already defeated at the hands of the mysterious warrior before she had time to do anything else.

"Wow..." she breathed.

[Silver Knight]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.


Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.

Note to self Kekowa thought Never Make that guy your enemy

A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.

"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

Selma blinked in surprise at the giant dragon, then again at the knight who had defeated it.

"AWESOME!"

Selma began pointing to the shining knight and looking to Jericho as she asked "Is it possible for me to learn to be as cool as him?"

"What she said!" Rhia yelled in addition.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Kagura stared in wonder at the dragon, Majestic, she thought to herself.

"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

"Well... that was interesting.." Justin said to himself.

[Eternal Torment]

Spotting Alexia, Rhia approached her and smiled. "Seems like we'll be installed her in no-time. I can't wait to start the training; I'm getting all giddy thinking about it."

"Indeed. Ummm....Rhia....." Alexia looked embarassed for a second. "Do you mind if I stay in your room?"

"Wow, you're social today, Lexie."

"I'm getting too ahead of myself, Ike. I am moving too fast, and I might end up an emotional wreck if I don't slow down. Asking to share a room with her is too big of a leap for me. Maybe I should retract my question."

[Ghost]

"Indeed. Ummm....Rhia....." Alexia looked embarassed for a second. "Do you mind if I stay in your room?"

"Wow, you're social today, Lexie."

"I'm getting too ahead of myself, Ike. I am moving too fast, and I might end up an emotional wreck if I don't slow down. Asking to share a room with her is too big of a leap for me. Maybe I should retract my question."

She looks positively terrified, Rhia thought. She felt touched; asking that must have been a big step for Alexia.

"Of course you can stay with me, if you want to," she said softly. "I was actually thinking about asking you myself, but I didn't want to pressure you into anything."

[Guy1]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.


Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.


A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.

"COOL!" Whinsky exclaimed.

[Eternal Torment]

"Of course you can stay with me, if you want to," she said softly. "I was actually thinking about asking you myself, but I didn't want to pressure you into anything."

Alexia looked at Rhia in surprise.

"R..really? Oh...well, that's good to hear. Need help with your luggage?"

She smiled for what seemed like the millionth time today.

"This day is definitely a new beginning for me."

"Couldn't agree with you more there, babe. Couldn't agree with you more."

[Chou Blaster]

: Daichi saw this act as well and smiles, a she began to thinking.:


Damn I'll like to learn that trick.

:As he well composed himself and did not acally speak in terms of what happened.. Looking around at the others tohguh and their reatinos.:

[Ghost]

Alexia looked at Rhia in surprise.

"R..really? Oh...well, that's good to hear. Need help with your luggage?"

She smiled for what seemed like the millionth time today.

"This day is definitely a new beginning for me."

"Couldn't agree with you more there, babe. Couldn't agree with you more."

"Nah, I just brought along the essentials," Rhia said, holding her bag up. It was big enough to carry an entire wardrobe, and from the looks of it, probably did. "Nothing I can't handle. But thanks for the offer."

I really have no idea what I'm getting myself into, she thought. But that was okay; she was helping someone out and it really felt great.

After all, this is what he would have done.

"It's no problem. I didn't bring much, either." Alexia lifted her duffel bag. "I don't have a large amount of clothing, so this was easy to pack."

[Miburohunter929]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.


Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.


A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.


"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."


"Pfft. I could do that" Dean muttered under his breath while staring at the fallen dragon.

I'd probally have been seriously wounded, but I could have done it all the same.

[Yun Lao]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.

"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

"A shame..." Wei Levi murmured as he looked to the dragon.

[Chou Blaster]

"A shame..." Wei Levi murmured as he looked to the dragon.



'Yeha I do not blame you, wanted to fight the thing too, in all honesty."


:He was crazy like that.:

[Yun Lao]

'Yeha I do not blame you, wanted to fight the thing too, in all honesty."


:He was crazy like that.:

He raised a brow. Though what Levi meant was that it was a shame that such a noble creature had to be killed, but he wouldn't correct him.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

He raised a brow. Though what Levi meant was that it was a shame that such a noble creature had to be killed, but he wouldn't correct him.

Kagura noticed Levi's raised brow, and asked quietly, "You too?"

[Yun Lao]

Kagura noticed Levi's raised brow, and asked quietly, "You too?"

Nodding, he looked back to the dragon once more; index and middle fingers raised in a slight prayer, "May your journey back to the heavens be quick and peaceful."

[GrampaGen]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.


Jericho spun around, eyes scanning the woods and sky when a giant dragon burst from the trees and fell, dead, about 100 yards away from Jericho and the students.


A shining knight, over 7 feet tall, with energy crackling around him, suddenly phased through the dragon, a large sword in one hand and the beats heart i nanother.


"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."

Natalie stood dumbfounded. Never before had she seen such a beast fallen like that.

Mein Gottin! Are wyverns all over the campus? What's next? Should I expect Brownies on the doorsteps?! I don't have any milk *or* bread!

A great spiritual prescence radiated from the Guardian. Face obscured, it would be hard to presume underneath was any sort of flesh and blood man, and certainly that was the last thing to enter her mind.

"...they teach Familiar Possession here?"

[Ant Crown]

A roar suddenly filled the air, sundering the students talking.

"Ah, seems the Guardian took care of the beast."
"Awe-Fricken-Some" Tenma whispered as he sat on his ass.

[Chrosis]

Peter had been about to reply to Selma when the Guardian had slain the dragon.

He stared for a while, looked over at the guardian, then back at the dragon corpse.

"Any chance I could learn how to do that?"

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Nodding, he looked back to the dragon once more; index and middle fingers raised in a slight prayer, "May your journey back to the heavens be quick and peaceful."

Kagura clapped twice and bowed solemnly.

[Ghost]

"Awe-Fricken-Some" Tenma whispered as he sat on his ass.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Rhia said. She was actually trembling a bit, though from excitement rather then fear. She grinned. "That guy might even be stronger then Shamra. I knew coming here was a good idea!"

[GrampaGen]

Kagura clapped twice and bowed solemnly.

While the gathering was largely swept in feelings of shock and awe, Natalie sensed but a few of her peers in mourning. Curious, she walked over to them.

"Perhaps the iron guardian was excessive, ja?"

[Ghost]

While the gathering was largely swept in feelings of shock and awe, Natalie sensed but a few of her peers in mourning. Curious, she walked over to them.

"Perhaps the iron guardian was excessive, ja?"

Rhia glanced at the dragon. It was very big, and had enormous, sharp teeth.

"I dunno," she said. "Maybe the dragon attacked him, or wanted a few fresh students for dinner? Anyway, I hope stuff like this doesn't happen regularely."

[GrampaGen]

Rhia glanced at the dragon. It was very big, and had enormous, sharp teeth.

"I dunno," she said. "Maybe the dragon attacked him, or wanted a few fresh students for dinner? Anyway, I hope stuff like this doesn't happen regularely."

"Ja...if there are wild dragons here, perhaps there are creatures of greater sorts," Natalie replied, "i wonder what other creatures there are..."

She heard a rustling in the treetops, most likely the wind, but being on edge plays with the imagination.

"You don't suppose there are gremlins here?!"

[Tami]

Jericho smiled.


"Indeed Ms. Kessler, I know Gregory. A good man and teacher. We were all sorry to see him leave Arcadia."

"Then you haven't heard about what happened to him, have you?" Tamiko's sadness came through as she spoke softly.

[Yun Lao]

"Ja...if there are wild dragons here, perhaps there are creatures of greater sorts," Natalie replied, "i wonder what other creatures there are..."

She heard a rustling in the treetops, most likely the wind, but being on edge plays with the imagination.

"You don't suppose there are gremlins here?!"

"This means that we must not take this lightly." He murmured before looking to the girl and her apparent uneasiness to gremlins.

[Ghost]

"Ja...if there are wild dragons here, perhaps there are creatures of greater sorts," Natalie replied, "i wonder what other creatures there are..."

She heard a rustling in the treetops, most likely the wind, but being on edge plays with the imagination.

"You don't suppose there are gremlins here?!"

Rhia shrugged. "Who knows. But if they have dragons, then gremlins wouldn't really surprise me." She grinned. "This sure is an interesting place."

[GrampaGen]

"This means that we must not take this lightly." He murmured before looking to the girl and her apparent uneasiness to gremlins.

"Dragons eat flesh and bone, but gremlins, they are vicious creatures who exist for a far fouler purpose! Nibbling, scratching chaos! They disassemble and destroy lives! Hedonistic wanton destruction! AHH!"

She whipped around and shot a bolt from her wand into the tree canopy, causing it to explode into blossom. She gazed about wildly between hard, paranoid breaths.


Rhia shrugged. "Who knows. But if they have dragons, then gremlins wouldn't really surprise me." She grinned. "This sure is an interesting place."

Natalie muttered something about infernal denizens and newt eyes, then plopped down on the grow, hat over her eyes.

"Why won't they let us inside," she moaned.

Oh dear... Rhia thought. Apparently, Alexia wasn't the only one with issues.

"Um, hey, Natalie," she said, crouching next to the other girl. "Look, I'm sure the teachers won't let anything bad happen to us. I mean, you saw that Guardian-guy, right? Even if there really are gremlins here, I bet we'll be perfectly safe from them. Besides," she added with a confident smile, "if I ever see a gremlin sneaking around, I promise I'll pummel it for ya! Okay?"

[GrampaGen]

Okay?"

Popping her eyes up from under her hat, Natalie noticed by Rhia's side a sabre.

"Yes...yes, of course! Steel! Steel is the antithesis of such volatile underdaemonkind!"

She stood back up, unfazed by her tirade and refreshed from the reassurance.

"Danke schoen, Frau Rhia! Perhaps it was a premature conclusion...mystic beings I cannot deal with, not without the appropriate magicks. But you!"

She began to strike her wand out in an exuberant pantomime.

"Snikt! Shing! Tattattat! Touche! Oh how does one build such strength?"

[Ghost]

Popping her eyes up from under her hat, Natalie noticed by Rhia's side a sabre.

"Yes...yes, of course! Steel! Steel is the antithesis of such volatile underdaemonkind!"

Well, orikhan in my case, Rhia tought, placing a hand on her sword once again. She sensed it was probably better to keep that to herself at the time, though.

She wasn't sure if orikhan would be an effective ward against creatures Natalie was talking about, though from what her teachers had told her about the metal's strange properties, one could never know.

"Snikt! Shing! Tattattat! Touche! Oh how does one build such strength?"

Rhia laughed. "Training!" she said, flexing a muscle. "Lots of training!"

Rhia laughed. "Training!" she said, flexing a muscle. "Lots of training!"

"Ah! We Zeitgeist Sisters pride ourselves on our spiritual and mental cultivation, but," she explained, squishing some skin near her elbow for effect,"some things are neglected, ja?"

Mother Superior always said that warriors were a brutish class who ought to be shown to use their brains. However it seems cohesion of the body and soul is the key to strengthening the spirit.

"Well, could I trouble you to see what it is you for cultivating such vigor?"

"Well, could I trouble you to see what it is you for cultivating such vigor?"

"Um... I didn't quite get that," Rhia admitted. "Are you asking me why I train martial arts?"

[GrampaGen]

"Um... I didn't quite get that," Rhia admitted. "Are you asking me why I train martial arts?"

"Well, how you got so strong, but I suppose it goes hand in hand."

[GrampaGen]

OC: gotta go, be back tomorrow

[Chou Blaster]

"Well, how you got so strong, but I suppose it goes hand in hand."


:Daichi ove rhear dit and went inot tohught as he rins.:

People, beocme strong. It take shard work and time, but is worth it, and it is a everlastin gprocess. One tha tone just does not stop


;THat was his thoughts on tha tmanner, as he wordnered when th etour will end.:

[Froggy]

Ramus stareda t the guardian. "dude must've been training since he stepped otu of the womb!"

[Ghost]

"Well, how you got so strong, but I suppose it goes hand in hand."

"How I got so..." Rhia mumbled.


FLASH


A balcony in moonlight...

"They say you've skipped training again," he says.

"What's the point?" Rhia asks. "I'm only training because it's tradition. I'm never gonna fight anyone, it's stupid."


FLASH


Fire, and the smell of blood... Hot tears on her cheek. She cradles his broken form among corpses of twisted, ruined metal...

"I don't want you to die!" she yells. "Why did you do that? Why did you have to come and save me!?"

"What's the point..." he whispers "...of all this strenght... if I can't even protect my sister?"

"Brother! BROTHER!"


FLASH


Rhia blinked. She was back in the present again.

She sighed. "I guess I got this strong because... I have something to fight for. A goal greater then myself, that makes me want to push my own limits. That's why I train martial arts."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Then you haven't heard about what happened to him, have you?" Tamiko's sadness came through as she spoke softly.

Jericho's eyebtow rose.

"No, what happened?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

The Guardian, upon seeing the group, walks over to them, each step measured and precise, with no energy wasted in his movements. He spoke with an old, powerful voice with a slight British bur to it.



"Mourn, a shame about the beast, but t'was mad. Naught had we trouble of this kind with Wyrms in over five decades. Especially with the red ones being so few now. I worry that this be a bad omen."


Seeing the students, the Guardian nodded to them.

"The arrivals, aye? I am Mathias, Guardian of Arcadia."

Seeing the students, the Guardian nodded to them.

"The arrivals, aye? I am Mathias, Guardian of Arcadia."

Henry and Sirus both gave brief nods, acknowledging Mathias but remained silent for now.

[Chou Blaster]

" Aye, so when does class actually start?"

:Afte rhe saw the Guardain at work, Daichi wants to well get this done right, he wants to experince and embrace his destiny. He could not wait to get started in all hoensty.:

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Henry and Sirus both gave brief nods, acknowledging Mathias but remained silent for now.

"Hmm, brothers yes? A psychic and a mage. Interesting."

Jericho turned to him.

"The first class and test will commence very soon."

"The arrivals, aye? I am Mathias, Guardian of Arcadia." "that aws amazing! oh.....Ramus Navila sir" Ramus said before bowing

"The arrivals, aye? I am Mathias, Guardian of Arcadia."

"Greetings honorable warrior." Kekowa said as he bowed "I am Kekowa Hasegawa of Tokyo, Japan. Honored to be here, in the presense of greatness."

The class cant start fast enough as far as im concernd

[Kevin M.]

Jericho turned to him.

"The first class and test will commence very soon."


"So these are the students?" a voice called from behind Jericho.

OOC: Hey Cleric, is it okay that my guy pops in for a scene or two?

[Kholdhearted]

"Hmm, brothers yes? A psychic and a mage. Interesting."

"Henry and Sirus Savage. Pleased to meet you." the two said in unison. It was mostly a reflex from years of meeting established british folk rather than an actual connection.

[Chou Blaster]

Jericho turned to him.

"The first class and test will commence very soon."



:Then he simpely grin sthat toothy grin and rises a hand with a thumbs up gesture, hell this was so time consuming his water drenched clothing an ditems have dried out by this point.:

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"So these are the students?" a voice called from behind Jericho.

OOC: Hey Cleric, is it okay that my guy pops in for a scene or two?

Jericho turned and nodded whiel Mathias spoke.

"Ah, Kelly. Indeed, these are the Dragon students."

[Silver Knight]

Jericho turned and nodded while Mathias spoke.

"Ah, Kelly. Indeed, these are the Dragon students."

Kekowa looked behing Mr. Jericho and saw a man. He was quite tall, wearing a black trench coat and what looked to be a American style cowboy hat.

What a strange fellow, is he an instructor?

[Kevin M.]

Jericho turned and nodded whiel Mathias spoke.

"Ah, Kelly. Indeed, these are the Dragon students."


A man wearing fancy clothing with a six foot sword watched as the students came closer to the acadamy.

"A very intresting bunch" he said with a smile. "It seems that this will be an...intresting year to say the least" he smirked as he began to walk back to the acadamy. But before he left, he looked over his shoulder and said.

"I look forward to seeing what all of you can do" he said as he walked off.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho pointed to the downed Dragon.


"What do you make of it, Kelly?

[Kevin M.]

Jericho pointed to the downed Dragon.


"What do you make of it, Kelly?


Kelly stopped in mid stride, looking down at the dragon.

"Strange, they usually don't come around till latter in the year" he observed.

[Froggy]

"would it be out of line to ask who that was sir? Ramus asked of jericho

[Kevin M.]

"would it be out of line to ask who that was sir? Ramus asked of jericho

Kelly looked up from the dead dragon, and right back at Ramus. "Intresting" he wishpered to himself.

[Froggy]

Kelly looked up from the dead dragon, and right back at Ramus. "Intresting" he wishpered to himself.

Ramus wondered what the man meant and lookedat himself. "Shweeeet' He said, before asking "Itneresting?

[Kevin M.]

Ramus wondered what the man meant and lookedat himself. "Shweeeet' He said, before asking "Itneresting?


Kelly turned back to Jericho.

"I will meet you back at the acadamy" he said as he started to walk back.

"You should get the students out of the rain before they catch their death of cold"

OOC: Good night everyone.

[FalconX2000]

While care should be exercised, being straight forward was logically the way to go to befriend a psychic, Xellos decided.

He approached Hunter and introduced himself. Cupping a hand in front of him, he made a slight bow.

"Good evening. I am Xellos Raveneye."

[The Dog]

If one looked toward the wyrm, they could see a creature that looked remarkably like Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece walking toward the body, carrying a bag.

Giving a small nod to Jericho, the creature said "Hello Jericho, I'm just here to get what ingredients I can from the poor creature, if that's alright with you."

[Tami]

Jericho's eyebtow rose.

"No, what happened?"

"He's dead. He died about four months ago. We were attacked, there were too many of them, I tried but...I'm sorry." Tamiko averted her eyes, looking somewhat ashamed, remembering how she wasn't strong enough to save her teacher.

"Indeed. Be careful, though, when you get the dragon fire lung out that it doesn't burn you."

"He's dead. He died about four months ago. We were attacked, there were too many of them, I tried but...I'm sorry." Tamiko averted her eyes, looking somewhat ashamed, remembering how she wasn't strong enough to save her teacher.

Jericho stared, then a dark look crossed his face.

"Damnit. You must tell me, Ms. Kessler, how did he die? This is very important."

[Tami]

"Indeed. Be careful, though, when you get the dragon fire lung out that it doesn't burn you."



Jericho stared, then a dark look crossed his face.

"Damnit. You must tell me, Ms. Kessler, how did he die? This is very important."

Tamiko looked up at him, "We were training, I was working on exercises to control magic, when they seemed to come out of no-where. I don't know who, or what they were, but they were all dressed in black and their faces were covered. They pushed me away from my teacher, and they attacked us. I tried to fight back, but there were at least five of them attacking me and they were very strong. I heard my teacher scream. That's when I managed to break away. I reached his hand and grabbed him, then teleported us both away. But it was too late."

[The Dog]

"Indeed. Be careful, though, when you get the dragon fire lung out that it doesn't burn you."

"I'll remember Jericho. Thank you for the concern." Ansalm said with a small smile and another bow to the man, setting his bag down and opening it to begin his work by placing on a pair of gloves and a doctor's mask.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Tamiko looked up at him, "We were training, I was working on exercises to control magic, when they seemed to come out of no-where. I don't know who, or what they were, but they were all dressed in black and their faces were covered. They pushed me away from my teacher, and they attacked us.

I reached his hand and grabbed him, then teleported us both away. But it was too late."



"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

[Ghost]

Tamiko looked up at him, "We were training, I was working on exercises to control magic, when they seemed to come out of no-where.

Tamiko's story made Rhia feel bad for the girl. She wasn't naive enough to think every story would have a good ending, but she knew very well the feeling of helplessness she must have experienced.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

Settling her bag more comfortably across her shoulders she followed Mourn.

[The Dog]

"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

"Will do Jericho." Ansalm said, looking to Guardian worriedly before getting to work. The large man in glowing armor worried him somewhat, but he had a job to do.


Turning to Ansalm, Selma blinked as she saw the deer, jaw falling slack. She then turned to Jericho as she asked "If I'm not being rude, wh-what is Pro-Professor Ansalm?"

[Miburohunter929]

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

"It's about time. I thought I was going to die without a nap" Dean said as he wearily picked up his bag and followed Jericho.

[Silver Knight]

"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

Kekowa picked up his paultry gym bag. At last we will get insdie the school. Kekowa had a question and thought he should ask.

"Mr. Jericho sir" Kekowa said "Would it be possible after I put my things away to hit the gym? I could use a bag to punch around for a few hours."

[Chou Blaster]

'meh." :Walknig along with his class mates in the rain, though felt dry and warm now, depsite this.:


Man, I cannot wait til this gets started. I mean yes, having the knowledge of how this tihng works is great, and having faith in my fellwos si great. But nothing beats power.. Nothing, it does not matter how much you know, or who you trust. Power is a factor, for without it you can do nothing.

:Then ninthe corner of his eye, a seocnd sphere appears, this one of goldish yellow, wit hthe Earth sign iscribe don.:


Heh, this is too cool, once I am done sculpting them and arranging them. My power will grow!

No no no damnit don't!

Grandpa? How are you in my head?"!

That is not th eponit grass hopper, but you got to be crazy or driven to attemtp two sphere merges at once, you will be in for a world of pain.

if I survive and manage it, so be it. If I am to die, ten I'll die and no more problems on this world.

Fool! You must know there is more to lfie than you, it is the world and all people and thing son it you are to care about. Without that drive you willb be nothing!

Wait, so even if I get the three spehres, there is SOMETHING ELSE I have to do. Damn man I should ahv ebeen broguh tup to antohe rpeople.

Don't be a cry baby. Once you get te three spheres, you got to FIND a reason to use their power, or else it is for naught. So Daichi, is their a reason to be around besides yourself?

I don't have time for this. Good bye, and thanks for nothing! Should have trianed me bette,r maybe I would not be in this hassle!

Why you ungrateful *@*)@*(*@*@()()@@@*(@(@@(!!!!!!!!


:Daichi stops thinking.:

"Much better."

[Ant Crown]

Upon having the introduction of Mattias, Tenma only felt small compared to the FireConvoy that is Matthias.

[Yun Lao]

With all the events unfolding, Levi was surprised to see this moving once more. Taking one last glance at the dragon, he followed Jericho.

[Chou Blaster]

: Daichi noted soemthing in hi shead which he asked Jericho.:

" Umm sir, how many other students ar ein the other dorms, and how were we labeled to go to which house?"

[Ant Crown]

"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

"Hai, Sensei." Tenma nodded and got off the ground.

[Froggy]

"Shweeeet"

[Tami]

Tamiko picked up her bag and followed the other students.

[Ghost]

"I see. The Grandmaster will be informed of this."


With a gesture, he created a ball of glowing light, and then whispered several words into it before sending it into the sky, where is sped off.

"Alright then, Ansalm stay here with the Guardian and finish with the dragon. Students, follow me to the dorm."

"Well, here we go," Rhia said.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho responded.

"There are numerous students in each dorm, as are their teachers for each. Generaklly speaking, 25 in each is the highest, though smaller numbers are sometimes generally present."



They passed the woods and beheld Arcadia.



The building was easily as large as a college was, rising five stories up and at least 300 yards across. It was a lushess white mix of white, brown, and green, shaded nearby with ancient looking trees.


"Welcome to Arcadia, Dragon dorm."

[Silver Knight]

Jericho responded.

"Wow, now this I can consider to be cool."

:A she observed where they wil be lviing at, walknig alnog in the rain. Not gonig to bother to ask where they are going next, as it is pretty obvious at this point.:


:And despite this, he wants to get away as soon as possible to do his own spiritual training routine.:

[Ant Crown]

4 hour sleep here I come! Tenma thought as he wanted meditation lessons.

[GrampaGen]

"Immaculate..."

Natalie looked over in wonder. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, the school and the surrounding area had a presence about it of ancient powers. Certainly she could feel it in the air, as though the campus were raised from the ground by some sort of old forgotten god.

"Ah Wunderbar! The elements are just perfect for channeling!"

[Chrosis]

Peter stood silently towards the back of the group, surveying the campus with a keen eye. He pondered why things seemed to be moving so slowly (Hint), but shrugged it off as nothing.

[Eternal Torment]

Jericho responded.

"Welcome to Arcadia, Dragon dorm."

"This place....it's beautiful."

Alexia had not seen this much life in a place before.

"Man, what I'd give to live in this place..."

"I agree with you on that point, Ike."

[Silver Knight]

Jericho responded.

Very impressive Kekowa thought as he laid eyes on what was to be his new home. He was glad he decided to come. After all he belived he had earned such a place.

[Yun Lao]

Jericho responded.

"Welcome to Arcadia, Dragon dorm."

It certainly seemed impressive, however, appearances could be misleading. Until he saw the inside, Wei Levi held off any comments.

[FalconX2000]

"Um, greetings, I'm Hunter Marcino," the young man shyly said.

He pulled up beside Hunter as they walked towards the dorms. Since psychics could sense thoughts, it was normally refreshingly easy to befriend one simply by being straightforward.

"You carry a dangerous book with you, " Xellos held up a hand to forstall any protests, projecting calm from his mind.

"I am rather concerned that the book is in the possession of someone without magical training, as seems to be the case with you. Perhaps it was part of the reason the book chose you. Is there any reason not to hand it over to the schools' magical authorities?"

[Tami]

Jericho responded.

Following a short distance behind Levi, Tamiko looked up at the structure, eyes wide. Looking around, she wondered what the inside was like, looking forward to seeing her dorm room.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericjo led them toward the school, up to the great doors, and stopped as two women appeared with great speed. One was araven haired bauty, 6 feet tall. The other sported a doctors coat, blond hair, and glasses.


"These are your other teachers, Intructor Bloodmoon and Dr. Ruman."

[Chou Blaster]

:Bows to the ladies, as he keppt qiet. Would rathe rget the show gonig as he was sill wet due to he damn rain.:

Let me guess, they are into the stick guy? Figures.

:As he then walks thorguh the doors, did not want to seem rude, but just hanging around, and blocking ooff the path form tohers, was not a good thing to do.:

[Eternal Torment]

"These are your other teachers, Intructor Bloodmoon and Dr. Ruman."

Alexia was a little scared of them. She shyed away from the teachers as they appeared.

"Ike, these two look formidable. I would not want them to be my enemies."

"Yeah, I guess. Those teachers here are really powerful."

[Yun Lao]

Jericjo led them toward the school, up to the great doors, and stopped as two women appeared with great speed. One was araven haired bauty, 6 feet tall. The other sported a doctors coat, blond hair, and glasses.


"These are your other teachers, Intructor Bloodmoon and Dr. Ruman."

He bowed to them in greetings, curious on just who would be his instructor out of so many of them. Afterall, he could imagine that each student's specialty would call for a certain teacher since it would be pointless to try and train a fighter to fight with his or her mind or weave magic.

[Tami]

Jericjo led them toward the school, up to the great doors, and stopped as two women appeared with great speed. One was araven haired bauty, 6 feet tall. The other sported a doctors coat, blond hair, and glasses.


"These are your other teachers, Intructor Bloodmoon and Dr. Ruman."

Quietly observing them, "I wonder what subject areas they teach?" Tamiko thought to herself.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho snapped hsi fingers and teh rain finally stopped.


He then stepped away from the door and onto a the front yard of the dorm.



"Alright then, here is your first test. You will all attack me in order to knock my hat off. Intructors Bloodmoon and Ruman will eb watching to guage your technique, abilities, and capabilities. That way, we can better understnd hwo to train, teach, and strengthen you for the coming trials. Now, to amke this fairm I shall not use my magic against you."

Wit ha smile, he dropped his staff into a ready position.


"Now then, come at me with everything you have!"

[Silver Knight]

Jericho snapped hsi fingers and teh rain finally stopped.

"I shall strike first!" Kekowa said as he stepped forward. He took of his jacket and flexed.

Kekowa Lunged with all of his speed, Rearing back his fist with all of his might, ready to strike, as he approched Jericho he released it aming for his face...

Kelly watched from a distance, a small slime forming on his thin lips.

"Intresting" he whispered. "I always wanted to see the Iron Cross in action" he said.

[Chou Blaster]

:Daichi heard this challenge and his eyes shifted.:

Tch, antoher growen up showing off. Sure, I bet I stand no chance againist him, but damnit I will try.

:He then proceeds to take off his shoes and his socks as he did not like this, but still he'll do this.:

" Alright you, I'll step up to this.. Guys, I hope you follow suit."

:As he then runs to Jerichos standing position and before he did his attack.:

SNAKE BITE!! :Daichi smashed toes the the soil and did his chi kung fu gripe, disorienting the very footing itself as he then attempts a three jab with uppe rcut combo while the attack knocke dhim unbalanced. Or at the least shifted the weight.:

"Now then, come at me with everything you have!"

A rather interesting challenge, though Wei Levi did not attack right away, instead watching Kekowa charge forward. Any glimpse of Jericho's abilities would help. Placing his monk's spade against the wall, he prepared his body.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"I shall strike first!" Kekowa said as he stepped forward. He took of his jacket and flexed.

"Impressive.", Jericho murmured as he dodged Kekowa's fist, letting it sail past him and into Daichi's attack.

"Well played, attacking from two different angles. Also, impressive attack, Daichi."

[Yun Lao]

"Impressive.", Jericho murmured as he dodged Kekowa's fist, letting it sail past him and into Daichi's attack.

"Well played, attacking from two different angles. Also, impressive attack, Daichi."

"Guess this is my cue." He murmured to himself. As Jericho mused and manipulated Kekowa and Daichi, Levi dashed forward. Upon meeting the instructor, he crouched low, thrusting an open palm strike toward Jericho's mid-section.

[Silver Knight]

"Impressive.", Jericho murmured as he dodged Kekowa's fist, letting it sail past him and into Daichi's attack.

"Well played, attacking from two different angles. Also, impressive attack, Daichi."

Kekowa switched things up and droped low, seeping his feet to try to knock Jericho off balance.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Guess this is my cue." He murmured to himself. As Jericho mused and manipulated Kekowa and Daichi, Levi dashed forward. Upon meeting the instructor, he crouched low, thrusting an open palm strike toward Jericho's mid-section.

Jericho turned, deflected the attack, and then launched his own palm strike, sending Levi back several feet.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Kekowa switched things up and droped low, seeping his feet to try to knock Jericho off balance.

After striking Levi, Jericho once again spun past Kekowa's atatck, leaving Kekowa off balance. Jericho then leg swept him to the ground.


"Good, good."

[Chou Blaster]

After striking Levi, Jericho once again spun past Kekowa's atatck, leaving Kekowa off balance. Jericho then leg swept him to the ground.

:As in tha tmoment Daichi decided on soemthing.:

Damn, I cnanot keep spamming them snake bite,s oh well time for a aerial assualt!"

:Propels his large body forward inot the air, as Daichi attmepted a Muay Tai flying knee for his hat/head as he swept Kekowa down.:

[Eternal Torment]

Jericho snapped hsi fingers and teh rain finally stopped.


He then stepped away from the door and onto a the front yard of the dorm.

Wit ha smile, he dropped his staff into a ready position.


"Now then, come at me with everything you have!"

Alexia was taken aback at Jericho's words.

"Knock off his hat....no, I can't. I shouldn't fight."

"It's our test. We HAVE to go get him."

"A- alright. Let's try our best."

As Levi went for an open palm strike, Alexia attacked Jericho's left side with a sweeping low kick.

[Silver Knight]

After striking Levi, Jericho once again spun past Kekowa's atatck, leaving Kekowa off balance. Jericho then leg swept him to the ground.


"Good, good."

Kekowa did not apprciate his attack turned against him. He slammed his hands to the ground and quickly regained his footing. "I am Kekowa Hasegawa, The Demon King of Tokyo! I have never lost a battle And I dont intend to start now!"

Kekowa Pulled back both fists and again charged, This time rearing back both fists he targeted the gut and head. He launched his attack and then...

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

:As in tha tmoment Daichi decided on soemthing.:

Damn, I cnanot keep spamming them snake bite,s oh well time for a aerial assualt!"

:Propels his large body forward inot the air, as Daichi attmepted a Muay Tai flying knee for his hat/head as he swept Kekowa down.:

Jericho barely ducked down in time to avoid the powerful blow.

Flipping away, he rightedh ismelf and got back into his stance.


"Impressive move."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Kekowa did not apprciate his attack turned against him. He slammed his hands to the ground and quickly regained his footing. "I am Kekowa Hasegawa, The Demon King of Tokyo! I have never lost a battle And I dont intend to start now!"

Kekowa Pulled back both fists and again charged, This time rearing back both fists he targeted the gut and head. He launched his attack and then...

Jericho garbbed both hands and simply picked Kekowa up and threw him towards a tree.


This however, left him open to....


Alexia was taken aback at Jericho's words.

"Knock off his hat....no, I can't. I shouldn't fight."

"It's our test. We HAVE to go get him."

"A- alright. Let's try our best."

As Levi went for an open palm strike, Alexia attacked Jericho's left side with a sweeping low kick.

Jericho couldn't move away and was swept off his feet. However, he managed to get his hand under so he easily righted himself faster then Alexia could see.

"Well played, Alexia."

[Chou Blaster]

Jericho garbbed both hands and simply picked Kekowa up and threw him towards a tree.


This however, left him open to....

"Heh" :Grins to himself.:

Well every attakc I ahve done is a striknig art and it has not worked. Thouh at the least I am making good remarks. TIme for soemthing different.


:As Daichi then attmepts to roll along the ground and spring boards from the ground, in a attmept to grab Jericho's left arm into a elbaorate gripe/submission hold, and aattmept to make him not be so speedy, as to make him open to another attack.:

[Silver Knight]

Jericho garbbed both hands and simply picked Kekowa up and threw him towards a tree.


This however, left him open to....




Jericho couldn't move away and was swept off his feet. However, he managed to get his hand under so he easily righted himself faster then Alexia could see.

"Well played, Alexia."


Kekowa saw the tree, he decided to make the best out of it and tucked his legs in When he came close he let loose and propelled himself with all his might off the tree. The extra boost in speed came at a price, to be aerodynamic he could'nt pull his fist back of kick, instead he aimed towards his lower region hoping he could tackle while he was distracted with Alexia.

[Eternal Torment]

Jericho couldn't move away and was swept off his feet. However, he managed to get his hand under so he easily righted himself faster then Alexia could see.

"Well played, Alexia."

"Ike, any strategies?"

"Not really. His skill is obviously greater than ours. Since he'll counter any careless attacks, we'll just have to fight conservatively and wait for the others to make openings in his defence."

"That will have to be good enough for now."

Alexia took a few steps back to let the other students attack first.

[Yun Lao]

Jericho turned, deflected the attack, and then launched his own palm strike, sending Levi back several feet.

Though Levi only skidded back several feet across the muddy grounds while still standing, he nearly doubled over from the force of it. "I guess he isn't an instructor for nothing..." Dashing forward once more, Levi leapt into the air, twisting his body about before driving his heel downward to Jericho's head.

[The Dog]

Selma watched the test continue and smirked as she saw an opening, thrusting her fist forward, aiming for his hat as she muttered "Hiken!", sending a burst of flame towards the object.

She then charged after her attack, readying a kick to knock the hat from his head should the attack fail to do so.

[Eternal Torment]

When the other three attacked, Alexia leapt forward and delivered a heavy punch to Jericho's chest while keeping her other hand up to guard against other attacks.

[GrampaGen]

Natalie stood there awestruck at the vigor and prowess of her colleagues. The three of them users of Life Energy through techniques to bolster their strength, they were moving at a speed which she couldn't hope to match. And Jericho! There were no wasted movements!

Ah! They are all so agile, it's unbelievable! If the three of them cannot do this task...

She sidestepped a body thrown her way.

"There must be some way we can do this, he has but two arms and legs, ja?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho smiled.


"Excellent, attacking with so many at once."



He moved fluidly, grabbing Daichi as he sprung at him. Having garbbed Diachi in mid spring, he then throws him toward into the oncoming Kekowa, sending them crashing into one another.

Sensing a shift in the currents, Jericho ducked the fire blast from Selma, then redirected her charge into Alexia, who was just going for a hard punch to the chest.


This left him open, however, and he took Levi's blow on his shoudler as he shifted, sending him tumbling forward. In mid tumble, he flips with his hands. He then snaps his staff up and uses it as a poll vault, launching him several dozen feet away from the students.


"We played, but my hat's still here."

[Silver Knight]

Jericho smiled.

"We played, but my hat's still here."

Kekowa boiled over. "Damn it man, if you'd only distracted him for 2 or three more seconds this would have been won!" Yelling at Daichi as he started to get up. No broken bones, no major inhuries, but his shoulder wher he connected with Daichi burned. "Look people we need to work together if we want to win. Daichi, you take the left. Ill take the right. Alexia take his leggs. and you" pointing at the girl that spit fire "Go for the head again. Agreed?"

[Eternal Torment]

Jericho smiled.

Alexia flew back, landing on the ground roughly.

"Oww....that blast hurt."

"No kidding. Alright, time for a new plan. He relies on air recoveries when he's knocked off his feet. Now, he usually does it way too fast for us to use. But, if we can intercept him as he gets hit, then there's a chance that we can knock that hat off."

"We will wait for the opportunity, then."

Alexia flipped up onto her feet, and started to advance towards Jericho. As soon as she heard Kekowa's order, she considered revising their plan, but decided against it.

[GrampaGen]

Jericho smiled.

"Ah! Erstaunlich!"

Jericho's attacks, so fast and in repeated succession, playing the pace of the students seemingly without effort. He moved impeccably, just at the right place at just the right time. Even the larger students Daichi and Kekowa were felled, controlled intuitively.

Control? Intuition?

Something began to come together in Natalie's mind, but unfortunately she would have to get into swatting distance to try it out. With complete abandon she ran into the fray, stopping about three meters within Jericho, and cast her alchemy spell on the floor where he stood.

"Zerstauber!"

[Yun Lao]

Jericho smiled.

"I shall enjoy learning from you, Jericho-sifu...but allow me to hsow what I have learned from my experiences..." He said as he took his glasses off. Looking back upon Jericho, it was decided. His right arm stiffened, muscles tensing, and though obscured by his sleeve, the muscles and veins were pressing up against his skin.

Charging once more toward Jericho, Levi drew back both hands; sparks of electrical energy dancing off his body. Thrusting his left hand --fingers extended, making it resemble a knife-- he sought to remove the instructor's hat. However, it would prove to be a feint as he thrusted his right arm forward. It was another open handed palm strike, though this time it was toward Jericho's face and hat, and more importantly, it was the palm that had been collecting ki.

Though the small orb gathered in the center was black, once the thrust was completed, it erupted to a large neon green stream. The recoil forced Levi back a few inches, but he was more focused on how much it had affected the instructor.

[Corey Dreher]

"Now then, come at me with everything you have!"

OT: This post is a byproduct of Chou and I's thoughts.

IC: Ramon had a toothy grin. Finally, something to focus on. Ramon waiting a bit to see how he handled the first batch of people to come up. And just as he thought, they were knocked back without hesitation. But watching Jericho more and more, Ramon’s toothy grin widened as his mind burst open with thoughts. He runs over to Dai and whispers into his ear, and they both nodded in agreement, with nice grins to match.

Ramon moved behind Dai, so he had time to concentrate and a shield. Ramon began his spell.

“Nutus…….”

Ramon’s body started to shiver as he felt the power surge through him. He kept on with his chant.

“Ingravesco…….” Ramon’s clothes quickly turned into ragged pieces of it’s former self, and all of Ramon’s face started to shake.


“Impetus……..” Ramon was taking a huge risk. This is the first time he actually tried it to this affect, and sadly enough, he was wondering if he would live to see it’s affects. As the last ‘s’ left from his mouth, the air around him started to thicken as a huge blanket of magic could be felt. Before the magic blanket could work, Ramon uttered the words “INVERSE!”

The spell was in affect as everyone started to levitate off of the ground. While Ramon stood sorta grounded, the others quickly rose’d into the air, shaking rapidly. The strength this spell was taking was taxing on Ramon. Quickly, with all of his strength, he dropped the spell quickly, while muttering another spells quickly enough for Ramon to send Dai propelling very fast with his snake bite at full force towards Jericho…

Going for sheer skill and numbers was exactly what Jericho wanted. He was prepared to deal with lots of attacks. If he thought he could actually beat a teacher of this school in combat, he wouldn't be here. No, the trick was to think outside the box...

Having calculated Jericho's descent from the pole vault, Xellos, having remained quiet till now, had maneuvered himself to stay behind Jericho, icing the landing spot with his frost master technique. Jericho might not notice it immediately, but attempting to twist out of the way would result in quite a slip.

He extended his staff, fishing Jericho's hat from his head while he faced the others.

Kekowa's plan went unheard as the other students decided to go their own way. He was about to charge hurt shoulder in all when he noticed Xellos try to fish Jericho's hat offEither Jericho will smash him for being so close or Xellos will pull it off and Ill save myself from further injury. Though that is a pretty f-ed up way to win

[The Dog]

As Jericho flew through the air, Selma noticed Xellos and smirked to herself as she realized what he was planning. Deciding to help him, she thrust her fist toward Jericho with another "Hiken" mutter, determined to keep the instructor busy.

[Ant Crown]

Sorry Sensei. Tenma thought as he took off his back pack and took out his boken, charging it up that he soon side stepped behind some students.

He awaited his chance to hit.

[Eternal Torment]

Alexia stopped for a second as she realized the others were using their special techniques.

"This is getting very troublesome."

"Those crazy kids, shooting off those attacks without care!"

"Let us see the result. If he can reflect those energies, then we'll have to change up our plans."

[Silver Knight]

Oh well Buddha hates a coward Kekowa thought as he saw the other students charge. Kekowa switched to his Kickboxing style and raced for Jericho. He launched himself over Daichi who was getting in Jeicho's face, And Spun his heal for a 360 degree spin kick. Hopefully the air attack aould catch him off guard.

Peter Schmidt stood towards the background, swinging his guitar around behind him and drawing his sword in a single motion.

He waited until all the other students began their own attacks, circling behind the commotion. If he was lucky, he wouldn't be noticed. If he wasn't lucky, then one of the students would accidentally hit him.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho descended from the poll-vault, only to be met with an alchemy spell, from Natalie, hitting Xello's ice spell right under him, disrupting both and canceling each other out. This however, went unoticed as Xellos attempted to sneak the hat off, only for Jericho to be caught off guard by Levi's attack, sending him flying backward (this caused Xellos to just miss getting the hat for real). After righting hismelf, he suddenly floats up via Ramon's spell, only to see a flying Daichi coming at him, along with Kekowa coming up aswell and Selma's fireball.


With a small smile, Jericho whispered two words.

"Shadow Self"


Jericho disappears and his shadow takes his place, the studenst none the wiser. After getting crushed by Diachi and Kekowa's attack, the shadow flies back to Jericho, who stands clapping at the students under the shade of a nearby tree.


His staff was gone, he having discarded it. His hat was also gone


"Well, well. Most impressive, all of you. Especially the sneak attack, Xellos. If Levi hadn't hit me, you would of had my hat. Diach, Ramon, impressive usuage of the gravity spell. I even had t use magic to escape what woudl have been a nasty beat down, I think. All of you, congratulations. I believe you win this round."


Wit hthat, Jericho poinst to his hat, which rests as Natalie's feet where it has fallen from his head when he replaced hismelf with his shadow.



"However, I believe it's time you see what someone else can do. Lucia?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Alexia saw Peter. She didn't react, but took a few steps back before looking at the disaster that was about to happen. She didn't want to be there when so many attacks collided.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Note, Corey/Chou, excellent move with the gravity spell. Obviously, had Jericho used his magic, he could have countered it, but you took advantage of that fact that he said he wouldn't use it.



Nicely, nicely done. :)

Alexia was surprised at the outcome. "They....did it."

"Ike, I'm starting to think that we should be more bold in our attacks."

"Bloodmoon has taken to the field. She's probably going to have a different style than Jericho, so we better hang back for a second before we start fighting."

[Silver Knight]

Kekowa had just felt a sigh of relif when Jericho reveled the test was not over. Kekowa sighed and wondered what he still had.

Notheless Kekowa charged. Pulling back hios fist again he launched himself with all his strength and speed and targeted the instructor's stomach, hoping for the best...

[The Dog]

"However, I believe it's time you see what someone else can do. Lucia?"

Intructor Bloodmoon takes the field while Jericho steps off.

Bloodmoon raised her hand and instantly, Kekowa stopped in mid charge. She then waved her hand, which caused Kekowa to go flying toward a rather large tree.

[Yun Lao]

Glancing to Xellos, he did his best to smile apologically, "Forgive me for ruining your chances to remove his hat." His left hand took hold of his right wrist, stilling it through its shaking; wisps of smoke still flowing from his palm. Looking to Intructor Bloodmoon, he took in a breath, finally regaining feeling in his right hand.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"So... Is their some kind of special task we have to perform to "win" this time, or do we simply fight you until you're satisfied?" Selma asked, not prepared to attack just yet.

Having just sent Kekowa flying, Bloodmoon turned and smiled a cold smile.


"Yes, you must try to get my necklace from me."

Wit hthat, Jericho poinst to his hat, which rests as Natalie's feet where it has fallen from his head when he replaced hismelf with his shadow.




If the united efforts of the martial arts students had astounded her before, the sudden collision and deft maneuvers by Jericho left her jaw-dropped and stupefied.

I could barely sense he was a magical body at all!

Shakily, she picked up the hat, and handed it back to Jericho - the real Jericho - with a sheepish grin.

"Danke Schone, Herr Mourn..."


"However, I believe it's time you see what someone else can do. Lucia?"

Intructor Bloodmoon takes the field while Jericho steps off.


"I shall now be your opponent."


And as soon as the hat left her hand, Natalie stood prone, and stepped back. Wheras Jericho was sporting and somewhat playful, she could not but feel extemely intimidated by the next instructor.

"With Herr Mourn I was looking for an emotional intent that signalled his movements", She thought to herself, "But Frau Bloodmoon, she has a massive astral prescence!"

[Silver Knight]

Bloodmoon raised her hand and instantly, Kekowa stopped in mid charge. She then waved her hand, which caused Kekowa to go flying toward a rather large tree.

Kekowa flew akward, he managed to catch the tree with his good arm and spin around. Righting himself he started to analize the situation. Clearly a physic I cant just blindly charge like I did with Jericho. I will have to wait untill she's distracted then make my move. Not very fair, but then again neither is Telekinises

[Eternal Torment]

Bloodmoon raised her hand and instantly, Kekowa stopped in mid charge. She then waved her hand, which caused Kekowa to go flying toward a rather large tree.

Alexia facepalmed.

"Psychic."

"Lexie, we're boned."

"We can't counter telepathy, although I don't think that Miss Bloodmoon needs to use it."

"Let's hope she doesn't. I don't want her looking at us funny."

Kelly watched Tomiko as she stayed in the background.


"What's wrong lass, fraid you mite hurt some one?"

[Eternal Torment]

Having just sent Kekowa flying, Bloodmoon turned and smiled a cold smile.


"Yes, you must try to get my necklace from me."

"She's serious, ain't she?"

"A necklace is much harder to retrieve than a hat, but there is a chance that fighting hard enough might convince her to leave."

"Yeah? Then we'll have to take the blonde on. All of us are already beat up from Jericho, and we'll be even more tired if we fight Bloodmoon."

"Good point. However, it might not be the case this time."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Jericho adjusted his hat and thanked Natalie for giving it back to him.


"Just to note, Intructor Bloodmoon will not be using telepathy here."

[GrampaGen]

While the other students fought, Tamiko could only watch, hesitant to join in on the fight.

On the cautionary side, Natalie moved among the people in the crowd, trying to find someone with whom she could coordinate with, being greatly overwhelmed by Instructor Bloodmoon's gaze alone, and her expelling of Kekowa only added to the paranoia.

"The only way to counter the mind is with the spirit..." she mused, running old doctrines from Mother Superior through her brain, "Life energy...astral prescence...where...?"

She walked about the crowd, ending up sitting on the fringe next to a silverhaired girl about her age with a downcast expression.

"This is but overwhelming, ja?" She said to her, hoping to break the ice if nothing else.

Kelly watched Tomiko as she stayed in the background.


"What's wrong lass, fraid you mite hurt some one?"

"I can't, I'm not very good at fighting." Tamiko's nerviousness was evident in her voice.

[Eternal Torment]

Jericho adjusted his hat and thanked Natalie for giving it back to him.


"Just to note, Intructor Bloodmoon will not be using telepathy here."

"Well, that's great news. Hey, Lexie. Let's be reckless for once."

"Ike, are you serious?"

"Yeah! Let's charge straight ahead at Bloodmoon. We've got nothing to lose."

"I think you might have cracked under the pressure. You need to rest your mind."

[Chrosis]

Having just sent Kekowa flying, Bloodmoon turned and smiled a cold smile.


"Yes, you must try to get my necklace from me."

Activating his gravity shell, which remained unseen to the naked eye, Peter slowly made his way to the center of the group, so Bloodmoon would be unprepared for his attack. His right fist clenched around his sword as he attacked.

"Crush."

[Guy1]

Jericho adjusted his hat and thanked Natalie for giving it back to him.


"Just to note, Intructor Bloodmoon will not be using telepathy here."

(Alright then, let's see....full frontal, it's the last Bloodmoon would expect..) Whinsky thought to her self and charged forward.

[Chou Blaster]

(Last pso tof the ngiht.)

: Daichi hadgot himself back up and able to stand up, breathing as he sa w her launch the other guy away.:


Good Lord, ho w am I suppsoed to beat THAT!?

Daichi you fol, it matter snot what the enemy has, but you have, do you want it!?


Yes, yes I do! *Cue Inspring music as Daichi jsut starts running towards Blodo Moon, akin to a human shield.:

" Hey yo, you cold fish, I am gonig to take you on!" :Did that insutl to distract her form the others a she uses himself as a meat shield.:

[Corey Dreher]

"I shall now be your opponent."

Ramon smiled weakly as Jericho congratulated everyone on their successful attempt (and win) on getting his hat. But, with the new appearance of this women who is a TK brawler apparently, he stood wearily, trying to exploit something. The women as of now seemed to go long and strong, so Ramon threw all preemptive strikes out of his mind. He murmured a spell that caused his hands to glow black with darkness. He was feeling very weak after the strong display of magic, but Ramon shook it off, as he said to himself “I can sleep when I’m dead.”

Gathering his strength, Ramon got into his Capioera stance and started to spin around, gathering speed. Hitting the fastest speed he could possibly manage, Ramon launched himself into a barrage of Capioera moves, tinted with darkness.


OT: And with that, I'm am off to sleep, adios. Also, can someone mod my character for me (if there is a need for him, atleast)?. Thanks in advance.

[Yun Lao]

Having just sent Kekowa flying, Bloodmoon turned and smiled a cold smile.


"Yes, you must try to get my necklace from me."

Guess like it'll be a while before I can unleash my attack again...oh well With that he ran forward. Thrusting an arm forward, it seems he was making a straight forward snatch at Bloodmoon's necklace. Another feint it would prove to be as that arm was brought down quickly to serve as momentum, launching the former monk into a flip over her. It was only when in mid-air, behind her, did he truly try, instead reaching forward toward the clasps of the necklace, no doubt seeking to undo them. Afterall, it would be rude to rip it off her neck.

[Silver Knight]

Jericho adjusted his hat and thanked Natalie for giving it back to him.


"Just to note, Intructor Bloodmoon will not be using telepathy here."

"I dont care about that?" Kekowa screamed at master Jericho "Telekinises is a litle much dont you think for fighters?"

As soon as he said it, Kekowa regreted it. But he did not have the heart to take it back.

[kain5252]

Justin rushed forward and went for a flying kick for Bloodmoons face.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Activating his gravity shell, which remained unseen to the naked eye, Peter slowly made his way to the center of the group, so Bloodmoon would be unprepared for his attack. His right fist clenched around his sword as he attacked.

"Crush."



Bloodmoon stumbled slightly at the attack, but she then snapped her fingers and sent a wave of psychic energy out, slapping Peter backward and sending the charging Whinsky back as well.

[FalconX2000]

Jericho adjusted his hat and thanked Natalie for giving it back to him.


"Just to note, Intructor Bloodmoon will not be using telepathy here."

No telepathy? Interesting...

Xellos stepped up to Jericho. He spoke softly.

"Mr Mourn? May I borrow your hat for a moment? I promise I won't damage it."

[Eternal Torment]

"From the side, then. Here we go!"

Alexia went over to Bloodmoon's left side, and used her special technique.

"Sorrow Drive. My pain will consume your soul."

Her hand crackled with black energy, charging up for a moment before firing a dark beam at the instructor.

[Guy1]

Bloodmoon stumbled slightly at the attack, but she then snapped her fingers and sent a wave of psychic energy out, slapping Peter backward and sending the charging Whinsky back as well.

Whinsky gritted her teeth as she hit the ground. She rolled back and jumped back up. She then charged forward again. This time going into a cartwheel to the side, going away before running in a U-Turn toward Bloodmoon.

[Chrosis]

Bloodmoon stumbled slightly at the attack, but she then snapped her fingers and sent a wave of psychic energy out, slapping Peter backward and sending the charging Whinsky back as well.

OOC: A Van-busting attack that drives her into a crater in the ground only makes her stumble?! Holy mother of God, we're screwed. :eek:

I at least expected to knock her down. :eek:

And yes, I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm tired and grumpy. ;)

[Froggy]

Bloodmoon stumbled slightly at the attack, but she then snapped her fingers and sent a wave of psychic energy out, slapping Peter backward and sending the charging Whinsky back as well.
Ramus, asleep at the first fight, woke up as he heard whinsky fly back past him. "Woah, we're fighting now!? he asked as he charged at Blood moon, throwing off his jacket with his fist cocked back, he then tried the "100 FIST SHOT!" and shotued, throwing hundreds of incredibly fast and strong punches

[Kevin M.]

"I can't, I'm not very good at fighting." Tamiko's nerviousness was evident in her voice.

"You will never know unless you try" he said in a cold voice. "Besides, would you act this way if your life was on the line?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Justin rushed forward and went for a flying kick for Bloodmoons face.

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.


This allowed Ramon to close the distance and start hand to hand with Bloodmoon, actually holding his own for a minute. She quickly, however, overcame him and sent him flying away.


This did allow justin to connect with his kick, which stumbled her, only to have him then TK'ed into the sneak attacking Levi, sending them both flyng.


Bloodmoon spat out a glob of blood.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

However, she then turned and got a full force Sorrow Drive.


The attack stumbled her, allowing Whinsky to hit her from behind, sending her stumbling to the side. This allowed Ramus to begin barraging her, keeping her attention, if even only for a few seconds as she reoriented herself.

[The Dog]

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.

This allowed Ramon to close the distance and start hand to hand with Bloodmoon, actually holding his own for a minute. She quickly, however, overcame him and sent him flying away.

Bloodmoon spat out a glob of blood.

Seeing her spit out the glob of blood, Selma's eyes widened slightly in concern before she charged the woman, grabbing for the necklace to end this exam.

[kain5252]

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.

Justin rolled with it and then jumped to his feet. Ignoring the pain for now and charging Bloodmoon. Throwing a punch at her.

[Tami]

"You will never know unless you try" he said in a cold voice. "Besides, would you act this way if your life was on the line?"

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.

Bloodmoon spat out a glob of blood.

Seeing this, "But, she's already injured. The others don't need me, I'd just get in their way." Tamiko sighed.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: A Van-busting attack that drives her into a crater in the ground only makes her stumble?! Holy mother of God, we're screwed. :eek:

I at least expected to knock her down. :eek:

And yes, I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm tired and grumpy. ;)



OT: She used her TK to null most of it. If it had hit her full on, she'd of felt it, trust me.:)

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

No telepathy? Interesting...

Xellos stepped up to Jericho. He spoke softly.

"Mr Mourn? May I borrow your hat for a moment? I promise I won't damage it."

With a raised eyebrow, Jericho handed his hat to Xellos.

[Yun Lao]

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.

Bloodmoon spat out a glob of blood.

His eyes widened some as Justin collided into him. Levi quickly positioned himself so that he took the most impact of the two.

[kain5252]

Seeing this, "But, she's already injured. The others don't need me, I'd just get in their way." Tamiko sighed.

Justin looked at Tamiko. "So your not even going to bother to try? I thought you were trained to fight? Your just letting everything you learned go to waist if you dont even try to use it!" he yelled. Then relized he may have been a bit cold.

[Guy1]

However, she then turned and got a full force Sorrow Drive.


The attack stumbled her, allowing Whinsky to hit her from behind, sending her stumbling to the side. This allowed Ramus to begin barraging her, keeping her attention, if even only for a few seconds as she reoriented herself.

(Now's my chance!) Whinsky thought to herself and jumped onto Bloodmoon's back, grabbing for the necklace as she did.

[Silver Knight]

Bloodmoon stumbled slightly at the attack, but she then snapped her fingers and sent a wave of psychic energy out, slapping Peter backward and sending the charging Whinsky back as well.

Kekowa decided to actually join the fight. He hesitated at first because He didnt want to fight a battle with a TK expert knowing he could lose. Oh well

Kekowa snunk as close as he could behind bloodmoon and then lunged when he was right next to her. He threw both arms around her to try to get ahold of her.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Bloodmoon finally blew Ramus, Justin, and Whinsky away with her TK.


Growling slightly, she then began shaking teh ground as rocks around her began to levitate.

Kekowa snunk as close as he could behind bloodmoon and then lunged when he was right next to her. He threw both arms around her to try to get ahold of her.

Using a rock, she smashed Kekowa with one as he sneak attacked her.

[Guy1]

Bloodmoon finally blew Ramus, Justin, and Whinsky away with her TK.


Growling slightly, she then began shaking teh ground as rocks around her began to levitate.

Whinsky hit the ground hard this time and skidded back before coming to a stop. Picking herself up, she saw the rocks coming up. "Awww sh-t.."

[Silver Knight]

Bloodmoon finally blew Ramus, Justin, and Whinsky away with her TK.


Growling slightly, she then began shaking teh ground as rocks around her began to levitate.

Kekowa took a defensive position. He could smash the rocks but it would be easier to dodge.

[Yun Lao]

Rising, he wiped off some of the mud that caked the frontal flap of his cheongsam. Glancing over, he noticed his monk's spade and the gears began to turn. Grabbing the weapon, he took the traveler's bag off before he back to whirl the weapon about his body. Building the right momentum, he released the weapon, sending it spinning toward Instructor Bloodmoon like an oversized shuriken.

[The Dog]

Reaching the woman with her charge, Selma, attempted to grab the necklace while trying to remain standing on the shaking ground.

[Chrosis]

Her hand snapped up, grabbed his foot, spun him around, and then threw him toward the charging Daichi.


This allowed Ramon to close the distance and start hand to hand with Bloodmoon, actually holding his own for a minute. She quickly, however, overcame him and sent him flying away.


This did allow justin to connect with his kick, which stumbled her, only to have him then TK'ed into the sneak attacking Levi, sending them both flyng.


Bloodmoon spat out a glob of blood.

Peter set his guitar and umbrella down, not wanting to damage either of them. He readjusted his glasses and set his eyes back on Bloodmoon. His Gravity Shell had done little to absorb the last attack, but he kept it active, just in case he ended up engaging her in hand to hand combat.

He turned towards her and put more energy into his attack, intending to drive her straight into the ground.

[kain5252]

Bloodmoon finally blew Ramus, Justin, and Whinsky away with her TK.


Growling slightly, she then began shaking teh ground as rocks around her began to levitate.

Justin hit the ground, then sat up and held his shoulder. Blooding began to run down his forehead. But getting back. Justin sprinted again, only in a slight stumbling manner, and tryed to make and grab for Bloodmoon's legs and pull her back down.

[Vakanai]

He pulled up beside Hunter as they walked towards the dorms. Since psychics could sense thoughts, it was normally refreshingly easy to befriend one simply by being straightforward.

"You carry a dangerous book with you, " Xellos held up a hand to forstall any protests, projecting calm from his mind.

"I am rather concerned that the book is in the possession of someone without magical training, as seems to be the case with you. Perhaps it was part of the reason the book chose you. Is there any reason not to hand it over to the schools' magical authorities?"

"Reason? No I suppose not...but then agian, I'd still rather not," Hunter said sheepishly but a little firmly.

[GrampaGen]

Not going anywhere in her attempt to recruit an ally possibly telepathic in nature, Natalie stood up and watched a variety of things falter in the prescence of an invisible telekinetic shield. It amazed her the sheer level of power these instructors operated on.

She sent several sprawling with a gesture, and even the boy with the guitar, using a higher level magic than what she knew of, was deflected off.

Then taking note of the empathic energies that happened during each skirmish, she noticed one thing, that Instructor Bloodmoon was watching...and waiting.

Seeing no choice but to engage, Natalie called up the strength of an invisible friend to attempt a countermeasure.

"Der wille auf Zeit! Astral Avatar!"

Summoning her astral body around her lithe frame, she strode forth quietly into the maelstrom of students, waiting to make her move.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Bloodmoon grabbed the spinning Monk's spade with her TK, then sent it flying toward the chaging Selma.

[Guy1]

Justin hit the ground, then sat up and held his shoulder. Blooding began to run down his forehead. But getting back. Justin sprinted again and tryed to make and grab for Bloodmoon's legs and pull her back down.

Seeing him, Whinsky picked herself and ran forward as well, getting ready to help. A plan was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to do it.

[The Dog]

Bloodmoon grabbed the spinning Monk's spade with her TK, then sent it flying toward the chaging Selma.

Ducking under it, Selma rolled forward and thrust her feet toward Bloodmoon's stomach.

[Kevin M.]

Seeing this, "But, she's already injured. The others don't need me, I'd just get in their way." Tamiko sighed.

"What if I told you if did not get into the fight.....you would have to face me" he said in a dead serious tone.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Justin was halted by a flying rock, as was Whinsky, but they caused enough of a diversion for Peter's Gravity spell to hit, causing Bloodmoon to got her her hands and knees, a crater forming around her. Her TK began snapping at the spell, pushing it off slowly but surely.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Ducking under it, Selma rolled forward and thrust her feet toward Bloodmoon's stomach.

Selms is pushed back, just like Justin and Whinsky, though she managed to get within 10 feet before getting pushed back.

[Yun Lao]

Bloodmoon grabbed the spinning Monk's spade with her TK, then sent it flying toward the chaging Selma.

Though he was surprised to see her throw the weapon at someone else, it still worked. Dashing forward, he leaped forward, using the flying monk's spade like a spring board while knocking it to the ground after it had pass Selma. Reaching Bloodmoon, he sent a kick toward the back of the instructor's head while he reached out for the necklace.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Dashing forward, he leaped forward, using the flying monk's spade like a spring board while knocking it to the ground after it had pass Selma. Reaching Bloodmoon, he sent a kick toward the back of the instructor's head while he reached out for the necklace.

Still pushing at Peter's spell, she barely amanged to snag Levi's kick within inches of her head. She then TK'ed him toward Selma.

[GrampaGen]

Justin was halted by a flying rock, as was Whinsky, but they caused enough of a diversion for Peter's Gravity spell to hit, causing Bloodmoon to got her her hands and knees, a carter forming around her. Her TK began snapping at the spell, pushing it off slowly but surely.

NOW!

Jumping up behind Bloodmoon as she was distracted, she thrust the hands of the Astral Avatar over the instructor's neck. Natalie reached for the necklace with these invisible hands, sweating profusely and reddening with concentration.

It jittered slightly.

[Guy1]

Justin was halted by a flying rock, as was Whinsky, but they caused enough of a diversion for Peter's Gravity spell to hit, causing Bloodmoon to got her her hands and knees, a carter forming around her. Her TK began snapping at the spell, pushing it off slowly but surely.

Whinsky felt the wind be knocked out of her. But she would not be stopped. She tossed the rock away and ran at full speed at Bloodmoon and raised her fist. Upon reaching her, Whinsky let loose with everything she had. She was running out of steam now and she knew it. But she wanted to at least make an impression. She layed on her attacks, combo after combo crashing into Bloodmoon.

[kain5252]

Still pushing at Peter's spell, she barely amanged to snag Levi's kick within inches of her head. She then TK'ed him toward Selma.

Justin took this opportunity to continue to charge at Bloodmoon. Diverting her attention to more then one in hopes of causing strain on her.

[Silver Knight]

Justin was halted by a flying rock, as was Whinsky, but they caused enough of a diversion for Peter's Gravity spell to hit, causing Bloodmoon to got her her hands and knees, a crater forming around her. Her TK began snapping at the spell, pushing it off slowly but surely.

Perfect my chance to strike!

Kekowa rushed in from her side. To distracted by peters gravity spell to TK him away Kekowa pulled up his foot and prepared to crack her in the side of the face.

[Yun Lao]

Still pushing at Peter's spell, she barely amanged to snag Levi's kick within inches of her head. She then TK'ed him toward Selma.

Twisting his body as he was flung, he managed to avoid hitting Selma, though his impact on the ground was less than he hoped as he skipped a few yards before skidding to a halt.

[FalconX2000]

Glancing to Xellos, he did his best to smile apologically, "Forgive me for ruining your chances to remove his hat." His left hand took hold of his right wrist, stilling it through its shaking; wisps of smoke still flowing from his palm. Looking to Intructor Bloodmoon, he took in a breath, finally regaining feeling in his right hand.

Xellos sighed, then smiled, "its alright, there is no stake in this fight, except impressing the instructors. I believe the true objective was accomplished."

With a raised eyebrow, Jericho handed his hat to Xellos.

"Thank you sir. Now please trust me."

Xellos turned to Bloodmoon, conjuring a small flame in his hand and holding it near to the hat.

He bellowed,

"Drop the necklace, Miss Bloodmoon, or Mr Mourns' hat gets it!"

The name of her friend ought to get her attention, and the ridiculous threat ought to mentally stun her for a few seconds. From what he had seen, at least some of his fellow students would be sharp enough to take advantage.

There was no way he'd actually harm the hat, but she didn't know that...

[Tami]

Justin hit the ground, then sat up and held his shoulder. Blooding began to run down his forehead. But getting back. Justin sprinted again, only in a slight stumbling manner, and tryed to make and grab for Bloodmoon's legs and pull her back down.

Bloodmoon grabbed the spinning Monk's spade with her TK, then sent it flying toward the chaging Selma.

"Justine!" Tamiko exclaimed, seeing her new friend injured. Gritting her teeth a little, she took a deep breath, then raised up her hand and focused her powers. A spear formed in it, a psychic construct her teacher taught her to create. Taking a step forward, she then ran at Bloodmoon, raising it to strike her down.

[The Dog]

Selms is pushed back, just like Justin and Whinsky, though she managed to get within 10 feet before getting pushed back.

Using the push back, she managed to roll back onto her feet. Standing, she looked around and smirked, beginning to pick up rocks from the ground. After gathering a few, she began throwing them like baseballs at Bloodmoon.

[Kevin M.]

Kelly smiled as Tamiko charged into battle with her newly created spear.

"Hey Jericho" Kelly called out. "You mind if I cut in....I need some practice" he said with a small smile.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

With a scream, Bloodmoon breaks the gravity spell, sending Peter flying back. This allows Justine, Whinsky, and Kekowa to close in and get her attention, which allowed Selma's fireballs to hit Bloodmoon, blowing her back. Grolwing, she TK's the three toward Selma, only to turn at Xello's call, a look of confusion/bewildermnet on her face.


This allows Natalie to snag her and begins prying the necklace off. Grappling with her, Lucia never sees Tamiko's pyschic spear heading her way until it clips her neck, taking the necklace off with a clean cut.


Bloodmoon stops the fight suddenly.


"Well done. You have bested me."

[Yun Lao]

Rising with a grimace, Levi knew that he would need a shower after this all. He doubted his Sì Xiàng: Xuánwu Palm would do little against getting to her and even more for getting the necklace; it was much like using a shotgun for something that required a scalpel. He would just have to distract the instructor and hoped someone else could get it. Charging forward yet again, he made a jab at Bloodmoon --his striking hand extending the middle and index digit-- while the left followed quickly with a punch aimmed at her mid-section.

However, he stopped before even reaching her, as the trial was over.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Kelly smiled as Tamiko charged into battle with her newly created spear.

"Hey Jericho" Kelly called out. "You mind if I cut in....I need some practice" he said with a small smile.

"Well, Chopper gets them now once Sofia heals them up. After him, however, go ahead. The more the merrier."

[Guy1]

With a scream, Bloodmoon breaks the gravity spell, sending Peter flying back. This allows Justine, Whinsky, and Kekowa to close in and get her attention, which allowed Selma's fireballs to hit Bloodmoon, blowing her back.

"Well done. You have bested me."

Whinsky took several deep breaths in and out. "Nev..never knew..fighting a...psychic..would..hurt..this much." She said in between breaths.

Justin caught his breath and then gave Tamiko a thumbs up and smiled. "Way to go Tamiko!' he said then went to one to rest. "I'd hug you but Im little tired and sore".

[Kevin M.]

"Well, Chopper gets them now once Sofia heals them up. After him, however, go ahead. The more the merrier."

"Very well" he said. "Very well"

[Silver Knight]

"Well, Chopper gets them now once Sofia heals them up. After him, however, go ahead. The more the merrier."

Chopper? Kekowa thought with a grimace. That does not sound encouraging However he was grateful that he had helped win.

[The Dog]

Whinsky took several deep breaths in and out. "Nev..never knew..fighting a...psychic..would..hurt..this much." She said in between breaths.

"Ne-never doubt th-the power o-of a psy-psychic... Espe-especially a po-powerful one." Selma said, falling to her knees, bracing her hands on her thighs, looking to Whinsky with a slight smile.

[Froggy]

However, she then turned and got a full force Sorrow Drive.


The attack stumbled her, allowing Whinsky to hit her from behind, sending her stumbling to the side. This allowed Ramus to begin barraging her, keeping her attention, if even only for a few seconds as she reoriented herself.

Ramus, after she was downed, wondered. "Wow.the teachers here are strong..hope I can attain that level of power"

[Yun Lao]

Kicking up his monk's spade, he caught it before once more holding it behind his back. Looking to Tamiko, he nodded. "Very well done, my friend."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Ne-never doubt th-the power o-of a psy-psychic... Espe-especially a po-powerful one." Selma said, falling to her knees, bracing her hands on her thighs, looking curiously to Jericho.

"Wh-who is Ch-Chopper?" she asked Jericho, looking curiously toward him.

Jericho smiled.

"You already met him a bit ago. He should be finishng up with the dragon right about now. He'll be your next opponent"

[Chrosis]

Peter stood up and dusted himself off. He collected his belongings while sheathing his sword and hoisting his guitar over his shoulder.

Of all those who had participated, he appeared to be the least injured, though that was most likely a product of his freakish durability.

[GrampaGen]

With a scream, Bloodmoon breaks the gravity spell, sending Peter flying back. This allows Justine, Whinsky, and Kekowa to close in and get her attention, which allowed Selma's fireballs to hit Bloodmoon, blowing her back. Grolwing, she TK's the three toward Selma, only to turn at Xello's call, a look of confusion/bewildermnet on her face.

Bloodmoon stops the fight suddenly.


"Well done. You have bested me."

With an great sigh, Natalie collapsed to the floor. Strain on the Astral Avatar, though it could shatter boulders, took a toll on her physical frame. Catching her breath, she uncharacteristically cracked her knuckles to diffuse the strain. Looking over, she saw the silver-haired girl, who now wore an expression of bloodlust, in the midst of the other students.

Aha, so my intuition was correct, she is a psychic! Wunderbar!

She stood up and walked back over to the student body, pleased at the communal efforts and impromptu teamwork.

[Tami]

With a scream, Bloodmoon breaks the gravity spell, sending Peter flying back. This allows Justine, Whinsky, and Kekowa to close in and get her attention, which allowed Selma's fireballs to hit Bloodmoon, blowing her back.

Bloodmoon stops the fight suddenly.


"Well done. You have bested me."

A hint of bloodlust flashed in her eyes as she held the spear in her hand. Staring at Bloodmoon, Tamiko could feel the urge to continue fighting. Forcing herself to calm down, her spear finally dissapeared as her hand began to shake. Grabbing her right hand with her left, she held it, trying to make it stop. It took a while before she was able to calm herself down.

OT: Good Night.
