Training Room
Belle was strunk in the side by Yun, and she reeled back, her Aura thankfully taking most of the damage but depleting slightly. It was clear to her now that a close range battle might result her loss, and what kind of spar would this be if she just handed over the win? So she jumped back adding a backflip, coming back down Gemini pistols cocked, and opened fire aiming mostly for his torso.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850Bringing his arms up to protect his torso, Yun managed to shield himself from the brunt of the barrage, although his aura did drop slightly when a few bullets nicked his legs and shoulders as he dashed to one side.
Damn, now she's got the advantage of range Yun sighed, a small part of him regretting not bringing Skyfire to use in this match. Still, this would be a good time to try out something cool...
Stormbreaker's silver lines began glowing as Yun channeled aura into them, and a pale yellow shell of light began to form around his fist. Cocking his arm back, Yun sent the aura construct flying towards Belle's leg with a jab. However, a glance at the monitor showed that the projectile had consumed 10% of his maximum aura.
I'll need to work on next time.

This was very interesting, but what were these "toys"?
Nonetheless, it was time for fighting. Ms. De la Vega agreed to become their official dueling supervisor, and hooeked them up to the display screens. Their aura levels and general well being were displayed, as well as their school picture.
The lights around the arena dimmed as the four were brought into the center ring. "Alright then. Let's make this showy, shall we!" De La Vega threw her hand in the air, then disappeared. That was probably her semblance at work.
Charisse hopped backwards, then circled aroun her opponents. So was a crafty one, and she wasn't going to make the mistake of going soft on her again. Glen and Ghatz seemed like they could throw a punch, but whether they were stronger than Charisse was to be decided.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Quickly stepping backwards to dodge the slap, Alfred looked at Ghatz curiously.
"Who the hell are you? You don't look like some prissy obnoxious minor-nobleman and you're not a slummer either. Not to mention you look rather slo-" Alfred's sentence was then cut short as his Second bolted down the stairs and into a fall. Alfred stared with a risen eyebrow at where he landed.
"How the hell did this guy get emplo-Oh wait. This is a dream isn't it?" He proceeded to pinch his cheek to test that theory, and while he was still in the same room everyone who was here before seemed to be gone now.
Confused for a second as to whether it worked or not, he decided to shrug and go to his room again, took off his pijamas and immediately took the first thing in his closet, which coincedentally was his Beacon Uniform.
After putting it on, he looked at it again, and then finally, something in his brain clicked.
"... Did I really confuse that girl for my captain? She's nowhere near as harsh."
He shrugged, no use questioning all that happened until now. He went downstairs, yawning.
"Morning Noa, you know, I couldn't hear you at all last night. I'm greatful for the peacefull sleep, but I can't help but... Worry. Worry greatly even. " He then showed a slight grin, still too tired go full force with his smugness though.
"I couldn't even hear Dagger moan this time. Are your skills gettin' rusty or is your pet just so greedy that even you can't satisfy her?"

Belle was struck on the leg taking a chunk of her Aura, and sending her sprawling forward. As she fell she slammed Gemini together, and caught herself with her now free hand, using it to bounce into air and pointed her newly configured Sniper Rifle at Yun and fired again, using weaker rounds for the purpose of sparring.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850Ghatz grinned as he rolled his shouders and cracked his neck/back. "ALRIGHT! LETS FUCKIN' DO THIS!" He eyed his opponents enthusiastically. Glen: Stronger than him. Ai: Faster than him. Charisse: Probably both. He wasn't exactly worried hoever. He was a well-rounded fighting machine. He was pumped, but could still think tactically and rationally. As Charisse circled them, he got into a simple defensive stance and observed her movements. A mahogany aura could be seen faintly around him, like light, whispy smoke off of a dry twig used as kindling. But he wasn't a dry twig.
Keep your cool, be ready to block and parry. Unless Glen comes after you, because he could probably drop you pretty easily. Then, you use a Shortcut. He got a determined look on his face, not smug, but confident. You can win, Ghatz. You know you can.

Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDDAs Glen entered the ring, he dropped Biorgadh and its scabbard outside of the general fighting area to get rid of any urge he might have to use the dagger as well as generally getting out of the way. Glen was more than confident that he'd win this fight, after all he was likely the most experienced warrior in the ring. The only real disadvantage that Glen realized he had was that he was likely the slowest fighter in the ring and would likely suffer for it.
Noting that no one had decided to throw the first punch, Glen figured he might as well get things started. With a friendly smile, Glen walked up to Ghatz and said "No hard feelings, eh?" before taking a step back and throwing a haymaker at Ghatz's face.
"No, Ayers, I personally don't remember you saying that about Sophie." Pius said, his face in his hand. Too much noise and too many things at once made the Nobel keep his eyes covered and hunch over the countertop, happy to ignore everything as he waited for the situation with Sophie and Lucas to resolve itself.
When he looked up and saw Alexia and Sophie returning to the kitchen, the latter still topless, his disapproval of his partner doubled.
"Alexia, she's still indecent." He said as they returned.
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...Cara Flavia rolled over onto her back. The blonde-haired girl had been half-awake for a few minutes now, but had only just started to realize she'd been sleeping on the floor next to her bed. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times. Well, now's as good a time to get up as any. She jumped to her feet, grinning widely.
"GOOOOOD MORNING!"
She briefly considered that her yelling might be a bit too loud for this time of day, but the voices she could hear from outside the SYNC bedroom told her otherwise. She looked around the room and, among other things, saw the floating pen writing on the wall. Her smile grew wider.
"I love this place."
I'm done here.Breakfast Blitz
Ieria glanced at Pius and spoke to him, calmly and evenly. "Calm down boss, keep taking steady breaths, you do not need to get worked up over trivial matters." She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring squeeze before turning fully to Medus. "I am going to have my usual eggs, what would you like?"

But he had had a plan if Glen came after him: Use a Shortcut. However, he never said he was going to use it to escape. His mahogany aura flared up, and as Glen threw the easily predicted punch, a Shortcut opened directly in front of Ghatz, a swirling red ring filled with black nothingness. Glen's fist should fly right through the hole... which led to another hole opening in front of Ai simultaniously. However, even if he was successful, he would need to back away, so he skittered, huffing from mild exertion, away from Glen as soon as he opened the hole.

Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDDIn front of me, huh?
Ai moved her head aside to avoid the attack.
Charisse manipulates spirals, Glen strikes slower and harder, and the wildcard has been training his Semblance to open holes in space. Got it.
Ai was stronger than the average human, but weaker than the average hunter. Her speed was one of her strengths, but not her greatest one. Ai was fast, but her true strength was leveraging her situation and playing mind games. Swiftly, Ai cross countered through Ghatz's portal with a punch of her own, taking advantage of the confusion to aim straight at Glen with the kind of punch from a fist that weighs 1500 pounds.

Glen's momentary confusion at Ghatz's use of his semblance to dodge his punch was interrupted by Ai's ridiculously heavy fist striking his face, a bright white light and an unsettling cracking noise resonating in his skull. After taking a moment to remember how his legs worked and reset his now broken nose, Glen was back in the fray. Without a moment's hesitation Glen was marching towards Ai with a need to see if he couldn't repay her for that last punch of hers. Once he was within a decent distance, Glen leaned his head back and swung his forehead right at Ai's nose.
Ayers stared blankly at Medus's raised hand. "Right, uh, one sec, then." He dropped Naegling out of his backpack, letting it clatter onto the table, and leaned down, slotting it onto his left shoulder. "Alright, now we're talking!" He raised his hand and gently slapped Medus. "Arright, there we go."
Well, his plan hadn't worked out exactly as planned, but he did manage to divert Glen's attention. Of course, this was at the cost of losing aura; he probably couldn't do that safely another two, three times. But at least now he could concentrate on Charisse, who's well-roundedness made her a big threat. He took a deep breath and raised his dukes in her direction. "So, how'd ya like my secret weapon, Charisse?" He grinned, as if he were talking shop with a close friend. "Hehe, that took a lot, trust me. But it's so much more useful than Passwall ever was." He straightened up and settled back into his defensive stance. "Anyways... I do believe we were in the middle of a fight, right? So let's go!" He grinned, bracing for any attacks she may throw.

"Whoa, scary!" said Ai.
And then she did a curtsey. A seemingly innocuous gesture of respect meant to initiate the bout, but really a thinly veiled dodge. Ai was proud of her legs — they let her move quickly, but they could also be used to jump. Up and towards her own headbutt aimed at Glen's chin.

Charisse smiled. "You're not the only one putting a bit of work into their semblance!" She had advanced her ability to allow for greater control over the direction of the rotation, as well as the general power output. It cost a bit more aura, but Charisse had eaten earlier so that was a non-issue. Probably.
She rushed Glen, collecting air around her arm as she did so. Fighting the Arcana had taught her to sacrifice a bit of the power of this attack in favor of safety. The wind rushed around her arm, creating both a shield and a ticking time bomb. Despite her seemingly head-on method of attack, she was carefully analyzing the environment and looking for anything Ghatz might throw at her. If he did, she had some tricks up her sleeves.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Ieria's only reaction to Sophie glomping her was to reach up and pat her on her arms with a scaly hand. "Hello Sophia, please put a shirt on before one of the teachers sees you." She said before going back to her food. "I am fine, yes, do not worry Me-did you take one of my eggs?" She asked her beloved, a look of one who has been betrayed crossed her face as she stared at him.

Lexi gave a small giggle, both glad to see Sophie vheered up...and completely embarassed.
She blushed deep red. "Eheee...Yes, well I heard you were really strong, and I want to see that for myself...but..um..can you not be so close? Big prude here, sorry."
