Rennic Arcadius: Rennic blocked a strike from his opponent, the girl from Haven had attempted to hit him from the side and he had used Carta to block the strike. When he countered he pushed her back a few steps.
"Not bad, but you might want to try a little harder if you're going for a sneak attack." He said with a grin across his face, His opponent only scowled at him, "Aw, whats wrong? Don't like people giving you advice?" Rennic asked while make a shrugging gesture, his sabers still pointed at the ground.
"Shut up!" She yelled at him while attempting to rush him, Rennic smoothly blocked her furious strike with Magna and Carta, His first step to winning was a success, "piss off your foe" he thought with a smile. Rennic took a moment after blocking the attack to check on how Nexus was doing with his fight, and was concerned by the amount of fire dust in the air. He soon had to turn his attention back to the girl attacking him, she wasn't too bad looking, sure she was petite, but that worked with her style of fighting pretty well, Rennic was having trouble hitting her and blocking the two long daggers she fought with.
"Hey, after this, would you like to get some coffee or something?" He asked casually while trading another flurry of blows with her. The girl looked confused for a second before noticing that both his blades had gone from a dull gray to cherry red, he had decided to use his Semblance. "Oh my, it appears Mr. Arcadius has decided to use his Semblance." Professor Port said to the stadium, the Dust had drifted over to his fight as well and he was going to use it to his advantage.
"Yes, Mr. Arcadius' Semblance allows him to control any kind of Dust and infuse his weapons with them, in this case Fire." Doctor Oobleck said after Port had spoken. "Yeah, sorry but i have to end this, can we still get coffee?" Rennic said while getting into a pose were Magna was pointed out further than Carta, the girl only said "If it'll shut you up, then yes." Rennic smiled, she thought she could still win this.
Rennic rushed at her faster than she could react, he only had to touch her with Magna in order to unleash the energy in the blade and send her flying out of the arena, which is exactly what he did, he winced when he saw her hit the wall very hard, after taking a moment to catch his breath he looked over at Nexus and only saw a body flying out of the arena in the same direction as his opponent, followed by another buzz signaling the end of the match. Nexus walked up to Rennic and smiled. "Good match eh?" He said while putting Kyofu on his shoulder, Rennic only nodded as he rammed his blades into their sheaths. "Now, if you will excuse me, i have a date in a few minutes." He said to his friend.
Talia Halcyon: Talia was cheering very loudly for Rennic and Nexus, the fight had been intense and she was happy to see her friends do well in it. "Talia, sit down please." Niren said while physically pulling her back into her seat by the back of her shirt. "Sorry, i just like a good fight you know?" She said with a grin on her face. Niren only smiled and then moved his long legs so that Lirril could take her seat and share the popcorn with them, Mithril had decided to opt out on eating the popcorn and was sipping at her drink.
Talia noted that Rennic began to walk over to the other fighters and held out a hand to the small girl he had fought, the girl accepted his hand and got up, Nexus did the same with the guy as well, the display of sportsmanship sent the stadium into a round of applause.
"That was a decent fight, though Rennic shouldn't have resorted to taunting her like that." Vanir said while sitting down behind Talia, She noticed that he was followed by a girl with short curly orange hair, she was also wearing a dress, Talia kept staring at her hair, it was very curly.
"Oh, right this is my chaperone, Penny." Vanir said while moving his hand with a sweeping movement. "It's nice to meet you Penny." Talia said while leaning over her row to shake her hand. "Hello." Niren said while turning a page in a book he had brought for in between matches. Nexus who had returned to the stands as soon as he could, Mithril, and Lirril all waved, though Nexus stared at Penny with interest, his synthetic eyes seemed to be scanning her.
"So, how did such a sweet girl get stuck with… him?" Talia asked Penny while twisted back in her seat, she didn't care if it was uncomfortable, she had someone to talk to who wasn't intent on being quiet, not that Niren or Lirril weren't interesting, she had been with them for three years and knew just about everything about them. "Oh, Mr. Ironwood said i was the only one qualified to keep him in line." Penny said while nodding. "She means that out of every soldier they tried to force on me, she was the only one i didn't try to kill." Vanir said in a grouchy voice.
"Then don't fight Atlesian Specialists, and don't get drunk and break a soldier's arm, you dummy." Talia said to him with a mocking grin, she did not avoid the popcorn he tossed at her. "Next fights about to start." Vanir said.
About Half an Hour Earlier
Vanir Argent: Vanir looked at the group of soldiers all holding their arms and giving him the evil eye, despite Ironwoods best attempt at finding someone who wouldn't get killed by Vanir he had been unsuccessful. "You need to have a chaperone for the day Vanir." Ozpin said, still sitting at his desk. "No soldiers." Vanir said while pacing, everyone looked either tired, angry, or amused. Ironwood took a moment to type something into his scroll and let everyone wait for at least ten minutes before letting them know who he was bringing up this time, to Vanir's surprise it was a young girl with curly orange hair who was wearing a dress of some kind.
"You have got to be joking." Vanir said while staring her down. "I didn't realize that your army was letting people below nineteen join now, the Knights were already doing that when you still had control over them though." Vanir said, he was completely unimpressed by the girl. Ironwood nodded once when the girl looked back at him and moved faster than Vanir could followed and soon had him in a choke hold.
"That's enough James!" Glynda shouted at the General, who had yet to give the order for the girl to release Vanir. His face had turned slightly red, and his eyes were screaming murder. "Let him go Penny." Ironwood said, everyone could tell Vanir had struck a nerve when he began to talk about how the General had let the Knights take young children. Vanir rubbed his neck and adjusted the scarf he wore to cover a series of scars that ran the length of his neck. "You know…. im impressed with that one, i can get behind the idea of having her be my chaperone for today." Vanir said, his praise was genuine.
After he finished fixing his scarf Vanir walked up to the girl and held out a hand. "My name is Vanir Argent, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said, the girl grabbed his hand and began to shake it. "My name is Penny, it's a pleasure." She said, her voiced jumped up and octave mid sentence causing Vanir a fair amount of pain. The two of them shook hands until everyone realized that Vanirs face had gone sheet white, Penny had crushed his hand somehow. "That's quite a grip you have there." Vanir said after Penny had let go of his crushed hand, his Aura was already fixing the damage, everyone in the room cringed at the sound of popping bones as the entire structure of his left hand rebuilt itself.
"This is an interesting one General, i promise i won't get her into any trouble." Vanir said while walking towards the elevator. "Mr. Argent, please try to stay within the faire grounds today." Ozpin said while sipping some of his drink. "Of course sir." Vanir said while bowing to the Headmaster, he knew it pissed off Ironwood that he deferred to Ozpin but not to him. "Let's go watch a fight or two." Vanir said on the way down. Penny looked at him with a mixture of interest and suspicion.
Talia Halcyon: "That doesn't seem like a good matchup for a fight." Talia said when she saw who Coco and her team mate had to fight. "Agreed, Mercury and Emerald are both much faster and skilled than them, on top of that they arena has a large amount of cover that Coco can't just shoot through." Niren said while running the numbers through his head.
"Any chance they can win?" Talia asked after a while. Niren was counting off multiple numbers, he was currently counting with his fingers. "It's very slim." He said after a short pause in his counting. Talia hoped that the slim chance they won would be the outcome.
Talia was proven wrong five minutes later, when Coco was sent flying from the forest she had been dragged into. "Something about those two makes me feel….. wary." Vanir said while leaning forward. "What do you mean?" Talia asked, the others had all turned to look at him. "Not just them, their whole team makes me feel like someone is going to try and stab me in the back, this is just a hunch however." Vanir said while staring down at the two figures leaving the field.
Talia decided that things had taken a turn for gloomy and she decided that she had seen enough battles for the day. "Come on Niren, let's go get some food." She said while practically dragging him behind her.
Mithril Fullbuster: "Hey Nexus, what are you going to do for now?" Mithril asked her partner. Nexus took a moment before he answered. "I think i will stay here for now and keep Lirril company." Nexus said while cracking the metal bones in his neck. "I'm going to go with Vanir then, he said he wanted to get coffee at a nearby shop that Blake told him about." Mithril said while picking up her things and followed Vanir out of the stands.
"So, you still want to go to that coffee shop?" Mithril asked Vanir as they walked to the nearest airship landing so they could get off of the floating stadium, Penny was tailing them at a distance. " Sure, Penny won't bother us much anyway, she's just supposed to keep an eye on me for today." Vanir said while smiling as he thought about getting some food that wasn't laced with enough salt to make a farm barren.
"So, why did they give you Penny and not Winter?" Mithril asked him as they boarded the airship. "Winter had to go do some important mission, and Penny was the only one who could overpower me, she also crushed my hand." Vanir said while strapping himself in. "She did what?!" Mithril said loudly, drawing a couple of stares. "Relax, she does need to be watched though, and someone must have thought that letting her walked around a small area while on a job might be a good idea." Vanir said before taking a deep breath as the airship took off.
Half a minute later, he was vomiting into the nearest trash bin, and Mithril was laughing at him for his airsickness.
God it took me a while to finish this, thank you all for reading.
