"Team 1 Vs Team 4 1 Vs 1 sparring match! Hailie Vs Klene!"
The higher graders cheer for the freshmen, other siding with team 1, others siding with team 4. Hailie at the far East of the arena and Klene on the far West, both bow and start the match. Both rush, Klene only moving a small distance and Hailie rushing towards Klene with full force ready to be blown by her right hand.
Klene, just examining this, drags his right foot backward. Hailie, already expecting this as she reaches Klene, she punches forward, Klene bringing his body down only to be met with Hailie's foot, he pushes himself up with only the right foot,the left foot forming an angle on the crotch center, and he proceeds to headbutt Hailie, sending her to the center of the arena.
Klene does a gesture that tells Hailie to come at him again. And she proceeds to do so, lunging at him again, she fires a low punch, aiming at the knee and Klene drags his left foot forward, grabbing Hailie by the shoulder and using her balance as a post.
He does an over head kick and hits her chest with his shoulder "damn that's soft" He continues the combo by hitting her shoulders and her chest with his palms, and lastly her head pushing her down. He pauses for a while, looking at how her chest jiggled "damn that's soft" he tells himself again before raising his hands up, calling a win
"Feiry Vs Cameron! Contestants please proceed to the arena right away!"
Feiry groans
"I was expecting a break.."
"Hey, don't take it easy on me all right?" Cameron confidently boasts Feiry "Like I wouldn't!" He gives Cameron a smirk while running down the stairway towards the entrance of the area
Cameron and Feiry both stay in an offensive stance, though not having swords. Cameron initiates, running towards Feiry, zig zagging half way through the arena leaving after images because of his speed
Feiry stomps his right foot forward launching his right fist on forehead level while his left fist ready for a counter attack. Cameron swerves left and ducks to dodge both fists Feiry was planning to land and tries to back fist the right side of Feiry's head.
Feiry gets hit and cartwheels to stay up the pace. By the time he got some breathing room Cameron flashes in front of him with an upper cut, sending Feiry up in the air. He continues the combo by moving to the closest wall, wall jumping to kick Feiry, sending him down to the ground
He stands up, ready to block the next attack, focusing on Cameron who's jumping from the wall to ease acceleration. Dragging through the ground and then running to keep up speed, he jumps to air kick Feiry. Seeing this, he ducks and grabs Cameron's leg, slamming him down with enough force that he bounced a bit off of it.
He lands 2 punches and an uppercut to keep him in the air and then a kick, sending him back to where he started, rolling towards the east entrance wall. He manages to grab hold of himself and push himself off the ground, he jumps off a wall towards a running Feiry
Both clash fists, forming a slight shockwave, sending bits of dirt and sand away. Cameron initiates again with punches that Feiry manages to block, grabbing his arm on the fourth punch, sending him back.
Cameron manages to keep balance and block Feiry's counter attack, as he proceeds to fire a flurry of strikes. Cameron manages to keep pace, blocking and redirecting every other punch.
Feiry sees an opportunity to land a kick and takes it. Cameron finds his own weakness and tries to block, though he's not able to fully block the force of Feiry's punch, sending him far back and both stop, emitting light
Feiry emits an orange glow and Cameron emits a greyish glow
"This soon?" Cynthia questions, Ryuku pats her back, taking her interest and he explains
"We've been making them have sparring matches every morning and the afternoon 2 days ago."
Cynthia's face glows up
"Oh! And they kept on for this long and the Glyph ascended!"
Ryuku nods and focuses on the two
"And that's why, they'll continue the fight until time runs out."
Everyone is shocked, the Glyph Expert had his jaw drop and thought of stopping the fight now. But he wanted to see a beginner's usage of their weapon the second they unlock it.
Feiry's essence form into katanas, with a hilt having the face of a fox and the end of the handles have a pattern that seem the both of the swords can be formed into one, double edged sword. Cameron's form into a bow with parallel triangles on sight, discs of light emitting a bluish color that fade into a darkish yellow the closer it is to the ends of the bow.
"Well, this will be fun!" Fiery tells himself as he strengthens his grip of the handles and start rushing towards Cameron. Who's shooting arrows, changing color with every shot "wait, this seems familiar" Cameron remembers his dream centered on Eliseo. He shoots a blue arrow, that Fiery slices in half with his right sword. He then fires a green arrow, moving in a wavy manner that Fiery had to shift to the left to dodge. He shoots a red arrow that exploded on contact to Fiery's sword, making him roll back
"What are these!?" Fiery tells himself as he dashes to grab each sword before Cameron would fire another arrow. So pissed that he can't get close to Cameron, he dashes in a zigzag motion with no pattern whatsoever, confusing Cameron on where he should fire arrows.
Feiry manages to get close to Cameron and strike upward with his right sword. Cameron blocks the attack by using the bow as a sword, clashing the two. Feiry turns and try to hit Cameron with both swords from above, though Cameron held his bow to clash with the swords, blocking the attack.
The swords are inserted into the bow, Cameron sees the opportunity and drags the twin swords downward. Feiry had not expected it and fell down with his swords, as he stood up he gets met by Cameron's bow hitting him on the head and pushing him away again.
Exhausted, he plans to finish it all in one final attack. Feiry stands up with both swords pointing towards Cameron ready for his final shot. By the time he gets close to Cameron he has both swords ready to slice him into pieces and Cameron a blue arrow ready to be launched straight towards Feiry's head.
The Glyph Expert blows the horns for a break and calls the match as a tie between the two. As he dismissed them Ryuku and Cynthia go down to the arena along with Hailie, Crine, Zelig, and Klene. The six applauded the both of them for their terrific match, Ryuku and Cynthia added on, planning on treating them because they got their weapons so early. The six freshmen jump in excitement and the eight students proceed to the canteen
"I want you to fight me at the training room." Ryuku smirks at Feiry
"Hey, we had a deal!" Cynthia groans
"Not my fault that you didn't ask first" He replies flipping his hair against her
Crine stands up, making everyone on the table face him "Can I just say this again: But damn that fight was spewing fire!"
Zelig slams the table "And how near the end, THEY GET THEIR WEAPONS"
Cameron and Feiry stare at each other and then back at the group "it's really nothing much" both say in unison
"You guys are now ready for the tournament next week!"
"Wait, we're going to be fighting without any weapons?" Hailie asked
Cynthia snaps her fingers and explains
"You guys are just going to fight your grade level, if you reach the top and manage to fight against us second years. That's going to be astounding! Some students also get their weapons while fighting the higher ups, Ryuku got his fighting the third years last year!"
Everyone stares at Ryuku who's suddenly gone from the table. The 6 asked Cynthia where he went and she responds by kicking the table. Where suddenly a Ryuku pops back out, telling the group that they really shouldn't expect something so high from him just because he fought a third year. Cynthia added that he fought against a fourth year and won, that made Ryuku fall to the ground in embarrassment.
The six asked how he did it. And he replied telling them that the double scythe can be separated. Further increasing the six' excitement and anticipation of the upcoming fight between Feiry and Ryuku. Feiry is getting nervous realizing who Ryuku actually is within school grounds and is expecting to get dunked on the fight against him later that day.
"Hey, take it easy on me bud!" Zelig tells Crine as they both walk down towards the arena entrance
"Don't worry, I won't!" Crine replies
"But seriously tho-.." Zelig says nervously as Crine glares at him
"Give it your all!" He says as he shakes Zelig
"So that's it..." Zelig whispers to himself
"And commence!" The Glyph Expert announces, prompting both to start, the two run towards each other, upon meeting Zelig face to face. Crine starts moving back and forth, faking kicks, confusing Zelig. He decides to initiate the attack and start a flurry of punches that Crine blocks with both his hands and his knees
"This guy is just punching anywhere he could!"
Continuing on blocking the punches, Crine tries to look for an opening and Zelig aimed for the forehead. He crouches, preparing himself for a high jump, he did an overhead low kick pushing Zelig down.
Finding this opportunity, as Zelig pulls his head up, Crine headbutts the guy and begins to punch his shoulders, pushing him back hitting Zelig's chest with his palm to make him fall.
As Zelig picks himself up, he notices Crine's leg and quickly blocks it with his arm. He swerves to the right and back fists Crine, he then gives out heavy punches to his shoulders, and his chest, pushing Crine back.
Zelig plans on finishing it quick by delivering one final blow against Crine. He tries landing a punch on Crine who's still picking himself up but he blocks the attack and tries to counter with another punch that Zelig blocks.
"I see you're getting serious.."
Crine menacingly whispers to Zelig's face as they struggle to get their hands off. Crine decides to kick Zelig off balance and after successfully doing so, he punches Zelig one after another until Zelig couldn't stand anymore.
The Glyph Expert stops the match and announce Crine as the winner.
The 8 are talking about the recent fight, how Zelig got owned by Crine and how it was an absolutely quick one. Until Cynthia notices someone "Oh hey!"
The person has a brown sling bag, darkish yellow hair up to neck level, a green polo and boxers.
"Katie! Long time no see! Why are you here?"
Crine and Klene whispers to Cynthia if the person approaching them is a male or a female, because they're having problems distinguishing the person.
Cynthia chuckles and tells them that the person is a girl, even if she almost doesn't look like one. Ryuku barges in the conversation saying "chopping board" and quickly goes back to position, making Cynthia laugh out loud. Katie draws near and asks them what was up, Cynthia jokes her grinning menacingly as she says "chopping board" straight at her face. Causing Katie to be irritated, summoning an edgy gauntlet and punching Cynthia in the speed of light that no one was able to react, a cloud of smoke suddenly appears and as it dispersed, revealed Cynthia blocking the punch still with the grin up on her face.
Ryuku reminds the girls to stop and asked Katie what her intentions were for coming here. She looks around the table and pointed at Zelig "you need training..." She looks around some more and points at Crine "But you have some potential."
She then tells the group that she was watching the matches. She was interested on Feiry and Cameron with their fight because they really picked up Ryuku and Cynthia's moves when it came to CQCombat. Until they got their weapons and she scrapped all the plans that she had of the two of them. Zelig Vs Crine, however, got her interested in Crine and planned on teaching him. Because according to how the fight went, she said that he'll be a Brawler once his Glyph ascends
"Wait wait wait.. how do you know a person's weapon before they get it?" Crine asks
"Body movement like strength, flexibility, reaction time, and detail processing" Katie replies
Ryuku whispers to Crine's ear "she's pretty known for knowing these kinds of stuff, maybe more than the 'experts' heh"
Katie further explains how she got interested of Cameron and Feiry, that it was because they were keen on each other's body language. That they were pretty strong when it came to exchanging blows and their usage of their environment like the sand and the walls to their advantage were some of the leading reasons why.
Then on Crine, he dealt 15 blows on Zelig in such a short amount of time with incredible force and he still didn't get his weapon. She speculated that he may have gauntlets so she planned on training him.
Hailie talks out of the blue and chuckles "it's surprising how the students are the one reaching out and not the experts!"
Ryuku heard it and clapped to take Hailie's attention. Telling her that the experts are merely to guide them, not teach them. So something like exploring the limitations of a weapon is for the student to discover, not for the expert to show
