A/N: Hey, everyone. I have a new idea for a champion. I'll call her ... Komisomah the Pretentious Artist. She is a dps melee champion. Her attire is a black and white striped t-shirt with jeans and a messenger hat worn backwards. Or the headwear could be a beret, whichever the case. She wields an enlargened filbert paintbrush and fights with it as if it was a polearm.
Passive: Unfinished Work = For every three attacks, Komisomah covers her opponent's face with the black paint on her brush. This causes them to be blind for a short period of time.
Q: Rejected = Slams a painting onto an enemy, causing them to be unable to move or attack for a short duration.
W: For A Tower = Paints a line on the ground and summons an impassible wall from where it was painted. It will only last a short duration of time.
E: Strokin = Speeds to the back of an enemy, and stabs them with her brush so they get launched to where they're facing.
R: Tank! = Cross map ult. The Thinker statue will fall onto a marked place dealing true damage and slowing whoever gets hit.
Classroom 2-A, evening, I hear Lou's opponent speaking with the others in the room, "I think Hackee's up to something. I just saw him skulking around his desk. He stands out so badly that no matter how furtive he tries to be his actions are easy to see." His desk? At the back row near the windows, this is where Shinji sits. Shinji's desk is disturbingly organized, a reflection of his obsessive-compulsive personality.
The blackboard girl nods, "Just now I heard Shinji cackling to himself, saying something like 'I've got it...'" Ugh, this guy really doesn't want me to face him, huh...
My friend near the window sighs in relief as he sees me, "Phew, I finally got my Triggers! How about you, Miku...? Oh, I see. You and Shinji are pitted against each other. That's kinda rough." Well, that doesn't really matter much since I have both my Triggers, too. We can celebrate after this week!
Exiting the classroom, I meet with the female classmate that is usually standing right outside of it. "Obviously the Holy Grail doesn't exist. But aren't you curious how far you can get in the War? I've trained for this. I won't lose." Is that ... a good enough reason to risk your life...? She waves me off.
Off to my side, I hear another peer grumbling, "There goes Shinji running around again. You'd almost think he was working hard..."
The student beside him shakes his head along with the former. "Shinji is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I get it, tomorrow's a big day." What is he doing now? I'm getting very worried.
At the other end of the hallway, the usual student that stands near the windows outside of the library looks out to the school grounds rather bored, "Isn't Andy just a prince? Yeah, as in, literal royalty. He's the son of the Dinh royal family. He and Shinji are both princes of their domain, or they think they are..." Well, I do suppose that belief can be rather hazardous when it also affects pride, so ... yes, that is a problem with them.
I enter the library and see the librarian at her usual station. "In order to survive the Holy Grail War, you need to write often and monitor your information matrix. The prep period ends tomorrow. So, good luck! May the Holy Grail continue to illuminate your path.
Going down to the history section of the bookshelves, I find a piece that talks about the Shock and Awe.
-About the Shock and Awe-
A 16th century English-like set of dual pistols. Originally named the -Pelicans-, the weapons' names were changed to reflect the crest of its chief benefactor. Many accounts place it at the location of a number of raids against Ionian shipping interests.
Well, that's about all the text says of the Shock and Awe... So it's her pistols and not her ship... "The locations of the Triggers, also known as cipher keys, are intuitive. Namely, the Primary Trigger is on the first floor, and the Secondary Trigger is on the second floor. So the first cipher key is on the first floor, etc." An NPC is talking to me and another student beside me, right now. Well, there isn't much to learn here since I already know of this information anyways. I appreciate the thought though.
"I've made gathering my Triggers my top priority, since you can't even enter the Coliseum without them." Yes, I have also gathered the Triggers necessary to get to the Coliseum. I think I should go now.
Exiting the library, I encounter the unfriendly player again. How are you? "You and I may fight at some point. It's stupid for us to talk." All right... Then, I'll just go.
Since I'm pretty worried about what Shinji is up to, I ask around to see if they have any information on him. "Shinji? I saw him loitering around the nurse's office earlier. I wonder what he was up to," the girl outside of the teacher's office tells me.
The person whose lovestruck with Cristina should know what was going on at her place. "I wonder what Shinji was doing by the nurse's office? He seemed kind of panicky..." And talking with Cristina isn't going to go anywhere since she isn't the type to talk about other players.
Under the first floor, the gluttonous student apparently hasn't seen Shinji at the food court. "Oh, do you have any Formal Wear? You can buy some here, but try searching the Arena first." Thanks, but that's not the information I need of the status quo.
As I walk up the flight of stairs, the student council member at the food court also advises me, "Both Ether Powder and Ether Shard will heal your Champion's wounds. I highly advise that you keep some around just in case things go south on you." Acknowledged.
At the garden, the flower girl muses to herself, "I find the sound of the fountain to be soothing. A shame it's in the middle of the battlefield." I suppose that means you're too dazed at the moment to notice Shinji, hmm? Oh well. If you can't notice me, then it must mean what I said is true.
What about the two sisters? Inside of the chapel, Shurelia remarks, "You should be in the Arena training instead of talking with me. You're still far too weak." That means ... no, right?
Nikasaur notices me in despair and quickly asks me, "Want to do an Alteration?"
...OK, since we're here anyway, let's do it then. Caster suggests that I should start getting this new mastery point in Sorcery. And ... wait, I can return all the points that I have and start over with them? Oh, so that's why they're called Alteration. Then since I apparently don't have the Summoner Spells required to use Summoner's Wrath at the moment, I'll convert that point to complete the rank in Mental Force.
The keyboard and monitor, pillar of data, and earthquakes return as a result of my confirmation and I feel that my Champion has grown even stronger. Caster giggles, "Oh dear Master, you've given me the best gift of all... A level-up in your love!" I smile back.
"What now? Need another Alteration?" No, we should go and see what Shinji is doing. Thank you.
I guess that Shinji isn't around and that I'll have to face him in the Mystic Maze again. Walking down the hallway to the Arena, The girl outside of classroom 1-A claps towards me, "You must really scare Hackee. Hacking the Arena is a good way to incite the wrath of R.I.O.T. If R.I.O.T finds out what he did, the penalty he'd receive would be ... severe." Oh, so that was illegal? Now that I think about it, it should be. Then it is his fault for being very telling about himself.
Further through the wing, I see the both sides of the couple here today. "Uh... I was doing research on my honey's opponent when I realized I knew nothing about my own... Fortunately my Champion is pretty powerful, so I'll be all right for now, but later on..." I see the boyfriend is still having troubles.
What about the girlfriend? "Thanks to my wonderful darling, I got a bunch of information on my opponent! I didn't do anything, but he somehow found out the true name of my opponent's Champion... I know you're jealous. Who knows, someday you'll find someone as wonderful as my darling!" Blissfully unaware, as usual. I've wasted enough time, I should head to the Maze.
The moment I tried to enter the Arena, it felt like I ran into a wall and I was flung backwards. It seems someone put up a barrier. My Champion appears before me, "Hold up there, Master! Someone put up a barrier here! I can only think of one person degenerate enough to do something so cheap..." Caster disappears just as quickly.
"Hey there! Looks like you've been hitting the Arena pretty hard. Toughen up yet? I was bored, so I decided to set up a few little surprises here and there. My bad. I'm actually doing bottom feeding Summoners like Miku a favor. The Arena is a dangerous place. But if you must enter the Arena, you'll need to track down the two magic sigils I set. However, once you make it to the Arena, I'll crush you like a cockroach. Show up if you dare. See you later. Oh, and where are the magic sigils, you ask? Find them yourself, loser!" Shinji leaves the scene with a rather pompous walk.
The fox girl reappears, obviously frustrated, "Argh! What a pain in the ... tail! Master, I'm going to put a death curse on that annoying insect! I'll apologize for killing someone outside of the Arena later! Once we find those sigils, the barrier should disappear. I guess he's just stalling for time. We need to find the two locations he said he set the sigils! It shouldn't be too hard ... I hope." She sighs before going invisible again.
I understand your frustration, Caster. But don't count me out just yet! I remember that everyone was saying something about Shinji fooling around with a few places. Those places are: His desk and the nurse's office! I feel that my chest and stomach are being grabbed right now. Caster... Not now. I think she's praising me, but she is going to have to do it in a less ... sexual way.
She grabs onto my hand and drags me to the nurse's office. Outside of Cristina's room, I see a peculiar purple slip on the door. It's radiating purple data, in a way. I'm sure that this is one of Shinji's sigils. I'm not sure how but one of the sigils used to make the barrier has been deleted. "Master, I found one! Wow, this magic sigil's a joke. I could erase it with a flick of my tail. Oh, Master~! Have you ever given any thought to pressing at all? Pressing it will bring up a list of places you can travel to without any effort on your part!" So it's like teleporting... I like that. Let's try it out. I press the that's on my terminal and a list comes up.

3rd Floor
2nd Floor
1st Floor
Commissary
Chapel
Obviously, I should go to the second floor.
Wow, teleporting is pretty cool. I don't need to walk as much either. Interesting... I enter classroom 2-A again and I see the purple sigil on Shinji's desk. Just like before, Caster makes the other sigil used to make the barrier delete itself. "All right, we finally got rid of those pesky magic sigils! Master, you really are the greatest!" Oh, it was nothing. "Wait a sec. That little punk's human, but he still pulled off that trap in the R.I.O.T? How..."
Maybe we should take a break in our room, Caster?
When we enter, Caster sits upon the desks again, making a relieved face. "Don't worry about your mistakes; it was your first time after all. You still have my love and respect! It was just beginner's ... un-luck...? Our next foe is that fashion victim, right? Don't worry, I can take him!" Was she remembering about the fight yesterday? I weren't winning against her, but we weren't losing either. I'll make sure to take better care of you.
After spending some nice quiet time together, I activate the fast-travel system again and teleport to the first floor. This is getting really fun. In front of the Arena's entrance, I meet with Shinji again.
"Hmph. They got here faster than I expected. But all that means is they didn't collect much treasure." He speeds his way into the Mystic Maze after he's had his word.
This is the Arena entrance. Should I head inside...? Let's go to the Second Floor, since there are some pretty strong enemies over there and I'm sure that's where Shinji is. Let's face him, together.
First Chimeric Lunar Sea - Mystic Maze Second Floor
GREED AND LUST COMBINE TO BURST INTO BRILLIANCE, AND LEAD ONWARD TO THE SEPULCHER OF THE SEA.
A chuckles comes from Casters mouth, "Let the hunt begin." And hopefully finish this time.
After some time exploring the Mystic Maze, we didn't encounter or even see a trail of Shinji. "I'm sure we've already discovered everything. Shouldn't we leave now?" ...Actually, I do agree with you here, Caster. There's nothing much to do here other than to get to the other side... So I guess that's what we're doing. Let's return to campus.
How odd, I thought there was going to be another duel between us.
My Champion yawns as we walk onto the diamond platform, "We managed to survive the day, my dear Master."
At night. "You can't fool me with cheap tricks...! He won't be the only Summoner to set up obstacles like that outside the Arena. But, as long as you're with me, Master, I'll knock down all the obstacles in your way! Ah, the prep period ends tomorrow. If you don't have your cipher keys, remember to get them tomorrow." I shouldn't lose them either, though I'm not very sure how I could. Maybe if I had a magnet with me or something... I open my terminal to check the status of my Information Matrix.

02: Invincible Armada = The name given to the Bilgewater naval forces during the period of history known as the Age of Discovery.
The Invincible Armada consisted of an estimated 65,000 men serving on more than a hundred large warships, each of which weighed in at over 1,000 tons. Its might was such that it earned Bilgewater the reputation of being "The kingdom on which the ships will never set."
03: Logbook = The sailing logs of a renowned explorer who successfully circumnavigated the globe.
The logs themselves are illegible, with pages cracked and flaking. However, it seems that the author of these logs was a ship's captain who made their name as both an adventurer and fleet commander.

According to Caster's own words: "This time there is only one due to the constraints of the Moon Cell, but originally I could produce a million troops from my multiple tails!"
That is really suspicious though.

Matrix SKILL
01: Essence Theft [C] = A passive ability that activates whenever any of Ahri's champion abilities deal damage, causing her to gain charges of Essence Theft. Each target that was dealt damage will provide 1 charge, up to a maximum of 3 per ability. Upon reaching 9 stacks, her next ability will consume the charges to gain 35% spell vamp when it deals damage.
Essence Theft is not expended if her next ability doesn't hit an enemy unit.
Spirit Rush's 3 separate casts are considered as individual spell casts; it is therefore possible to gain 9 charges by only activating Spirit Rush.
Essence Theft cannot be charged or consumed with her summoner spells or items' active effects.
When Essence Theft has 9 stacks, Caster's orb becomes green.

So, nothing's changed. Let's go to sleep, Caster. It won't be good if we fight while we're tired. Caster nods and lies down alongside me. My back is facing her now, since I'm not very sure if I would get any sleep from seeing her sleeping face. It's pretty cute... But she is just as dangerous as a vixen as she usually is when she's awake. Even without much effort, the fox girl has wrapped her arms and tails around me. It is comfortable, but I'm sure that I won't be able to escape from this bed even if I struggle... Oh, well. This really isn't the time to think about that. Good night.
A/N: So yeah, I noticed that I got the stats wrong for MF, and I changed some of it. There's not much else to say, but I do get excited for the Coliseum battles. I actually have to work for those. Also, please leave some feedback.
