Chapter 9: Field Trip Part 1
As they were landing, Auriaco wound point out what he had meant by somewhat controlled environment. They were landing in a patch of the Forever Fall that was about 100 yards in size. Around that 100 yards were some off duty Hunters and Huntresses keeping out any big nasties that may or may not wander into their field trip. "Ok boys and girls. Go show whatever is here that you are future hunters and huntresses. Make sure not to die. I wouldn't want to carry a dead body." Auriaco looked out the window and frowned a little. As his luck would have it, they were landing in the exact area where his team was wiped out, or so it looked from appearances. It's been 3 years since Auriaco has been to the Forever Falls and everything looks the same.
He would get shaken out of his daydreaming as the hangar door would start to open, letting out him and his students. He looked around the small clearing and smiled inwardly. It was nice and quiet so far, just the way he liked things like this. "Ok ladies and gentleman. Go nuts, do whatever you like here. Just don't kill each other. Keep an eye on your Aura, and don't wander past the boundary. I am not responsible for you once you do. Oh, and you can even challenge me if you so desire-" He was cut off as the bow in the suit of armor, Mr. Winchester, ran towards him, his mace in the air. Auriaco could only smile and would side step the boys assault and, drawing one of his tonfas and keeping it's blade retracted for now, press it up against the back of his head. "See, that is what not to do." He would put his tonfa away and throw Mr Winchester back into the group. "If anyone needs me, I shall be wandering around. You know how to contact me using your tablets. Do so if you absolutely need me."
He started to walk away and heard the group start to disperse in different directions, some of them taking up sparring while others just sitting around and catching up on their sleep. The only odd one of the group was Weiss who was deciding to follow him. "Are you sure you aren't stalking me?" He didn't even bother to turn around and just kept on walking towards a suspected meeting area of the supposed crime ring he was here to investigate in the first place. Weiss would only do her usual scoff whenever Auriaco would open her mouth. "Of course I'm not stalking you. I'm waiting until we get somewhere more private so I can duel you. I don't want the others to watch it."
Auriaco would raise his eyebrow after her statement and, still not bothering to look back and leading them into an even smaller clearing which would force Weiss to be in an entirely close quarters battle. "Very well. If that is what you wish." The minute he got to the end of the clearing he would turn around, his tonfas already drawn. "Show me what you've got Missy."
