Chapter 10: Field Trip part 2

Auriaco and Weiss stood on opposite ends of a small clearing about 15 feet wide and around 20 feet long. His tonfas were drawn and Weiss held Myrtenaster in her left hand. "Come at me whenever you are ready." He would smile at her and click a button on his tonfas, releasing their blades. "There are no rules for this battle. Anything goes. I will be fighting you with the intent to kill, and I expect you to do the same." He didn't really plan to kill the girl, but he did plan to fight as he said. If there was one thing he had learned after graduating Beacon, it was self control in the moment before you deliver the killing blow.

He expected Weiss to make the first move, and he was right. He watched as she used one of her glyphs to speed herself towards him, Myrtenaster pointed towards him. Her attack was easy to read and he was quickly able to deflect the attack, but not quick enough as he felt the tip of her blade cut into his cheek. As he deflected the attack, he pointed one of his tonfas at Weiss's shoulder and, with a pull of the trigger, shot a non lethal dust round at her. He knew it wouldn't really damage her, but it would hurt like hell due to their close proximity and the fact that his dust rounds were shotgun shells filled with dust pellets. The particular round he just fired into her shoulder were non lethal paralyzer rounds that utilized a unique voltage of electricity that would cripple her arm for the remainder of the battle. However, what he didn't take into account was that Weiss had been prepared. Before the battle started she had apparently coated her body in tiny glyphs that would repel any elemental effects of his weapon, thus making the dust rounds he currently had with him useless.

He would jump back and smile at her. "Not bad girly. It seems you aren't just all talk. I think we could put another stake on this match. If I win, and I know I will, I become your personal tutor for the remainder of my stay. Which means you have to listen to whatever I say, within reason. You are free to say no to anything outrageous. Now, state your terms for the highly unlikely chance that you win."

Weiss would smirk at him as she held Myrtenaster pointed towards the ground. "Hmmm...if I win you have to become my personal servant. Do anything I ask, and you are not allowed to say no." Auriaco would smile at her. "Hmm, cocky. I like that. Very well. I agree to your terms. But you won't win." With that he ran towards her, his tonfas held in front of him in an X formation. After closing the distance between them, he would sweep his prosthetic leg under her own legs hoping to knock her off balance. He failed as the second he tried, she would do a few back flips to enlarge the distance again. "Smart girl. You know my weapon is close range while yours has a much higher range due to your dust control. Then I suppose it's time I get serious as well." He would grab his trench coat and, removing it in a flash, toss it to the side with it landing so it was hanging off of a tree branch.

There he stood in his old battle uniform. His standard white dress shirt, the first three buttons undone to reveal his masculine and heavily scarred chest which had 3 bright orange feathers sticking out in the place of chest hair, his black and orange vest covering that dress shirt, his emblem emblazoned above the left breast pocket. His dull and worn orange pants seemed to have a slight sag to them, probably due to use over the past 10 years of their lifetime, and finally his brown combat boots, complete with a few tricks hidden within the sole.

He could see Weiss physically blush at his appearance and, as it has done that to many a woman, he wasn't surprised and decided to take advantage of her opening. He once again went to close the distance between the two, this time going full berserker mode as he tended to do in the heat of battle. Weiss was obviously taken by surprise as she didn't have time to react before Auriaco was able to put the blade of his tonfas against her throat. "Seems like I win girly." Weiss could only smile as she seemed to completely vanish from Auriaco's sight. "What the fuck?" Auriaco had heard about this technique of hers. She apparently had a glyph that allowed her to summon exact replicas of her body to use as decoys, a technique she learned from training under Blake for the second half of their first year together. "Hmm, smart move girly. Why don't you come out and fight me seriously now? We both know that this is what you-" He was cut off as Weiss jumped out from a tree, ready to deliver the final killing blow to Auriaco. "Hmmph. Too slow." He ducked, just barely dodging her attack and, just as he was about to counterattack, he heard an explosion go off in the distance, where the majority of his students were. "That didn't sound like Nora using Magnhild did it?" He looked to his right and saw Weiss get up and dust herself off. Obviously she heard the explosion as well. "No, it didn't. Should we consider this a draw and head over there?" He would smile at her and nod. "Although it wasn't really a draw. I obviously won, so welcome to my service girly." Weiss would blush a little but quickly compose herself. "Very well. If my professor says that he won, I will not question him." He smiled a little more and they both ran off towards the rest of the group, where they could see black smoke rising from the area.
