Beyond Highschool (Roleplay Here)

First topic message reminder :

Because we're pretty much done with creation, I'm gonna start it now.


All the students rush to their classes, most non fighters being pushed to the back due to their non-battle class. The teachers flew part them, to their classrooms. Until the principle came and redirected the students to the Gym area and stood at the podium, the students lining up. "Hello everyone! Today, we have several "special" members that has extraordinary strength! Some has qualified to be a teacher and some will be amongst you! Please do treat them well! *Then babbles on about school announcements*"

One looked at Korie, almost surprised. He put his hand on the handle of the sabre and slid it out of the sheathe on his belt. "Is that so?" He twisted off the ball on it's tip and aimed the blade at her. He tilted his head and grinned slyly. "In that case, how about a little duel, you and I? No restraints.." He dropped the ball onto the ground below. It rolled and bounced off of the side of Korie's foot. "If you think you can handle it.."

(guys GTFO of the Gym and go to your period locations XD)

Sly was a little surprised when a student spoke at the moment he gave up. He was mostly focused on the girl than her response. Korie. Another one from the Beyond. Sly waited for her to complete her answer while she toys with the sparring blade. It was an alright response, though general. But good nonetheless. At least there is one student he had the guts to speak out without fear of being wrong.

Before Sly could continue, One had his eyes on the student. The drawing of the blade, the sly grin. Was he really going to fight her with no restraints? What about the other students?

Do you think this is appropriate for the others to see this? Sly asked, quiet enough so as to not let the students hear. She only has that sparring blade against your saber. This is no challenge for you.

Sly didnt expect One to listen. The two of them became teachers. That was a fact. And they need to train these 'disappointment' students to fight parasites, not fill their own egos with another from the Beyond. Though Sly could expect One to state that this sparring match was a mere demonstration for the type of foes these students would face.

In that case, Sly wouldnt interfere. If the students were keen enough to pay any attention at all, they would learn something from the fight. Anything.

Either way, dont disappoint us. Sly said with a smile as he stepped back.

One lowered his sabre and raised a brow. He sighed heavily. "I s'pose your right." He then, unexpectedly, reached down into his boot and slid out another sabre; his personal one. He tilted it at an angle so it glinted brilliantly in the light. "No restraints includes no disadvantages." One tossed the one he picked up from the rack to Korie and took his personal one for himself. "An unfair fight wouldn't be much of a fight now would it? Well.. maybe to a murderer." He then stood back a good ways, giving Korie room.

I smiled, watching him bring out his saber. If he wanted a duel, then I'll give him one. I popped off my ball cap, listening to it fall to the floor. Sure, it'd be a bit unfair, but I felt like I could handle it. I put my sword out, relaxing a bit and wondering what Loki was talking about. I learned soon enough when One pulled out another saber and threw it to me, causing me to catch it with my right hand. I examined it, raising a brow at how interesting it was. Casting aside my weak spear I shifted it to my left hand, giving a slight smile before looking back up at One, and putting the blade out. Before speaking, I studied him; he was good and agile-looking, but still a bit strong. "Alors, êtes-vous prêt à battre maintenant?" I asked, smiling. If this worked and got him confused, I'd start on him and hope to at least graze him, give him a bit of a scare so he knows who he is messing with.

One smirked and replied swiftly. "You bet I'm ready." He then, without warning, sliced Korie's chest, leaving a shallow, but painful gash. He then quickly, with outstanding reflexes, jumped back into a defensive stance.

(LE SHORT POST)

I tilted my head, wondering what he was meaning. Seeing him come forward, I jumped back, still feeling the blade cut through my clothes and connect with flesh. I winced, not even looking down at my chest. I smiled, lunging forward, and making an 'x' with my saber in hopes of giving him a shallow 'x' wound on his stomach. I leaped back, still light on my feet in case I had to dodge another blow. "Amusez-vous avec ça, salope." I lightly growled, speaking in French so that I wouldn't get in trouble if they didn't know how to speak it.

One flinched, the stinging pain of a sharpened blade parting his flesh. He grit his teeth and lunged forward, getting a good three hits on Korie. One of her shoulder, one on her up arm and another on her side. He then stepped forward farther and pushed her out of balanced before jumping back again. He had bought himself some time, so he put a hand on his stomach. This would leave a scar.

Sly sighed, a little distressed. A fight between teacher and student, and the teacher harming the student. This will reflect negatively on the school, especially with ot being the only one left standing. The principal must really be scraping off the bottom of the barrel to call Dragon Storm. Barely any of them knew how to teach.

Students, watch the fight carefully. It may be you fighting parasites next, and you can expect this kind of fight. As he said this, Sly gestures his hand behind him. Immediately his pocket watch responded, and glottering pieces of gears poured from inside and circled his hand. They condensed and materialised into a sophisticated handle, designed for guarding the hand and improving maneuverability. However, Sly kept the blade short like a knife. Ichi! We agreed under the terms with the principal not to harm the students directly. Use only the blunt ends of your blade you two, I do not want this class to end in blood.

Sly kept his eye closely on the fight. Should he see any intent to kill on any of their eyes, he would have no remorse stepping in and ending it now.

He came at me again and I, stupidly, put up my arm to defend myself instead of stabbing him in the middle of the 'x.' Because of that, I felt my flesh separate on my shoulder and upper arm, also feeling a deep gash in my side. I bit my tongue, looking down with my eyes closed as I felt a force on my other shoulder, making my head snap up as I stumbled backwards into the wall, noticing the students dividing to let me crash into the wall rather than them. I licked my tongue over my lip, noticing I bit hard enough to draw blood. Even though the red liquid was steadily pouring from my side I charged at One, hoping to have his distraction of wound make it enough for me to stab right though it. I used a boost of speed to make me go faster. I didn't even hear what Loki had said; I was so focused on my opponent and getting him to submit before I had to.

One opened his mouth to respond to Loki but was interrupted by Korie who he easily dodged and kicked to the ground. He chuckled and stepped back, waiting for her to use her wits and surrender or continue to fight. He wiped his mouth with his hand and grinned. "It'll give the rest of the class an example of a REAL fight and not just some poking and prodding with a blunt stick."

Dawn dismissed the class for their second period, hastily grabbing her armour, and walking into the gym to see how 'Strawberry' was coping. When she walked through the door though, all she saw was Ichigo fighting a student. Sly was standing dangerously close to them, apparently disturbed by this too. She strode forward, closely behind Sly.
"What's going on here?" she asked, armour discarded by a wall, though her weapons were still in hand.
She flinched as the girl hit the wall, side soaked with blood. Her mouth was bleeding too. Dawn felt that she should break up the fight, but, it was not her duty to do so. Loki was second in charge here; she simply watched the two battle on, arms crossed. She glared at Ichigo, as he taunted the poor girl, glinting murderously.

I ran, hoping to ram into him when he dodged, causing me to skid on the ground, and turn around before getting kicked to the ground, falling on my back. I growled at him; there was no way I was ever going to surrender. I swung my leg to hit his calf, hopefully causing him to fall or at least stumble back while I jumped up, and sliced him against the stomach, causing a long, horizontal, deep line if it reached him. "I will not surrender." I growled, already feeling a bit lightheaded from loosing blood.

One was caught by surprise and he stumbled back a ways, however, soon regained his footing. He stood up straight and smirked, a murderous glint in his eye. "You got me that time. He tilted his head. "Kid, I'm givin' you a chance to stop this. To surrender is a smart choice considering your current state." He gripped the sword tightly in case she tried to attack him again.

I glared at him, still holding my sword out to defend against his next attack. "And why don't you surrender, then?" I held my ground, I wasn't going to surrender because I was taught to be victorious, unless it really threatened your life, on the bridge of death. I shook a memory that was coming up; it was flaring in my eyes. If he did come at me I'd either block his attack with my sword or go and stab him again.

One narrowed his eyes and studied her head to toe, a skeptical look on his face. Then he sheathed his sword and swept back his hair. He turned to Dawn. "Oh, good. You came just in time to see what happens when you play too rough." He kneeled down beside Korie and lifted her up onto her feet. "I'll take her to the infirmary..." He sighed.

I narrowed my eyes at him as he examined me, wondering if he surrendered. I watched as he sheathed his sword, a smug looking coming onto my face before disappearing as he ignored me for a second before turning back to me. He kneeled down, offering his hand and to take me to the infirmary. I twitched my nose; now, I was infuriated. I could get there myself if I needed to and I definitely didn't need his help. Still mad that he offered that, I acted before thinking, and kicked him straight in the balls. After a brief second or two, I just realized what I actually did and bit my tongue slightly, wincing before saying quietly, "Oh, fuck." I stiffened, ready to take a hit I knew he'd throw at me, not putting my arms up yet but still having them balled. The essence of fear creeped over me and I didn't like it one bit.

(I would like to say, sorry for the cursing and sorry for the display of stupidness brought to you by Keskorie <3)
((At least One gets to feel real pain >:3))

Minea (and Hisashi 'cause I'm lazy) waited for Dawn to finish talking. For awhile, she fished for her name, which seemingly caused her pain. What on earth could've happened to her in her past that even remembering her name causes her pain? She decided that it would be best to ignore it, at least for now. Once the class was done, she (and Hisashi) walked to their next class; swordplay(because not all swordplay is fencing. Fencing is a sport. It's completely different from combat). When she arrived, she saw the instructor fighting one of the students. Both of them seemed pretty beat up, but the teacher was obviously fairing better. She noticed that her teacher from her last class was watching and waiting for the fight to be over, so Minea (and Hisashi) decided to do the same.

(Short post is rushed, because I have to go to school.)

Dawn felt her grip on Shadow tighten as she saw the student lash out; a rare trait of loyalty showing. Her teammate had been hurt and, despite how much she was tempted to slap him, she wouldn't dream of doing anything like that. Swearing under her breath and nodding towards Loki, she grabbed hold of the student's wrist, her grip strong but gentle; she wouldn't want to hurt the girl any further. She dragged her to the nurse's office, keeping a deadpan all the way up to the second floor.
"I hope you realized what you've done."
She turned a corner, growling under her breath.
"You are Keskorie. The one who eavesdropped and attempted to take on at least three of our members. You have made an enemy of Dragon Storm." Her voice was low and threatening and said she would like nothing more than to kill her right then and there.
"You are fortunate to be under the protection of the... Events taking place. Once we return, however, you will be punished." The threat was spoken with a snarl.
As the door to the nurse's office opened, Dawn smiled slightly, before saying innocently, "Hi there. Unfortunately, we had a misfortunate situation in which the safe-guards fell off one of the blades, and poor little Korie here was involved with said sword."
The nurse mumbled something about how 'fencing was dangerous' before offering a sympathetic smile and letting Kes into her office.

The fighting was getting out of hand. Sly had forgotten that the bell for the second period had rang until another teacher walked into the gym. Dawn. She asked him what was going on. Without turning to look, Sly gave a sigh. Just two members of the Beyond with a massive ego to fill.

Sly had been watching the battle very closely and, with the student now down, Sly readied to throw the knife. Unexpectedly One gave his hand to her and pulled her up. Not the best of results but at least it ended.

Then the student decided to stick her foot into the place where it mattered to One. Sly clenched his teeth, feeling that mental pain. Well, at least he had one thing he wont miss once they return. Not that he really needed them, Sly thought.

Homework, Sly announced, quickly met with a few groans. Since we dont have the time, you are to write in 500 words what you learned from this spar. Be aware that this will count as part of your final assessment. Dismissed.

As the students leave, some arguing they didnt get to use the weapons they picked up, Dawn walked past Sly, muttering something about the girl being from the Beyond and making an enemy out of them. Sly snorted a little, smiling. Theres no need to punish her. I allowed the fight to happen for the benefit of the students. She had been a really good example for what students have to face here. Let alone, us. I will deal with her when the time comes.

Then they were gone. It was just Sly and One in the gym, with nothing but silence. Sly took another sigh. Nearly everyone from the Beyond were here. And he should have expected enemies would turn up as well from the other side. Well. That was first period.

You had that split second of killing intent, didn't you? Sly asked. If it were just the two of you here, would you have stuck your blade in Korie?

Yuuki dismissed her class, and just as class ended, she saw the figure of Dawn dragging another familiar-looking girl in the direction of the nurse's office. Raising an eyebrow at this, she peaked outside her classroom, and headed towards the direction from where they came from, which apparently led to the gym. She stepped inside, and was greeted by the sight of a humanized One and Sly. "What happened?" she asked. "Dawn seemed especially angry, and she was literally manhandling the girl. Was the girl Keskorie? I recognized her chakra/chi/ki/aura/soul (WHATEVER) wavelength/signal (WHATEVER AGAIN)."

Dawn trailed back down the many flights of stairs, still anxious about the thought that struck her in the first period; if she was once again to be a teacher, a leader, she had to toughen up. Little weaknesses like a simple name couldn't - no, wouldn't get to her. She fumbled with the elastic collar on her swiftsuit, feeling a sudden weight in her chest. The day she dreaded was finally coming near. She ran her hand through her bangs, nails tearing into her scalp. Her face screwed up, holding back the tears building up. She breathed in deeply, letting out a shaky exhale, the back of her hand wiping her face, before slowly pushing the door to one of the staffrooms open. Dawn nodded slightly, relieved that it was empty, making her way to the coffee machine. She grabbed her latte, bitter, and slumped into a sofa (ITS A SOFA NOT A COUCH PEOPLE), expression showing melancholy.

(Now isn't the time for a breakdown Dawn.)

One yelled in agony and fell back, taken by surprise. After a few moments he stood up stiffly and unsheathed his sword again, ready to drive it through her stomach. However, he hesitated and dropped it onto the ground. He grit his teeth, trying to restrain himself from beating the daylight out of Korie. "Hell... That hurt.." He watched as Dawn dragged Korie away to the infirmary and Sly announced that there would be homework. He hoped Dawn would come up with a good excuse for the accident. One felt a series of bewildered stares directed towards him and he bit his tongue. When the class left, he sighed deeply. He was surprised by Sly's question. "I'm still wondering why I didn't do it then."

Nexus idly watched as the sports hall began to clear out and as Dawn moved towards the gym next door. He just noticed the noises originating from that area. What was going on over there? He wondered as he saw Dawn disappear into the next room. For a moment, it sounded like fighting, but just not the type he would've expected. Probably the fencing class. This was his conclusion as he stared towards the door.

After awhile, the noises stopped, Nexus was the only one in the sports hall, and he caught the scent of... blood? It was fresh, moist, and, best of all, clean. There wasn't a chance like this in the world; his instinct was kicking in too harshly. He began to walk towards the door leading to the gym. As he pushed the door open, he saw that the ground in the gym was littered with, here and there, a large amount of red, glossy droplets. Turning his gaze upwards, he spotted a group of teachers on one side of the gym. Nexus' dead stare met with the pained face of one (haha, puns) of the fencing instructors. It seemed as if he was bleeding, but not to the extent that would litter the floor like this. He got whatever was coming to him. He thought as he saw the droplets trail off towards a doorway leading to the hallway, right by a flight of stairs. Following the trail of crimson, Nexus exited the gym and began to eagerly search out the scent. It seemed as if the droplets were not in the hallway, but the smell still lingered in the air. He started wandering towards the staircase; he was intent on finding the source, but, if he couldn't, it would simply be time to investigate another class.

Then? This confirmed it. A principal seeking the Beyond for help, and he also called for Dragon Storm's enemies. Sly wanted to go home as much as anyone else, but achieving that goal would be a challenge. It could mean One having to fight alongside Korie. And who knows? Perhaps they would depend on Korie one day.

Keskorie was here, yes, Sly answered to Yuuki when she stormed in. Aside from a few splotches of blood here and there, everything is under control. Sly then turned to One, a small smile on his face. We will have to trust each other once we leave the Beyond, even if it means siding with your enemies. If you still cannot put your hate aside for a student, do you want me to tutor her in your stead?

I still held my ground, stiff and ready to brace myself at any moment. The feeling in my gut annoyed me as I've fought before and I shouldn't feel like this; I felt like I was ready for him to come up and start beating me to death when someone grabbed my wrist. "Wa- what?" I cried out, stumbling before regaining my footing and following whoever held me. She began to speak, obviously angry. "Of course I know what I did!" I snapped at her, hearing my voice waver as a smudge of fear escalated into it. Fear was the worst feeling I knew and I hated it the most out off all of them. Curiosity and wonder came through next, as she knew exactly who I was. 'Team Dragon Storm'; that was vital information that I've heard before, so I knew it must be who they are. Punishment, that wasn't new. It would almost be interesting to see if they could do worse than what I had already had, yet death would do good if I could get out before it really happened. Anything other than that I'd have to judge. Going into the office, I narrowed my eyes, I didn't need this because I could take care of myself, but, thinking a bit more, I decided to accept the help as it would be better than suffering. I sat down and let her tend to my wounds, only showing anger, and slightly wincing when the alcohol was applied. I was just glad it got wrapped quickly and that I was able to walk out, heading to second period or anything else to get away from him before he beat the living daylights out of me. I sighed and grabbed my arm, rubbing it uncomfortably. I might have taken it too far, but, at this time, an apology might not be enough.

(Am I sensing some Kone talk in here?)
