Fantasy Element Academy

[Taelonthesands]

In the combat room Marissa knelt on the ground surrounded by pieces of ripped up battle dummies. She wore her hair in a tight French braid down the back, no a single piece out of line. her outfit, a simple short sleeved black crop top, some dark yellow sweatpants, and back hi-top sneakers. She also held a jeweled hilt in her hand, which she soon tucked back into her pants pocket. Finally she stood, taking a deep breath before wiping the sweat off of her browl.


After her last final Marissa had gone to the combat room to let off some steam. Her last final, though moderately challenging to most, made her feel like she hadn't gone to the class at all. Worried that she might of failed, Marissa grew frustrated with herself causing her to get worked up. Now that she had let her frustration out, Marissa was finally feeling the sense of ease of not having another final to take. With that thought in her mind, Marissa decided to celebrate by going another round with the training dummies. Pulling out her weapon, her steal whip, Marissa let the coolness of the steel engulf her hand before she set up her next 'opponent'.

"Ok, let's race" Ivan replied. "Where's the finish line?" He moved the water under his feet and let it hold his weight. He had an easier time with this than Kuroha, but not as easy as say a geomancer. No surprise there, really.

Jampo Haneul
​

Jampo was about to comment on being prank worthy when he seemed to slow flip away. She stood there watching. The look in her face made her seem like she was about to pout. Yet instead she let out a little squeal, bringing her hands to her blushing cheeks. "Gyahhhh! President Kuroha is so coooool!" The air around her seemed to flutter in her excitement as well.


The tiny girl then widden her stance, put her hands in fist. "Alright Po! You'll be just as cool as him one day!" She gave her self and encouraging word. Once again she took a large breath, blowing it out with three times the strength towards the ground. Her light body launched into the air, flipping before using a burst of air to land softly on the beaches sand. "Oh a race! I know I know! How about the first one to make it up the cliffs win? And you guys can start in the meadow where the blue wildflowers grow~" she suggested. She knew they probably wouldn't go that course, but she still wanted to try it. "That's about a good two miles." She decided to deepen her suggested. To make things even more fun she decided to place a bet. "Actually. If President Kuroha looses I'll buy ice cream for everyone~" She smiled, tilting her head as her blue hair fell to the side. If one could tell she Idolized the other Aeromancer and honestly believed he would win.

As Niou came up out of the water and brushed her soaking hair away from her eyes, she glanced over at the little bit of commotion taking place nearby. Probably just some kids celebrating after finals, she thought. To be honest, she wasn't too worried about the grade she could have made. She tried, she was confident she did well, so why worry? Besides, it wasn't like she could change her grade if she did fail, so why waste the energy thinking about it? The girl shook her head to snap herself out of her thoughts and she eyed the lot curiously as they seemed to prepare for some kind of race, but she made no effort to swim over to them.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"The finish line is-" Kuroha was cut off by the girl from before approaching them, giving them a nice little goal and starting point. "Sound like a good run" Kuroha stated, seeming to have taken a calmer tone, as well as even his whole body relaxing down to the tiniest cell. Slowly, he floated on from the water over to land, feet slowly reaching down to the ground before the high air pressure below him exploded outward, creating winds strong enough to throw people off balance, but not really send them flying or anything like that. "Alright Ivan, hope you're ready for a bit of a run." Kuroha said, a smirk still on his face since the whole prank bit of Jampo's.

Ivan took note of the racing area as he calmly walked towards the starting area. Racing wasn't his forte and his chances of winning against an aeromancer were even lower. in combat he wasn't known for being the strongest or fastest, or even the most accurate. He was known for undermining and predicting his enemies movements. The only reason he held the record for the Gauntlet Run was because he recognized the patterns. It was right near the end of the weak and the course would soon change. He had spent much of his free time watching people run the course and from that he learned what the best approach to certain obsticals and what triggered certain events. When he ran it he followed everything he knew and even tried different tactics he hadn't seen to optimize his time. At one point a canon ball was shot at ground level, making you jump over it, and it then followed the flow of the ramp having it turn around and make you dodge it a bit higher. He had managed to use the canon ball to propel his momentum forward and even skip the next obsticle. Everything he does is governed by logic and this race was no exception.


Ivan decided what rout he was going to take. It was his best shot, but still risky. "First to tough the cliffs win." He got into position and glanced at Jampo and then back at the course. "Hey Po, would you mind counting us off?"

Lira although reading her book all this while, had been listening to what was going on among the other students and at the mention of the word race she smiled. This ought to be fun to watch she thought. As it was a warm day she pulled off the oversized jumper which left her in her tshirt and gave her somthing other than sand to set her book on.


Kira cast her attention to her fellow students and got to her feet, though she did cast a sideways glance at the excitment of the girl calling the races destination and she laughed softy. "Well someone has a clear winner in mind " she teased. Kira crossed her arms over her chest and decided to watch the race..it would be interesting to see who actually won.

 

[NightCasterZ]

Liz walked through the school nervously. As she entered the doors, all eyes were turned to her and her unique clothing. Liz could sense all the disgust they were feeling and stumbled slowly away, people laughing as she did so. All Liz wanted was a friend...

 

[nvsc123]

Ortwin appeared right beside the others. "Hmmm, you guys are going to race?" He shook his head. "Without me?" He wrapped an arm around Horuka. "You can't get rid of me, you know." He had seen them come here to the racing area. It was one of his favorite places to go to. Besides, he came here because his friends were here. He had two reasons to come here, now.


Well, he had three. The other is finishing the finals. He was happy to be free for once from all of those burdens. Training and studying - those were making him exhausted.

Niou swam towards the shore of the lake and she climbed her way out, twisting her body to sit down once she made it onto dry land. She was facing the impending race from with a curious eye, one leg stretched out while the other was bent with her knee up and her arm resting on it.


"Hm..." she hummed softly to herself as she eyed the group, deciding thatif they didn't hurry up and give her a good show soon she may as well climb back up the cliff and jump off again. It'd be more entertaining than watching them stand around.

 

[NightCasterZ]

Liz walked around and saw some other students who were just as cruel as the rest. Eventually she came across a gang of girls who started beating her up. "H-help..." Liz whispered as she beaten up. (Please help Liz!)

​

Po clapped eagerly when the boy decided to to her route. She felt as though she was in a dream being the race master of the president and the house leader for the hyrdromancers. She then heard the other girl speak, looking over to see her reading. "Well of course! He is President Kuroha for a reason! Plus, he's an aeromancer~" she explained her reasoning, placing a hand on her hip and winking with a tongue sticking out at the girl.


Po then focuses back at the group, noticing a new addition. "Oh! A new racer! That's fantastic!" She squealed, laughing happily. The girl then moved into position, standing in between the boy. She took a firm stance, setting a determined look on her face. "Ready?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "3...!" She grinned, looking at each racer. "2...!" She lifted her arm up in the air. "1!!" She then sliced her arm downward, creating the air to split in between two of the boys and signaling for the race to begin.

Gigi finished her 55 books for the day in all of a hour and 45 minutes, a new record. Soon she would have to find a new library. She hopped down to the ground and returned to visibility. She fixed her hair and placed the books on a cart. Making her way out of the library she made her way down the halls trying to get back to the Lake. She was thoroughly lost but came across a few girls shouting and a whisper for help.


Gigi ran over to the sounds and saw a odf sight. There was a girl getting beat up by a group of girls. What is going on? "Hey!" The group of girls scattered and Gigi went to the injured girl. "Are you alright?


@NightCasterZ

 

[Moony]

As Kaia searched for her friends, slowly making her way around the grounds she saw a group of girls, beating on someone huddled on the ground.


Her temper almost immediately flared, and there was no way she'd just sit by and watch. "Hey!" She shouted sharply, purple eyes blazing as she sped up her pace to make her way over, only to notice an auburn haired girl beat her there, and the girls scattered. Finally she stopped next to the other two girls, still looking very angry, though it seemed she was trying to calm herself down before she did something reckless.


Her eyes filled with concern as she looked at Liz. "Are you hurt?" She questioned, before glancing over to Gigi, relief flooding her chest as she realized it was her friend who'd made it to the girl before she. "Should we take her to the infirmiry? Or tell someone about this? This is insane. To think they'd gang up on someone! This is not what the Academy is about!" Kaia could feel herself getting angry again, and took a deep breath, trying to calm down once again.


@The Suspicious Eye @NightCasterZ

 

[NightCasterZ]

Liz turned to him slowly, bidding slightly. "Th-thanks..." She muttered quietly as her loincloth like clothing was ripped, revealing quite a bit. She quickly summoned up some plants which restored it back to how it was and used a few vines to support herself. "Thank you..." Liz repeated, still battered and bruised all over her body.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

Gigi looked at Kaia and nodded, "I'm on the student council and I know those girls they won't get away with what they did. They will be punished thoroughly." She smiled at the Liz and put a hand on her shoulder, "you aren't injured anywhere are you?" Gigi, as a light user, has the ability to heal injuries.

Having taken position, Kuroha awaited the beginning of the race, though it soon came with Kuroha simply standing there a second before floating up into that meditation-like position from before. Gone- All of a sudden, Kuroha was just gone. He basically dropped all he had into that one "teleport," about halfway there and really with only enough left to run the rest of the way and then perhaps jump up, maybe even tired enough to be forced to climb. His legs definitely didn't fail him though, as having such an advantage would be pointless if he didn't go with it. He was running about sixty miles an hour, by far the fastest he could run right now on low energy, and thus draining him quite a bit by itself. Still, maintaining this for just a minute would get him to the finish line, assuming it didn't take him too long to get up the cliff. Then again, he didn't even remember whether it was the top of the cliff or just reaching it, so he might still be entirely fine so long as a certain somebody didn't catch up should Kuroha need to take a breather.

[NightCasterZ]

Liz nodded. "But I'll be alright..." She looked down at herself. "Just because of who I am and what I where, this happens everywhere I go..."

 

[Tsiwentiio]

Adena started walking around again kinda just in her own little word, she noticed a few people racing, and some people were talking, and others she really wasn't sure exactly, a group of girls started running towards her, but it seemed that once they noticed it was her they got scared and ran the other way. This really had no effect on Adena, most people were afraid of her, just her appearance was intimidating let alone the fact she could control fire. she was one of the few people that could control fire, because of this she kinda kept to herself.

 

[Shog]

Ivan noted the new guy (Ortwin?) join the race. He just shrugged his shoulders. Others could join, he didn't care. For him, however, this was between him and Kuroha. When the air passed between the two, he was grateful for his current position. Kuroha was well ahead of him, but he knew he had to be running low on fumes after a stunt like that. Ivan himself ran at top speed straight towards the lake. It was a bit out of the way, but if his calculations were correct he should be fast enough in the water to give himself a chance. When he reached the waters edge he sped up as the water pulled him forward. He was now rocketing towards the cliff at insane speeds. Looking up on top of the cliff he almost completely forgot about the race. He touched the cliff wall and rocketed up towards the top.


When he landed he found a second year umbramancer being picked on by a group of fourth and fifth year ferramancers. Almost without thinking the water surged around ivan as he approached the group. "I thought I told you three to never do this to anyone again. Did you think I would stop if you moved to a different element?!" Jets of water shot out from behind Ivan ind into each of the now terrified bullies. he froze them to the rocks and went to comfort the Umbramancer. He felt the familiar burning sensation on his back but ignored it.


(I don't care if I won or not)

 

[Moony]

"They better be glad it was you to get here first..." She grumbled, eyes flickering around as if one of them would come back. She felt a bit dim for asking about the infirmiry, forgetting that Gigi was, in fact, a light user and not everyone was elementally impaired like she was.


At Liz's words her eyebrows furrowed. "Hey, what year are you?" She questioned, albeit maybe a bit too harshly, though she didn't mean to. Although she was small and innocent looking, Kaia was especially hot-headed.


@The Suspicious Eye @NightCasterZ

 

[NightCasterZ]

"I-it's my first year..." She said.

 

[Taelonthesands]

Marissa stood a few feet away from the training dummy, swinging her metallic whip in a clockwise motion from her side. The sound of the whip as it cut through the air resonated throughout the room. Then with a quick upwards diagonal motion of the arm, Marissa's whip lashed at the dummy's chest creating a long slit where the whip landed. returning to her beginning whip rotation, Marissa swung the whip around her head before bringing the whip down causing another deep cut in the torso of the dummy. She then finished off her sequence swinging her whip horizontally in the effort for it to wrap around the waist of the dummy. Missing the first time by just a hair, Marissa swung again lunging forwards to help the momentum of the strike. With this she was successfully able to lodge the steel tip of her whip into the side of the dummy, a single loop of the metal wrapping around its waist. At the last moment Marissa used her other hand to grab the hilt in her pocket. With a tight grip on the hilt, Marissa channeled electric energy into the weapon. In a flash, a bright static line emerged from the flat top of the hilt. Like it was an extension to her arm, Marissa sent a crackling whip at the dummy hitting it straight on. Marissa smiled as she saw the burn marks on the dummy, satisfied with her effort.


Marissa was about to continue on training, until she heard a lot of commotion coming from the halls. Curious as to what was going on Marissa put both of her weapons in her pant pockets. She then grabbed her headphones and music from a nearby bench before leaving the combat room. After walking down one of the corridors Marissa was greeted with a group of girls, some she knew and others not so much. What she did notice though was one of the girls looked like they had the living daylight a slapped out of them. Marissa approached the group and asked "Hey is everything alright here?"

[The Suspicious Eye]

Looking at Kaia cautioisly she nodded. She was glad that she was the first to arrive, the last thing the situation needed was more fighting. Gigi was always impressed with Kaia's strength. But she was glad that it wouldn't have to come to fighting.


Gigi shook her head at Liz, as she said this always happened."Nonsense! No one should be teated like that no matter what! First year or not! Don't take this lying down! How often has this happened?!"

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Kuroha sat there atop the cliff, though more like a foot on the top and the rest of him just dangling over the edge in some sort of monk pose crossed with a ninja pose. He was off to the side though, so seeing him probably wouldn't be the first thing to happen. However, he had managed to win by mere seconds, although at the expense of everything but his ability to stand starting in three... two... and, he began falling down. Falling, falling, and falling. Time seemed to be going fairly slow for him, though he knew he'd hit the ground eventually. It didn't bother him though, as he could catch himself if he really tried, albeit probably more taxing such as leaving his legs a bit useless for a while. Falling, falling, and he just let it happen.
