Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

"I-in the classroom." Anya choked out, backing away from Bolt, or rather, trying to push further into Lily. He had that weird raw meat smell she'd learned not to like.
 
"Shhh... there's no such thing as monsters, sweetheart." Said Lily reassuringly, patting Anya on the back. That weird teacher better not have done anything creepy, or Lily was going to show him her stake project personally.





Bolt tried to interrogate her, but really he just ended up frightening Anya. Lily didn't know why, but she knew Anya. Lily grabbed onto her tighter and turned her away from Bolt.


"Well? This looks like a job for the disciplinary committee. I suggest you two investigate." She announced to the two wannabes. She hoped that they could at least do this.
 
-This..... was a mistake...-


"I just... well..."


Azure looked back down the hall. He's usually not this nervous at all, and is more determined, but that ghoul had really shook him up...


Kylier couldn't help but cross her arms at Azure's lack of immediate action... or maybe its just his way of trying to not be suspicious...


"I... actually have to go, but I have a few things I'd like to ask you, can you meet me in the courtyard later today? I'm really busy right now, and I will be until around sundown, so I'd like to talk to you at seven later today..."


He already ran off, trying his best not to give him a chance to say no to him. He figured that with him being as well mannered as he was, he would probably go.


-... I suppose that will do...-


Azure ran back into the room with Richter and Bunny, calmly entering, and locked the door, remembering that he originally had it locked, and saw Bunny with what seemed to be a magical ball of light in her hands... He was going to have to be careful around her...


"Alright Richter, I did it, if they actually decide on showing, they are going to be in the courtyard at seven tonight..."


He didn't question Bunny about her magic, he didn't seem overly surprised or anything, but just tried not to seem interested, as if he's seen this sort of thing before
 
"Well alright." Richter grinned. "They'll come to the courtyard, and upon seeing you alone and helpless, will be prompted to attack, as you've insulted their master. Just revealing any abilities of demonic origin will already be cause for alarm, seeing as they're listed as human."
 
"..... But... if I'm just an alone and helpless human... why would they bother revealing anything at all? Wouldn't they just kill me with just their strength alone, or even with that crossbow Riff used in class? They don't have any real reason to use any excessive force, considering everything they've done. If anything, they'd wait for me... and just kill me without even showing themselves. I can't imagine them as being reckless really..."


Azure really just didn't like this plan, they were expecting one thing to happen, but there didn't seem to be any reason for Mel, Riff, and Vash to play into his hands, it felt more like they were sacrificing Azure to them than anything... he was content with following Kylier's adaptation of Bunny's plan for the time being...
 
"That's still an attempt on your life, and that's more than enough. Just... trust in me on this." Richter said. "They will try very hard to kill you however. When he put down that ghoul, he didn't hesitate. There are only two kinds of people who would kill so easily. People like me, who have killed so many times it's lost meaning, and those stupid enough to think they're doing it for a good cause. Anyone else in the class would have at least hesitated."
 
Really? Did that really just happen? Riff stared after Azure as he ran off after giving the absolute worst attempt at trying to lure him into a trap, possibly in all of history.


"Dude, that was just sad. Even I can tell that something was wrong with that?"


"Yeah . . . " Riff continued to look in the direction Azure had gone, long after the boy had disappeared. "We should probably tell Miss Mel about this . . . No matter how stupid it is." And with that, he left with Vash in tow behind him.


~~~~~


Rose was surprised when Anya came in, obviously frightened. She frowned as she heard the neko mention a monster in her class. What was Mr. Richter doing? Monsters? Rose stayed quiet as Lily told the new committee recruits to investigate this, approving of the idea herself. And once Orion and Naval were gone, Rose approached the little neko.


"Hi Anya. It'll be okay. We won't let any monsters get you. Do you like ice cream? Or cake? I know a nice shop in Adelmar that will make you a sundae the size of your head. They make cakes that big too, but you have to wait a while for them to bake it."


~~~~~


Bunny smiled at Azure as he told them of the . . . "success" he had regarding Mel and the others. "Good job, Azure."


She frowned though, as the boy voiced his concerns and Richter commented on Riff's behavior in class. "No hesitation and hard work don't really equal, do they? It is possible that they wouldn't show everything they can do. Especially in a public place like the courtyard. Still, Azure, do you have anything that might help protect you? It'd be bad if you got hurt."
 
Even Anya had to stop sobbing for a moment at the promise of sweets. "I-ice cream?" she stammered looking at Rose. She was trustworthy, more so than some people. Not as much as Lily, but she was nice enough to have a sleepover.


-------------------


"It's unlikely they'll bring or rely on weapons; so we get an advantage. With luck, we can push them to the limit early on. But the fewer of my abilities I have to show, the better." Richter said, looking into his chest. "And as for Bane's weapon..."


He rummaged around for several long moments, humming to himself. "Oh hey. I forgot I owned this." he pulled out a handgun. "Glock 18, nine millimeter handgun. This should be easy enough for you to handle. It probably won't stop them on its own, but... better than nothing.
 
Bolt raised an eyebrow as the situation with Anya evolved further. It was fair she had an apparent distrust of him, he was new after all. He didn't blame her for it. Sliding his hands in his pockets, he chuckled a little as Rose grasped the situation easily with the mention of cake and ice cream. It seemed she knew what to say in a delicate situation like this as well. Was there anything she wouldn't be prepared for?


"... Should one of us go along too? If it was enough to scare someone who's used to this place, it might be worth it to have more people. Safety in numbers and all that." He suggested, stepping back from Lily, Anya and Rose, and towards the door.
 
"Well... I got something that should get me out of any pinch I'm in... and really covers any thing I might need in terms of offense, defense, support..... you name it"


Having the Shadow Edge makes it quite an interesting utility tool, since everyone has a lot of different sort of magic, Azure can access it at any time. After the magic has settled into Azure for a long while, it then is slowly filtered into the weapon, resulting in all the magic he has absorbed thus far, to be with him without the pain. Granted, it is still a finite amount, but... Kylier did say she was working on factoring out that problem... but until then, he had to be scarce about what he uses. At the very least though, his weapon does allow him to convert any other magic into his weapon's own magical offense, so he shouldn't be without any sort of magical fighting ability as long as Kylier is near...
 
Rose looked at Bolt. "Well, I don't know, Bolt. I mean, if a 10 year old girl could get away unscathed, the threat might've been dealt with. But if you want, you can go with them. We'll get through the paperwork tomorrow." To be honest, she was a bit unnerved as well at this talk of monsters but she did believe it was over now. Not that she didn't believe Anya's story but that she trusted that Mr. Richter would've not wanted to endanger his students for real. Whatever it was, he must've dealt with it.


She then turned to Anya, nodding with a big smile. "Yep. It's called Sweetie Belle's. I know the owner there, and she's real nice. She gives little jingle bells to customers she really likes. Like this one." Rose pulled out her school master key. Hanging from the key ring was a small golden bell on a short thin chain. "Customers with bells get specially made chocolates on Valentine's Day. I got one because I've been going there since I was a kid, but I'm sure a nice girl like you will get one in no time. That is, if you want one."


"Would you like to go?"


~~~~~


Bunny didn't really like Richter handing Azure a gun and assuming everything would be alright with it. "It's pretty reckless to hand someone a gun without knowing if they can even fire one, you know."


But then Azure told them that he was okay. That he had something up his sleeve that he could use. She wasn't sure what to think of that. Would it be enough? What was it? She wanted to ask them but more questions might not have the desired effect. "O-okay then. I guess if you're sure."


"So . . . what do we do until then?"
 
Anya wiped her face with her sleeve. "Can Lily come too?" she asked, grabbing the alraune's hand.


------------------------


"Well, if that's how you feel." Richter spun the gun, then tossed it back in the trunk. "I guess all we can do now is wait for tonight. The real question is how much and what combat gear I should bring."
 
"I actually have nothing to do... now that I think about it..."


Azure's activities usual revolved around being manipulated or avoid being manipulated, but Kylier is more or less relying on Azure at the moment, and completely left him to his own devices until he needs to act. For once, he doesn't really need to do anything at all. He did remember that Skyia wanted his failure of a spear, its not like he can use it properly in combat anyway. What he would have wanted to do was to carve out the stake to make it more spear like, maybe give it a harpoon style edge... but decided that it's probably best to just give it to her as is... but he had no idea where to find her, she just sorta stumbled upon his room...


"I might just try to fix my door... some thief broke into my room before you came to get my yesterday Bunny, but... short story short, I get him out with all of my possessions still with me..."





He wasn't to sure how much gear was on Richter, given everything he seemed to have. He wasn't sure what he would define as little, or a lot...
 
Lily was surprised that Rose got Anya to calm down so quickly, and that she was so good with children. Lily couldn't keep herself from smiling at the two- a real smile this time.


Lily could backstab people who were nice to her. As a matter of fact, it just made the whole backstabbing process easier. They trust you, you betray them, it happens every day. But Rose was being kind to Anya- treating her as well as Lily would. Lily could backstab someone who was nice to her with no problem, but she could never be so cruel to anybody who treated her friend so well.


Lily would have to repay Rose's kindness by ousting her as painlessly as possible.


That said, she was handling the situation remarkably well and was perhaps less incompetent than Lily had wanted to believe. Lily didn't think that the disciplinarians would need assistance, but she wouldn't discourage Bolt from checking things out if he so chose.


As Anya asked if Lily could come to the dessert shop as well, she couldn't help but feel something warm growing inside her. She would have to check that out later, because it could not be good. Lily looked from Anya to Rose.


"I mean... I wouldn't mind..." Said Lily, her cheeks beginning to glow once again.


Of course there was going to be a lot of work tomorrow, but she would just have to work extra hard.
 
"I guess I'm going to head to my room for the time being now... I'll come on by back here when I'm done with that..."


Azure went over to the door, with his hand on the handle ready to go, but first turned to Richter to answer his question before he left


"Well... if you ask me, you should store as much as you can on you without your gear becoming a hindrance. I don't know if that really answered your question, but that helps right?"


Azure opened the door, but wondered something since Bunny seemed sorta unsure of herself about what to do, and turned toward to her.


"If you really don't have anything to do until seven, I could use a hand fixing my door, that should probably be a good way to help kill time..."

Victor and Jayus were long gone from the classroom, actually heading over to the library, see if there is a good book to read since they didn't have much going on in terms work.


( I was going to post more, but now... But not anymore. I'll see what I can post tomorrow. ) 
Skyia L Riis slithered quickly over to Richter's classroom, she hoped she wouldn't be too late for Azure to present his project, she wanted to try to support him in any way she could. So off she slithered, running as best a lamia could with a single limb moving along the ground.


Turning the corner she noticed the door to the classroom opening, so she slithered over to the open door and look inside. " Hello?- Oh, hey azure, umm... Did, did class just end? " She said looking onto the classroom and noticing the lack of students inside.

"Oh?"


Azure looked over to see Skyia there, he didn't really expect her coming anywhere, but at least that saves the trouble of looking for her to give her the weapon


"Ya, class was over for a little while, I was just... gathering my stuff before going back to my room and thinking over a few things. Did you come for the Spear?"


Azure took out the retracted weapon off of his side, showing to her mostly that he had it on him
 
" Oh... Well i was hoping to come by before you had to use your project. but i guess i'm too late... " She looked at the spear for a bit. She saw that the end was still a normal steak. " You never were able to ask if you could make it more into a spear? The steak still looks like it hadn't changed at least a little. Not that there's anything wrong with that i mean, just thinking out loud, that's all... "


She slithered back a bit so he could pass through if he wanted. " Do you still need it? Or were you going to keep it after all? I remember what you said, but, just, after yesterday with what i might have been pushing... " She stoped there with a slight pause before speaking again.


" Never mind, you were heading back to your room? Do you need help with anything? Im not really doing anything right now, we didn't get homework in our class. "
 
"Well... ya, I never got the chance, I wasn't sure if I had to use the stake or not, so I left it as is..."


-Although I probably should have changed it regardless...-


"Actually, I can change it back up in my room, I think I have something a little odd that could work to replace the stake..."


-Now that I think about it, carving the stake out to make it more spear like wouldn't really help, since its made out of wood-


He disregarded what Skyia was talking about yesterday... he really didn't want to bring that topic back up, especially in front of others...


"I was actually going to go back to my room, I need something to keep me busy for the time being, and I'd like to fix my door so I guess you can help with that."
 
John whistled as he arrived at the large academy. He looked at the sheet of paper and walked inside, looking for anyone to help him find his room.
 
"Of course she can, Anya," Rose said, smiling and petting the neko's head. "You can invite anyone you wish. It'll be my treat."


This was good. Anya seemed calm and there was that added bonus of not having to deal with the papers for a while. Two birds with one stone. Well, Rose was also craving something sweet as well, so three birds really. "Well, we can leave whenever you guys want. I can call a taxi or we could get my car sent here from the castle. It's not much, but it'll get us there fairly quick."


~~~~~


"I'm not that good with those sorts of handyman things, so I might have to pass." Bunny looked down, scratching the back of her head. She didn't exactly have any real preparation to do for this fight, not having much gear of the sort. "I guess I could go wander the halls for a bit. Get a good last look at everything. After this job is done, I don't really have any reason to stay here." She gave a nervous looking smile.


She then walked out the classroom as the lamia she had seen last night slithered in. She wondered how she would spend her time until 7. She supposed she'd go talk to Shift or something. The man was nice to her and if she was leaving soon, spending some time with him might not be too bad.
 
" Should i bring anything? " She asked questioningly with her green eyes faced at azure. " Or do you have some tools over there? "


( Short post is short, sorry about that. )
 
"Well... I got everything I need to at least try to see if I can fix it..."


-... but hopefully its not actually broken, hopefully its just a bullet that's lodged in something, making it stuck...-


"Don't worry, I always have some sort of tool kit for making what I need most of the time... though its not to advanced... so hopefully its just a simple thing"


Azure has always been about creating what he needs for his situations. Having your back against the wall is one of the worst situations ever, and if you ever get to that point, that the time to unleash all you got, as unpractical as it may be... its just a shame that most of the time, Kylier is above practicality when it comes to fighting Azure...


"If I can't really fix it, I'd probably have to ask Rose... I don't have anything to replace the door knob's locking system or handle"


Azure may have a lot of things to call for a lot of situations, but even Azure would be hard pressed to have something to do a VERY specific job...


"Hopefully there won't be any problem though, if I'm lucky"


He began heading off toward his room with Skyia
 
"Aw. And I was looking forward to having some proper help around here for once." Richter said. "If you decide you'd rather take up the very.... 'rewarding' position of teaching, I'll be right here for a while yet."


As she walked out, Richter opened his trunk. He'd need to consider what arms to bring. It was probably best to just break out some of the heavier stuff, and plan a strong frontal assault.


-----------------


"Let's go!" Anya said, cheery once more, so much so, all else was blocked out by her intense ice cream-induced tunnel vision. "It's time fo- castle?"


She looked at her hands for a moment, then back to Rose. "You have a castle?!"
 
John would walk along the corridor sighing. Thinking to himself how the place was way too large. He came across a room that said Student Council on it. John knocked politely at the door.


"Hello? This is the student council room? I was wondering if there was anyone who could show me around"





John sighed as he did so. He could tell he would get lost frequently in this place.
