Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

[CSA]

Lily took the papers, confused. She had no idea what Richter was talking about. Bunny was a nice, sweet little angel that gave Lily hope. Hope that, even after thousands of years, a girl could somehow go uncorrupted by this filthy, disgusting heap of refuse and inequity. Hope that Anya wouldn't have to abandon the world she saw with her pure, innocent eyes just yet. Hope that-


"Oh. Oh God."





Lily trembled as she looked everything over. This was wrong. It had to be wrong, right? But it wasn't. Or it didn't seem to be.


Then Richter got close and put her deepest thoughts and fears into words.


"Sh-she saw Anya and I... and we got all d-dressed up... and sh-she was..."


Lily began trembling even more.


"Sh-she did bad things to Anya with her eyes!"


What Lily thought was a cute little maid costume for a group of friends to admire was probably just the sort of thing that brought 'enjoyment' to someone like this. While Lily looked upon her friend with genuine affection, Bunny was probably thinking all sorts of bad things that whole time.


Lily felt sick.

Espinosa blinked at the Lamia, "Well do you know Rose's last name? It would be helpful in looking for them. And there is nothing wrong with getting lost, it happens to all of now and then." Espinosa paused for a moment, "Do you have any idea whether or not Rose would be in either an elective or core class? That'd help narrow it down immediately." Espinosa tapped the left side of her temple in thought.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"There, there." Richter tried to calm his student. "You know what, the fact that she didn't bring this up means she's probably self conscious about it. And that's why we're going. To tease her."


"Besides," he continued. "Sure she was thinking it, but she didn't... you know, actually try anything, did she? An over-affectionate hug? Slip anything into Miss Hawthorne's drink?"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

" Er... " Skyia didn't actually know her last name, huh, well she guessed everyone liked to call her by her nickname more.


" Shes, the president of the student council if that can help to find her. " She answered trying to narrow down the teachers search. " I really don't know what classes she would be taking... " She said, looking up at the teacher hoping she could give a answer to where she was.

Mr. Khan waited by the black board, waiting for students to pour in. As they walked through the door, Mr. Khan took roll, marking the students' names down. As always, he wore a white button-up shirt, the top button left undone. He had a pair of long khaki pants and black loafers. In his hands were a clip board with a role sheet containing the names of all his students and a pen. His desk was messy with a black briefcase in it.


"Good morning class" the teacher said with gusto. "Today we're going to talk about..." Mr. Khan walked over to the black board and picked up a piece of chalk. With audibly hard strokes, the teacher wrote in capital letters "WRASSLIN", underlined twice. "Thousands of years ago, there existed an ancient culture known as Greece. Within the culture, existed city-states, each boasting their own army. Though with varying policies between city-states, it was common practice that warriors had to purchase their own equipment. Without money, however, many soldiers turned to a martial art known as Pancrase- meaning "all powers". That is, they would literally use their own bodies as weapons. Any questions?"

 

[Advent Azure]

Kylier walking in with an answer fully prepared for Khan, hearing his boast from just outside his room


"Yes, I have one. How pleasing is it to see a student of this size partaking in your class?"


She motioned to Curtis, who she assumed was following behind her

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Does this mean we're going to learn more about Greece?" Anya asked. "My papa said Greece is full of fruit. I think he meant oranges."


"But why would they put an orange in a dress..." she pondered. "Or are we learning more about wrestling? What about their crazy costumes?"

 

[MechaGhoul]

Espinosa snapped her fingers when Skyia told her she was looking for the student council president. "Oh! You should have said that earlier, yeah she should be in Khan's class right now." Espinosa paused for a moment before waving at Skyie, "I hope that helps, anyway I've got to get to my own classroom now." And with that she headed over to her classroom.

 

[Duwang]

The teacher turned his head to Kylier, and pointed at him to ask before turning his attention to Curtis. Curtis was indeed a big guy. Mr. Khan crossed his arms and nodded, then reached a hand to his neck to scratch. "Martial skill and size aren't directly related." Mr. Khan answered with a dull town "even the strongest person..." he looked up towards Kylier "strength is only a measure for the amount of force one can exert. However, without any know-how, what would you do with that strength? You could be taken down easily by someone leagues smarter than you. Next question- you."


"Oranges are a fruit. Good for you too- lots of vitamin C. Next question?"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Skyia waved to the teacher. " Thank you! " she said before she started slithering on her own. She wondered if that was her teacher for the day, who knows? Well in the meantime, time to find Khans class.


So off she slithered again, looking around for the classroom. Though, she might need to wait outside for her. Well she can wait at least.


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


Victor looked around the room as class stared, taking some notes down for the class today, paying idle mind to whats going on around him, while they go do their own things.


So he just took out the lens he always carried around and just started to mess around with it on his desk, looking through it a bit waiting for something else to scribble onto his notebook.

 

[CSA]

Lily tried to calm down, and she thought back to their time together.


"Did anything like that happen...?"





"Well, we didn't really have drinks... but there was a hug," stated Lily, a bit alarmed, "And come to think of it, it was pretty affectionate! Wait. I was the affectionate one in that embrace."


Lily thought a little more.


"Well, she didn't do anything... but you're right. She probably is self-conscious and we need to tease her about it."


Then, depending on how it went, Lily would probably spread the word around school. That would send half of Bunny's fanclub back to the gardening club, and the other half right to Bunny's door. Probably with presents.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"That's the spirit!" Richter agreed. "What's life without a little schadenfreude?"


----------


"I have another question!" Anya exclaimed, raising her hand. "Are oranges named after their color, or is the color named after oranges? Does anyone else have a sudden craving for oranges?"

 

[PicaPirate]

Lerrus walked into the classroom with Mr. Khan teaching. His attire was unchanged, still with a top button undone and the sleeves rolled up with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His stance was tall but relaxed.


His tone was gentle and slightly cynical, but of an almost seductive manner. It was how he generally spoke.


The teacher spoke while he stood like a lemon waiting for him to finish. He sighed as he waited.


"I have one. You got it nearly right, its Pankration. Greeks were the only period of history that interested me because their gods were flawed and very sexual in nature."


He let a pause for effect.


"I'm Lerrus Reinhard. The new guy. The one who people seem to be desperate to keep basically locked in this school. Then again, I can see the reasoning behind it..."


He rambled slightly, but caught himself.


"Excuse me, I'm getting ahead of myself. Pleasure to become of your acquaintance Mr. Khan." He bowed slightly with this statement.


He waited for them to respond so that he could sit down and continue with the lesson.

 

[Duwang]

Mr. Khan sighed, then turned to the chalk board, drawing a man in a crouched over position. "This is the basic wrestling stance. Low with the legs spread apart. In a fight between wrestlers, this is the best stance you can take." he said, ignoring the other person's remark. He walked over to his desk and marked something down with his pen, turning to Lerrus, then Anya before looking back down to his desk.


Not long after, Mr. Khan turned his attention back to the chalk board. "You see, the wide stance ensures it's more difficult to pick you up, especially for a double leg take down. The lower you are, the more stable you are. It's also much easier to kick out into a sprawl if the opponent does lunge out at you. The stance is more trivial against non-wrestlers."


The teacher reached over to his brief case, unhinging it and flipping it open, revealing to piles of papers and holding them out. "Alright, two people come up and grab the papers. Then I want you to take one, split the pile, then pass each pile to another person. Each person recieving a pile will do the same until everybody has a worksheet. If there are extras, somebody come to the front and ask if anybody needs one, then pass one to them. If nobody needs one, give the extras to me."

 

[Parsnip]

Curtis took a seat at the back of the class, face blank with nervousness. He held on to his desk, his white-knuckle grip leaving deep dents and cracks in the material.


Oh god, I barely know any of these people. Why is this girl talking about me like that? Oh god what do I do what do I dooooooo


The teacher began talking as Curtis fished out his tape recorder, setting it on his desk.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Okay~!" Anya cheered, taking a pile of papers. She wondered what the material would be as she passed off the stacks. It was probably more wrestling stuff.


Anya surveyed the room, and suddenly hoped they wouldn't have to wrestle each other. She'd never make it out alive.

 

[Duwang]

The worksheets were plain and simple, featuring two sides worth of questions, two lines under each question so that the students had room to answer. The top right corner of the worksheet featured "Name, Date, and Period" each directly under the other in that order. The questions varied with worksheets, but typically asked what the students would do in certain combat scenarios. An note at the top of the page denoted that the questions assume that the student is unarmed and is incapable of using the environment in any way.


"Everybody got one?" Mr. Khan asked, picking up the extras. "You guys have half an hour. It shouldn't take too long to finish. I want you guys to seriously think though. This is to give me a good idea of what kind of fighters you guys are so that it's easier for me to teach you."

 

[Advent Azure]

"... how vulgar-selective..."


Although she didn't speak at him, she was sure he would know it was about him. After speaking down at the lewd favoring boy. She took a seat and began working on her worksheet.


-I suppose the use of magic is out of the question, not that I would like to unveil to all what my magic is...-


She wrote down a course of actions that she would take, after filling in the Name, Date, and Period


1) Provoke/Lure the enemy to strike first


2) Counter the hostile with superior speed and technique


3) Ensnare the enemy into a helpless position in which I can force the aggressor to submit


-I can imagine more... and considering the sort of teacher this man seems to be he'd probably have pages of memories instructions. I'd rather keep it simple, and at least let him know that I am not some sort of inexperienced person. Hopefully this will suffice-

 

[ComradeSenpai]

Anya stared blankly at the worksheet


"If Assailant A lunges from forward with a crowbar while Assailant B attacks from left with arm bar grapple, what is your method of defense?"


She thought carefully. She couldn't just power her way through a problem like this. She didn't have super strength, like a vampire or something. She was a young girl, not some well trained ex-assassin turned mercenary turned high school student, like in the Chinese cartoons she watched with Lily. She wrote down 'Hope Papa saves me.' in the answer area. In fact, she put similar answers for every question.

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Victor took his page and took a glance at it. Unarmed, that would mean away from Jayus too, without his firearms, wait why was he even in this class again? Oh, right, Jayus egged him to do a unarmed close combat class.


Well, he filled out the general proper info and started down how he would combat these scenarios.


The general method to his fighting style would be to evade as long as possible. Wear down their stamina, strike when they start slipping up at points on the body that would start to wear down the target even more, get them into a position where they couldn't fight back due to exhaustion, and a good hold until more can be done, or if they submit.


---


Skyia finally found the classroom, as they were taking a test, it, might be rude to just burst in like this. So she just waited outside, next to the giant guy in armor. Or was it just a suit of armor? It wasn't moving, oh well, she would wait in the meantime.

 

[Parsnip]

Curtis fished out a pen, gripping it clumsily with his boxing gloves. He read the first question through a couple times, thought for a moment, and wrote PUNCH HIM. The rest of the lines had, unsurprisingly, quite similar responses, in what Curtis hoped was more-or-less legible handwriting.


He moved the tape recorder to the windowsill, within easy reach for note-taking, and waited for class to continue.

 

[PicaPirate]

Lerrus thought for a moment after he filled the relevant details at the top. After satisfied he began writing in neat cursive his answers. For a dashing gentleman to have neat handwriting was a requirement after all.


Most of them were typical scenarios, countering from shirt grabs, multiple attackers and the like. He remembered past times where people tried to attack him. He didn't like fighting by any means, it was uncouth. However he would do it if need be. He blessed his Krav Maga training and going for blackbelt with it.


Example answers were.

1. Provoke Assailant A into swinging wildly and adjust position so that they hit Assailant B. Then use the opportunity to place the man from the arm bar into a standing leglock and deal with them. After that, go for Assailant A while they are dazed from hitting their comrade and take them out with a sweeping leg and then a stomp. Deal with both bodies as seen fit.
   
2. Extend arm upward to block their hook punch, then use the other arm to wrap their neck and place them from there into a Guillotine choke. Choke opponent from position by extending the brought together legs.
   
3. Grab Guard A from behind with a sleeper hold, ensuring they make no sound. While the hold is held, drag their body away. If Guard B has not noticed, deal with them in a similar manner. If they have, use Guard A as a meatshield against their retaliation by throwing Guard A at them. Dispose of them as seen fit.
   

 

[Parsnip]

Curtis loomed over Lerrus- not on purpose, of course, but it was hard not to. He read over Lerrus' answers as the class continued writing. Complicated stuff, looked like. Much moreso than Uncle Bill had taught Curtis, at least.


"What's a guillotine hold?", he whispered.

 

[PicaPirate]

Lerrus gestured with his hands a guillotine hold/choke, emphasising how squeezing out the legs would choke them. ((Shown in picture how its done))


It was a crude attempt doing it with hands, but hopefully the message carried across. When he had done demonstrating on a minor scale, he went back to correcting and finishing a few answers. He was happy he worked with a martial art forged on the field of battle, or as some called it, 'real life situations'.


Well, real as you can get assuming magic doesn't come along and cause a great big mess.


When he had done, Lerrus leaned back on his chair and relaxed.

 

[Parsnip]

The guy put his hand over his hip and stomach and made sort of a strange scissoring motion with his legs in response. Was- was this guy coming on to him? Curtis wasn't really sure that was about, but he didn't really want to push the issue either. He wrung his hands as he waited for Mr. Khan.
