Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

"Yes this is 2-09, the room that is my Fief... Which now has a hole in the wall." Robin sighed, "Serf, as this is my holding, I am responsible for the damage. And as it appears, you are staying in my fief peasant." Robin peered at Curtis, "First I must make sure that my holdings have arrived here, and secondly. An unruly male peasant has challenged me to a battle! He really wants to beat a girl up... Do people not have basic morals these days?" Robin sniffled a bit, as she glanced at Curtis, "Wait, yes! You can go as a Champion on my behalf!" Robin tilted her head and smiled at Curtis, "Yes, yes you can. Come, to the Gym. I will worry about the damage you have caused to my fief later."

 

[Zerohex]

Rasputin stroked his beard. "Silly boy, your problems won't go away just because you win a fight, no. You still lack sufficient knowledge and therefore control over your own abilities to be anything more than a spineless whelp, for instance. What kind of sorcerer lacks control over his own abilities? But this, this is a winner's attitude, yes. This is a start towards real progress, something that'll help mold you into something more".

 

[Advent Azure]

He turned toward Rasputin, since he was still waiting to hear from Skyia


"I can still use magic, I know how to, its just that I don't know what to do with the other effects of it, but that's not important now. It might be rough, but I know that I'll win this time, I can feel it"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

She tilts her head hearing this. " OH! Oooooh, alright, yea i can get it, i left it in my room though. "


She nodded hearing what he said. " I suppose i can give it back to you, if it helps you out a little with a problem, just make sure not to damage it though, alright? I really really appreciate that you gave it to me. "


She raised her body a bit into the air. " And please be careful, alright? "


She starts to uncoil her body and starts to slither off into the dorms. " Ill catch you in a little while then? " she asks him, facing around.


( Gah, crappy post is crappy, ill get back in the swing in a few minutes. )

 

[Parsnip]

Well, I DID want to help someone; besides, she's probably just bossy because she's insecure or something.


"Sure thing, miss. Probably just a big misunderstanding, is all.", Curtis rose and held out a hand, "Name's Curtis. I don't really, uh, know where the gym is, though. Haven't gotten around to seeing it yet."


He scratched his head.


"Would you mind, uh, helping me find my way down there?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"I don't mean literally everything... its just that she's been the source of most of them, this isn't just a fight for fun or anything, its a fight for me..."


Azure ran off to his room, and shoved some heavy objects into his door to hold it shut, since it was still broken... not that it matter to him anymore, and quickly got changed into his preferred outfit.


"It's been a while since I've been in something this loose, it feels so nice being unrestricted. Better load up my clothing with daggers and knives in their proper pouches now... I have an idea of where I can store that spear weapon me on, I'm glad that I made it very retractable, so that I could"





After arming himself up to his usual amount, he made his way to the gym, already familiar with how to get there, and stood there waiting for Robin


-... She won't get away this time if she tries sending someone else as usual... Richter already wants to see her fight-

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin stared at Curtis as he extended his hand out. "I have many titles, at this point you may simply refer to me as Liege Robin. As in, "My Liege" who I am championing." Robin then smiled and nodded at Curtis, "Of course I shall show you the location of the gymnasium, after all I cannot expect my Champion to honorably represent me, if they do not know where the field of battle is." Robin gestured towards Curtis as she headed towards the gym. "Just follow me, and we shall be there shortly."

 

[EmilyPower]

Emily was making up a lie to tell the nurse when she asked her about her wound. There was no way she was going to tell everything to a complete stranger.


" I fell down the stairs"


It was a terrible lie but it was all she could make up in less than 30 seconds

 

[Parsnip]

"Alright, I'm easy." Curtis said as he followed the girl to the gym.


"So, uh, any other conditions to the spar outside of the usual?"


________


Olga gave the girl a few seconds to think before holding up a jar filled with brackish water.


"I should be letting you know, lying gets you the leech treatment. Do you wish to tell me, or should nurse Olga skip anesthetic as well?"

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin shook her head, "No Champion, it is just a simple spar." Robin now at the gym glanced at Curtis and pointed towards Azure, "That is who you will be sparring against in my name. Any other questions you have?" Robin glanced back at Curtis.

Lily took off her smock, placed it back where she got it, and turned to Anya who had grabbed her hand.


From the sound of it, there was going to be a fight and Azure was going to get his *** kicked- she just knew it. She really wanted to watch the fight, but she was trying to get Anya away from violence. To take her to a fight now would be hypocritical.


When Rasputin asked what kind of sorcerer lacked control over his own abilities, Lily wanted to answer 'wild mage', but that was more about controlling chaos than being really chaotic. They still never knew what caster level they were going from, though.


Lily really didn't know what to do with the girl at the moment, though, and decided that she wanted to do whatever Anya wanted to do for now.


"What... um... what do you want to do, Anya? Whatever it is, I probably won't mind."

 

[Parsnip]

"Nah, I'm good. So, uh, do we just wait in the gym?"


Curtis opened the door for his roommate- yeah, probably just nervousness. Curtis had- well, okay, no, Curtis hadn't been there. He just kind of curled up when he was nervous, but still.

 

[MechaGhoul]

"I suppose." Robin glanced at the door as she walked inside the gym. She glanced around, "It looks like it will be a suitable arena for you to spar in Champion." Robin stepped a few paces to the side of the door, waiting for Curtis to enter. "You'll do fine. Remember, you are fighting on my behalf. Do not disappoint me. Again, I assure you that you will do fine in this spar."

 

[EmilyPower]

Emily opened her eyes wide, she already hated the nurse, she didn't want the bad treatment but she couldn't tell Olga what had happened. Hopefully the bad treatment wouldn't hurt that much.


" I don't care"

 

[Advent Azure]

Azure was looking from across the room at the doors, waiting for them to enter when he saw Curtis and Robin enter


"...? Curtis?"


-What is he doing here... even Richter said that it was going to be between me and her, why must she always try to pull these tricks... he's not even a bad guy or anything, he's pretty nice or something like that, I'd feel terrible if I fought someone like him... maybe... he's just watching or something... just gotta wait for Richter to get here since he has to watch, that'll sort things out...-

 

[Parsnip]

"Ah, you think you are the tough one, I am seeing.", Olga placed a couple of the bottles back into a nearby cabinet. She let a leech suckle on her finger, staring at it intently. "I am guessing, then, that you are needing no anesthetic, da? There is no shame in telling Olga what has happened. Lying to your doctor is terrible thing."


________


"Sup."


Oh, it was bow-and-arrow guy. Yeah, if he was going to fight anyone, it'd probably be a girl like Robin. Arrogant, not very strong- though he had thought better of the guy, to be honest. Going around and picking fights with those weaker than you, just to soothe a bruised ego- well, Curtis couldn't really let that slide.


"So I hear that you've been tryin' to pick a fight with my roommate, here. Can't say I'm okay with that."

 

[Advent Azure]

"Curtis... I don't want to fight you, she just manipulating you like she does everyone else... shes trying to get you to do her dirty work..."


-Wait... he's ROOMMATES with her? That's...-


Azure grew shocked when he learned that they were sharing the same room together


"Well I'm not ok with everything she's done to me... I can't let that go, not after the teacher told that I can't just let myself get pushed around anymore, that's why I'm doing this, its personal! She's a two-faced demon, more than two faces even, and I don't want you getting caught up in her schemes. I won't fight you, I refuse, its not a matter of winning, its a matter of self-respect."


-He won't understand... they never do... she always pulls this stunt every time...-

 

[Parsnip]

"Uh huh, matter of self-respect, sure. Lemme ask you something: Where was that "self-respect" when you decided to pick a fight with Robin over here?", he jerked his thumb towards the small girl, "She look like the kind of chick who can take a punch?"


Curtis shook his head.


"How about you give me a real reason?"

 

[Zerohex]

Rasputin sighed. It was to be expected, the little wretch was looking so good, of course it wasn't going to last. It was never that easy. "Boy, whatever you think is happening or you think you're doing or not doing, I couldn't care less about, no. You are stepping up and fighting this giant oaf because that is what winners do, they destroy anyone and anything that stands in their way, yes, and after you win then you can go after that girl. Or you can walk away now and be the gutless scum who backed down from a duel he himself issued when he realized he wasn't fighting a girl".

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin looked at Azure and stepped back a bit. "T-th... Weapons!? You brought actual weapons!?" Robin shrieked a bit, and moved further back. Robin's lips quivered a bit, as she glanced at Curtis, "I don't he just wanted to punch me. I think he wants to KILL me. I mean, why else would they bring ACTUAL weapons?"

Josue's exit from the botany class left him in a cheerful mood. As not only was the instructor properly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but it too was a subject of interest. And the access to the greenhouses would prove a useful assest. His face felt almost hot as he thought about the uses for the greenhouse and her... He frowned as it was like a mosquito bite in the scratch in only made it itch more; but rather it was the focused attempt at ignoring these thoughts that made them come to the forefront.


He was about to just head to either one of the eateries or to retreat into his room. But he had caught word from other students. It was to be a spar between some students who he never heard of. However that wouldn't stop him from interloping to give him some proper entertainment and something to occupy his thoughts. With a little bit of time and spiritia usage he managed to assemble a group of students piling into the gymnasium. Each one carrying some sort of food item and drink.


Now this private little affair became spectacle and the mood had changed into something reminiscent of Romans a gladiator game. Down to Josue seating himself like an emperor with some arm candy around him. Making pleasant conversation he merely counted the elf bux he had collected from the sale of his conjured items as he waited for them to fight.

 

[Advent Azure]

-She's calling herself Robin now? She's going to far...-


"She's deceiving you, that's not even her real form! She can use magic, and is good with weapons to..."


-If only she didn't do whatever she did to take the scars off my body... it would of been great proof-


Azure sighed as Rasputin spoke, he was right... after all, this sort of thing was Kylier's game


"But its not fair for Curtis... he's the victim in all of this, but... your right... I guess I can't back down like some punk... I gotta save him from her now"


He turned to Curtis... with determination in his eyes


-I'm not wrong, I'm doing what's right, what has to be done-


"I guess you're right Rasputin, I won't like it, but I will take you on since there's no choice, I'll free you from her control by beating you back to normal"

 

[PicaPirate]

Lerrus noticed quite the commotion going on in the halls, which rudely interrupted the girl he was kissing. She was nice enough, though never caught her name. He sighed.


"I must leave you now my dear, there appears to be business that involves me (a complete lie)." The girl was still dazed from his rather skilled kiss and nodded.


Lerrus walked away as he left a black rose in their hands as a memory. He had a few of these for these kind of excursions.


As he walked down the hallway, it appeared to involve people from his last class. It from what he could decipher from the talking and chatter was a spar, with no holds back. This should be fun.


He sat himself on a seat quite close. He managed to sweet talk his way into it via an excuse that involved distant relations with Azure and a unnamed member of staff. Some people were pretty dumb these days.


Lerrus noticed one of the fighters was the giant that entirely misinterpreted his explanation. He was more thick-headed than his member and mix that with his goodwill, you have a stumbling idiot you struggle not to feel bad for.


"This should be quite the sight to observe."

[Parsnip]

"You know, at this point that wouldn't really surprise me.", Curtis whispered to his roommate as the other boy forcefully declared something about mind control, "I think he might be a crazy person."

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin whispered back, "I am starting to think that as well. If he tries biting you, make sure to get checked for rabies, or some other disease, just in case."
