Vincent looked to Alysis and then to Miraiko and then back to the lump of metal in his hands. And then he punched it, hard!
"Ah Fuck!" he said pulling his hand back in pain. 
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" He said shouting at Miraiko, while still holding the lump, the pain clouding his thoughts making him snap. As per usual when he was angry, excited or felt any strong emotion, heat started to radiate from him.

"Vincent! Look at your hand!" Nicola advised excitedly. 
Vincent looked down and could see the metal blob was glowing gently.
"It's responding to your heat." She said excitedly.

"Not exactly. It's actually responding to the magical manifestation of your origin." Miraiko added.
Vincent looked back at the blob.
"So it's like when the Gentlemen stole our magic when he got us to activate those seeds." Vincent said grabbing the metal lump in his hand, and his eyes lit up figuratively and literally. "Ok then, LETS BURN!" He shouted pouring everything he had into his hands and through the metal.

Waves and tongues of flame burst from his body and went straight into the metal, rolls and ripples of heat extending outwards and then back into the metal until after a bright light, Vincent was standing breathing deeply looking into his hand. 

Nicola re-approached and looked over his shoulder into his hand. In the centre of his palms, was what looked like a small pendant with a red gemstone in the centre, which seemed to be filled with flames, with wings made of metal coming from either side connected it to a chain.

"Congratulations, you have claimed your Arma, Suzaku the red bird, has smiled upon you." Miraiko said smiling. "Now channel some energy through it." 

Vincent grasped the pendant and focused some Prana to his hand through the pendant, instantly his hand ignited with a bright red flame. It was fire and it wasn't, but it felt powerful. 

"Catch!" Miraiko shouted, throwing a sword Vincent's way, he instantly snatched it out of the air, and the red flame covered that too, the sword was now glowing with the same energy. 

"Good! Now turn it up!" Miraiko shouted. 

"What how!" Vincent responded, but before he could get a breath out, Miraiko had closed the distance between them, with his own blade now a large Katana swug at Vincent. Vincent blocked with the sword he had caught earlier, surprisingly it blocked the strike but Miraiko started to press harder. Vincent matched him and pushed harder, the flames were glowing a deeper red and becoming more focused on the blade as he forced Miraiko back. 

Vincent started to breath deeper, steam coming from his mouth as he was breathing harder. He raised his sword and glowing fist and pointed it towards Miraiko. "You want it, THEN YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL!" He shouted as the air started to get heavier. As he finished talking, a shockwave errupted from the sword, pushing and blowing people away from him and then a blast of fire and prana burst forward, taking the form of a fire bird and flew directly to Miraiko. 

The 5th year Izanami student, jumped back and opened his hands. His sword turned back into small black particles and started to whirl around him, each of the small particles glowing with his trademark light. Vincent's firebird struck the particles and the spinning absorbed the flame and created a sort of vacuum. And then Vincent started to relax and the bird started to lose its energy, Miraiko pulling back in return until they were all standing after the fact.

"So are you impressed? I am. Sure it looks like normal flame craft, but that is because it is representing your inner fire. This isn't fire, it is prana that has manifested looking as fire, combined with your origin of burn."

Vincent dropped the sword and looked back at the pendant in his hand. "It was a weapon that weaponised his origin perfectly."

"ME NEXT!" Nicola shouted, running up to Miraiko and holding out her hand. [/quote]

Robert and Berserker whistled appreciatively in unison.

[quote]"Virtue is for those who can't make it as sinners!" Shoshin said looking to her co-conspirators. 

"What do you think you are doing." Said someone solemnly from the crowd, Shoshin looked over to see who she assumed was a 5th year Isis student, she had dark tanned skin and white hair.

"We are hear to make a statement." Shoshin said with a smug smirk on her face.

The white haired girl seemed to sigh at this. She raised her hand and pointed at Shoshin, Shin and Rei. "Leave or I shall make you leave, you first year brats."

Rei studied the Isis student for a bit before slumping his armored shoulders, "Not worth my time.  All yours, Shoshin."

Turning his back, he scanned the room for worthy foes.  A pair of fifth years stepped forward to meet his gaze.  Dark skinned and tall, both dressed identically and wearing headwraps that revealed only their eyes, they spoke no words, but assumed a battle stance.  Each held a matching scimitar in their hands... opposite hands, Rei noted.  Their stances complimented each other, this would be trouble for Rei, using a single greatsword.  Nonetheless, Rei took his signature stance, slunk down, sword resting on his shoulder.  To the inexperienced, he looked wide open, but the opponents before him noted the bluff before charging forward, movements perfectly in sync, but mirrored to each other.
