Battle Music

Shooting another burst of wind, Corentine propelled herself towards Takahisa from her high aerial position, giving herself an advantage as all of Takahisa's vines were all far away from him, thus making him vulnerable for whatever she had planned. Though, he kept those vines there, but began to make the vines much larger through some growth.

---

"All a part of a ritual to fully revive myself, the Witch," Beatrice said with a laugh, one that made her look like a wicked Witch.

Eren cringed. "You are sick..." he pointed his blade at her. "Why would you do something like that jist to revive yourself?"

---

The crowd grew larger but Armin and Rachel were absent. The soldiers watching them had started wagers on who's going to win and they were cheering.

"It's just how it is. Besides...the ritual is still in progress," Beatrice said with this kind of face. In a lightning fast speed, a stake materialized and shot itself towards Eren in an attempt to stab him in the chest.

"Here I come!" Corentine shouted as she pointed the gunblade behind her and shot several times, the wind blasts gave her a boost and momentum falling down towards Takahisa in high speeds, her blade ready for the strike. Takahisa stood there as she was coming closer and closer fast, but smiled a bit as he did a single hand gesture to show another Third Fonist Seal. Corentine's eyes widened in surprised as she stopped all of a sudden, only a few feet away from Takahisa. She turned around to see that one of his vines had grown long enough to the point to wrap around her ankle, holding her in place.

"Not so fast," Takahisa said as he wagged his finger tauntingly, and then had the rest of the vines quickly grow over and aim themselves at Corentine, who was still held trapped by the ankle. Thinking fast, Corentine had her gunblade separate into the two gunblades and then shot both blades as well as making herself spin in the air, ripping through the vine that held her down and also damaging some of the vines that were closing in on her. Surprised by this, Takahisa backed away immediately as he focused into the Fifth Fonist Seal, since it was obvious that she was able to rip through his vines from the third Fonist Seal that easily.

Eren stepped back and covered his face, not completely sure where the blade was going to strike.

---

The crowd went wild and cheered for them.

It was too late, by then, the blade had impaled itself into his chest, and he would start to feel himself becoming steadily weaker as he began to bleed out. His last sight before he would abruptly wake up was Beatrice laughing sadistically at what happened to be Eren's death in the dream world.

---

Fast on her feet, Corentine was headed fast towards Takahisa. Though, he had already finished charging into the Fifth Fonist Seal, and activated it's effects. Soon, almost instantly, a tremendously large tree grew all around Corentine, trapping her inside. For a few moments, there was no moment, as she was really trapped in there.

"Guess that's checkmate..." Takahisa said as he bent down a bit to recover his breath, but suddenly perked his head up as intense winds could be heard inside the large tree prison. In quick timing, Corentine blasted herself right through the tree's trunk, causing the tree to crumble apart into nothing instantly as she charged her way towards Takahisa. Since he didn't have much time to prepare for this one, Takahisa found himself tackled to the ground, both of Corentine's gunblades aimed at him.

"So...what's that about checkmate?" Corentine grinned as she put the gunblades away and held out her hand to help Takahisa back onto his feet.

Eren fell to his knees, frantically pulling the blade put of his chest. He.growled in pain and winced.

---

The crowd was still supportive.

Rachel walked up to the crowd, shoving through the people and smiled when she saw Takahisa.

As much as he tried, Eren would not get the blade out of his chest. As he began to get dizzy from blood loss, he would then wake up as if all of that was a nightmare.

---

"Looks like we got a crowd," Corentine laughed as she helped Takahisa up. "Rachel, hey!" Takahisa saw her coming from the crowd.

Rachel.smiled. "Hey there, knuckle-head.... Ya know, Armin wouldn't approve of starting fights..." she said, giggling.

---

Eren sat up. "What is wrong with her dreams?" he asked quietly, standing.

"Fights. Heh, more like just friendly sparring and all," Corentine said with a laugh. Takahisa only gave a sigh since he felt like Corentine took the fight overboard near the end.

---

Since both of their rooms were right next to each other, Eren could hear Kaika snoring still, she was most likely asleep.

Eren laid back down. He sighed softly and watched the ceiling fan rotate.

---

Rachel smiled. "Riiiiiiigghht..."

"Good to see you awake," Umiya said as she poked her head through the open door of Eren's room.

---

"Heheh, anyways, I'm going to go and look around for a bit. So... cya," Corentine decides that she should leave Takahisa and Rachel alone, and before he could even have a say before then, Corentine immediately walks away from them without much else to say.

Rachel smirked and grabbed Takahisa by the collar of his shirt and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Wanna come help me drag Armin out of the library? He's got a squad to teach and he won't leave the.library..."

---

Eren jumped in surprise and fell out of bed. "Don't scare me like that!" he laughed, sitting up.

"Oh, yeah. That sounds like him alright," Takahisa said with a laugh. by now, he had a clear understanding on the personalities of the people here.

---

"Did I? I don't really understand how I startle people like that," Umiya said with some curiosity. Even if she was immortal, she didn't seem to understand basic things that people would know, which kinda made her appear like a curious child for this kind of situation.

Rachel laughed and led Takahisa inside.

---

Eren smiled. "Kaika just dragged me into some.nightmare.and I'm a little jumpy.."

Takahisa grinned a bit as he followed Rachel inside. This whole situation was quite an interesting one. It was like he was making a second family here by how he had bonded with the others over time.

---

"Oh, you must be getting the same kinds of dreams that Kaika-chan receives. While some dreams and nightmares are just metaphorical, some can also be a literal sense of the past or future," Umiya said upon hearing that he had a nightmare that could be best described as strange since he did mention that it could be involved with Kaika in some way.

When they arrived at the library, Rachel.peeked in to see Armin with a stack of books walking around trying to find another one. "There he is, Mr.Bookworm himself..." he laughed.

---

Eren nodded. "Yeah..." he stood. "...I'm gonna go make sure she's alright..."

"It's a no-brainer to find him here actually," Takahisa laughed at the thought.

---

"Oh okay. I believe she's still in her room," Umiya said, informing him that she was still inside her room.

Armin sat down and began slipping through pages and maps and books simulatneously.

Rachel smiled and stepped inside. "You have a class, you know..."

"Uh-huh..." Armin hummed and opened another book.

---

Eren went to Kaika's room and listened to see if she was still sleeping.

She isn't kidding when she says tat he's a bookworm.. Takahisa thought as he walked up alongside Rachel, seeing that Armin was so delved into his books and whatever else he had.

---

It was deadly silent in her room, you couldn't even hear the snoring inside of the room so it made it unclear what was going on exactly inside.

Rachel picjed up a book. "What are you doing, anyways?"
"Mhmm.." he said, looking in another book.
Rachel huffed and closed the book. "You're not even listening, are you?" she smirked. "Okay, well I'm gonna go kill Corporal Levi in his sleep..."
Armin opened another book. "Wear a jacket.." he.mumbled.
Rachel rolled her eyes.

---

Eren opened the door slightly and quietly, peeking inside.
