[quote]Then, as she remembered one of the books she'd read, Yuriha said, "I don't want Aniki and He-chan to love each other if you forget about me."[/quote] Marcus had looked both surprise and embarrassing after she said that, he took a minute to pick the right words to say. "Come on, Yuri-chan i sure me and senpai wouldn't forget you just like that." He told her as it was the most effective sentence he could come up with to stay well equipped with everyone. "Don't worry, Aniki, Moe-nee had me bring a first-aid kit just in case!" She shouted while waving her arms, trying to cheer Marcus. [quote] "My my what a development. So fast Marcus you put me to shame that is for sure." That should have really hurt the guys pride given it was coming from someone like Orin.[/quote] Marcus assume he that Orin was talking about his speed and not how he manager to catch a girl interest. If the number of accidents Marcus got himself in could prove one thing, it was that he wasn't to bright. Marcus then put on a warm smile scratch behind his head as he prepare to thank him for what he assume was his positive comment. "Oh thanks Orin, I-" Marcus then cut himself when suddenly ... [quote]"SHUT IT, SUGGEST THAT CRAP ONCE MORE AND YOU'LL BE RESPONCIBLE FOR BURNING THE FOREST DOWN AND THAT IS IF YOUR STILL FUCKING ALIVE BY THE END OF IT"!!! Today seemed to be a bad day to piss Hecate off....[/quote] By the end Marcus stood still frozen in place, his hand behind his neck and his goofy smile locked in place, he also appeared to be grey with stone like texture. It appeared that Hecate scared him so much he literally turn to stone. ------------------ Marcus begin to calm himself to take on Hecate-senpai. [quote]"Don't worry, Aniki, Moe-nee had me bring a first-aid kit just in case!" She shouted while waving her arms, trying to cheer Marcus.[/quote] "Oh that nice..." He told Yuri-chan without even thinking about. [b]"Wait what?"[/b] He asked Yuriha-chan wondering if the first-aid kit was just has an precaution or if Boss actually expected them to get injuries during training, specify during this part. [i]"No matter, if thing go south i can just run right, after it do seem that only a few of us has super-speed."[/i] he said to himself. [quote]She grabbed something from a nearby bush and in a flash, thanks to the [knight] piece, a small dart flew past Orin, a few strands of hair were all that was hit, but the message was clear "Well see who tires who out, beginner..." she said.[/quote] Marcus then froze for a second after he said he move very quickly. "Did she just..." He wonder out loud. ---------------------- After she explained the rules it seems that it was going to take Kate-chan a [u]bit[/u] of extra effort injured him, noticed i said a bit. Thankfully the rules Hecate had place on herself, give him the moment to take. Lets see what he knew about Kate: she not so mean she thought she was, She at least had some patience, and yet Zeke warned the group that she could be a bit brutal. That made him wonder, was she going to do what she going to do for there own good. Was she going to possible brake his fingers cause she cared, They heading into the jungle not the school playground after all so if she does something, it was for the best. He then walked around weigh his opinions, focusing on not the weapons quite, but the branches surrounding them. He suspected that she was show only enough mercy not to now kill them, so as soon as he grab something he suspect she would use her speed to harm them, therefore he had to grab a weapon he can easily pull out of the bush if he even hoped of staying alive. "Fuck I was hot." he said, it appeared the tension was getting to him, so he took off his shirt and begin rolling, causing the the sweat to pour out of it, when all of a sudden he made a brake towards the dull sword he could easily pulled out. With his shirt still in hand he grabbed the pulled and yanked it out quickly, before quickly turning around to block, he did so by holding the blade horizontal in front of him while using his left hand to support so he may have hope to stand his ground. blocking her at the speed she was going would likely hurt, but if Kate knew anything is that Marcus had a lot of endurance He then move his legs back like he was going to knee her in the stomach, but that was a fault move. He just wanted her to jump, if she did then he would try to go after her and use his wrapped up shirt like a whip, and swing it at the sword at her hand in order to disarm her. When he was wrapping his shirt up earlier he wasn't doing it to get the sweat out of it, he was wrapping it up to use like a makeshift laundry towel to whipped someone butt with. He had Kate to thank, she made him swear like crazy think to the fire show she made. [quote]Her gear instantly activated and the flames were bigger then normal, towering above her making her seem twice as large as she turned around, giving off an typical anime/ manga situation where a girl is pissed enough that he hair turns all Medusa and the eyes glow. "SHUT IT, SUGGEST THAT CRAP ONCE MORE AND YOU'LL BE RESPONCIBLE FOR BURNING THE FOREST DOWN AND THAT IS IF YOUR STILL FUCKING ALIVE BY THE END OF IT"!!! Today seemed to be a bad day to piss Hecate off....[/quote] It was thank to that Marcus had sweated profusely. He sure hopes that works, cause that was the only idea he was about to come up with.
