[color=f26522]"Very well then...professor sir? Permission to show him what he signed up for?"[/color] asked Monica as the Director looked at Han wondering if he should let Monica do what she wanted. He knew she wouldn't hurt him too badly at the end of the day but her abilities were quite...intricate. [color=0072bc]"Do what you must."[/color] Director Orson decided quickly as Monica breathed out and with a quick latin phrase she clicked her fingers. Suddenly an intense pain as if needles, or sharp glass were violently jabbing outward from Han's insides engulfed his entire body in a seering pain. The spell seemed to override his magical protections, and circuits. He wasn't able to protect himself from the spell even if he tried. It seemed whatever spell Monica had cast was a curse. The pain was practically unbearable but before much could happen Saber stepped in. [color=fff79a]"I was hoping that whatever you were going to do that you wouldn't. But it would seem I had to much faith in you. Please cancel the spell now."[/color] Jeanne said firmly as Assassin had placed herself next to berserker in a quick flash as if a blur of light had moved her from her current place to berserker with her katana out she made sure Berserker wasn't about to do something she regretted. Caster herself made no movements but looked on with an amused chuckle. [color=598527]"Some 'faction' were are already there is conflict like this? Heh it reminds me of my days at court. Almost. Still master release the boy it would seem he understands what pain is now in comparison."[/color] commented Caster. Monica nodded she didn't look like she was enjoying what she did in the least. She clicked her fingers on the opposite hand, and the spell vanished in a moment leaving only the pain that was already inflicted to fade. [color=f26522]"Don't you dare act tough. Accept what you are just like the rest of us. We're people with flaws no one man is an island. We're a faction, a group of mages. You asked me to reflect on myself. I felt pretty angry so I took your advice and took it out. I'm sure if I did that spell on Mister Anderson over there I'd be dead by now. There is a valuable lesson to be learned that no matter who you think you are there is someone with something that can hurt you. I happen to be the Director's choice for Master of Curses."[/color] commented Monica dourly as Director Orson cleared his throat to prevent anyone from responding quite just yet. [color=0072bc]"Monica is what you would call a prodigy in the field of curses. She's learned everything from Latin Curses of ancient Rome, to modern day voodoo. She may seem like a classical class valedictorian but she is far from a dainty little girl. Haneul remember who allowed you to become a master this day. It was I who gave you the chance. You were sitting like a child in front of a group of men, and women of experience today in my office and you failed to say a single word. If you think you get to talk down to others like that when you act so small before? Earn the right to step up to Monica. She spent every day of her life in the clocktower training on how to make herself a valued member to not just this school but to mages everywhere by exploring the darker aspects of magical energy. You were sent here on a recommendation from your parents. Though I suspect I may be playing favorites you can take this chance to learn from it. And a word of advice: If you wish to bark some more [i]I[/i] will showcase what you're in for next."[/color] Orson chewed out the boy further before turning his attention to Anderson. [color=0072bc]"Release Berserker."[/color] commented Orson dryly as Anderson whistled at Assassin who backed off sheathed her sword with a quick apology to Berserker. [color=f49ac2]"Orders are orders Berserker. Please understand."[/color] Saber offered a hand to Han if he hadn't already picked himself up. [color=fff79a]"Please allow me to help you. I'm sorry for what just happened to you. Don't hold a grudge towards them though. If you do then you'll poison the team more than they did. Besides if I'm guessing correct Caster is a poisoner if her catalyst is to be taken at face value. It is not wise to challenge someone like her up front. If we'ere to survive this war it is better that we work together."[/color] Saber said calmly she hoped that her words would not be rejected but even if they were she wouldn't mind. Her hope was that she could help if that was rejected than there was little she could do.
