Despite the success of his first attacks, Roland soon found he was unable to land anymore hits on his opponent. Even with Duncan’s impressive archery to contend with as well, Yurius was still able to dodge every attack that came his way. It was hard to tell what was more infuriating for Roland, that he and Duncan were giving it their best to no avail, or that Yurius clearly wasn’t even trying. 

Well, that last part wouldn’t be true for much longer. As Duncan fired his last arrow and switched to a great sword, the two started to close in. This time Yurius stayed still allowing the boys to corner him. Just as they attempted to move in, the vampire suddenly clawed his own neck followed by a compliment on their abilities. If his intent was confusion, it worked like a charm. The sight of the teacher inflicting wounds on himself during what was supposedly a demonstration disturbed Roland who froze in his tracks.

And then he struck. 

Yurius charged Duncan, first, taking him out with a single punch before moving to Roland. Roland was only just able to snap out of his shock in time to raise his shield up to block the first punch thrown at him. The speed Yurius displayed appeared to be faster than he had already been moving, but somehow Roland was able to keep up. The second punch was a much easier block as Yurius continued using the same move albeit from the other direction. 

By now Roland was starting to pick up on the pattern of Yurius’ attacks. Every time he struck with the downward punch it would leave his body turned or half a second. All Roland would need to do was wait for the next opening and use it to get back on the offensive. For a brief moment, the brown haired boy though he might be able to do this. Such hopes and possibly his arm were soon crushed as Yurius delivered a final punch with the force of a sledge hammer, knocking the poor boy to the ground.

Dazed and defeated Roland lay on the ground while Yurius announced their turn was up. Once he managed to push himself off the ground, the teacher gave him his overview and potentially his goal for the future. His powers needed to be strengthened and his physical abilities needed refinement. Good. Those were the reasons he came here, after all. And if there was anyone who could teach him these things, it was Yurius. Roland thanked his teacher for the feedback before replacing his weapons on the rack and taking his seat to observe the rest of the students. Even though he technically got his ass handed to him, Roland couldn't help but smile at his performance. He could tell he was going to enjoy this class.

Lunch time!

[color=556b2f]“Hey, nice work back there. I don’t think even and elf could shoot a bow that well.”[/color] Roland said to his centaur battle buddy as they headed to the cafeteria. Despite having a rather excessive breakfast, Roland was looking forward to sinking his teeth into something. 

Leaving the lunch line with a tray of mashed potatoes and a chicken sandwich, Roland looked around the packed cafeteria for any free spots. While there were a few open seats, the table that drew his attention was the one with the red haired girl from before. They didn’t get much of a chance to talk yesterday and he wanted to know more about what she saw in the forest. Though she was currently sitting with some spider girl and after all the commotion he had stirred up yesterday, he’d rather they discuss the matter privately. Still, no harm in being friendly until then.

[color=556b2f]“Hey, Duncan. Wanna go sit by that ‘cute girl’ from yesterday? Looks like she’s got a friend.”[/color] Roland asked giving his pal a nudge and wink.
