[center][h2]Radiant Cathedral[/h2] ~~~ [@Rune_Alchemist] ~~~[/center] [quote=Seleth Thenri][color=0076a3]"More importantly though...what are you doing here? I haven't seen you here before. Here to gloat or brag about your own victories, hm? Or are you here for something else?"[/color][/quote] "..." Varjan was silent, at a loss for words. "...I don't know." He finally answered. It appeared not even he knew what he was doing in the Radiant Cathedral, in the presence of the Goddess Aylama. "Solace, I guess? That's up in Lady Aylama's alley right?" The awkward silence then went on for a while. While this may have made you uncomfortable, Varjan's eyes stared through you clearly thinking about many things. "Seleth." He suddenly said. "I know this may sound crazy but... but please hear me out. Please." The prodigy begged of you. Almost pathetically even, not the behavior of a top student of Seraph Academy. Then again, Varjan never exhibited any sort of dignified manners. He was almost always aloof and quiet. "Do you think..." Varjan fumbled, having difficulty to put his thoughts into words. "Do you think... I could pray to the Goddesses for death?" He finally asked. He stood up and seized your shoulders. "Do you think they'll do it? Do you think they'll kill me?" Varjan continued asking, raving and half-mad. "Answer me, Seleth. Do you think they'll answer such a prayer? Do you think you can kill me?"

You better not be all talk, I've got things to do lad."[/color][/quote] "[color=cornflowerblue]Oh, you're about to see, sir![/color]" Zeen replied before hastily setting up his performance. "[color=cornflowerblue]As for my first trick! Look here at my empty sack! It is empty, yes?[/color]" The boy then produced a small and empty white sack. "[color=cornflowerblue]Now watch my effortless and efficient teleporting magic as endless droves of doves fly out of the sack![/color]" He infused magic into the sack and opened it. However, no dove emerged from the sack. "[color=cornflowerblue]Huh?[/color]" Upon taking a look, a single chicken flew into Zeen's face and scurried away. "[color=cornflowerblue]Wait, hold on! I can do something else![/color]" Zeen attempted to salvage his show. "[color=cornflowerblue]I can... I can combine elements! Look![/color]" The boy then produced a ball of fire on one hand and a ball of earth on the other. He then began squeezing them together. However, the two balls did not combine and the balls merely flew out of Zeen's hands. "[color=cornflowerblue]Ah, no![/color]" Zeen was obviously panicking, trying to save the derailed and failing show. "[color=cornflowerblue]Here, I-I have something else![/color]" Perhaps it would be better to stop this to save you time and save Zeen from further embarrassment. [hr] [center][h2]Seraph Academy[/h2] [h3]Practice Halls[/h3] ~~~ [@Frozen0Titan] (KAZ & MAL) ~~~[/center] Tozen was indeed hit by the beam, blown to the ground at the same time his fog was blown away. The referee went over to your downed opponent and checked him. After a few moments, the referee announced. "[color=fff79a]General Tozen has been defeated! Kazudain and Maldur win![/color]" The audience gave a round of applause to you. At least these Eastern foreigners were good sports. Tozen got up with the help of his katana. "[color=fff200]You fought well, Sir Kazudain.[/color]" The general commended you. "[color=fff200]Although, I was looking forward to be facing one of the Seraph Academy students. I was told I would be facing one unless there was a shortage of participants.[/color]" Tozen continued. "[color=fff200]Considering I was facing you and you are clearly not a student, it looks like the latter has occurred.[/color]" "[color=fff200]Do you know anything about that? Was there something in the tournament or in Zauberheim that discouraged students from joining?[/color]" Tozen asked. "[color=fff200]Or maybe I'm just unlucky.[/color]" [center][h3]Southern Gate[/h3] ~~~ [@A Lowly Wretch], [@Polaris North] (RVL) ~~~[/center] [quote=Thessir]"Why, of course we always have second chances. You just need to wait a year first."[/quote] The armored student could not believe [u]Thessir's[/u] words. He slowly surrendered to the guards trying to apprehend him. [u]Thessir[/u] was well on his way to the marketplace when he heard a roar. "[color=brown]RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH![/color]" When [u]Thessir[/u] turned around, he saw the armored student charging at him. The student's eyes were filled with rage and his teeth was gritted. Despite wearing armor, he was quicker than [u]Thessir[/u] could react. He tackled [u]Thessir[/u] to the ground and grabbed the Elf's head. The student then began slamming [u]Thessir's[/u] head on the earth again and again. It was not yet the next series of tournament matches but [u]Thessir[/u] has found himself in a fight already. Meanwhile, [u]Raviel[/u] had bid farewell to his opponent and approached the southern gate of Seraph Academy. There, he saw two unconscious guards while there were two students having a scuffle further away. Upon closer look, [u]Raviel[/u] found that it was no mere scuffle. Rather, a violent fight.

I can multitask listening to him and investigating a warehouse."[/quote] "[color=mediumslateblue]Splendid![/color]" The court mage clapped his hands and rubbed them. "[color=mediumslateblue]So, when will we start our little escapade? Oh, do we have any more concerns by the way?[/color]"
