[center][h3]Silver Gate Academy Grounds - Gym Hall and Soccer Field[/h3][/center] [@Lonewolf685][@Kafka Komedy] [hr] After concluding their meals and drinks at Starbucks, the small group of students walked back to the school grounds. Normally it would actually be teeming with students, but as this was the last day before Golden Week began, everyone was eager to leave and have fun. Clubs would normally be doing their activities at this time and just about every facility on campus would be in use, so this was a surprisingly good time to have a peaceful tour. Edward and Lorelai would show the two of them around the grounds, and soon they would settle back to the sports facilities, in particular... Edward and Rodrick would find themselves standing in the soccer field, while Helena and Lorelai were in the gym hall. [@Kafka Komedy] The soccer field was spacious, and of course, not in use. Rodrick was interested in field sports, it was something he had done as a child and to see that this school provides an opportunity for students to engage in recreational activities greatly interested him. Alladore and Garadin academies both mage and knight studies did not allow such things. Instead they opt for 'noble' sports such as jousting and spell contests. [color=7ea7d8]"Hmmmm... I feel as though I can greatly benefit, from learning about the structure of this world's educational system, I am correct that all curriculum and structure is based on that of the entire Earth's educational systems? Ignoring that some countries may have differences"[/color], he began. As Edward spoke he turned to him, [color=7ea7d8]"Well, all of that aside I do have questions for you specifically... I'd like for you to show me your skills. This may appear sudden, but there is a burning question I'd like answered, and I feel this may be the best way"[/color], he began. Was this boy Edward a magician? Or did he have something else? Within Rodrick's hand formed a cane of ice as he put his hand outward. It was his weapon type of choice, of course his actual combat cane was in his room, but for a spar this was plenty. [color=7ea7d8]"Don't hold back, I am known to be among the best of my year back in Arcanis"[/color], he took a stance and waited. If Edward did not make a move, then he would. [@Lonewolf685] The gym hall was where a lot of types of activities took place. Ballet, gymnastics, martial arts too, and other sports like volleyball. Helena seemed to be inspecting the area, and even the integrity of the floor too. Which was sort of strange, but then she turned to Lorelai. [color=2e3192]"So you mentioned they had martial arts clubs here too? Perhaps there is equipment here?"[/color], she would inquire. There was indeed equipment here, wooden swords and staves, and so on. By Helena's request they would go and inspect the section in the back. There was always a few laying in front in case anyone with free time wanted practice. How delightfully thoughtful Helena thought to herself. [color=2e3192]"Now Lorelai, could you please stand here"[/color], she stood at the end of a square, like a ring of sorts, not that she would quite notice yet. Then Helena would step over to her side. [color=2e3192]"Could you show me your stance? Like a gallant knight?"[/color] she requested. Helena took her blade and held it in front of her, tip facing skyward, as Lorelai might take her own stance. [color=2e3192]"Very good... Now then..."[/color], there was a tense moment... Before Helena surged forth in a burst of speed, forcing Lorelai to defend herself. They would lock weapons as Helena's face, still smiling, but definitely struggling to not give an inflamed expression, [color=2e3192]"Is there something wrong with the way I eat?!"[/color] [center][h3]Seidoujima Island - Market District Field by the River[/h3][/center] [@I-Am-X] [hr] Asta and Ultana made their way to the field that was described, of course after finishing and paying for their meals. Though they had to go a bit further up as there were kids playing in the field, but soon they found a good spot. [color=6ecff6]"This shall do for now..."[/color], Asta turned around, she was a little excited, but tried her best not to show it, before a shield and spear appeared in her hands. They were made from ice. [color=6ecff6]"I'd like you to humor me a bit... Of course, with magically created weapons, they won't last long, but nothing more than a taste should be enough"[/color], she stated. She wanted to spar. [color=6ecff6]"Forgive me if this seems sudden, but I cannot help but be a little competitive"[/color].
