I imagine how it must feel,”[/color] Eris explained herself after hearing the other girl's comment, holding back the urge to chuckle after seeing her skittish behavior.

[color=palegoldenrod]“Yes, the irony of power is a tragedy worth of the grandest stage. And, if I didn't knew this to be real, I would think I'm before a character penned by the greatest playwright to ever live,”[/color] Eris sai after Hana'O introduced herself. She couldn't help but add a bit of theatrics to her own speech, bringing a hand to her chest and speaking in a dramatic voice. [color=palegoldenrod]“I'm pleased to meet you. I must admit that I find it very exotic to bear a name of such weight as yours, but it too has a kind of nostalgic beauty.”[/color]

[color=palegoldenrod]“Time flies when you're having fun, indeed,”[/color] Eris said to herself as the other girl made her leave known. [color=palegoldenrod]“Farewell, Miss Hana'O. I'm sure we'll come across each other more than once. This academy isn't so expansive, after all,”[/color] she added before following her own path.

[color=palegoldenrod]“Excuse me,”[/color] Eris said once their teacher finished his explanation of the things to come. [color=palegoldenrod]“I'm not saying that this tournament is... ill-thought, so to say. But, isn't it quite excessive to throw a hundred-or-so students out of the door all at once? Furthermore, isn't it a little more accurate to say that they throw away Class C plus for others? Since this class has always been considered the worst as far as I remember from my studies.”[/color]

[color=palegoldenrod]“Not saying that I plan on losing or anything like that but it's certainly quite inconvenient and sly,”[/color] she commented to herself.

[color=palegoldenrod]“I prefer to think of it like a pool of mercury. Formless, yet heavy, it's just a matter of pouring it on a vessel fitting to do one's bidding,”[/color] Eris commented once their teacher began giving a lecture that sounded more like he was bragging than trying to impart any knowledge upon them. [color=palegoldenrod]“In fact, combining this lecture plus an earlier encounter from today gave me quite a few interesting ideas,”[/color] she added as she made her way to a corner of the arena.

She reviewed some points in her tome as she waited for her opponent, already preparing a trick or two. [color=palegoldenrod]“My my, aren't we eager with the expellings? I imagine the paperwork for that much be truly exciting,”[/color] she said, casting a spell that had seeming no effect at all but was indeed an illusion, making her invisible while leaving a formless clone in her place.

[color=palegoldenrod]“I at least assume we aren't going to do this with lethal weapons, are we?”[/color] "Eris" said, hoping that at least they could have some training gear on hand. Controlling the power of a spell was a thing, but going all out with a bow or a blade wouldn't end well.[hr][@Blu]
