[color=6ecff6]“I put all that energy in to get warmed up and you all can’t even hold on long enough to make the effort worth it.”[/color] The man sighed and kicked the student in the back which caused the teen to topple forward. Crouching down towards the teen Zane pointed the blade of his shield at the student’s face and spoke in a harsh tone towards the student. [color=6ecff6]“Even if you are in a losing fight, never show your back to your enemies. Rogues love to pick at any signs of weakness and as an Asylum you must not let your resolve waver in combat.”[/color] Zane felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see his partner who carried a concerned look on her face. With a sigh the man stood up and the two Asylums headed towards the others. [i][color=bc8dbf]’Did you have to be that harsh? He was just a kid.[/color][/i] [color=6ecff6][i]‘He lost that title the day that he was brought here.’[/i][/color] Zane said as his body started to revert back to its original size. [color=6ecff6][i]’There will be plenty of people including you to mentor and encourage them towards graduation but my intention is to give them a taste of the harshness they will come across once they leave.’[/i][/color] The two Asylums stopped as they reached the others. Zane continued as Geko chastised the students. [color=6ecff6][i] ‘Who knows, this route might lower the casualty rate of the first year Asylums wi—‘[/i][/color] Feeling a sudden shift in the room Zane halted his conversation and instinctively reached towards his back and rested his hand on the hilt of his axe as he watched the interaction between Geko and the girl. [i][color=bc8dbf]’Do you know who she is?’[/color][/i] Bella said, opening the duo’s telepathic link to Cici as she studied the girl with curiosity. Suddenly the peripheral of Bella’s vision pulsed a light brown and the ground began to shake. Before the pulse completely disappeared another flash of color, this time a few shades darker than the first color, appeared at the bottom of her vision. Instinct kicked in and with a flick of her wrist two bots the size of a dice buzzed out of her backpack and hovered three feet over the women’s head. A live feed from both cameras appeared in her vision as she quickly searched for any danger surrounding her that might have caused the sound that triggered the flash. [color=6ecff6] “Distant explosion below. No immediate danger.” [/color] Zane said, quickly informing his partner of the source of the noise. Bella gave a slight nod to her partner and her posture relaxed as she listened to Geko’s request. [color=bc8dbf]...shall we?...[/color] The voice from Bella’s glasses said to those around her before the duo started to run towards the source of the explosion. ~•~ [color=bc8dbf]”...Argument...bleeding guard… plane prisoner…”[/color] Bella informed those that were running with her. Sending her bots ahead of the duo, the woman was able to get a few extra seconds of information before they approached the scene. [color=6ecff6]”I understand your frustration however why don’t we take a moment to chill before you shoot his face off.” [/color] Zane said approaching the guard. [color=6ecff6]”Think of all the paperwork and the mess you would have to clean if you escalated things.”[/color]
