Athena beckoned her awake, as Anise lifted her head up, readjusting her glasses.  Her hair was flattened to one side, and she the side of her desk and arm was wet.  It seemed to really had just passed out on her desk.  This wasn't unusual.  In fact it was perhaps the most comfortable place for her.  It reminded her of all the times she spent late into the midnight hours studying whatever left over tomes Krampernap had left over.  She groaned as she stood up from the desk, stretching herself into a more appropriate posture.  She was supposed to be heading to class real soon.  

She pulled herself up and flicked her wrist, letting her magic gather her clothes for her as she washed off her face fixed her flattened hair.  Still didn't seem to have anyone else in her room.  She wondered if anyone else was alone in their room.  There had to be others, right?  I mean its a big school.  She was still slightly asleep as she walked off in the direction of her first class.  The Hall of Combat it seemed.  Everyone she was with yesterday was there.  Rodrick, Lorelei, Selena, Valencia, Finn, Cal, even that Ixius was here.  She yawned, still dozing off as her teacher began speaking.

Something about no magic, not failing, and not falling behind?  Whatever, follow the crowds.  Everyone is all together now.  Save your energy, no need to exhaust yourself.  She started running at a modest pace, as many of the more athletically inclined started passing her by.  That's fine.  This is all physical training.  Everyone has their own threshold, and while she wasn't unable to keep up with a few others, she didn't feel the need to at this moment.  

That was until the first shot was fired, and Anise was startled fully awake by the sudden [i]ftwang[/i] of the bow string and the comical cry of the student who thudded on the ground off the track.  Dear lord, this Sir Vermont person was mad!...  Mad was just the thing that Anise was used to!  She let out a little cackle as she sped up.  This was no longer a simple run.  This was a game.  And boy did she love games.

She sped up and soon found herself running at a similar speed as her fellow tiefling, who was clearly in distress.  [color=a187be]"Quite thrilling yes?  You get the surge of adventure to some degree without the fear of actually dying!"[/color]  She looked back to see the rude mage from before, Ixius in the back.  this put a little smirk on her face.  She watched in anticipation, expecting to see the arrow fly true, but her gaze was stolen by the gilded haired chef as he hurried back the other way hurry and, with much panache, sweep the mage off his feet, and then proceed to gain upon them again.  This turned her smirk into a pout.  [color=a187be]"Drat...  I was hoping to see him get knocked down..."[/color]  She looked back at Rodrick.  [color=a187be]"It looks like their gaining on us.  If that happens we'll be [i]two people[/i] closer to being next in line for Master Dex, yes?  Though if that were the case I wouldn't think twice about leaving my kin to the wolves!"[/color]  She let out another light-hearted cackle and sped up her pace, moving past Rodrick.
