[color=gold]“Am I supposed to go to this?”[/color] The slip of paper forced into her hand, drafting her into the mechanical gladiatorial arena for the girls who got back from patrol. Suppressing the sigh, Tesni hastily finished her ice-cream before drifting into the arena the new teacher had seemingly designed for the purpose of boring her, until the fun training dummy of the mechanical hornet materialised itself. Even as Valeria stood tall on the makeshift podium spouting off about what they all really needed, the most cursed and evil thing Tesni could imagine… [i]teamwork[/i].
Not that she had anything against the concept, really. It’s just that teamwork kinda relied on all parties involved performing at a somewhat equal level with synergistic powers of some description. And it’s hard to synergise with the comparatively mundane and not very magical fighting style of ‘hit things with a big stick’. She was about flow, forcing her flow into the battle, making the enemy fight at her pace and her pace tended to be a bit too impulsive for others to follow and adapt to. And most Pageless tended to stop if you smacked them hard enough in the right spot, regardless of how many people are there to do the hitting. Still… maybe she could still take hold of the flow of this battle, she’ll just be generous and let it flow towards the others.

[color=gold]“I’m not really sure if I’m meant to be here, but I have a ticket and I [i]suppose[/i] I should at least try and be a better ‘teammate’. Stupid tin can, hollow and noisy. Let me play with you for the sake of others, okay? [b]‘The divine root conceives, its source revealed; Mind and nature nurtured, the Great Dao is born.’[/b]”[/color] A flash and she was once again in her battle attire, her golden staff stabbed into the ground next to her, it ringing out in a clear note.

[color=gold]“Now since I’m unsure if me being here is ‘cheating’, but I was given an invitation so I suppose I might as well give some advice. Everyone should at least have a method for dealing with flying enemies. Either go up to their level…”[/color] Holding the upper end of her staff she had it lengthen, carrying her up until she was at ‘eye level’ with where the mechanical Pageless’ eyes probably should be.
[color=gold]“Or do what I prefer and… bring it down to your level where you can smash it!”[/color]  She watched Bonnie launch herself at the flying bug, seemingly having intuited the same method she had in mind.

[color=gold]C’mon Bonbon, spike it with me!” [/color]  Tesni kicked her staff backwards out from under herself and swung it up and around in an overhead chop, aiming to bring her full strength down upon the Hornet to force it to the ground.

[color=gold]“Fliers with wings tend to be weak to getting smashed from above!”[/color]
