Alright. Then I take it police characters and/or other community members are also acceptable. :P

About to get hit in the face by flying lava. Again.

---

The twin streams of air that had cut clean through the fire elemental before its change continued onwards - and one immediately plowed into the ground, sending an enormous cloud of dust and shredded grass into the air as though the ground had been struck by a cannonball.

The sudden presence of lava in the middle of the platform halted Brunhilde's charge with a sharp jolt, and her focus wavered. The vacuum bubble collapsed and air rushed back into contact with her body for the first time in several minutes. Refreshing - at least, at first. But the air was hot - very, very hot. Its hand of molten stone crashed into the platform before her, sending shards of broken and burning stones all about. The creature was smarter than she had given it credit for, and it seemed to genuinely believe it had gotten the upper hand. Perhaps it had - for the moment, at least, she thought. Brunhilde's pen flew across the notepad as she scribbled an image of its new form in a split second, only to be interrupted by a ball of magma flying at her face. This was the second time she had had magma thrown in her general direction in the past week, although she couldn't remember the first. This time, however, she was slightly distracted. The magma ball would be impossible to dodge normally.

There was no time to think, and the only thing that would save her from severe injury would also be extremely painful in itself. Brunhilde was thrown backwards hard with a loud crunch, and the magma glob sailed past her face, singeing the ends of several strands of her hair. The second stream of air had swung back around and struck her in the left side, violently flinging her out of harms way. She hit the ground hard and lay there in a crumpled heap for a second to catch her breath.

Between the heat and the cracked ribs, the fight was going poorly for her. When another glob of magma arced over the platform towards her, the surge of heated air warned her of its approach, and she blasted herself back onto her feet in time to watch it splatter where her head had been. There was no easy defense against magma, unlike the fire she had so easily eaten before, and any and all distractions would be potentially deadly. The notepad and pen went sailing off the platform towards Kano and neatly landed at his feet before they were burnt to cinders - and, without the oppressive feel of the pen in her hand and in the midst of combat, she felt not only liberated, but properly alive for the first time in ages.

A few more blobs of molten stone continued flying across the stone platform, and this time, Brunhilde responded by hammering away at the elemental with spikes of extreme air pressure, each of which was so dense as to appear almost as though it were a shard of ice flying through the air. Each successful impact would blast pieces of stone and globs of lava into the air and off of the platform, only to expose more rapidly cooling lava behind it. She intended to drill through the creature and hammer it into submission - and with its own violent heat and energy, no less. At least, if she could hit it. She was too focused on staying alive to watch whether her own strikes landed.

Brunhilde didn't bother dodging and merely raised an eyebrow. Perhaps the elemental had an even worse memory than her own, or perhaps it completely lacked any semblance of rational thought whatsoever - a stream of fire was a nice display of power, but it abruptly ended at the edge of the vacuum bubble. Miniscule droplets of boiling liquid smoke continued forward through the vacuum, though, despite the flame itself being choked to death by the absolute absence of fuel, and spattered in a fine mist against the outer cover of the notepad. Part of the spray landed directly on Brunhilde's fingers, and she recoiled as though she had touched a hot frying pan.

The vacuum bubble nearly collapsed due to the sudden shock, but Brunhilde's fear of being burned to death significantly outweighed the extremely minor burn.

Using the principles of energy management that she had been taught, she gathered the heated air surrounding the stream of fire and redirected it with a force well in excess of what she could easily have conjured alone. Twin streams of shimmering winds snaked and spiraled around the elemental's stream of fire back towards its source, snowballing from tiny wisps into raging cyclones as they gathered the excess energy bleeding into the atmosphere. The movements of the air shifted slightly toward the end of the line as Brunhilde commanded the streams to not strike with deadly force, but rather run through the elemental and dissipate the heat and flame.

Without waiting for her retaliatory strike to hit the elemental, she charged toward it, leeching off of the heat of its flames to expand her own vacuum bubble. The longer it tried to burn like this, the easier it would be to smother it entirely when she got closer.

Like snuffing out a candle.

I sorta wish I'd chosen it now too, but hey, I can't really impose my own decisions on a character who wouldn't do such a thing. \o/

:P

It lacks the hardness of stone, the malleability of liquid, and the intangibility of the others. In Brunhilde's mind, it's a glass cannon.

Week Two, Day of the C.E.T.

Brunhilde gave a short wave to Kano in return, and patiently watched the other students roll in. Many of them were listed in the diary directory, some more important than others, but others were total unknowns. It was to be expected, considering how many students there were at the Academy. At the recommendation of the teacher, she had brought along a temporary notepad as well, with which to record information during the test. If it were destroyed, it wouldn't be a catastrophe - and the main diary, though reinforced with thick steel as it was, wouldn't be in harm's way during the exam.

The past week had been entertaining, as far as she could tell - not just for herself, but for all of the students present. Their lessons had clearly gone well (or very, very badly - it was difficult to determine), and a few appeared to have fresh scars, both physical and mental. The week of training had been more violent for non-Air elementalists, and she caught the jealous eye of one of the younger Fire students, who had nearly been killed three times during sparring matches with his teacher. She smiled and waved toward the vaguely hostile student and turned her attention back toward the lesson itself, which was slowing to a crawl.

A new man arrived - bald-headed and strong. He appeared to somehow know Kano, and was most likely a staff member. Brunhilde noted his presence in the main diary, as it was good to be able to identify staff members regardless of how relevant they were to her own lessons. More students came, and a quick scan of the crowd forming allowed her to identify a number of friends she had made in the past week, almost all of whom considered her more a friend than she considered them, on account of her horrid memory.

Kano's motions caught Brunhilde's attention, and she witnessed something she had never before imagined she would see in person - the formation of elementals, which as far as she was concerned, were merely creatures from stories and games. Her eyes widened in surprise momentarily - one of the few expressive tendencies they had, and quickly returned to normal as she forgot how long they had been there. The diary slowly filled with descriptions of them - and many were present.

In particular, one massive golem of shadow and light stood out, standing at a relatively impressive nine feet tall - though she imagined there were many that were significantly larger. The two elements dancing together within its form suggested that it wasn't one elemental, but rather two that had merged, for better or for worse - which would explain its stature compared to the others. She wanted to fight it more than any of the others - but, unfortunately, she had determined that air could not directly interact with light, and could not interact at all with darkness, which would leave her completely unable to harm it.

Instead, she turned toward the Fire elemental - a roughly humanoid inferno. Rock was too simple, bark far too delicate, air too familiar, and water too close to being air. Fire seemed to be the best foe for an air student like herself. The diary had requested that she leave it behind and only take the notepad, and as such, she approached Kano and Lou, who by far seemed to be the safest choices for it.

"Professor, Headmaster, would one of you please keep an eye on this during the test?"

Brunhilde leapt upon the platform and immediately sealed herself within a bubble of insulating vacuum, save for a narrow pipeline of air entering and leaving her lungs. The Fire elemental was difficult to read and predict, thanks to its lack of organic shape - but if it were capable of thinking, it would be best to strike fast and unpredictably. It would also be best to experiment some in order to determine what effects different air manipulation methods would have on it - and she wondered to herself if she would be able to control its burn rate.

In response to thoughts and feelings of command, the air outside of the vacuum bubble swirled and spiraled, with streams of gases exiting and other streams entering the center of a rapidly growing cyclone. In seconds, a rapidly spinning, foot-wide pale blue plane of condensed oxygen formed, with mist rolling off it it all about as the touching air continually froze and evaporated.

In the blink of an eye, the spinning disc of pure oxygen flung itself directly at the center of the fire elemental. Brunhilde herself stayed nearly completely motionless and expressionless, save for the scribbling of the pen across the small notepad within the vacuum bubble, waiting to see whether adding fuel to the fire would make the creature larger, hotter, or merely harm it.

Brunhilde takes the fire elemental. :P
