The Safe Haven

Cole watched, eyebrow raised as his opponent made an excuse and ran off. How was she suddenly not well right after her name was called? No, he suspected that her claim was not the truth. She was afraid. He could tell from the way she had spoken. Well, it could be that she feared the battle so intensely that it caused her to be physically unwell, but not that it mattered anymore.

Great, he had not even turned into a monster yet, and he was already scaring people away. It took a moment for him to realize the awkward situation he was in, standing there by himself as the female teacher made a comment about the unexpected event. He shifted his gaze to her when she paused, internally hoping for her to promptly say something, anything else, to get him out of the uncomfortable situation, which she eventually did when she announced his new opponent.

The teacher then went over to some controls, making puddles form within the arena. So, this 'Sarah' possessed an ability that had something to do with water. Cole was not looking forward to being drowned, but then again, he had to remember to trust the teachers. His new opponent turned out to be the girl with really long hair who had cheered for them earlier on, and he turned to face her as she stepped into the arena, doing as they had been instructed to before the battle.

"My name is Cole. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss," he stated before bowing. "All the best for whatever will follow."

Haha nice, I'll edit my post and reuse the dialog for Sarah.

Well then, guess we could have Elaine run away crying right after Cole speaks to her. @Kaesus What do you think? :)

@KatherinWinter Is there going to be an NPC instructor for power development?

The Safe Haven

Cole watched in amusement as the pair that had just finished their battle went to sit together. How were they suddenly friends after trying to beat each other to a pulp? Especially when they seemed like they hated each other just minutes ago. Honestly, some people just bonded over the strangest things. His head then whipped around to look at Professor Jacob when he heard his name being called. He had not known when to expect his turn, but it had to happen sometime. He calmly rose from his seat and made his way down past the students who seemed to be enjoying the show. From what had happened in the first fight, the teachers did seem competent in keeping the students alive. With that fact in mind, he made up his mind to do his best.

He was also curious at the mention that there was a reason for the pairings chosen, and began wondering about the skill set of this 'Lain', considering his own. She turned out to be a girl he had not noticed before, and only put a face to the name when the green-haired girl, now holding a snack, offered her some words of encouragement. He nodded as a gesture of thanks to the two students who had wished the both of them luck and cheered them on before stepping into the arena.

The Safe Haven

He seemed polite enough, but she couldn't put her finger on what made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up being in close proximity to him. Honestly, whatever it was about him fascinated her. She would record his fight and study it before she truly approached him one way or another.

@Aphelion

Oh the pressure, lol.

On another note, I'm caving. Will get a post up soon.

The Safe Haven

@HylianRose Well, the start of the fight wouldn't be a show without Elaine :) I also wouldn't want to assume her reactions.

@Kazemitsu @Drakey Thanks for keeping the IC warm :D you peeps are on fire!

The Safe Haven

Wow, I'm pretty excited that Cole's up next :) , but I should probably wait for @HylianRose to catch up first.

The Safe Haven

Cole's eyes widened slightly, admittedly finding the teacher's power to be rather impressive. Was it a form of chronokinesis, or just some sort of paralyzing ability? He figured that he could ask her at another time if really was curious about it. For now, she had just instructed the two involved in the earlier disagreement to pair up and be the first ones to demonstrate their powers. The boy who had tried to mediate the fight got out of the way as soon as he was free to do so, and the green-haired girl spoke again, her bubbly demeanor suddenly disappearing, but not her confidence. She gestured to some seats outside the arena before making her way over there.

"Take me with you," Cole muttered under his breath before walking out right after her, not wanting to be caught in anything those two were about to throw at each other.

Cole could get quite a good view of the fight from outside the arena. He leaned forward in his seat, intensely watching the moves of the two individuals facing off. The dragon-like boy did not fail to surprise him as he tossed a piece of the ground at his opponent only with his wing. Cole could tell he was strong by simply looking at him, but he had no idea that he was that strong. The girl seemed to be a good match for him. Her flames spread across the area, allowing her to hide in darkness. The battle of both skill and wit continued, and Cole had to admit that the two were setting pretty high standards for the rest of them. He wondered how the rest would be paired, and especially who his opponent would be, but that would all be answered soon enough.

Hmm I don't think I have much to say here until the characters actually get to the power development room.
