Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

appearance

Outside of the room known as 'hungry and sleepy', music played. And bullets silently started flying through the air. Not individually, but as a continuous stream of death. They pierced through the sheetrock, flew through couches, furniture, and even the freezer. But they tore through those things silently, their noise somehow canceled.

After about thirty seconds the shooting stopped and the door opened. If someone was looking, they would see a masked figure walking in, cane periodically tapping the ground while spinning forward. Top hat on head. And singing.

"Hello, my baby

hello, my honey,

hello. my ragtime gal!

send me a kiss by wire.

baby my heart's on fire!

if you refuse me,

honey you'll lose me,

then you'll be left alone,

oh, baby, telephone,

and tell me i'm your own."

He stopped singing, bowing in his red clothes. He raised his arms and started conducting an invisible orchestra with his cane. 9mm to .50 cal rounds started to fly through the walls to the tune of The Imperial March. More powerful beats would send in bigger shots, whereas the lighter ones sent in 9mm or even a 22.

"Rex Delens, at your service."

Meruin woke up from her nap, opening her bleary eyes slowly. It was her 33rd consecutive one since she met that girl this morning, with each occuring nap coming after intervals as short as qn hour before she was asleep again at a different area. She frowned deeply. Even for her that was unusual. She slept often, but she was never sloth-like until now anyway. Her initial thoughts were that she had skimmed out on sleep a lot later than usual, but she dismissed those ideas; she slept no later than usual for her, no, her instincts told her it was something else, something to do with that girl . . .

She cut her line of thought abruptly as she looked up at the skies. The deep, cloudless, starry skies. She blinked back the sleepiness in her eyes and stared with an expression that was almost disbelief.

Oh. I've been asleep longer than I thought.

The tiny waif of a mage got up from her spot on top of a bookshelf. Hm, so she had fallen asleep inside the Library. Which also meant she was close enough to the accounting department. She could ask for her dorm number there and save herself the trouble of sleeping outdoors for the night.

With a light hop, Meruin descended from the bookshelf. It was a good distance from the floor, and Meruin wasn't confident in her physical prowess to take the fall, but a quick transmutation of a table directly beneath her turned it into an elevated platform rendered the problem moot.

Without further preamble, Meruin proceeded to the students accounting.

---

It turned out that the accounting lady was less than pleased to be disturbed this late in the evening, and delayed giving Meruin her room number with an articulate yet vulgar rank. Meruin scarcely paid attention to it, though she did not that she was warned to be careful. So there was something afoot this night that she had to be careful of. Who's fault was it this time, she wondered. A good number of students were capable of causing widespread chaos, especially if they were a Pythones mage. A summoning gone wrong was a common occurrence at the academy, and it was usually the fault of some overconfident mage.

Of course, it was also entirely possible for this to be the Directors fault. Meruin wouldn't put it past him to create some nonsensical scheme.

No matter the danger, however, Meruin needed to get to her dorm, and more importantly, her bed.

So she walked through the night, through empty hallways, looking for her room.

She had been walking for an hour or so, when she heard the sound. It sounded like singing. The singing was coming from near her room, and moreover, it was a males voice. Unusual, as this was the female's dorm. Perhaps it was a pervert? Or else it could be a visiting lover. Either way, whoever he was, he should not have been here. Meruin frowned as she considered something else - this could be the Director's doing. Perhaps this was the danger she was warned of earlier? Did the Director finally give in to his demented urges and sent out his legions of summoned demonic perverts?

Meruin was half-sure that he did, but best to see for herself what was going on.

She stepped into view of her room, and what she saw made her raise a brow.

"I see. It seems my assumption was correct."

In front of her, standing at the threshold of her room, was a pervert. He had all the trappings of one: The mask, the top hat, the suits and tight pants. He stood conducting an unseen orchestra directing . . .

Narrowing her eyes, Meruin reassessed her situation. This was not a pervert. This was a threat, and it was ripping through her room. That could only mean that he was a threat. Backing up, she put a large amount of space between them; hopefully he hadn't noticed her. Meruin was unprepared for battle, which was the worst possible situation. She thrived on preparation. Still, she had to make solidify her position and assess the situation. That meant stalling for time.

Meruin transfigured the floor in front of her to form a thick wall, and on the floor in front of it, she drew her mark. Afterwards, she ran as fast as she could, stopping occasionally to write runes on the walls, as much as she could. She had to set up her territory before she began any kind of engagement. In the unlikely occasion that the man was not hostile, then she would need total control over their meeting.

This was not what she expected on her first day back to the Academy.

---

Reina had been peacefully sound asleep like any good girl should have. She slightly squinted her eyes even closer than they already were in annoyance at the sound of the bullets piercing through various objects. Luckily for her nothing had hit her yet when you clearly would have suspected for it to happen. Reina opened her eyes a little to see what the weird sounds were, her mouth was slightly agape as she turned around to look at the whole room. She didn't see anything off in particular but that might have been the haziness in her eyes but that must had been from her sleep just now. The room looked rather destroyed by the bullet rain and mostly everything seemed to have been hit by it.

A man with a mask had entered the room of the sleeping beauties and caused quite a ruckus already. When he began singing Reina drowsily rubbed one of her eyes as she supported herself up with the other hand. Her eyes were still half closed and her hair only looked a little messy from the rolling in her sleep but it wasn't her morning hair either. The light from the hallway blinded her half and made it a little more difficult to look at the man with the mask. The darkness from the room made his mask almost black with the creepy smile still visible. It made it hard to determine who it was.

"Who's there?"

She tiredly and shyly said. The man stopped singing as he introduced himself. Reina started realizing what was happening right now. She properly sat up on her bed as she raised the sheets in front of her sweet pink pyjamas that had small white frilly ends to every limb. A red blush had appeared onto her face from the embarrassment of a boy seeing her like this.

"H-how dare you!"

It suddenly came to mind that the wall behind the man was pierced with holes in various sizes and that it kept continuing. Every hole in the wall lighted the room with more light from the hallway. When Reina noticed they were bullets that had been piercing the walls she ducked under the sheets and curled up in a tiny ball so the chance would become smaller that the bullets would hit her. She had no chance against this man. How would she be able to defeat this man in this small of a room without making herself look like cheese. Reina bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly as the bullet rain continued and even passed close by her from time to time.

---

Wrapped up in her blanket, little Jo gazed up at the blank ceiling. It had been a pretty eventful day and the best probable thing to do was to get some proper sleep. The problem was, Jocelyn could hardly sleep. At all. For some odd reason.

Rolling around under her blanket, Jocelyn thought back to the moments she had spent talking with her new 'friend' Vera. At least little Jo actually knew what this 'Eye of Baphel' was now. And at least she'd made a new acquaintance today too.

An eye that grants the user extreme magic power… It really is quite scary…

On the topic of her new acquaintance, the Vera girl seemed normal enough. Surprisingly, she was a bit similar to Jocelyn herself, both being from the same country and both being only children to a rich household. Someone to relate to and someone who was neither annoying nor silent; pretty much the perfect acquaintance according to Jocelyn's standards. Now she had less of a chance of possibly being trampled over like an ant for the rest of this Magnus Games event.

Jocelyn would keep friends with this girl. For now, anyways.

Shutting her eyes, the little girl tried forcing herself to sleep. The least she wanted was to end up being late for her very first lessons and make a fool of herself on her very first day. Well, technically second. Thankfully, after a few minutes passed the girl had drifted off to sleep.

Only about two minutes later the girl's eyes snapped open. She stared at the wall her bed was propped up against, putting a hand to her stomach.

This unsettling feeling… Could it be…?

Jocelyn shot out of bed, scampering out of her blanket. She held onto her stomach, staring towards the door. Not exactly the door to the hallway, though.

I need to pee.

After she'd finished with her business, Jocelyn rinsed her hands before exiting the toilet. Damn, it had been such a busy day she had even forgot to pee.

Then, a blast of music shot through Jo's ears.

She froze in her spot, her hand ready to grab the doorknob. Jocelyn wasn't going to lay a finger on it, though. Her eyes widened, small beads of sweat trailing down the sides of her face.

What… What on earth is this? Circus music?

A bullet came out nowhere and pierced through the bathroom door, just inches above Jocelyn's head. Holding her breath, the young girl backed away from the door, viewing the hole the bullet had made on it and the ones appearing after it. Her eyes were so wide they looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets.

This singing… Someone's out there! But it's not just anyone normal person… If it were just a random intruder with a gun he would have just shot us and ran, not start up his own carnival concert in our dorm room. It has to be a mage! I know it!

Jocelyn took in deep breaths as she continued to think, her back pressed against the wall. At least the shooting had stopped now. This was her chance to think of a proper plan.

Then, an idea sparked in her head. Crouching down, Jocelyn whispered a few words:

"I call you, Patricia, Octavia."

In the blink of an eye, two women appeared on the bathroom floor, just beginning to stir from their sleep. The smaller blonde woman raised her head, completely oblivious to what had just happened outside. The white haired woman on the other hand just blinked, swiveling her head around to check her surroundings.

"Hu-Huh? Where… am I?" the blonde muttered.

"Is this... Wait, L-Lady Jocelyn? What are you-"

The little girl clamped her two hands over the women's mouths to hush them. Before Jocelyn spoke she span her head around towards the door again, stared back with a slightly panicked look on her face.

"I don't have time to say anything irrelevant so I'll take questions any other type of questions later," Jocelyn said, almost too fast for Octavia and Patricia to understand. "There's a mage outside and he's shooting bullets all around our dorm room. I don't know who it is, or what it is, but it's a threat to us and we must act quickly and get rid of it. I sincerely apologise that I've woken you two up at such a late time, but there's a zero percent chance that I'll be able to defeat this person with just my Pythones magic alone. Soundless bullets against my water-made kingfishers isn't exactly the best battle strategy."

"Judging by this blaring music and these flying bullets this person is most likely a Praestigiae and Contritio mage. I honestly don't mean to offend you Patricia, but why summon the two of us, Lady Jocelyn? He's able to use two schools yet you didn't summon someone stronger like Sabrina or Hannah?"

"I was fully aware that you would find my plan to be flawed, Octavia, so I'll explain my plan to the both of you as fast as possible. There's still someone out there who could be hurt, so summoning you was a must. If I was to get hurt then your magic would come in handy as well. Patricia on the other hand should be fast enough to evade the mage's bullets, so that would be very useful too. And, well… you know Hannah. Waking her up at this time is like writing my own death sentence."

"But… But Milady, you could've summoned someone like Sabrina or Hannah, just like what Octavia said. Those two are much stronger than the two of us combined-"

"That's not the point, Patricia," Jocelyn interrupted. "If I were to summon Sabrina or Hannah then that's 3/4 of my mana already gone. Yes, any of those two would be able to beat the opponent much easier, but if I got hurt then I won't have enough mana left to summon Octavia. If I were to pass out during this chaotic situation then Sabrina would have to drag me around so I don't get a bullet to the head. Who knows how many of those bullet-wielding mages there are causing a commotion in the other dorm rooms? Sabrina's strong, yes, but the risks are just too great."

Patricia looked down, a bit hurt by Jocelyn's words. The little girl smiled, placing her hand on the woman's.

"I-I'm sorry Milady, I didn't mean to-"

"No, it's absolutely fine. You were worried and I can understand that. But if we're going to make it out of this room alive then this plan must succeed. I trust and believe in the both of you, Octavia, Patricia. I know two you won't fail."

Standing up, Jocelyn looked towards the door. "There's a wall that should block the mage's view so hopefully we won't be spotted. Now, it's about time I put my plan into action."

------------

"Are you sure about this, Milady?"

The short blonde woman glanced around the wall, watching as the man conducted his bullets around the room. The white-haired Octavia stooped down and whispered to Patricia.

"Lady Jocelyn knows what she's doing. You can trust her, Patricia. I can guarantee that this plan won't fail. It's a very good plan if I do say so myself~"

"All you have to do is try and grab his mask, hat and that wand thing in his hand one at a time. You'll be able to put your speed to use here so he won't see you. If he's without a catalyst then he can't use his magic anymore. It's got to be one of those three items I just listed. It has to be."

Again, Patricia looked on, trembling. Jocelyn placed a hand on her shoulder, sending her a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, Patricia. You can do this. You know where to hide. Good luck."

Swallowing her fear, Patricia crouched. With a burst of speed, she sprinted past the masked man, swiping his hat away in a flash. No, that didn't stop it. She then went in for the mask, ripping it off his face. It was at this time that the mage was getting rather pissed. He gazed around the room, searching for… well, anything unusual. The girl he had introduced himself to before was still shaking in bed and he had no idea where the other two girls were at. Someone -no, something- had just swiped the mask off his face. What was it? Where was it?

Swoosh!

His conducting stick was gone.

"Do it, Patricia!"

Too shocked to act, the unmasked man was met with a lightning fast lunch to the stomach. The suited mage doubled over, but he managed to keep himself from falling to his knees.

Jocelyn ran across to one of her dorm mate's bed, shaking large lump under the blanket. Her face was written over entirely with concern.

"Hello? Are you hurt? Please, answer me!"

---

Rex Delends noticed the girl escaping behind him, and was prepared to start a new tune just for her. That was until he was slammed in the chest by some terrible force. He recovered, but his mask was gone. And his hat. And his conducting stick. An enraged face appeared where the mask had been.



Anger flowed through him, as he teleported behind Patricia and pulled out a smaller conducting stick than his cane. Rocket propelled grenades flew through the air to the tone of mozart, at Patricia and the wall constructed behind her. He whisked the stick through the air in the opposite direction, sending a hailstorm of bullets through the hallway Meruin was running in and to the other side of Patricia, trying to cut off her escape.



For now, Jocelyn and Reina were safe, with only a few bullets flying by them.

---

Everything was happening faster than the speed Patricia was going at. The time between the punch she had thrown at the suited psycho and her almost getting blown up by a grenade was a literal millisecond. In an attempt to run back to Octavia the little woman stopped and ducked, shrieking as the grenades exploded behind her.

---

Meruin "tsk'ed" in response to the hail of bullets flying at her. So he had noticed her after all. How troublesome. Well, at least this confirmed his intent - he was definitely a hostile. Seeing the hailstorm of bullets come at her, Meruin slid her hand across the floor, filling it with mana.



The problem with bullet swarms was their inefficieny, she thought. So many bullets, so little chance that all of them would actually hit the target. She understood the concept. It was from way back when arrows were still the norm - if you flooded the sky with arrows, then no doubt that someone in the opposing army would get hit. Against a single person, however, it was a waste of arrows - or bullets, as the case maybe. No matter how many projectiles came, there were only a certain few that were gauranteed to hit her, and it was against those few that Meruin would concentrate her defense,



As she turned around, she activated the latent mana she had injected into the floor, transmuting it into a line of walls that continuouslt sprung up behind her. It covered her back - the only actual spot that could be hit, and she kept running, slapping sheets of paper left and right. She frowned. She was getting tired already; in the first place, she was not fond of physical activity, and it showed. Meruin was probably below average when it came to fitness. She considered working out once, but decided against it - ultimately, it was simply not her thing.



. . . and she was also going off tangent again.



In any case, she turned around, ready to face this not-so-masked foe. Her territory was small, but it would do for now. It seemed that she was not his only target for the night, which was good. She could make use of that.



Meruin began forming the parameters for her spell in her head.



Targets: four

Include: male, females

Inferential disparity in relation to perception set at 100%

Spell set timed at approximately three minutes



Meruin frowned. Three minutes . . . she was slower than than intended. Strange, strange and also dangerous. Something had definitely affected her earlier, and she had a sneaking suspicion it had to do with that little girl she met earlier today. That requires more investigation . . .



She began the chant for her spell, her eyes trained to where her opponent was, eye intently drinking in every detail.

---

The marching music suddenly stopped by the actions of the familiar from Jocelyn. Reina blinked a few times under the sheets pondering to herself what was happening in the room around her. She wanted to go and look but was still to afraid that the man in the room would still be there to hurt Reina and her room mates. It was a weird thing, thinking on why he would attack this particulair room. Another bullet flew close past Reina making her realise that the magic of the masked man hadn't completely stopped yet. She squinted her eyes close again hoping it was just a bad dream. Out of nowhere someone had touched her. Her eyes immediatly sprung to panic mode as screamed internally. Maybe if she pretended that she was dead the man would leave her alone but when she suddenly heard the concerned girl her voice her head sprung up. Reina immedialy seemed to have calmed down by the soothing voice of the girl. Her expression brightened up a little as she raised the sheets from her small frame. A small blush was shown on her face as she sat upright and faced the girl. She gave a reasuring nod that she was fine at the girl and gave a small smile towards her that it wasn't a lie.

---

Feel the power of Yuri! (Not Canon)

Meruin looked on with undisguised interest at the scene playing before her. Amidst a hailstorm of death, it seemed even love could bloom. She was not particularly inclined to the feeling of love - but she was aware of its importance, and so every chance she got, she observed and noted instances of budding romance, like the one unfolding in front of her at this moment.



She noted the blush, the adjustment in posture, and the reassurance from despair. She noticed how flowers bloomed in the background, and how the bullets turned into cherry pink petals that floated on the non-existant wind. From the moment the two girls eyes met, Meruin could see a faint glow begin to eminate from their chests, that slowly began to expand. Meruin covered her eyes. It was too bright!



The man with the mask could scarcely defend himself against the pure and innocent power that bloomed between them. The blood turned in his body heated up and turned pick, moving so quickly through his veins as his soul was excited by the POWER OF LOVE! His baton turned into a pure white Lily, and he fell to his knees in awe, his legs no longer able to support him under the weight of the world.



Their world.



The world that contained only the two of them.



Meruin wondered if she would ever be able to find love like that. A love so powerful in rendered all magic nothing more than mere party tricks. Her heart-rate sped up as never before-thought thoughts of romance appeared in her mind.



"Yes," she thought, "love! Love is the answer! Love is the true magic!"



White hot tears were shed unbidden, and Meruin looked into the horizon of the rising sun, heart filled with hope.



Now she needed to find someone to kiss.

---

"N-no, not in the least, I'm fine... I think we maybe should get out of here before we really do get hurt."

She gave an awkard smile at the girl and stood up from her bed. It was a little awkward for someone else to see her in her pyjamas like that but it was a girl atleast so it wasn't as terrible as it seemed to be. Yet the bullets kept passing close by the two. It was a miracle they hadn't been hit yet but you didn't hear her complain about it in the least. Reina spotted the not so masked man. He seemed to have lost some of the items he had at first, mostly his mask of course. He only seemed focussed on Meruin and Patricia at the moment so Reina and Jocelyn had time to think up a plan.

---

"I see," Jocelyn replied, nodding. Good. At least this girl wasn't one of the things in the room with bullet holes indented into their surface.

Little Jo's eyes widened as she spotted the grenades flying past the blonde familiar and into the wall, exploding upon contact. A blizzard of bullets was bad enough, but come on, grenades?

"If this person isn't going to hold back with his extravagant attacks, then I won't either!"

Jocelyn raised her arms, concentrating her mana into them. Around her scrawny arms appeared four birds of water, two on each side.

"Patricia, stay down!"

Even if I can't hit him, the least I can do is distract him with these birds!

And with that said, the birds flew off, hurtling towards the suited psycho.

Rex countinued to peacefully conduct his orchestra, welcoming Meriun upon her return. "Welcome home sweetheart. Glad you returned for your treats!" The madman began launching Rocket propelled grenades at Meriun as well, making sure each one had their fair share of explosive death. If the fast woman headed towards him again, he would try to teleport out of the way.

---

Meruin kept chanting, even as the rockets approached her. The rockets headed in for the collision, about to touch her body. Meruin opened her eyes, and broke down the rockets into their base parts - in a sense, they were still "rockets" but "disassembled"; so long as it could be transmuted, she would break it down once it was close enough to approach her.



She looked at the disassembled rocket parts then back at the masked man. With a crack of light, the rocket reassmbled itself, and a fuse was lit - now the rockets were headed towards him instead.

---

This apparently surprised him. He forced himself to teleport again, this time behind the woman. "You are skilled, my lady! Seems to be a reason boss sent me for you!" A New Song started playing, and the man sung along as flames began to fly from the walls, as if shot by ten flamethrowers.

"TROGDOR!

TROGDOR!

Trogdor was a man

I mean, he was a dragon man

Or maybe he was just a dragon

But he was still TROGDOR!

TROGDOR!

Burninating the countryside,

Burninating the peasants

Burninating all the peoples

And their thatched-roof COTTAGES!

THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!

Woah, this has wicked dueling guitar solos!

It's like, Squeedly versus Meedley over here.

Go Squeedly!

Go Squeedly!

SQUEEDLY WINS!

When all the land is in ruin,

And burnination has forsaken the countryside,

Only one guy will remain.

My money's on TROGDOR!

TROGDOR!

And theTrogdor comes in the NIIIGHT..."

Smoke filled the room, which was surprisingly fireproofed.

---

Reina noted that the not so masked man was talking to somebody else that appeared to be in the hallway area. She looked at hallway and indeed saw another girl she had never seen before running around dodging the attacks that the man was trowing at her. Suddenly the sound of a lot more explosion being shot erupted from the hallway and somewhat startled Reina. She hoped the girl could handle herself and looked quite concerend about it if she was still alright.

"I'm going to help that girl."

Reina starting running towards the hallway with both her hands bundeld up in front of her chest. Her hair swung from left to right as her feet pattered on the floor. As soon as she wanted to walk out of the room rockets flew past her and exploded further into the hallway. Reina stammered back balancing herself with both her hands. It was a close call, if she had been out there she would likely have been duplicated serveral times in tinier bits across the hallway.

Mood music

Reina got herself together again and stepped outside the room the man began singing again but this time a very strange and terrible song. Flames erupted out of the wall like flamethrowers had been there all this time. Reina knew what she had to do.

"Get back in the room! Now!"

Reina gave the girl only a few seconds time before she deeply exhaled one last time with her hands still bundled up on her chest. She started inhaling all the air around her, her mouth grew in width and soon a small red/purple tornado started forming from her mouth it grew in size and had taken occupied part of the hallway. All the flames and smoke that were being made from the magic flame throwers were sucked up into her mouth. The chants that Meruin had placed close by the area were Reina was at were being sucked up too just like the mana from anyone that was still in the hallway.

---

As soon as her roommate's mouth expanded to the size of Australia, Jocelyn scampered off somewhere else to shelter herself from, well, being sucked in. She didn't know the capabilities of this girl's black hole for a mouth, but it was best to play it safe. Zooming across the floor, Patricia managed to make it to Jocelyn's side when the girl called for her to escape.

At this point, Rex was starting to worry. The girls could reverse his rockets, steal his mask, and eat his fire.

Time for his final move.

He simply decided to teleport behind Jocelyn and whack her upside the head with his conducting stick.

Of course, little Jocelyn wasn't exactly the strongest of people. Well, in a physical sense anyway. One harsh blow from the mage's conducting stick knocking her out.

Rex gave the girls a harsh smile. "I hope you choose to take care of your friend. I'll have another date with you later, princesses." A wave of his conductor's wand, a few bullets, and a teleport later he was gone.

Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

@Zombehs Our post speed XD?

Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

@Rune_Alchemist What do you mean, there was so much more we could have done!

@liferusher I advise you refresh the page, added a bit more for shikio at the top of that post.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli Cmon, your RP just inspired us to reach our limits!

Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

'And' her master Lin~

As Shikio had finished her meal that Lin had bought for her she was quite satisfied. And yet as she followed him around for the reminder of the day the evening would soon settle in. As they were appoaching Lin's dorm Shikio were pondering about staying by his side or not, she wanted to be close to him yet realix she haden't checked out her own supoosed room yet.

Uncertainty settled in her and a bit of curiosity crept over. Eventually she decided that she would give him a chance to miss her rather than just counting on her being there. Sighing slightly she looked to Lin "Lin... Wait" she said a bit uncertainty at first.

Yet she approached him slowly at first. " There's... Something i need to tell you" she said as she drew closer, her tail slightly raised and wagged as she closed the distance between them and eventually she quickly snuggled up towards him gaving him a glomp. "Good night... Master... she said as she leaned in and gave his left cheek s big lick as she hugged him tightly.

She then let go and backed off again.""I'm... Going to my room than..." she said as she somewhat jogged of with a curious spring to her steps and tail still slightly raised.

Lin raised an eyebrow to Shikio's suddenly being so calm and kind of submissive. It was odd to see the self-proclaimed alpha female acting like this.

"W-What the hell?! D-Don't just suddenly lick my cheek, you...!" What, it was kind of a goodbye kiss? Well, she's a dog, so Lin couldn't really blame her. "You don't need to be all gloomy and odd like that. One woman sleeping in the same room as me is enough for me, thank you. I really really did not expect for you to sleep in the same room as me."

Lin scratched the back of his head.

"Keep an eye on your roommates. Someone among them might have that Eye." He warned Shikio, before turning on his heel and walking towards his own dorm, while lazily waving goodbye at Shikio.

Shikio glanced back slightly to see if he followed her or not, but as she noticed him waving to her and having heard his complaints she but smiled to him. She raised her tail fully shot it out slight while leaning over to give him a rather full good pose while licking her lips. "Well excuse me for not asking permission to show master my love~" she called back to him before retreating again at a light jog far beyond full speed.

It seemed she at the moment was giving him quite the show just for a chance that he could chase after her... Or call her over, or even possibly make him angry. It didn't change the fact that she felt it were unfair that he simply could summon her from wherever, but she couldn't do the opposite... Not that he seemed to do that, as he always made her come find him.

As Lin were out of sight her tail dropped again and she slowly kicked the ground as she made it back towards her dorm knowing full and well it was very unlikely that he would try something that was out of his way.

After a heart breaking departure from her master, Shikio had slowly sat out towards her room after settling down from the spring she had in her steps when she left. Perhaps now she just took it slow because she wanted Lin to be able to catch up to her on the off chance he actually would want to spend the night with her. The other reason was simply because it took a while for her to read on each door, and to compare it to her note. Yet after a bit of trouble she would eventually find the room she was supposed to stay in.

As she looked at the door from outside she felt a tad more anger than before, the room was way too far away from her pack member Lin, and had the scent of at least two others she didn't know... In other words she had been stuffes into a kennel of some kind and that fact annoyed her. Frustrated she paced around in a circle before eventually calming down. Sighing she reached for the handle and opened the door before stepping inside.

At that point she simply decided to try to play nice and in worst case run back to Lin with her tail tucked between her legs.

"Hello?... I'm Shikio... I'm... Supposed to stay here" she said as she looked around the room for signs of life.

---

Lyssa had been content. Sitting cross legged on the bed, noisily slurping down the last of the milkshake and trying to get every last bit of delicious goodness she could out of it. 'Twas a vain, effort, however, for she had already drunk just about all of it she could. Wasn't going to stop her from trying to squeeze a few more out, though.

...mostly because she was actually getting kind of bored. The room had absolutely nothing here that she could play with. Not a video game console in sight. Not even a laptop or something. Seriously, what kind of school was this to deny someone their basic necessities? A laptop with a decent internet connection should be standard! Standard!

Finally deciding she had gotten all out of it she could, she smacked her lips. Damn, that was actually a pretty good milkshake. She tossed the now empty Styrofoam cup onto the desk. With a stretch, she sighed, leaning back down on her bed with a dull thump as her body hit the covers. Blegh, how was she supposed to entertain herself? Practicing her magic was a no-no indoors. She might lose focus and accidentally the floor. Or all. Or everything. That'd be bad.

Suppose she'd have to go outside then, if she wanted to practice. She was a bit concerned she'd miss her pillow, but well, if she got back before she did and was asleep?...well, then she couldn't say no, hehe~

However, just before she set off to find a quiet, secluded place to go train her arts, the handle turned. Was Iravis back already? Darn, her perfect plan to get a cuddly pillow had been foiled!

...at least that was her thought until she eyed the fluffy, impossibly adorable creature before her. Dear gods...could something be so cute?! And fluffy! Just look at that tail! And those ears! The demon couldn't resist. Wait no. She should introduce herself first. That was the polite and friendly thing to do. Impulse control Lys, impulse control.

"Uhm, Hihi. I'm Lyssa." She said walking up to Shiko. "But uhm...last name's not important...."

Yep, impulse control failed. Without another word, she grabbed Shiko's tail, quickly kneeling down and burying her face in it.

---

Shikio soon noticed the other girl in the room and felt slightly more relaxed on the notion that at least she was not staying with a male, however it didn't mean it wouldn't be any fighting... on that notion she knew that some females were a lot more to deal with than simple minded males. The other female spent little time minding her own business and seemed to quickly approach Shikio, an act that first made her wary of the female's intentions. She introduced herself as Lyssa with her last name not being important which it of course weren't, however she still approached Shikio and even if Shikio didn't sense any hostility from Lyssa she was still somewhat on her guard... however Lyssa walked slightly past Shikio making her ears fold back as she wondered if the girl was about to sniff her butt or something which would be a bit odd as she only knew that pack members usually did that... But no... like a pup Lyssa grabbed and started rubbing towards her tail.

"Aaaah, it's so fluffy!" The demon loudly, and definitely happily exclaimed. "It's so soft and warm!"

Shikio flinched slightly as she glanced to the other female who called her tail fluffy, calling it soft and warm... Shikio was to say the least surprised over the other female's actions, she haden't taken her for a kid at first but now she seemed to be so all over her tail that she considered that fact. She stood watching the other girl for quite a few moments before taking action, after all it took her a while to decide what to do as many thoughts about how to react floated to her mind. She didn't want to start a fight over someone who didn't seem to try to hurt her, quite frankly it was a bit odd but a good kind of odd to be recognized in such fashion. However the fact remained that she couldn't just 'let' the other female touch her without permission either, because that meant she allowed her to walk all over her which weren't a good thing at all.

Thus she decided to slowly turn around towards the girl, stepping over her own tail as a slight twist to it didn't bother her so much. Then she would gently lean forward towards the other female and place her own hands on the girls shoulders.

"Excuse me Miss Lyssa... but that's my tail..." she said before pushing the other girl down on the floor and settling above her in a quite dominant fashion, like a canine lecturing their pup or at least a pup of their pack. At this time she paid notice to the other female having horns and wings making her first think that she was a creature connected to some kind of cattle animal, but at the same time cattle didn't have wings... perhaps that was just a miss transformation.

"Yes it is your tail and it's so warm and fluffy and adorable." She stated, still rubbing her face into Shiko's tail, until she found herself being pushed towards the ground. The demon let out a disappointed whine. That tail had been fluffier than Iravis could ever possibly be. Not quite as warm, but that felt like it'd make a very good pillow. She looked up at Shiko, giving her the best adorable pout she could possibly muster.

Wolf and cattle in the same room, who would have thought?... it sounded like a bad idea to Shikio as she might end up trying to eat the other girl if she grew hungry. However as the other female so rudely had touched Shikio's tail without permission she decided to grab the bull by the horns... or so to speak, as she grabbed the other girls horns and touched them in return even while sitting over her.

"now we're even..." she said actually laughing slightly as she found this 'game' to be quite fun, it had been too long since she had played with anyone and it was a fun change. And in that moment she decided to look a lot more nicely at their actively, to be friendly was a good idea and she didn't mind playing around a bit.

"Even? My horns aren't cute and fluffy." She harrumphed, giving the other girl a small pout as though that made perfect since.

Thus she let the other girl go and got off her after freeing her own tail, she then brushed it of and turned to help the other female up on her feet if she wanted too. Smiling quite playfully as she looked to her

"I'm a Fenrir just so you know... are you some kind of winged Bison?. Do you know that Fenrir eat cattle?... I mean I'm not gona try to eat you... unless I get really hungry I guess, but I think master would be sad if I ate my room mates" she said as she pondered about the possibilities. This time however she was more prepared if the girl would try to go for her tail again, or simply touch her. She would leap to the side and start to giggle as she would playfully keep her distance in case it would turn into a fun game of chase.

"I'm not a bison! I'm a demon!" She replied, giving Shiko a friendly smile. A fenrir, though? wasn't that some sort of dog person? So...Shiko was a puppy! A cute little puppy that would probably like some ear scratches! "Alchimia mage, too!" But that, that was unimportant. That fluffy tail demanded to be used as a pillow, and damn it if she wasn't going to use it as one! First, distract Shiko.

"They are kinda cute..." she mumbled as she listened to what the girl said, so she weren't a Bison but a Demon?... whatever a Demon was it apperently had both horns and wings and was still cattle. So it didn't really matter at all if she weren't a Bison in the end. "OH... I don't think I ever eaten Demon before... are you tasty?..."

"Lyssa...uh, yeah, my last name is a mouthful. Not even gonna try. Don't think I'm tasty though, silly." She giggled with a small smile. "So you're our roommate right? And you know what roommates do? Let them pet that fluffy tail!" Instead of going right for the tail this time, she instead tackled Shiko. "Come oooon, it's so fluffy! let me pet iiiiiit!"

"Yeah... I'm Room mate I guess... and... oh!" She replied as she quickly realized this was her que to evade The Cattle girl who tried to bull charge her and instead leaped skipped to the side while laughing.

"Olé" she cheered as she swished with her tail like a matador playing with a bull. she then held it like a red cape except it was still blue and laughed even further.

"Aww, get back here! Let me pet iiit!~" Lyssa giggled quite loudly as she missed. If she was being serious, she definitely could have gotten the other girl considering her martial training, buuut....where would the fun in that be?

"Only if you catch me~"she replied in turn as she backed off to create some distance from the girl even if she certainly were having a blast. However she changed her mind about running from the bull, she felt slightly predatorial about it and instead quickly dashed closer to her and attempted to pounce on the Cattle girl in return, that sounded even more fun in her head, and that way she could bite her horns or something.

Lyssa stood up, turning around and intending to make another leap at the girl, but it seemed Shiko was just a tiny bit quicker.

"My turn~" the fernir said mid-leap as she would tried to pin the girl on her back so that she would have the advantage. Shikio moved swiftly eager to play with this girl, and as she had the chance to pin her to the ground again she took it with a briliant smirk. Lyssa didn't have much time to react at all as Shikio tackled her, sending her to the ground with a small yelp. The wolf was on top of her, pinning her to the ground, and unless she got clever, she had just lost this little brawl. Tsk. Well, she couldn't say she found the situation entirely unfavorable.

"Owie." She giggled. "Looks like I lost. So, I guess you get to use me as a pillow if you want."

"He-he... Giving up already?... very well as you offer I might as well do that then~"She did think it was a bit too easy so far however, the wolves back home offered a bit more of a struggle than giving up and not wrestling like this girl did. She looked around the room, it looked like there was but one bed in it and even if that mattered little to her she glanced back to the cattle girl whom had to pick their bedding then... after all it seemed it might be high time for them to sleep. "So... you want to sleep right here on the floor?... back there in that corner or do you actually want to use the bed?" she asked as she didn't really know what to think about it, she thought she would just curl up here and lay down on the girl if she picked this spot anyway.

"We~ll."Lyssa replied with a happy hum. "I don't really mind being used as a pillow. Or having you on top of me, so win win, I'd say!~" She giggled. She could have very well put up a better fight if she wanted too, but she didn't want too. She was honestly a bit tired, and as fluffy as that tail was...she'd get it another night. Still, she wasn't exactly done yet. She reached up towards one of Shiko's ears, and began to playfully scratch the back of it.

Shikio let out a heart warming laughter once more as the female replied that she didn't mind having her on top of her... what an odd thing to say, but Shikio figured that dominance didn't matter as much to this girl as it did to her, which was a good thing as that way it was easy to establish. Nodding her head as the cattle girl submitted she were just about to reply to her when her mouth suddenly fell shut and her ear flicked to the touch of it, at first she were surprised... but soon a grin crept across her face once more as she leaned into the ear scratching and her tail started wagging. Shifting slightly Shikio got down closer to the Cattle girl so that she could reach better, loving each second of it even if she said nothing to admit it.

Lyssa had to refrain from asking who a good puppy was. As funny as it might have been, she wasn't sure Shiko would have liked it. So instead, she simply continued the motion as a languid grin formed on her lips. It was rather obvious the other girl liked that at least. Honestly, she wouldn't have minded falling asleep like this. Shiko certainly was comfortable, and well...Iravis wasn't here, so she couldn't use her as a pillow. So might as well make the best of it!~

As if on cue, Iravis walked in the room, looking quite a bit flustered. This of course, only earned a small giggle from Lyssa.

---

The Phoenix had finished up her walk back to the dorm from her visit with Sir Alistar at the library. The legendary bird yawned as she entered the dorm building, ready to get some sleep. Used to living alone, she opened the first door on the left without knocking and stepped into the dorm room.

The bed was empty, but it was easy enough to find the demon, considering how loud they were. The Phoenixes eyes drifted towards the floor, where she saw Lyssa beneath another woman.

This other woman was probably their roommate. She had some features of a wild beast, with large wolf ears and a luxurious tail. Holo's pack? Fernir? I'm guessing she's from a region further north than I. But what she was didn't really matter to Iravis at that moment. What mattered was how she was on top of Lyssa, pinning her to the ground. It looked like they had just finished wrestling, and were getting 'comfortable'. The Phoenix's cheeks turned to the color of fire. The embarrassed girl turned away, left hand checking that the door was closed behind her.

---

Shikio rubbed her head towards Lyssa's chest as she half laid down on her, just about finding some really soft pillows for herself as the door opened and another female stepped in.

"Did I intrude on you two greeting eachother?" The goddess tried to sound aristocratic, but her tone couldn't manage it and her voice cracked a little. Startled again, Shikio put her hands in front of her ready to leap not kinda thinking where those hands/paws would end up.

"....Errr... Hi... I'm Shikio, Room mate... we're deciding on sleeping arrangements... you can join if you like" she said smiling to the other female even if it was in a rather awkward position. By now, the Phoenix had recovered mentally for the most part. The Goddess decided she would just try an ignore the pair's antics and sat down on the bed's edge, leaving Shiko on top of her newest pillow.

"Hehe, hey Iravis." She replied, not exactly minding that Shiko was getting quite a handful of her chest. "I found our other roommate!" She continued from under Shiko.

"A bed is more suitable for a goddess than the ground. I'll sleep here then, and leave the floor as your domain."Iravis kicked off her shoes, and realized that she was simply too exhausted to care about the newest bedroom dynamics. A lot of new things had happened that day. Sweets, roomates, classes, and seeing Mr. Wick collapse. I'll introduce myself tomorrow. And probably invest in some earplugs. She hit the light switch and buried herself beneath the sheets, closing her eyes. At least the bed was of high quality and comfortable, that much was for certain. And Warm.

"Aww, are we going to bed? I wanted to play with Shiko more." She whined, quite disappointed at the turn of events though only momentrily. "Ah well, guess I'm sleeping here tonight." She looked back up, giving Shiko an oddly mischievous grin. "Hehe, so what else are we gonna do?~ I don't wanna keep Iravis up but I'm not all that tired."

---

And at that moment, the door slammed open, not giving Shikio much time to answer that question.

Iravis remembered that there wasn't a lock on it. The Phoenix sat up, flicking the light switch on. Maybe Sir Alistar was coming to-

A man with the metal mask simply walked into the room, opening the door as if it hadn't been locked to begin with. Largely because it wasn't.

"Wake up." His voice, husky but loud, was meant to wake everyone up. "I've come to erase you. However, fighting against women is already hurting my pride. Felling you as you sleep would simply be humiliating, for the both of us." He extended his hand to the side and, on his chest, something beneath his dark clothes started glowing in a yellow color. "Behold, Tyrfing!" In his hand, a sword made out of pure steel formed. An Alchimia mage.

Lyssa, even though she was still under Shiko could see his magic quite clearly. An alchimia mage. And honestly, she should have been a bit more alarmed by this intrusion, but...

"Silly, you can't erase people." She giggled, still under Shiko.

The Alchemist stepped forward again, but the Fernir's icicles distracted him for a moment. It only took a single swing to destroy the summoned ice, but the wolf had successfully gotten behind her target.

In front, he had the fireball summoning girl. Behind, he had this strange ice wielding woman. There was also the demon on the ground, but she wasn't doing much yet despite the Fernir's call for her to get up.

The Alchemist summoned a knife his his other hand, and lunged with both weapons towards the cattlegirl.

Iravis grabbed Lyssa and pulled her out of the way, but her irritation was obvious as she shouted at the horned woman. "Destroy his armament, now!"

“W-wha? Why are we fighting!?” Lyssa asked, completely confused at the turn of events. One moment she had been just about to fall asleep with the most comfortable pillow on top of her, and now they were throwing icicles and fireballs at each other! Just what was going on?

Still, she knew enough that standing here was going to be bad, though she didn't get much time to react. Iravis grabbed her, pulling her safely out of harms way.

Unfortuantely, she was much slower in taking Iravis' advice and destroying his armament. She could destroy it. Easy enough. It was either steel or Iron from the look of it. That wasn't the problem. The problem here, was that she looked absolutely terrified of something.

"I don't...I don't want....I mean I can." She replied, though she sounded unsure. Honestly, she knew she should be helping here. She did want to help Iravis and Shikio, two people that she considered to be her friends, but it seemed that something was bothering the demon so she was a little slow to act.

"F-fine, I guess I have too...don't I?" She mumbled, taking a deep breath, and getting into an offensive fighting stance. She'd let the sword guy make the first move here, and despite her earlier hesitation, something changed...just a bit. "Well come on, sword guy. Let's get this over with, alrighty?~" She giggled, a somewhat....odd grin, forming on her lips.'

Seeing cattlegirl hesitate Shikio were worried about her team mate, her instincts told her full and well that she needed to cover for a pack member in danger and that meant even assisting their escape if they needed to withdraw. She were about to rush over to cover for her when something about her changed... If it was that she finally got serious or that her survival instincts triggered was something Shikio did not know.

However it she didn't seem afraid any longer meaning that she would try to fight and that meant it was best for Shikio to stay where she was and strike any opening she could. Quickly closing in on the opponent still down on all four she used a wolves nimbleness to attempt a strike and retreat move to either draw his attention, catch an opening or give the others one. "Fatal Fury" she called as she used her claws to swipe towards the opponents back while being equaly ready for a swift retreat.

Unfortuantly for the wolf, this alchemist summoned melee weapons for a reason: he excelled at fencing. He rotated, using the knife in his left hand to block while using the sword in his right to swipe down at Lyssa again.

Lyssa avoided the blow easily enough, sidestepping to the right. In one swift motion, she caught the alchemists wrist, making sure he wouldn't be able to use it for the moment. Considering her martial training, she was pretty sure she could do it. That sword of his was either steel or Iron from the looks of it, and if she got lucky she could temporarily disarm him.

With her free hand, she grabbed the blade, some might have said that was a really stupid move, but there was a breif flash of magic...and the blade compltely crumbled. So steel it was.

Without giving him a chance to recover from what probably was a surprise, she made her next move. Letting go of his wrist as the pieces of useless steel fell to the floor, she aimed a swift kick right to his chest.

Fortuantly for metal mask, most martial arts had similar principles. The alchemist dodged out of the way, sliding into the table. In a bid to distract the wolf for a moment, he threw the knife at her and summoned a great axe in it's place. "Catch this you demon!" The great axe cleaved the air, aiming straight for Lyssa's skull. Iravis was behind Lyssa, chanting something in a foreign tounge.

Shikio quickly sprung backwards as a dagger were swiped in her direction, back-flipping she let her icy spikes shoot up from the floor towars the attacker and then Shikio landed a few steps back as she prowled from a distance. The Enemy slided to the side into a table and threw a dagger her way which she evaded. She then quickly closed the distance seeing the man giving her a big opening by focusing a great-axe to use towards Lyssa.

Shikio pounced towards the man and went for the throat of course from behind. If she could sink her fangs and claws around him she wouldn't hesitate to tear him appart.

The axe was easy enough for Lyssa to avoid. She ducked under the weapon, lunging forward intending to tackle the man from the front.

Unfortuantly for Iravis, she was behind Lyssa at this time. After disinigrating the weapon the previous time, Iravis was expecting a similar performance for the great axe. But no, the hellion dodged and Iravis could only manage to raise her arm as an instinctive block as it was lopped off. Blood sprayed everywhere.

The girl's attacks both landed, but the alchemist was talented enough in armor to be able to summon a gorget for his neck The wolves attacks were an incredibly uncomfortable experience, but he lived. The demon's tackle then forced the three into a dogpile, with the wolf crushed on the bottom and Lyssa on top.

Only a moment later the Alchemist summoned two razor sharp blades, sending them beneath Lyssa's arms and aiming for the thighs.

Well the sudden frontal collision and the rough armor was enough to ward off Shikio's vicious attacks and soon threw them all to the ground. Falling to the ground and getting pummeled by the weight of two others was not especially comfortable and knocked some air out of her causing her to whine quite a bit. Yet she tore with her claws at any parts she could reach before realizing the mans attack on Lyssa.

This made Shikio try to grapple and hold the enemy's arms and keep them away from Lyssa. "Freeze!" she called as she tried to hold him still for Lyssa to act while adding a bit if chill to the moment.

Lyssa ignored the blades. In fact, she almost didn't even seem to ackdnowledge their presence. If they struck her, then fine. She was going to end this right now, even if she got hurt herself. She reached for the mans mask, ripping it off and tossing it aside, out of reach. Now that his face was exposed...well...99% of the elements in a human body was oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The rest was potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.

"Soo...looks like you've lost~" She giggled, that unsettling grin never leaving her face. "So I'll give you just oooone. chance to surrender." She placed a hand on the side of his face. If he so happened to make a single move she didn't like...well, he could say goodbye to his insides.

The knives landed, but before he could stab again his arms were frozen and his body was tied up from beneath. Metal mask knew when his game was up. "I yield! You win! Congradulations, you can stay here!"

Iravis had curled up in a ball, face pale as she went into shock. She was holding her dismembered arm against the bleeding stump, tears landing on the wound. It healed with visible speed, the dismembered part reataching itself flawlessly as time bassed. Less than thirty seconds had passed since the wound had occured, and the skin was halfway reatached.

"Demon, your thighs ... Wounded ... My tears.. heal." The Phoenix's voice was punctuated by heavy breathing, and was obviously spoken through a great deal of pain. 40 seconds after the wound, the bone had started to reconnect. Muscles pulled themselves together again, reforming broken their broken bonds.

For a few seconds, it almost looked like Lyssa was going to do whatever she was going to do anyways. It wasn't until Iravis spoke up, did she finally let go of the man, breathing heavily, though not from exertion. What? Injured? Was she hurt? She...couldn't feel anything but...she looked back, to where Iravis had mentioned, and sure enough she was. Ah...she should...probably get that looked at.

She rolled off of the man, laying on her back on the floor, simply breathing and trying to recollect herself. Ugh, she felt terrible, and not from the wound, or the fact she was probably losing quite a bit of blood. For now, she would just lay here, and try not to think about what had almost just happened.

She had almost...just killed someone...again.

"LYSSA! NOW!" The demon's wound was very, very deep. Whie it was small, Iravis wouldn't have been surprised if it had struck the bone.

Lyssa turned her head and looked to Iravis. Was she...upset about something? Oh right, she was injured...probably quiet badly. But what exactly could Iravis do about it? She was pretty sure she wasn't any sort of healer, but...ugh.

With a small grunt, Lyssa forced herself to her feet. She could walk well enough, since it wasn't really the injury bothering her, so she limped over to Iravis without a word.

As the man yielded Shikio's grip remained firm long after, even if it was uncomfortable to have him on top of her the weight dropped considerably when Lyssa got off him. Yet Shikio hadn't failed to noticed her friends injury, the stench of blood hanging thickly in the air drove her mad with rage. She spun around without letting go slammed him to the ground as she came out on top.

Iravis used her functional arm to grab Lyssa's thigh, forcing one of the demon's wounds beneath her face. A few tears fell, and the wound would quickly vanish and the pain was probably going away. "Your other one." When the demon turned around, Iravis used her tears to heal that wound as well.

Then it was but a move for the wolf to rip his neck protector clean off and settle her paws right around his neck tightly. She weren't going to just let go, this enemy had hurt her friends and he were dangerous. She bluntly thought that removing his head would make him much less of a threat to them.

"You hurt my friends... You wounded my pack... There's no mercy for scum like you" she growled, a moment after she without hesitation went for the kill once more...

"Don't kill him!" If this man died, then they would lose a valuable source of information. But the Phoenix was in no condition to stop the fernir.

Soon the wounds Lyssa had recieved had been taken care of. If she still wasn't in a state of shock, she might have questioned it just a little bit. Iravis' tears could heal? She'd probably find that a little sad, but for now she barely acknowledged it. She was thankful for it, though right now she should probably stop Shikio from killing this guy.

She walked over to the wolf, grabbing her shoulder with a firm grip.

"I'd prefer it if you didn't kill him, alrighty?~" It was definitely more of a command than a suggestion.

Shikio heeded not as the Phoenix somewhat in the distant called for her to stop, because at that point she were already consumed in enough blood thirst for this enemy's neck that words were beyond stopping her. At the time when Lyssa's hand fell on Shikio's shoulder the floor was already turning red with this enemy's blood as she had gouged his neck open, ripping flesh from bone and given him a new entance to breathe through as he was both drowning in his own blood and experiencing the pain of his flesh getting ripped off.

When Lyssa's words finally reached Shikio, the enemy had likely already stopped moving. And at that time she would gaze up at Lyssa with blood that was not her own floowing from her fangs and mouth. To this notion Shikio mearly licked her lips as she smirked to Lyssa "Hush little baby do not cry, all in this world will one day die~" she sang slightly as she pulled away from the corpse. "Well its a waste of a good meal, but I suppose I won't eat him... maybe" she said as she looked to her room mates, they seemed surprisingly fine now making her nod to them. " how are you feeling?... you still reek blood" she asked them in a rather firm tone compared to her playful pre-battle attitude.

Lyssa had been hoping that Shikio wouldn't. She had already had enough fighting for tonight, and she wasn't feeling so well. She would have given Shikio all the cuddles she could have given the fluffy dog if she had. Instead, she had to watch a man get ripped apart right in front of her. She was looking a lot less cute and fluffy now. The demon would have tried to pry the other girl off of him, but she was too slow and by the time she even realized what had happened, it was too late.

When Shikio was done, she could only do one thing.

The demon summoned all of the physical strength she possessed...and slammed her fist right into Shikios face.

"Are you crazy?" she quietly spoke. "Y-you didn't have to...what did that even do?! He had surrendered!" she shook her head, dear gods there was so much blood. She almost felt like she was going to puke.

Shikio didn't get much time to listen to any replies, only a moment to realize that Lyssa balled a fist in anger, before there was intense pain... stars and she soon found herself on the floor with a broken nose and her cute face bloodied by someone she had trusted's fist. She didn't give any reply, nor a whine... at most a gasp as she were knocked out from the hard blow straight to the face. The one straight punch hurting her more severely than the entirety of the battle...

Some would believe that the racket produced by the fights would attract more than one teacher, or in this case, a nurse.

Still, Rollanda walked into the room as if it were nobody's business and took the Eraser in her arms.

"You really went wild here, didn't you?" She simply said, and moved the man's hair out of the way to take a good look at his face. .



"Yes, nothing I can't fix. The demon over there." She turned to Lyssa. "Help me carry your roommate. It is your fault she is in that sorry state, after all. You are also pretty sensible to these kinds of things... I guess that's what happens when someone's new in the school. Don't worry, he's, well, dead, but he won't be for much longer."

She then turned on her heel and turned around, "And that's an order, so hurry up and bring the wolf girl over."

Iravis' arm was mostly reatached by this point, with some blood still spilling out of it. She remained curled up on the floor, blood pooling around her, skin deathly white She was barely concious by this point, so she didn't notice the confrontation between her roomates or the staff as they entered the room.

---

Okay, maybe punching Shikio was just a bit much. Lyssa hadn't meant to knock her out. Ugh, this night just kept getting worse. She wasn't sure she was going to be staying in the room the rest of the night after this. She wasn't sure she could.

"H-huh?" She sounded a bit startled when she replied to Rollanda. The demon hadn't even heard her come in, but what she said seemed to improve her mood quite a bit. "Y-you can heal him? But..." He looked pretty dead to her. Could this woman fix dead people? Still, she wasn't going to argue. If she said she could, she'd let her do whatever she was going to.

Lyssa walked over to where Shikio was laying, though still moving a bit slowly. She lifted Shikio as best she could, and brought her over to Rollanda.

Rushing into the room with quite the concerned frown on her face, Hanako rushed to Iravis' side.

"Hrm, how inconsiderate of Mistress Rollanda. To just leave you here..." She put a single hand on Iravis' forehead. "Poor thing. But don't worry, I'm here for you! Kubinashi!"

With a puff, Hanako's familiar appeared again and between the two of them they carried Iravis over to the infirmary.

"Wait for us, Mistress! She needs treatment too!"

"You can handle that."

"Eh? C'mon! She looks really pale!"

"I believe your treatment would be better this time than mine. So handle it."

Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

@Kimiyosis Depends on how adorable you plan on being.

In short, yes. But we are in the middle of fight scenes right now so you might have to wait a little before hoping in.
