Xavier: Knight Possession Renji's attack hit dead on, blasting the knight into scattered pieces of scrap metal, only or them to reform behind with in a split second, stabbing a blade into the ground. The ground underneath him began to glow a deep red glow, before the ground beneath him exploded outward, a powerful rush of molten ash rushing forward at insane speeds, covering a large area with the substance. If inhaled, it would begin to clog, shred, and burn the lungs, the only one being able to safely breathe inside of it being Xavier. After that attack, he'd charge again, this time creating a large greatsword made of a majority of that blue energy with an obsidian handle and grip. As he clashed with Renji, the Isvan would notice that the longer that the Knight fought, the better it seemed to fight, seeming to get used to his fighting style at an incredible high rate. Within a few minutes, his base fighting skills, if not his overall power, would be on level with Renji, able to clash evenly with the Isvan's mage. This was the ability of the Knight, Hyper-Adaptation, which allowed him to match the base physical fighting skills of any opponent stronger than himself. This doesn't apply magic or any non-natural boosts to physical abilities. [@Kal-El] [@Renny] Aiden Aiden went with his guardians to accomplish the tasks assigned to him, choosing not to respond to Stacy's comment, in no small part because he wasn't even sure if they were, if his recent thoughts were any indication. Once he had put everything away and put down his dragon scale gauntlets, greaves, and boots on a bunk closer to the entrance. He had considered using them for the training, but he decided that he should only use his base abilities for this training, so any unneeded items would go unused until needed. That being said, he was a little hesitant to leave some of his most prized possessions all alone like that, but he took comfort in the fact that nobody else would be here, so if they were taken, he had a very small list of suspects. When he climbed up the ladder, his expression went from calm and collected, to extreme discomfort and distaste, the heat making him feel like he'd stepped on the surface of the sun. He covered himself in a thin film of cool water to ease the heat, steam rising from his body as it began to evaporate just as soon as the water formed. When Ajax told them about what they were going to do here, as well as how he wanted to see their maximum ability, Aiden nodded, his legion of Ice Guardians leaping out of the hole to charge at the Wizard Saint, all of them carrying an assortment of weapons. He made sure to cast Fallen Grace on them, so as the heat of the area would cause them to melt into little puddles with in minutes. Aiden himself, however, took a moment to focus before going into True Dragon slayer mode, which differed slightly due to his training and new element. The wings and tail of Ice he had were now mixed with water, making them much more manueverable than before. He also had water coursing along the top of his skin, only visible on his face due to the suit he wore, that formed flowing lies that shifted occasionally in accordance with his mood. Ready as ever, he launched himself skyward with a down beat of his wings, looking down at Ajax from above, clawed hands outstretched. "Weiss Dragon's Freezing Pulse." He called out, forming a disk of water that he launched at the saint. Where ever the water hit, a thick layer of ice would soon form. Aiden would perform this attack 3 more times from various direction, before charging up another attack. "Fluid-Ice Make: Dragonic Ascension" Aiden charged this spell for a few minutes longer than needed, before launch a battalion of dragonic birds at the Wizard Saint, casting Fallen Grace over them as well. After that, Aiden waited in the sky above, waiting to see what the man would do. Aiden's ability to reuse ice would be very limited in this scorching heat, plus the aridity of the air made the use his Water Dragon magic also something to be careful of. This environment was a hundred percent against him in every single way . . . that made him all the more determined to beat this training. His dragonic eyes, as well as the scale marks along his face and arms, began to glow a mix of light and dark blue as he grew even more excited, a growl escaping his throat. "Let's see how far we can push a Wizard Saint!" [@j8cob]
