[color=ff0000]"Now now, you really should be thankful none of that reached your skin. The scythe shielded you well. While... sentimental value might never be properly restored, I promise I'll come with you and shop for a new one once we're back in civilized lands."[/color] Olivier told Nova, stopping her from her angered trot. [color=ff0000]"As for our shoddy berserker, I have a way to keep him in check."[/color]

Olivier closed in on the water wielder that was pinning down their foe, and smirked ever so slightly at her remark. He'd once known a water wielder that could blood wield, and he knew just how rare they are. Anyhow, her on-the-spot thinking was to be applauded. [color=ff0000]"I must applaud your performance. Quite a display of... haphazard destruction. By the way, I'm Olivier Chian, and delighted to meet someone so proficient. As for our little idiot, I have something more... safe than mere taunts prepared for him."[/color]

Smiling from ear to ear, Olivier took out a small piece of paper and a pencil and started writing a contract. It didn't have the shock factor of using blood, but the girl's mention of blood wielding brought back unpleasant memories. In a minute, he was done, and handed the pinned fire wielder the sheet of paper, which had the following scribbled on it: [i]"I will not engage in physically violent behaviour except in the avenue of reasonable self defense, wherefore reasonable is defined as necessary so as to avoid permanent bodily harm, and physically violent behaviour is defined as behaviour that would result in permanent bodily harm to anyone else without them making an attempt at defense. I will abide by those terms for the following 42 hours. Failure will result in the immediate loss of both of my legs."[/i] and then a blank space for a signature. Then, Olivier engulfed his second and middle fingers of his right hand in darkness that quickly took the shape of two long, sharp blades, appearing fluid and flowing in a single direction. [color=ff0000]"You have one minute to decide whether you sign this and group up with us. If you do not, run away in the opposite direction, back to the start, stay there, and lose your academy entry. If you neither run back nor sign this contract, I will slit your throat. Pick wisely."[/color]
