Bison sat erect and stiff in her seat, eating her plain and hearty breakfast of bread rolls and rice whilst glaring down every other master in the process. Of course, by now they should understand her hostilities are a complete façade; but just as equally know that she only has one mood, and that's "angry". All the time. Every waking moment, for reasons unknown, just...constantly irritated by something.

Master So Hai spoke up first. Bison didn't care, his technique was alright and she liked his method of teaching. Mid-mouthful, he idly commented on not getting something, and Bison made a derisive snort. Her mind came up with a snappy comeback but she kept silent because she knew who she was dealing with. [b]"Don't get what?"[/b] Bison replied in that forced polite voice, with undertones of "Choose your next words carefully there."

Bison met gazes with So Hai for a fraction of a second before he started toying with his own breakfast. "You let that girl run around and do as she pleases without so much as a slap on the wrist. You're much too soft on her." he said slyly. Bison had half a mind to give him a slap on the wrist. The nerve! Did he not see her crack Lemur over the head with a spoon? In plain view of her potential team? The man was too thick to understand that physical punishment isn't everything, and didn't understand the complexities of having to look after...[i]That.[/i]

Bison glared at Tachi for a moment, who was too pre-occupied with talking with Gaizen, urging him on to heat up his bowl of noodles with his firebending. If Master So Hai knew, just for a moment, what teaching someone like Tachi was like...then he'd understand completely. Lazy students are fine. But...students who are just so...active? How do you go about punishing them for being eager? it certainly opened Bison's eyes, that's for sure.

Bison set down her bread roll. Tachi flicked her head to peer at it longingly, and then sat down on her behind, got back up onto that crouching position on the bench, shifted her feet a little...felt the hairs on the back of her neck tingle, felt her gut tightening, traces of adrenaline heightening her senses all in a fraction of a second as Bison's voice called out [b]"Well, master So Hai, if you're-....Wait."[/b]

They both felt a rush of air above them. Tachi and Bison looked up first as Master So Hai, seeming to itch for a fight, tried to goad Bison on with a "Hm?" but they weren't listening. An ear-splitting crash tore through the calm like a chainsaw through bubble wrap. Tachi didn't shriek or yelp but moved so quickly it was as if she was electrocuted. With a push of her legs she leapt up onto the table, shifting her feet and looking around frantically. The pair watched warriors pile in. Bison thought of Tachi and Tachi thought of Bison as they both readied themselves for a fight.

Bison certainly didn't go down without a fight. Waves of warriors fell before her violent, powerful gales, she roared her fury at the foes, locking her gaze onto the Armour-Clad Mountain-Man who called himself the Juggernaut. This was the man she wanted to fight, but all these people kept getting in her way...and with each slash, her defences lowered and lowered and by the time she got to the Juggernaut she was considerably weakened, but that didn't stop her from going onto a bloody, storm-infused rampage. Furious, snarling, bloodied and battered, Bison dropped to her knees - making almost certain that she was the very last to do so, or die trying. After all, how dare they think that they could defeat her, or that she's cowardly enough to fall first.

Tachi was another matter entirely. She didn't know these people, she didn't want to work with them, and she didn't want to fight. So the first idea she has was to ditch Pema, Gaizen, Kasumi and Jun by leaping up onto the metal pillar, using a blast of air to launch herself out of the dining hall. What greeted her sight was a sea of warriors, blades raised up, pointing at her and yelling their challenge. Tachi chose to stay indoors, instead.

Lemur looked around, Jun the scruffy hermit, Pema and Kasumi - practically twins, both of them looking a bit like Bison in terms of personality in the sense that they're both probably itching for a fight and impossible to negotiate with, and Gaizen...some sort of shy boy. Who could she possibly work with? Who could she trust? Nobody, that's who. No, Tachi believed she was on her own in this one.

She moved like she wasn't really there. Her fidgeting was paying off in some respect - she twisted, leaped, dodged, ducked, twirled her way through blade and fist alike, leaping onto people's heads, flipping herself around to just skim past a scimitar aimed for her throat but never, never attacking anything. Perhaps her plan was to just wear them down until she found an escape route. 

The sky was an option, if she could get her glider, but that was in her room and the last thing she needed was to be chased down by the Juggernaut, or even worse, Bison. The dirt...well, she was no earthbender and doubted that the spoon that she worked so hard to get was a possible means of tunnelling under all of the conflict. Tachi drew in her breath sharply as a mace came soaring in her direction and pulled another warrior in front of her like a meat-shield. Outside were enough warriors to fill the Earth city. Her mind went into overdrive as she tried to weigh the possibilities, and picked the sky.

Of course, the moment she did pick the sky, a warrior picked her and she was finally struck by a mace, in the gut. And when she got hit...well, she certainly got hit. Tachi felt the air rush out of her lungs as she collided with the wall with an anticlimactic slap, vomited onto the floor, and slid down, choking, trying to regain her breath that was so cruelly stolen from here. She is at the mercy of the Warriors now, who start to close in around her, and it is up to the other Apprentices if they deem Lemur worthy to be given a second chance.
