[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin did not understand why his compliment upset Kijani. Maybe he would has to ask Kalinda or Estrlla what he had done wrong. He thought all warriors wanted compliments on their skills. Deep in thought Griffin returned to his seat.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda watched Griffin's fight. She wondered how they were going to go, fighting against Kijani. Maybe this would be good for them, to help them get passed hitting a girl. But she knew it would be hard.

As Griffin aimed a low kick, Kalinda let out a relieved breath. She found it interesting when he used the light flash. Maybe it would be fun to fight against Griffin and Zack. She wasn't too sure how much fun it would be against Arnold, but it would be interesting to know if she could use her shadow powers against light.

Shadows were, after all, the absence of light. But if light was all around, could she still manipulate and create shadows? She didn't know. When Kijani closed her eyes, Kalinda frowned. What was she trying to do?

"good strategy. If her eyes are closed, Griffin can't shock her again" Connor, nearby, murmured to himself.

Ah. So that was it. Interesting.

Kalinda was a bit intimidated. She had no fighting skills, really. Sure, she knew how to throw a punch, but that was about it. She was once again taken aback by how much she had missed, how far ahead some of her classmates were because of their six month head start.

When Griffin lost and walked out, then winced at Kijani's comment. and her anger. Kalinda knew that Griffin had meant any offense by it. And Kijani's emotions seemed unstable at the moment, as if she were trying to hold something at bay. Kalinda decided not to get involved, turning to Griffin, "that was a good fight" She said, giving him a smile

Griffin turned at Kalinda's compliment. " I was unsure about fighting a girl until Arnold pointed that villains can be women. I thought she held her own well. But I do not understand why she closed her eyes. What advantage would that give her? I am also confused by why my compliment upset her."

[MarshiestMallow]

"You're light blinded her a second, right? Disorientated. She wanted to prevent that from happening again, I think" Kalinda said, then sighed, "some girls don't like the stereotypical gender biases that are around. By saying the compliment like you did, you made it sound like a girl can't fight. Not every girl will like your...chivalrous ways"

Griffin frowned. His compliment was an insult because he had pointed out she was a girl. That did not make sense. Girls fought differently the guys. She had fought in more of a guy style then a girl style. "I must apologize later then. I meant it as a compliment. She landed solid blows. I was not expecting her to be well versed in hand to hand."

John walks into the room after Jack, and grins while saying, "Let's keep it fun." When he see's Jack's gesture of respect, he reaches out his own fist as if to mimic it. When their fists are just a couple of inches apart, John's jerks upward, punching Jack in the chin, then he jumps back.

(Sorry for the autohit, I wanted to start it quickly)

[MarshiestMallow]

"I know you didn't mean it offensive, but maybe next time say "you fought well" And leave off the "For a girl", will take as a compliment a lot easier" Kalinda said, "I suspect everyone can fight in one form or another here. They have been here a while, after all" she said glancing at the screen to see John and Jack fighting. She thought it would probably just be a bunch of blows. Jack was ticked off about something towards John, she felt

[Avanhelsing]

((Thought you were gone...))
"Really John? I thought better of you." He said weathering the punch. That was not being repeated. He was winning this. Jack fired two quick webshots at him and used the distraction went to punch John in the cheek as hard as he could while the webs were distracting. He had learned that trick last night.

"I will remember." Griffin glanced at the new pair sparing. They seemed to be taking the battle to a person level. He briefly wondered why, but decided that he that it did not matter. "I guess it makes sense that the children of heros and villains would know how to fight. We had not consider this. Nor have we given much thought about how to use our abilities as a weapon. But we will be doing so now."

[MarshiestMallow]

"not all super kids know how to fight, just because their parents do. I don't" Kalinda said, "I suspect my mother was hoping I would never develop any powers. So I barely know how to fight. I guess I can always use my shadow power. But it depends who I go up against" Kalinda glanced away from the screen, looking at her desk once again.

[knight125]

John dodges the first web pretty easily, but the second hits his cheek, causing him to reflexively jerk his head back. John laughs as he sees Jack's punch miss, and asks, "Really? Is that all ya got? Come on, hit me!" While taunting Jack, John slowly moves around him in a circle.

With Mimic distracted by the fight, Anthony slips out of the classroom, unnoticed by the teacher. He returns a few minutes later and sits back down next to Sue, who seemed to be caught up in the fight.

"You should use every advantage you have no matter who you are up against. The idea is to do your best not to hold yourself back. I could show you a few moves. Fighting is not difficult. There are many styles. You might do better with something in the martial arts field the the street stuff we know." Griffin offered. He did not want Kalinda hurt because she did not know how to defend herself. They would have to do something about that.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda glanced up, smiled a small smile, "You've already done a lot for me. I couldn't ask for anything more" She said, could she?

[Avanhelsing]

So he could be hit. Jack had a lot better control of his powers then yesterday. Maybe nearly getting killed with Ben had helped. Or maybe it was the adrenalin coursing through his veins. He kept a level head. John was going to lose this. He tackled John to the ground and begins to just pummel him. He was not holding back his strength this time. One punch missed and cracked th floor a bit.

"You did not ask." Griffin pointed out. "We offered. Besides friends help one another. We would blame ourselves if you got hurt because we did not share our knowledge. "

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda laughed, "Thats true, but" here, she frowned, "It isn't your fault I am ignorant in how to fight, so why would you blame yourselves?" and then realised that that was probably a silly question to ask them, "Okay then" She said

[knight125]

John's face quickly becomes bloodied under the onslaught of Jack's blows, but John laughs insanely the entire time. He quickly grabs Jack's fists and holds them as tightly as he can, then headbutts Jack once to disorient him. John then rolls forward, pinning Jack to the ground, still gripping his hands tightly. John then begins smashing his head into Jack's head, relishing the experience of pain that he doesn't usually feel, due to his powers.

"We would blame ourselves for not looking after our friends. You looked after us when we needed it. We will do the same." Griffin grinned when he realized she agreed to allow them to teach her. "Excellent. You call us when you are ready for lesson. But not tonight. Tonight we must seek assistance from another."

[MarshiestMallow]

"What do you mean? Do you need help with something?" Kalinda asked. When had she looked after them? Beyond the movie and pizza, she couldn't really think what else she had done. She had offered to help them with clothes, but hadn't done anything about that yet. Oh, right. Taking the emotions. At this thought, she instinctively reach out to the wall, and box that the emotions were lock in. She had no other way of explaining it then that. No cracks, that was good.

"I wish to practice my hunting skills. There is a boy in class who is also a natural. I believe he had been here longer and will know where and how I can do this." Griffin explained. He wondered what she would think of his plan.
