I think some drama is needed in this classroom.
Their time of conversation was up. As did Iraleth, Chunji turned to the source of the noise. More mannequins were the direct cause of both the noise and Chunji's disappointment. The usage of mannequins was starting to get repetitive. If he hadn't known any better, Gulliver was a part of the faculty, but he was likely a faculty-student based on his meeting with Emilie. A sentiment that his classmate shared, Chunji was sure.

Interested parties, competition, the cheery tone in Alto's voice. Was this nothing more than a spectacle to them? Having front-row seats to Principal Raja's conceited experiment must be a luxury. An appreciation that did nothing more than ruin the original meaning of competition as an effort. The way the Academy were conducted was spat in the faces of his parents' efforts. The competition was best-placed in stakes filled with desperation and hope, not mockery.

Iraleth seemed to agree as the knight outspoken declared her disapproval of such a method. A true knight, ever vouching for her ideals. She was better than himself in that regard; Chunji would have let it out despite having ill-feeling. Chunji was too used to such endangerment. Even if it were a controlled environment, the possibility of death from training with his parents still loomed clear in his head.

"I will decline," Otis was kind in the offer, but it was mainly for Davil. His eyes looked over to the mannequins. Standing from his seat, he walked over to the owl boy. "While I agree with Ms. Kyrios about safety, Mr. Arillo, it would do well for you to stop coddling Davil in the future." Chunji had observed that this had happened two times now. One is at the auditorium, and one is happening in front of him now. While Chunji didn't disapprove of Otis's consideration for Davil, overreliance may prove fatal for Davil's future.

Chunji's hand lowered down to the hilt. Their two minutes were approaching, and who knows what will happen. His PB was ready to endure the future onslaught to come. "Sometimes, the bird must fall from its nest to find its wing to fly." A frown appeared on his mouth, and he immediately shut his mouth. He said too much.
The Knight's fist connected into the smoke. As if mirroring the same instance from before, her fists connected but failed to inflict injury beyond the barrier. The barrier was a success, though further refinement was needed in the future. Practice makes perfect as his mother would say. It could make a difference in a life or death scenario if he could finish innovative ways to apply Personal Barrier.

"Understood, Professor Alto." Utilizing Primal Essence was strictly forbidden. Chunji could only imagine what the consequences were if he were to use his Primal Essence for a spell. While he didn't know his Primal Essence, they were at least connected to his eyes. It could mean that if he were to make such a risky gamble, he may have to sacrifice his eyes along with his ethos in return. That was a prospect that Chunji didn't want to entertain.

Chunji listened into to the slight conversation between Rio and Otis. It was a sight to see when Chloe suddenly hit Rio out of nowhere. Perhaps it was related to her research? This thought process may prove to be unfounded, but Chunji let it off. There was room for possibility after all, even if it sounded absurd. Other than that, Chunji thought back to when he fought Rio at the bridge of the academy. Did he envision them dancing together during that fight? A future conversation to be had in the future.

Speaking of conversation. Chunji drew his attention back at Iraleth as he caught another of her fist with Personal Barrier. With the amount of force she was putting behind it, Chunji almost thought it was personal. Throwing another punch in return, Chunji decided to strike up a conversation. "The local festival you spoke about, the one you mention in your introduction, what is it? I'm unfamiliar with the culture of the Vaalin Union, so I was curious on what you were talking about." A mixture of both small talk and curiosity. With what little remaining time they left, it would be good to know understand his classmates better.
Should I post again?
For a brief moment all Shun saw was red. Her brain buzzed in happiness and her attack connected true into her target. Hard bone and soft meat were met with an unstoppable hurricane that tore all in its path. Her mania clouded her senses to the point she didn't realize she was giggline. She soon turned into laughter and then straight into hysterics. Yes, this is she what she wanted. To bath in the glory of her enemies. This must be true freedom. Freedom to do whatever you want in spite of consequence.

"More, more!" As if to answer her pleads, voyeurs seemed to come to spectate the scene. A grin grew on her face as she looked over to them. "How did you like it?" Shun uselessly said to the beasts. As denizens of this strange world, it must've looked like she was nothing more than barking them. In a sense, talking to them wasn't for the beasts, they were for herself. "A sudden departure! A sudden twist! Something that'll make a footnote in your mundane lives!" However there was one concept that was universal for all.

Insanity.

With a cackle that seemed to shake the trees, Shun dug into the entrails of the mammoth. Her teeths met into the chewy flesh and immediately went down her throat. For a car to move, it only needed fuel. While the taste left much to be desired, just like oil, all she needed was something in her stomache. Even if it wasn't efficient, all it needed to be was enough. With the mammoths flesh stuck between her teeth, she stood from her bloody playground.

"Let's us be merry and have fun!" She screamed outloud. Drunk off of her previous victory, Shun charged back in. No strategy was involved, only fighting to till the end. Shun launched herself into hulkphant. Whatever remained or was restored from her meal wouldn't be left unexpended. Shun was intent of wiping all them out along with herself.
"Understood," Giving a nod in recognition, Chunji dug into his pouch. He withdrew a bandage and began wrapping around his hand. Once he had a good grip, he looked back at Iraleth. "I'm going Miss Kyrios." Shifting his stance, a blur shot out from his. His fist felt a firm resistance when he threw it against Iraleth's barrier. Simple, effective, and necessary in the midst of combat. Was there a way to make an attack that would bypass Personal Barrier?

With Iraleth's face undamaged from Chunji's jab, it was now Chunji's turn to apply Personal Barrier. Taking a few steps back, Chunji exhaled. The occult required superstition and belief. In a way it worked similar to the Divine. The way it differed was the process. In Chunji's breath in place of air was a dark smoke. Clouds of smoke that obscure the eye and prevent blows from being received.

It would distort and twist attacks away from Chunji by diverting the hit. "I am ready, Miss Kyrios. If you would." Personal Barrier was simple enough to cast. Now it was time to test if it was effective.
I'll be double posting for Iraleth soon, if that's alright.

Chunji jotted down notes into a spare notebook and followed along Alto's words. A broader understanding had been obtained and would be put into practice when there was time. PB, or Personal Barrier, sounded easier to master now that it wasn't exclusively emotional magic. While it was an integral part, Chunji could empathsize with the idea of "I do not like getting hurt," and use that for his essence.

Although Alto's words concerning using prime essence for any type of spell seemed concerning. Chunji doubted there would be a need to utilize that method, espescially since his prime essence was unknown, but who knew. "In the case of using Prime Essence, would Personal Barrier become stronger?" It may seem obvious like the reasoning why an apple would fall from the tree, but Chunji wondered how strong would using Prime Essence to fuel a spell would be.

Other than that, it was time for application. Rio and Chloe seemed to be sticking together and Davil was homing onto Otis. That left Chunji the three possible choices of Hildegrunde, Ciara, and Iraleth. It was obvious who the choice was. "Would you like to partner with me?" Chunji said upfront to Iraleth.

Chunji wanted to minimize interaction with Hildegrunde out of respect and he had a bad opinion of Ciara thanks to their terrible first impression. Naturally, it left Iraleth as the best possible option out of the trio.
"Hmmm... This taste disgusting." Shun mumbled to herself as she ate an insect. The wanderlust curiosity had soon faded as she finished it up. It took her a few minutes to down one of the critters and she wasn't going to do it again. The last thing she wanted to have a meal in this world was a bug. There were several suspicious looking mushrooms that looked somewhat edible. She picked a few but did not eat them. They would make do for dish along with the other plants she'd found.

Even if the events of foraging seemed to be mudane, it felt liberating for Shun. Without any worry about her future and only focusing what was in front of her was the ideal life she'd imagine.

That was until she stepped three foot lower than what she should have. Animal tracks and ones that Shun were familiar with. The same animals- No monsters that crushed Yuudai when he was still in the bus. What was once desire for adventure soon became a thirst for vengeance. She needed to kill it. For Yuudai, for herself.

That monster would become her prey.

Shun thought to herself and formed a simple strategy. If she crippled one of its legs, then she'd have an easier time killing it. No matter how thick the hide, a blunt attack will strike true to the bone. "Ah..." As she knelt down to conceal herself, a sharp pain stabbed into her leg. She had forgotten but Shun knew instictively what it was.

Ayana/Oro's rock.

This rock was a good charm or whatever. Perhaps it would give her some luck in return? "Please give me strength..." Shun muttered. She clutched the rock before putting away back into her pocket.

All or night.

The engine in her soul breathed out life. Her body accelerating, the promised thrill was envisioned. In one moment, Shun was within the bushes.

Until she wasn't.

A Shun sized projectile shot forward towards the hulk-phant. The metaphorical meteor that would wipe out the monster out from existence. Sun was giving it all she had.
