Triple-posting smh.

Mods, rotate his testicles.


Decoy balls.
Gonna edit a little bit more actually.
Welp, good luck guys.
If anything, the class had a lot of bravado. Iraleth and Ciara bickered amongst each other while Rio smirked over defeating a disarmed archer mannequin. In contrast, there was an equal amount of dissonance. Chloe and Davil were equally useless as they provided nothing positive to this exercise. Otis was the only one who was reasonable out of the bunch.

"Nothing worth to be said; I was born with it." Chunji saw no use in Alto's compliments towards his Ethos. His eyes were not born from hard work or talent; they had been natural to him since birth. In other words, Chunji didn't find his Ethos extraordinary. It was helpful, but that was all there was to it.

The trees tumbled behind him, and Chunji could vaguely guess where they had landed. As Alto said, time wasn't on their side. The Overcharged Leyline that Alto had would no doubt prove to be their downfall if they didn't act quickly enough.

Chunji's eyes narrowed on the bullet that was drilling at Alto's barrier. "I understand." Curses were the method to disperse a Personal Barrier. Curses were generally fueled by negative emotion, so they could disrupt a barrier. At the same time, he didn't know many curses; utilizing his blood lineage against a Personal Barrier would prove useful.

"Hmmmm. I'm not interested in fighting, so I'll leave it to everyone else." Chunji announced to his classmates. Stepping away from the group, he went to a location where he wouldn't get caught in a brawl. Their objective was to defeat the mannequins, not their Professor, as far as Chunji was concerned; challenging the Professor was optional. If anything, Rio jumping to conclusions led them to this situation.

There was also the attunement ceremony that Alto was talking about before the class was pulled into the leyline. Chunji would prefer not to ruin his only set of clothes before it.

Then there was a matter of the leyline, a most curious technique. There was hardly any essence that Chunji could feel in the area. It was as if a new world had unfurled around him. Chunji plucked a few strands of grass and observed it between his eyes. If anything, it was fascinating to see.

As if Alto wasn't going to fight the entire class, minus Chunji, another question was asked. "If you do not mind answering more questions, may I ask about Leyline Overcharge?" Unlike Otis, Chunji was unfamiliar with concepts such as these. "Judging by how this works, a Leyline Overcharges needs the Prime Essence to manifest." Unless there was a powerful Ethos, he highly doubted there was a magic to change the landscape to this extent.

"Would it still be possible for someone to use a Leyline Overcharge without knowing their Prime Essence?" It was a curious question if anything. Chunji had no particular plans on trying to develope a Leyline Overcharge technique. Doctors had no need for such things as far as he was concerned.
Alto about to get the fraud allegations

:skull:
Poggers.

Time to monkey.
They’re really just about to pull the Iris equivalent of the Black Flash xd.
Man, I'm starting to think mannequins are going to be a controversial topic for the group.
"I agree with Otis; you'd be a liability if you were to fight in your condition."

There wasn't any trace of sympathy or empathy for Davil's situation. A cold, hard truth that Davil would have to adjust to when talking to someone like Chunji. From Chunji's perspective, David wouldn't do anyone any favors. Not only was he injured, but Davil was possibly the weakest person in the classroom. He would be on par with Chloe if Chloe didn't have the grace of being gifted with a powerful Ethos. An Ethos that Davil currently lacked in both power and usability. What did he even use his Ethos on before class?

Chunji glanced towards the treeline and pointed out the archer was readying another arrow to shoot. "The mannequin's right there, around thirty degrees right and thirty feet on the tree from Ms. Nachtnebel." With that directive, it was time to 'analyze' Professor Alto. The vagueness of the command made it confusing for Chunji to infer. What did Otis want him to analyze? His strength? It was obvious that Alto was stronger and built more strongly than Rio.

A quick look at Chunji's Ethos told him the obvious. "Your body's healthy, Professor Alto," Chunji said as he looked over his professor. As expected, he was built, had scars, and his hands had callouses.

Chunji had no intention of challenging Alto at all. It was clear what the outcome was, even if Chunji gave it his all to fight Alto. With no further instruction from Otis, Chunji decided now was the best time to ask questions. "Professor Alto, what are the weaknesses of Personal Barrier? I'm sure that many people worldwide have devised methods to best bypass a standard barrier." Other than attacking the barrier until it broke, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the world; there had to be some to create ways to break down a Personal Barrier.

If it were Chunji, he'd expect that a curse or an emotional turbulence would bypass or weaken a Personal Barrier. Curses, in general, were hard to avoid. Curses came in all different kinds of forms, whether they were esoteric or exoteric. Someone would have needed to prepare a countermeasure to redirect the curse or purify it once it landed on them. Chunji didn't know the exact limitations of the Personal Barrier and whether or not it could block the curse from entering the body.

As for emotional turbulence, Personal Barriers were fueled by emotional essence or Nama. If the emotional essence were unstable, Chunji assumed that the same would go with the Personal Barrier. Barriers, in general, were meant to be 'stable' and 'protective' against threats that would bring destruction to life. If the barriers were fed fluctuating essence, the Personal Barriers would correlate to a weaker barrier if Chunji's conjecture was correct.

However, this adds more to the question of Personal Barriers. Can magic involved with healing bypass the barrier? Can the user personally select what is considered an 'attack?'
