Whammo. Not much to write about in this case, but Otis is ready to offer his wares.
Perhaps there was something else impeding Davil’s progress.
Perhaps he should have been one of the ones to fail the entrance exam.
“This is a very loose theory,” Otis spoke, “But judging by this outcome, it appears related to your Ethos or your Prime Essence. This downward expulsion of air seems to be quite similar to the usage of Linearic Liner…”
For Davil, it was perhaps disappointment, perhaps frustration, but for Otis, this could only be described as something worth examining. The rest of the class had no issues forming their own Personal Barrier, after all. Was it simply inexperience with the manipulation of essence to begin with? Was it that Davil didn’t know his own Prime Essence and was unconsciously utilizing it, and thus, his own body subconsciously ended the spell before it could fully manifest and run him? Or was this, in truth, just normal?
Otis had said it himself, after all. A Personal Barrier was a difficult thing. Compact 3 was exceptional, if all but one of them were able to pick it up quickly. And it seemed like their exceptional circumstances would bring forth exceptional situations too. The Mannekins returned, featureless faces replicating a full classroom as the sound of flutes resonated with the strings within each construct’s body. Violence and violins. All these answers, yet the solution remains ‘war’.
Distance, once more.
Distant from the expectations of Wingram’s Heroism. Distant from the understanding of all others. Distant, as distant as black was from white, as a lightless cell was from the open sky.
“Davil, if you wish to risk your life to prove your point, then show me wonders of this world.”
The Door opened to reveal that astral expanse, the false heavens ruled by a child-god. From that void rose handles, a dozen in total, each unique in their form and function, all of them making a mockery of what a bladesmith would call a ‘sword’.
Otis himself had no intention on arming himself. His calluses were formed by handling tools, not weapons. But while he didn’t mind Davil being brutalized and hospitalized, it would simply be unfair to deny an artless individual the ability to defend themselves.
“The offer goes to the rest of you too,” the Strigidae said. “Consider it a favour, to be paid back at a latter time.”

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two pictures.
Hint: They're the same picture.

Yah, I was thinking less of Soulslike parries and more of the consecutive parrying in Sekiro or this thing here.
Ye, 25 then. My balancing is outta whack.
I’d say that her Parry mechanic is sorta like a repelling ward around her Instrument? When attacks strike it, rather than striking the surface of the blade or scabbard, it hits the ward instead, redirecting the incoming attack. In general, the type of repulsion would be…
If ranged projectile attack, deflect like basically any anime swordsman deflecting bullets.
If fluid or channeled attack, split in half like the Red Sea while remaining dry.
If melee attack, reflect and send them reeling back from Newton’s law of motion, as if they were a bouncy ball that just hit a hard wall.
So for ball of mucus, it’d split around her, the acid having not actually touched her Instrument, while if it was a fireball set to explode on impact, it’d be deflected away and explode after it strikes the ground, rather than when it struck the sword.

Will post tomorrow, probs. Davil's gonna fucking die if this is the shit we do on the first day kekek.
Parry responsibilities!
Time to roll on the death gacha?
To confirm, Nanaya, this supercharging is a passive effect here? Or is the lad saying he's going to get the Mannekins supercharged to beat the shit outta us?
