Seraph Academy
Practice Halls
*WHIRRRRRRRR*
The sound of a loud whistle rang through the hall, catching both of
Thessir and
Kazudain's attention before they could do anything else. "
A fatal wound has been inflicted! The match is over!" The referee declared.
The referee and some staff arrived to check on
Kazudain and the stab wounds he received from
Thessir. "
Kazudain has been inflicted a fatal wound! Thessir is the winner!" The referee announced after being informed by one of the medics. The audience gave the Rogue Elf a round of applause before beginning to exit the hall.
"
Sir, are you alright?" The referee approached
Kazudain as his stab wounds were being patched up by the medics. "
Your lightning tricks may have done some of the fixing but I strongly advise you to get that looked at." He said about the wounds on
Kazudain. "
It doesn't look that bad but still. I'd say you need to take a break for a day or two. It's not like you're fighting tomorrow anyway."
Meanwhile,
Thessir was free to head off to his own business or stay and have a chat with his lightning-wielding opponent.
Raviel got off of
Seleth in order for the fight to resume fairly. However,
Seleth was one step ahead, casting her spell 'Shadow Weight' while
Raviel conjured his bo staff again.
The dark orbs of 'Shadow Weight' clung and stuck to
Raviel's right arm and left leg. The orbs were as heavy as several concrete blocks and effectively pulled
Raviel to the ground if he did not actively fight it with all of his strength. With him almost immobilized,
Seleth was free to grab her spear and resume the fight, or rather, finish it.
Seleth had the upper hand and, with a few well-placed moves, the victory for this match. Meanwhile,
Raviel was restrained and had limited options to get out of this situation, much less even the playing field. However, he can still teleport.
You decisively won your fight against the Elf named Nilfrenda. After being congratulated for your victory by your fans in the audience, you were told that your next match will occur tomorrow and you were free to take a break for the rest of the day. You were also told that since you were advancing to the semifinals, you were going to be fighting in an arena for the next match.
Whether you decided to take a look at the tournament festivities at the Town Square or head home to rest after fighting such an opponent, you went to Seraph Academy's west gate to exit the school. On your way there, you encountered a scene you are all too familiar with being a security officer for Seraph Academy.
Some four female students surrounded a girl backed to a wall.
The girl had long, black hair with light skin free from blemishes and the like. Her red dress was simple but it complemented her body shape well. She was, to put it bluntly, beautiful. She was still the target of insults and mockery despite her prettiness. Or perhaps because of it.
You hear slurs, derogatory terms, insults. The bullies had quite the vocabulary with them, unleashing their poisoned and prickly words upon the red-dressed girl who stood there and just took it with an expressionless face. You knew this girl. You and your fellow officers have protected her from bullying several times now. However, not all times were successful.
Nur was her name and it appears you have to save her again.
Eastern Gate Town
Warehouse
Ragnar was surprised that a Beastkin, who came out of nowhere, managed to halt his mighty vertical swing. But only briefly, the warrior released his hold on his and, with a curled fist, punched
Lumina away. However, this only cleared the way for
Faye to release her wind magic upon Ragnar, sending him to the sky. "
AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
Meanwhile, the thug fighting
Tibrus was slowed by the orange energies from the latter. He assumed a defensive stance, knowing that he was at a disadvantage. His eyes were focused on
Tibrus, waiting for him to make a--
"
AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Ragnar's screaming took everyone's attention as he landed back on the warehouse and punched a hole through its roof. He landed on a couple of boxes inside the warehouse, surprising the building's shady workers.
"
What the s***?! Ragnar?!" Keith was the first to ask.
"
Keith, we've been discovered!" Ragnar weakly answered.
"
Damn it, we need to get out of here!" Keith then issued orders to those inside the warehouse. "
Code Orange! Burn everything! Don't let yourselves get caught!"
Moments later, fires were started throughout the warehouse, threatening to burn everything within down. The workers began evacuating while those left threw torches and oil at the wares. Keith helped with the burning and the razing while Ragnar was helped up and escorted out of the warehouse.
The investigators saw all this from the windows.
Tibrus' opponent had fled during the commotion. The investigators still had no concrete evidence of any criminal activity. They could get inside and try to salvage something but that would expose them to the dangers of the flame.
