Update will be delayed a bit because of stuff.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Seraph Academy

Practice Halls




Seleth made her attack but Raviel summoned all his strength to teleport out of the way. And teleport he did, leaving all of Seleth's Dark Javelins narrowly missing their target. However, using the teleport spell with the orbs still stuck to him consumed all of Raviel's remaining energy. His body gave way and collapsed to the floor unconscious.

The referee entered the field to check up on Raviel. "Raviel has been knocked unconscious! Seleth wins!" The referee announced. A round of applause filled the entire hall. It appeared that the audience, small they may be, truly enjoyed the fight. They began to vacate the hall while the referee and some medical staff continued to check on Raviel.

It took several moments for Raviel to regain consciousness. "Are you okay? You're not that hurt, I'll admit, but you sure drained your energy." The referee told you. "You fought well and hard. You lost, true, but you still deserve a hard-earned rest. Besides, there's always next year. Though, I think you already have that in mind."

Meanwhile, Seleth was free to head off to her own business or stay and have a short chat with the teleporting Beastkin.

Practice Halls ---> Courtyard


~~~ @AzureKnight (LIS) ~~~


You decisively won your battle against the Beastkin and would then be moving on to the next round tomorrow, with the rest of the day being allotted for rest. The audience congratulated you, even if they said that victory was all but assured. Your brother was one of them but had to leave immediately since he would be late for his private classes and he feared the scolding of the teacher.

Exiting the Practice Hall and into the Academy's courtyard, you coincidentally see Varjan sitting on one of the benches with his head down and being comforted by a maid girl with green hair but an otherwise average appearance. Leaning on the bench was a slick katana and since you knew Varjan was not one for weapons, you inferred that it belonged to the maid.

"Please don't grieve, Lord Varjan. The tournament is coming to a close." The maid said. "Whatever you shall do, I shall follow you. Whatever your plan is, I shall be there beside you."

"Whatever I do, Anesh?" Varjan asked.

"Yes, Lord Varjan. Whatever you do." The maid devotedly assured. "If you wish to run away, I shall fetch you the finest horse. If you wish to take revenge against your family, I shall bring them unimaginable pain. If you wish to bring down Razelia, I shall turn it inside out." Big words certainly came out of Anesh's mouth though whether these hyperbole or not was a legitimate question.

It seemed they have not noticed you yet. You could crash this session or stay quiet for the moment and gleam some more insight.

City Square

Unknown Location


~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS) ~~~


"Truthfully, I don't care for drugs in any manner. Narcotics, enhancements, hallucinogens, and other things of the like do not interest me."
Hisana


"Really? I pegged you as the type to inject five drugs into the arm for the excitement and rush." Keith remarked. "Well if you crave stimulation and action, I assure you you're gonna find them. You just need to stay in this city in the near future." He added. "Just... don't say I didn't warn you, okay?"

------

Keith led you through the maze of alleys and alleyways that was inside Zauberheim's city square. It almost felt like the mercenary was leading you in circles until you and him arrived at an inconspicuous wooden door at the side of a wall. "Well, here we are. Welcome aboard, Hisana. I guess." Keith opened the door and beckoned you to go inside.

Inside was a small, barely-lit room with a small circular table at the center with several chairs around it. Sitting on of them was a girl of long, blonde hair, a charming black-and-white clothing and eerie red eyes. She lazily spun a knife on the table but said nothing about you and Keith.

"Hey Belle, this is Hisana. The girl I've told you about." Keith began. "She's as good as I said. Mopped the floor on that Wood Elf. Pretty neat tricks up her sleeve and all that."

The girl named Belle chuckled as she stopped spinning the knife. "You're lucky, you know that?" Belle told you. "Normally I'd screen you and everything but considering that we've had... a setback last night, I'm in need of more men than usual. Capable men." She explained. "I picked Keith here up from jail since he's competent despite his looks. I've had little luck everywhere else. Until Keith here told me about you."

"But enough about that, let's start with some formal introductions." Belle cleared her throat. "I am Annabelle Orlov. A simple girl who is just looking to make money. I have other interests as well but something like the most famous tournament in Razelia is an opportunity that I can't pass up."

"Now then, your turn." Belle asked of you. "Oh and, are you aware of what operation we have here?"





Eastern Gate Town

Warehouse


~~~ @AzureKnight (ENI), @Polaris North (FAY) ~~~


Enishi and Faye's combined magics begun to put out the roaring inferno threatening to burn down the target warehouse. Suddenly, the flames were replaced with explosions that continued the burning. It seemed that someone inside had opted to blow up the merchandise instead of burning them.

One of the explosions brought down some the structure and debris fell on Tibrus. He was still alive but stuck under heavy rubble. Enishi and Faye could help, even just one of them, but could only one of them keep the fire in check now that it's returning back to its full strength?

The fallen wall revealed that it was Keith who were launching explosive fireballs at the boxes.

~~~ @CitrusArms ~~~


The wind from your entrance managed to kill some of the flames burning the warehouse. The place was practically a gold mine of crates and boxes. You select one of the smaller packages and you saw that within were glass tubes of unknown liquids and granules. Were these drugs? Was there actually a drug ring--

*SMACK* *CRASH*

The crate was kicked out of your hands and crashed on the floor, spilling its contents and rendering them useless. The culprit was a man in dark-colored armor armed with an iron magical staff. You heard from earlier conversations that this man was Keith. "I'm sorry, Beastie. But I can't let you do that." He said before he sent you away with a spinning kick. "You know, you're lucky I can't kill you!"

With distance created between the two of you, Keith launched fireballs at the wares of the warehouse. However, the flames were dying down thanks to your allies outside. "What the?! Damn it!" Keith launched bigger fireballs from his staff. No longer burning the boxes but exploding them. "Don't have to burn them entirely, just gotta turn them into ash or something more useless." He told himself, accidentally revealing his plan to you.

You have to stop him before he does what he said and leave only ash even if the fire was put out. Also, it appeared he was the only one left in the warehouse besides you.
I'll have an update up sometime tomorrow.
@PaulHaynek Why are YOU tagging me!?!?!
The Yas Queen

@ZekariVoblis

Umm... Why was @BrokenPromise tagged on your post?
Posted the update to include @ZekariVoblis.

I may do a mini-update for the others but I can't be certain.

"There's nothing to forgive. We are all relieved to report that we are not here primarily on business. And, uh...we are all hungry and weary for we have travelled, but food and rest is....all we will be needing in terms of hospitality. I cannot speak for my companions but Centaur customs are very strict on what you can and cannot do before marriage."
Eilidh Chiron


"Oh, don't be mistaken, Miss Centaur. All the couples you see around you are all, more or less, married." Gina corrected. "Anyway, follow me and I shall take you to some inns that provides those which you seek." The Gandharva then began to lead the group through the Shrine-Town and its love-filled streets. "I'll make sure that the chefs don't put any... additional ingredients in your food."

"On a second thought, maybe I shouldn't..."

"We were told you had a job that needs taken care of."
Titanica


"Ah yes, Ravager's Rest." Gina mentioned the bandit fortress up north. "We haven't formed any decent plans on dealing with that place yet. Perhaps you've had better luck?" Gina asked the Guild members. "Found anything or anyone that may help us with that damnable fortress?"

The Guild have indeed found help with George but the drug merchant said not to mention him or the plan yet to anyone in the Shrine-Town of Eros. The Guild members may want to practice discretion here but that was their choice.

"You will be staying here for the night, yes? Or will you just be eating?" Gina asked the Guild. "If so, I shall arrange a room or two for you."

"I'll try to help with that Master Bart if theres time. I'm not a carpenter, but at least I wont need a ladder."
Ozzy Skyway


"Haha! Well, I'll let you help the actual carpenters once I find them." Bart chuckled.

"H-He didn't...I'm sorry Bart."
Magnus Eissenhoeff


"Well... that's a shame." Bart sighed. "Good luck with Talia."

Just when Bart and the others were about to head inside, the trotting of horses and the rolling of wheels made everyone stop and turn. A wagon arrived with Nephele at the helm and its passengers being Neil, Talia and a girl who appeared to be a Mothwoman. "Hey! You guys are back! How's Talia?" Bart greeted Nephele and her company.

"Talia's fine! We found a healer in Mahigan." Neil responded from the back. "This is her, her name's Morgan." Neil introduced Morgan. "Apparently she knows Titanica and wants to meet her." He explained.

"Oh. Well, Titanica and her group aren't here yet and it's getting pretty late." Bart revealed. "She might be coming really late or will be staying somewhere else. Sorry."

Neil shrugged and returned to Morgan. "Don't worry, Morgan. She'll come back sooner or later. In any case, welcome to the Guild." The boy told the kaiju. "Yes, that's our name, 'The Guild'. I hope it doesn't cause any confusion." He then looked at the building itself. While there was a gaping hole at the entrance, the structure was built with stone and metal. Reminiscent of Dwarven design and architecture.

Once the reunion was complete, Bart was the first to speak. "Well then everyone! Now that we're all together, it looks like our dinner might be a loud one. Come on, let's go inside and our newcomers can introduce themselves while we eat." Bart led the group inside where dinner and conversation would be held in the Dining Hall.

"Hey, guys... can you... can you go on without me? I just... I just need some fresh air, alright?" Neil backed out from the group. "I'll catch up later, okay? Don't worry about me."

~@ZekariVoblis~

You responded to Bart's invitation and found yourself in this region, making your way to the designated location in the middle of the night. Dark clouds blocked what little light the Moon had to offer so the entire area was almost as dark as pitch. Whether you carried a torch to light the way or not, you reached your destination without incident.

There, in the middle of the darkness, was a great structure made of stone and metal. The lights from it made it seem like a beacon in the dark. Approaching closer, you notice that its stone architecture was very similar to that of Dwarven design. So similar, in fact, that it would almost seem that it was they who constructed this building. Nevertheless, this was the designated location so this must be where Bartholomew Barker started his guild.

You notice that there was a hole on the entrance and it did not seem it was an intentional design. At the same time, you notice a brown-haired boy sitting on the front lawn, gazing at the dark clouds above. It appeared he was spacing out and it took a while before he noticed you. "Oh, oh! Uh, hello there!" He greeted, startled. "Welcome-- Welcome to the Guild. Do you-- Do you need something?"
Seraph Academy

Practice Halls


~~~ @Frozen0Titan (KAZ & MAL), @A Lowly Wretch ~~~


*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.

Western Gate


~~~ @Lmpkio ~~~


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.
I have VERY limited of the Monster Hunter universe though so, you know...

Edit: KNOWLEDGE! Very limited knowledge! Ugh, brain fart.
