Grimm Studies And so the battle began. The first thing Yue did was infused her blade with Ice Dust, then stabbed her blade into the ground to create a barrier around Sepia. The wall of ice was at least three feet thick, more than enough to withstand a few blows from this giant monster. But this was only a temporary shield to give the two girls some time to figure something out before the monster wises up or they attack.
”Find some cover and don’t stay still.” Yue told Sepia as she rushed to fight the Dioanae. Most of the other students had grouped up to fight the massive Grimm, causing it to split it's attention between two groups. Normally Yue would try to get the attention of the creature herself, however she wasn't going to squander this opportunity just to play the hero. While the beast was distracted Yue went all out.
Planting her feet on solid ground Yue concentrated her aura through her sword. With a well-practiced swing, Yue fired a beam of energy infused with dust. A blue blade of ice flew towards the Dioanae, cutting through the air and into the water. When the blade beams touched the water it froze them solid, creating a solid layer of ice for the others to stand on. Yue made sure to only target areas that didn't have any of the other students near them, less she accidentally freeze them to the spot. Yue continued to freeze patches of ice around the Dioanae so that it had no water to douse itself in, but when it started to attack some of Yue's friends, she turned her attention towards the smaller vines going towards Ashe and Bianca. Yue knew her sword didn't have much more energy left in it, but she used the rest of the dust infused into the blade to create one huge blade beam that would hit the vines near the base of the Dioanae. The ice ought to cause the vines to become brittle and collapse under their own weight.
Even as the others dealt with the vines their own way, Yue wanted to make sure that the monster didn't just renew it's attack. After depleting the dust in her sword, Yue noticed that Ashe was looking rather tired. Seeing that Yue herself hasn't sustained any injuries yet the maid went over to her new friend, joining her group.
"Ashe!" Once Yue reached Ashe, she placed a hand on her shoulder and began to channel her semblance through her. Ashe's exhaustion and pain would vanish and her aura would increase. All the while Yue's aura was getting drained. A small price to pay to keep her allies up. After trading 20% of Yue's own aura, Ashe would recover 60% of her aura.
"How are you feeling? Can you still fight?" Yue asked as she kept an eye on the Dioanae.
