 The Training Grounds or better known as the Gymnasium to the ordinary students is a masterpiece crafted by one of the greatest architect money can buy. The Gymnasium looks normal for the most part from an outsider not taking any extra cram classes through the Order. But those whom are training to become an Exorcist they will find that these grounds are full of hidden traps, weapon launchers, poison, snake pits, explosives, rising walls, quicksand, and so much more that even the military comes to train at True Cross from time to time. The Training grounds is one of the few locations on campus where students are allowed to summon familiars without penalties and are able to fight without holding back. A staff member is always on site to watch the grounds and make sure no one is killed under a training session. The grounds are flat, short-cut grassy area and leads towards the forest that is behind the academy that only Exwires are allowed to enter and take classes that go off into that area.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Victor had bowed before entering the sparing room or better known as "The Dojo" it was one of Victor's most favorite rooms. It was often a hangout spot for the exorcists going to tryout their newly learned techniques or to simply practice what they knew. Coming in, Victor could already see the place well occupied. Several couples or sparring students already held the floors while the rest waited their turns at the walls, spectating. It was only one room and Victor thought they should expand but until then, it was all they had. Looking around, Victor noticed one of his sparing partners posted on the wall. After a few seconds, he noticed him too and approached him. Arturo Colmenares, was his name. He shared a lot of Victor's views except the one about using fists for battle. Arturo liked the sword and treasured it above other forms of combat, even fatal verses. Some would go as far as to call them friends but Victor didn't think so. They would have to be seen together outside the dojo and that was not likely. Arturo put his gloved hand up for Victor and he grabbed it. "I didn't think it would be this packed already. The year just started, after all." Victor said to his partner. "You would think but apparently, some of the students have been harboring grudges from last year and just couldn't wait to get at each other." He smiled. Victor smiled at what he had said and followed him up to the floor. There were two knights sparing on the floor, using their own blades. Victor found a spot to watch from the wall and leaned on it. Some of the other students recognized Victor and offered up glances towards him and Victor knew they were talking about him at that moment. Some of their faces were familiar to him and others not so. He took the opportunity to look around and see if there were any new fighters in the house and if he should be worried about them.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand Doctor || Knight || Exwire Alexandria took a winding path through the labyrinth; passing by many different doors. She opened one that lead into an open space that was ordinarily off limits to the average student because of how deadly the grounds could be to the unwary. The gymnasium towered above her as she stepped out of the door that seemed to appear from the wall. The immediate area looked much like a basketball court although she noted that it was in fact a fair amount larger than the typical court. There were a few exorcists in the court who seemed to be relaxing some as they dribbled a ball between themselves. After closing and once more locking the door behind her she walked future out into the space, noticing a number of doors around the basketball court. Alexandria headed towards the door that would lead her to the sparring room; her steps echoing as she crossed the court. Slowly she opened the door to the dojo. She had been there before on occasion though it was often to observe the other students rather than pick her own fights. The room was surprisingly packed with a number of different students and the floor appeared quite full with a fair number of fights. The pounding of fists and flesh as well as the clash of swords echoed in the room. There were some familiar faces she noticed as she stepped to the side, walking along the wall. Her olive eyes observed those fighting before her. After a finding a spot to lean against she lazily placed her right hand over the top of Avarice’s hilt. The long sleeve of her mint colored furisode may have hid much of the sword’s length but it wouldn’t be enough to obscure what Avarice was to the trained eye.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Victor was half watching the bout between the two knights, not totally immersed due to the fact that neither of them looked to be getting serious. Just a bunch of practice runs. Where is the excitement? Victor thought. Arturo, on the other hand, was well invested in it. He was cheering for the shorter one, notably weaker physically than the other one. "Come on, circle him! Make him trip on himself!" Arturo called out, fist in the air. Victor smiled as he stared at his acquaintance. It's as if he has money on the guy. Something across the floor caught his eye. The door had opened and let in another student. She was a female, blonde, notably European. What she wore was traditionally Japanese, a kimono, complete with a sword although it wasn't a katana like Victor half expected to see. She came in calmly and confidently, eying the room before finding one of the quickly decreasing spots along the floor. The sound of clapping came from some of the spectators around him and he realized the pair of knights had finished. "Hey, you wanna go?" Arturo said, nudging Victor with his elbow. "Yeah, but not with you." Victor said coldly. Arturo looked to Victor confused. "Wha-?" He then saw where it was that he was looking. "With who then, her? She's a Knight, she'll cut you to pieces!" Arturo was more playful than serious. He liked to poke fun at Victor whenever he got the chance. Victor figured it was his way of getting even with him for beating him in their bouts. Victor stepped onto the mat and stopped a few feet before the center line. He pointed out at the female with floral top kimono. "You. I want to see what you got." Victor called out. His expression was serious. Not often an expression found on his face.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand Doctor || Knight || Exwire The clashing of blades had ended as the knights stepped away from one another. Someone was yelling, challenging someone. She had turned to see who it was; surprised to see she was the one being called out to fight. By Victor no less; he looked surprisingly serious for once.”Not sure you could handle me.” Alexandria called back to him, her voice held a sense of disinterest. None the less she peeled away from the wall and towards the mat he stood on. ‘This should be interesting..’ She thought idly, he had nothing but some variety of close combat where she had the benefit of her rapier.
Alexandria stopped some distance from the center of the mat. She held a wide stance and her right hand now gripped the hilt of the blade so that she could be quick to draw it as the fight began. While her left rested behind her, on her lower back to avoid further injury to it.
”You so sure you want to know what I do?” Alexandria asked him tauntingly. Her olive eyes observed him with one of her piercing gazes as a devious smile crept onto her face.

Exwire Ignazio was joined by other members of House Rajaion on their way to the Training Hall. Ignazio made his way outside as the few members of his house began to shut off the power to the Training hall through the main fuse box. Ignazio took this opportunity to find a hiding place outside within the blizzard. Pushing open the large metallic doors, as the gym was filled with screams of students panicking over the lighting change Ignazio made his way behind the storage house. He reached his left hand down his leg and unbuttoned the holster and grabbed two cards form it. They were tarot cards; one had the picture of a knight on it and the other the picture of an archer. Ignazio opened the door to the storage room and entered the open area that was warmer than standing outside. A smile formed across his face as closed his eyes and placed the two cards above his head and raised his right hand near his mouth and then placed the flesh under his canine teeth where his thumb was and slid his thumb upwards as he broke the flesh slightly and drew blood. Ignazio rotated his index finger around the cards to switch the position of the cards making the card with the Archer on the front of it to be first in line and the Knight would follow after it. Pulling the cards down in front of him he rubbed his blood along the front of the Archer card and then began to chant ”May you rest in my hands. Let there be a mark of your sins. Eternal life is found only in death. Set out Judgment under the command of your King! Come Forth, Garuda!”
As the chant had completed a strong wind came from underneath Ignazio as summons had completed and a large Pazuzu stood on bent knee in front of him. Ignazio looked at the demon with cold unchanging eyes before closing his eyes and giving a single command. “Garuda, allow me to borrow your strength. Use the cover of this storm to conceal yourself and on my command you will strike down with a powerful torrent of wind.” he said the “Yes, Master. I shall obey you, but please be careful even if you are plotting something.” ”No need to worry. It’s for fun. Okay?” with that their conversation ended and the Pazuzu’s body turned into the wind itself and scattered out of the cracks of the doors and into the blizzard flying high into the air. Once she felt her distance was great enough a large bow stood in her hands and her mark was set on the gym, the very section that the students were originally sparing. ”Once you feel his presence, fire an arrow strong enough to destroy the wall but not enough force to rip through the whole building. I don’t want to kill them, well not all of them yet.” he said through his telepathic connection with his familiar.
After gaining a confirmation from Garuda Ignazio walked over to the door and pushed it open allowing the snow to rapidly flow through the room. He took a couple of steps outside of the building before taking aim at the wall with the card and rubbed his blood across the top face of the knight down the bottom half of the card. ”Let the gates in all directions be shut, rising above the crown, and let the three-forked roads to the Kingdom revolve. Stand up for your King! Come Forth Innocentius!” Ignazio chanted softly. The snow seemed to start melting and evaporating as the heat increased in the area and a burst of fire came flying from the card for the gym wall but before the flame could hit the wall a large arrow of wind smashed through it destroying it completely ripping it to shreds in a violent fashion. The fire was clear as day flying towards the opening as if it came from the sky. But then it took shape and formed a large being; a fire demon that was known to be one of the original creatures of Iblis. A body guard as you would. The walls were melting just from the creature standing within the hole. Outside didn’t look like snow anymore either, it was more like a fog than anything.
Ignazio’s smile grew even larger as he used the fog created by the melting and evaporating snow to his advantage to enter the store house again. Ignazio closed the door behind him slowly to minimize the noise but the mighty roar of Innocentius filled the area far louder than any slam he could have made from the metal doors. Ignazio walked over to the window that faced the beast’s rear and opened it so he could provide support for his familiars in any way he could. ”Let’s have some fun…Kill them all…Innocentius.” As Ignazio gave the order to attack Innocentius let out another roar and raised his hand a torrent of fire formed before expelling forward towards the students closest to him and then back towards the ones further away.
Luckily some of the students near the wall were Arias and they knew how to create barriers which came in handy when Innocentius let out the stream of fire. With the combine power of twelve Aria they were able to create a barrier within range to protect the students closer to the Fiend who were unaware of his presence after the crashing of the wall. ”Well played, but that won’t last long against these temperatures.” ”Innocentius, get ready to turn up the heat by one hundred degrees. Garuda, you’re playing backup today, so only make yourself known when needed. You’ll be my personal protection for now. So deflect everything that comes to this location” he said to the familiars before they both agreed with their telepathic connection. Another sly smile came across his face before he crossed his arms and held the two cards close to him with a tight grip.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year The girl spoke out to Victor, letting him know that she might not be to his liking but nonetheless rose to the challenge. Coming closer, he began to see just who it was that he had called. There was no mistaking her eyes. They were green and piercing like they always were. As she took a stance, she asked Victor if he was sure about what he was asking. Victor only bowed to her, keeping eye contact. Her smile was not unnoticed. Rising up from his bow, he jabbed both fists downward and took his stance but only for a second before the lighting had been cut out. The entire place went dark and yells of excitement and confusion filled not only the sparing room but the gymnasium. What the hell? After a minute or two, people started bringing out their cell phones to light their way. Victor got down to one knee immediately and closed his eyes. He began to let his Qi out to try and find a threat. He only managed to pick up the other Aria in the room before he sensed something coming towards the room. He looked in the direction it came in and before he could say anything, the wall was destroyed. Wind came rushing in and instead of snow, steam appeared. A fiery red demon stood at the gaping hole it had created. A demon? Inside the school? No, it must be someone's familiar Why? Victor thought. It fired fire upon everyone in the room but it was repelled by Aria barriers including Victor's. Qi rushed to Victor's right hand and was well contained, turning a dark orange color. "Sorry, Alexandria, We'll just have to give it another go some other time." Victor said. With that, Victor dashed at the demon directly, his speed eerily great. The other Aria were strongly keeping up their barriers but let him through as he went forward. As he reached the range of the demon, lunged forward a quick straight jab at the demon's center with his hardened fist, aiming to plow through him.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand Doctor || Knight || Exwire The lights of the gymnasium eerily went out; something that’d never happen under normal circumstances. Alexandria leaped back towards the far corner of the dojo and almost instinctively drew her blade. ‘Some foul play. But who?’ She wondered as other students seemed to fumble around for light- using cell phones to illuminate the room. Many were headed towards the dojo’s door when a thunderous noise of something hitting the walls of the gym? It was an unnatural sound, and soon after the deafening noise the walls of gym seemed to fall apart- the snow blowing in towards her in a strong gust. Shortly after the snow seemed to melt into steam, a fiery demon had appeared. But he didn't seem like much more than an apparition. Yet obviously had some power as some Aria students created a barrier to block the demonic heat wave. The wave arched over the Aria- towards students not unlike herself, who were well behind the wall.
Alexandria heard Victor mention something but his voice was drowned out by the fire demon’s roar and the ringing in her own ears from the echo of Garuda’s arrow striking the walls. She dove nearer to the other students to avoid the blaze. But she quietly processed the situation as other students began to scream in horror. She wouldn't have much time before the Aria student’s wall would give out- the fire demon’s blaze appeared to be gaining strength. ‘Familiars can be summoned here- but demons of their own right shouldn't be able to reach this far into the school.’ She thought as her mind raced about who would possibly attack so many people or why. It clearly wasn't a teacher, as something like this would happen in a class perhaps but unlikely at the dead at night- or so she reasoned. So that left students- and a limited answer on who would potentially be able to summon such strong demons.
That was when it clicked, Alexandria’s eyes narrowed as she then remembered why Ignazio seemed so familiar. He was of the Barthomeloi family. A tamer. He was likely to be one of the few students who were capable of such summons; and more importantly have control over them. While other aspects of his being suggested he just may be behind the “attack”, Alexandria couldn't be sure where such a tamer would hide to play his game. It was unlikely to be clear out in the open. Perhaps some place hidden away. Alexandria looked to find Victor but she saw him leaping towards the fiery apparition. ‘Your… Brave.’ She thought as a look of shock would of crossed her face. She assumed he might just be crazy. Alexandria had decided staying within the dojo was likely something of a death wish. If the tamer’s goal was to kill them the apparition would soon be able to- as the broken wall in which it stood had begun to melt from the creature’s sheer heat. It certainly wasn't safe there. Although if she could make it outside perhaps she could find the source- a tamer wasn't a physically strong class. She dove towards the door to the gym- busting it open with her shoulder as she ran for the outside world.
Alexandria saw a few students idly standing around in the snow- they were from House Rajaion. A certainly peculiar sight when there was a demon just on the opposite side of the building. Alexandria kept Avarice drawn; if any of them would attempt to stop her- she would kill them. Slowly she began to make her way back around the outside of the building.

Exwire Ignazio watched the battle aspire through the eyes of his familiars mainly that of Garuda, but that’s when it happened. ”Master, there is a young woman leaving the structure, should I stop her?” Garuda reported in to Ignazio causing the tamer to bite his lip. ”She’s a ballsy b***h, no one said you were allowed to leave the building. Guess I’ll have Innocentius toast you alive as an example.” he thought to himself for a moment as he closed his eyes and began to connect with Innocentius to see why he didn’t stop students from fleeing. ”…..Innocentius! You let one escape! Stop toying around with the small fry barriers and melt them down already.” Ignazio ordered as his eyes slowly opened up and he kept a close eye on the woman coming down the stairs.
Garuda watched from above preparing her bow again to fire, not only one arrow this time but six at once. Her aim was ready and all she waited for was an order or for the young blonde to make her way closer to her master’s location. The winds began to howl in fear and pain as the demon pulled on the thread and suddenly released the arrows, as they flew down towards Alexandria they rotated and became tornados that ripped through the ground and the bleachers as they moved towards her. The air was dry, and was getting dryer the longer Innocentius fought, that was the power of a fiend; things only got worse the longer they were around, the dead trees were starting to catch small blazes as the wind fanned the fire as it made its way passed Innocentius.
With the mighty torrents of wind flowing behind him from outside pushing in the hot air Innocentius released another mighty roar as Victor came into range with his fist, but being a being of fire, Innocentius wasn’t going to be easily destroyed by a simple Fighter’s strength, especially in the heat that he was emitting from his body. The wind fanned the flames causing the fire covering the creature’s body to simply get larger and make him grow even more. Innocentius simply raised his free fiery covered hand and swatted at Victor like the little fly he was compared to the giant Fiend. With Innocentius’ heat raising the temperature he was nearing a dangerous level in which most humans and even exorcist would be able to handle. The moister in the air was drying up fast, so much so the sprinkler system wasn’t going off. Innocentius’ flames began to expand in range by width but changed to bullets of fire rather than a stream, rapidly striking at the barriers cracking them with every hit, some were even melting.
Ignazio just stood and watched from the shadows, the whole point of sending Innocentius to a location that was mostly filled with Pages wasn’t just to strike fear into them, but it was to teach them a lesson on how dangerous and powerful demon can be, and these ones were trained. ”Garuda, keep her busy and drive her back into the gym.” Iganazio said as he watched the tornados form, he was happy that one of his familiars actually had a brain of sorts, Innocentius was just a demon of destruction , so asking him to do more than destroy was almost wishing for a miracle that he knew wasn’t going to happen.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand Doctor || Knight || Exwire The wind began to howl- the sort of sound that may have driven fear into some.’I must be getting closer…’ Alexandria thought as she quickly looked up into the sky. Sure enough, six pillars of wind began to twist and contort as they made their way towards her. That wasn't quite the sight she was terribly excited to see. Alexandria quickly sheathed her blade as she dove forward and out of the way of one of the pillars that would have come crashing down on top of her. Alexandria rolled as she landed from her dive; she was at the top of the set of stairs just above the training grounds. However she didn't stay there long- she had propelled herself skyward once more over the railing as she finished her roll, landing in a crouch on the opposite side. The air was no longer cold and snow no longer in a solid form. The area was getting progressively dryer- and harder to breathe in. Garuda’s tornados were howling, some farther away causing all kinds of havoc- wrecking the bleachers and tearing the ground up to an unrecognizable state. Some of the trees closer to the fiery apparition began to catch a blaze.
Alexandria scanned the area- only one place made sense. There was a smaller building that seemed unharmed by all the havoc occurring around the training grounds. ‘That must be where this tamer is.’ Alexandria thought.”And you’re not going to let me pass, are you?”Alexandria said aloud as she looked to the sky. Not that she’d be able to see the wind demon yet; it was quite high in the sky. Instead, Alexandria prepared herself, digging her boots into the ground so she could spring away from the next wave of howling wind- if it were possible. She wasn't in immediate danger of the tornadoes, having some shelter from those behind her- for now. And the last howling, contorting storm lay in front of her twisting slowly as it made its way across the training grounds.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Just as Victor had reached his target, the demon had brought his hand around to swipe him from the air. Victor saw this and brought his fist beside him to take the blow. It was reinforced with a barrier so it would not suffer any damage but the rest of Victor's clothes began to smoke because of the heat. He turned in the air when he realized this and carefully landed and rolled across the snow to cool himself before getting to his feet. This guy is getting too hot to touch. It was then that he saw something rocket in from the sky and towards the bleachers outside. Shockingly, six tornadoes formed and began tearing up whatever they touched. With the fire demon's fire rising and intensifying. The snow in the area began to melt and snow no longer fell over that specific are of the gym. Victor looked up, tracing where the projectiles came from and could faintly see a winged creature in the sky, stationary. Victor began to sweat and contemplated putting some distance between him and the fire but instead hardened himself. He focused his Qi once again. Being a Fighter gave him insight into one's Qi and their applications. Victor saw the demon attack the barriers of the aria and begin to break them, that was when he acted. He jabbed thrice, sending Qi capable of boring through the enemy. Right, left, right. Stepping forward once with each blow, before rising in a drop kick sending one last pillar of Qi aimed for the beast. He saw the distracted beast and took his chance without getting too close.

Exwire Ignazio was enjoying the show, his familiars were truly spectacular to watch, the fact he is able to control two at once is already extraordinary, but what made it special was the fact they were mid-level demons and could only get stronger; THIS is what the Barthomelio family was known for within the world of the Exorcist. Not their wealth or their political standing within the world, but their natural gift in charming demons. Ignazio chuckled slightly as he watched Victor get thrown like a fly, but the fact he was able to counter the strike so quickly and effectively made him more interesting, the same thing could be said about Alexandria. Ignazio watched her very carefully and eventually thought it would be nice to give her a fighting chance within her own realm of fighting. ”It is necessary to know the fine details of an opponent skills in order to know their weaknesses, being able to know the extent and caliber of future opponents and even teammates will make working with someone or even destroying someone easier. Besides, if they show too much of their abilities then a large portion of the academy will know what to look for when fighting them, now, an unnamed opponent with two random demons attacking is more than capable of keeping their true skills a secret from fighting from a distance and through others. That’s what it means to be a strategist and a tamer.” he told himself as he watched the graceful dance between the wind and Alexandria. A smile came across his face as he looked over at the Qi flying towards the giant of fire and crashing into its body. ”It’s no use, Innocentius is a Fiend, the only way to hurt him is to injure his body directly and I doubt you have enough firepower to remove those flames, so what will you do Victor, my friend.” ”Garuda, go ahead and play with the Lady Knight, show her how to wield a sword of the wind.”
As the waves of Qi volleyed into the giant Innocentius’ body was forced back and the flames were even showed small breaks but closed instantly. The giant turned its attention away from the other students and went for Victor directly. Innocentius took a couple of large steps before leaping towards Victor and his body burst into Green Flames. The Flames then were expelled from his hands in the form of a large cross that slightly resembled a sword. Innocentius came down from above swinging the cross sword like an axe in order to chop Victor in half; but unlike any normal sword it was made of fire and not just any fire. Those who studied the Demon Kings knew what the Green Flames could do and they knew that avoiding them would be the best option if they didn’t want to die. ”Oh well that wasn’t expected, I guess he hurt Innocentius or at least pissed him off. Guess there’s no way for me to stop him now, that he’s serious.”
Garuda on the other hand understood the methods and thinking of her master and gracefully flapped her wings as she slowly glided down to ground and stood between Alexandria and the storehouse blocking her vision. With a voice like silk she greeted her opponent “You catch on quick, unfortunately, I can’t allow you to pass. I do have a question for you, how did you know to come outside, or were you trying to get a better angle on Innocentius? I’m curious, although I do believe your one for action, so shall blade do our talking for us?” The bow that Garuda held was engulfed in a strong wild wind for a second before becoming a feather that she allowed to flow away in the wind. Reaching behind her slowly she placed her hands on her bottom two wings and removed them from her back slowly and held them like sword, the feathers on the wings combed themselves down and took on a silvery steel color within the light of the moon. Garuda began to rotate the blades by flipping her wrist to show her boredom and readiness. “I should warn you about my kind, but that really isn’t what most enemies would do for each other. But as a warrior, I will warn you; I’m going to kill you.” ”Garuda, was that really necessary, cut the theatrics I haven’t completely gaged her skills yet other than for quick thinking and luck on dodging, how about a peep show for the other students. You like a crowd so rip her clothes off piece by piece.” “I’m sorry master, I’ll be sure to provide a show for the audience above. Forgive me, Miss, but your peers are watching, so I’ll try to end this quickly.” Garuda spoke out loud as her wings began to flap allowing her to hover off of the ground slowly, the wind that was picking up was sharp as the concrete underneath her legs was being slice through with each flap.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand Doctor || Knight || ExwireA graceful being floated easily to the ground before Alexandria; she appeared to be a mix of bird and human- although notably more bird like. The being had massive talons and four wings, appearing a mixture of white, emerald and golden hues. Despite her very animalistic appearance she spoke in a smooth voice- a deceiving voice. The demon wasn't some soothsayer, but a talented warrior- evidently. The demon seemed to question Alexandria’s antics as well as challenging her to a duel. Alexandria stood up from the ground but kept her stance, speaking to the demon as it changed its weapon; the bow turning into wind and finally a feather,”Your master should know why I came this way.” She said to the demon, voice holding a cold tone to it. Alexandria was slightly annoyed by Garuda’s appearance, the wind demon stood in her path to the mystery tamer. Even if she thought she may have an idea of who it was- nothing could be proved unless she managed to get past Garuda.
Alexandria drew her blade. It may have seemed laughable to the wind demon, Avarice’s blade was narrow and long. A blade clearly not made to ‘cut’ the enemy to pieces. Garuda on the contrary seemed to peel its bottom set of wings from its back revealing two blades made from sharp feathers. The demon began to speak again in its soothing voice. Warning her instead about her impending doom; Alexandria couldn't help but laugh. A small smile coming to her face as the demon seemed to be scolded by its master. Alexandria then seemed to rummage lazily in one of the small bags she kept by her side. She was counting vials as the demon spoke- making sure to choose the right one. Alexandria did not intend to make the tamer look “good”.
Garuda continued to speak, mainly to her master- something about giving a “good show” and another apology to Alexandria- the promise to kill her, quickly. The wind demon then took flight- hovering just above the ground. Alexandria pulled one of the vials from her bag, hiding it within her left palm. It was a indigo colored poison which Alexandria had named “Queen’s Bane”. If she could get one solid strike to Garuda- Alexandria would have her chance to reach the tamer. All the while, making the wind demon and tamer appear “weak”-er even though they clearly were not.
A smirk came to Alexandria’s face as she watched the demon hover above the ground, scarring the concrete with slicing wind.”I’m afraid I didn't come here to die. Not to you- and certainly not by the hand of your master. Fiend.” Alexandria said to the demon confidently. She then gave a swift bow to the demon raising her hands to form an “X” in front of her chest. If someone was watching carefully they might have noticed her slip the small indigo vial towards the elaborate rose vine like pommel. As she brought her hands back to her side, her right hand that would appear to grip the rapier; but instead she quickly attached the small vial to the bud like port of the blade. The swift motion down to her side would get the poison ready- gravity assisting with the flow of poison from vial to the channel within Avarice. Once more Alexandria lifted her blade towards the demon, resting her left hand behind her.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Once Victor got to his feet, he saw that the demon had turned his attention from the other Aria and turned to him instead. That portion of his attack gave him relief but it seemed that all he had accomplished was to dispel the flames on his torso momentarily before they covered back together. Victor glanced over his shoulder to where the flying demon was and saw that it had moved. Looking back to the fire demon, he saw it come directly for him. He charged him and leaped at him, releasing green flames from it's hands forming into a sword. Victor widened his stance and raised his right arm. A strong gust swept towards Victor from every direction as he breathed in and focused his Qi. His arm then glowed with dark orange Qi, covering his right arm from his elbow to his fingers. The sword smashed into his arm, threatening to bury Victor and creating holes in the wet ground where his feet were from the pressure. Victor knew about those specific flames and knew that it required much more Qi to withstand them. In the second that Victor stopped the sword, the layer that coated Victor's arm, cracked and gave but that gave him the second he needed. Letting his arm down, the demon's sword tore into the wet ground, burning the dirt and grass. By then Victor had slipped out from under the demon and flank behind him. He can recover swiftly, let's see just how quickly. Victor brought both fists to his sides and a strong wind picked up again. Taking the horse stance, Victor's Qi burst forward in a series of punches. The cone in front of Victor resembled a funnel that aimed to rid the demon of his flames. He kept up the barrage for a second before dashing to the demon's right flank and sending a salvo of three spinning kicks. One jumping one standing and one sweeping. All with a distance far enough from the blade's reach. The moment Victor finished the last sweeping kick, he bounded over the demon. Reaching the other side, he performed two right side kicks into a left straight kick aimed at the demons torso. His Qi being fired with the velocity of his strikes.

【 Tavion Vega ≎ Fighter ≎ Dragoon 】☼ Interpreter of Condolences ☼ 【 Southern Flame General | Acting Paladin | True Cross Academy Headmaster | Arc Knight 】 ✖ ╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲ ✖ From a distance away, Tavion stood with his arms crossed, leaned lazily against a railing a the top of the stairs watching what was going on between some of the Exorcist students down below and in the gym. A deep sigh came from his throat and escaped his lips. Of course he would have to have all this fixed up by morning and that was troublesome.
The demons that were summoned here by the Barthomeloi boy, were quite impressive for mid-level demons. He knew exactly whos demons they were. He of course read up on every Exorcist student at the school so it would have been impossible for him not to know. One of the students, Alexandria engaged the demon Garuda while the other Innocentus was being handle inside the gymnasium by an unknown number of students. He chuckled at the thought of Alexandria finding out who the Master of the demons were but alas he would have to step in if things got too out of control.
