Kiori smirks as he watches the snowmen play for a moment before lobbing the snowball he had rolled earlier at Alestial. As the snowball traveled through the air he began to consider the fact that he had indeed just started a snow ball fight with the ice goddess and his smirk increased as he welcomed the challenge.

Uki seemed to be confused by the attitude of this student. The student seemed to fear him for whatever reason, and that bothered him some. He didn't feel himself to be a monster and he really never tried to be mean. He was passionate about things, but he was never toxic. He brushed Ren off and then smiled. "Oh, no... I heard some noise and came to check what was happening. My name is Uki by the way. Do you need help with anything? I'm a Fire user, but I'm sure I can help you out some if you need it."
Uki smiled as he looked at Ren. Even though he wanted to train himself, he felt the need to help Ren out first. He couldn't help but assist those in need, and by the looks of Ren's struggles, he was in need.
She suddenly feels a snowball hit her in the back of the head, she blinked slightly and looked over towards Ioric and smirks towards him.
"You want a snowball fight? You're on then."
The snow starts to swirl around her as several snow balls form around her.

Ren looked at the man he didn't seem as hostile as most people he met. " Um well yeah i guess i could use a little help. I mean if its not a burden to you. I mean if it is i'll gladly step aside." he said as he still seemed so obedient and scared that it was hard not to get the feeling he was rather pathetic. Ren turned so he was fully facing the man and wondered what type of guy he was.
" My name is Ren. If you were curious about my name." He said as he continued to avoid looking him in the eyes. He wasn't even going to try to show any confidence in himself. None existed in him and he wasn't going to try to act like he personally felt he didn't belong in such a magical world. He was a nobody who had no right to be here.
((To be honest... I'm a bit torn on how to reply to this, as I've got two good ideas... *flips coin* Ok... here we go... ))
He chuckled softly as Thanatos' display of power rained energy down upon the arena floor, leaving several rather decent sized holes dotting the area between the two combatants. Leave it to Thanatos to be the first to damage the arena. His hand flashed upwards as the first made contact with the ground, the energy already gathered there beginning to spread outwards and around him, forming a domed shield by the time the explosions actually reached him. From the protection of his shield he watched Thanatos begin to free himself, something that he really quite expected as it always seemed to play out that way. He attacked and Thanatos survived, sometimes by the skin of his teeth, but he did always seem to survive.
"Ah hell..." His eyebrow peaked at the sight of Thanatos merging the two orbs into one, already expecting what was soon to come. By the time Thanatos began pointing the now single orb at him he was already dropping his shield, though by no means was he lowering his guard. As quickly as Thanatos' new attack was being launched, he was already moving to defend.
The aforementioned shield had been dropped, moving down and along the ground in an outwardly spreading circular shape. As it did so a spire of sorts would rise a short ways before Sky-dron, rising almost instantly to just higher than the blast was. This spire would act like a wedge, as it would serve to divide Thanatos' attack into two smaller ones which were now directed to either side of the light user. Small rises in the circular shape had also appeared, forming at just the right angle to send both smaller blasts upwards slightly into two energy funnels which would arch back up and around towards Thanatos. Each funnel would direct the aforementioned attack around to either side of Thanatos, coming back at him from both sides.
Now as the attack was essentially darkness and had been set off by Thanatos himself, whose to say that he simply couldn't just reabsorb the energy? He could possibly, but then he would find himself on the receiving end of a rather unpleasant surprise... at least as far as he was concerned. As the energy was being directed back the energy funnels would take on a cork screw appearance before releasing the energy back towards Thanatos. At the exit of each, a large orb of condensed light energy would feed light into the now spinning darkness energy, creating what looked like a spinning drill of energy, created from both light and darkness. The effect of the darkness spinning up and over the light meant that when, and if, it met Thanatos' physical body or whatever means he defended with the darkness would connect first. When it did, it would act exactly how it looked, like an energy drill. One could assume that the darkness connecting first would allow for the light to pass essentially unhindered into Thanatos' very being should the darkness user not be alert. Needless to say, Thanatos' darkness would still be harmed if the redirected attack connect.
All of the above happened in a manner of literally a second or two, causing Thanatos' attack to be essentially sent back directly at him and fed by his own energy. "Here... I think you lost this!" Sky-dron smirked slightly as he watched the attack near Thanatos, already plotting his next move and waiting to see the result of his current one.
He watches as his attack is needlessly diverted away from its intended target and the students all together. It seems Sky-dron had a few more tricks up his sleeve than he thought, or at least he was only still warming up. Naturally so though as his previous attack had only been a small sample of what he was capable of but it was only right that the Light God was showing that same level and he knew that Sky-dron had a lot more going for him underneath all of his calm composure. So it seems now that his attack is heading right back for him being transformed as it were and combined with light energy. This reminds him of what Shinta had been doing earlier only on a much larger scale and without actually fusing the elements together just mixing them in a way.
He could place up another shield of sorts to protect himself but that would only serve to do him harm as his own energy was mixed in with this attack giving way to his defenses and allowing the light inside, much like a Trojan horse. He'd have to think of something else in these precious moments that he had before impact and there wasn't a lot of them left. That's when he spots it, a piece of his tattered cloak from before moving about in the wind along the Arena floor. He eyes it for a moment giving it some consideration before nodding to himself as he throws out one of his arms to his side. From here the darkness would emerge from his extended hand curving back and draping itself over his arm as within a moment it forms a piece of black cloth much like how he had fashioned himself a new cloak earlier. It would be all that he needed though as he drapes the piece of fabric over himself right as the two spirals of energy collide once more tearing into the cloak as it rips and shreds.
This all occurred before the prompt explosion as the energy was released in mid-air safely above the attendants of the Arena. When the smoke finally settles pieces of the aforementioned fabric fall towards the ground as the God of Darkness was no where to be seen. Had he been destroyed from the attack? It would certainly seem like it as even his presence had disappeared for the moment. That same piece of his cloak from before moves about in the gust of wind lifting it up into the air as it floats along turning itself just off to Sky-dron's side. It's from this solitary piece that a single small beam of dark energy shoots out aimed right at the side of Sky-dron going for his ribs. Only to follow the tatters of fabric from earlier scattered amongst the ground would follow suit but they would expand forward heading towards the Light God with precision and speed as they form deadly sharp spikes as they travel through the air.
He, himself, arises from the piece of tattered cloak that had shot out the beam of energy having his two fingers pointed towards Sky-dron as he had used the darkness of his own cloak as a gateway to the Shadow Realm in order to traverse through it and emerge out from a shadow within that piece. He never really liked traversing the Shadow Realm as it wasn't a place really meant for inexperienced Darkness users. Just the presence of it was enough to turn some mad and drive others to commit horrendous dark acts. It could also consume a person and devour them over time as they became lost within its tangled web. However, those who were able to traverse it could literally transport themselves from one place to another in little to no time at all and emerge from a shadow that's placed anywhere a shadow is formed. It was a wonderful but dangerous method that warranted caution from its wielder.
"I do hope that you don't plan on diverting my attacks back at me all day long. It becomes quite old." He manages to ask as he stands there on the ground now crossing his arms over his chest as a small breeze passes by. "If that's going to be the case then by all means let us forgo this battle of elements and really get down to it."
(Sorry for the delay. I have been addressing some much needed things with the progress of the guild and been taking care of those things. Also, been busy with work in that time as well. Trying to find a good balance so that I can move along efficiently.)

"HA!" Kiori laughed cockily as he began back peddling towards the snowmen. "Lets see what the Ice Goddess can do." He said smirking as he sent sound waves behind him pushing the snow into a nice sized hill.

(Sorry for late reply, had a busy weekend) Uki smiled politely and then snapped his fingers, leaving a small fire wisp to float above his hand. "It isn't a problem at all. I'm sure we can help you figure out whatever issues you are having, and if not, we can always talk with someone higher up that might have some insight on how to help you."
Uki was then place his hand on Ren's head. The wisp floated mere inches over Ren. Uki would push a slight amount of spiritual pressure from his head into Ren, attempting to examine Ren's Chakra network. Uki was a bit confused by the readings he received, as it seemed that Ren may have been internally suppressing his elemental energy. Uki had to wonder if Ren had some internal fear of his power. He remained silent while continuing the readings, hoping that Ren would answer the questions without them being asked.

((It's all good.))
Ren flinched a little when Uki placed his hand near his head but when he didn't do anything strange he relaxed. " Um may i ask what your doing?" He said as he looked rather confused was this man preparing to strike him or was he simply being creepy and enjoying himself. Ren was going to let him finish what ever he was doing the man said he would try to help him. He was the first person to be friendly to Ren and actually care enough to help him. " I appreciate you helping. I personally don't think i have any skill at this stuff. I was told i had special powers by my parents but i've never done anything special. " He said as he had never used his powers before so he didn't really even know if he had anything in him.
Uki would pull his hand away and then shake his head. "What it looks like is happening is that you might be subconsciously scared of your powers. I can sense the elemental power deep in your Chakra network, but it seems to be locked in for some reason." He then looked up and then looked back at Ren. "Let me ask, why are you so scared of everyone? Why do you feel that you have to coward in fear at any question asked of you? I think your biggest issue in tapping into your elemental power is that you are so afraid of everything, that you are even afraid of it. Your body recognizes that and simply refuses to give you access."
Uki grinned as he thought of an idea. "How about we force you to stop being afraid? It might help release the Chakra lock on your powers." Uki's idea was kind of a two-part deal. One, he figured he would force Ren to stand up to him. Second, he got to have a free personal training dummy until Ren unlocked his powers.

Ren looked at Uki he wasn't sure he could trust this guy but he figured it didn't harm him if he knew what his old life was like. " My parents were killed because of this gift" He said as he looked away at the ground. " My family and i lived very far from here in a valley surrounded by mountains. The people were very simplistic and very superstitious. My father was an Earth touched my mother Wind touched. They hid it very well but one day a calamity struck our village and the mountins split in two. The village accused my parents and had them beheaded. " He said as his face seemed to harden. " I was treated like scum for the rest of my life. I've been scolded, attacked, threatened, and just about anything else you could imagine to make me feel like i'm worth nothing." He said as he never looked back at Uki. His life was dark and it was hard for him to to be scared of people. He was hated with out any cause. " How can one be forced to not be afraid?" He asked as he looked at Uki. He was curious and wasn't sure he was gonna like the answer.
Uki smiled as he looked at Ren, who was openly admitting to the reasons for his fear. It was exactly as Uki had expected, his subconscious was not allowing him to access his powers. "Well, I was thinking we have a simple training exercise." Uki created a small fireball and began to juggle it. "All you have to do is simply block my attacks. These fireballs can sense fear. If you are afraid of them, they will hurt you, else... they just tickle and dissipate when making contact with the target. I was trained by my father on how this works, so I know I can at least do it properly."
Uki quickly lunged the first fireball toward Ren, trying to see Ren's reaction. Uki knew Ren would be able to get out of this in one of two ways. The first was that his powers unleash to block the attacks. The second was Ren simply ran away and didn't participate. He was hoping that Ren would take the first option.

Ren may have mentioned he never fought a day in his life and so his reaction speed was minimal if none existent. He saw the fireball and was mesmerized and he didn't even hear anything Uki seemed to say after that he just simply watched it bounce a bit. That was until he felt a searing pain on his body as Uki attacked him with the fireball. He fell backwards holding his arm in pain as he let out a muffled groan of pain. " What the Hell. Why did you just burn me. Oh god it hurts so bad." He said as he had never been burned with fire that bad before. He held his arm where the fire had hit him. There was a pretty nasty burn on his arm as the flesh had already blistered. " I thought you were gonna help me. Your no better then the villagers." He said as he looked at Uki. He felt slightly betrayed.

Ren would notice that moments later, a healing light came from where the fireball had struck him. It would flow over his body and heals all wounds as well as give off a soothing sensation. Uki grinned as Ren was mesmerized by the first fireball. It had hurt because he still feared it, but when Ren took his focus off of the fireball and into his frustration, the fireball reacted accordingly. "It was not my intention to harm you. You never said anything about having no combat experience. I just assumed that you had some... but regardless....I'm sorry..."
Uki would also sense something about the chakra from Ren, it seemed to intensify slightly. He wondered if this was the start of Ren's powers breaking through. "Ren, try using your powers again... but do something real simple like creating a pillar between us."

Ren felt the healing sensation as he rubbed his arm it felt weird regardless." Um... How do i do that?" He said as he wasn't sure how to even use his energy to begin with. Ren was a farmer that's all he knew really he wasn't a fighter nor was he super intelligent. He sighed slightly as he looked down. " Sorry for being so hard, I've never fought a person in my life. I've never even raised my voice against someone in anger." He said as he wasn't sure what he should do. He saw people use their element but He had no idea how. " I'm pretty sure i'm just at this academy by mistake. I don't have any special powers like everyone seems to have. I'm just a simple outcast-ed farmer." He said as he still couldn't bring himself to make eye contact.

She smiles seeing making the hill behind him, she was debating on how to go about this, should she silence the sound user with an avalanche? After all, doesn't matter how much sound you make, when buried under snow the sound doesn't travel, or should they just make this a friendly game and she and her army of snowmen start throwing the snowballs, She points her hand towards him as the snowballs she created earlier goes flying towards him, she decided to keep this a friendly game, after all, what fun would it be to end it so soon? The snowmen took that as a cue and began making snowballs to throw around also, joining in on the fun and not really picking sides.
