Exwire Being a warrior and one with bird like features wasn’t just for show, Garuda’s sight was greater than a typical bird and much greater than the average human, so watching her prey allowed her to notice very small details even in the method of how she stood or the small bullets of sweat dripping down the young girl’s pale face. Garuda squawked calling for a powerful wind to blow as she flapped her wings towards Alexandria releasing hundreds of feathers as if they were daggers towards her. If Alexandria knew her demonology well she would have known that Garuda was Kin of Anyanka, and that each feather of a demon that was kin of Anyanka had the sharpness of a sword. Although the feathers weren’t the only thing sharp, the wind was as well, granting the feathers blinding speeds to hurl towards the Knight as Garuda came charging in from above with both blades raised to strike downward with both blades.
”I should have brought snacks or something, this way too much fun.” he said to himself after listening to Alexandria talk as if she could defeat a Wind Demon on her own. The type of demon Garuda was wasn’t just something any tamer could call forth without having the proper catalyst to summon, it took a lot of time and planning for him to make the pact with her. Garuda was his shield if Innocentius was his sword. ”Like a bird of prey she’s using a similar tactic most large birds use to take down smaller prey. Using an attack that could possible kill the opponent but coming down from above for the kill.”
Turning his head slightly to view his other channel he began to watch the fight between Innocentius and Victor, and surprisingly Victor was actually nimble and had some skills; although that should have been obvious for him to make it to Exwire. ”Qi to attack Innocentius, you won’t be able to kill him like that, the more you blow away the fire and spread it the faster he’ll recover and attack you.” Ignazio muttered as he watched as the flaming giant turned back to its original color of fire before being ripped apart by the Qi until nothing was standing. There wasn’t even a body, just fire spread around the field, but like a phoenix from the ashes the flames reassembled. No matter how many times Victor snuffs out the flames the fire would keep coming back. Innocentius’ body instantly reformed expelling a powerful wave of heat and fire as it formed, once again holding its cross sword, but the sword wasn’t green it was just the normal color of fire. Innocentius let out a howl again releasing a sea of fire from underneath him and towards the Exwire. At this point Innocentius was burning at its hottest setting; 3,000 degrees Celsius so the very aura of him would melt flesh for just coming in range. Ignazio wasn’t playing around now, as he allowed the fiend to feed off of his Qi in order to raise the temperatures.

 Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand
Doctor || Knight || ExwireThe demon seemed to screech as Alexandria lifted Avarice to challenge it. She wondered if the demon knew about the poisoned blade. The bird demon then began flapping its wings, powerful winds and dagger-like feathers being hurled in her direction. While, Alexandria managed to avoid the brunt of the attack with a quick reflexive handspring towards the back side of the training ground; flattening her palms as she landed, Alexandria was careful to gasp her blade once more as she pushed off from the ground then landing on her feet some distance away. Alexandria felt the demon’s feather blades cut into the bottom portion of her hakama as she had dove forward. She could feel blood from new cuts trickling down her legs. The wounds were only flesh wounds. ‘Now I’ll have to get this fixed…’ Alexandria thought to herself. She watched the bird begin to close the distance.
The demon, too, was preparing to dive- not unlike a bird of prey. A readable move that while dangerous to counter- would be her course of action.
The demon did an aerial charge, blades first. An aggressive charge that would be harder to turn into a defensive stance once the counter attack was made. As the demon got close enough to perhaps taste the kill, Alexandria simply side stepped the motion, creating distance to open up an angle to the demon’s core. She lunged forward towards the demon’s abdomen, minimizing the distance for Avarice’s blade to connect- for the poison to begin to take effect.

 Victor Rodrigo de Asturias
Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Victor took a second to catch his breath watching the demon disperse. Then, in as short of a time, it came back together and aflame once again. Although, to Victor's relief, it was without green. As the demon reassembled, heat began to surge terribly. In a second or two, Victor began to feel his skin burn. He saw the demon shoot out a sea of flames that flowed towards Victor like an explosion. With all haste, Victor turned and dashed towards the hole that had been made in the wall of the gymnasium and dove inside just as the flames caught up to him. The flames poured in, passing Victor who had his back to the inside of the wall. Once the flames dispersed, Victor dried the sweat that came pouring down from his brow. He silently cursed as he looked out from the inside of the building to see everything melting and catching fire. Even looking out from the building too long threatened to burn his exposed face. Turning back to the inside of the sparing room, Victor shook his head. Why couldn't it have been an ice demon? Victor thought as he looked around. He took in the room in a second, looking for options. He spotted a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall and quickly ran to it. He read the label and saw that it was classified as a "B" extinguisher. Sodium Bicarbonate Victor pulled it off the wall and held it in one hand as if weightless. He looked up at the ceiling and nodded. Victor threw out his hand, palm open. The panels that held lights were then covered with Victor's Qi. He then made a pulling motion and the plastic panels were pulled out. Victor repeated the motion and pulled out more than a dozen, long, fluorescent light bulbs. He carefully piled them together using his Qi and approached the pile. He quickly pushed the pile towards the hole with the ends of the bulbs facing the demon. Victor then put the fire extinguisher down and closed his eyes. He made a motion as if gathering the air around him and inhaling before bringing his palms facing down by his neck and pushed downward past his chest and waist, exhaling. With that, his Qi had been focused on Victor's body, covering him with a layer concentrated enough to make him look as if he was glowing a dark orange light. He then grabbed hold of the fire extinguisher and ran out of the hole. He knew the demon could see him so he made his best efforts to avoid him. The Qi that enveloped Victor did well to shield him from teh heat but as Victor circled around the demon, he could see the very walls of the building that faced the demon, begin to melt. It was a shocking sight. When Victor's run had been done, he skidded to a halt at a position one hundred and eighty degrees around the demon from where he initially was which left him without a building to shield him except for a rather intact looking storage house but that was a good sprint away. Victor wasted no time and held up the fire extinguisher. He cocked back and threw it directly for the demon's head. If it made contact, it would rupture due to the heat and expelling a cloud of carbon dioxide that would dispel the flames from the demon's head before evaporating into the air. When Victor had thrown it, he had covered it with Qi, shielding it from perhaps a blow of the sword or licks of flames because Victor knew that when the fire extinguisher burst, the effect would not last more than a few seconds. Victor didn't wait to see what the demon would do to the incoming extinguisher and quickly extended his hand at the demon and made a pulling motion. While the demon would find that Victor had not made a direct attack, the pile of light bulbs flew in their direction and crashed at the feet of the demon which Victor then threw his hands out in front of him. The light bulbs released their contents of Argon in a large cloud which was then contained with the demon inside a spherical dome barrier around the demon. At first, the heat was incredible to contain inside the barrier but with the Argon, the flames would disappear due to it's properties as an asphyxiant gas and without letting the gas escape into the atmosphere, it would remain inside with the demon, not allowing fire to form due to the lack of oxygen.

Exwire With Alexandria’s dodge Garuda’s blades hit the ground heavily causing a massive explosion of wind. The force alone should have been enough to push Alexandria back from the seer power of the aftershock. Garuda was still hovering in the air as the blade made its way through the smoke caused by the blades but after watching the aerobatic abilities of Alexandria the pazuzu demon expected her to come in. The blade made a connection but it wasn’t towards flesh. The sound of metal seemed to scratch through the air as Garuda forced her wings forward to cover her body. The wings acted as a shield and with a push back in order to take flight again the blade that made contact with the wings should either have been launched away taking Alexandria with it, which could cause some damage to her arm if she wasn’t grounded properly or it would be able to smack away the blade from the Knight’s hand if the grip wasn’t held properly. With her wings opened now Garuda pushed towards Alexandria’s body and began to strike rapidly with a combination of slashes from left and right as well as a diagonal slashes with both blades instead of just one with the single left and right slashes. This strikes were quick and fierce attempting to leave no time for an opening other than to dodge the majority of the strike. Garuda wasn’t attempting to really cut her she was using the cutting power of the wind to slice through the girl’s clothing for every time she would dodge. Although, being able to notice this would take either an outsider’s take on the situation or for Alexandria to stop running from the demon if she took that route.
Ignazio watched as Alexandria performed a reckless dodge in order to avoid not only the wind and quills but the blades themselves, and after that make an attempt to strike Garuda. ”That was reckless, and now you’re in a pretty bad pinch. Fighting close range with a mid-level demon like a Pazuzu isn’t smart. It’s a reckless move unless you know a lot about them. Garuda hasn’t even started to use any of her really powers yet.” But as Ignazio was making his comment Victor had made a turn for the better. ”Innocentius!” he yelled through telepathy causing the beast to erupt into a large wall of golden flames and gold like Qi rapidly spinning around the flames destroying everything within a five meter perimeter of his body. As the golden flames started to die down Innocentius’ true body was exposed. Using a great deal of energy from Ignazio the young Tamer clinched his chest slightly and began to breath slightly heavier with shallow breaths. ”Damn it. To think I had to transfer so much Qi over to him to bring for those flames.” Ignazio stood up straight and then stumbled backwards slightly before lowering his body to the ground slowly to take a seat. ”Garuda…I can’t supply you with any additional Qi for a while, Innocentius used up quite a bit. So for that you both are on you own.”
“Forgive us master.” Both demons cried out in unison as they continued their battles. Innocentius’ body began to slowly recover by calling the flames from around to his body in order to repair his armor of fire.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias
Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year Just when Victor thought he had the demon quenched of fire, bright light filled the barrier dome and suddenly it was all too much to contain. Victor's barrier was shattered for all that he had put into it was not enough for an explosion. He was thrown back from the force of his own Qi being blown away. Victor tumbled a few times before looking up to see the demon get surrounded by golden flames and a golden Qi. Victor knew these flames well as connected with the demon Iblis. He could feel the very energy of the other Aria but where it came from, Victor did not know, not yet. Once the flames subsided, Victor got a clear view of the demon's true form, ugly as it was, it didn't surprise him. It was almost familiar, as if he had dreamed it before. Victor got up off his stomach and felt his body notably heavier. It was from the Qi he had used in shielding himself. The layer that he had coated himself with was gone now but it had served his purpose. Dusting himself off, Victor saw the demon begin to slowly recover his armor. "That was quite a flashy show. It looks like your master didn't like what was happening to his pet." Victor stretched his right arm by rotating it at the shoulder. I thought that these two had to be someone's familiars and with that last blast of Qi, I'm sure of it. It could be two of them, a Tamer and an Aria or maybe just one who carries both talents. He'd have to be somewhere that he could see what was going on down here. Victor thought as he looked around. He looked over the building and the bleachers, the clocktower rooftop and the field. He saw someone standing out in the distance at the clocktower but the snow had already begun to fall again and the winds carried it strongly. The blizzard had only subsided when the fire demon's flames burned hot enough to melt anything a few dozen meters away and now it was back. Victor closed his eyes and felt for that stranger's Qi but found that it was not the same. It was a powerful signature but one all together different from the one just displayed. As Victor searched the nearby area it struck him. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the storehouse. It had survived all of the demon's attacks but was close enough to see what was happening through it's windows. He glanced over at the training field and saw the feathered demon send wind attacks down on Alexandria but she evaded as best she could. She looked remarkable in what she was wearing and to take on the demon herself was brave. By the looks of things, Victor had gotten lucky. She's in trouble. I better hurry. Victor thought. He took the opportunity to run to the store house. If he was right, he would find who was responsible for the attack or perhaps some one who was aiding them like a pair of eyes. Victor sped up, not wanting to catch a pillar of fire to the back. He reached the store house door and leaped into a flying kick. It was a bit much for the door as it was shot in the opposite direction, giving way to Victor.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand
Doctor || Knight || ExwireThe bird’s collision with the ground caused a film of concrete dust to rise, blinding Alexandria’s vision. She didn't strike flesh but some kind of steel. The dust drifted toward to ground to reveal the demon’s wings shielding its body. Evidently the demon flew with swords for wings and feathers of steel. ‘Amazing it is even capable of flight…’ She thought as the demon opened its wings once more the force of it would send her flying back- although she would land on her feet, crouching some distance away. She quickly surveyed the area; the demon had sent her perhaps thirty feet from where the small storage room was. But in means of anything terribly useful, there wasn't much in sight. Other than trees and a dead power line in the distance the ground was clear.
The demon began to close the distance with a dive- it then seemed to begin to wildly wave its weapons in diagonal fashion- not a terribly dangerous use of the swords? But the wind created began to cut through the long sleeves of her mint colored furisode style kimono.”I see your quite the pervert, demon.” Alexandria called out to it. She was growing tired of Garuda. The stupid bird b***h only seemed interested in a strip show. There wasn't much point in running if she still wanted to be wearing something. Alexandria then leaped towards the demon, quickly using a flicking like motion to disrupt the current diagonal motion followed rapidly by a stabbing strike towards the demon’s forearm. ‘This can’t be my most brilliant plan..’ She thought to herself, ‘But either I engage it or simply accept I've been outclassed by a ******** bird.’ The demon seemed to screech to its master- an apology. Alexandria hadn't been keeping tabs on what possibly had been happening in the gymnasium- her attention keen on Garuda, no matter how annoying she was quickly becoming. But- perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing, for her at least?

Exwire Ignazio’s head turned to the right instantly as the door jet open and without a second thought he reached his left arm behind him and grabbed a cylinder object with a curved handle, the color of the object was olive green and the nozzle was a burnt orange, it was a smoke grenade. As Ignazio was about to toss it towards the open door a torrent of fire came crashing down in front of him and soon the shed was a blaze. Innocentius stood in front of his master shielding him from being seen, but because of his haste movements Innocentius’ body was still exposed, all but his upper body was covered in the flames. Ignazio leaned his back against the wall and sighed ’How much energy does this guy have, he’s like the damn Energizer Bunny. He’s exerted so much Qi protecting himself and fighting, yet he doesn’t seem the least bit tired.’ ”Innocentius, leave no bones or ash” he said once again through telepathy. The fire giant roared loudly; as a sphere of fire formed in his left hand and then in his right were green flames. Innocentius released both sphere of fire in the form of a large sea melting and setting everything a blaze as it touched. The heat was incredible, even as his master Ignazio was feeling the heat. Controlling his breathing he placed the grenade away and then began to draw a magic circle within the air in front of him with his eyes closed. He was officially annoyed with these antics and as much as he would wish to avoid showing any of his aria skills he was backed into a small corner now. The glyph formed that moved backwards until it slapped the wall creating a barrier for Ignazio. Ignazio sat down and then closed his eyes once more before thinking to himself. ’The point of coming to this area was because it was being protected, but because Innocentius came down here and saved me from being seen one of two things could happen. One, he leaves this area because Innocentius showed up or two he stays and tries to fight off Innocentius to confirm his suspicions of Innocentius’ master being here. So the best option here right now is…’ Ignazio opened his eyes and changed his position in which he was sitting to a kneel, he kept his head bowed and clasped his hands together as if he was beginning to pray. ”The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forgot God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectations of the poor shall not perish forever.”
Meanwhile with Garuda, the winged beast was doing as she was instructed until she was parried by the girl. Garuda used the motion to bring her other hand with the blade in connection with the rose ended sword. Pushing backwards Garuda made some distances and looked at the store house which was on fire. “Please forgive me, Master. I will finish her off and do as I was instructed about that creature.” Garuda said as she asked for forgiveness once again before reattaching both her wings to her body and then grabbed a single feather from her upper wings and created a bow. Taking aim she looked at the girl with cold eyes. “I’m sorry but the game ends here. I won’t allow you to take up anymore time, I have something better to do now. So, it’s over from here on” she said as she pulled back the light thread connecting the bow and an arrow of wind began to form, but it wasn’t like before the wind was swirling in more than one direction and it was visible. A large torrent of cool and hot air connected as Garuda looked over at the storehouse for a second with her right eye and then went back to focus on the girl and released a burst of energy was caused a tornado to form above her and the girl. “With this arrow…you will die.”

  The snow on the ground beneath his feet always felt odd, but as he took more steps, it began to feel more and more natural. Having asked around, he was finally pointed in the direction of the training area, only to have bright lights illuminate the sky in the training area's general direction. To this effect his pace began to hasten, and before long, he was running in the direction of the flashing lights. The closer he got to the source of the lights, the more flames began to coat the surrounding areas, and in response, Lloyd began to tread carefully as he maneuvered through the area. In time, he came to a halt outside the Gymnasium, only to bear witness to an ongoing battle between two exorcists and likewise, two demons. A female Knight, and a male Fighter were battling against the two demons, and having begun his observation rather later than when he assumed the fight had started, he couldn't really tell just who was winning. Even so, as he continued to watch, he would not step in and interfere with their battles. "Aren't you going to help them Lloyd?" questioned Celebron as he fell forwards only to be caught by Lloy'd outstretched hands. Bringing the familiar closer to his body and away from the heat that he could feel from even such a distance he responded. "I would not want someone to interrupt my fight unless I could no longer stand to defend myself. In which case, I shall treat them the same as I would wish to be treated." With that, his eyes looked back to the fight at hand only to watch the fight at hand. The large winged creature had declared that the games were over, and as it formed a bow in its hand, Lloyd looked back to the female to see what her move would be in response to the bird releasing its arrow. The heat surrounding the area had become something of a nuisance, and as he watched, small amounts of perspiration began to form around his brow.

Victor Rodrigo de Asturias
Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year The moment Victor burst into the shed, he had caught a glimpse of something white. It was a contrast to the darker room but that was all that was discerned before everything lit up in fire. Victor covered his face instinctively then looked to find that the demon had caught up much more quickly than Victor had estimated. It was a display of the loss of stamina Victor had incurred. He took pride in being quick and the slower demon would have never caught up so quickly if Victor wasn't tiring. It seemed, however, that the demon looked to be at half strength as well. His upper body was still exposed but his lower half had recovered its flame. Victor then watched as the demon roared and form sphere's of fire in his hands. Before the demon let Victor have them, he jumped out of the window, just in time at that. Green and red fire burst from the windows and door frame, burning everything it came in contact with. Victor had landed just outside the wall and had rolled to a position right against the wall, prone. It was like a flame thrower of a mix of napalm and tar. Those green flames were treacherous and Victor didn't want to risk using the last of his Qi to make contact with them. High crawling to the other side of the building, Victor could feel the quickly increasing temperature of the wall beside him and it felt as if the flames were about to burst through at any minute. Making it to the other side of the shed, he would be against the same wall that the other Aria was. Victor knelt against the wall and tried to shout over the roaring flames. He would be against the same wall that the other Aria was. "Hey, look, I think you've proved your point! You got some hot friends, but so what? You're surrounded by exorcists and it's only a matter of time before they come crashing down on you, so why don't you take this moment to make a run for it?" Victor shouted. At the same time, he was watching the bird demon take Alexandria's swordsmanship in stride. Victor thought that he could possibly end the fight if he got a shot of Qi from the other Aria in the gymnasium, but they were a good ways away now and probably hiding. Another option would have been to utilize his grenade set but Victor had happily left it in his dorm room, nice and cozy. He could feel the Qi of the other Aria just on the other side of the wall, surely protecting himself from the very flames of his own ally.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand
Doctor || Knight || ExwireGaruda countered Alexandria’s counter-strike once more. Although this time the demon countered with the opposite blade. The demon then pushed its self away from her with a flap of wings; although this time the demon didn't send a strong cutting breeze with it. Perhaps a sign of its decreasing strength; but Alexandria also put some distance between them with a defensive leap backwards. The air was growing unusually hot and there were sounds of fire gaining momentum not terribly far away. Alexandria looked towards the small warehouse; flames could be seen growing stronger from the side closest to the gymnasium. Victor must have been there; otherwise the fire demon was unlikely to keep so close to its master without Garuda’s presence. Alexandria had assumed the tamer was hidden within the warehouse; a quick glance to the wind demon seemed to confirm her suspicions. The demon spoke to its master once more- yet another apology to the tamer as well as mention of a plan about the “creature”; probably the fiery apparition she had seen within the dojo.
Alexandria watched the creature as it spoke- it seemed slightly uneasy about the situation. It began to reattach its wings and plucked a single feather from one of its ornate wings. From the single feather a bow was formed as it compacted and stretched with the wind. Garuda then spoke to her in a voice that might just have brought the chill back into the arena. Although- it wouldn't matter much as the fiery fiend’s flames were creating a lot of excess heat. That and the flames would no doubt be inching towards the demon’s master the longer the wind demon idled. She attempted to belittle Alexandria with her words, as if the she, herself, had made much headway in the battle. The wind demon was beginning to look like the fiery fiend she seemed to keep herself above. Destructive with nothing to show for it. Alexandria said nothing as she watched the demon pull back the thread. The arrow that formed seemed to be of wind- although probably stronger than the six she’d sent out before. This tornado was already contorting before she even released the shot. Garuda once more spoke on idle terms of Alexandria’s untimely demise- something that was once more to be unfulfilled.
Once Garuda released the arrow a large tornado formed over their heads. Although- oddly enough Garuda did not yet leave Alexandria to her impeding ‘doom’; the demon stayed as the vortex was forming above. Alexandria quickly scanned the area; she really wouldn't have much variety about her shelter from the storm. The closest option being the warehouse, which was questionably safe at this point. Or the trees- which wouldn't offer much protection regardless. Alexandria would need to make a swift decision- the wind was beginning to pick up as the vortex began it’s decent. ‘Not sure what’s worse.. Standing in the eye of the storm or running into a burning building because of a tornado watch~’ Alexandria thought to herself sarcastically as she knew staying still would indeed kill her. She began a run and then preformed one of her front handsprings to gain distance towards the building. Careful once more to be mindful of her positioning of her hands as she propelled herself from the ground landing not terribly far from the nearest door.”You best find your master~ Who knows what trouble he has gotten himself into~” Alexandria called out tauntingly to the demon. Alexandria, herself, wasn't terribly interested in finding the tamer anymore. But instead her goal was rather to stay clear of the fire on the other end of the building- and out of the wind tunnel. She wasn't worried about Garuda sending it towards her- instead hoping the demon would seek to lick it’s masters wounds- the wind demon wouldn't let him burn would she?
Alexandria opened the door; the air was oppressively hot inside. Regardless she kept her blade drawn and slowly made her way into the hallway. She stood uneasily against the back wall- watching the open path of the hallway before her- for now it was clear.

Exwire The young Barthomeloi looked up at Innocentius who had a large amount of flame gathered pointed at his master, Ignazio had actually though his familiar had gone crazy for a second so he actually started reinforcing his barrier. But then Ignazio stopped chanting and started to laugh rather hysterically as he heard Victor’s voice and ‘warning’ after the warning he actually thought about allowing Innocentius to strike his barrier and cause an explosion, the only thing was did he actually want to risk getting injured in the explosion. ”That’s rich, it sounds more like you’re tired and don’t want to play anymore with Innocentius to me.” he said as he stood up and held the card of the Knight and placed it in the air. ”Innocentius, return to your powers confined.” he muttered as the flames raged rapidly before being absorbed into the card along with the demon drying up the blood leaving the magic circle on the back of the card burning red in color. Ignazio placed the card back into his holster, which only left Garuda out playing around with Alexandria. Ignazio made his way out of the burnt wood and the ash of the door, or at least the remains of it. He walked around the building looked down at Victor as the temperature was quickly returning back to normal and the snow began to fall once again, but the increasing winds seemed to be stronger than before due to Garuda’s wrath it seemed. ”I guess I’ve collected enough data for tonight, you’re not half bad as a Fighter or an Aria, although I’m actually shocked you didn’t bother using any Fatal Verses, don’t you think it would have been wiser to use one of those. I mean, even Alexandria over there is managing to keep her clothes attached, even after I had Garuda attack her clothes on purpose rather than strike to kill” With that being said Ignazio reached into his jacket’s inner pocket and grabbed the Tarot card which had the image of the Archer on it. The magic circle and the blood that was rubbed across it was glowing white and sparkled with gold energy, he held the card a little higher than his shoulder and right as he was about to call back Garuda the wind was sent flying for the storehouse. Ignazio looked up and saw Garuda, he quickly ran over to Victor’s side and raised his free hand into the air and expelled two layers of Qi to form a double layered barrier to shield both of them as he slid to a stop. ”Garuda!” he yelled but it was too late. Instead of the single arrow of wind over a thousand of arrows were sent flying into the building from above. Garuda was above the building holding a pose after releasing the bow and the arrows which seemed to form from the winds from the created by the tornado. Garuda wasn’t one to be talked down to from a Human, she didn’t even allow her own master to talk down to her. The wind struck the warehouse hundreds of times and the stray arrows stabbed into the barrier but were deflected. The constant thunder sound from the crashing wood only proved the demon was serious. Ignazio kept his eyes focused on where Garuda was located but the thick smoke screen that was forming from the snow, dirt, and wood being sliced to ribbons was making it rather difficult for him to see. ”Return to your powers confined!” He yelled over the roaring winds as the wind stopped and the demon was gone allowing Ignazio to drop the barrier and take a step away from Victor. ”Stupid commoner, just had to tick off a Pazuzu, they are prideful creatures. I hope you didn’t die in there, you crazy b***h.” Ignazio called out to the rubble.

Fighter || Aria || Exwire || 1st Year A thousand things were going through Victor's mind as he waited for an answer. He looked around, eying several tools outside the shed and a single horizontal tank of what Victor guessed to be gasoline or water. He glanced towards Alexandria's side of the field and saw that the wind demon had unleashed several more attacks on her. Victor knew that Alexandria was competent but was quite amazed at how she was able to keep up with the demon. The demon looked swift, something akin to Victor's velocity. When the bird demon looked to charge an attack larger than Alexandria could handle, Victor saw his friend run his way. He turned himself on his other side, seeing where she was headed and shouted for her. "Alexandria, wait!" It appeared that she hadn't hear him through the roaring of the winds and fire and had entered the shed along with the fire demon and the mystery aria. After a second, he heard the one who would be the other aria laugh. Suddenly the sweltering heat of the demon subsided and it's light had disappeared. The aria had meant it all to be like a game from the beginning although it seemed for several instances that he had been trying to eliminate Victor for good. In the end, it had left Victor gassed and sweaty. He got to his feet as he heard footsteps from around the shed. To Victors great surprise, it was Ignazio. An expression of confusion was apparent on Victors face followed by one of unpleasantness. It had all apparently been to gather information on them and their abilities. He asked why Victor hadn't used his Fatal Verses and that was a good question but Victor simply didn't feel in the right state of mind to answer. Before he could speak, Victor spotted the bird demon soaring over them, preparing an attack. He was about to go for the shed when Ignazio stepped closer and shielded them with a well constructed double layer barrier, most likely used due to the lower levels of Qi the aria had left. The demon unleashed more arrows than anyone could count and they rained down on both of them and through the shed. It came down like a rainstorm, tearing into the small building. "Alexandria!" Victor shouted, as he stood helplessly watching the building get pelted. Once the salvo was over, the demon had returned to it's tarot card in Ignazio's possession. With the barrier lifted, Victor simply kicked the remaining shambles of a wall to look for Alexandria. Ignazio spoke of Alexandria as if she was garbage and Victor resented him for it.If she's.....he'll pay. He thought grimly and anxiously. "Alexandria!" He called out to her again, turning over roof shingles and cabinets along with an array of landscaping tools and fertilizers.

Alexandria Elaine Ferdinand
Doctor || Knight || Exwire The wind seemed to howl still from the open door. It wasn't long after Alexandria felt the odd sensation she would sometimes get before something “bad” happened. It wasn't unlike butterflies in the stomach around a crush- but instead a rush of adrenaline. She sheathed her sword as she peeled herself from the wall, bracing herself as she prepared for the worst. As the arrows began to strike the building- a uncountable number of them raining down on the building above her.. Alexandria would seem to dodge much of the debris and stray arrows without much trouble; her body twisting and contorting as she made her way. She after all was a primary Doctor- she had a unique sense of avoiding danger. Alexandria made her way down the hallway- mostly unscathed with a combination of what many referred to as “luck”, her acrobatic skill, but in addition to the sensation that seemed to guide her feet amongst the fallen rubble. She could feel a few new cuts and scratches but they weren't broken bones or a worse outcome.
The thick dust cloud and bits of debris were beginning to settle to the ground as she heard familiar voices a short distance away. She caught on to the tail end of conversation, mainly Ignazio yelling in her general direction- scolding her about pissing off his pet bird. But then to see perhaps if she had managed to live- it might have been a surprise after all.
Alexandria couldn't help but laugh,”Perhaps you should teach it to not make idle death threats~” She called back. She couldn't quite see them yet but she made her way over the piles of wood, dirt, snow and other random objects. Looking down she realized she was coated with dust and promptly began to dust herself off. She heard Victor calling for her- he seemed pretty upset. Alexandria began to walk towards their general direction calling out to Victor,”You don’t need to sound so anxious~” She said, clearly in a happier mood. Something about a challenge was exhilarating for her. After a short while she could see both Victor who seemed to be searching for her as well as Ignazio standing not too terribly far away.”You know, thanks to your stupid bird I’ll have to get my hakama repaired.” Alexandria told Ignazio with an annoyed tone to her voice. ‘Or perhaps I’ll buy a new one- That could be nice~’ She thought to herself. Although the damage done could have been worse- it was something she would have to attend to before the week was done.

 【 Tavion Vega ≎ Fighter ≎ Dragoon 】☼ Interpreter of Condolences ☼ 【 Southern Flame General | Acting Paladin | True Cross Academy Headmaster | Arc Knight 】 ✖ ╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲ ✖ Tavion clapped as the fight had ceased to continue Ignazio's familiar being called back to there resting places. "That was a brilliant display of talent!" He said to himself excitedly pushing off the guard rail assuming a straight-up position once more. All though Alexandria and Victor hadn't realized it, they were actually a pretty good team. Everything was in tandem and they both had kept each others enemies from attacking the other. "They most certainly she be placed on the same team. But as for as the Bathomeloi brat..." He paused looking out in the distance at the trio. "He seems to work better alone. I would like to see how he works in team. Maybe I'll take trial run them during weekend break." He said again as he walked off leaving the three to themselves once more.

Exwire Ignazio turned his head and looked up at the winter sky before placing Garuda’s card back into his holster and began to walk away. ”I tried once, and I nearly lost my life over that. Garuda doesn’t make idle threats, the goal wasn’t to kill you it was to gather information, and I did what I needed to get what I wanted. As for that last bit, if I didn’t stop her she would have continued to fire until she knew there was no chance of surviving. Be happy she didn’t use any of her other skills. Pazuzu’s are extremely fast, she could have struck you down within seconds if that was the goal, or don’t you remember the quick display of using her wing as a shield and only striking at your clothes. I mean that goofy Japanese wannabe get up doesn’t suit you anyways, it’s not really battle worthy for someone that uses a Rapier. Even I know that.” he snarled before turning back and looking at Victor in a slightly different sight then he did before. Instead of his slight calm and concerning eyes of a prince there stood the cold eyes of a king. They weren’t friendly at all, they were just like daggers. ”Stop crying like a baby over her, she didn’t die and I wasn’t going to let her die, I have a lot more Qi than you do, even now after controlling two familiars, I really didn’t use a lot of energy other than to give Innocentius a slight edge in your battle; it was a miscalculation on my part. But your stunts to fight a Fiend were incredibly reckless, using martial arts to attack something that is born of fire, and using so much Qi as not only a shield but as a weapon too. You’re lucky you weren’t burnt alive, and you’re lucky you don’t look like swizz cheese right now.”
Ignazio stood there with his uniform perfectly intake and his energy returning to him. Being of Barthomeloi blood did have its advantages for cases just like this, but not all the time would he be able to recover this fast if he was using Fatal Verses to back up his familiars or even fight himself. He flipped his hair from the front of his eyes and turned to look back at the two. ”You know, if you like her so much, maybe you should have let Innocentius kill all the others at the gym and went to save her from Garuda, I mean you noticed her Qi signature just as I did and I’m pretty sure you’ve memorized its color, texture, and wavelength already. From what I hear girls like her are just waiting for a man to come and save them, no matter how tough they act.” Ignazio said as he baited them. Around Ignazio were dozens of spheres of Qi rotating around his body, most people couldn’t see Qi unless they had experience using it like an Aria or a Tamer and even some fighters, but most of the time a Knight could never see Qi even if they were trained to use basic Qi. Ignazio may have sounded harsh but he was only telling the truth about the two. He reported what he saw and how he felt about it in the least harshest manner he could; too bad to most people it still sounded like he was talking down to them as if they were ants and he was a spider waiting for them to step into his web.
