Aries swiftly brought his left hand back and down, as he ducked underneath the oncoming attack, coming up on the other side of William's katana. The rod in his left hand coming around for a strike at the back of William's neck, simultaneously Aries started to bring up his left knee towards William's gut.
If the attack was successful, Aries would bring his knee into William's gut as he used the rod in his left hand to in a sense, pull William into the attack.

((Just letting everyone know that I added something new to the Notes section on the first page. "Fiend Spirits and Sealing", this is a must read for everyone. This is something that I should have explained quite a while ago but hadn't thought of since we haven't done much with Fiends yet.))

William realized that he had underestimated his opponents agility the instant that he ducked beneath his sword strike. He saw the staff section come back, hooking around to strike and pull, and saw his weight shift almost fully onto one leg. He sensed what Sol was about to do, and he was not in a favorable position to counter it. He threw his weight around, twisting his body counter clockwise and threw his own right knee up to block the impending attack. His left arm jerked up and back, behind his head, where he hoped to intercept the hooking staff with his bent bladed knife. He knew that this would leave him off balanced, but he hardly cared. It was batter than taking a knee to the gut or a staff to the head, and far preferable to both together.

He grinned as their knees clashed against the other, and his rod finding William's kukri. "Nice." Aries then proceeded to use his blocked knee as a means of propulsion, bringing his left arm towards his shoulder to remove it from the block of William's kukri, and his body quickly twisting counterclockwise and lowering his body so that the leg he had attacked with would come around and hopefully swipe William off his feet.

William also used the thrust of their knees to propel himself backwards, he landed in a reverse roll and came back up in a crouch. He quickly sheathed his kukri and tossed his katana over to his left hand. He then drew out his large nodachi, with its over four foot blade, angling it as he reached the limits of his arms extension so that the blade would come out of the slit that had been placed into the sheath to allow the extra long blade to be drawn from the hip. He rose to his feet, ready to fight once again. He hoed to but Sol on the defensive with his, now, superior reach. He rushed forward at the man, who had just completed a spin and sweep move, hoping to catch him before he could recover his stance. He led with the long blade of his nodachi sweeping in from his left to right.

Isaac nodded and leaned closer to Matt, "I think he is. Maybe we can learn something from this? Like not forgetting Emma?" Isaac whispered toward Matt. He was really excited at the idea of watching Emma fight someone. If these 'veterans' already said she was the best, he would have a lot to study at that point.
Emma pointed at Kiro for a moment, "But you are so lucky that I have to meet someone for lunch right now. You won't know when, you won't know how, but I will get you." Emma paused for a moment, "I believe a 'bwaha' is in order here." Emma commented as she spun and walked away. She waved and yelled back, "I'd invite you to join me, but it's really none of your business. And no Kiro and Matt, it's not a date either!" Emma shouted.
Train started to think himself into a calmer state as he walked. He was headed to the dorms, it was time for a nap for him. Quickly he turned his head a little to tighten the bindings in his hair, this was how he spotted Malkin. It was obvious that Malkin was following him, he seemed more focused on Train than the environment. ”Can I help you?” Train’s voice was tired, and laden with cynicism, but his eyes said otherwise. Train was being cautious, why would he be followed?

"Sure, sure." Kiro repeated as Emma warned him of her future plot against him. A little after Emma was out of ear shot he leaned to Matt. "Why would she let us know it's not a date? Are you into her or something?" Kiro asked suspiciously.
(( Gah, that was a terrible post. ))

Malkin stopped.
"Sorry. I'm beyond lost. I figured you would be heading towards the cafeteria seeing as it's lunch time. I'm recognizing some of these buildings as the path to the dorms. I apologize for the discomfort," he said cautiously, not wanting to offend. Already pissed off enough people. Don't want another to kill me. "If you could guide me in the correct direction, I won't bother you any longer or ever again, for that matter."

Aries was aware that William had rolled out of the area where his attack would reach, so using the leg he was spinning on, he pushed himself up, finishing his spin, standing and facing the nodachi and katana wielding William as he started to move in for the attack.
Aries pushed himself toward William, and as the wielder of the nodachi began his attack, Aries dove, rolling under the sweep of the blade, planting his feet on the other side of the sweeping blow, a foot or so to William's left side, and still in front of him. His feet planted, he pushed up, the rod in his left arm coming up in an uppercut pattern aimed to strike under William's jaw. The rod in Aries' right hand ready for any attacks, William may try with his katana.

"Yeah," Matt whispered back. "That girls got a wicked temper. She's usually fairly easy going, but if you get her worked up then you've more than likely got a fight on your hands."
Matt watched Emma as she departed from their little group. He straightened up to his full, though not excessive, height and looked down at the new kid.
"So, there's still an hour or two til lunch time. wanna get in some training or something? We could play a game back at the dorms. There's always weight training, too." Matt said, beaming down at the younger Hunter, his cocky grin plastered on his face once again.
William stepped forward and to the right with his left leg, moving his face out of the path of the coming strike. He had stepped into the attack though, and hoped to catch Sols striking arm underneath his own armpit, between his arm and body, trapping it there. He rotated his right wrist and began to reverse his swing, bringin his nodachi back towards Sol, point first this time.

Isaac cocked his head to the side in curiosity, these men didn't see what she was saying? He impressed himself with this tid-bit. "I think she meant not to get any thoughts. I'm not entirely sure why, maybe she thinks you two are perverts?" Isaac commented. He smiled at the pair then, "Do you two get that kind of reaction a lot?"
Isaac, then stuck his tongue out. "Psst. Weight training..." Isaac practically moaned, he obviously wasn't a big fan. "What about one of the other things? I'm alright with either one of those. But no weight training, I hate that."
Train sighed, "Sure. Perhaps you would be better off with a map, or a full tour." Train was being sarcastic, of course. Like he would ever give Malkin a full tour. Taking a deep breath, "Come on." Train muttered as he started to walk in the opposite direction they had been traveling in. He removed from his pocket then, a piece of charcoal and a scroll he would normally used for sealing. As he scribbled on the paper he looked up occasionally to make sure he wasn't on a collision course.
It was hardly a minute when Train stopped walked, rather suddenly and turned around again. "Here," Train said as he handed Malkin the scroll. "Aforementioned map. And this is your stop." Train said as he started to head back to the dorms without another word. If he asked, Train made a map only so that he didn't have to show him around. Well, that was half the reason. The other half was that he was over tired and not quite himself.
Emma tooted a little as she made a face at Train as he walked past her. She had to duck the quick jab that he threw before moving on. She snickered as she tromped up behind Malkin and threw her arm around his shoulder. "Find the place okay? I know how awesome you are with this whole location thing." Emma chuckled.
(Sorry to kind of fast forward and powerplay a little. But Train wouldn't have spoken a word anyway.

"Eh, count me out." Kiro commented on the thought of weight training or playing a game. Kiro began to walk away but turned back to face Matt and Isaac. "I'm no pervert! I was created to fight!" Kiro asserted, giving Isaac a glare.

Malkin thanked the stranger carefully looking at the map, trying to get the layout in his mind. Buildings began to align and place themselves as he immersed himself into constructing the mental 3d image of the place only to be thrownt when Emma surprised him.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. I've been here a while and this is the first map I've ever seen. Haven't really been looking for one though. Haven't really been looking for anything. Wonder what the cafeteria is like? I've gone in once, when I was new," he trailed off distractedly. "So shall we head to the cafeteria? I think I can find it. Sorta." Malkin finished laughing slightly, nodding in the direction it would be, if he read the map right.
((No problem. I wouldn't have said anything. Train's char isn't talkative and Malkin picked up on it. Only thing said would have been a thanks or not necessary, just point.))

Isaac looked at Kiro and shrugged his shoulders, "What? It's not like I called you a pervert. I'm just saying I bet that's why she said it." Isaac looked a little weirded out, but he had very quickly, pretty much suddenly grew much bolder. Although he usually wanted to introduce his personality to others a little more gradually, he figured these people could take it.
Emma nodded to Malkin, but then grabbed the map from him and pointed straight ahead of them. She handed Malkin back the map upside-down. Or in this case, right-side up. "It's just like Train to do something 'kind' and twist the deed around..." Emma thought as she pointed, "You should make a mark so you know which side is up. Anyway, Train actually brought you right to the Mess Hall. If you see him again, see if you can actually make a friend out of him. He'll help you out a lot, should the feeling ever strike him again. Which will be very rare... Anyway, come on!" Emma said excitedly as she made her way inside.

Kiro simply turned around now and made on his way back to the dormitories. Kiro entered the cafeteria on his way to his room. The cooks appeared to be setting up for lunch, but Kiro wasn't in the mood to eat. He had already eaten a decent breakfast and was used to eating only one meal a day anyway.
What's with everyone today? They're all excited for no reason. It's just a regular day... Kiro thought to himself, now entering the dormitories and starting to go on stairs. He made his way to the top floor and onto the roof where he had saw William that same morning.
