((I assume that you either watched deadliest warrior or did your research))
House sighed. It looked like he would have to fight after all. It was fine though, his fighting style would be like one of House's medical files, just another puzzle to figure out. He looked down at his leg and wondered it this would be smart. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the pill bottle and gulped down a few more pills. He knew it would dull his senses, but if he needed to, he would be able to put a decent amount of pressure on his bad leg if he had to. Looking at those blades, he had to put on his glasses to see that they ere basically multiple blades in one. He reached into his blazer and pulled out a pair of needles, holding them in his free hand. "You idiot, really, is this seriously necessary?" House said, but even as he did, he prepared for battle.
Alaster was even less worried about such a thing. He had a few tricks up his sleeve as well. This was going to be very painful for him. Might leave him light headed for a while if he was not careful. You could see the tattoo glowing all over his body as he basically grew a sword from his arm. It was a iron-bone hybrid because Alastor was not willing to make a full iron sword and risk low stamina from a low iron count. He looked towards the old man and smiled. "He wants a fight, I recommend giving him the fight. If you don't, your the idiot." He then turned to Jerrik. "So, whos going to start this?"

[Yeah, Both, actually. xD] "Who else?!" Declares as he dashes forward, aiming for the old man first. If you're going to enter a fight and be out numbered, you may as well take out the weaker opponent first right? Raising his left arm, but keeping the Hook Sword diagonal across his body, Jerrik then connects either hooked blade, before swinging the hilt of the first around much like a whip. Slashing at double the distance of the already average length blades. These blades were crafted well enough, that they were able to cut smoothly through even some of the toughest flesh. Grinning Jerrik continues with his slash, following through in order to grab hold of the hilt of the extended hook sword with his other hand, and then repeat the attack with the opposite hand. Thus creating an intertwined and rather fast dual strike from the two connected blades, before grabbing the hilt once again. If they struck or not, it would be a spectacle to forsee, that was certain just by the looks of the weapons.

Shuku watched as Mei seemed to make double checks on her transmutation circle. It seemed the cowgirl was going to follow through with it... Yet if she dehydrated herself as the Mayonaka had the time before... Shuku wondered on the outcome of that. Unlike the cowgirl, now that she was back to normal, chances were that she was finally out of milk too. She could also drink 'from the source' as Shuku did, couldn't she? However, the older woman soon blushed, such an image coming to mind.
===
Solely because this would be the last strike, Airi would not allow Alice to have it easy. Raising it up, the maid began to twirl it, slowly at first, but steadily it began to increase in speed and momentum, but with each twirl, it was clear by the woman's expression that each revolution of the scythe pained her, however, as the blade of the scythe began to glow it heralded the fact that this would be more than a mere swing of the weapon and after several seconds it was confirmed as with a pained grunt, Airi the Servant finally swung the the weapon in Alice's direction, a whirlwind of flames erupting from it as the minified pyro tornado converged upon Alice.
From there, Airi could only watch on how the girl dealt with it as the scythe fell from her hands shortly after the attack, her hand gripping her bad arm.
===
"Am I single? Sorry but no. I'm in love with this cutie at my side!"
Menace looked around. "What cutie?" She said faintly, enough so that only the woman beside her would hear as she hoped to see another woman on Melona's side, but before she even had a chance to peek around the slimegirl she felt lips press into her own... No, it was deeper then that, their mouths soon interlocking perfectly into a proper kiss. Rather than retaliate, for a brief moment, Menace's eyes almost seemed glazed over, as if the action had hypnotized her completely for a short time as she managed to return the kiss, though her inexperience was still clear... Or at least it would be to Melona. The audience would have no idea what was going on within those joined mouths.
When Menace did return to reality however, she caught sight of several people looking away, evidently believing that their chances of scoring with either women were shot. Others, looked only to fulfill voyeuristic instincts.
===
"It's fine," The woman replied quietly, dismissing the Kaguya's seeming lack of manners. Unlike Honehime however, only the woman's head turned as she briefly examined the girl beside her before eventually allowing their eyes to meet as she realized it was her turn. "Echidna." She thought for several moments, wondering whether or not she should confirm that her name was more likely to to be based off of 'Mother of All Monsters' rather than the lowly animal... It was always better to be compared to the beautiful snake maiden rather than that... That... Porcupine Anteater... Thing.

House sighed. They always underestimated him. Still his hands remained steady, as steady as a surgeon. This was at least part of the reason why he took the Vicodin early. Switching hands, his cane in his left hand and his needles in his right hand. He quickly threw the needles at Jerrik, needles tipped with morphine. Not enough for him to overdose, or even pass out, but hopefully enough for him dull his opponents senses. He blocked his first slice with the cane but did not expect his opponent to get so close for a second strike. He quickly took out his bone saw. he was a doctor, he had plenty of blades that were made to not just go through skin but bone. He swung with it to block the second blade. Steel on steel wound be quite an interesting display.
Alastor smiled. Both of his enemies were locked in battle. The difference between him and Jerrik was that he was more interested in testing himself rather than getting rid of the weakest link. Alastor rushed towards Jerrik hoping that he would be able to recover from the stalemate faster than the gimp and attempted to stab him in the side with his bone sword.

 "Well again, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Echidna." With that, Honehime turned to focus on her walking. Only a moment later, they would finally emerge from the forest. Ahead of them loomed the Academy, and scattered at various spots at it's borders, several food carts, open air cafes, and dozens of other stores and dining establishments lurked, eager to get a little of that famed student pocket money. Honehime looked over several of the places, trying to decide if they should grab a bit to eat, or maybe focus just on getting the groceries first. She glanced back at Echidna, the unspoken question not too difficult to guess. (17826 words + 111 words = 17937 words)  Finally, the busty cow girl seemed happy with her transmutation array, and straightened up, dusting off her hands as she did so. She turned to smile at Shuku as she stepped into the circle, to show she had no hesitation about it. Then, she activated it, and a bright light flashed over her. If one looked closely enough, one could actually see the milk soaked into her clothes being steamed away. A moment later, the light faded, and Mei stepped out of the space where the array had been. She didn't appear any different from before, except her clothes were now dry and milk free. She did lick her lips a little, but she didn't appear to be too thirsty at the moment. Which was probably a good thing. Even at their somewhat depleted size, her chest was still big enough that it wasn't entirely certain that she could drink from herself. (20945 words + 155 words = 21100 words)  Melona flashed a victorious smile as Menace reciprocated the kiss, and finally broke free a moment later, her tongue leaving a second after the rest of her mouth had. She looked over the crowd that had been watching them, and saw that they had managed to trim the group down by about half. Still a bit much, but the ones still watching seemed more intent upon getting another show than anything. she felt fairly sure that if they behaved for a while, their fans would eventually get bored. So she simply moved back into her seat, and turned back to face the front of the class, like nothing out of the ordinary had happened at all. (3395 words + 116 words = 3511 words)  As Alice charged, she could see Airi spinning her scythe above her head, and wondered what she was up to. When she finally lashed out with the scythe to send a twister of fire at the younger girl, Alice was nearly stunned into inaction. At the last second, she pushed against the ground with her hands to try to turn her headlong charge into an aborted roll to the side. It really came down to the wire, but she avoided being flash fried. The sudden heat from the fire had sucked the air from her lungs, and she was pretty sure she'd notice some light burns in the morning. But she had to finish this fight! Lurching forward, she used the last of her strength to try to crash into Airi. Oh, she would basically succeed. If you considered passing out and literally collapsing against her opponent succeeding.

Jerrik wasn't a complete failure when it came to close range combat. He was quite skilled in the use of the hook swords. So much so, that he twisted it enough to block almost all of the needles thrown in his direction. Those that missed, easily numbed his body down a little, and slowed his senses a small degree. Perhaps if a few more had landed, his two opponents might have gained an upper hand. But this was not the case. removing the two hooks from each other, he used one hook sword to curve just behind the blade of the attacking bone saw, close to the hand, And then from this he yanked back, to draw both his own blade and the opponents to the side, towards the other attacking opponent that was coming in from his side. At the same time, he kicked off with his left leg, flipping to the side, and kicking upwards in the attempts to land a sudden kick into Alastor's chin as he came to attack him.

Alastor was surprised with his opponent's speed, but not disappointed. He took the kick to test his opponents strength and learned that that was a mistake. The kick to his chin nearly knocked him out and certainly forced him back a few steps. "Never do that again" he said as he brought his hand up to his jaw to shake it. A facture at the worst, that was not too bad. Still it was better the kick that knocked him away from the blades than the blades themselves. He decided to try his luck some more in the stalmated foes and pulled out three kunai blades quickly thowing them at his opponents with his free hand. He wondered how they would react to that.
House groaned as he felt the blade on his hand. Still he moved it where Jerrik wanted it to move. He was thinking about his next move when Jerrik opened up for such a move. It was a few moments but that was more than enough for him to bring up his bad leg, dulled enough by painkillers in a straight kick at Jerrik's flipping/falling body. "Flashy moves, just make sure they are smart moves," he said before feeling the pain of a kunai blade hitting him in the side. He did not look down at it, but he knew that it had hit a rib. Tiring of the back and forth, House brought his hand down under the hook before jumping back and giving himself some space between him and Jerrik

Although he would have dodged such an attack if he was on his feet. He had been in the air and had not been so lucky. Nothing too serious, but it was an injury nonetheless. Landing upon the ground on his hands and knees, Jerrik slowly began to rise to his feet again, reaching and grabbing both hook swords as he did so. This was an interesting fight, to say the least. It could pose to be more deadly if it continued on for a good while. None of them were that strong, but they were good enough in hand to hand that they could pose a threat to each others safety. As a slow chuckle began to escape his lips, he released his hook swords, letting them fall towards the ground as he reached behind his back, grabbing three shuriken in either hand from their half hidden pouch and then throwing the six shuriken half at one opponent, and the other half at the other. Once thrown, he kneels don a little, grabs his Hook Swords and than takes off towards Alastor this time.

Shuku moved her arm so that it covered her eyes as the area erupted into the bright light, though she was familiar with it, she didn't quite know how Mei could bare to stare at the light without going blind... Though if she were blind a wee bit, it would explain a lot... Still, she said nothing to voice her thoughts and instead, only smiled as she stared at the girl. Though, so far, she didn't seem as bothered as the Mayonaka was after she had been transmuted.
===
Airi watched. It was all she could do. She launched her attack and lacked the ability to defend, thus, it was her only option as she saw the young girl dive out of harm's way before she launched herself into the maid who lacked the energy to even make an attempt to guard herself from the girl as Alice flung herself into her, invoking a grunt out of the servant who was knocked flat onto her back, the air being forced out of her as the child rammed into her almost as if she had stumbled. It took her some time to realize that the girl on her wasn't moving, and at first, she panicked, thinking that the reaper had come for the girl, but when the reason was discovered to be exhaustion, the red haired girl calmed as she smiled slightly.
"You win, Alice."
===
"Am I single? Sorry but no. I'm in love with this cutie at my side!"
Menace's face remained where it was even several seconds after the kiss had ended, as if she were entranced until eventually, she blinked slightly, looking around to realize that a few stragglers of their audience was still watching. Silently, a blush crept over her face, but she said little else, instead, she faced forward silently, the staff resting in her lap as she faced forward as the teacher began, or at least, attempted to return to the lesson on hand, which coincidentally, was the Henge no Jutsu.
However, after the kiss, the Imohtep found it hard to concentrate on this as she constantly stole glances at the slime girl beside her...
===
As soon as they stepped out of the forest, Echidna very much wished to return to the wild. The city life... Held little interest for her, aside from being a place to purchase supplies, other than that, it was just a noisy, exaggerated place where the wealthy flocked and the poor groveled while anyone in between repeated their lives day after day after day. Little of urban society appealed to the woman, and that was confirmed when several onlookers peeked at her revealing attire, though she paid them no mind.
"Where do you intend to eat?" The swordswoman inquired, eager to focus on something other than the perverts gazing in her direction.

"Where? Umm, I hadn't really thought about it. Um, how about there?" Honehime raised her arm and pointed at one cafe at random. It seemed pretty ordinary, nothing special, and thankfully, it didn't seem to be very busy, either. She could tell at least a little bit that Echidna seemed uncomfortable once they entered the Academy's village. Hopefully they could quickly get something to eat and purchase some supplies, then be on their way before Echidna became too uncomfortable. She was a little bit nervous herself. Even after the last day spent with her group, she still wasn't too used to staying near people for all that long, so this was a whole new experience to her as well. (17937 words + 123 words = 18060 words) Mei licked her lips again and frowned a little, her mouth felt a little dry. Not enough to really be a problem, but frustrating all the same. She didn't even think of trying to drink from her own chest, and since Shuku had already been milked, she didn't think of trying to get more from her. Instead, she smiled as she remembered there had been a bowl of water back at camp, and turned to tell Shuku that. At the same time, she hoped to show the Mayonaka that she wasn't injured or transformed or anything, that her alchemical transmutation had went just fine. Except for getting a little bit thirsty. (21100 words + 114 words = 21214 words) Melona tried to focus on the instructor, but the class was kind of boring. Admittedly, she didn't really know anything about what the lesson entailed, but she didn't really need to, either. She already had her own custom brand of technique to disguise herself as someone else. Sighing, she glanced over at Menace, just as Menace had shot her a glance. She smiled a little, trying to imagine the sort of thoughts that might be running through her new friend, and apparent girlfriend's mind. As if to test her hypothesis, she waited for another glance from the Imhotep, and then quickly blew her a kiss. Then she winked cheekily, and waited to see what Menace would do. (3511 words + 120 words = 3631 words) Alice couldn't even find the strength to get up off of Airi, so when the scythe wielder pronounced her the winner, all she could do was let out a single brief laugh. "Ha. As if, falling on your opponent doesn't make you a winner. If anything... I'd say this fight... was a draw. Sound good?" She slowly began to struggle to get up, to at least separate from Airi so the two of them could sit up, and not be quite such a noticeable scene in the middle of the road. Luckily, no one had passed them by yet, so nobody had seen their fight, but it was only a matter of time. Finally, she almost succeeded, Alice finally managed to flop onto her back, now laying next to Airi instead of on top of her. She was breathing fairly hard, exhausted all over again from just that small of an exertion. (3822 words + 155 words = 3977 words)

Odd.
Though Mei had appeared unaffected, as, aside from the almost unnoticeable lick of her lips, she didn't seem very thirsty. Perhaps the cowgirl had perfected her alchemical skills overnight? The Mayonaka shook her head mentally. Since this was Mei, she was quite doubtful of that... But then again, not that she, from experience, knew the consequences of such, perhaps she would be able to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Besides, they were both already milked anyway, so there was little risk, right?
With that, the woman stepped into the circle.
===
"If you weren't exhausted, you could've killed me."
Then again, if she weren't wounded, she could return the favor.
She heard the sound of a weary body falling to the ground and she looked to see the little girl on her back, exhausted with her chest rising and falling in rapid intervals. "I guess at this point..." Airi plopped down for now, staring up at the sky, considering the fact that if Alice had been armed, with even a dagger, she would've probably been a large threat. "...I can't really belittle you as a warrior, can I?"
===
"Am I single? Sorry but no. I'm in love with this cutie at my side!"
A kiss was blown. A perky wink followed... As did a madly blushing Imohtep.
She'll make a fine bride, won't she?
You idiot. That Melon b***h is female. Even if she has the body to rear children, you make it sound like either has the potential to impregnate the other. She's a girl, get it? A GIRL.
You know I meant more than just that. She's beautiful, and has the strength to keep our little troublemaker in line. Certainly, a nice choice to be the bride of the girl that will succeed our lineage, wouldn't you say?
The Imohtep let out a flustered squeak as she realized that it was her ancestors conversing, and being the current holder of their spirits, Menace was conscious of their conversation as well. P- P- Please don't jump to such crazy conclusions. I'm not a les- The girl was cut off before she could even finish.
Could've fooled me, with that kiss.
Again, her nervous glance moved towards the slimegirl as she gave a rather hesitant grin.
===
The woman was about to respond when a random passerby, a male of course, let out a wolf whistle, and even when to go so far as to slap a hand onto the warrior's rear, which, while it inspired a ripple of flesh, also invoked to woman's anger. A backhand to the man's face shot out, the buckler attached to her forearm allowing her break the man's nose upon contact, blood soon spraying like a fountain. While of course, this drew attention to them, a clear murmur of 'The pig deserved it.' came from the majority of the crowd as Echidna glared down at the man, now willing to go so far as to begin stomping on his family jewels, but, she resisted.
That would probably be going overboard. Sadly.
"That cafe is fine," She said finally, resuming her conversation with Honehime casually as she turned. Regardless, she felt a little better now that she got to punch something.

Honehime had just turned back to see if Echidna liked the cafe or not, when she saw the tail end of the one sided fight between Echidna and the nameless male. She had heard the whistle, and the smack, so she could guess what had happened. She didn't really feel any pity for the lecher, though. Instead, she just avoided looking at the bloody mess that used to be his face, and nodded when Echidna said the cafe was fine with her. The two walked on toward it, Echidna's display of prowess enough to stop any further attempted molestations. Once inside the cafe, the atmosphere became calmer. It wasn't very crowded, either, there were only a few other patrons, and they all seemed similarly occupied. They shouldn't be bothered any more now. (18060 words + 136 words = 18196 words) Mei smiled warmly when she saw Shuku step into the transmutation array. So she did trust her, now that she had seen it at work? Yay! She double-checked the array once more, just to make sure neither of them had smudged out a line from stepping over it. Everything looked in order, so she turned her head back to Shuku and shot her a hopefully reassuring smile. Without another word, she activated the array once more, and Shuku would be bathed with a bright, warm light. There could be a slight tingle, but it would be pleasurable if anything, not uncomfortable at all. And sure enough, once the light would fade, Shuku's clothing would be clean and dry. There could be a very slight dryness to her mouth, but no more than she would have gained from a long night's sleep. (21214 words + 144 words = 21358 words) Melona had to stifle a chuckle when she saw Menace blush deeply at their eyes' meeting. It was so much fun to tease her! A moment later, Menace seemed to be listening to something besides the instructor, and then squeaked in shock. Melona looked at her again, wondering if something was wrong. Only to meet Menace's gaze once more, and spot that slight grin forming on her cute face. She smiled again herself, not a smirk or leer, but an actual, almost surprised, smile. She had never thought she'd make a friend so soon into her trip. Least of all a potential rival in the Queen's Blade Tournament! Sometimes the world was far smaller than anyone ever imagined. (3631 words + 121 words = 3752 words) 'If you weren't exhausted, you could have killed me.' she heard Airi say. She had to admit, that much was true. Then again, it was also true in the reverse, if Airi still had her scythe when Alice crashed into her, the young girl could have lost her head, literally. Airi then went on to say that she couldn't belittle Alice as a warrior any more. To that, Alice grinned widely and slowly raised a heavy arm, to flash a thumbs up at Airi. "And the same... to you. I had no idea... that maids were so strong." Of course Airi was no ordinary maid, they both knew that, but it didn't change the fact that it was a bit out of the ordinary. Then again, so was her own strength. (3977 words + 134 words = 4111 words)

Alastor was still nursing his jaw when the shurikens came his way He brought up his sword arm and swatted two of them away, gritting his teeth in pain when the third hits him in the stomach. He was starting to get used to battle. His tattoo started to glow once more as he brought his free hand into his jacket. By then Jerrik was already coming his way. He brought out his hand gripping the center of a windmill shuriken, his bones forming an exoskeleton around his hand. He was not planning on throwing it, no instead he was planning on using it as a second weapon. He would swing the windmill shuriken when Jerrik gets within arms length.

 Even while running, Jerrik connects the two hooks upon his swords together, before releasing one's hilt, causing it's bladed hilt to go flying towards Alastor, although it was still attached, meaning that it wouldn't actually be thrown, just swung. Grinning, Jerrik's gray eyes shifting and running over his opponent's form swiftly, just in case he needed to notice anything specific. Jerrick's gaze was special. It wasn't a power, but it was a skill that he was developing. He had an analytical gaze, as well as an analytical mind. He had the acute ability to look someone over, and notice even the most minor of changes. Of course this wasn't some huge amped up ability that gave him super mental compacity. Just a little minor skill. Right now it allowed him to notice the odd glow that Alastor was giving off. Grinning slightly, he made sure to aim the swing of his connected blades, for the most noticeable part of the tattoo on his opponent's body. At the last second, he draws his attack back, kicking off and flipping forward to roll past his opponent then stand upon his feet. "Well. I've had fun. But now I must be going. Enjoy your lives." He says, with a grin upon his face, before dashing off and away from them both.

As the transmutation took place, Shuku took note of the familiar feeling as warmth washed over her, as if she had been suddenly bathed in a patch of sunlight. And so, the light soon faded and the woman's clothes were soft and crisp, as if she had put them on once they came out of the dryer... And aside from the dryness in her mouth, she felt quite well. She resisted however, asking Mei if she had something to drink as she was quite certain that the cowgirl would offer herself off as a beverage dispenser once more. Thus, she gathered what little saliva was still in her mouth, allowing it to suffice until they returned to camp.
"Thank you, Mei."
With that, she got to dispelling the technique.
===
"Never underestimate a maid... You think we can do house chores day in and day out and not gain a bit of muscle?"
A smirk spread across Airi's face as she said this, as for a brief moment, the thought of this young girl in such a uniform came to mind... And what an amusing thought it was. She lay there for a moment, exhaustion preventing her from moving any further as she looked over towards the girl. Soon however, a more serious thought came to mind, the fact that they would both be competing in this tournament and would most like face one another again... As well as many other female warriors... Definitely some that were stronger than them both.
===
Menace blinked slightly as Melona returned the smile with an actual... Smile, one that, for once, did not force the Imohtep to think on a possible evil plot that was stirring within the mind of the slime girl. Eventually, she broke the gaze, looking towards the instructor for several moments, however, the man didn't keep her attention for long. At least when she was doing her pseudo training with Melona, the instructions were hands on, so even though it was all fake and Melona had no idea what the hell she was doing, it was still much more entertaining.
The thoughts of her ancestors, who had no begun to argue within her mind, did little else to make her situation any more exciting.
"This man is boring, Melona."
===
"b*****d... Wetting my shield with his filth," Echidna muttered once she they had arrived at the cafe, then seating herself at the nearest table, snatching the fancily folded cloth napkin that was placed next to shining silver utensils, using it then to wipe her buckler clean as if were a useless rag. She set it down before she looked around, finally paying attention to the place that she had unknowingly chosen. Truth be told, she hadn't exactly appraised the place that she had subconsciously chosen when Honehime had asked. While it was quite gilded for her tastes, it was silent and everyone seemed rather well mannered... That alone gained a plus from the woman.
