Cecil watched as the sand came up as he backed away, it gave her a small dust cloud to cover her, but the stomping of her slowly running was very obvious that she was coming at him. He watched her form leave the dust as she had a punch ready for him. He couldn't rely solely on dodging so instead, he stepped on the ground and jabbed the spear in his right hand into the ground, aiming the head at her as he held up the sword to block her incoming punch. If she continued, the spear would hit her but her punch would connect with his sword. His sword wouldn't break immediately as he was channeling his Aura through it to keep it firm, but it would still land a hit to throw him back.

More surprise spears. Tessa might say something about him being a one trick pony but that would be just a touch ironic. A quick swat with a hand batted the spear from her vitals and now, well within arm's reach, she made a grab for the boy's forearm, slithering her striking hand down to grip the hand holding the hilt of his sword and pressing down on his digits.
The moment she knocked away his spear, he had to adjust, especially as he watched one of her arms come out to try and grab his forearm. He focused on avoiding her forearm grab and pulled his right hand away from her grasping hand. He soon felt her next hand grabbing his hand and pressing down on his digits. Sure, he felt pain, more pain than he thought as his aura was barely holding them back, but he had her where he needed her. His eyes glared into hers, as he couldn't let go of his own sword at this point with her other hand on it. He brought his arm up and let his spear shatter as a new sword appeared in his grasp. His aura changed from it's dark blue hue to a light blue as he shouted. "I cannot lose, not while I have the Roydon name!" His anger was revealed as his aura let loose some dark energy as he brought the new blade down. It was aimed for her right arm's shoulder, all the while she only had one hand free. If she didn't let go, she would be dangerously hurt as the marks on his neck had started to move.

Another flash as Tessa focused her aura on her shoulder, halting his weapon and preventing any damage to her person. Locking eyes with her opponent Tessa removed the hand holding Cecil's forearm, keeping the other locked down before suddenly gripping the boy by the throat and firmly pressing down on his windpipe from the front and sides, giving it the same effect as what was referred to as a "Blood Choke". "5...4...3.." she suddenly stopped upon reflecting on what cecil said and released the boy before stepping back "...This...isn't fun..you're boring me"

"I'll show you what a real Faunus can do..."...
This is clearly another auto-hit. You can have Tessa attempt to grab Cecil's throat, but you cannot simply declare she has successfully done so without asking the other RPer. KnightsRoyal has kindly agreed to let you keep this post as it, however, this is an official warning. If you auto-hit again, I will be forced to give you a third and final strike.
Tessa cocked her head as she raised an arm, catching Cecil's would be striking hand while increasing the pressure on the digits of his others. She locked eyes with the blue haired boy for a moment before sighing and giving him a shove back, out of swinging range and dusted off the hem of her sweater dress. "...This...isn't fun..you're boring me" the rhino faunus rubbed the back of her neck as she turned and stepped back into her biome, stopping with the toes of her boots just at the edge of the water. "This ain't a real sparring match when you're screamin' about family honor. Its supposed to be a good old fashioned punch up with wits and strength. This here's just...fancy ice sculptin' and a light show." The rhino turned to face Cecil again, apparently not bothered by what was going with his neck or simply not showing it
'BoringBoringBoringBoringBoringBoring' The word just boiled in his mind as she stopped his attack, soon releasing his hand as she backed away. Her words were just annoying little ice picks to the sides of a great glacier behind her as she began to walk away. "Family honor.... that is the important reason to fight. Not for fun, not for kicks..... if you lack true honor, even for your family name then your mother may as well kick the GOD DAMN BUCKET AND DIE!" He shouted as he threw the sword from his left hand at her, it was flying straight, and much more powerful. "Fancy Ice sculptin' is something someone everyone hates would say.... why would anyone like or even love a fat cow such as yourself?!" He asked her as he began to run towards her, his aura drowning out any amount of heat that the areas could give. With his sword remaining in his right hand, he brought it back and slashed at back if she moved or not moved after the sword throw. He was watching for her movements, but if she rolled forward she could manage to avoid both attacks.

Now he was the angry one throwing a tantrum for some words he didnt like getting thrown around. The irony of this was delicious and almost brought a smile to Tessa's face, though she kept it even with a slight air of concern. She performed her move from earlier, the cross step, though this time did not add a pirouette to it, but rather simply stepped out of the trajectory of the attack, turning slightly to make extra sure her chest didnt wind up getting cut, but returned to her original stance, albiet with one foot slightly forward and the other raised up onto the ball. "No, my family is just strong enough that it doesn't need me to protect its honor. We fight for fun and necessity, we fight enemies that would take our land and cattle, and we fight the grimm. The Ailbhe clan doesnt need any one person to fight for its honor or name, but you fight for the family when they need you. If you put so much importance and your self worth on your family honor...then what are you without it...boy?"
XXXOh man! This last biome change really kicked things up a notch. Where before it was just a series of insults being slung back and forth, the two seemed to grow ever more aggressive as the biomes continued to change. Cyan hues watched the two of them come together in a clash once more as Tessa used her strength to unleash a wave of sand. '... OOOOH. I know who she is now! That's the big a** rhino that didn't let me eat at the beach! ... Now I'm hungry.." It had been eating away at the woman for a solid minute why the rhino woman seemed so familiar. After all, it wasn't common that she actually met someone that was taller than her. She had the title as a goliath woman for a reason, and now this rando student was coming out of nowhere and snatching that away from her. More important matters though, she was hungry. 'Wonder if this thing lets me order food...' With a series of taps against the remote, various hologram displays would appear around the arena. Flickering on and off, showing different views of the combatants, even the students. With the last button though, it brought up a scoreboard that had the aura of the students displayed like a health bar. Eyes of a crystalline blue would light up at the sight, utterly fascinated by the technology. "Wh~ao~! We have health bars?! Why can't this be a thing everywhere?!" Her excited tone would resonate in the mass of the arena before her attention focused on an important matter brewing. How low their aura was. s**t, she should've been paying more attention. Tessa's aura had ticked just below the knockout line, only for Cecil's to follow a moment after with excessive use of his semblance.
With a series of swings, the woman would use her mass and momentum to swing herself over the railing once more. Less than careful fingers would wiggle the serrated chain free before letting her anchor transform back to its compact form. With the compressed rifle mounted on her back, she'd begin to scale down the rows of seats with haste. It was all just in time to hear the boy spouting about his honor as if it was some prize to protect, something Rachel couldn't comprehend herself. "I think without it he might just be whippin' his d**k around, BUT! That's enough, aight aight? Look up you two." The woman announced as she traversed through the arena, approaching the center as Cecil continued whatever antics he was up to... Though if he forced her hand, she was ready to start manhandling the kid. "You two gon dried up all your aura. Lettin' you two continue may very well get me fired, so calm your hormones and save the insults for later!" Above the two was a hologram board that displayed their aura use as a health bar, just like those fighting games! Neither of them hit zero, per se, as they were still conscious, but they both well hit the mark that they shouldn't have anything left to give. Tapping a button on the remote, the health bars would repeat the entire battle. Of course, they were already on the lower end after just battling grimm. With each use of aura or a flex of their semblance, it would tick down bit by bit. However, it was Tessa's that hit just below the line only to be followed by Cecil's. "Honor and insults aside, Tessa's aura kicked the bucket first ... Even if by just a lick. I reckon if you two try anythin' else, you're gonna KO yourselves. I'm all down for kiddos beatin' themselves to the brink of death, but the bird in charge is gonna penalize me if I let'cha do that. Sooo... ITS TIME. TO STOP." Right, simple enough. Right? Now let the two happy combatants kiss and makeup, just to be on their way? Then again, Rachel knew just what it was like to be caught up too deeply in a fight. Cyan hues would dart towards Cecil in that regard. He was clearly the one that was distraught and consumed by the desire for combat, something they all needed to be careful of.
[[Mod Ruling :: The member vote ended up being a tie by the end of the voting period between Tessa's aura failing or both their aura failing. As a result, while both of their aura has now been expended it was Tessa's who ran out just before. As a result, the victory goes to Cecil.]]

Cecil glared at the woman as she made her next extravagant entrance, all the while yelling as she soon moved to stand between Cecil and Tessa. His left eye was slowly beginning to hurt him but he shook off the pain as she spoke.l and told them to look up. He stared up first, seeing the result and was feeling rather bittersweet about the fact he had won. His sword in the right hand was glowing with his corrupted Aura before he soon said. "Damn teacher, why not let me finish her off? She's done nothing helpful as of late and has been nothing but a waste of flesh..." Of course, he didn't actually feel this way, but his black ice had distorted his perception of thought. He was more violent, more willing to harm someone who annoyed him like a knat. When in reality he was well reserved and preferred the company of Azura.

Azura sat in the bleachers, those that remained anyway, safe from the pending battle by the force fields which had been reactivated now that Survival class was over. Professor Anderson had decided to take up her position hanging from the rafters. She was nervous. Cecil was starting out with his aura partly drained from class and in the chaos, Azura didn't really have a good idea of how Tessa faired. There were a lot of mixed feelings about the fight. On top of not liking the idea of this fight on principle, Azura couldn't decide if she wanted Cecil to win or lose. Of course, she wanted her boyfriend to best Tessa, but if he did Tessa would attempt to force him into marriage and carry him off to her village. Something Azura found rather childish, but something she simply didn't want to deal with, even if she was confident Cecil would reject Tessa's advances.
Tessa joined them shortly after and provided some insight into her motivation of joining Beacon. Not to become a huntress, but learn to become a leader. She wasn't really sure what to do with that information, but she supposed it provided a reason as to why Tessa was constantly bullying everyone. Hopefully, Beacon could teach her the difference between making people want to follow you, and attempting to force them to do so. Though when Cecil commented on it, she quickly claimed she was already a leader and just needed to be stronger. Azura found that questionable. For all her musings, it was clear Cecil had a different reason for the question. Not to understand Tessa, but to stall for time until he could activate his semblance, and perhaps antagonize her into fighting in a rage.
Making her angry didn't seem effective, but stalling for a time certainly had as Cecil summoned a bow of ice and started taking shots at Tessa from center stage. It made sense. Tessa would either need to come to the interior where she couldn't use her semblance or dodge arrows until her aura ran out. Even if Tessa was going to claim she was bored, it was clear who had the advantage. That all changed when the biomes rose. Tessa's demeanour changed almost instantly, clearly thinking she had the upper hand, and Azura wasn't sure she could argue any different. Much like a rhino, she charged forward. If it was Azura she would have dodged out of the way, but Cecil stood his ground, suddenly summoning a spear at the last instant. Score one for Cecil! Things became much faster paced after that. She couldn't see what exactly had happened from her vantage point, only that Tessa had lifted Cecil into the air only to be left hold his scarf a moment later, followed by him kicking Tessa in the 'bubbies' as a certain butterfly would call them. She honestly kind of wanted to be offended on Tessa's behalf, though she supposed the Grimm out there wouldn't care. There were no rules and you had to do what it took to survive. The biomes changed again, and this time Tessa formed a sandstorm, causing Azura to lose all track of what was happening for a few seconds. Cecil clearly expected her to charge at him again, leveraging the spear in the sand while holding up his sword. It turned out he was correct, but his plan was less than effective, as Tessa swatted the spear out of the way fairly easily and grabbed for Cecil sword arm once more. Then Azura saw something she had only seen one other time. The dark aura. She wanted to shout at Cecil that beating Tessa wasn't worth it, but then she was one of a select few people who knew what the dark aura meant. Azura rose and opened her mouth to shout as much when all of the sudden....Tessa forfeited the match.
It wasn't good enough for Cecil though. Who started rambling and then shouting. She didn't hesitate to act. In a split second decision, Azura hopped over the low wall separating the seats from the field. Luckily it seemed the force field was one way, or perhaps Professor Anderson had deactivated it. She landed lightly on the ground and starting running towards the center of the arena, only to arrive shortly after the Professor. It wasn't until she was inside the battle area that the cold hit her. Even colder than the classroom in semblance class. "Cecil." Came Azura's voice, soft yet firm. "Cecil, she's not worth it." Her blue eyes didn't waver from his face as she took the last couple of steps towards him and placed her hand on his upper arm, hoping to snap him out of the dark ice .
"Well unless the kid's going to do something other than yell and shoot darts at me I kinda want to leave." Tessa sighed as she scratched the base of her horn "A fight where you just rely on keeping your enemy away from you because you're scared of throwing a punch ain't a fight it's just....disappointing. If it were a grimm I'd get it, they don't hesitate t'kill you but this was supposed to be something respectable...now it just feels cheap."
The faunus sighed again and turned to leave "Just a waste of my time is all this was..."
Cecil watched as Azura soon moved to get in his way, blocking his path to Tessa who decided to walk away, talking about it being a waste of time. He growled and was about to shout something before Azura told him that she wasn't worth it. He glared to Azura, staring into her eyes as she began to walk towards him. It was a bold move as his cold was drowning out the entire arena before she placed her hand upon his upper arm. Her words echoed in his mind as his aura began to calm down, his hair lowering before the black marks around his neck seemed to calm and vanish. He exhaled a small sigh as he looked to Tessa as she walked away. He soon opened his mouth to speak, and it was just oozing of aggression despite it's monotonous and chilling tone. "I do believe with this I now have a reserved right to keep calling you what I called you the first time: An Albino Milk Tank." He started before he continued with a warning as he held Azura's hand. "The next time we fight... that's when I'll take you seriously at the start, and this will be the last time I hold back against someone with a weak semblance." He told her as he closed his eyes and looked to Azura. "Let's go.... the longer I'm here, the sooner I'll freeze." He told her as a small joke to calm his own nerves rather than hers.

Tessa, who'd made herself busy fastening her belts and weapons back into place, rolled her eyes as she activated a single gauntlet, flexed the joints in the fingers to make sure they didn't stick, then casually turned and fired a shell. The round was not at all intended to hit anyone, but instead fly dangerously close and explode against the wall behind Cecil. "Not what the fight was about but if you're going to be that petty, I'll do the same. Frankly if I was your family I'd be damn disappointed in the sorry excuse of a facade you're putting on, let alone that weak fight." she said with a dismissive wave as she backed toward the exit "Buuuut don't mistake what happened here for an actual reflection of your ability versus mine. In a real fight, on even ground and fully armed with no restriction, , I'd break your fancy little sculptures and tear your head off and send it home to your family, show them just how miserable a failure you are." The giant faunus smirked, turned on her heel, and exited the arena with her hands on her hips. -EXIT-
XXXOh man, what was with these kids and their hormones? Waste of flesh? Absolutely, everyone was! The rhino chick not being worth it. Eh, maybe? When was anyone worth it anymore, anyway? Killing someone only got you in trouble nowadays, and that itself seemed to be too much hassle to work with. "Cause, Mr. Freeze! If ya'll go killin' each other, I'm gonna get the book thrown at me! It's one thing if a grimm kills ya under my watch, it's another if I let the students do the handy work." To be frank, that was the truth in Rachel's heart. At least, mostly. The girl was starting to get a feel for her students, feel a small bond in watching them in the fact that she felt the need to intrude at the very least. But in all honesty, the only reason she'd even interrupt a fight that'd clearly be the death of them is simply that she knew she'd get in trouble for letting such a thing happen. Two students died in her last course, letting another die just didn't seem like a good idea. "Long-range kinda blows, ya got me there rhino-gal. Hate'm, but, cheap tactics is still cheap tactics. Just do what I do and bite bullet, literally. They won't expect it!" Friendly neighborhood advice from the professor? No, not at all. In fact, it was her babbling over nonsense because it just occurred to her how ABSOLUTELY freezing it was. Sharpened teeth would begin to clatter as she wrapped her loose hanging sleeves around her body. "So we're done here? Thank f**k. Mr. Freeze, turn off the AC before I throw you in a furnace." So. That was it, right? Some stupid fight that made no progress in whatever matter they were doing and just turned everyone salty. Good fun, time to go!
At least, that's what Rachel wanted. Fingers curled into her arms as she tried to fight herself against the cold, as she was NEVER dressed for such weather. In the midst of talking, she heard something. A click? Something moving through the air? What was--- "HOLY SWEET MOTHER TERESA ON THE HOOD OF A MERCEDES BENZ. YOU F**KING ASSHAT." Those were the immediate stream of words from Rachel's mouth as an explosion sounded off in the distance, as the walls were far from the center of the arena. Still, the woman was jumpy and did NOT take kindly to any startling. After all, that's practically why her and Tsuki weren't on talking terms. Right. That's what happened, right? Cyan hues would instantly focus on the rhino as she started walking away, talking something about smashing ice sculptures and ripping off heads. What the hell was that for, Rhino-dino?! Fights over, big whoop. Petty is petty, but petty doesn't mean freakin' explosions! Ugh... Wait, come back! I I think I gotta give you detention or something for that!" The girl had already started walking off towards the exit of the arena. With a long and heavy sigh, the goliath of a woman would slap her face to regain her composure. ... Who are we kidding? Rachel doesn't have composure. "Christ... Sassy rhino and an icey edgelord.. Why'd I agree to this thing? You two are fine, right? Auras down, but the boom didn't blow anything off. Right?"
