The crowd was hushed as they saw the grimm released and headed towards the students. Wondering how they would deal with the three beowolves on the hunt. It was a delicate balance. One of them had wings, and could fly out of harms way. The other however would be left to fight alone though if the moth did that. As the Grimm neared their targets, the moth would begin to fire what seemed like beams of light. Two shots, and two hits. "And we are off to an explosive start! This student knows how to hit her mark! But will it be enough?" Some of the crowd cheered from the display, but others remain hushed as the grimm seemed undeterred from the hit and continued its charge. The crowd would find their attention split in two, as the immortal began to make his own actions once the moth took flight. He would barely make a dodge, whether for show or genuine, and the crowd would cheer that one attack had failed. They would see him launched something ahead of him, and almost slingshot himself forward into the grimm that had been too slow to catch the moth. As his legs impacted and knocked it away, there was a loud cheer as it seemed to hit the tree hard...and then a gasp of horror as the grimm he had dodged earlier came crashing into his back. Some of the crowd had been yelling for him, to warn him, but those voices had been drowned out by the rest in their cheers. As the Grimm had him pinned, some would cry out for the announcer to intervene. Some others would also see the danger headed to the moth and tried in vain to warn her as well. "Its not looking good for the Immortal Svafnir! His bold title may be put to the test folks." The announcer would say, building up the tension for now. The kids still had aura, so he knew he could afford to wait to send in help for now.
It seems the moth was tunnel visioned on saving her ally. She fired a shot towards the one that had gone for him before it knocked him over, but the wolf had just taken it to its bony armor as it moved to protect the more vital areas. It seemed that wolf was a bit smarter than the rest, at least in terms of trying to keep both targets in mind. However, it did not expect her next shot to be dust augmented. Thinking it a mere light bullet like earlier, it was going to let it hit his more armored side and go in to try and finish off the prey on the ground. As such, it did not notice it become a rock. "It seems Lucifer never misses her target!" The announcer would say as the rock impacted the grimm, with numerous cheers from the audience. The force of it knocked it clean off Svafnir, leaving him free. And he did not waste any time. As he recovered and got the chain around the grimms neck and went for the finishing blow, some cheers were heard in the crowd for the Immortal Svafnir.
However, despite the crowd, the warrior stayed focused on the fight. Lucifer Lux would hear his warning of a grimm coming for her, and would turn to look just as she would feel its teeth on her leg. Whether her aura was protecting her or not, the grimm had a good hold. And it was intent to bring them both down to the ground as it tried to launch both of them off the tree. What would Lux do? At the same time, Svafnir would find the grimm ensnared would crumble to dust as the blades dug deep into its neck. It was finished. However, during this time the dazed beowolf had recovered. It was staring right at Svafnir, acting as a barrier between him and his team mate. It was angry. It could feel the hate radiating off the bug above, fed on it. It wanted revenge on both of them for hurting it. But it was wary now after the hits it received. Rather than charge to Svafnir, it would slowly advance. So it could react to whatever he did and either force him away or close the gap between them.
Periwinkle would look down. There was a Grimm climbing up the tree, her first thought was to just fly away, then she noticed that Sva was squaring up to fight with the other Grimm. She noticed the top of the tree was only about 15 feet. She had to do it. Her green wings would start to collect light. Her sight would change from full color to shades of purple and pink. The light was just beaming into her wings. Parts of the world were also black. She enjoyed this beauty that most people could not see. Her wings also had colors that could only be seen in this light.
She would then dangle her leg to line up with the other grimm, however, she would shout. "Watch out! I'm gona use my semblance!" Then it happened. The Bewowolf would latch onto her leg. She screamed out in pain, tears going down her face. With a quick flick of her finger, her tiny blade would come out. She needed her entire brain for what she was about to do. She would then make a slash on her right upper arm. Crimson blood would drip onto her cat suit. However, her mind cleared. She took a deep breath. The air around them seemed to have Moth dust in the air, the air around her would start to heat up more than it already was.
Then, the beam would cut through the air. In Peri's vision, it was a solid, bright beam showing exactly where it was going. However, the audience saw something completely different. The air sizzled as if it was coming off of the tarmac. The Dust in the air seemed to float in the 30ft foot line, that was 1ft wide. However, part of it stopped on the Grimm on her leg. Her own leg though, That was in deep trouble. She hadn't coated it in aura. She wanted it to be appetizing for it. She would cut herself again, trying to concentrate through the pain of her burring her own leg.
Then the unthinkable happened, it was able to pull her from the tree. She would start to plummet. At that point, she couldn't flap her wings to get her up. She was falling. However, she kept her blast on the one in front of her. She saw that she got part of the other once, but she didn't know if it was enough. She felt like a moth drawn to the flames. She had to do this. This was to protect Svaf.
As soon as the grimm hit the ground, it turned into dust. s**t, instead of landing on it, she would be landing herself. She landed, poorly. She felt a popping in her bitten leg. She almost passed out from pain. She was barely holding herself up. She saw the tell tale signs of her semblance on his body. Had he taken part of it? Damn it...With shakey hands, she would aim her gun at the last grimm. Her fingers were fumbling on the trigger.

Sváfnir grinned triumphantly as he saw the Grimm fade to dust after his chains cut deep into its neck, Quick was the Warrior rolling to his feet and turning to help Lulu with the Grimm that was after her, Sváfnir haulted as he turned to see the original Grimm he attacked recovered from its daze and was now acting as a barrier preventing him to getting to Lulu. The sudden scream from Lulu caused Sváfnir to tense and growl at the Beowolf in front of him despising it for blocking his path at such a time. The Warrior would ready himself for an attack as the beast edged closer but was haulted by the warning that came from Lulu. "Watch out! I'm gona use my semblance!" Sváfnir upon hearing the words of his comrade instinctively looked to her, Sváfnir to notice of her posture and eyes the way the dust began to move and her angle before getting a crazy idea pops into his head.Give it everything you got Lulu!The Warrior yelled out as he dropped down to all fours and began running at the Beowolf raising to stand in his original bipedal stance when he was close enough to engage the Beowolf. The warrior was poised for a tackle that seemed to keep him completely exposed and full of openings but in actuality Sváfnir made sure to move his head and shoulders in a manner that would be easier to keep his head and neck safe if and when the Beowolf attacked. Upon reaching the ideal range Sváfnir would twist and flick his arms all while simultaneously firing both anchors from his gauntlets in a way that angled them ever slightly so that when he collided with and gripped the Beowolf the bladed chains would begin to wrap both himself and the Grimm from his shoulders down with attempt to catch ground with the pointed end.You are no wolf little Beo and here I will prove it. With all we have, We shall defeat all you are.Sváfnir taunted as she chuckled Grimmly trying his best to hold on as the heat began to burn his caramel colored flesh, The pain incredible but Sváfnir would not dare let his smile drop in front of Lulu and the crowd for her sake he not only kept his smile but as he gave his all holding fast he began to laugh in a manner that seemed a cross between maniacal and triumph. Skin blistered and cooked as 2nd degree burns set in and Sváfnir felt the build in side him reach its peak giving Sváfnir an overwhelming sense of confidence in himself and faith in Lulu's ability.Reiði Dreki!!The warrior roared as a brilliant golden cloak of aura engulfed him in divine radiance giving him more drive and edge to combat the driving strength of the Grimm before, The more he pushed the more the chains would try to tighten on the two in their thorned grasp.

The crowd was still cheering for Svafnir as he killed the first grimm of the match, at least some of them. As the beowolf that had been scaling the tree reached lucifer, the cheers faded and tense silence took over. The camera had caught her baiting the grimm for her leg, so even as it bit there was a mix of worry and others wondering what the students plan was. She could fly, so if she stayed there must have been a reason was the prevailing thought of many of the audience. Seeing the beowolf bite down though...even those who thought she had a plan were having doubts on why she didn't use her aura at the least. She was the second student in two matches to not use their aura to protect themselves, the first being Rey when he crashed into the drill, and the audience was unsure but eager to find out. They would also notice, around the same time, The Immortal Svafnir had the remaining grimm on the ground. Preventing him from reaching his ally. While team work had done a lot for them, it seemed to the audience the grimm had caught on and was trying to keep them divided. After his prior display many were hoping he could pull something off just as crazy, but it seemed Lucifer had a plan after all. "It seems Lucifer Lux has some tricks up her sleeves!" The announcer would say as some cameras would focus on what almost seemed to be a ray of dust appearing, though also catching site of her cutting herself a bit. The audience, not knowing her powers, were led on by the announcer to believe that was a part of her plan. As the the view focused on the ray, and grimm by her, they would see it start to burn. They'd see part of her leg being effected as well, but it was the girmm primarily having a hole burned through it. It growled in pain but did not relent, slowly trying to pull her off the tree along with itself.
Meanwhile, the audience would also see how the beam of light didn't end at just the one on her leg...No, it traveled down to the ground to...The immortal! While some had been engrossed by Lucifer, others had kept eyes on the warrior and saw his almost beastly charge to the beowolf before tackling it. Again, he would fire something...but this time ensnare both himself and the grimm. It seemed the two were locked in a deadly wrestling match, with the grimm managing to claw into his a bite with its bites just barely missing the mark. But...At the same time they would see a bit of the dust that had been burning the Grimm above...on the immortal Svafnir! Had it not been for his call out to give it all she got, the audience may have thought this was a mere accident! As the crowd could see his back to burn, they would notice something else. He was laughing! "Even in the face of our greatest enemy, the Immortal is confident he cannot be defeated!" The announcer would say to bring up the spirits of the people as a cheer for both Lucifer Lux and the Immortal Svafnir rose. Though he was the third student to not use aura defensively as far as they had seen. All of a sudden, both fights would command attention. Lucifer would fall from the tree with the grimm, and the dust would leave from Svafnir's back just as a golden aura appeared around him. As Lucifer hit the ground, her own grimm being slain on impact with the ground, Svafnir would begin to win the struggle with the grimm. Where once it may have seemed like he was trapped with it, it was now the reverse. The Grimm howled in pain as the bladed chains would dig into both of them, struggling against the bonds, but unable to escape...until with a final effort of pulling it tighter the grimm crumbled to dust. Leaving only Svafnir standing. As Lucifer had her gun ready, she found she would not need to fire. They were victorious. Fireworks would go off above as some medics came out onto the field to help the wounded. "You saw it here folks! No matter the odds, the students at beacon will do whatever it takes to win. Even if it means hurting themselves a bit to pull it off! Lets have a cheer for the future protectors of Vale!" The announcer would say, keeping the crowds energy in a positive direction by showing this as the sacrifices they will make to protect everyone and so they are assured the future will be in capable hands. The crowd would give a roar of cheers and claps for the duo as they would be tended to and taken off the field to be treated for their wounds.
┏━━━━━━━━┓ Aurelia Hayes ┗━━━━━━━━┛ ✬Deputy Head Mistress of Beacon Academy✬ Shadow Education Minister✬
She finished entering her notes just as the next show was about to begin. Two more students from Beacon, this time-fighting Grimm. A rare half-smile appeared briefly on her lips at the line 'the next generation stands ready'. She had a feeling Aurtrox was involved with that somehow.
The fight started well enough for the pair, Periwinkle's first shots striking the Beowolf, before using her wings to reach a snipers perch. Svafnir dodged the closest Grimm with grace before cleverly using his weapon to kick the second. The Beowolves were so easily defeated though, and Aurelia watched intently as one began climbing the palm tree after Periwinkle while Svanir was attacked from behind. A Huntsman needed to able to adapt quickly to changing situations. How well would these two fair? Initially, she thought they had adapted well. Peri helped her partner with a well-aimed rock-dust bullet. Even it meant temporarily ignoring the Grimm coming after her, Aurelia approved of the move. Svafnir was obviously in a much worse position, and if they had been up against a most powerful Grimm, the move could be one that would save his life. In this case, it allowed Svafnir to finish off the Beowolf, turning to battle into a much more manageable 2v2. However, things quickly turned south.
Though she still had time to get away, Peri did not. Instead, she offered her leg to the Grimm. Even more concerning she took out a blade and cut her arm with it. Lips pressed into a hard thin line of displeasure. The announcer claimed this was part of her semblance, but Aurelia knew that was not the case. What was this child doing? Even as she used her ultraviolet light to burn the creatures of darkness, she cut herself yet again. And when the Beowolf pulled her from the tree she did nothing to save herself, falling to the ground. It was only then that Aurelia looked for Svafnir, having been so engrossed in the strange actions by Periwinkle. The other Grimm was dead, yet he was covered in burns. While the medics saw to Periwinkle and Svafnir, Aurelia tapped on the tablet to replay the last few minutes of the fight, this time watching Svafnir. Another failure to use defensive aura. She tsked in annoyance. She would need to write up a directive that the professors were to focus on defensive aura use in the coming months.
While in her noted their excellent teamwork, Periwinkle's unfailing aim and Svafnir's fighting prowess with the Grimm on the ground, the issues of defensive aura were placed on both student profiles. Additionally, she used the time to compose a scroll message to Ezekiel Novak, the school counselor, about Periwinkle and her self harm during the match, as well as a clip from the match.

The interlude after the grimm fight was a bit longer than the former, but that was because the arena was being changed. Below, as people did what they needed to between the match, they could see a new biome being set up. Well, some of it at least. A dense and heavy mist seemed to lay over the arena, except in certain parts. Where once there was an island, there was only water now. As if it had been swallowed up by the sea itself. At either end of the arena lay two steel platforms, only slightly raised above the water level. And between it...was the main event. To all the onlookers, it appeared as if the mist was moving a bit. They would see, towards the left end, a few rocks of varying sizes being hit by the waves being revealed. Only just able to see that it was rough waters again. Those with a better eyesight could just barely see some strange structure in the mists, but could not really make it out in any detail. Just knowing that it existed. After people had enough time to use the facilities, grab some food, and get re-seated, they would hear the speakers turn on again. "Welcome back ladies and gentleman! I hope you took care of all that you need to cause the show is just about to begin! You've had a gladiatorial match between students, a match of the savagery of grimm versus students...and now you will have a new kind of match. Joining us today are the Free Runner Rabbits! Twins from beacon academy, Ren and Rena are eager to show off who is the better half. Today, they will be competing in an obstacle course specially themed for our water festival. As you may have noticed, a thick mist covers most of the course. Worry not, it shall be revealed with time. But to keep our competitors on their toes, each section will only be revealed once they get to it. In fact, lets reveal our first segment!" The announcer would say, gusto in his voice, as first a pair of rabbits would be revealed to the crowd on the left most platform. Arising from the darkness beneath where they were helped outfitted and prepared, being outfitted with no weapons but being allowed one small dust each, they would hear the excited voices of the people above and see the arena they were in. Well, what wasn't covered by mist at least. But as the announcer spoke, they would see two separate lines of slippery rocks stretch far our into the water before stopping before the smallest outlines of a platform. The line of rocks themselves had varying distances between, some looking like they may need pretty good hops to cross and others easy street for a pair of rabbit faunus. Assuming they kept their footing.
"The contestants will have to cross the waters using those rocks; if they slip or fall in they have to climb back up the last rock they stood on before continuing. Whoever successfully makes it to the other side first will win this round. It may seem simple, but this section is just the warm up. For now the only thing that will be hindering them is the water and their own ability; but as they progress some other things may come up as well. On your marks, get set, go!" The announcer would explain the rules before starting the countdown. At go, rather than fireworks, a loud buzzer would go off to signal the match.
{Roll a d100; anything 51 and up and you don't fall in. Anything lower and you fall into the water before getting back up. The person who gets to the other side first will be the one who fell the least times. Only post once (you will end about halfway across) as I will do a mod post in between.}
Ren covered his eyes as they were being risen out of the platform below into the bright sun, the rays of light reflecting off of the waters as he looked ready to run. His eyes adjusted easily though as he brought his hand down and remembered what happened prior. The sign ups for the exhibition matches and Ren had to choose the one that was a new match. He had barely any moment to learn what it was and dressed light for the occasion, not allowed to wear his weaponized boots but he's fine. He could heae the announcer talk about the show just before and now he stood beside his sister. "Didn't expect to face you off but I guess since you're my twin I should've expected something." He told Rena to where she could hear as they were without weapons, and only outfitted with a single small dust. He chose his as ice and held it in his hand as he couldn't trust pockets, not while free-running. He looked and gazed upon the field before them and saw the jutting rocks as the announcer explained the rules of the first obstacle. Ren bounced up a bit, getting the blood through his body and to his legs as he backed up to behind the starting line, he needed a good running start to get a rhythm going. The countdown started, his eyes closed, his ears folded back.... the number was followed by slight horns to give them the feeling of each second. 'This is your time to shine Ren.... can't let myself down any further than I already have...'
3....2....1.... a loud BUZZ rang out and Ren and Rena were off, with Ren quickly taking the lead as he jumped from the platform and was aiming to use each rock more like a stepping stones and kicking off of them each time! As he ran across each rock and jumped off of it, he felt like he was getting the hang of it and as he got to a few rocks, he performed one of his free-running tactics and kicked off one rock, lowering his torso as he performed a small flip and landed, kicking off of that one too as he performed a backflip. However he misjudged the strength of his kick and flew over the rock, causing him to correct himself, his aura activating by accident as he flew into the rock pillar just ahead of it and slid down slowly.
[INSTANT REPLAY CLIP]
After Ren gets his senses together, he shook his head and moved to climb back up the rock he was last on, getting back to the top before he had to rely on some hard kicking off to get back into a rhythm as he strides to the halfway point.

╔════════════RENA KIYOKO════════════╗ Rena really had very little memory of signing up, she was probably high off her a** when she did so, but, she was not paired off against her brother in a free running event. She knew she shouldn't try to outrun him. He'd always been the faster runner, but, she got a lot more distance with her jumps, evening things out a bit. She could hear the announcer up top beginning their intro as Ren spoke to her."You make it sound like I planned it this way. You know damn well I was probably too baked to plan a trip to the corner store let alone something like this. But, I doubt many signed up for this sorta thing...plus, they're pointing out we're twins so, probably a gimmick."
She was a bit relieved though, as they allowed her to show some skin for once. She was in a pair of running shorts, an athletic supporter and some rather old shoes. She'd bought them back when they did this more frequently and they were designed specifically for this sort of thing. She'd removed her extensions as well, leaving her hair just barely long enough to pull back. She still wore gloves, though, these were thicker than her usual ones. She was stretching as the announcer finished their intro and transitioned into a ready stance only a few seconds before the buzzer went off.
She quickly fell behind as her brother sped ahead of her, but, after a few seconds, she took an easy leap to close the gap, trying to get back into her own rhythm. It'd been a while since she competed with Ren like this and the style she'd worked out to keep up with him relied a lot on jumps and transitioning into a run before jumping again. She kicked off, clearing a larger distance than he did. She was far more used to jumping around and had a better feel for how to clear gaps than her brother...who wound up launching himself out in front of her. She narrowly missed him by lifting her legs, but, it meant she hit the edge of the platform, doubled over as the impact caught her in the stomach and she fell off. She bounced back quick though, ignoring the pain as she climbed back out. "You are SO lucky I never planned on having kids Ren. That hit probably made it impossible for me now! ******** that hurt!" ╚═════════════TEAM: SLVR═════════════╝ PC: 46 OOC:
As soon as the buzzer sounded the rabbits were off! "And there goes Ren taking the lead with an explosive start. But his sister Rena is close behind and quickly catching up!" The announcer would say in a fast sportscaster-like voice. Ren was doing much smaller jumps to play to his speed while Rena was doing much bigger ones to play to her jumping abilities.Two very different but effective styles being showcased at the same time. Some of the people in the crowd watched silently, waiting for the game changing moment. Other cheered for Rena, because her jumps were much more appealing than Ren's small ones. However as they continued, unlike Rena, Ren seemed to want to spice things up. The display screen would be divided in two, one half for each twin, with the one with Ren zooming in. He performed a, to what the audience thought, flawless flip and the second his feet touched the next rock he was doing a backflip. A small cheer for Ren came up at that, as he was giving a good performance...till he overshot his target. There was a collective groan, and some laughs, as the camera caught him crashing into a rock pillar...and sliding down slowly almost cartoon style. Seconds after, the view with Rena would also have a similar tragedy; this time the impact being her stomach on the edge of the rock. Both rabbits fell into the drink. "Wow, that is going to hurt in the morning! Lets get a replay on that in slow motion while our contestants recover." The announcer would say as both halves of the screens would rewind back and start again shortly before impact. They would watch as Ren did his back flip again...activating his aura just in time as he crashed into the rock on Rena's side. After watching him slowly slide down, the crowd mostly with smiles, the view would switch to Rena. Seeing how she pulled her legs up to avoid Ren, her aura coming up right before she hit the edge hard...before slowly falling off as well. Some of the crowd was laughing, others watching intently, glad to know those two had their aura up to protect themselves from the impact at least.
As they both started again, having crashed at near enough a time span, and were reaching the middle the announcer would speak again as the cameras refocused on them. "While off to a bit of a rough start, our competitors are just warming up. One little fall won't knock them out of the competition, but lets see how they deal with this next obstacle to their goals!" The announcer would say with an excited finish as the cameras panned to a moving platform above the arena, powered by gravity dust. On it was a large container of water balloons, of different yet bright colors, and besides it was a winged faunus. "Diana here is also a student at Beacon, and she is going to be doing some target practice with our runners." He would say to a small cheer from the crowd, people eager to see them face more difficulties and potentially have another funny blow out by being hit by a water balloon. The platform would go where directed by Diana, as she had free reign to ride it or just fly by it to restock on ammo. {Roll a d100; this time its to see who gets to the end the quickest, assuming they don't fall or have an external factor slow them down, so highest roll wins. Ren has a +10 because of his danger sense, so he can account for water balloons better}
Diana had gotten a message about the exhibitions, but she had not been paying much attention to them. At least until she received a message from one of the school's numbers. Curious, she would read and smile, becoming excited at the prospect that she could help. And maybe cause a little chaos/challenge to fellow students."Of course, I would love to assist,"Diana thought and texted those exact words. It would be the next day, after the events of the carnival, so she had no real plans other than a beach visit that day. And of course, she said it to her teammates, so they would not be waiting up for her. She suggested they take what she'd heard be called...a "boy's day", in order to get to know one another better.
While she was getting ready, she would be finishing her hair while walking down the halls. Debating on walking and flying, she decided to walk (conserve her flying energy. All the while, she would be texting/messaging to see what she needed to do. In truth, this would be the perfect time to use her semblance and practice with moving targets. But the main goal? To have fun of course! She would like to meet up with the obstacle runners after, see what they were like...
As she reached the arena, she would make it to the announcer's booth and wait patiently. She had decided to wear something a bit more mobile-friendly so as to be able to hold the container while she flew above the challengers; two bunny faunus from what she was told; though in truth, it was hard to tell which was which due to the nearsighted-ness butterflies suffered. She could see their forms and such well enough but, ask her to read from here and she was screwed."This should be fun,"Diana told the announcer when he informed her what to do. When she was introduced, she would wave to the camera and the crowd with a kind smile, walking on to the ledge, she would spread her prismatic wings and fly up with the basket in hand.
On the mark, she would fly forty feet above the obstacle course and its competitors. Her lavender aura would shine around her eyes as everything below came into a clearer focus as she locked sight on her targets. Seeing how well each was doing, the petite fairy decided to take them both."This should do it,"The young woman thought as she would drop a few at a time below like a rain of chaos from above.

Ren was still in the lead for the moment as he continued to kick off of each rock, his hands playing a part for the moment. He could hear his sister as she was following up behind him as she spoke about kids. "Sis! Now is not the time to talk about that type of ordeal!" He told her as he turned around mid jump and without missing a beat, he was kicking off the rocks backwards to look and argue with her. "We're in a public place were people from whatever remains from around the world are here to see us!" He told her as he kicked into a midair twirling backflip just as he could hear the sounds of the announcer. "Are you kidding me?!" He shouted as he landed a hard stop on one of the rocks before he ran off of it, kicking off as he heard their next obstacle. He heard nothing for a bit but his short hair seemed to stiffen during his run. His ears flicked forward and then up as he heard it! The whistling of balloons! He took evasive maneuvers, using his free running to land on each rock and move to barely hanging onto the edge to try to avoid much of it, kicking off of his rock next to try and land onto the rock behind him and use this tactic to avoid the balloons and escape before they hit him.

╔════════════RENA KIYOKO════════════╗ Rena was a bit annoyed with what had happened. Her stomach still hurt like hell from the fall, but, she pressed on and Ren's dismissive attitude wasn't helping as he showboated by jumping backwards while telling her off for the topic she'd brought up."Oh really? You try running after taking a rock to the lower abdomen and tell me you won't complain." Of course, having to swap to some CBD crap to pass a recent test hadn't helped her mood any. But, damn, the pain was definitely the bigger issue right now. Maybe she'd bruised a rib or something.
She gradually got back into her rhythm and began making larger jumps than even before as she acclimated to the pain. It wasn't exactly the best showcase of her skills and she questioned why in the hell it had to be a course like this. Yeah, useful to train on, and doable, but, totally unnecessarily risky using slick jagged rocks. As they neared the next stage, her landing were coming easier and she was starting to keep pace easier as she hit the ground running. Literally. The transitions were becoming more fluid and she was starting to show just how light on her feet she was. But, still, her stomach hurt and she was focusing more on the course now than the totally blind-sided water assault. She caught a balloon in the stomach mid-jump and the impact triggered a wave of pain, causing her to land hard and roll off. It took a moment to regain her composure and she scaled back on course, glaring at the girl launching balloons at them. Oh, she had so many vicious things to yell at her, but, she needed to focus on closing the gap Ren had made on her and started leaping ahead. She still had a shot without going full out with her jumps, so, she kept pressing forward without doing so. ╚═════════════TEAM: SLVR═════════════╝ PC: 47 OOC:
He would continue to look and as the displays finished he still was not seeing the person he was looking for. It would seem he was going to have to waste more time there looking more into the manner than he thought. He did not mind it. At least some of the students were talented enough to put on a good display. IT was not the most entertaining thing ever but it was certainly better than nothing. He never been to any of the exciting things in the past like the festival or tournaments or stuff so it was a treat none the less for the male. Continuing to snack, he would watch as the race went on. Were they siblings? He could not really tell but their names were familiar enough to suggest it. In fact, they looked almost same too. HE could not imagine that at all to be honest.
The crowd watched as an almost comical scene began to play out; one of the twins, Ren, would turn round mid jump...and begin to jump while moving backwards. It costed him a bit in speed, but it won him a lot of the crowds favor. Many laughed, some cheered, as the Rabbit seemed to be trying to imitate cartoons in real life. While his exact words were not heard, his twisting back flip did elicit a loud cheer. That was also about the time Diana was released. The male twin seemed to have a knack for avoiding her water balloons, her shots coming close but not landing on the energetic rabbit raunus. Though her water balloons did make him have to treat things a lot more serious than he was before. As Ren doing his best to dodge and move, the same could be said for his twin sister Rena. Where her brother was now seeming a bit less in control as he tried to dodge the water balloons, she was more focused on trying to win the competition and her movements resembled that of a professional with how efficient they became. Her movements were fluid, jumps larger and speed increasing. She was actually close to catching up to Ren. But unlike her twin brother, she couldn't quite predict the water balloons like he could. And so...she would end up not being hit by one, but crashing into one! The rabbit faunus would land hard and roll off, having to climb back on the rock and continue after her brother. "Ooh what a hit! It seems our butterfly helper here has quite the aim; managing to catch one rabbit mid jump! Lets see that again." The announcer would say, as it would zoom in and show a slow motion replay as Rena went in almost perfect arc to take the balloon to the stomach before coming down and rolling off. Some of the crowd now cheered for Diana, while others for Rena to make the comeback of the match after her luck. But the first to reach the platform was Ren! "We have a winner for round 1! Ren has made it to the platform first. But the course is far from over. Rena still has a chance to win this. Now let us reveal the next stage!" The announcer would say with an excited voice as Rena would arrive shortly after her brother.
The wall of mist would part before them quickly, and in it the next stage of their competition was shown. It seemed to be a large, and lengthy, obstacle course. First there was a large set of stairs to climb up, that would suspend the contestants about 10 feet above the water surface. Once up the stairs, the real course began. First was a segment where the contestants would have to swing from ring to ring over the large pool of water below, dodge through moving obstacles on narrow paths while trying not to get knocked off, and finally climb up a rock wall that shot powerful blasts of water in random bursts. "Our contestants will now have to make it through our obstacle course to the other side. They will be tested in their arm strength/ acrobatic skill with the ring crossing, their ability to dodge and plan with our bumper turret path, and finally how good their reactions and intuition is with out water blast rock scaling. If they got knocked off, they have to swim back to the beginning of that section to start again. Lets see if Ren can keep his lead, or if Rena will take a point to keep this competition going!" The announcer would finish energetically, as the crowd cheered at the new obstacle. People being divided on who to root for; Ren, Rena, and some even for Diana to prevent the two from winning. But one thing was for certain; they were excited for the show to come. "On your marks, get set, go!" He would say, as this time a flare was launched with a bang sound as well to signal the start of this section of the race. {Roll a d100; this is just to see who crosses the ring swing first. You can rp it out as successfully, or non successfully, as you feel fits. Do not advance to the bumper turret path yet.}
Ren was panting a bit as he got to the platform, taking the moment to recuperate, his speed was good, but his and his sister still had average stamina. He was a bit sweaty, his tanktop not drenched yet as he heard that he made it first, a smile on his face as he threw his hands up for round one. It was a premature celebration as he then heard there was more with the next stage. He sighed and sunk his head down before he saw Rena finally catch up while the mist parts. He took one look and saw the design, no floor and it was a ringed set. Past it was alot of bumper turrets and his mind was like. 'What is this?! Vale's version of Wipeout?!' His left eye twitched before he listened to the announcer, causing him to take a few steps back. He needed momentum to help his arms from being too strained. Once they were given the next permission to go, a loud bang would help to let them know, Ren dashed off. He jumped up and towards the first ring, aiming to grab, swing, and release to get to the second one within one bound. He wasn't as jumpy as his sister, but momentum WAS his best tactic!
