~~Redtail Rathan~~ "Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity..." "Because I demonstrated to the Headmistress that a skilled warrior can overcome a mage if the warrior knows what he's doing. But a Battlemage, like myself, is the best of both worlds. And to this day, very few people have defeated my style of combat, the kind I will be teaching in my other class. But, as I stated earlier, this particular class happens to be about Elemental magic."

"Oh yes, I had realized that this is 'Elemental class' for this hour, but I was just courious about the mele magic." The young man says with a shrug.

~~Redtail Rathan~~ "Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity..." Redtail gave him a mysterious half-smile.
"Melee 'Magic?' There is absolutely no magic involved. As a matter of fact, during my Combat class, all magic is nullified. You're as normal as the outside world."

He shakes his head. "... don't take this the wrong way or anything... but... that sounds pretty lame." He says, crossing his arms as if already bored just from hearing it.

~~Redtail Rathan~~ "Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity..." Redtail chuckled a little mischieviously.
"You say that now. But I have yet to ever receive a complaint about it. it's graceful and deadly. Those rare few that master the main style I teach are almost untouchable. Especially when magic is added to the style. The reason I nullify magic around the room where the class is held is to train y'all in pure melee first. Those that pass the first half begin training on how to use the style with their magic of choice. It's a very effective style of training used for the past 10,000 years with nothing but positive results."

He shrugs. "Whatever... you can start teaching... elements and junk..." He said, looking away as if not hearing a single word after his own.

~~Redtail Rathan~~ "Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity..." Redtail began his class, instructing the students on the elements and their strengths and weaknesses. He demonstrated a few basic spells, but did not teach them how do cast them. That would come later. Soon enough, the bell rang.
"Alright boys and girls. Move along. If any of you have me for Combat next period in the gym, I do not tolerate tardiness."

The man exited quickly, hiding something glowing in his open jacket as he passed down the hall.
Arkena exits his advanced class to spot the man, as the two passed the man hands Arkena something and Arkena hides the object on himself. This exchange being nearly invisible to the naked eye. Arkena continues down the hall with a smirk and his arms crossed, closing his eyes some.

~~Redtail Rathan~~ "Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity..." Redtail arrived in the gym where a small crowd of confused looking students stood around, gazing at the sets of armor and weapons on display. A few of them were gazing at a futuristic rifle lying in a strange looking transparent box, wrapped in a shield. He glanced at the cold iron clock to check the time. Five minutes till the bell rang.

Arkena slowly makes his way into the gym, already aware of what class he's showing up to being of the teacher he'd encountered earlier. He keeps his eyes closed and arms crossed as he walks into the room. He walks threw the crowd, which moved a step back to form Arkena's approaching steps, and stops when finding himself in the front row of students which faced the rifle. He opens his eyes to glance down at it for a second before rolling his eyes and looking away. "... A gun in a box?... that's nothing to do with magic, nor dose it with melee... but I guess anything's allowed for this teacher because he's from New York, hu?" He said, shrugging a bit.

"Sorry kid. Your attempt to dig information has failed. My WIFE is from New York. The City to be exact. I'm from Atlantis. Tis why people notice the slight Greek accent. And that rifle is a Mark-15 Powered Assault Rifle, the standard issue weapon of the Se-combeian Naval Ground Forces. That rifle is the most powerful handheld weapon to exist. It fires a bolt of plasma from 2 to a 8x the speed of sound iton full power. It burns through all but the toughest alloys. It can fire on either semi-automatic, three round burst, or full auto. At full auto, it can fire 1,500 rounds per minutes. Even Merlin himself wouldn't be able to raise a magical shield able to withstand that kind of assault for long. And if he did, the operator would load the Wellinford Armor Piercing Round, or WARP for short. Same super-heated plasma, with a Tritanium drillbit. The plasma burns the target, then the drill goes into action. The drill explodes with a fusion reaction after two inches or a change in material. Which means that Magic is not the most powerful thing around. It's there as a reminder of that. However, you need not fear that weapon. The Se-combeian Empire is the Beacon of Good throughout the multi-verse. Satisifed, Arkena?"
Redtail waved his hand, causing chairs to appear, but no desks.
"Have a seat boys, and girls. You're going to want the brief rest before we begin."

((Whatever, continuing!))
Arkena rolls his eyes. "Whatever... not like you weren't in New York before now... and it hasn't failed, for you just delivered the information straight from your own mouth." He said at his little background information of where he's from. He then recrosses his arms, appearing as if only half listening before finally saying immediately after asking if he's satisfied "No, not at all... the weapon itself sounds like it has countless flaws, one of which being that it can easily be stripped, destroyed, or taken from the user... another issue sounding as if it will overheat before truly able to kill a true mage. The weapon's structure is of an alloy that, yes, takes awhile to heat up... but with 1,500 rounds per minute, that will add enough trouble to the gun that it may give trouble to the user... overheating, jamming up, or even a minimal explosion... it would take precise timing and aim to even be able to point such a thing at a ready mage... the only way it'd be much of a threat would be at an extremely short distance, but at such a distance it would have to be hidden from a mage's eye before pulled out... for it's easier to destroy a destroying weapon, then a person armed with such." He said before rolling his eyes and taking a seat. "Don't think that anyone with a weapon is at all above the power of a mage, that'd be a foolish thing to say... someone requiring such for any power is weak in my eyes, for without it... they're nothing."

~~Nocam Davis~~ "Heal THIS!" "Science is obviously a subject not taught in this school if you think plasma can jam."
A man in a light blue gi stepped out of a corner, his shaggy, medium-blonde hair framing his rugged face perfectly. His well-built body moved with an ease that spoke of years of fighting.
"The Mark-15 is made of the same material used to make the armor on a Deity-class Battleship. It don't break or overheat easily. And it fires in single shot. So it is VERY accurate. The maximum effective range of that weapon is 2700 meters. Only on full auto is the accuracy decreased, which is why it's used in Close Quarters Battling. And you could take that weapon out, point it at anyone, and pull the trigger...it wouldn't work. The reason being is that it requires the operator's DNA to work. So only I can use it. And that particular rifle has fallen through the atmoshpere of a planet before, slamming into a mountain, and still works. You put too much faith in your magic, kid. That's why Redtail was asked to teach this COmbat Class. So pay attention and you'll learn something."
Redtail chuckled and stood next to the newcomer.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you todays Guest Instructor, His Royal Highness, Admiral of the Center, Prince Nocam Davis, the Godslayer. I expect you to give him the same respect and attention you'd give me, as he is one of the only two people I've ever met that could counter the fighting style I teach and use myself."
Redtail had fixed his gaze on Arkena the entire time.

Arkena shrugs. "To be honest, I drifted in and out to miss the plasma information... and that DNA crap don't mean a thing... a real mage can manipulate certain aspects so one could fire the weapon, though I'm not going into detail, for that's advance magic and I doubt you Science-boy could grasp the outer limits of the magic mind. Oh, I don't have all my faith in magic, of course... it's just my most mastered type of fighting I know, which I feel is most useful in many cases." He then rolls his eyes at Redtail's introduction. "Got it... no attention, no respect... and assume he's not watching where he's going because his mind will be elsewhere in the hallway to bump into and ruin other's books then?..." He asked the last part as if retelling the past story of bumping into Redtail, looking away from both of them.

~~Nocam Davis~~ "Heal THIS!" "Not if the DNA lock was designed by a mage. Especially if that mage happens to be Redtail. He also redesigned our shields to make them extremely hard to break."
Nocam gave him a wink. Obviously he had pretty thick skin.
"And while Redtail here does have a tendancy to drift off, my mind and training wouldn't let me."
He crossed his arms.
"And remember, one doesn't hang around a mage for long without learning specifics about magic. I've actually learned some basic magic. I also know how to counter some of the more advanced spells. I've been nullifying spells all around me since I arrived on campus. To include this homoculus that looked like you for some reason..."
