Taiyson watched Isaac with interest. As the student swatted away one fireball and dodged another, Taiyson felt that there were no spare movements. He only moved what needed to be moved. The scars must be from battle, after all. Taiyson didn't even flinch as Isaac rushed him and jumped over him. Didn't even look up when Isaac thrust his keyblades at him from either side. Taiyson just stuck his hands in his pockets, ducked to avoid the initial strike, spun around in a clockwise motion until he was at Isaac's side, said "For you...I think I'll only use my legs as my physical weapon," threw a roundhouse kick aimed right at Isaac's face. Time remaining: 04:41

Perfect... The kick had set up Isaac's plan perfectly. Before, it had been pretty good... Now it was insanely good. As he landed, his knees bent even further down, dropping Isaac near to the floor, effectively dodging the kick completely. Not only that, Isaac used the momentum to spin his left leg on a collision course with Taiyson's leg, still on the floor; meanwhile, his other leg being kicking at Isaac's face, which was no longer there, it would more than likely send Taiyson slamming into the ground. At which point, Isaac would have him; if he had a weapon on Taiyson's neck, he'd call that a victory and walk off the stage. He doubted it would come to that, however, and prepared another plan; he readied his left arm for a jab, and his right for a throw, depending on how Taiyson reacted. Should he jump back to avoid the blow, Isaac would throw his right keyblade. Should he move otherwise, the jab from the left would be ready... And if he DID fall to the ground, it would be a simple matter to hold the blade at his neck for a moment.

Taiyson watched Isaac's movements carefully. From the way Isaac moved and clenched his muscles at certain points, he guessed Isaac was a person who could plan for all contingencies on a moment's notice. That'll make it all the more fun when the five minutes are up and Taiyson had only used his legs and magic. As he saw the blow coming, Taiyson quickly slammed his foot into the ground, and used the force to push himself away from Isaac for a split second, before charging back toward him, a dragon's head made of flames covering his own head. "Salamander's Maw!" He made sure he was close enough so that the jaws of the dragon avatar were just close enough to seer Isaac with the flames, then clenched his mouth shut, the dragon head doing the same.

"s**t." Isaac fell backwards, catching himself with his arms and pushing off the ground- hard- with both feet aimed at the man's chest. He covered his face with both arms as he passed rather close to the flames, protecting what was effectively the only part of him that could really take any damage from them anymore- his eyes. The skin on his hands was so tough and scar tissue didn't burn as well as skin, so he remained relatively unscathed; although, they'd be red, probably. However, the man was more than likely expecting him to attempt to extinguish the flames, not leap through them to attack him. Which was perfect for him, because as soon as he made it clear through the flames, he'd reach the point where action would be needed again. Just in case the kick didn't land, Isaac had both arms prepared to open at a slicing motion to catch the man as Isaac passed over in case of a dodge. And in case of a counter, Isaac still had a trick or two up his sleeves...

Jaster looked around at the other students, he was sure that he probably would be last, but probably good. Even though he had a personal past with Taiyson and had beat him back then, he could have learned new things, while he got his new keyblade having to abandon what he used to use with his old keyblade.
Sophia still looked quite nerveous, she was the one of two girls in here....well other than that girl who acted as a leg to some....rather creepy guy, least he was creepy to her. She looked amazed very slightly though, even Mizushima was better than her. She would definatly need to learn from someone who would take it slow. She sighed, she looked at Jaster knowing he'd be the class clown but also very powerful, even though he claimed to have a new keyblade, hes seen Jaster in action one time before, but with his fists, not a keyblade.
She thought about it for a second then looked to Mizushima and then to everyone else then looked at Taiyson, then back to Jaster, and back to Taiyson again. Something about the fire in their eyes were simular, and protective styles, except shes never seen either of them angry, nor would she want to.
She took in a deep breath and watched the battle starting to lose interest.

Taiyson had the biggest shock of his day when Isaac charged through the flames. He silently cursed himself as he looked at all the scar tissue. He should've known that fire wouldn't have worked. Thanks to the challenge he issued earlier, and because his fire had effectively been rendered useless, he could only use his legs as his attack now. His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Isaac getting closer at an alarming rate and aiming right at his chest. "Flash Step!" He charged at Isaac, but as soon as one of his feet left the ground, he disappeared. He came back into visibility a few yards behind Isaac. He couldn't believe he had to resort to using that ability, but that was what he got for saying he couldn't use his fists. "Nice moves, Isaac. I can already tell you'll be in the advanced class straight away." He said with a grin. Time remaining in the match: 03:42

"Nice moves yourself. I see why you're teaching," Isaac replied after landing, seeing his target disappear and reappear elsewhere. A short-range teleporter was going to be a pain in the a** to fight. He'd done it before, of course... But it hadn't worked out that well. This time, he felt, wouldn't be too much different. He hoped that Taiyson wouldn't do that too much, but he didn't have the time to think about it; he had to act. He had yet to land a hit on the teacher, and time was ticking. He acted immediately; launching his left sword at the teacher's chest, aiming for center mass, while he charged directly after it. Any way the teacher dodged, he'd have a moment's notice to adjust and swing. One hit, that was all he was aiming for- one hit. And then one more after that... And one more after that. That's how someone got to be the best- constant improvement. So for now, he had to aim for one hit... Just one. And then just one more... And just one more. So to recap, the sword was flying through the air at Taiyson's chest, followed directly by Isaac who was prepared to swing at him no matter where he tried to dodge the oncoming sword.

Taiyson was prepared to wait as Isaac thought out his moves, but it seemed that wouldn't be the case, as he saw the sword flying right at him, with Isaac right behind the sword. He figured that it was because Isaac thought Taiyson would dodge and counter the sword, so Isaac would be ready to attack as Taiyson dodged, leaving no room to counter attack. That was a nearly flawless plan. Except when the dodge and counter are one move in the same. Right as the sword got a foot away from him, Taiyson flung his upper body backwards, the sword going right over his face. He didn't stop going backward, though. Instead, he followed through on the momentum, so as his upper body fell back and down, his legs flew up into the air to hammer the oncoming Isaac. Time remaining: 03:17

Isaac grinned, seeing the oncoming attack. That was perfect. As he got just barely to where the kick would hit him, Isaac fell to his knees and slid, rockstar style, underneath the now-horizontal man. He thrust upward with the sword remaining in his hand, aiming to nail him in the back, between the ribs. If it weren't for the man's teleportation, this attack would be flawless. There was literally no way physically possible, short of flying, to dodge or counter a strike from beneath and behind, while one was parallel with the ground. But since this guy was a short-range teleporter, Isaac knew it wasn't going to hit. He'd just teleport away, and that'd let Isaac know about his teleportation skills. Could he teleport himself from this position to an upright stance? If not, he'd be in the same position as he was now, and would simply fall to the ground on his back. Which would mean Isaac might have time to get to him and put a blade to his neck and end the fight...

This guy is amazing. Taiyson thought with glee. He has a contingency plan for every move that I do. He was honestly impressed with Isaac; even admired him a bit. Such fast thinking...Only skilled people would be able to outwit him. Thankfully, Taiyson had experience in combat and didn't need to outwit anyone. He relied on instinct alone, which led him to throw his hands behind his back and grab the blade with his gloved hands. Due to the gravity and the downward force of Taiyson's fall, the blade made his hands start to bleed, so he pushed off the sword with as much force as he could muster and was able to land a few feet away from Isaac. "Congratulations, you've got me using my hands. Not to mention you got them bleeding." His eyes turned pure white and the air around him was not unlike that of a wild predator. "Now let's just hope you don't regret it." Time remaining: 02:56

Jaster gets closer to the battle arena watching Taiyson, he knew what was coming next, he looked between him and the person he was fighting and hoped it would be alright/

"Rule number one of becoming the best- never stop. Ever. Rule two. Never regret. Ever..." Isaac stated calmly, raising an eyebrow as the man's manner changed so suddenly. Interesting- perhaps he'd become even more difficult? He'd finally managed a sort of 'hit,' even if it was technically self-inflicted by Taiyson. He recovered his other sword quickly, and turned toward the teacher. "Your move." He said, readying himself. He'd proved himself on the offensive fairly enough, he figured... Sure, that was supposedly the best defense. But a decent defense was always a pretty damn good backup. And Isaac wasn't going to be the best by simply continually laying on constant, overwhelming attacks all the time. He was going to be the best by being as good as he could possibly get in all areas, defense included. And now was a good time as any to start; if he could hold his own against this man for the remainder of the match, he'd consider himself one step closer. He held both swords at the ready, switching up his stance only slightly by having the right side forward this time. Possibly his greatest ally in swordfighting was being ambidextrous. As he readied himself, he was already thinking of ways to counter and get one actual hit on this guy; one hit. One hit. One hit. That became Isaac's mantra as he watched the man and prepared himself.

Taiyson breathed out his mouth, trying to clear his mind of every thought. That was the problem with the carnivore style he'd thought of. You had to get rid of all thoughts, all emotions, for a period of time, and just let your most basic killing instincts take over. As the last thought disappeared from his mind, he roared like a dragon and leaped into the air, going right toward Isaac. As he flew through the air, he threw his leg up like he was going to drop kick Isaac, but changed his mind and threw his feet to the ground right in front of Isaac instead. He then spun around Isaac with great speed and started to throw wild, severe punches from behind. Time remaining: 02:11

Isaac grinned- it was time. As Taiyson flew through the air at him, Isaac took aim with one sword/gun and pulled the trigger. It would seem to everyone else like nothing at all had happened, even to Taiyson; but from Isaac's eyes, he was now surrounded by a blue outline. With the other gun/sword, he took aim at one of the chairs in the room, and pulled the trigger; a gravitational attraction had been defined between the two objects. Seeing as the mass of the chair was less than the mass of Taiyson, the chair came soaring through the air to hit him from behind, as Isaac fell back to avoid the punches, even pulling up his arms to go into a very helpless looking position. This act would hopefully catch him off-guard because of Isaac's previous display, hopefully enough for him to be struck by the chair. Then with the confusion that left Taiyson in, Isaac could strike again... And this was only the beginning.
