"Um, I'm not too sure. Here, let me ask." Aether turned to the other group opposite of them, and tapped what looked like a fairy. He looked quite annoyed but answered her question anyways. She turned back to Fade and grinned. "Turns out we're going up against other groups. Hope you're good at whatever you do,"
Fade chuckles and smirks at her. "You bet I am, not to brag but I think I'm actually really decent at my naturally god given talent~" He says flashing her a playful grin.
"Really?" Aether raised an eyebrow, sending back a smug grin in return. She opened her arms and stepped back. "Well, then be my guest. I'm wide open,"
Fade smiles and steps back as well, then he runs towards her but it seems unhumanly fast and before you know it he's dealing a blow to her stomach, but makes sure not to make it so strong.
Aether doubled, holding an arm to her stomach. "Nice hit, but you look you could do better than that," she smiled. She ran at him and delivered a swift roundhouse kick to his stomach, making it just light enough.
Fade was easily able to block it, he smiled. "So you noticed, but you don't seem to be giving it your full strength either~" he bounced back before she could try anything again. "In all honesty, I don't really like fighting although I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself" he laughs shyly and awkwardly.
"Touche," Aether grinned. "I don't like fighting either, but I can't really do much without transforming into my wolf," She shuffled on her feet. Aether felt like she was useless without her wolf.
Fade laughs."No, I bet you could do a lot of damage in your human form, those looks kill man" He jokes around, thinking about how Barry was totally into her.
Aether laughed, a light blush appearing on her cheeks. She struck a pose and finger gunned at Fade. "Watch out, I'm single and dangerous," Aether shot the guns and winked.
Fade lets out a nervous and startled laugh as she finger gunned at him. "Oh yeah no I'll make sure to watch out" He winked back.
Aether laughed and was about to reply back when the teacher's voice rang out. "Fade and Aether, versus JJ and Geom." "Guess that's us," Aether said, starting to make her way to the center arena.
Sudden panic swelled up in Fade shit, our turn, he noded when Aether spoke. He also made his way to the arena. Fade tried so hard to not go all out when it came to this because he tended to get a bit violent once you got him going. But that was the exact same reason why he took the class, he desperately needed to learn to control his strength and just himself overall.
Aether glanced at Fade once they arrived at the main arena, and saw him internally panicking. She reached over and tapped his shoulder, hopefully gaining his attention. "Don't worry too much Fade. JJ's just controls fire, and Geom is an ice elf. Their powers contradict each other, so they won't be too much of a problem."
Fade flinched when she tapped his shoulder, he was clearly on edge. He nodded, knowing that she was trying to comfort him. "Yea, no problem, I won't even sweat it~" He put on a brave act.
Aether frowned at the flinch, but decided to say nothing. The teacher beckoned them into the mini arena, where JJ and Geom already were. As soon as she entered the arena, the teacher blew the whistle, signifying the start of the match. Aether whirled around, facing the teacher, who had a smug expression on her face. "Fade's not even in the arena yet!" she yelled.
Fade, who was a bit behind Aether, hesitated when she entered the arena. Then he heard the teacher blow the whistle for the start of the match and totally freaked out. What do I do now? Do I just walk in? He thought as he slowly tried to find an opening that wouldn't make it look awkward when he entered.
Aether turned around and saw Fade trying to find an opening in the match. She beckoned him with a hand. "Come on, Fade! Hur-" She was suddenly cut off as a blast of heat hit her side and sent her flying.
(Sorry I haven't been on, I've had some things going on)
Fade flinches when she sees Aether get hit, he seems to be more scared than on edge when he sees that but manages to find an opening and gets into the arena. He gets quickly on guard when he sees the two he's dealing with. He looks back to where Aether was. "Hey, are you okay???" He says wanting to go help her but too terrified to take his eyes off of the two guys.
(it's okay!)
Aether groaned and stood up, holding a hand to her side. "Yeah, I'm just gonna change into my wolf now." Her wolf, Lealu, was eager for a fight. Her bones cracked and popped, and soon a gray wolf stood in her place. The wolf growled threateningly at the two boys.
Fade looked at her with wide and surprised eyes as she changed her physical form into her wolf form, taking his eyes off of the opponents, happy for a distraction. He then turned back around and got in fighting position.
Lealu lunged at Geom when she saw that Geom was summoning an ice blast, pinning him down. She tried not to crush him, knowing that her weight was heavier than normal in her wolf form. She turned her head and barked at Fade, trying to urge him to attack JJ.
Fade didn't miss a beat and used his lightning speed to get behind JJ under a second and before JJ could react Fade wrapped his arm around his neck, holding him in a headlock for a second before flipping him over on the ground with his demonic strength.
The teacher blew the whistle, signifying the end of the match. Aether quickly changed back into her human form, luckily still wearing her clothes. She couldn't count the number of times she switched back to human form naked.
Fade looked down at JJ for a lingering second deciding if whether he should just wreck him all the way or call it a day. He then heard the teacher's whistle and snapped out of his bloodlust, awkwardly making his way out of the arena, glancing at Aether now and then.
