Noir/Cyrus vs Shusara/Poliver

Enemies:

It was another day for a self-testing for Noir, she didn’t bring both of her beasts today as well and came with only a staff of storms that was a ‘memento’ from Yakuroro. She was wondering if she could do a 2 on 2 match like before because she wanted to adapt herself to fight alongside a different people. Her hands trembled with excitement; she couldn’t wait until the match could be started. She spent the time in the barrack waiting for her name to be called as she wondered about her partner and what kind of person he was. The exciting things about registering for random 2 on 2 fight was about getting a partner that might be compatible or not compatible with you, and that would determine your victory against the enemy.

Same cheers greeted her the moment she entered the arena, the same battleground that she had been fought in… The black haired girl took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she gripped her staff of storms tighter, her body was a little bit tensed and she wanted to keep the excitement that she felt inside her body. It would be bad if she lost her calm and started to spam spells, which could lead her into having low magoi. She was hoping to have a warrior partner so at least she got used to fight with them, but she would wait until her partner to enter the coliseum.

The emcee seemed fired up as he announced one of the team member that would be competing against Noir’s team and it made her wondered about it. It seemed like the enemy’s strength wouldn’t be easy to defeat based on what the emcee described, “POLIVER!”


She could feel the pressure from the man but it was not enough to make her feel overwhelmed, what made him looked like a very strong warrior was because of his short bow and great sword. He stood tall carrying those weapons like the weight meant nothing for him and that made Noir trembled more with excitement. Now she should wait for her partner to enter…

WC: 354/800

Like his sister before him, Cyrus entered the ring the sound of the crowd was almost deafening for a young man who enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the natural world. He sighed out of senination but he at least knew the person he would be fighting with. A girl he met in Balbadd many months ago one of the first people he met on his journey that came ended up helping him here in this bout to the death. He wasn't all that excited more dread than anything but he needed to shake the rust off his combat skills if he was even going to make it to Kou and fight along side his sister soon. He knew that if he died here that he was not even worthy of getting that djinn that he so coveted. He readied his scythe and sized up his opponents and the announcer screamed the names of the combatants Cyrus and Noir Vs. Poliver and Shusara Cyrus would look at noir in a knowing manner he was determined to show that he wasn't that weak person he was when the first met he had grown a lot and had a lot of experiences since their first meeting. He decided to test the waters a bit with a simple Hook to Shusara since she seemed like she would be the most annoying with her ranged attacks. He would bring her in and do some weak damage to her he needed to see how she would react before really letting out his true potential.

It was surprising when her partner entered the arena, not only her wish to be able to fight alongside a warrior came true but she had met this man before. It was a pleasant meeting in the Balbadd before and there were three of them including Ani even though they weren’t able to spend a longer time to chat more. She could say that she had not really know a lot about Cyrus in the term of fighting style, he used a scythe and maybe it wouldn’t be wise to stand very close beside him unless she wanted to get hit. She was more than prepared to receive an attack the moment the emcee begin the battle, but it seemed Cyrus was impatient. He decided to confront the female fighter from the opposing enemy and kind of leaving her with Poliver alone, that if the male warrior from the opposing team didn’t try to aim at Cyrus. She was worried actually… they started without communicating to each other so there might be a disadvantage because of that.

The black haired girl stayed still and started to think about what she needed to do, of course she would still focus on the fight and would try to protect Cyrus’ back if Poliver decided to aim on him as well. But the male warrior stayed still as well and only stared at the magician with a friendly smile that honestly made Noir confused. He didn’t seem dangerous… was what crossed the black haired girl’s mind. “You need to focus, young girl!”  But when the warrior suddenly yelled at her, Noir snapped from her thoughts and readied herself for anything that would be coming towards her. Poliver used his furious speed to get an inhuman speed before getting close to the black haired girl and deal a very powerful strike by using his righteous strike movement. The magician’s borg shattered because of the damage it got and Noir, readier than ever, had prepared four sword shaped blurry waves and a lava hound the moment he hit her borg.

Poliver, being a very experienced fighter knew what was up and he would quickly slice and slash the ‘swords’ away. Noir knew she needed to act fast because if not, then she might lose due to the man’s speed and strength. “You got a very unique magic here, young girl! Creating this cute looking lava hound pet and all… but I apologize; I would need to cut it up.” Poliver dashed past the hound with his great sword hold horizontally to the side and cut the lava hound up. The moment he was done, he would hear Noir said, “It is alright.” She got some more unique things that she could show to the warrior, so without hesitation, the girl sustained her Mille Spada and aimed to the non vital part of the male’s body as it inflicted damage. Right after she cast the swords, she would produce four balls of water that was infused with electricity and controlled it towards the man. Poliver didn’t realize this and received more damage before falling to his knees, finally being defeated. Noir would then sit beside the unconscious man and watched Cyrus’ fight with Shusara, prepared herself if Cyrus needed her help.

After having tried to hook Shusara with his scythe, but she expertly evaded it using her dodging roll.  She was quick Cyrus thought as he readied his scythe for his next move, perhaps he was being a little impatient in rushing in so quickly. The girl would retaliate with by throwing her shuriken at him. He would be able to doge it but only barely. He breathing heavily, Cyrus recollected himself, ranged attacks was her skill. The orange haired warrior remembered the days when he would train with his sister when both of his parents were gone and Mithras was studying in the house. Arianna, who was an expert markswoman would coach him in how to fight ranged attackers with a melee weapon “Just remember Cyrus, people who don’t fight head on will want to keep as much distance as they possibly can from you since you have a weapon that is hooked with a long reach, use it to bring them close to you and close that gap as much as possible.”  Regaining his composure Cyrus only was able to see the blade of the shuriken just miss his face. “Get it together boy! Shake the rust off ” he said aloud. Cyrus looked at the fight that was going on between Noir and Poliver her match looked like it was done he had never seen magicians really do much fighting since even though his brother was a magic user, he was very much in the support side and not much for all out attacks. Unfortunately for the orange haired boy he would have to wait a little bit more until that day would come because her match was already over. It was just he and Shusara. As much as he would have liked Noir help, he knew that he had to do this on his own. “Come on, what are you waiting for, you haven’t hit me once yet!” the ninja like warrior said to him in a playful manner without talking Cyrus sprinted towards as fast as he could preparing for his attack, the Slash Dance slicing at her twice. He managed to hit her but that didn't keep her down “you’re going to have to do better than that if you want to defeat me!” she laughed. That got Cyrus mad, He charged at her using his Enhanced Turnstile smacking her in the face with three hits, she decided to widen the gap between them by jumping backwards whilst using her slice and dice smartly Cyrus decided to obscure her vision by kicking up some dust in her eyes but she still managed to hit him a few times. Down but not out, Cyrus would use and enhanced Hook once more to bring her closer to him then used his finisher the Headless Sky a move he perfected so long ago in Heliohapt against another warrior. He was successful in landing it unlike that time in the desert. The ground here was a lot easier to maneuver with here than on the streets of Heliohapt. Shusara fell down unconscious. Elated and very exhausted Cyrus fell to his knees. The crowd cheered for the two victorious warriors catching his breath a bit, he got back up using his scythe for support. He laughed, he had poured he whole heart into this fight, something he hadn’t done in a very long time. This is what its like to be a fighter, he kind of enjoyed it but he would need to practice a lot more in the interim if he wanted to help his sister as effectively as he wanted to.

Noir would stand up as Cyrus managed to beat Shusara and pat him on his shoulder, "Nice fight." The black haired girl would then wait until the emcee announced their victory as she stared at the opposing team. Once the result was up, the magician approached Poliver and Shusara before holding up her bracelet and used the healing power, healing up half of the damage that they got. It should be fine and they could heal the rest of the wounds that they took quickly by just counting days. She had watched how Cyrus fight and put in on her mind that perhaps she would need to find a way to support him, although if she could be honest, then she could say that she was probably more into the offensive way... However the overall of the match was good and she enjoyed it.

Cyrus looked over to the dark haired magician as she congratulated him on their shared victory. He would stare at her intently as she left the stadium...interesting girl he thought he wished that he could have seen her fight properly perhaps she could teach him about magic...purely from an academic point of view obviously. Having exited the coliseum in that trial by fire, Cyrus knew that he probably should pick up some new skills before heading to Kou. This was definite an experience that he wouldn't forget anytime soon. Having his very first instance of combat, tried and true combat, he had finally shaken the rust of and he was ready for action.
