Evening at Hyakuji, with classes finished in late afternoon it was a time where the students would probably be hanging out with their friends, and the staff would be chilling out after they're done marking assignments and other paperwork. The doors to the sports hall opened, squeaking gently on well-oiled hinges as a solo figure of a young woman stood silhouetted beneath the doorway with a sports bag in her right hand. And then there was light. Reaching for a light switch next to the entrance, Lavender switched on the lights as they flickered to life with a humming noise, bathing the sports hall in white fluorescent lights. And there stood Lavender, dressed in a white sports jacket with lilac accents and purple gym shorts with white vertical stripes running down the sides, her long amethyst hair tied up in a high ponytail by a navy-colored ribbon. Putting on the ear pieces of her MP3 player, Lavender played a song on her MP3 player, selecting a track at random: It was just a standard workout routine for the aeromancer as she placed her bag on one of the nearby benches, before heading over to the matted floor in the center of the hall - beginning her routine with a series of warm-up exercises as she stretched her limbs, back, neck and shoulder muscles and tendons, followed by a few minutes of shadow boxing as the aeromancer threw punches, kicks, knees and elbows at an imaginary opponent. With her warmup session finished, the aeromancer proceeded to unzip her jacket, slipping off the overgarment to reveal a lilac sports bra with white highlights, while the Mentor's Stone hung around her neck on a thin silver chain. Tying her jacket around the waist the aeromancer walked towards the nearest punching bag as she took up a fighting stance, standing with her fists raised and her right leg slightly forward and left leg backwards, and started with a left straight to the punching bag, her punch resounding on impact as the sound rang through the empty sports hall. And another, and another, followed by a right elbow strike as the aeromancer pivoted about the waist to slam her elbow against the punching bag, followed by stepping back nimbly and with a twist of her hips delivering a roundhouse kick. |

One thing Lavender wasn't aware of was that high above her, just below the rafters of the ceiling, was another person already in the hall training. Cerium was blindfolded and her eyes were closed beneath that blindfold. How was Cerium up so high exactly? That was simple. She was training her powers and her body at the same time, finding that the two could be inately interlinked and the right training methods and techniques could yield amazing results. She breathed slowly, her chest rose and fell as she did so, encased in a plain black sports bra, while sweat dripped from her brow and onto the black blindfold around her eyes. She hadn't heard Lavender come inside of the gym, partly due to the fact that she was focusing too hard to be bothered with other sounds, hearing them as something far off and distance rather than right beneath her. Yet, one might wonder as to what she was focusing on or rather how she was staying afloat in the air. Well the answer was simple. A series of metal poles were floating beneath Cerium, kept a float by her powers. She was moving across them slowly, careful to maind her footplacement as she practiced her Wushu Kata. One misstep would mean losing her balance and falling. Her hands thrust out and she struck at the air, before following through would a roudhouse kick to her imaginary opponant's skull. Her blue sweat-pants flaired slighty as she kicked out again several times, taking a step forward along the pole with every kick. She spun around, striking a non-existant target behind her a finger-pointed stirke, before unleashing a barrage of double-handed point-strikes. She then came to a stop, breathing heavily for a moment before regaining control of the air within her body. As she breathed in and out, she now felt a heat coming from above her. She opened her eyes under the blindfold to see the light were on through the fabric. Removing it carefully and letting her eyes adjust to the change in light. She looked down below to see who had come into the gym, before she spotted a familiar head of purple hair and pointy ears. A cat-like grin spread across Cerium's face as she adjusted the white ribbon that was tieing her hair hair together in a ponytail. She slowly lowered herself down, standing on one of the poles, to float just behind Lavender, before shifting the poles around to spell "Yo." So that when Lavender turned around from her exercise she'd see Cerium floating on a just above the greeting. She stuck her finger and thumb into her mouth and let out a loud wolf whistle to get Lavender's attention, seeing as she had her earphones in. |

"Wha-?" Lavender raised her eyebrows in surprise as she heard a whistle over the music on her MP3 player, despite the music, a combination of military training honed by actual field experience and her aeromancy abilities allowed the aeromancer to trace the whistle to come from right behind her. Lavender spun around, her eyes narrowed as the aeromancer raised an elbow, only to notice from the corner of her eye a familar face, and stopped in a heartbeat as the aeromancer's elbow stopped barely an inch away from Cerium's ribcage.![]() "Ceri-chan?" Lavender wondered aloud, wide-eyed at the taller girl's unexpected arrival. "That scared me... for a moment I nearly struck you!" the aeromancer exclaimed as she turned around to face Cerium. "Oh wait... you were here before me?" Lavender queried, looking Cerium from head to toe - the ferromancer was dressed not too unlike herself in a training outfit - black sports bra and blue sweat pants. And judging from how the taller girl's navy-colored hair was plastered over her forehead, it was clear she'd been practicing for quite a while there already, before Lavender even arrived. "So, you were training in the sports hall with the lights out?" Lavender wondered. "Lemme guess, you're practicing blind-fighting techniques, no?" the aeromancer asked, her expression lightening up as a smile crossed her lips. Edited by Lawman, Nov 15 2011, 02:57 PM.

Cerium didn't flinch as Lavender attempted to hit her. She simply smiled sweetly, having faith that Lavender would stop before she made impact. "Hiiiiiii Lavie-nyan~ And yeah you nearly did! That's quite impressive you were so ready to go at it and all~!" replied Cerium, hopping off of the metal pole and coming to stand in front of her fellow teacher and friend. When stated that Cerium was here beforehand and the type of training she was doing Cerium giggled and nodded, taking the blindfold that was currently hanging around her neck off and letting it float to the ground. "Yep~ I was training in the rafter while balancing on these poles I was lifting with my powers. Its a really great workout and way to find your center~ Body, mind and soul all at work~" She then gently wiggled Lavender's ear, knowing how the aeromancer got about having them touched, "You've got some pretty decent moves yourself~ I saw you really showing that back what for." She said happily, never actually having seen Lavender in action before, even though Nickle had told her about the recent duel the two had had. "You're a lot better at hand-to-hand combat that Ni-kun, he's terrible at it. Sure he knows some basic priciples, but even those need major improvement. What style was it that you were using?" Cerium went to an adjacent back and leap up into the air, doing a reverse 180 degree roundhouse kick and knocking the bag off of the hook that was holding it up. "I've been trained in Wushu myself~" |

To her credit, Lavender had to praise Cerium for possessing good judgement as the taller girl didn't even flinch as her elbow stopped barely an inch away. This sort of honed instinct was something that comes as a result of intense training in martial arts, and looking at the sweetly-smiling Cerium, Lavender couldn't help but also smile as well. "Hiiiiiii Lavie-nyan~ And yeah you nearly did! That's quite impressive you were so ready to go at it and all~!" the ferromancer commented, in her usual sultry kind of tone, nodding her head with a giggle as she took off the black blindfold that was hanging off her neck. "Yep~ I was training in the rafter while balancing on these poles I was lifting with my powers. Its a really great workout and way to find your center~ Body, mind and soul all at work~" Cerium continued, before gently wiggling Lavender's ear, eliciting a muffled squeal from the aeromancer as she shrunk back slightly and twitched her ears a little on reflex - almost like how a cat's ears would twitch when stroked. "You've got some pretty decent moves yourself~ I saw you really showing that back what for." "Combat training while standing on metal poles levitated by your powers? Now that's sweet! Looks like with enough training, aerial combat could also be something you can expand into," Lavender replied, nodding gently as she placed her hands on her hips. "Thanks, Ceri-chan. I didn't see you in action beforehand, but you certainly carry yourself with the air of a fine warrior,"" the aeromancer continued, grinning slightly at the ferromancer's compliment. "You're a lot better at hand-to-hand combat that Ni-kun, he's terrible at it. Sure he knows some basic priciples, but even those need major improvement. What style was it that you were using?" Lavender watched as the ferromancer headed to an adjacent punching-bag and leaped into the air, performing a midair 180° roundhouse and kicking the bag right off its hook, eliciting a whistle from Lavender. "I've been trained in Wushu myself~" "Ah, wushu... in its long and rich history that spanned millenia China has faced plenty of threats both in the form of civil wars and barbarian invasions. It's little wonder they have devised some of the most sophisticated forms of combat in the known world," Lavender nodded her head with a smile. "I was trained in Aiki-jūjutsu, but I'm technically not considered a martial artist since I never earned myself any of its qualifying ranks. During my training with GLADIUS and the SAS I've covered primarily Krav Maga. It's certainly not much to look at..." Lavender trailed off as faintly glowing lavender-colored swirls of air gathered in front of the aeromancer to form the soft outline of what appears to be soldier in combat gear and wielding an AK-47 with a bayonet. The "hologram" lunged forward in an attempt to stab the aeromancer, only to have her turn her body sideways to let the thrust miss her by an inch, followed-up with a counter as Lavender grabbed the soldier's Kalashnikov by the barrel (the portion with the handguard), while simultaneously seizing his other shoulder and delivering a headbutt to the face, which was then followed-up by a knee to the midsection and a sweep to the legs to trip him up, and finally delivering a coup de grace in the form of a stomp to the neck. "...but it works," Lavender continued with a grin as she ended her demonstration, the hologram dissipating as the aeromancer relinquished her control. |

Cerium smiled quite happily, even more so than she usually did when hearing something that made her happy. "Ah~ Lavie-nyan you know the history of my style so well! I was trained in China, so I guess it was only natural for me to learn Wushu, but I'm really surprised that you know about it in such depth." Cerium remained silent for a moment as Lavender exaplained her own styles that she'd been taught in. Of course, Cerium knew that being a martial artist wasn't only about grading, it was about how you used what you had been taught. After all, once you knew the basics, all the advanced techniques were just about development and addition to those bases. She watched as Lavender used her own powers to demonstrate her fighting style on a man formed from her coloured air. Cerium had to admit the techniques were fierce, but then a small smile came onto her face as she got an idea. She applauded Lavender in earnest, impressed at the other woman's execution. "Very very impressive~" She then ran backwards, swiming her leg outwards and using the momentum to bring her other leg around, using this secondary momentum to increase her spin velocity before landing on the floor in a split, one which she slid up from and spun around on her one foot, performing a full 360 degree roundhouse kick before facing Lavender with her kicking leg raised up and pointed down, with her one hand forward and the other drawn into her chest, her claws positioned somewhat like tiger claws. "Wanna see how well your style holds up against something that isn't an air dummy?" she said with a wicked smile as she challenged Lavender to a friendly bout. "I won't use my powers if you won't~" |

"Why thank you," Lavender replied in earnest after Cerium appeared wowed by her display of unarmed combat skill, her hands holding an imaginary skirt as the aeromancer curtsied out of pure habit - she wasn't wearing a skirt, but the aeromancer wore them often enough that it was an action that came naturally when she wanted to be formally polite. Lavender stood back and watched as Cerium performed another demonstration of her own, running backwards before swinging her leg outwards, using her momentum to bring her other leg around, increasing the velocity of her spin to land on the floor in a split, before swiftly recovering to spin around on one foot to perform a full 360° roundhouse kick before facing the aeromancer, with her kicking leg raised and foot pointed down, one hand forward and another hand tucked close to her chest, her hands in a pose resembling that of the tiger claw style. Whistling, Lavender smiled as she applauded Cerium's display. "Sweet moves, Ceri-chan!" the aeromancer complimented. "Wanna see how well your style holds up against something that isn't an air dummy?" Cerium asked, flashing Lavender a wicked-looking smile. "I won't use my powers if you won't~" A friendly match huh? A grin slowly crossed Lavender's lips as the aeromancer laced her fingers together and turned her palms outwards before stretching her hands and arms, making a cracking noise from her hands. "I welcome your challenge, Ceri-chan! A friendly close-quarters match-up without use of power it is then," the aeromancer replied as she removed her jacket that was wrapped around her waist, before swinging around and tossing the garment aside to have it land on the head of a nearby practice dummy.

Cerium grinned, her eyes narrowing and becoming somewhat cat-like, watching as Lavender got ready for the friendly bout, "Well alright then. Don't mistake me for Nickle though, I always like making the first move~!" Even though she had given Lavender some time to ready herself, Cerium's speed was still a tad scary. She rushed Lavender and immediately began to spin at close range, her tiger style seeming to play a dominant form in her fighting style, even though wushu was predominantly punches. Cerium just found it easier for a female to use open hand techniques, as oppossed to a closed fist, as they could easily be turned from a strike to a grab. As she quickly spun, it became clear what he move was going to be, a back-handed strike followed up but an open hand strike, however that wasn't all, whether the hand strikes missed or not, Cerium kept using the momentum to spin again, this time going lower and attempting to sweep Lavender. |

Lavender assumed her combat stance as the aeromancer raised her fists and placed one foot forward and another behind her in a standard kickboxing stance which was also favored by most military operatives, a glimmer in her eye as she watched Cerium look back at her with narrowed eyes, a catlike grin on the ferromancer's face. "Well alright then. Don't mistake me for Nickle though, I always like making the first move~!" the ferromancer declared as she closed the gap with a frightening speed - not exactly the superhuman kind of fast, of course, but certainly when fighting on the level of normal humans it was a speed few would expect, or be prepared for. A smile crossed Lavender's face in that brief fraction of a second - clearly Cerium was someone who knew her stuff, as opposed to many who claimed to be kung-fu masters but have clearly only had experience fighting in sporting tournaments or getting their form perfect, who clearly wouldn't last more than a few seconds in an actual fight. As soon as Cerium was almost upon Lavender the ferromancer opened the bout with a spin that led to a backhand strike, and acting on instinct the aeromancer brought her forearm up to block Cerium's first strike in mid-swing; although the ferromancer wasn't clearly about to ease up on the pressure as she followed-up her backhand with an open hand thrust, which Lavender turned her body sideways to allow the strike to slip past her by a fraction of an inch. Spinning yet again while going lower, it was clear to Lavender that Cerium intended a leg sweep to knock her off her feet. However, the aeromancer was also aware that like all kicks, they are only effective when you are within its attack radius - which runs from the shins to the feet - anywhere closer to the kicker's body and a kick loses its effectiveness due to a lack of momentum with which to build up kinetic force. Which was why at such close quarters a knee strike would be preferable to a kick... and given Cerium's height it was clear that she held a significant reach advantage. As Cerium made her second spin to attempt her ground sweep Lavender simply lunged forward, such that the two girls would be literally face to face, or rather (due to their sizable height difference) face to chest with each other, at such close quarters, moves that rely on rotational movements tended to lose most of their potency; and at the same time she closed in on the ferromancer, Lavender's hands darted out in an attempt to seize one of Cerium's arms by the wrist, and twist it to approaching the limits of its normal range of rotation to apply a pain-based submission hold! |

Cerium was impressed by the fact that Lavender was able to deflect her attacks with such relative ease. Lavender was fast enough to catch the ferromancers wrist, but Cerium was putting up a really good fight and preventing Lavender from twisting it or moving it as she pleased. However, the scene was quite....interesting. Lavender's forward movement meant that Cerium's leg was now extended and somwhat around the back of Lavender and Lavender was basically face-frist in Cerium's chest while holding the gym teacher's wrist. "にゃ~<3" Cerium blushed for a moment, "Lavie-nyan~ That's so bold~" she said before using her free hand to tickle Lavender's ears, knowing full-well that it was the aeromancer's weak spot. Using the chance, Cerium broke free, giving Lavender a moment to compose herself, "Sorry about the Lavie-nyan, but I like grabbing hold of the sitation~" Cerium then ran up to Lavender and her right leg shot out, kicking to her lower body, then her torso and then to her head in quick pull-back succession, before jumping and spinning around to perform a roundhouse kick to the head. |

At a first glance it would seem that Lavender had executed a near-perfect counter; moving in right up against Cerium's body the aeromancer was able to neutralize the ferromancer's advantage of a longer reach. Unless she was also a competent grappler herself or good at moves that didn't require a build-up of momentum to execute, such as the famous one-inch punch. Lavender's self-assurance didn't last though, as Cerium fought back against the aeromancer's hold, being strong and skilled enough to prevent the arm that Lavender had seized from being manipulated, as the aeromancer soon found herself wrestling against Cerium's strength! "にゃ~<3" Cerium gave an almost flirtatious-sounding 'nya', blushing briefly as the two girls grappled. "Lavie-nyan~ That's so bold~" "Eh!?" Lavender's eyes widened in surprise at the ferromancer's response. Whether it was simply a tease on Cerium's part, or the aeromancer somehow 'mishandled' the ferromancer during the tussle no one really knew, but either way it wasn't something Lavender was expecting or prepared for. And then she felt it; a naughty tickle on her elflike ears by Cerium's free hand. Almost instantly the aeromancer felt her body experience a momentary limpness as a ticklish sensation washed through her mind, more than enough to cause the aeromancer to break her grip on the taller girl as she shrank back, eliciting a "にゃ" of her own as the aeromancer's ears twitched on reflex, inadvertently blushing in the process. "No fair, Ceri-chan," Lavender said between girly giggles; as a short interval followed as Cerium allowed the aeromancer some time to compose herself; it never failed to embarrass Lavender on how ticklish she tended to get on the ears. "Sorry about the Lavie-nyan, but I like grabbing hold of the sitation~" the ferromancer said as she ran up to Lavender as soon as the aeromancer recovered, starting first with her right foot aimed at the lower torso; the aeromancer grunted as she lurched under the impact as the first kick connected, grimacing as she felt it against her thigh. As soon as the first kick connected, Cerium would pull back and follow-up with a second higher one aimed for the torso, which Lavender intercepted by placing her forearm close to her chest as Cerium kicked, blocking the blow on her arm. Then came the Great Kahuna - a midair roundhouse as the ferromancer jumped up and spun about in midair, and it was there and then a glimmer came into the aeromancer's green eyes. Opportunity. Ducking, Lavender allowed Cerium's roundhouse to pass over her head and almost synchronously performed a spin, attempting to circle around to the ferromancer's back while she was still (hopefully) regaining her footing, looking to wrap her arms around Cerium's waist from behind while pressing belly-to-back against the ferromancer and with a kiai shout would try to pitch her body backwards in an attempt to lift the taller girl off her feet and fall backwards onto the mat in a move commonly known as the German Suplex! |

"Nani!?" Cerium was surprised at how fast Lavender had moved around her, unable to defend herself from the aeromancer's arms wrapping around her. The purple haired woman was straonger than she appeared as Ceroum felt herself being lift off of the ground as Lavender's arms locked around her waist in a suplex hold. Cerium had split seconds to react, not wanting to have her head or sholders slammed onto the ground, even if it was padded. Cerium's arms shot out above her head, attempting to stop the suplex. The impact hurt her hands and arms like hell, but Cerium had just managed to save her torse from the suplex, even if it meant her arms felt like jelly for a moment. She needed to get out of the hold as quickly as possible and while arms were still aching from having to stop her entire body's momentum, her fingers gripped the mat tightly while she straitened her legs. Cerium had reversed the position of her right hand, having it facing the opposite direction to when she'd used it to stop herself. Lavender would feel and almighty attempt on Cerium's part to escape the other woman's grip as she used her hands gripping the mat as an anchor to initial a twist that would hopefully break her free of Lavender's grasp. |

"Wow, you're good!" Lavender gasped, wide-eyed with surprise as Cerium used her arms to soften the impact of the landing; preventing her from taking the brunt of the German suplex, even on the padded mat beneath them, an impact like this could've easily put another fighter down for a ten count. The aeromancer would've intended to capitalize on her current situational advantage of having the ferromancer on the ground, where she was certain that Cerium lacked the kind of ground-fighting expertise that Lavender possessed, whereby the aeromancer was confident that she would dominate in this regard. Except that Cerium had no intention of staying in Lavender's hold; the aeromancer would feel the resistance put up by the ferromancer as she gripped the mat tightly and performed a twist, unable to maintain her hold on Cerium, the aeromancer could only roll to the side as soon as the taller girl slipped out from her hold, before kicking out and flipping herself back onto her feet to resume her kickboxing stance, eying the ferromancer cautiously as she waited for Cerium to recover. "My turn to put the pressure for a change, Ceri-chan," Lavender cooed before taking the offensive for the first time with a one-two punch combo, first with a left high jab, followed by a right gut punch.

Cerium spun out of Lavender's arms, coming to land in a position where it seemed as if the raven haired woman was doing one handed press-ups, while her other hand rested carefully on her back. Cerium pushed herself up onto her knees before coming to stand up agan, just before Lavender attacked. Cerium had to admit she was starting to get a feel for Lavender's style now. It was a grand mixture of all highly effective techniques from various styles, however judging from the way Lavender had grabbed her before and the suplex she had just tried to pull, Cerium could guess that her elfin friend had a prechant for grappling manuevers. Cerium need to watch herself, because while she had the physical stamina and training from years olypmpic training, Lavender knew how to execute her moves from field experience due to her time in, Gladius was it? She'd mentioned it once or twice in the past. However Cerium had no time to really contemplate this as Lavender came at Cerium with a two punch combination, moments after Cerium had taken up a normal fighting stance, her fists up. As the upper left punch approached, Cerium moved her head to the side, letting it fly past her ear, while she focussed on the gut-punch that was coming for her mid-section. With her hands at the ready, Cerium let her left wrist become slightly limp, letting it drop and fall towards the right punch, to use her wrist in a sharp flicking movement and catching Lavender just above her own wrist and stopping the punch in the process. In the meantime, Cerium moved in closer to Lavender, somewhat like a boxer, who moved into the pain as it were, ready to take the punch if her deflectiong didn't work. Cerium's left hand would have been lowered from the previous defensive action and so her right hand shot out to grab the Lavender's shoulder and bring her closer while Cerium raised her right knee, aiming to knee her fighting partner in the gut. |

Lavender wasn't banking on her left jab to connect at all - if only because so far it had been Cerium maintaining the offensive, and the punch was there to test the waters, so to speak. Being a stand-up fight sort of girl thanks to her wushu styles, it was no surprise that the ferromancer excelled in the field of offense, seizing opportunities to make first strikes, and from there maintaining the pressure on her opponent, overwhelming them in short order using a brutal combination of speed, brute strength and aggressiveness. By comparison, the aeromancer was herself more focused on counters, allowing her opponents to make the first move, then punishing them for their mistakes. Her style compared against Cerium's could be best summed up as "irresistable force meets immovable object". The aeromancer smiled wryly as her jab missed Cerium, brushing past the ferromancer's ear as she tilted her head to allow the aeromancer's jab to slip past, followed by a flick from her left hand to intercept Lavender's right gut punch, deflecting the aeromancer's fist. It was clear that despite being focused on offense, the taller girl hadn't disregarded the need for defensive techniques. To guard or evade with minimal movements; this was the key to an effective counterattack, by refraining from extraneous moves it saves time and energy for one to counter almost instantly, or sometimes even at the same time the defense was made. This piece of wisdom came to bite at Lavender as Cerium punished the aeromancer for the trouble, moving in right up against her and used her free hand to clinch the aeromancer's right shoulder, while simultaneously bringing a knee up to deliver a knee strike! The knee strike - the signature move of Muay-Thai, known also as the "Art of Eight Limbs" - pulling one's opponent in while at the same time driving one's knee forward, the combined motion of two bodies moving towards each, coupled with focusing the point of impact onto a single point on the knee can yield tremendous force, and even though both girls were pulling their punches in this friendly fight, Lavender wasn't going to kid herself - this was going to hurt. As soon as Cerium had her hand on Lavender's shoulder the aeromancer had more or less expected a move along those lines, as she used her nearest free limb - her left arm - placing her arm against her torso at the moment Cerium brought her knee up. Pain shot up the aeromancer's left arm, and she certainly felt it in the gut too - although her timely defense prevented her from getting the wind knocked out of her chest. "Right where I wanted, Ceri-chan," Lavender grunted as she managed to put on a pained smile and a wink, and with a swift, rolling motion moved her left forearm from resting against Cerium's knee to attempt to hook the taller girl's leg, trapping it between her left forearm and bicep, while at the same time pushing her upper body forward to press her right shoulder against the ferromancer's midsection while attempting to wrap her right arm around the thigh of Cerium's leg that was standing on the mat. With her shoulder striking below Cerium's center of gravity in an attempt to destabilize her, Lavender would at the same time lunge forward on her legs and lift her arms upwards, leveraging on the strength of her lower body in an attempt to lift the taller girl off her feet and up to chest-level to pivot her around such that her body would draw parallel with the ground, before dropping both herself and Cerium onto the mat in a bodyslam-pin combo, with the aeromancer assuming dominant position by being on top of the ferromancer's side. If all goes as planned, Lavender would have managed to execute what was known as a Double Leg Takedown, or simply known as a "Double". Cerium might be quick on her feet, but let's see how well she would fare on the mat! |
