Tension. That was all Selene felt as the corporate heiress stepped into the arena, dressed in a white long-sleeved blouse with a cream-colored V-necked sweater over it, along with a maroon tartan plaid skirt and a matching red scarf and brown dress boots and black thigh-highs. She was going up against Chizu? Now talk about a tough draw... the corporate heiress had seen the aeromancer in action enough times during their Arcadia missions to know that Chizu's speed gives the aeromancer an edge over the corporate heiress' spells. "May the better fighter win," Selene commented as she tightened her grip around the bejeweled handle of her ritual dagger.

So her first match was against Selene? Chizu strode out into the clearing, facing the other woman. She had seen Selene in action during Arcadia missions, and respected her abilities. Selene wouldn't make the fight easy, but Chizu didn't intend to lose. She had come so close last time--first runner up. She didn't intend to leave this time without a victory. Although she was glad that her opponent was someone she respected. It made the fight a lot more interesting.

"Yeah," said Chizu, nodding once at Selene's words. "Good luck, Selene."

That was the extent of their pleasantries. Chizu inclined her head towards the other woman, leaning forward slightly in what resembled a respectful bow. She straightened up and faced Selene, waiting.

She knew what the dagger in Selene's hand was. With it, Selene would be able to cast spells and call forth summons like Valkyrie. She had never seen Selene in action without it. The smart thing to do would be to attempt to wrest the dagger away from her now, and hope that the rest of the fight would be easy. But she didn't attempt to do that. If it worked, it would be a dirty trick, cutting off Selene's source of power before the fight even began.

That wasn't how she wanted to fight.

"Good luck, Selene." The corporate heiress nodded at Chizu's statement, returning the aeromancer's bow solemnly. She'd heard of how the first tournament turned out, and how Chizu had come in as the first runner-up. There was little doubt that having returned to grace the tournament meant renewed determination to win. And with the pre-match formalities over and done with, it was time to get serious.

Drawing a trickle of blood from her right hand with her ritual dagger, a blue-white aura surrounded Selene as she focused her willpower, mentally forming the runes in her mind as the very blood that oozed out from her wound glowed a brilliant white as a spell circle appeared before the corporate heiress' feet, while a miniature version of the similar circle floated in front of her body as the corporate heiress spread out her arms, a gale blowing from out of nowhere stirring up the leaves and dirt. It was a more taxing, yet at the same time safer and faster way of invoking her Ritual of Blood spells, allowing her to instantly cast her spells without the fear of getting her spell disrupted by attacks.

"Come hither, Valkyrie!" Selene announced as a column of white light radiated from the center of the spell circle, the Valkyrie materializing along with her claymore, performing a salute before getting into a ready stance with her claymore raised in front of her, turning the sword such that she would be using the blunt edge to strike. "I'll need to seize the first strike!" Selene thought as the Valkyrie charged forward in a speed burst, making a beeline for Chizu with her sword appearing poised to strike (with the flat edge, of course), before suddenly dropping to the ground and performing a baseball slide towards the aeromancer, attempting to tackle her to the ground!

Chizu stared as the armored warrior appeared in front of her, summoned by Selene's magic. She had expected Valkyrie. Chizu had encountered this particular summon before, but she had never had to fight it. She had given its strengths and weaknesses some thought before stepping into the arena. The armor the summon wore would make it difficult to damage. While the wind could be devastating, Chizu's attacks were usually slicing attacks, deterred by heavy armor. The claymore would be dangerous if she was hit with it as well. But the size and weight of the weapon gave her one advantage. She was fast.

And the Valkyrie had another weakness.

Her eyes narrowed as the Valkyrie rushed at her, her blade poised to strike. The wind whipped up around Chizu in a circle, scattering leaves and dust in the breeze around her as she eyed her oncoming attacker. Then the winds converged, launching Chizu into the air. The jump made the Valkyrie's feint moot, but Chizu honestly hadn't expected the Valkyrie to change tactics. She had another objective from the beginning.

Chizu hovered in the air and raised her hands in front of her, forming a blast of wind. It fired from the palm of her hand, pushing her back slightly in the air. The blast's trajectory was not towards the Valkyrie, but towards Selene herself.

Now that the battle was underway, all bets were off, and a summon's biggest weak point was always its summoner.

The Valkyrie slid across the floor with a screech of metal and shower of sparks, but only to find that the aeromancer had gone airborne. Despite the armor that the Valkyrie wore, a factor that often caught enemies offguard was that the warrior maiden was surprisingly fast; but Chizu was a lot faster than normal humans, and Selene would wager, even more agile. The Valkyrie broke out from her sliding position and raised herself into a half-kneeling position - but in the same space of time the aeromancer had already aimed a blast of wind right at Selene!

There was no way that the corporate heiress could dodge a blast of wind that was coming right at her; but upon seeing Chizu raise her hands Selene had more or less anticipated what the aeromancer was up to, as she dived away from her present location a mere split second before the blast hit, sending the corporate heiress sprawling as she landed on her hands and knees, dirt and leaves raining down upon her. Of course, when dealing with any summoner a most effective tactic was always to go straight for the summoner rather than his or her summons.

However, Selene wasn't about to let Chizu seize that advantage. "Valkyrie, keep her busy!" Selene called out the her Valkyrie. Bending her knees slightly, the Valkyrie would spring to the air in a gravity-defying leap, almost appearing to "fly" at Chizu with her claymore clutched in both hands, raised over her head, attempting a downwards swing aimed at smacking the aeromancer out of the air and down to the ground.

Meanwhile, Selene raised herself into a half-kneeling position, drawing a circle of runes on the floor of the arena, with each rune taking on a brilliant blue glow upon completion. "Circle of Admonition..." the corporate heiress uttered the name of her defensive spell. Under the heat of battle however, it takes longer than usual for her to complete the set of runes that were needed to create the protective spell circle. But until then, she would need to hope that the Valkyrie could keep Chizu busy long enough for her to complete her spell.

The blast missed, striking the ground where Selene was standing just a few moments ago and kicking dirt and grass up in its wake. Chizu's eyes narrowed as she stared down at the summoner. She knew that she wouldn't get another chance. Already, bright light began to flare up around Selene, meaning a spell was being cast. Before she could retaliate, the Valkyrie jumped up to meet her, blocking Chizu's view of the summoner. Her eyes widened.

She's fast!

Chizu jumped back in the air, twisting out of the way of the Valkyrie's downward slash. The slash cut through Chizu's wind stream, parting the air in its passing, and Chizu bobbed and swayed unsteadily, nearly falling out of the air. She raised her hand, bringing wind in to replace the unstable air and righting herself quickly.

Her eyes narrowed and she darted closer to the Valkyrie, drawing her fist back and sweeping it to the side as she aimed a punch at the summon's head. Chizu jumped back and extended her hands to either side of her, the air above the Valkyrie moving down rapidly in an attempt to throw the summon to the ground. Chizu launched herself higher into the air, flying over the Valkrye and heading straight towards Selene, her arms pressed to her side as she shot downwards like a bullet.

Below her, three blunt darts of air skimmed the ground and parted ways, heading towards Selene from three equidistant points.

Despite her gravity-defying jumps, being in midair still meant that the Valkyrie was at the mercy of the wind, especially when said wind was being controlled by paranormal means, and of course, the laws of gravity still apply - and no matter how high the Valkyrie could jump, that which goes up must eventually come down. Chizu on the other hand, being able to ride the winds had no such limitations, and twisted out of the way of the Valkyrie's swing, retaliating with a punch that sent the Valkyrie's head jerking to one side, before the armored girl was sent plummeting back to earth by a powerful downdraft summoned by the aeromancer, crashing with enough force to leave an imprint upon the ground.

"Tch!" Selene hissed as she caught sight of Chizu increasing her altitude, before gazing back towards where her Valkyrie had crash-landed. Just two more runes to go... a bead of sweat rolled down the corporate heiress' temple as the aeromancer launched a trio of air darts - blunt at the tip, clearly attempting to disrupt her spell as they streaked towards the corporate heiress as they skimmed along the ground. Either way, it was a lose-lose situation for Selene. She could attempt to dodge, but that would abort the spell and her efforts to this point would be in vain. Or she could take the projectiles head-on, and attempt to focus through the pain.

Or as Jen would put it based on DnD rules, make a concentration check.

Selene stifled a cry of pain as Chizu's wind darts struck her in the right shoulder, left arm and right leg, causing her to double over and slump down onto her side. Groaning, the corporate heiress lifted her head to gaze at the aeromancer, forcing a pained smile on her face as she brought her right hand up with effort, inching towards the half-completed rune in the circle and scribing the final stroke, the circle glowing brighter as it flared to life, an intricate magic circle expanding outwards from the circle of runes as the spell took effect, a translucent dome of blue-white light enclosing the perimeter of the circle with the corporate heiress at its center.



The Valkyrie brought her legs up, bending her knees and bringing them close to her chest before kicking out with both legs, using the momentum to spring back onto her feet, pulling her claymore out of the ground before straightening herself. Wordlessly, the Valkyrie reached for her offhand blade at her hip, drawing the broadsword-sized weapon from its scabbard. With two swords in hand, the Valkyrie first stood with her feet close together and her arms spread out straight on either side, before spinning around and flourishing her twin blades, ending in a fighting stance with her claymore held straight up and her broadsword crossed horizontally over the claymore's flat edge, forming a cross with her two swords as the Valkyrie faced off against Chizu.

Meanwhile, Selene raised herself into a half-kneeling position, breathing heavily. For now, she was protected behind her magical shield, leaving Chizu with only two choices - attempt to break through the barrier to get at the summoner, or defeat the Valkyrie one-on-one...

The darts hit, but they didn't cause enough damage to stop the casting of the spell. Chizu pulled up sharply as a dome of light erupted around Selene, enclosing the summoner in a magical barrier before the aeromancer could reach her. Chizu hovered in the air about a foot off the ground, staring at the barrier. Her darts had done some damage, but not enough. Selene was still standing and capable of casting spells. In order to get to her again, she would have to break through the barrier, but that wouldn't be an easy task with an armored summon breathing down her neck.

"Keh." Chizu turned away from Selene, floating gently onto the ground as she faced the Valkyrie. The summon drew a second blade, holding it in her offhand as she faced Chizu as well.

Chizu tilted her head, sizing up her opponent. The Valkyrie was strong, faster than she looked, and well armored. Battling her in head to head combat wouldn't be easy, but the task of breaking through Selene's barrier would require her full attention, and like most reasonable people, Chizu wasn't a fan of devoting her full attention to a task when an armored battle-maiden was hellbent on beating her to a pulp.

There was another thing to be aware of, as well. Power usage. Selene had only used her abilities twice, once to summon the Valkyrie and a second time to cast the spell, whereas for Chizu, the clock was constantly ticking. So she would have to defeat or disable the Valkyrie, and she would have to do it fast, before time ran out.

It was a good thing she enjoyed challenges.

"Sorry, Selene," she said, her lips turning up in a smirk as the wind picked up around her, her eyes shaded underneath her hair. Chizu flexed her fingers, calling the wind to her. "But I've got a date for the final match, so I can't lose now." The wind swirled around her arms, flooding into the gaps between her fingers. Twin whirlwinds encircled her arms, forming bladed edges and mimicking the Valkyrie's swords. Two more encircled her legs, the remainder twisting around her body and providing some form of defense.

Chizu kicked off the ground, charging towards the summon. She moved her arms quickly and slashed at her twice, one after the other.

"Sorry, Selene," Chizu remarked, and the corporate heiress knew what she meant, having seen the tournament bracket. "But I've got a date for the final match, so I can't lose now." The aeromancer was clearly looking forward to being able to face Nickle in the finals, and wasn't about to be stopped by the summoner. Although knowing this, Selene knew that it would be quite the major letdown if she doesn't do her best herself too. She wasn't about to just give the aeromancer a free pass to the next round.

"You're going to have to do your best to get there, just as I am doing my best," Selene commented as she gradually steadied herself, catching her breath as she recovered from the earlier hit, watching as Chizu gathered wind from all around - swirling around her arms, filling in gaps between her fingers. A pair of whirlwinds encircled her arms, shaping into a pair of blades, mimicking the Valkyrie's twin swords while the rest of the air compressed around her body in a makeshift shield.

And the fight resumed, as Chizu made the first move - the aeromancer kicking off from the ground and making the first move towards the Valkyrie, making two swings in rapid succession, one slash after another. Raising her twin swords, the Valkyrie parried the first swing from the aeromancer by catching it along the flat edge of her claymore, before blocking the next swing against her broadsword, reeling backwards from the force of the aeromancer's strikes, before using the momentum to propel herself backwards, transitioning into a backflip to put some distance between herself and Chizu.

With her arms spread straight out and legs spaced apart at shoulder width, the Valkyrie lowered her head and closed her eyes as a small golden spell circle appeared beneath the armored maiden's feet, glowing with a golden aura, the Valkyrie rushed forward in a burst of enhanced speed, appearing to 'teleport' right towards Chizu as the warrior maiden's eyes opened, swinging her blades together to make a pincer strike at the aeromancer, looking to catch her in either side with the flat edges of both swords at the same time!

Chizu pushed forward as she felt the force of her strikes pushing the Valkyrie back, landing on the ground as the summon did a backflip to put distance between the two of them. Golden light surrounded the Valkyrie, and in an instant, the summon went from being several feet away from her, to being right in front of her. The aeromancer's eyes flashed from one sword to another, taking in their positions and the direction they were moving in. It was clear that the Valkyrie planned to trap her, hitting her from both sides at once.

Chizu moved quickly, drawing on her own enhanced speed to push off from the ground, the Valkyrie's blades crossing just beneath her where she should have been. She twisted around, sending a wind-fueled kick straight at the Valkyrie's head. The move cost her an extra power use, but it she intended to make the most of extra time it bought her. Chizu drew power from the air around her, twisting it into a column of air that she shot at the Valkyrie, aiming for the summon's torso.

The Valkyrie struck nothing but thin air as Chizu flew off the ground, the armored maiden's twin swords scraping against each other in a shower of sparks. Instinctively, the Valkyrie lifted her head to see where her opponent had gone, only to catch a brief glimpse of the aeromancer's foot coming straight towards her head. A sound of metal being struck hard rang out through the woods as the compressed air exploded outwards on impact, the sheer force of Chizu's kick knocking the Valkyrie off her feet, flipping around in midair before hitting the ground with a crash, with the armored maiden's twin swords landing on either side of her, just out of arm's reach.

A worried expression crossed Selene's face as she watched her Valkyrie go down - Chizu had afterall nailed the warrior in her least armored part of the body - and for all intents and purposes it was a direct, unguarded hit. Rolling over to where her claymore landed, the Valkyrie grabbed hold of the handle of her massive sword - the blade having sunk halfway into the ground upon landing tip-first - pulling herself back to her feet. Breathing heavily, the Valkyrie pulled her claymore out of the ground, looking up at Chizu with a trickle of blood running down the left temple, with her left-eye half-closed at the side of the head where the aeromancer's kick had struck.

"Valkyrie, defend!" Selene called out as Chizu gathered the winds around her, before projecting a column of air that was aimed straight for the armored maiden's torso! Clenching her teeth, the Valkyrie brought her claymore up while pressing her free hand against the sword's flat edge as she took the blast head on, catching it against the flat edge of her claymore in a defensive stance, using her weapon as a makeshift shield while standing with her feet spaced wide apart and heels dug in, in a pose that offered stability as the Valkyrie was pushed back a good deal. "Now!" the corporate heiress exclaimed as soon as the blast stopped.

The Valkyrie wasted no time in mounting a counterattack as the armored maiden turned around the waist with her claymore gripped in both hands, feeling the tension in her abdominal muscles as she made a brief sprint - her claymore glowing as a ring of hologram-like runes orbited the blade - before performing a half-spin and a shout as she swung her claymore in a wide arc, projecting a fan-shaped wave of concussive energy at the aeromancer!

Chizu's eyes widened as the Valkyrie's counterattack sped towards her, coming straight out of the aftermath of her own attack, before Chizu had even fully touched ground yet. Her speed was considerable, but she usually needed something solid beneath her feet to fully make use of it. Running was next to impossible when one was airborne, and all the quick movements in the world wouldn't do much if they didn't move her out of the path of the blast coming towards her.

She quickly took a deep breath and swung her arms downward, pushing and compressing the air underneath her in an attempt to launch herself over the blast. It worked, but not well enough--the Valkyrie's blast catching her in the side and sending her tumbling through the air end over end.

Chizu landed on the ground several feet away from the point of impact, her eyes narrowing for a moment as she raised her hand as soon as she touched down, shooting two separate blasts of air at the summon that came at her from different directions. Chizu let out a grunt of pain and slumped forward slightly once the blasts left her hand, wrapping her right arm firmly around her torso for a moment as she stared at the Valkyrie. It looked like Selene's attack had managed to do some damage this time around.

It certainly didn't come to Selene as a surprise that Chizu managed to evade the brunt of the Valkyrie's blast wave attack, although she was certain that her summon had managed to at least graze the aeromancer as the silver-haired girl was sent tumbling in midair, landing several feet away from the point of impact, raising her hands as soon as her feet touched the ground and firing off a pair of wind blasts, each coming from a separate direction. Although as soon as Chizu had fired her attacks the corporate heiress noticed the aeromancer grunt in pain and lean forward, clutching at her side.

So she didn't quite get through being grazed by the Valkyrie's move completely unscathed, Selene thought. Although the Valkyrie wasn't quite in tip-top condition either; a golden spell circle appearing once more beneath the armored maiden's feet as she cast her speed boost, a golden aura surrounding her as the Valkyrie responded with an unearthly swiftness, the spell boosting her already inhuman speed and reaction timing as the Valkyrie's legs tensed up, before jumping high above the tree tops in a single bound, avoiding the aeromancer's incoming blasts by taking to the air.

Meanwhile however, while Chizu's attention was focused on the Valkyrie the corporate heiress had dispelled her shield as she stalked towards the aeromancer stealthily. One thing Selene figured that Chizu hadn't known was that the corporate heiress was far from a squishy wizard - and with her attention turned to her summon, it was a good chance to get her best shot in. And when the corporate heiress was but several paces away she would break into a charge, throwing herself towards the aeromancer as she pivoted around the waist with her left fist cocked back. "I say, you forgot someone!" Selene commented as she swung her upper body around before pitching her body forward, putting all her mass into a big left straight aimed at the face!

"Tch." Chizu scowled, watching as the Valkyrie avoided her attacks by taking to the air, clearing the tops of the trees easily. She unwound her hand from around her waist, hissing in pain but managing to stay upright as the air coiled around her fist. There was a sharp pain in her right side that was making it difficult to breathe, and the aeromancer worried for one moment that she might have cracked a rib. There was no point in worrying about it now, though. She would have time for that after the fight, although if it was true, the pain would limit her mobility. She grit her teeth, drawing her hand back as she targeted the Valkyrie.

"I say, you forgot someone!"

Chizu's eyes widened at the sound of the voice. She whipped around, swinging her arm outwards and pushing Selene's arm to the right as she ducked underneath the other girl's punch. The sneak attack would probably have worked if Selene hadn't announced her presence beforehand, but Chizu's reflexes were many times faster than a normal human's. She drew back her free hand, ignoring the stinging pain in her side as she gathered the wind towards it and pushed it at the other girl's middle--a wind-fueled open hand strike.
