"You are certainly not wrong, Mr Kynik. I must admit I am curious, though. Which of these suit you?"

Turning to Riley, he giggled slightly. "I suppose so. Mr Kynik's idea of a pincer attack certainly needs speed, but at the same time also one with Endurance to break his combo. In the first place breaking the combo would need two at least, so, who knows?"

Sir Fisch, who had thoroughly defeated the three, sheathed his sword. "Let's take a break for five minutes, shall we? We can decide the next 3 after." With these words, he sat down on a nearby bench.

"Seems like I might be able to find out, rather than hear from you, after all. Mr Kynik, would you like to try? I know someone who could fix you right up." Tien's gaze strayed to the Mages' Field. Just as he had expected, Samton had already finished his golem.

Luna smiled and summoned a cube of water. She quickly directed it towards the golem and happily watched as it drowned. She turned to Cherali. "I guess I'm done. You did well, that was pretty cool."

I have no friends due to the massive hole in my heart. Would you consider being the one to plug up the hole of feeling?

"I only used two hexes, but, truth be told, those spells were passed down to me by my mother. My spell book has all them written down for me, so I don't have to worry about forgetting them." Cherali said, pointing to her motionless spell book on her lap. "It's a ... family relic per say, it means a lot to me." Cherali looked at the book for a few seconds, before returning eye to eye with Luna.

"I wonder what's next to do..." The young mage said, nervous for the next task.

Kynik snickers at the '5th' typing comment Riley had made, amused at its proposal. Well... She wasn't wrong. There are those who just never could grasp how to hold a sword and just insisted on swinging willy nilly, but they usually didn't last very long in a profession that required you to understand how your weapon works.

To answer the question, a variety of fighters is usually best unless you need a specialized team... Though your makeup can determine the effectiveness of the stunts you pull off." The student admitted with a slight wave of his left hand then listened to Tien's words. "Well if you still wish to hear it, I lean towards Endurance. So dodging, blocking, ectera. I specialize in the broadsword, which is slightly smaller than a longsword by maybe a few inches but I can use other blades if I need to." He'd pat the basketed handle of the weapon he carried with him.

His interest was peaked at the mention of someone who could fix his 'problem' and turned to look directly at Tien. "I suppose it couldn't hurt if we could get it done before the next round. I had to make it quick at the infirmary and was still nearly late to this morning's class so they couldn't do much beyond bandage it." He'd start to prop himself up on one knee preparing to stand with the next sentence. "I brought it back and ended up leaving it at the shrine but I got sidelined by a Puma looking beast some sort of magic to shift its form into a shadow so I've got a couple claw marks. Didn't have time to change my shirt and threw on a new jacket so I'm sure you'll see what I mean when I start peeling fabric."

He laughs slightly, brushing himself off in the process. "I will admit, I really wasn't feeling too good until lunch but I'm glad I didn't end up its breakfast. It bit off just a little more than it could chew."

Juzi rushed forward and began fighting the golem in front of her, running around, confusing it. She launched an attack before the golem could react back, and muttered a spell under her breath. A circle beam of light spread all around the golem, going into the cracks in its body and making it slowly burn apart.
She continued her tactics of running around the golem, confusing it again, and she slowly watched as more cracks appeared in its body, making it shine brighter and brighter. After adding another few hits here and there, it finally split apart with the compressing pressure, and burst, scattering shining pieces of light around the place where it had gotten defeated. She walked over to her pet fox, picked it up, and muttered, "Sorry for the mess Ezria...Though I promise next time I'll let you help m'kay?" She smiled, picking a spot in the branches of a large tree to sit in as she watched the others fight.

Elliot walked over to a tree on the side where he would be training with fellow knights. He sat down under the branches and closed his eyes, his light blue hair falling before his eyelids. The wind left a cool breeze across his face, making his smile.

"I see. Let me call him over then."

With these words, Tien walked over to the mages field and informed Samton of the situation. Nodding, Samton let Prof. Angler know and left for the knight's field.

"Greetings, Mr Kynik. I heard you were in need of some healing. Where would the problem be?"

The 18 year old would scratch his cheek a smidge as Samton made his inquiry. "I'm not entirely sure how this works but I had my shoulder threaded this morning during the Exam. I suppose you need to see it?" He says pulling off the jacket of his uniform.

It was fairly obvious that this jacket was probably not the same one he wore during the exam because after it came off it was easy to tell from the shredded and stained area of the shirt's sleeve where the problem was. He had nearly been late to class so his stop at the dorm was just to throw on a new jacket to hide the evidence so he hadn't exactly changed the shirt underneath it.

Depending on Samton's reply, if the wound itself needed to be seen, he would take off the ruined shirt and carefully unwrap the bandages so the magic could be applied. Either way he would allow for it it. "I didn't have much time this morning so the nurse wrapped it and told me not to reopen the wound before sending me on my way. I might have had enough time for it if I'd gotten it fixed before breakfast but I was having trouble getting the professor's attention... And then he told us to go eat so... I took my being ignored as not having permission to leave the grounds until we were dismissed to prepare for our first class."

"The timid type to professors, huh? Reminds me of Eline" Samton whispered so only Tien could hear. Eline was Samton' sister, younger than him by three years and two months, and was rather shy when with her royal tutors. Turning to Kynik, Samton smiled. "No, that won't be necessary. I just needed to know where the wound was. Since it has been a while, I would need contact. Through the jacket is fine. Shall I?"

Kynik nods holding out the arm with the wounded deltoid. "It's the right one here at the shoulder. I would have just waited for the end of the day but I get the feeling Tien wanted to group with me in the next round with Sir Fisch. " He chuckles giving the mentioned student a wink. "Would hate to disapoint. My right's my main hand though so even though I can fight with my left, it wouldn't be as effective."

He would allow for Samton to heal him, turning his head to watch curiously as the hands approached.

Samton reached his hands out and placed his right hand on Kynik's shoulder and his left hand on his right. He kept them there for a minute or so, and then removed them. This whole process might have felt electrifying to Kynik. All Samton did was make the blood flow much faster. This would in turn heal quite a wide variety of wounds, at the cost of the energy of the healed one.

After the healing completed, Samton waved his hands, causing light to fall over Kynik. "An energy enhancement spell. Make sure to eat well."

Fingers twitching at this newly applied feeling, Kynik could feel the tingling sensation as the blood rush started temporarily. He let's out a slow breath, each hidden claw mark stitching itself back together to properly mesh as it had before. When the light fell over him, he glanced upwards.

"I'll make sure to eat plenty." He looked back towards the shoulder, clenching a fist while rotating the arm to test it. It seemed to be working well, any lingering stiffness was just from the tightness of the bandages which had not been removed. He grins satisfied and holds out a hand, offering to shake with Samton. "Thank you for your help, I hope I do not disappoint your friend and I will try my best in the upcoming match. I hope we did not take too much of your time."

"It's alright. Do your best!"

As Sir Fisch got up, Tien approached him. "I would like to participate, sir, and so would Kynik."

Fisch nodded. "Anyone else up for it too?"

“May I join as well?” Riley had no confidence that she could beat Sir Fisch by herself so she decided to find a team. Luckily, at that same time, she heard Fisch say that there would be a team fighting and it was Tien and Kynik and that there was still time to join.

Elliot stood up and walked over to some people gathered around a teacher. They looked like they were about to start a round of training. "Hey, could I join?" He asked, smiling as he stood with the others. "I realize it's three people a group, but four wouldn't hurt."

"Now that's the spirit! Sure, four is fine. Get ready." With these words, Sir Fisch withdrew. Surprising nearly everyone, he put his sheathed sword away. He then turned to the armory, opened a locked box and took out an axe with the emblem of the royal knights.

"gulp He's getting serious." Tien muttered.

"Good luck!" Samton grinned as he gave Tien a light smack.

"Prince mage! Why not try it yourself too? You have the training after all." Saying this, Sir Fisch threw Samton a sword. "I feel like giving you little kids a chance."

"If the others are fine with it, don't mind if I do."

A little distance away, Prof. Angler sighed as he kept watching.

Oh... That's... That's not good. Kynik watched as the knight pulled an axe after putting away the sword he had just been using. His careful observations may have little use now for this one... There was a chance... He put a hand up, signaling for the new found group to get closer. "There's a chance his footwork might be different due the weapon change. When we first get into this, focus on dodging. Axes are heavy and they take slightly more time to land but they hurt like the dickens."

He paused, glancing back over at the teacher. "The style of fighting should be similar though despite the weapon change. If you see an opening go for it. Just make sure to pay attention to our group too. If the group moves, move with it. We're bound to end up rotating around him naturally, just don't lose your footing. If you see a break in his pattern, don't be afraid to point it out." The student pulls at the handle of his broad sword, the blade shining as the sun reflected on it. "I'm going to try to keep his attention and break his pattern when I can. Since there's will be 5 of us, let's get a second person focused on pattern break. The other 3 can work to push the break so we can wear him down. Make sure to land your hits successively rather than all at once."

He'd look up again and stand straighter, his stance changing slightly. The blade of his sword lifted to point at the teacher, holding for a few moments. "Sir, today is your lucky day. We plan to put up a good fight, RIGHT GUYS?" He would hope for a chorus in response but composed himself a little lower, his feet spreading in a new posture his sword in position. The side of his mouth raised in excitement. "Let's give it our all."

"In that case, I'll focus on pattern-break too. I'll take the first strike, so, let's observe." Saying this, Samton closed his eyes for a moment. Light magic surrounded everyone, becoming a strength and agility enhancement.

Sir Fisch smirked at Kynik's words. "Are you kids ready? I'll give you guys the first strike, so, don't disappoint me now."

"In that case, I'll gladly accept."

With these words, Samton stepped forward from the rest of the group. He gripped his longsword tightly. He lunged forward, readied his blade to strike, and then didn't. Passing by Sir Fisch, he used his momentum to turn and strike from behind. Sir Fisch had turned around as well, and easily blocked the sword with the body of his axe, causing his sword to bounce back. This was followed by a full 360° rotation, causing Samton to fall backwards. Thus, he had to retreat to regain balance.

"This is unlike his strategy with a sword. BE CAREFUL." Samton shouted as he withdrew.

Kynik stepped to the side eyeing as his group began their assault. Eyes watched Sir Fisch with an intense focus, his peripherals following those moving near him. He runs forward, allowing Samton to take the first swing then stepped in when the other student had taken his fall. He followed the arc of the 360 pattern and slammed down at an inwards angle, which should cause the axe to bob just ever so slightly. Pulling in reverse, the upswing would collide with the other weapon once more, thrusting it upwards with its strength holder's own movement behind it.

The student jumped back away from the Axe's opposite forced movement before it could come down, then thrust inwards, feinting at a jab. He'd be attempting to keep at the edge of the professor's range. While his footwork wasn't up to that of a professional's, one could tell he'd had a lot of practice.

Slight bend, and a thrust. A thrust from the axe was all that was necessary to stop his opponent's attempt.
"Not bad, but don't get ahead of yourself. Were this a true battlefield you'd have died thrice."
As unbelievable as it sounded, both Samton and Tien knew it to be true. A straightforward attack was basically asking to be bounced, which would be followed by a clean swipe of the neck.
Even the thrust just now had hit with tremendous force.

"I'd suggest you stay away when he's rotating. The force is good enough to break your sword in half." Tien shouted.
He jumped forward with a thrust of his own, keeping his sword up and straight. A up-strike from the axe was followed by a kick, causing Tien to fall.

(I really hope you guys weren't waiting on me lol, I was just hoping someone else would jump in too)

Kynik scattered backwards to avoid the thrust, resulting nearly doing the splits with a knee to the ground. He quickly recovered to gain back his footing and twisted to the side, glancing to the other people nearby. While he had wanted the teacher's attention, he had mistaken the curvature of the axe's swing.

He'd run a few feet to the left then spring forward for a feint, quickly jutting back without hitting a mark. The pacing was reversed on the last step backwards, eyes still on the target.
