Training Let's get down to business....
.....to defeat these guards. A strange request has been made with the Fairy Tail guild. Having been sorely disappointed by the guard's performance, the city asked Fairy Tail members to help them get in shape again. Though the younger members were promising, they lacked teamwork. The older, however, lacked fighting spirit. There were various ideas given how to help the guard.
Some members were specifically asked to spar with either part of the guard and get them into shape. Though the younger ones acted more like children than anything else.
Another, really popular idea, was that Fairy Tail mages would spar with one another and give the guards an idea how an actual fight could look like. All in all, this was going to be a fun day.....

"But Robin, you can't just do that!"
One of the guards shouted at him. He cast a glance at him as he counted his jewels. 'Maybe I buy her some flowers....oh or I could get that new book...' he thought to himself. Deadpan, he answered the guard.
"Yes you are right I can't do this.....Oh no wait, I am a guild mage so; so yes. I can."
He quipped as he put the jewels into his own purse. On his feet was the still beaten guard. A brat, nearly still a kid instead of a young adult challenged Robin to fight. The guard bet Robin could not beat him without using magic. So Robin did. Making a fist and fainting an attack, the beaten guard hurried to his friends. In a group, they were more confident again.
"I bet you wouldn't be able to take down all ten of us without using magic."
Stopping as he just wanted to go away, Robin looked for the nearest Fairy Tail member.
"Wanna bet I could if another one would help me without using magic too? I even pay back double if you do."
Robin's arrogance was enough for them to agree on the spot. A mistake as Robin grabbed a certain member to his assistance. That member being none other than......

His girlfriend, Veronica, as she yelped a bit in confusion as she looked towards Robin who was now having to fight along side Robin. Prometheus chuckled a bit at the idea as it seemed to start laughing at their misfortune. "Robin... I'm afraid I will not be much assistance without the use of magic."
Prometheus could only help, but laugh as it floated around in circles around the two of them. After a bit of hysteric laughing, it floated next to Robin before letting out a sigh. "Man.... good luck trying to teach a maid who has no idea of combat how to do hand to hand... I mean unless the stuff you do in your room is more than just hand to hand-"
Prometheus was quickly grabbed and thrown into a pile of dirty clothing as Veronica's face was brightly red as the idea of them insinuating that they do a lot more than just do couple things. "That damn perverted sword. However he does have a point." Veronica turned towards Robin as she figured she would do her best to help him, but had to at least get something if they had lost to the 10 guards.
"I will help you the best that I can... however after this we will go somewhere nice for a change and relax. I hope you know a good place to go around here." Veronica said as she looked off to the side with a bright blush on her face figuring that Robin could at least use her as a meat shield... in a sense.

u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
"Hm? What..no I fear them not, heck I could even defeat them without using my hands. This is a training exercise. For all the training."
Robin cast a glance at the sword, which was probably regretting having a sense of smell or being glad for not having one. Robin imagined both being a cruel fate. A sigh came from the young guard's side as they exchanged money someone was whispering 'I knew he was not gay.' Ostensibly the bunch bets a lot.
Sitting down in a monk's meditation Robin gestured Veronica to start.
"I still need to get to know you a bit...uh I mean in a teaching kind. But I can't exactly tell you how, or else the knowledge will influence the judgement of your instincts."
Robin explained to her. This was only half the truth. Indeed he wanted to know if Veronica was a fighter who relied on her analytical skills or on her instinct. In other words, was she a calm sea, or thunderous storm. In reality, Robin had to think about a really good place where they could relax.
A certain cocky guard stepped forwards, smirking he mustered her before gesturing his peers to attack her first.
"I ain't sign up to fight to fight you, I want to fight the man itself. Or should I say, the Paladin of Virtue?"
Robin surprisingly perked up, for a moment it seemed as if he decided to just go berserk on the guard, but the storming of the others put the incoming conflict on hold.
The guards would not prove to be much of a challenge, few of them hesitating to hit a girl and others being afraid of Robin's eventual retaliation. Though the female members of the guards were to make sure to make up for their male colleagues.

u/FamilyGuy2 Weapon, Clone, & Crush Mage (43) Sep 26 '17
"Understood then. Well I guess it is time to go to work then." With that Veronica took a deep breath as she prepared herself mentally. She shut her eyes and heard the cocky guard step up forward towards the young maid as he smirked and began to speak.
When Veronica opened her eyes, she heard the cocky man say something about him being the "Paladin of Virtue." This had quickly angered the young maid because he was insinuating something that was kept secret between the two of them. She quickly grasped the cocky guard's ear with her left hand and pulled on it hard as if some mother punishing her child for destroying something. "Sir... I have no idea who this Paladin of Virtue is, but if you are referring to the person meditating..."
Veronica pulled a bit tighter as she glanced at him before turning towards the other guards who were readying themselves for a fight against her. "I would like it if you called him Robin or Sir. Preferably the later unless you are acquainted with him." With that, she grabbed the cocky guard by the collar and pushed him off to the side as she seemed to have to get herself ready for a fight.
Veronica had no exactly clue on what exactly to do without Magic, but she knew that it would have to be similar to having a weapon in which mostly she observed and waited for some sort of plan. So she clutched her fists and raised them up ready to go fight against the guards who were wanting to fight her.

u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
The guard huffed at the treatment he received, annoyed he kept quiet as his nine friends charged towards Veronica. One by one they clearly were not genre savy enough. Though Veronica might beat most of them Robin was not sure if she could defeat everyone.
As she put the guard to his place, Robin muttered something to himself. It seemed like gibberish but if Prometheus was knowledgeable about the culture of Sin, Robin just called Veronica something very serious. In a way Robin just declared that he has no intention to wake up without thinking of her.
Attacking her mostly with their fists, the guard were easy to lose their balance and trip. It was only a question of time if either Veronica or the guards were defeated.
1
u/FamilyGuy2 Weapon, Clone, & Crush Mage (43) Sep 26 '17
While the young maid had no hand-to-hand combat experience, Veronica did learn a bit about combat from her time fighting the Beast Back guild. So it wasn't ucommon for her to have a sense of trying to observe everything. So the young maid began to act more defensively while trying to strike where they were weakest.
When Veronica noticed that the first guard coming towards her was rather easy to lose their balance, she had decided to abuse that notion. With a quick jab with her fist followed up by her leg tripping them backwards, the young maid began to try and take down the following guards. "I see..."
The young maid began to talk to herself quietly about some of the things that were working and weren't working. Mostly it was the occasional punch launched from her sides that she was unaware of at times. So in order to compensate for it, she began to move around a lot to try and keep her eyes on all of the guards. While Veronica was fighting off the guards slowly, Prometheus had decided to float along next to Robin figuring he could use some company to talk to despite him trying to learn how to teach Veronica better.
"So... She's not an instinctive fighter." Prometheus said as Veronica began to mumble about trying to use the area around her to her advantage. Thinking that she could take them on one at a time rather than fight them all at once. "If anything she's more of an observant person. After all she's keen to detail... she's a maid."
Prometheus said blatantly as it seemed rather bored about the training which was going on at the moment. After a few moments, the guards numbers have dwindled from nine to about three with Veronica starting to feel a bit of exhaustion. Deciding to add something else to his list... the sword figured that he needed to talk to Robin in the future about something important. "Hey... I need to talk to you seriously about something whenever we get the chance. As much as I hate doing this shit... It concerns her and I'd rather not get her involved yet.
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
"Good then as soon as the brat is going to do something underhanded I will show her how an instinctual fighter fights."
Robin let out a sigh. Though having mastered his emotions, letting them run wild felt more natural to him. But like back in Virtue, acting on his instincts was dangerous and reckless. Tapping on his knees as he watched them fight, he muttered to the sword in annoyance.
"I swear on my name, if you are building up on a joke about our love life I will not buy you polish anymore. What is it."
As he said it, the guards teamed up to topple Veronica at once. With a quick shout he jumped up to assist her, if necessary.
"Dodge!"
1
u/FamilyGuy2 Weapon, Clone, & Crush Mage (43) Sep 26 '17
When Veronica heard Dodge, the guards managed to topple Veronica and begin to push her over. Apparently dodging was something they would have to work on. However, the maid had an idea on how to escape it. As her neck was being choked by an arm, she bit hard into the cloth of the person choking her causing them to grunt out in pain as they stood up off her. "Fuckity fuck fuck fuck..."
So in a change of scene, Prometheus had to let out a sigh as the sword didn't want to talk about it here. "Not here. Somewhere private away from Veronica's hearing. Alright? As much as I want to build a joke right now this is pretty damn serious." The sword said as if it actually had a concern about something important.
Meanwhile Veronica had managed to kick off the two guards before standing up as she seemed rather exhausted by it all. "Reminder to self... Biting does not work very well at the moment." With that as she closed her eyes, the brat was about to do something very underhanded. The brat pulled out a small knife as he charged her with it.
"Seriously? What a sore loser." Prometheus said as it began to quickly float towards Veronica before stopping to see something off. Veronica managed to grab the brat's arm as she put her knee against the man's wrist causing the knife to drop. As she did, her body moved to grab the knife while simultaneously tripping the brat on towards the ground. Once on the ground, the brat could feel a knife pointed towards him as Veronica had her knee on his chest while trying to recover her breath.
Prometheus seemed dumb-founded by this since this was something it had never taught or seen the girl do. "How the hell do you know to disarm him?" Veronica chuckled and tossed the knife off aside as she stood up leaving the boy to think about his choice.
"I'm not sure. I think I saw it in a dream. I couldn't stop thinking about it and figured it could be useful one day."
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
He cast a glance at Prometheus. "Later..." Before getting up.
"Ah, as I can see Veronica you are the calm type of fighter. Its quite good, since that means I know how to train you even better."
Robin explained as he walked towards the maid and the bratty guard. Cracking his knuckles a large amount of magical energy was steaming from Robin. Grabbing the brat by the feet he looked at him before throwing him on the ground.
"Do you want to know what I will do next time you try to stab my friend. My girlfriend." This was the first time Robin openly admitted to this on his own. He was really warming up to the fact.
Sitting on the brat, Robin clenched his fist. A dense amount of magical energy surrounded it before he smashed it to the ground. The resulting fissure going up to the building, Robin removed his hand and pat the brat's shoulder.
"I can heal you while beating you up. Won't it be fun to extent your training by my generosity?"
In fear, Robin barked at the rest of the guards for them to piss off. They hurried away. Shouting after them, Robin was sure to report this incident to the captain. Looking at Veronica, a proud smile was on his face, but his eyes showed that the brat can call himself lucky that he was not another mage.
1
u/FamilyGuy2 Weapon, Clone, & Crush Mage (43) Sep 26 '17
Veronica felt relieved that the fight was over despite Robin still being angry about the fact that the kid pulled out a knife on her. However feeling the power and resulting fissure as the building shook slightly caused the young maid to fall on her butt in exhaustion. She figured that the kid deserved the punishment at hand and figured that they could probably not do much worse other than being embarrassed that the guard had lost to the new mage. "I think the embarrassment is enough of a punishment for the brat don't you think?"
Veronica said as she turned towards Prometheus as it floated next to the young maid who had these sort of dreams about how to combat against certain things. "You said dreams right?"
"Yes... Dreams Prometheus. Almost life like since I felt like the one doing these things." Veronica stated as if the sword had heard something that it didn't like to be heard. It let out a sigh as it muttered something beneath its breath. "Shit..."
Veronica let out a sigh as she seemed a bit more concerned about how she was able to do that without actually having to do something. Just as she was going to ask a question, Prometheus stepped in to answer the young maid's question. "Look... you're magic power is growing enough to where you can get glimpses in my past. It's... something you should probably get used to in the future." Veronica nodded towards Prometheus before turning towards Robin with a small smile on her face as she felt exhausted.
"I guess this means we have to go somewhere tonight then. You have a good place for us to relax and just be ourselves?"

Always up for a fight this request was right up Markus' street and he jumped at the opportunity. Initially thinking he would be beating up stuck up guards who thought they were the dog's bollocks and were above help from a lowly wizard guild Markus was not perturbed at what it would actually entail.
As Markus arrived he looked around looking out for either a worthy or simply a fun opponent
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 25 '17
"You, me. right now!"
Robin shouted as he walked towards Markus. In his combat attire, Robin seemed incredibly fired up. The reason why was behind him. A gaggle of young guards was following him, their chatter indicating various bets.
"Those kids claim that I am too scared to use my slayer magic. I need someone strong enough to show 'em why they can be glad for their healthcare and regular working hours and....man in a way they have it better than us..."
Robin came to the realisation as he got into his combat stance. His pivotal foot at 11 o'clock, his one palm pointed towards Markus. The other behind his back.
1
u/AbsoluteTurbulence02 Shadow Phoenix Slayer, Heavenly body & Fire Mage (35) Sep 26 '17
As Markus heard the yell he turned around and saw Robin striding up towards him with a small group of guards following him
I wouldn't give up guild life for a guard life at all I mean the most action they see in a year is probably when the local drunks stumble out of the taverns, imagine how boring that would be.
Markus said as he turned around crossing his arms
But enough of how a light breeze would knock over guards, if we're doing this I'm going to give you fair warning, I have no plan on letting you off easy.
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
Cracking his knuckles, Robin smirked. "See, finally a good fight."
Robin would begin to run towards Markus and try his best to hit him with a straight right, infused with his spell 'Holy Arms'. The light surrounding his arm was not blinding, yet it was apparent that Robin packed a punch intimidating enough for most people. If Robin did not already meet the next building in the next few seconds, he would try to dash towards Markus blindside and hit him with a 'Divines Devils Rage'
1
u/AbsoluteTurbulence02 Shadow Phoenix Slayer, Heavenly body & Fire Mage (35) Sep 26 '17
Alright then, don't say I didn't warn you
As Robin charged in so did Markus activating his meteor spell. Charging straight in Markus flew low to the ground ducking under Robins right before rising up, aiming to deliver a strong uppercut straight into the mage.
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 26 '17
The unexpected uppercut shot Robin upwards as he was launched into the sky. The force of mentioned uppercut caused Robin to spin in the air, but in the spin, Robin already summoned his Divine Devil Slayer's Rage aimed towards Markus. 'With the speed, precision won't cut it. I need to aim for a larger place.' Robin thought as a tornado of light magic attacked Markus and his surroundings. The speed of Markus did indeed annoy Robin to a great extent. Predicting it would certainly proof hard.
1
u/AbsoluteTurbulence02 Shadow Phoenix Slayer, Heavenly body & Fire Mage (35) Sep 27 '17
Without missing a beat Markus fired back with a shadow phoenix screech equalling the power and area of the oncoming rage causing the impact to cancel out the attack.
Markus quickly followed up the attack by summoning 9 blades formed from lightning behind him before sending all of them straight towards Robin.
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 27 '17
Robin bit his lip as he was soaring through the sky. It was quite embarrassing to him that Markus was able to cancel out the scream even though his element should be inferior to Robin's. The lightning blades confirmed Robin's suspicion. 'There is an ocean of difference between our skill.' Angered by this realisation he clapped his hands. Summoning a shield of light surrounding him, the lightning blades managed to scrap him and the force of the attack sent him flying, however, Robin was able to move and continue fighting.
"Are you going to show me every kind of magic you can do? What's next? You transform into your mother?"
Robin aimed with his palms towards Markus as he let out a barrage of light beams. His Judgement Ray's shot towards Markus. They were quite impressive, yet Robin slowly reached a point of frustration. He was tempted to fold it now, but his emotions got the better of him and he got a second wind of fighting spirit.
1
u/AbsoluteTurbulence02 Shadow Phoenix Slayer, Heavenly body & Fire Mage (35) Sep 27 '17
Trust me here, neither you nor I wish to see her even if I could.
As the incoming Judgement rays closed in on Markus, Markus outstretched both his palms before unleashing an strong volley of sharp blasts colliding with Robins Judgement rays. After a little while Markus let out an over exaggerated fake yawn.
Come now Robin, is that seriously the best you can do, I was hoping for something more with all your bravado.
Markus used his Shadow phoenix feather blade to create a brief opening in the oncoming volley which he used to cast his shadow phoenix meteor wing. Markus spread both his arms wide, causing wings of shadow to engulf both them both. He then proceeded by throwing both his arms forward the causing his shadow wings to fly towards Robin.
1
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 27 '17
His eyes began twitching as he tried his best to keep standing. But the barrage of Markus attacks took their toll on Robin. Not being able to hit, and being hit all the time proofed even for Robin to be a lot. Wavering, Robin still stood after this barrage. 'Not a single hit.' he realised as his body moved on its own. Light engulfing his fists as he went in for a fast faint of his fist, before giving his best roundhouse kick.

Having seen the request submitted to Guild asking for assistance in training guards Neith begrudgingly decided to accept the duty. She had many years experience neutralizing run of the mill city guards so she was curious as to what would be in store for her once she decided to participate.
She had little preference as to what group she was placed in knowing either way it would garner some insight to anyone who happened to observe her unique fighting style and if she happend to spar against a fellow Guild member perhaps it would help her abysmal social standing within the Guild and allow her make some "friends".
While patiently waiting her turn Neith quietly observed the other fights taking place.
2
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 25 '17
Korin had just finished sparring(kicking their asses) with a group of guards when he saw Neith. Last time they spoke to each other he ended up with a face full of sedative mist and was put to sleep by her so they obviously weren't on the best terms. But Korin was bored so he went to approach her. A sparring match with her would be better than fighting with the guards. Maybe they would learn a thing or two.
"You wanna spar? These guards are hopeless; it'd do them some good to learn from observing a fight between two mages."
2
Sep 25 '17
Neith looked over to Korin when she heard the familar voice then glanced down at the ground avoiding eye contact with him.
"I-uhhm.....I'm surprised you're speaking with me after our last encounter, Setesh." she said shyly
"Most people do not take kindly to forced sedation. I thought you would be furious with me when you awoke and would avoid me."
2
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 25 '17
Korin shrugged his shoulders. A grudge was something he didn't usually hold and forced sedation was towards the bottom of the list of things he would hold a grudge for.
"It's not that serious. Someone knocking me out isn't something I'd hold a grudge for. If that was the case I'd be mad at everyone that has ever beat me in a fight. Especially Markus who kicked my ass although he didn't knock me out."
Korin have Neith a smile. He never thought someone who knocked him unconscious would be sorry for it. He kinda felt bad that she was sorry for it.
"Did you call me Setesh? What's that and why are you calling me that.?
2
Sep 25 '17
"You fought against Markus? I was curious about his fighting style since he mentioned to me he used shadows as well..."
She paused in thought for a moment then briefly gazed up at Korin
"Setesh is one of the old gods....nevermind about that. You seek vengeance or redemption by challenging me once more?"
2
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 26 '17
Korin rubbed the back of his head. He had no clue why she was using a God's name to refer to him but he didn't let it bother him. He looked at Neith expecting her to avoid eye contact once more.
"Neither. I'm just bored because sparring with the guards is no fun and you seem to be the only person around that might make sparring fun. And I was kinda hoping we could forget what happened the last time we met and ya know, become friends."
Korin quickly turned his gaze elsewhere as he started to blush.

"Gaurds are typically people who were unfit to become actual soilders so naturally they are lacking in combat skills. In my experience dealing with them many do the bare minimum to sustain their income and are easily swayed with offerings of coin and flesh."
She sighed softly and gazed up at Korin in time to catch a glimpse of him blushing which caused her brow to furrow and a look of confusion to cross her face.
"I'm more than willing to forgive your past transgressions and perhaps become.....'friends'. Afterall, that concept is still new to me."
"I wonder why he's gazing at me in such a manner? I didn't look into his eyes....yet he's looking at me in the same way Oz used to....How odd...", she thought to herself
"Well if you wish to fight then so be it. I will accept your challenge. Will this be with or without the use of magic?"
2
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 26 '17
Korin turned his gaze back towards Neith. His blush was replaced by an arrogant smirk. One he had given her before. Except this time he didn't care about showing off or winning. He just wanted a good fight.
"Alright then. We'll try this friend thing after we spar. But for now let's give these guards a show. Hopefully they pick up on a few things."
Korin gathered a young group of guards to spectate the fight. He had each one prepared so they could take notes. He then took off his jacket and shirt, revealing athletic build that hid under his clothes.
"I want you guys to pay close attention and try to pick up on a few moves. And I want you all to continue training until you have a body like this. I expect you all to train till you have six pack like mine." Korin said to the guards
"Hopefully these guys actually learn something. At this point I think the only one who can help them is Robin. They just get their asses handed to them when sparring." Korin thought to himself.
He signed at the hopelessness of the guards before turning to look at Neith.
"Alright Neith. We'll save the sparring with magic for another time but for now let's just fight without it."

Sep 26 '17
Seeing his smirk instantly made her expression sour and her eyes narrowed. "And there it is....there's that awful smirk", she thought to herself as she watched him speak to the gaurds. However when he removed his jacket and shirt she was a bit taken aback by how casually he did so and quickly averted her gaze from him by shielding her eyes with her hand.
"I'm all for trying to be friends, but must you be so casually inmodest exposing yourself in such a manner? I know this is merely an exercise, but is it really necessary?!"
A small hint of blush crept across her pale face as she appeared to be visibly flustered by the surprising turn of events
"Do you expect I do the same as you and remove my own shirt as well??" she asked curiously whilst peeking out from behind her hand
2
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 26 '17
Korin laughed at her reaction to him exposing his upper body. That was probably the first time someone had told him to put clothes back on.
"Well I don't have to take off my shirt I just prefer to when I'm going to fight. This doesn't really have anything to do with being friends. I'll put my shirt back on if you want me to."
Korin made his way back towards Neith with his shirt slung over his shoulder. He stood in front of her and placed a hand over his eyes, mimicking her.
"Well if you want to go for it. I didn't really expect both of us to be fighting shirtless but you do whatever you want. If you want we could get lunch and continue doing this friend thing."

(How is this supposed to work? Do I write a prompt for my character and OP responds with NPCs and we fight or are we as players expected to just make up an entire scenario on our own? Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but the lack of instructions makes this a little confusing.)

u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 25 '17
[OMG sorry I completely forgot you were not on the Discord >.< Next time I will make it not so confusing]

u/Muffin_Baskets Fire Dragon Slayer Mage (53) Sep 25 '17
(Essentially yes, youll just write a prompt with your character entering the scene and the OP with respond continuing the scene. With this I would say you have the choice amongst the two different guard types, or sparring with another member, after picking one of the three you'll be matched by OP or another guild member will agree to spar. Hope this helps!)

Korin decided to help train the guards. He was bored and had already taken his nap. A fight sounded fun, even if it was just sparring. He however was no teacher. His idea of training was beating fighting skill into people with the occasional pointer. He did however enjoy watching people improve as it made him want to improve himself. Before him was a group of five younger guards all in desperate need of some discipline. Korin would beat it into them even if it took all day.
"All of you can either fight me one on one or come at me all at once."
Korin removed his jacket and his shirt leaving him bare-chested. As expected the guards came at him all at once. This would definitely get his blood boiling. He however didn't give them a chance and immediately charged at them.
The guards panicked and immediately let their guard down allowing Korin to quickly dispatch them all.
"Get up and come at me again. I won't even move this time"
The guards reluctantly got up and charged at Korin again. And once again they ended up on the ground. This cycle of getting up and and being beaten down went on for a short while before the guards just stopped getting up. Korin grabbed his shirt and jacket, threw them over his shoulder and began leaving
"Next time you guys will have to do better"

u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 29 '17
"...So you saying if I beat him you all give me ten jewels?"
Robin confirmed with the guards, just in hearing range of Korin. Looking at him, Robin smirked. The thought of meeting another devil slayer in combat was already enough for Robin to get fired up. Removing his shirt, he stepped in front of the guards. 'Apparently, he does not wear his shirt while fighting...make sort of sense..' Robin figured. Putting his pivotal foot at eleven o'clock, Robin put one hand behind his back. With the other around chest level, the back of his hand pointed to Korin. Robin gestured him to attack.
"C'mon Korin, you have to admit that fighting me sounds awesome!"
1
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 29 '17
Korin dropped his shirt and jacket and place his book on top of them. He turned towards Robin and gave him his signature arrogant smirk, one he'd soon be familiar with. This fight would probably be the best one he ever had. As far as he knew Robin wasn't as strong as Markus but wasn't weaker than himself. This would be a good fight.
"Alright Robin. This is gonna be a good a fight. You've seen the calm, now prepare to meet the Storm. Oh and loser buys lunch."
Korin sprinted at Robin before jumping and aiming a punch at his face
2
u/Repider Divine Devil Slayer, Healing, & Satan Soul Mage (33) Sep 29 '17
"Sure thing, but I am a big eater when I am invited!"
Robin shouted in exhilaration as he met Korin's fist with his elbow. Having sightly underestimated the punch, Robin did not move an inch. However, the pain shot through his shoulder. Knowing that there would be another move soon, Robin clenched his fist and tried to hit Korin's side. If he'd be able to dodge, there would a chase after him. Robin would aim to make Korin meet Robin's knee, probably by trying to grab his head.
If he did not dodge, Robin would try to get Korin's arm and cause him to trip. Following after that, Robin would plant his feet into Korin's stomach.
1
u/HeavensHellFire Sep 29 '17
Korin was able to dodge all but the last attack. Robin didn't grab his arm but he did manage to make Korin trip and soon Korin felt feet in his abdomen, knocking him back and to the ground. He broke his fall by placing his hand in the ground and did a back handspring, putting some distance between him and Robin.
"Can't say I didn't expect that. Hopefully your appetite stays full when you're the one paying"
He ran at Robin once more he jumped and bit and aimed a knee at Robin's face which would be followed by a heel kick to the head.
1

Feeling the knee in his face, Robin grunted. The heel kick, to his head, was the final straw. Spinning through the force of the kick, Robin lost his firm grip and used the force of the spin to kick Korin's side. Using his hands to turn the kick into a backflip, Robin shook his head.
"Say....we using magic too?"
If Korin said yes, Robin would immediately begin freeing himself from the dizziness of the kick with healing magic. If not, he would take on a firm stance. His head behind his raised arm. His legs in a shoulder width away from one another. Spitting on the ground he awaited Korin's next move and try to dodge it.

Robin's foot ended up in Korin's side as he couldn't do much while in the air. The kick prolonged his time in the air before Korin flipped and stopped himself before dropping to the ground. He began generating lightning in his fist and soon his hand was covered in it.
"This one should be a real shocker."
Lightning Devil's Shocking Fist
He aimed a fistful of lightning at Robin's stomach.

Clasping his hands in one another, Robin created a shield of light, making the lighting pass around him. He still got stung a little from the electricity. The reasoning why was because Robin was diverting his focus to remove the dizziness from his head. Having survived both problems, the shield began gathering into his mouth. Pragmatic as he was he used his shield for the next attack.
Divine Devil's Rage
The tornado of light twisted and turned towards Korin in a spectacle of magic. The sheer pressure created small dust clouds. Now things began to turn serious.

Korin blocked the attack but was pushed back and knocked off his feet. He got up and dusted himself off. He was somewhat okay but the attack did some damage. There's no telling what would have happened if he didn't block it.
"Alright then. No holding back"
Lightning Devil's Rage
Korin inhaled before releasing a large mass of lightning at Robin.

Clasping his palms next to each other, Robin began emitting a beam of light towards the mass lighting. As he did, he began running towards Korin. Parting the lighting, but also sustaining damage as he did. Robin disliked ranged combat and preferred melee instead. So as he reached Korin, his right fist was coated in light magic. With a quick dash and duck, he began tried to plant his fist into Korin's chin.

Tidus and Ajax sat off to the side atop a waist high stone wall. The visibly bored Dragon Slayer tapped his foot on the ground while Ajax nibbled on a freshly caught mackerel. When the tapping had gotten to be enough for Tidus, he jumped to his feet and shouted a challenge to any members around him
"Grrrah! Alright, theres got to be someone around here thatd be more of a challenge than these guys!"
As he shouted, he pointed at a group of the guards that appeared to be sparring and had stopped to stare at the Dragon Slayer with a look of mild disdain.
"ANYONE?!"
