Venturion Academy

Subject: Venturion Academy Fri Jul 09, 2010 10:12 pm

The steel gate was the only entrance to the academy. It was wide enough to stretch across the entire road that led into its center court, but was fully opened. Once inside the ground, any visitor would see a carefully kept design of proper yard design and plant life. The foliage was delicately placed in key places, usually to articulate the design of the academy log that was at several places on the inner wall. Upon reaching the main entrance to the Venturion Academy, there would be a long slab of white marble with a fountain in the middle of it. A mid height, skinny man with a black suit and glasses was waiting outside. Bowing lightly to the guest, he turns to escort her into the academy. The iron gates would slide shut at the main entrance, completely sealing the facility from the outside. The wide, plat formed stairs would lead to a wall of glass, where sections would slide open. The entrance foyer was a large, open top with a skylight ceiling, which darkened with the oncoming storm. There was a large symbol engraved into the marble flooring, with the old language for “Without sacrifice there can be no victory” . The building was white, with dark green and gold accents. The interior was clean, as the school had yet to be opened.
I sat in my office behind a large wooden desk. The desk was nearly eight feet wide, and four feet deep, with an L section that moved into the wall. That section would disappear, covering a hidden safe where I kept several business orders and important documents. The large monitor on the wall behind me would be turned on with a feed of the twenty two cameras around the campus. Paperwork to transfer a student had been easy, and her dorms had been prepared. As an upper student, she would be given her own dorm room and a special gift from me in the form of a laptop. She would have to attend school regularly, but be given special electives in the form of advanced combat and magic use. I sighed while signing the last paper to send to her old school. It was official; this young lady was now one of my students. I hoped that she would be good enough to not disappoint me.
Leaning back in my chair, I smiled while lifting a glass of tea to my lips. The black Chamorro tea was very light with a hint of vanilla, giving it a nice smooth flavor with no caffeine or calories. Perfect for someone like me who needed to keep in shape. Not like I couldn’t electrocute most people if needed anyway, but I had an image to keep up

	At last, there it had been. To be honest what the place had looked like surpasses what I expected by far. There had been foliage that had been speckled around to beautify some things, not to mention there had actually been things that were sculpted from marble. And last time I checked that had been a pretty decent material to make something out of. All of the eye candy had been good to keep my mind focused about just how great this schooling would be. It wasn’t like I was dropping out of school for combative purposes, no; I was still going to be attending classes. Which sort of bewildered me because at first I truly did think what I would be attending would be completely lacking of any actual academic purposes. So, I followed along behind the guy who had been escorting me there. I had been in my usual attire even though I was not sure if there had been a certain uniform I’d be wearing now that I attended my schooling here. Either way I carried a very large bag bloated like a fat man’s belly with a bunch of things I would need for survival during this five month period. There truly had been a lot of things especially for utility purposes. There also had been a lot of things that would be very essential for this survival. I had to wonder how many other students there had been seeing as I hadn’t been to anything like this before and it obviously was very different from ‘normal’ academies. Secondly because of how solitary it truly had been. At this point it was hard to even wait to see what the various classes would be like themselves. W/C: 290/290.

The man at the entrance would take over the job of escorting her into the building. The wide, plat formed stairs would lead to a wall of glass, where sections would slide open. The entrance foyer was a large, open top with a skylight ceiling, which darkened with the oncoming storm. There was a large symbol engraved into the marble flooring, with the old language for “Without sacrifice there can be no victory” . The building was white, with dark green and gold accents. The interior was clean, as the school had yet to be opened. Taking a look at the monitor, I would see my student arrive rather quicker than I had expected. I figured it would take her a while before accepting the offer, not just a day. Smiling, I pulled my white suit jacked up across my shoulders before heading out of the office. My body would slide into the conference room, which held a fourteen person table, and a mini bar. On the opposite end was a door that would lead out to the main hallway of the faculty wing. Sliding quickly down it, my body would appear at the top of an open staircase that was built into the wall, with one side completely open to the foyer. Laying eyes on the young girl, I figured being early would have its perks. For one, the student council, a body of special students like herself, had already moved in. She would be the first upper student to move in before the term started. While Angela, the Student council president had objected, I over ruled her instantly as she had no right to delegate what I did. She was a great leader, but had a lot to learn before she could be on my level.
“I am glad you came.. Marcus, see that her things are taken to her room. “
The man in the black suit would reach for her bag before removing it from her. He would then move to the side and disappear down a long corridor. While this happens, I would move myself to the bottom of the staircase, all the while watching at how she observed being here.
“Follow me.”
I would turn upon reach the bottom of the stairs, and head past them to the right. Moving down the hallway, I would bring us to a single sliding wall that would reveal an elevator. This elevator would be the passage way down to the lower levels, where the upper school was located. Once in the elevator, I would be able to explain the entire facility, and its operations to her. Well, not all of its operations. In fact, most of it would be kept from her for now. I had three weeks to get this kid up to speed and ready to work at the upper school level.

	I continued to follow along and it hadn’t been to long before the destination had been reached. My attention settles upon him firmly as I listened to what he intended to say to me. I had been pretty bewildered to have thought about how a simple encounter on the streets could have led to this. Was this merely luck, or was it something more than that? Possibly, was it something that I could call fate? I was gladdened that I had been currently receiving quite the amazing treatment, my stuff even carried towards my room. But for some reason I knew that this would likely change even if it would be eventual. That was because I was reminded of what he had told me - things weren’t likely worth it if not hard. I nod in response as I follow along upon his instruction. An elevator had been revealed which had been promptly entered whenever it would open. “This place is amazing...” I report as I lightly cross my arms below my chest. W/C: 175/465.

The entire facility had been designed to house a training facility underground. Down here, we would be able to experiment on martial arts styles, tweak them, and industrialize them. At the end of the project, we would have our own private military force that would be fully capable of defending the lower commons from attack of any kind. We didn’t need the division or the city government, all we needed was the citizens from here who wanted to be the best. "thanks."Standing in the center of the elevator, we would move down two floors, which was spread out at a fifty foot interval, then a twenty foot one. I sighed lightly while the elevator finally made it to the first, where a ding occurred. The door would slide open before Megan exited. I immediately followed, then turned left. Moving down the white corridor, there would be windows on both sides, some to class rooms, the ones on the right to the student council room, a conference room where they could run the student body in their entirety. I had left that to them simply because I knew they would know the students on a more personal basis than any of the faculty. We could monitor their activities from the side, and intervene as necessary. After that, the hallway would open into a large foyer overhang with glass siding. The stairs would lead down to a study lounge and cafeteria. Across from it was the entrance to the dorms for the upper students, where she would be staying. Her bags could be seen being carried from here.
“This is where your special electives will be held”
Smiling, I would turn and continue down the hall, which came to a stop. On one side [the left] was the arena, where you could enter a room and observe training matches that were occurring. Other than the scientists who were studying and monitoring the fights to study the martial arts styles, this was the only place where you could see inside the arena. On the opposite side was the top level of the gym, which possessed two weight rooms, a track that wrapped around the upper level of the gym, with a center balcony that overlooked the gym floor below. Entering the observation room, I would take the corner staircase down to the entrance hall, where we would be able to enter the arena. he room we entered was considered a waiting room. There were two doorways in this room, both identical. Along the far wall was a comfortable bench that students waiting to enter could sit on, and above the entrance we came through, a decently sized flat screen so people could watch what was currently going on inside the room. Beams inside the doors would lower, giving off sounds of air being depressurized. The large steel doors would slowly part before sliding into the sides of the wall. Before us would be the arena. It was essentially a carbon steel reinforced ceramic cube with a domed roof. The square sides were a hundred feet each, giving for a decently sized place for sparring between students, or for when I wanted to do private training sessions. Inside this room, I could fight without being hindered.

	There had been a lot of sights to soak up as we continued to traverse through this place. At one point I could even see my bags being carried to my presumed dorm. But this place seemed to have it all. It even had an arena, and it was massive! The tolerance of it was probably near unbreakable, and that meant people could push themselves past their limits, or to them, whichever, and barely leave any sort of print in the massive structure. But there had been far more in this place than just that. Everything seemed utterly luxurious, everything seemed to top what school I had been in before completely. Sure, the last one was nice, but would anyone really expect something as grand as this in this district of the city? I couldn’t at first, but I guess I was wrong. With this I could immediately assume that there must have been quite a bit more students if the place had been of this size. To me the purpose of having a facility this ample in size would probably be to hold a lot of people. Very likely more than the average school. I would miss the other one, it was impossible not to especially with recent encounters. But as I continued to make my way through here thoughts like those would just fade away. It was then he asked a question and I fixate my gaze steadily upon him firstly. Smiling, I part my lips to respond. “I have.” Nodding affirmatively I prepare for whatever more I would soon witness.

Her answer was as expected, and put a light smile on my face. Sliding my jacket off, I would hang it up on the wooden rack before entering the arena. Megan would be in main room watching, recording the data that I gave off for my studies later. I was curious to see what this child had in her. I had felt a spark back in the city, and wanted to know if there was really a lot of potential here. Walking into the center of the arena, the large steel doors would slide shut behind us before the air compressed locks engaged.

	I enter into the depths of this cubical arena and clasp my hands together lightly. Stretching my arms outwards and locking my fingers I crack my knuckles as to attain a momentary feeling of relief within them. I make my way towards the midst of the massive canvas, keeping a fair amount of distance between us firstly. I may not live past this day, but I wouldn’t be so weak as to not cling onto my life. And of course, that had been because I had something to live for. If I did not get past this little test of mettle I would never be able to achieve the goals which I so desperately wished to grasp. I needed this training, it differentiated from an option; it was a prerequisite. It this setting I was at a dire disadvantage, but I’d been looking to see just how far I could go without that certain aid. “Alright... In that case, I can’t just hold back, either.” W/C: 165/895.

I stood there casually, hands in my pockets and waiting for her to make a move. Taking a light breath, the air would be used to purify the energy in my body. From here, using the base of enlightenment of thunder and lightning, I would split the two charges and disperse the energy through my body, electrifying it. Were she to touch me, she would experience a shock that would cause her muscles to seize and contract, effectively paralyzing her. This girl would have to put it all on the line, and hold nothing back if she wanted to prove that she could be my successor. I had never seen anyone with the potential that she had.. don’t disappoint.

	I take in a deep breath as I steady my attention upon my target. There had been something about this guy that seemed so supreme and intimidating but I wasn't necessarily the type to back out like such. I did have some selections, and it did seem that I was making the first move; the first move may put me at a disadvantage, or, it may put me at an advantage. But from experience there was always at least a sixty five percent chance at my current expertise that it would bring about disadvantage. My current arsenal hadn't been to versatile nor broad in any way, but it would have to suffice. Perhaps I could commix a close quarter assault into the very ranged style I currently held - maybe it would seem more impressive that way. I begin with an incantation, a requisite for the use of the skill I planned to use. "Writhe in pain." I chant as I thrust my fist forward into the air. From it extends a thin rope of electricity thirty feet in length. Its intent would be to coil around him and paralyse him to that spot via unpleasant shocks and the sickly contraction of muscles, but my next move could very well be deterred by whatever action he would take. I couldn't be hasty, not yet anyways. W/C: 227/1122. Technique Used: Lytning Bind (Honed).

Subject: Re: Venturion Academy Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:00 am

I stood there, watching an ability all too familiar. The chain of electricity would hit my body, giving me a light sting. Flexing my muscles, I exhaled, forcing my own electricity into it. The chain around me would spark and burst away, disappearing, but leaving me standing there for a moment in curiosity. So, this child could use the lightning element. It was nice of her to show me that up front instead of me beating it out of her. I shook my head, wondering what else she had in her. This little test might just be getting interesting. After all, binding an opponent is usually a fool proof way of winning any type of fight, or for getting away when in a pinch. There are a lot of uses for the lightning chain, especially outside of combat. I personally use it to pull my footrest over to my desk when I’m tired.

	Useless? How? Damnit! The chain of electricity didn't seem to even scathe him one bit. This narrowed down my arsenal even more seeing as this technique, the first I've ever learned in fact, had been proved useless. My teeth dig lightly into my lip as I look around the arena. There did not appear to be any particular obstacles from what I could see anyways. It was just me and him, and currently that put me at quite the disadvantage. There was another thing in me that could have been used, but, supplementary things wouldn't prove to have any sort of effect in a combative scenario. If that didn't work, then... I couldn't utilize all of my last resorts at this moment. I wasn't sure how he did whatever he just did, but I was sure as hell going to find out. Shifting my speed to a running pace I move towards him. I was no blackbelt, that was for sure, but I knew that attacking someone with a frame so much larger than my own on areas that could tolerate more damage than other parts of the body wouldn't be a wise move. I open the close quarter combat with a simply kick aimed towards the midst of his leg in hopes of causing him to lose his footing. W/C: 227/1349. Technique Used: N/A.

I shake my head as the young girl charges me head on. I would have to give herb onus points for guts, most people, even demons, would stay away from me at that range. Not even moving, I would stand there without budging an inch, and allow her to hit me. The purpose of it was simple. I had no fear, and I could see it in her eyes that neither did she. That was a good sign. Unfortunately, to learn an ability, you must experience it. This would be her first lesson, and one learned the easiest way. To fully understand something, you have to know the base principle of how lightning worked. Upon touching me, the electricity stored in my body would jump to hers, sending a paralyzing shock up her leg and into her midsection. It was nothing intentional, just business. She was the one who had chosen the close combat path anyway. Void of Spatial Thunder was one of my favorite abilities, especially since I didn’t have to give any warning to use it..

	I could almost feel the trouble arising as I began to notice far too late that he hadn't exactly been moving from that spot. I didn't know what to expect upon contact, but upon contact I instantly registered in my mind exactly what this feeling came from. Instantaneously, almost like an electric fence, electricity jumped and permeates through my leg. Electricity tends to travel, and this amount seemed to go all the way to my mid section, which was alarming seeing as it entered through my leg. Gasping in pain from the extremely unpleasant shock delivered I clench my teeth as to aid in maintain stability to some sort of degree, but overall my attempts had been fruitless. But, I couldn't give up just yet, no matter what other tricks he may have had. I learned one thing - and that was that this individual could use electricity, and well. My thoughts are scrambled from the volt and the muscles in my arm contract as I try very hard to ready my next assault. As of now it seemed that my body had been paralysed. But definitely...

I stepped forward as she hobbled, shifting weight using a foot work technique called quickstep. I had been developing it for a while, and it essentially used a calculated half step to either side at certain points of an engagement. This could put you closer, or further away from an enemy at the minimum amount of space. The point? It could give you the perfect time for a reflect shot, or to avoid a nasty one. I was rather curious to her bodies strength level. Would she be able to withstand a technique from me if I gave it to her at full? It kind of made me wonder.. She used electricity, but had she ever been shocked? From the look in her eyes, I was guessing that the answer to that was a definite no. I shook my head while raising my right arm. My fingers would curl inwards, with my index finger extending. As it did, the tip would crackle before a single lightning bolt emerged from it. The bolt would soar across the arena floor, directly towards the young girl.

	At last I regained control of my body, but I'd already lost my footing and stabilizing myself, especially after that, would take time. I barely even get to place my foot on the ground before I scantily notice something coming towards me. Alas, at the moment which I noticed it its sheer speed caused me to be hit by it. Not only was a plethora of electricity sent through me, but also I had been sent back a bit of a distance. This in turn caused me to skid aggressively across the arena floor - burning just about every area that had succumbed to this friction. But, I couldn't just roll over and die at that very moment. My life had finally struck a point where I had attained things to live for - things to protect. Perhaps there was a person who I wanted to make proud as well; but, I wouldn't be so ignorant as to go by that as a main priority. If there was one thing I wished to protect the most, one thing I wished to impress the most, it would have to be myself. My own death would merely sadden those who were attached to me, and to not consider that would be selfish on my behalf. My body crackling with the remainder of the electricity, slowly, I push myself up... "You yourself said to push myself to the very edge of my existence..." I pant in exhaustion. "Well... I'm gonna do just that..." In spite of the consequences of attacking him head on before, I still manage to walk towards him, even if it had been at a severely reduced pace than it had been last time.

“Good.”
I watched the girl slowly get up, and walk towards me. She had taken a bolt straight on, and still had the resolve to get up and walk towards me. My hand stayed raised, with my fingers extending. She had something to fight for, and that would give her the most important part of combat. EOTL was based off of synthesizing your body and energy, but the thing that could surpass that was the spirit, and very few had that. Spirit could easily be broken, and with it, the human will. This girl was something else.. something special.

My palm would flicker for a moment before five bolts shot out, all at the same time. Each of the bolts would fire in her general direction. I wanted to test her physical abilities as well, and see how much she was willing to take before giving out, or how much her body could take before it would have enough.

Rasp breaths depart from my mouth with every gasp of air I manage to take. There had been something I noticed very quickly about the use of these spells. There had been no incantation! That overall had been something I first had thought would be impossible, but was this man's expertise over lightning this great? No matter. I would continue to take heavy steps forward, and despite the scenario my hope still had been very potent. I was physically sore from electricity's effects after being shocked to such a degree. And without any incantation this hampered my ability to predict at least when the spell would go off. If I were to rebut with any sort of defence, I knew I would just be cut short.

Inevitably, five more bolts makes their way towards me; it truly was a beautiful element even though its beauty had been ephemeral. I brace myself for the oncoming attack, but I could not give up. Most of them were coming in my general direction so I could only hope that a majority of them would not hit, which would be better than eating all of them. Raising my arms in a guarding fashion they would strike me, and I could feel the pain of the electricity ravaging and moving through just about every nerve it passed. My gaze still fixates upon him, but at that moment everything seems to fade black almost like a light going off. Was that my consciousness? Damnit, not just yet. As I lay upon the arena floor it did seem as though I had completely lost consciousness. However, slowly, using willpower alone I drive my body to pull myself back up to a standing position. Everything is blurry and hard to distinguish, and as I attempt to take another step, I simply fall back down. It probably had been the first time I'd measured my body's limitations.

"Megan, stop recording and call Heather."
Those would be the only words to exit my lips before turned to face the child once more. Lowering my arm, I watched her pull herself up to her feet, amazingly enough, before falling down again. Man, I could already tell this was going to be a repetitive thing.. she would overdo it, and I would have to clean up.. great. Shaking my head, my body would flicker from site across the floor before scooping her body up with ease. Sighing lightly, I would take her over to the door, which would open with a resounding, pressurized hiss. Standing on the other side would be a red headed woman in a lab coat, much like Megan had worn. The difference was a blue stripe around the mid section, a symbol of her wing. She was the medical director, and would take care of the over strained student. I had shown her a glimpse of power, in return for her showing me that she was willing to never back down.

I was pretty numb at the moment so distinguishing things like physical contact had even been difficult. Behind closed eyes I however get the feeling that I had been lifted up. I couldn't even move a single finger at this point. But, still, I felt satisfied - even if I did not know if I had passed this test or not. I felt as though I truly had done just as I said I would and that was shown through the ability to never give up no matter how much my body told me to. Maybe I wasn't even using my head at that point since I think my brain too had been very coherently instructing me to stop. It must have been my heart that was guiding me at that point.

I opening one eye I notice that I had been handed off to someone else. My brown iris shifts its attention until it finally localizes my previous opponent. I managed to catch the words which he said, which puts a stupid grin across my face, well more like a glint of one. It seemed that I had some things to learn before I truly would be able to even locate the first stepping stone to the path I sought.

I sighed before watching the young girl get wheeled out and towards the medical wing. At least Heather would have a chance to get all of her stuff down and make sure it all worked now. Pulling myself into the room, the doors would shut behind me while I brought my white suit jacket down across my shoulders. Before I knew it, Megan was right behind me, with a rather angry tone, and yelling about me almost killing one of our upper students.
"relax.. i had it under control.. shes the one."

My secretaries eyes would widen before closing her mouth tightly with a smile. This kid may be the one who would succeed me as master of one of the non-heavens types magics, and take the title of Lightning Tiger. I would have to visit her.

As I was wheeled off at last I could rest a bit before I would likely have to begin doing other stuff. It felt good to not have so many people congregate around me alike the last school. Currently, I'd been busy thinking about the techniques I seen used during that bit of combat. Especially without even the slightest bit of incantation. My arsenal hadn't been too versatile and I had been limited to a very narrow selection of skills. Maybe before I had been truly blind to when techniques like those would prove fruitless. If I could just mimic to some degree some of the spells I seen back there then maybe I could progress more and attain this necessary strength to be trained. Nonetheless, my eyes open once more, though this time it had been at a differing time. I had gotten a decent tour of the place, but I knew not the location of that man. I didn't just want to lay here... I wanted to learn more and increase my ability. But my body was still wrought with soreness and I felt overall immobilized until I'd recover.

I think I'm supposed to stay in here. If I wanted I could probably go seek him out, but then the people currently trying to take care of me may not respect that. At least feeling had been returning to my limbs... Even if it were gradual and numb and tingly.

By the time I returned to my office, there would be a chart on my screen with a print out of my bodies energy consumption. I had been consuming a lot less, even though it had taken quite a spike to disperse that lightning bind. I wondered how she had learned something like that. It wasn't likely that it was an inherited ability, but if it was, she may have more promise than originally noticed. A sigh escaped my lips before I emailed the final papers to her old school. She was officially mine.
