Self Defense and Kickassery for Dummies; Thursday Fifth Period [7th. Class]

Usually, the students would enter the Danger Shop just to find Faith doing whatever she was doing, keeping to herself in silence until the actual class started. Usually, they would listen to her talking about a self defense fighting style, see her beating a guy without abusing of her Slayer powers, or just being told to fight here and run there.

This time it was different.

As the students entered they would find themselves in a big arena, somehow reminiscent of the roman Colosseum. The difference was that the arena itself was separated in a number of platforms, all of them floating around.

And there was a huge crowd roaring and cheering everyone on the stands.

"Last class kiddos", said Faith, who was dressed like she would dress every day if she didn't have to teach, cracking her knuckles and smirking a little too much. "Today we put on the arena what we learned all this time. You can fight against one of your classmates, against one of the pretty gladiators I've prepared, or against me. However, all bets are off, nobody is holding back here, no hard feelings later." She was still going to hold back, admittedly, but they didn't need to know that.

A number of light circles appeared on the ground, one for each student. "So make your choice and step in." She turned, but stopped, turning her head back with a grin. "And if you don't step in the circle, you'll have to deal with some pretty little pets that will be released in the arena." Suffice to say, she was going to love this class.

Dru was fairly certain she didn't have the strength to deal with a gladiator. Hopefully whatever 'pets' came out would have too many teeth.

Oh crap...

Dru looked about trying to find something to use as a weapon.

[karate class calls soon. AFK for an hour or so]

The broadsword looked too heavy, the crossbow was more of a long range weapon, and now wasn't the time to figure out the best way to use a pike.

So the axe it was.

Dru grabbed the axe and immediately turned swinging it at the midsection of the nearest lizard dude.

Alas, poor computer created Billy. Watching him fade away reminded Dru that this wasn't a real situation, and that more then likely the administration would frown upon a dead student, so she just decided to go for it and have fun.

Being in the midst of a group of circling lizard men wasn't a good place to be. After a few seconds of measuring distances, she dove through the gap between two of the creatures, spinning and slashing the axe towards the back of creature on her right.

Dru turned the axe so that the end of the handle was facing outwards and struck one of the lizard guys right in the jaw, before dashing a few feet away to regroup.

She'd anticipated some sort of hit with the staff, it was just a matter of was it going to go high or go low?

Low it was.

Dru jumped straight up, over the the swinging staff, then struck at it with the axe. If she was lucky, he'd be out a weapon.

Scully stomped in, took a deep breath, and set herself for whatever was going to be thrown at her.

Seriously? Seriously?

Scully grabbed the crossbow, loaded it, and aimed for eyes of the first one who'd called her tiny. And grabbed a handful of bolts for re-load for the second.

One down. One to--

Aaaaah!

Scully backed up madly, and took the second shot at the second lizard, aiming for the throat this time, aim a bit off due to being charged by a giant lizard.

"Kenny?" Scully had to say. Running faster, and jumping over Kenny's body to stop and turn to fire again, aiming for the neck this time. "You were going to eat me!"

[ooc: *hangs head for moment of silence. And laughing.*]

And Scully took a breath, then sat down in the arena, disbelieving. Whew.

She can handle a gladiator. She can handle a gladiator. If Asuna repeated it enough times maybe it'd come true!

"Um. I can handle a giant beast!" Asuna said all bluster but then added, "But, I'll just fight a gladiator for the day!"

Sure, Asuna.
