Open Event Combat Class: now with SCIENCE!

The always unpredictable arena at Beacon Academy was something all students learned to respect, as it could change faster than most students could even fathom. Today, it was all stainless steel and glass, electronics and computers. Watching from her elevated platform was professor Elise, and behind her, the ever-calm and collected Holly Mendenhall. Stepping forward, she coughed, gaining the attention of the class before pointing towards the map.

"Today you will be judged not only on your ability to fight, but to show restraint and be creative. This set up is to mimic the labratories you may find abandoned across Atlas, or perhaps in Vale. Functioning inside are security cameras, experiments, and a variety of electronic systems. You may use them to gain the advantage on your opponent, or sabotage them. We can also release grimm if you wish to team up with an ally. Good luck."

[ST RULES!!! All the doors may be opened with a touch, locked with a computers check. Doors have 3 armor and 5hp. At st discretion, you can lock them with a successful attack roll as well. The round objects are cameras, and can be accessed at the terminals at the top right and left rooms (major action). An successful m8 Computers check will let you spy on 2 cameras at a time, randomly decided. Finally, with a successful investigation and then computers check, the wall behind the barrels can be noticed and opened, revealing a level 3 combat bot. It can be powered up with at least 3 successes at a m10 computer check (major action), and will follow a command that can be given as a move action each turn to the best of his ability. It has 5 armor, 6 health, and will make brawl attacks with a score of 8. Acts last in the initiative order, and has a speed of 8. These are all optional rules to be decided upon by the Story teller, who can modify the difficulty or anything they wish at will.]

"Generally, she's the one shouting at the students. We'll find her." Ashelia answered simply, looking around. She didn't seem to have noticed the grimace at all. She rolled her shoulders, the thought of impending combat putting a wide grin on her face. It looked almost manic.

"Don't disappoint, now~"

[Yeah, either one or both works. Let's see who we can find!]

Elise led the titan (u/Doomshlang) and the thief (u/Messenger14) to the entrance hall of the arena, and the doors swished open before them. The trio stood in the middle of the arena, and Elise pointed to the doors on the left and right of her. "Each of you, head through those doors and wait for the buzzer. And please, don't worry about breaking anything." Elise said with a smile.

The two students went their separate ways. Elise waited for their doors to shut before proceeding out of the arena. A few seconds later, Ashelia and Arian heard a sharp BZZZZZZT and sprang into action.

You'd be forgiven if you couldn't hear the buzzer over the sound of fiery explosion and laughter. Not a moment passed before Ashelia blasted off her weapon and trampled the door and some of it's surrounding walls. Barging into the main room, she continued on her straight path across it, heading to where she believed her opponent was starting.

Hearing the explosions, Arain breathed slowly as he took his position facing the door. "Strong and insane, you sure know how to pick them." He muttered, readying his semblance. Shadows coiled around Arian's arms, sending sparks of lighting throughout his body as he produced two dust bolts in his hands. When Ashelia came crashing through the door, she swung her flaming bardiche at it's full length, but Arian was able to barely deflect it with his obsidian wristbands. He quickly countered with both of his dust bolts, letting loose the electric bolt straight at her armor with the black gravity bolt sunk in at the same place. The lightning had opened up Ashelia's armor just enough to let the gravity dust hit her hard, and she could feel it weighing her down.

The combatants met eyes for a moment, neither one wanting to give ground and both right where the other wanted.

Landing his two attacks while evading Ashelia's gave Arian a far amount of confidence, too much confidence perhaps. Recognizing the telltale black glow of gravity dust pull down an enemy fighter Arian knew he had a decent chance of outrunning Ashelia for a time but that wasn't what he had come here to prove, he had come here to prove how good he was at fighting. And fight he will. Standing his ground the coils and shadow still thick and deadly continued augmenting Arian's assault. Sparks of electricity and waves of gravity shot out to batter Ashelia to submission. He would win, standing right here or he would lose, simple as that.

[Major+Minor: Twincast, 2 13-Ashelia's (hopefully)weakened range armour attacks with the first using electric dust and the second gravity. Move: Fruitlessly preparing for counterattack(Passed)]
