<hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://cdn18.picsart.com/87452306658.jpeg?r1024x1024)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Akumo Isevard (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=286197.msg14082730#msg14082730)<br/><strong>Aura:</strong>Red[Locked]<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong>Morning, Day One.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Clearing<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Headmaster Vulpine, Masque<strong>Mention:</strong>Masque<br/><hr/><br/>Akumo watched and listened with the expression of complete focus on the headmaster. Even though the words of facing dangerous Grim unfazed him, he was more worried about failing the test than his own survival. Years and generations of soldiers in the family can do that. Not only that, but he knew even with the gigantic blade strapped to his back with a leather holster of two leather strips with metal buckles being physically intimidating to his peers, most had an advantage that they possessed aura and he did not. But he was going to keep that secret to himself.<br/><br/>His eye's followed the mask clad figure step onto the launchpad and be sent off the cliff away from his view. Akumo closed his eyes and took the deepest breath before opening his eyes slow and walked toward the launchpad. He positioned his feet evenly before the launchpad and finally let go of his breath as he suddenly grabbed the hilt of Titanus and jumped forward, hitting his one foot hard down on the launchpad which sent him flying like the other student. The familiar feeling of free-fall hit him as he descended down the cliff, coming from a cliff-side environment and having many mishaps during his training days this was an all too familiar situation. His hand softly squeezed the hilt of his blade and a burst of blue glowed from one side of his sword which caused it to undo the metal buckles in an instant and have the sword in one hand at his side.<br/><br/>Akumo eyed the environment as he fell, he ground swiftly coming to meet him if he were to hesitate for too long. But Akumo was patient, not hesitant. His eyes locked onto a particullarly tall tree and aimed the point of his blade towards it. Aiming for a thick trunk he squeezed the large trigger on the hilt and in a burst of blue energy the blade segmented apart, attatched to each egment was a long metallic looking carbon fiber cable that had a series of holes along it, and under and around each segment of the blade, revealed more holes that the energy jetted out from. The blade flew like a harpoon, and the large section of the tip of the blade sank into the tree, going almost through the other side.<br/><br/>Akumo then squeezed the trigger softly causing the blade to begin returning into it's original state, much like swinging on a rope from a high altitude. Akumo swung himself in a very risky swinging maneuver, his feet kicking the tops of the grass of the forest floor before he quickly gained height again. At the highest point he fully squeezed the trigger and the blade came flying back to him. When all of the blade snapped back into it's original form, the momentum caused the blade to fly toward. Keeping his grip strong, he used this momentum to begin spinning in the air with the blade, like a deadly prize wheel. He came careening into the same clearing as the previous student Masque, before he gripped the blade tight and a jet of energy erupted out of one side of the blade, near cancelling out the deadly spin, and cleaved completely in half a Beowulf that had began to charge the student form the forest line. It was almost as if it was a hot blade through room temperature butter with how easily it sliced through it.<br/><br/>Akumo then felt the grass beneath his feet as he was coming in fast. He kicked down digging his feet into the earth so not to go into a high speed topple. Creating two lines in the grass where his feet planted as he came to a skidding halt, his back softly bumping into the back of the student Masque as he came to the complete stop. Akumo held the handle of his sword in two hands as he had it in a downward swordsman position. His eyes scanning the forest line. It was almost scenic, two unknown student soldiers back to back. Never meeting one another before or speaking a word, but both having a mutual understanding of their situation and knowing full well that it was up to them to keep not only their lives, but their futures in their sight.
