I don't have a hand to hand, so its the closest combat related skill, since you can't use your aura stat to fight.

Yeeeess I can. C'mon, it'd be hilarious.

Alright, you can... but its going to hurt.  A lot.

((ehheheheheeeeeh))


((I don't know what to do here. Sure, the RP you'd get from the training is great, but Aurum learning to fight would probably make him unbalanced.))

"Oh, I can fight. I just don't like to, because unlike when you hit me, it hurts."

Aurum over surges his Aura, striking at Justine.

((I forgot to mention, how much of your aura are you expending?))

Maeve, for the most part, is just calmly watching the fights, waiting for her turn.

Amber watches Maeve for a few minutes hands clasped behind her back, leaning slightly forward, as her jewelry tinkles slightly as she shifts from foot to foot.

"Hmmm...how about you?"

She walks towards Maeve and looks out at the arena area with her. "I wanna fight you. How about it?"

Indigo walks up to Carran.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Maeve looks up at her.
"Hm?'

[Rolepgeek]

Amber leans back on her heels; and she is wearing heels, even if they're short, wide and seem to be made of metal. "For the testing. I think it'd be fun to fight you for it."

Her clothing jingles with the various silver and amber adornments on it, along with the loose orangish robe-like clothing she's wearing.

She pulls out a thick metal hoop, about two feet in diameter, from behind her back, and jingles it at Maeve, grinning.

"How about it? You and me."

((1000. Just to see how much damage it would do, and it better be a damn high amount.))

((Watch, it'll be like 2))

((just kidding, probably more like 300))

Emeril attack 12*10*1.5*.74= 133.2 causes prone
Raven defense 4*70=280 no damage knocked prone (Can not act next turn except to recover and defend.)

Raven attack 35*10*1.5*.12 = 63
Emeril defense = 320 no damage

Emeril and Raven circle each other for a minute before Emeril notices him glowing green, wind dust, he charges her, going far faster than anyone his size should be able to.  Thankfully Emeril anticipated his charge, her ice blast leaves the floor of the tower slippery and he goes skidding past her and very nearly falls off the tower.  He manages to stop himself by going down on all fours and jamming his fingers in the resulting ice crystals.  His legs fly out from under him however and he falls.

Aurum attack 100*2 (a random number 1-10)*1.5= 300
Aurum self damage 100*6 (a random number 1-10)*1.5=900
Justine defense = 200
Aurum defense = 80
Justine total damage = 100
Aurum total damage = 820

Aurum's aura surges violently, the power he expends is unimaginable to most people his age.  The golden aura expands around him and causes a life draining effect to envelop the area.  He can feel every lesser creature down to the microorganisms dying around him. Justine, seeing the build up of aura around Aurum through her own semblance moves as fast as she can to get away from him.  Even at the distance that she manages to reach, she still feels like she just aged a week.  In fact, judging by her hair, she just did.

When the glow dies down, Aurum is left gasping, that actually did hurt. A lot.  The air around him hurts to breathe and his vision feels darker.
The instructor is staring intensely at Aurum now, watching for his next move.

[RangerCado]

Emeril swiftly slams her weapons back together, the Panther reconsolidating back into sniper form quite rapidly. With a quick aim in Raven's direction, she fires a shot at the floor. If all went well, this should either knock him off the tower, or freeze him in place in a massive ice crystal. The former was a win, the latter didn't leave him much room to wiggle out of before she shoots him again, theoretically.

Regardless, Emeril makes sure to watch his movements the entire time she lines up the shot and fires. She did NOT want to miss or be blind sided by something unexpected.

"Sword me. Now."

((Closer to 7600 actually.))

Chartre's test goes suprisingly well, though he is certain that he guessed on quite a few questions. It probably comes down to this last essay.

40) This class is intended to be a self realization course. What do you feel that your semblance says about you?

Spoiler: Chartre's Essay (click to show/hide)

To understand what I have learned about myself from my Semblance, one must first understand something about me: Until now, I've been homeschooled. My mother is a huntress, Blava Alcole, and she graduated from Bulwark herself; I've learned much about the ways of a Hunter. And since my mother, a powerful Typhoon semblance user, largely relies upon her Semblance in battle, she taught me much about my Semblance as well. For years I've come to terms with what my Semblance defines about me and how I define it. And what I've found... My Semblance is Null. It allows me, essentially, to cancel out the Semblance of others. Yet this is much more than simply the nullifying of the Semblance of others: it's the creation of peace. It creates a much more peaceful battle, one where I don't have to worry about flying flame or unexpected speed bursts. And for me it's created an inner peace that I believe is core to my personality.

Null creates peace in battle, this is the simple and primary advantage of its function. Without the extra dimension of battle that Semblances provide, the often unknown and nearly always unpredictable special touch each combatant brings, without that... the battle is much simpler. It becomes a simple and graceful contest of skill with weapon and dust (though I do have somewhat of an advantage thanks to my Semblance) and the battle is much more uncomplicated. It merely flows along the ways one may move and the ways one may think, minus one dimension. For the onlooker, this may seem still chaotic (it is a battle), but for a Hunter, Huntress, or even a Hunter-in-training like me, it makes a world of difference for how easily one can feel secure and make sense of things... something that applies outside of battle as well.

This peace, this security, it has run into my upbringing and personality, something I'm truly thankful for. I've always felt a certainty in life that told me that everything would be okay, so long as I and others did what needed to be done. Though it has led to some overconfidence at times, this certainty has served me very well in life. Whenever I was in a situation that looked like everything was going to go wrong, I could stay calm and I could usually manage to salvage it. My Semblance has imprinted itself such in my personality. It's not perfect... as with my aura, I sometimes cannot help but wonder if this calm is fragile, and I'm not always in total control of my habits. But it's very much a part of me, a reason why I'm so quiet and why I'm typically mellow. My Semblance has woven into me, and I am much of the way I am because of it: calm, quiet, and sometimes simple, just like the effect Null has on battle. My Semblance reveals these things about me as I reveal things about it and grow off of it, an introspection of myself that I've learned over the years of my upbringing.
