Felicie listened to Ivadi's reasoning behind his interest in the tournament and his sudden competitive spirit. She thought it was a bit silly, but she understood his wanting to make something of himself. After all, she also strived to live up to her family name, which she indeed to do while participating in the competition this year. Nonetheless, she decided that she would antagonize him a little, true to her nature.

"Heh, went flying with your father in they sky? Ah, that's sounds so adorable, I hope you weren't to frightened by the experience. But it is good you want to cast off your sheltered lifestyle and experience the world in its fullest." Shortly after that statement, with a flash Felicie suddenly appears behind the young mage's back. The vampire heiress was known throughout the academy for many things, one of which was her skill with the wind walk technique. She could move faster than most students could see, and usually got the drop on them. Indeed, even the highest grade instructors at Seraph praised her skill with the spell. She began to whisper in Ivadi's ear, trying to see if any of his shyness toward the other sex was still present.

"You know Ivadi, I could help you with your 'experience'. As you know, I'm next in line to be the head of the Schwarzrosen house. The Schwarzrosen house is one of the ruling houses of the kingdom, with my father being a member of the high council. What I'm getting at is that you won't find many girls out there with more...prestige than me, as I told you before at the research facility. You could argue about the Lisianthus being the crowned princess and all, but you and I both know she's--" Felicie's sentence was cut off as she heard another familiar voice. It was Brandon Valiquette, who apparently came here with the intent to register for the tournament as well.

Felicie turns to face Brandon, as her attention shifts from the Child of the Archmage. "Oh my, so even Mr. Arms Dealer joins us today. What a pleasant surprise. Anri and Luke just went to the counter to join, and as you can see the Princess is absent at the moment. And little Ivadi here just finished his entry into the competition."

---------------------
Lisia's Room
---------------------

Finally arriving at her room, the princess wastes no time in retrieving what she came to get. In her haste with undertaking student council duties, she had forgotten her crest of the royal family. She often didn't like wearing it at school, as she felt it further segregated her from the other students at the academy. However, her parents strictly instructed her to always wear it while on official business. The crest was an elegant trinket of sorts. It was an emblem that had the symbol of Ouroboros etched in the center. The snake was coiled into a perfect circle, swallowing its own tail. Pinning the emblem on her shirt she exited her room. Locking the door behind her, she made haste out of the school and into town.

Not wanting to keep her friends waiting any longer than necessary, she thought to use the spell "lightning step" in order arrive at the Luminous Citadel as quickly as possible. However, she knew that the usage of advanced magic within the city was forbidden. She would have to hope simply running there would be fast enough.

Ivadi blushed a little when she went behind him and whispered into his ear. he then blushed as he can to a realization "F-Felicie...are you......TRYING to find a guy for yourself?" he asked "I was a little skeptical at first...but putting to what Anri said before, I could guess that your attempts before were unsuccessful in trying to find a guy. can it be you're trying to find a guy before the year ends?" he asked not in any haughty or arrogant way, but he actually spoke in a tone of honest concern for her. despite how she is, he can't really bring himself to hate her or hold a grudge against her.

The vampire's attention shifted back to Ivadi after hearing his comment. Felicie's face had a look of offense all over it. To think that someone would have the gull to say that she, Felicie Schwarzrosen, would have any difficulty finding a man is preposterous. At least, in her eyes...

"Excuse me?! Unsuccessful? I'll have you know that no man I come across can resist my regal charm. If I wanted to, I could have every male student at the academy wrapped around my finger in mere seconds! The only reason I don't have a mate yet is because I have not found one suitable to my tastes as of yet." She makes her statements while poking Ivadi's chest with her index finger. However, her antics are broken by the arrival of two individuals, who have finished registering for the competition.

Anri and Luke walk over to the scene, with Anri being the first one to speak. "Honestly Felicie, can I leave you alone for a couple of minutes without you making a scene?" She sees that both Ivadi and Brandon are present as well. "Ah I see you two boys also decided to show up. Ivadi, my apologies if Ms. Schwarzrosen here has been giving you too much trouble." Felicie had grown slightly more annoyed with Anri interrupting her conversation. Her face red with irritation. Of course, Anri was used to it by now, they had known each other for their whole time at school. Anri knew quite well how to deal with the girl. "Listen, if you're angry, why not go ahead and register at the counter. You can vent your rage during the fights."

"Hmph, whatever. I hope I made myself clear little Ivadi, I am not one to be taken lightly!" With a scoff Felicie walks off toward the counter to enlist in the competition, leaving Ivadi and Brandon with Anri and Luke as company. Luke begins to speak. "...Well at any rate, I do look forward to going against all of you at the tournament. I especially hope to see what improvements you've made to those little gadgets of yours, what with Ivadi's armor and Brandon's magical devices."

The mage blinked as the princess was soon gone, and he was left facing the newcomer that would apparently be in the tournament as well. What was the king's plan; bringing in all these outside competitors? Was it some sort of ploy to unite the kingdoms closer, by getting non-Zauberheim involved in the annual tournament. He wasn't exactly sure, the king was one of the few individuals which of whom he could never quite read too well. Regardless, what was happening was happening, and he had a job to do. He looked to the man he now knew as Henry.

"Well, ahem...Henry, walk with me to the Citadel grounds. We can discuss your contract as we go. A number of students planning to sign up will be there already, so you might as well go join them, while I speak to the tournament officials." He turns on his heels, and walks to the front door of the academy, expecting the boy to follow.

-----------------------------
Academy Outer Grounds
-----------------------------

"So I'll tell you what I told the other person who I saw with one of these coins. As far as I know, they're like a token of advanced payment. You'll get meals and lodging free for a time that is set by the king, probably a time period in conjunction with the tournament. We'd have to confirm with tournament officials, as well as the king, which I plan on doing as soon as I get back to the castle. Otherwise, you'll probably be payed some sort of funds after the tournament is over, so you have something to take home." He stopped in his tracks for a moment, closed his eyes and pointed one finger to the sky. Which way was the Citadel again? A few moments passed, and based on mote distribution within the current area of the city, he pointed in one direction, and began walking that way. "Questions?"

Ivadi chuckles a little nervously as Felicie vented her anger on him "Excuse me?! Unsuccessful? I'll have you know that no man I come across can resist my regal charm. If I wanted to, I could have every male student at the academy wrapped around my finger in mere seconds! The only reason I don't have a mate yet is because I have not found one suitable to my tastes as of yet." she said while poking his chest with her index finger "but Felice....you not only don't have a mate, you don't even have servants to find said suitable mate." he said

The conversation was soon interrupted as Anri arrived to break it up "Ah I see you two boys also decided to show up. Ivadi, my apologies if Ms. Schwarzrosen here has been giving you too much trouble." she said as Ivadi smiles "no it's no problem, I wasn't phased by that outburst, to be honest I should have expected it actually." he said when Luke spoke "...Well at any rate, I do look forward to going against all of you at the tournament. I especially hope to see what improvements you've made to those little gadgets of yours, what with Ivadi's armor and Brandon's magical devices." he said as Ivadi nods "Oh, I think you'll find that you'll be very impressed." he said smiling before going to Felicie again

"I apologize for what I said earlier, It was never my intention to insult you. if you wish, how about we make a little wager in the tournament?" he asked as he went on. "if we happen to face each other in the tournament, and if you beat me, I'll become your personal servant to do whatever you wish." he continued. "you could beat me, cut me, starve me, feed me bad food. or even make me lick your high heels if you're feeling vindictive." he said "but if I win? I don't really know...I guess an assistant as effective as you would be perfect for me." he said with a smile

[Scrapmaster]

"if you say so then lets go" Henry said as he followed ventreus out of the academy, trying to figure out the type of aura he felt off of him, he couldn't quite put it in terms and describe it, nor could he name it, it was something very unique which intruigued him.
Henry nodded in understanding as he heard what Allo said about the coin and the contract and the tournament, the mention of the coin serving as a advanced payment surprised him as he walked with him, "I see" he said looking at the coin as Allo kept talking about his reward from the contract and all.
Henry stopped with him as he saw Allo stop and point his finger to the sky, he simply looked at quite amused as Allo began walking forward again and asking him if he had any questions, "none about the contract, but I do have a question concerning your 'aura' per say, yours seem quite unique in that I've never sen anything like it, if you don't mind me saying of course" he said to Allo in a friendly tone.

"Good to see you again.", Brandon responded while rolling his eyes at Felicie. No later after saying that, Ivadi made a comment that caused Felicie have a hissy fit. Brandon chuckled a bit after hearing what Ivadi had said. To be fair, Ivadi may have hit the nail on the head, but chances are that Felicie is too dense to see the truth. No time later, Anri and Luke arrived after registering for the tournament. Anri had convinced Felicie to blow off some steam by registering for the tournament. Ivadi followed her as well, no doubt to apologize to her. Thus leaving him alone with the two council members. "You're not the only one.", Brandon replied to Luke, "I've been meaning to test my gadgets in battle and this is a great opportunity.", he stated before walking away to register for the tournament. "I'll see you later. I'm going to register.", Brandon stated as he went off to register for the tournament.

[KillMoves]

"You know, I feel like there's someone else here that we've met." Annabelle said to Rielle offhandedly. The two women were nearing the Luminous Citadel for one of them were going to register for the tournament.
"El Cero?" Rielle guessed.
"No. My heart would feel at ease if he was here." The cannibal replied in a dreamy manner. "Besides, it's just a feeling."

The two soon reached the Citadel and there seemed there was a conversation among a group of students there. "Hey look Rielle, potential recruits." Annabelle said.
"Doubt it. There are monsters among them. They might as well be part of the monster faction." Rielle replied. Some of the students have gone to register leaving some who remained who seemed to have already registered. "I'll go register. Wait here."
"Okay~!"

The white magician headed off to register while the cannibal had more intentions than wait. Annabelle approached the boy and the Jinko. "Heey~!" She greeted cheerfully. "Are you guys entering the tournament? My friend will and she's not the type to hold back." She said. "And if you're wondering, I'm not going to participate. I mean, what chance do I have against such strong and handsome people like you?" She seductively said to Luke. "I might faint in the arena." She held her arms below her chest.

Unlike many, none of them bothered to hide their magical energies.

Anri noticed as two individuals she never seen before entered the Citadel. They were both rather busty females: one looked like a magician of sorts, and the other like a typical pretty young lady. However, something was off with them. These people were not what they seemed. Anri did not like the scent of either of them, there was something.....dark about them. Not only that, but they did nothing to hide their magical signatures. The white magician had a...sinister aura about her, unbefitting of her appearance. The other woman's aura was not much better.

As they walked up to her and Luke the white magician went to the registration counter, while the other one stayed at talked with them - much to their dismay. However, both student council members knew that it would be within their best interests not to poke any further into the matter. They simply replied to the woman, so as to keep the conversation going.

Anri begins to speak. "...Yes, we are. My friend and I have already registered for the tournament. I also see that you have a friend who will be entering the competition as well? That's...interesting." Anri knew that sometimes the kingdom contracted outside warriors to fight in the tournament, but this instance did not sit very well with her. Luke did little to respond to the woman. "Um...thank you for the compliment, ma'am."

At that moment, Lisia had finally arrived at the Citadel, a little out of breath admittedly. She immediately noticed the woman talking to her fellow student council members, and she was not pleased with what she saw in her either. "Luke, Anri, sorry I'm late. I assume you've registered already? Also, who is this woman you're speaking to?"

--------------------------
Registration Counter
--------------------------

Felicie listened to Ivadi's apology and his proposition. She was at first taken off guard by the idea, but she quickly saw the benefits of the wager. And, of course, she wasn't worried about losing to the mage. After all, while he may be heir to a powerful name, so was she. "Hmm, I see. Very well, I will accept your wager. Mark my words, Ivadi, you're going to wish you never mad this bet. You'll be the most adorable pitiful servant imaginable!" At that moment Felicie noticed a female dressed in white magician clothes walking up to the counter. What caught her attention was the strange aura coming from the woman. It was dark, and not dark like hers, it was...evil somehow. She also wonder why the woman was registering for the competition, as she obviously wasn't a student.

[KillMoves]

Annabelle noticed the students were unnerved when they answered though right after they did, another student has arrived but this one was more distinguished but unnerved also. "Wait, you're Princess Lisianthus." Annabelle immediately pointed out. "It's an honor to meet you Your Majesty." She politely bowed. "I'm Annabelle Orlov and I guess I'm just here to watch my friend fight in the tournament."

"This is a beautiful kingdom, isn't it?" The cannibal began to say. "So full of delicacies, both human and Mamono. I've been here for months yet there are still some I haven't tasted yet." She smiled at the three though it was obvious it was only warm outside.

CONCURRENTLY

While her form was being processed, Rielle noticed a boy talking to a Vampire who looked at her. She wouldn't be surprised if the monster had picked up her aura but that mattered little unless the bloodsucker did anything about it. Rielle looked back at Felicie and gave a smile.

Lisia lightly brushed her back at the woman's bow, growing ever more uncomfortable as she stayed in the presence of the stranger. "Yes...it is...nice to meet you as well Ms. Orlov. You said you had a friend who is participating in the tournament as well, correct? Who is this friend? I assume it's not a student, so is it a person who was contracted by my father or someone of high standing to participate in this year's competition?" Lisia shuddered to think that her father, or anyone of the High Council for that matter, would contract an individual who was friends with this woman.

The three students heard the woman's statement of delicacies, and were left perplexed by what she meant by the statement. Anri and Luke weren't inclined to ask the meaning behind the statement. Lisia decided to break the silence. "Human and Mamono, what exactly do you mean by that Ms. Orlov?" Lisia fears she may regret asking her question to the strange woman....

[KillMoves]

When inquired about her friend, Annabelle put a finger on her chin. "Hmmm. Well her name's Rielle Leonardo and she is a powerful magic user so does that count as high standing?"

"Human and Mamono, what exactly do you mean by that Ms. Orlov?"

...Lisia then asked.

Annabelle smiled at the question. "Why the various exotic food the men and women, of this kingdom makes of course. What else did you think I meant?" The cannibal replied, still quite vaguely. She wondered if the Princess actually hoped for another answer since it would be foolish and idiotic to ask a cannibal if he/she was in a world that shunned such practitioners.

But Annabelle couldn't help but play with such innocent people and thus she continued the conversation. "Did you know that each and every one have a different taste? Some are similar but there is a difference in there, small they may be. I plan on tasting them all so you can say I'm in sort of a journey."

Ahh, yes. There it is. The question which he was constantly answering to those new to the city. For some reason, explaining his ability never got old to him. "No, I don't mind. It's a question I'm actually asked constantly. If you're unaware, I am the Court Mage for the city, and work directly under the king. I suppose to put my ability into the most simple of terms...I see 'magic' at a fundamentally base level. I can see, feel, manipulate the very building blocks of magic itself. For that reason, my aura is different in the sense that I use magic on a completely different scale than others, making what my aura comes off of as something basically unreadable. At least...until I start actually using my more powerful spells; at which point, my aura will inflate. Those, however, are too large-scale to be used within the city, and the king has told me to only use them when defending the outer walls, in in combat away from this kingdom." He could see the Citadel now, and could see the blurry images that were undoubtedly people signing up for the tournament. "There's everyone! Just as I assumed." He blue and violet robe caught the sunlight that had finally come to greet him, and the light refracted off of his clothing, making a kaleidoscope of soft purple and blue lights around him. He smiled whimsically at the colors as they danced and moved with the flowing of his robe. This was why he enjoyed sunny days. They made his wardrobe choice incredibly fun.

Ivadi listened on as she agreed to the proposal "Hmm, I see. Very well, I will accept your wager. Mark my words, Ivadi, you're going to wish you never mad this bet. You'll be the most adorable pitiful servant imaginable!" she said confidently as Ivadi chuckes "Well I do hope you'll go easy on me from time to time." he said because in truth either way this turns out, it'll be a win win situation for him until he noticed the busty women coming here. feeling their aura, he immediately went into a defensive stance

hearing Anabelle speak about the delicacies of man and woman he shivered before leaning in close to Felicie "I do not think that she is just taking about regular food there, in fact i don't believe she is entirely omnivorous. be careful..." he whispered to her before looking back on them both in a cautious gaze

"Hm. The Criteria; a fair question lad. The King, alongside the tournament officials, will choose the candidates based on a mixture of skill, marks and effort to learn and become greater. That's as far as the students are concerned and while many will no doubt try to enter, not all will be able to participate." He took a breath while rubbing his chin.

"The Kingdom has always strived for equality between the races and the tournament will reflect that with its entrants. As there will be 32 spots within the tournament to fill, the ratio will be split 11:11:10 for male, female and mamono articipants respectively."

"As for you and the others called here you will all have guaranteed spots, that coin given to you being part of that. As for the contract, you are to partake in the tournament and give our students a real taste of what fighting outside the kingdom is like, outside of taking lives or too high a level of irrevocable harm of course. Part of your compensation will be given to you on the day before the tournament, a total sum of 2,000 gold pieces. The other part will be given to you on the day you leave, which will be the day after our annual celebration of the kingdom's founding." Tibrus took a moment to catch his breath before continuing.

"Now, after the tournament is concluded there will be a banquet to celebrate all who participated and give the students a chance to speak with both the other outside warriors and yourself lad. After that you will have 4 days of leisure to spend however you wish while we prepare for the Founding Festival, just so long as you don't break any of our laws of course." Taking another moment to pause he listened to the swordsman's question pertaining to Akarui Seijin, causing a brow to raise slightly.

"Akarui Seijin, now there's another name I haven't heard of in a while. Any records pertaining to the history of our Kingdom would be found in the main Archives. As is the nature of your question should you have gained permission to enter you will brought under escort and watched during your time there. Not many outsiders are allowed to enter for the safety of our records."

---------------------------------
Southern Road - Northbound
---------------------------------

If anyone were to look down the southern road they would see a figure garbed in a ratty old brown cloak, long enough to cover hands and feet. The figure simply kept walking despite the stares some gave. Many simply didn't pass the figure a second thought and continued on with business, the rains had stopped so stalls could be reopened.

Even as the gate to the inner section of the city came into view the figure's pace did not change.

The Swordsman listened to the Architect's explanation of his contract here in the kingdom. "I see, so that's the coin's true purpose. I was told by Ventreus Allo that the coin served as a VIP token that granted me special privileges. He said that I could think of it as payment in advance. I suppose it can serve both purposes." The swordsman continued to listen to the rest of Tibrus's words. He learned about the competition setup and the banquet, and his subsequent payment after his participation in the tournament. He then heard about the information pertaining to Akarui Seijin, a man who holds great significance within the kingdom.

The swordsman heard that he would first have to gain permission to enter the Main Archives, then he would have an escort follow him around. The swordsman wasn't sure if he wanted to go through that much trouble. He just wanted to know of the man's whereabouts as of late, as he apparently vanished some time ago. "Huh, well if that be the case...I don't suppose you know of the man's whereabouts as of late?"

The three students listened to Ms. Orlov's explanation of her words. Although, they could tell it was ingenuous, and that she had some dark underlining motive in mind while talking. They listened to the rest of her explanation, which further disturbed them. Although, they hid their anxiety from the woman. Luke nervously began to speak. "I...I see... That's rather...fascinating..."

Felicie tried not to pay much mind to the strange smile she received from the white mage woman. She then listened to Ivadi's words. "You mean that woman that's speaking to the others. Yes I agree, she's very creepy. Why do they have to be here right now?"

[hothead1021]

"Well her friend is here to register so we can at least assume they aren't going to cause trouble, yet....lets just be extra cautious, I wouldn't want to be caught by them alone." Ivadi whispered as he stayed close to Felice part of this was because he was scared and the other part was because he wanted to protect her as well. he sighed softly as he went back to the others after Felice was done registering for the tournament

Hearing Allo's explanation of his powers left Henry amused, but not exactly amazed, he just couldn't really show amazement until he actually saw it in action, "I see, that explains it, so if you see magic, then you clearly can see and describe other's magical powers in great detail...tell me though, every bit of magic is different than the other, you don't look that old, so Is it safe to assume you don't know every type yet?" he asked Allo curiously as they walked, certainly there was no way of knowing each and every type of magic in existence, specially a palestone's magic, which was every Heide citizen's pride and joy soon he heard Allo speaking about the citadel and everyone that was there to sign up, he could see them as well "seems like we are on time then" he said

quickly the sun greeted then, he saw Allo's clothes shining in the light, looking very much graceful, as the sun hit Henry however, his armor's robed sections shined a golden line in their outlines, easily seen by anyone nearby, as the it also shined a bright red light from it due to its color, his armor didn't shine as much, the traveling robes he was wearing on top of his armor shined a bright purple and golden color as he the light hit it, he never really cared for shiny clothes, but it was Heide's crafstmanship that gave each piece of clothing a beautiful look both when struck by light and not.

as they were getting closer he could feel various auras, some of which he was able to recognize as mamono's auras, one was a peculia warrior like aura, strong and agressive, most likely a Jinko, the other was a prideful dark aura most fitting of a vampire, the others he couldn't quite recognize, he could however feel the princess's aura in there, close to where the Jinko and the vampire's auras were.

Brandon remained quiet as he went to the registration desk. He does not want the attention of those women. He was aware of the two new arrivals and personally, they made him nervous. He lacks many magical abilities, but his gut is telling him that the two women are bad news. The one that makes him the most nervous is Annabelle. When she started talking about food, they way she had said it makes him nervous. He was glad that she wasn't participating in the tournament. However, the other woman that is joining makes him somewhat curious. She hadn't engage in a conversation, which may suggest that she's more professional than Annabelle. This made feel a bit better, but he'll be cautious around her. The last thing he would do is be with them by himself.

[Phantom77]

Felicie promply follows Ivadi back to the others, after her registration process finalizes. The three others notice their return, though still wary of the prescence of the two women.

Being in closer proximity of Ms. Orlov, Felicie can further sense the malice coming from this woman. While the woman may have tried to hide it with magic, it couldn't fool the young vampire. There was clearly the scent of human blood on the woman's mouth. Anri also noticed the scent, but didn't want to believe that the woman was actually a man-eater. Regardless, both mamono knew it would be wise to not call her out on it.

A bit of relief filled the princess, however, as she could sense the auras of Ventreus and Henry, whom she meet earlier, nearing the CItadel.
