Ivadi looked at her as she began speaking "I...I just wanted to say that perhaps my actions earlier were a bit...uncouth..." hearing this he grew curious "yes? what is it?" he asked her "If it pleases you, would you like to....make amends?" hearing that, Ivadi really didn't know what to say. he was honesty surprised how she went and apologized to him, no matter how round about it was. hearing this he sighs as he smiles just a little "You are SO lucky that I could never hold a grudge against you Felicie." he said "Despite you coming here obviously after being told out, i'm glad you can be this direct with me." he said

Henry couldn't help but notice two distinct auras approaching them, he looked at the two persons and saw Tibrus and someone who looked much like a mercenary, much like him, he saw the group speaking to him as if they had already met him, which surprised him a bit but he looked at them with interest.
'Ruecian' he though as he heard the mercenary introduce his name, 'never heard of him...' he thought for a second as he then noticed the man looking at him, rielle and Annabelle.

He looked at Ruecian as he heard his question "Greetings, my name is Henry Hansees, I come from a kingdom from a distant continent to the west,don't suppose you heard of a kingdom named Heide? anyway, I am not exactly as much a mercenary as I am simply a wanderer, but you could say that we share the same profession" he said shrugging as he then heard Ruecian mention his Dark hex magic "yes...about that" he said as he formed a dark orb of pure darkness on his hand as he manipulated it around him freely "There is nothing to worry about, since people tend to look at dark magic as trouble waiting to happen due to its unstableness" he said as he made the orb disappear in what seemed like half a second, it simply vanished and no trace of its power could be felt anymore "as for your question about me raising it...well yes, noticing the boy's burst of energy made me raise it by a bit, I don't know why I did it honestly" he said chuckling as he scratched the back of his head, "I don't exactly know the details as to why he bursted like that, so I can't exactly help you there"

After Ivadi had stormed off and the Vampire being scolded into following him, another two people arrived at the Citadel. One the duo recognized as Tibrus Heatherman, the man whose relative built the castle while the other had a dark-colored clothing and armor reminiscent of Zipanguese. Both Rielle and Annabelle looked at the latter rather disappointed. They both knew most people from Zipangu were troublemakers. They could only hope he was not a good-hearted troublemaker.

The Zipanguese man greeted the students before turning to Henry and the two Orderites. The dark-magic user introduced himself first and the cheerful cannibal was next. "Hi I'm Annabelle Orlov. I journey around the world tasting various exotic cuisines this world had to offer. I'm currently here right now to support my friend in the upcoming tournament." She pointed at her white-clad companion.
"Hello I'm Rielle Leonardo." The White Witch smiled. "I'm one of the outside participants in the tournament. Nice to meet you Mr. Ruecian."

"And as for that Ivadi boy..." Rielle continued. "Some Vampire went a little too far with the teasing but I don't expect anything else from a stuck-up."

MEANWHILE

Assassin jogged and leaped through the rooftops of various buildings leading to the Luminous Citadel. It was not long before the great castle came into view. He had heard that these were the headquarters of the most elite troops of Zauberheim. While to a regular citizen this would be a safe haven with the kingdom's greatest warriors blocking them from danger, Assassin only saw the elite troops as potential enemies. He was never a big fan of the military but he hoped he was wrong. He hoped they would come to his aid when the time comes but he knew the universe was not and would never be that kind.

The hooded man soon reached a roof overlooking the Citadel courtyard. There he saw a group of people conversing amongst themselves. His heart skipped a beat, however, when he saw a woman in white magician clothing and a beautiful golden-haired girl among the group. He quickly brandished his crossbow and attached its scope, immediately taking aim. He wondered if the other people with them are their allies but he thought that that could not be as no monster would even think of becoming their ally unless they were tricked.

Though one thing prevented him from pulling the trigger. The two villainesses' companions. Assassin knew he cannot risk becoming a wanted man in Zauberheim lest he must find a way to get Peter out of the kingdom and convince him to do so. But the fact remained that if he could take down at least one of them, many innocent lives would be spared. Assassin silently debated with himself, his crossbow still aimed at the White Witch.

Ruecian listened to the Hex Swordsman's introduction. He supposedly from a far away kingdom called Heide, which was very militaristic. He didn't know much about it, but he recalled someone in his life talking about it occasionally. "I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with your homeland, but I have heard of it here and there." Rue then saw as the Hex user manifested an orb of dark energy in his hand. Henry then made it vanish as quickly as he made it, leaving not even so much as a trace of the energy. Ruecian then listened as Henry stated that he didn't really know why he rose his power in response to Ivadi's, and that he wasn't entirely sure what led to the boy's outburst. "What, so you just did it out of instinct? Interesting."

Rue then listened as the two women introduced themselves to him. The blonde one was named Annabelle Orlov, a young woman who partakes in tasting the various foods the world has to offer. Ruecian knew that there was apparently underlining malice in Annabelle's words. The one clad in the white magician outfit was known as Rielle Leonardo, who as he guessed was another outsider hired to participate in the tournament. He then heard her say that the reason for Ivadi's anger was Felicie, the vampire he met with the group earlier today. She had supposedly toyed with the boy's feelings a tad bit too much, and that triggered his outburst.

Hearing that, the mercenary made a slight chuckle as he began speaking again. "Ah, I see. So that's what happened. Understandable I suppose, no one likes having their affections played with. My apologies, Mr. Hansees, I thought that you might be the reason for the boy's anger. The reason for that is the fact I felt your energy rushing up same as his. But that wasn't the case it seems. I assume Ivadi and the vampire are sorting things out now?" He turned to Lisia and Anri, who are fellow members of the student council alongside Felicie. "Yes." Lisia responded, "Anri and I chewed her out, and now she and Ivadi should be making amends. Such behavior is not tolerated within the student council." Anri then begins to speak to the swordsman. "So, I assume you came here with Sir Tibrus in order to register correct? The counter is right over there, just sign your name and you'll be good to go."

Ruecian glances at the counter that had the notebook Tibrus spoke of. All he needed to do was sign his name and place the coin on the sheet and he'd set to participate in the tournament. "Yes, I know, Sir Tibrus instructed me on what to do. I suppose I should go ahead and register then." He then turns to Rielle and Henry. "It's nice to make your acquaintances, I hope to met you in battle at the coming tournament." Rue then leaves for the counter to register for the competition.

====================================================================================================================================

Felicie was a still a bit embarrassed, still having to apologize and show humility in such a fashion. Nonetheless, if it improved her situation, she'd take it. "Um..yes well, thank you for understanding. And again, sorry for everything that happened." She then looked at the drink Ivadi was holding. "You certainly like sweet things, don't you? I don't suppose I could have a sip, just to see what's so great about it?"

Ivadi smiled softly as Felicie started to speak "Um..yes well, thank you for understanding. And again, sorry for everything that happened." she said as he nods "It's alright...and thank you for understanding." he said as she looked at his drink "You certainly like sweet things, don't you? I don't suppose I could have a sip, just to see what's so great about it?" she asked as Ivadi handed it to her "Sure I don't mind, it's quite good and it's a little bit bubbly to." he said happily as the flavor was cherry

Tibrus was not one to eavesdrop on others, regardless of reason or occasion. That being the case, he was relieved to know that his cause for it this instance was for naught. Giving a nod to himself he left the hall without alerting the pair. It was about time he made his way to the castle after all.

Although the King was known for his patience, Tibrus had begun to notice that it seemed to wane within the last year or so. If it had been within the last few months the Architect would have paid it no mind and simply chalked it up to planning for the tournament and festival. As that isn't the case, it certainly struck the man as odd.

If there was one thing he hated it was not having all the pieces. He wasn't sure of anything however, so he kept such thoughts to himself as he made his way to the castle.

---------------------------------
Main Road - Northbound
---------------------------------

After reaching the crossroads and turning Northward the young mage eagerly led a man he had been told was the legendary Cloaked Wanderer himself! His expectations however had been left wanting. The man in the cloak barely reached above 6 feet, making him shorter than his Majesty the King. And another thing, that cloak looked far too ratty and old for anyone of high status. Surely a person with a reputation like the Cloaked Wanderer would be adorned with garb of far higher quality.

Speaking of reputation, the mage had yet to feel anything close to the fabled power as told in mamono circles. Rather the man following him had mana reserves little higher than the average untrained civilian. His aura may have felt a little colder than most, like a brisk breeze on an evening in autumn but it was barely there at all.

The young man shook his head, it didn't matter really. The figure had the coin in hand and as soon as he was before his Majesty it would be concluded whether this person was the real deal or simply a fake that wished to impersonate a legend.

Hearing the light sound of ruffling cloth behind him he looked at the one following, only to see the figure walking calmly as before. Thinking he had imagined it the mage turned back to the road and smiled, he could see the castle ahead...

Ventreus had sat back and watched this spectacle unfold. Everything from the exchanges and introductions, to one young student's aura explosion and storm-off at the lips of one of the more interesting people present, to said person following him, to the joining of the group by the Ghost of Arcana and Tibrus. A smile was plastered on his face as the drama and havoc unfolded. He almost wanted it to co tinue, but being a professional, he would have to stop it somewhere. Fortunately, everything calmed down before he needed to get involved. He had been addressed several.times, at which he responded with just a nod. He would look from each person and back again as conversation continued, until a nagging feeling gnawed as his conscious.

Some things was...off...in the immideate vicinity. He blinked, and his sorcerer's sight returned. He saw the multiple motes of unknown nature that belonged to those he didn't know, as well as the very familiar motes of the ones he did. However, there was...malice...in the area. He focused on it, and as he found the hotspot, his smile begin to fizzle and die. His eyes trained on two of the new coming females, one more than the other. He'd heard her name. Annabelle. He walked directly through the group of people, pushing or weaving past them, his steps having purpose, meaning. He stood in front of the two females, his face little more than a glare trained on the innocent-looking girl. A feeling of distrust and discontent flourished in his body language, and his tone was just as solemn. "You there. I would suggest you keep whatever 'activities' that some of those motes entitile you to do under control. Don't let your urges get the best of you." He kept his words vague. Only he really knew what he saw, but he had a deep-seeded reason to distrust what his eyes saw. As well as a serious demeanor, Allo's aura was now visible, readable, and it was a swirling torrent of red. The magic fluxuation was still somehow minimal, only noticeable by the most trained in sensing such things, but his emotion was very present in his aura now."I know almost all of what happens in these city walls, and that includes around graveyards, as well as morgues. Try anything shifty, and I won't hesitate to turn whatever magic you expend into a variable backlash of uncontained energy."

He turned away from the girl, his aura changing from a swirling torrent of red, to a calm and flowing blue, and once more changing to a clear, uncolored slate, and looked back to the group of people. How many people had he been told were coming from out of the city? Four? Five? He only counted one...two...three...who all was missing here?

[KillMoves]

The light-hearted conversations continued until Ventreus Allo started walking towards the two Orderites, pushing and weaving past some people likely catching everyone's attention. The two women noticed the court mage incoming but held their ground, not showing fear but excitement. Ventreus stood before them.

"You there. I would suggest you keep whatever 'activities' that some of those motes entitile you to do under control. Don't let your urges get the best of you."

...the court mage said, his words vague and his voice solemn but both Rielle and Annabelle knew the man was onto them.
"My, whatever do you mean Mr. Allo?" Rielle asked in an intentionally faked innocent tone.

"I know almost all of what happens in these city walls, and that includes around graveyards, as well as morgues. Try anything shifty, and I won't hesitate to turn whatever magic you expend into a variable backlash of uncontained energy."

...Ventreus continued.

"That would imply I do questionable things in the graveyard and morgues." Rielle replied. "That would also imply you are against such practices. Are you Order-aligned Mr. Allo?" The White Witch admitted she was having fun in pushing buttons.

MEANWHILE

While Assassin debated with himself, his target was blocked by a person in robes. Presumably a mage of sorts. The hooded man continued to watch and saw the mage seemed to be standing up against the White Witch. Apparently the mage has sensed the two villains' evil nature but that was of little concern to Assassin. What mattered to him was whether to eliminate the women or not and thus put an end to their dark spree.

He came to a decision. He put away the crossbow and continued watching the group. He figured Rielle and Annabelle would most likely sense the incoming bolt and thus avoid in time, making him a criminal without achieving anything. He lets out a deep exhale. His thoughts shifted from the two vile women to the Luminous Citadel. He wondered how he would be able to enter without raising any eyebrows.

Seeing Ruecian walking off to register surprised him as he didn't exactly knew it was there he had to register, seeing as things were pretty entertaining here nonetheless he then saw Allo questioning the women, he paid no mind as he then turned to Lisia and her council members "well I'll go with Ruecian and register, as much as I'd like to keep talking to you" he said to them as he then turned to Allo "sorry to intrude Allo, but i'll go an register so we don't waste time, is that alright?" he asked him, although he didn't really need an answer as he then followed Ruecian to the counter

He managed to cautch up to Rue and "So Ruecian isn't it? so where are you from exactly? by the looks of your clothes you look zipangunese but you never know." he asked him with a friendly tone.

[DJ Pon3]

Ventreus turned his head to look back at the girl. "What are you on about? The order doesn't have anything to do with this. You should know very well I'm speaking of those motes of decay I can see in your essence. If you even bother using that vile type of magic, I'll make sure you immideatly regret it." He wasted no more breath on the sinister-moted female, and instead let his attention lock to the group that was in front of him. "So, you lot! Competing in the tournament. Does anyone even know what the prize for victory is?" He posed a question. He wasn't entirely sure himself. He'd not asked about it, nor did it raise any concern until now. Just WHAT were they all fighting for? Prestige, clearly, but there was probably more, right? He ended up missing this event his graduating year, as that was the year he'd been pulled to be the Court Mage for the king.

Ruecian made his way to the registration counter after leaving the group. He noticed that Allo’s aura started to build up, but paid it no mind as it dissipated soon after. When reaching the reception desk he pulled out the coin he had been keeping in his pocket. As he was about to show it to the receptionist, Henry caught up with him and asked about where he hails from. Ruecian decides to indulge the man.

“My garb is Zipangunese-esque, however, I myself am not of Zipangunese descent. Although I did spent a great deal of my life there.”
The swordsman shows his coin to the receptionist, who responds to it with intrigue. The receptionist was a lizardwoman dressed in formal attire, she recognized the coin as a sign of special entry in the tournament. “Ah, The Ghost of Arcana, I see you’ve made on time for the festival competition.” She then looks at Henry, who she suspects is also here for the same reason. “And I see Henry Hansees is here as well, so you’ve both come. Good, I can register both of you at once. Just sign your names and place your coins on the paper. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Ruecian has the sun coin and Henry has the moon coin, correct? If you both are ready I’ll take them now.” The receptionist opens the notebook roster and places it in front of the warriors.

Rue turns to Henry with coin in hand. “So, you have a coin as well? I guess it’s meant for all special participants. Well, shall we?” Rue begins to sign his name on the paper. He then places his sun coin on the sheet, which begins to glow. After removing it, a sun tattoo is shown to have manifested on the paper. Rue then hands the pen to Henry now that he’s finished.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The group hears as Sir Allo warns Rielle of the consequences of any hostile intent and practice of forbidden magic. He then turns to the students and asks them about the prize for the tournament. They wondered why the Court Mage would ask such a question. They all assumed it was just prize money, bragging rights, and perhaps a chance to join the Royal Guard on the spot. Lisia speaks up, curious about what Sir Allo means.

“I was under the impression we just won money or special privileges, like being able to join the Royal Guards without first going through their training regiments.”

Anri decides to chime in as well. “I assume you have information as to what else we could win, seeing as how you’re one of the key individuals in the tournament staff this year.”

The students decide to wait for Ventreus’s answer, now intrigued by his words.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Felicie takes a sip of the beverage she had received from Ivadi. It was cherry flavored, much to her liking, and quite fizzy as well. “This drink isn’t half bad. I may give my patronage to this place more often.” She then looks at Ivadi and decides to ask about the mana energy he expelled during his fit of rage.

“Anyway, that was quite a large amount of energy you generated. I’m actually impressed, honestly. Where on Earth were you hiding it all this time? I was comparable to Lisia’s or even Anri’s.”

Ivadi smiled softly as he watched her drink the soda “This drink isn’t half bad. I may give my patronage to this place more often.” she said "Oh really? that's great to her, i could get you some later." he said before she asked about earlier “Anyway, that was quite a large amount of energy you generated. I’m actually impressed, honestly. Where on Earth were you hiding it all this time? I was comparable to Lisia’s or even Anri’s.” when asked that, Ivadi thought for a moment before giving her his answer "Well you see Felicie, in martial arts there's a saying "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the saying there is supposed to teach that you should never show off your true potential until you really need to. that way your battles will go easier as your foes underestimate you. I applied this teaching to my mana by suppressing it myself until the tournament...that is..well...before earlier" he said blushing a little in embarassment

[DJ Pon3]

Allo shrugged as a bewildered look crossed his face as the princess pointed out how he should have more information due to being part of the staff. "Well it's not like I was GIVEN papers on everything that's happening concerning the tournament. I was told that I was to be an official, and to go meet with the outside competitors. I wasn't even told what type of official I was supposed to be! Am I a referee? Am I an advice coach? Am I a tournament judge? No one told me. I still have to ask the king a lot of the specifics." He sort of waved his arms around erratically as he spoke. He had only recently been told he was going to be part of the tournament, and what he'd been told was fairly brief. He would ask the king about his role specifically later on, when he got the chance to. For now though, it seemed as though he was somewhat stuck with being the teenage keeper.

Henry listened to Rue's explanation, he had an amused expression as he heard it, "I thought so" he said as Rue finished explaining as he then saw him registering right after, he nodded in agreement as the lizardwomen mentioned his name "good to know my name is known" he said chuckling a bit with a friendly tone as he then saw Rue finish signing it and handing him the pen.
He took the pen while also taking out the moon coin out of his pocket as he placed it on the table as he signed his name on the paper, "So...where do you come from? you already know where I come from so I guess its only fair I'd guess" he said to Rue as he finished signing it and giving the paper to the lizardwoman

[Phantom77]

Rue heard Henry say that he figured that he wasn’t of Zipangunese descent. Not surprising as Ruecian didn’t exactly have the feature of a man hailing from that region, save for part of his attire. After giving the pen to Henry the hex user began signing his name on the roster. During which he asked another question to Rue, this time asking where he truly is from. However, this was a question that Ruecian may not be able to answer at all.

In actuality the man didn’t have a clear indication of where he was from. His earliest memories are being one of the unfortunate victims who were negatively affected by the Lost Deamon Crusades. “Would you be disappointed if I didn’t give a straight answer? I’m afraid it’s rather…complicated for me to give one for your question.”

“Anyway, I think I’ll back to the group for a little longer. I assume you’ll do the same?” Ruecian then turns to walk back to the main hall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The student council members listen to Sir Allo’s explanation as to how he himself doesn’t know much about the specifics of his position as a tournament official. He waved his arms as he spoke, which the students thought made him look silly.

Lisia began to speak. “I’m sure your role in this will become clear soon enough. This was all orchestrated by my father after all, so there’s no reason to fret or doubt.” Anri decided to also reassure the court mage. “I’m we’ll find out what the prize will be when everything for the festival is settled. If not, we’ll just have to se when the tournament starts.”

Luke thinks to himself, ‘I wonder how Felicie and Ivadi are doing. I hope they we’re able to smooth things over.’
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Felicie speaks after listening to Ivadi reasoning behind hiding the bulk of his power. “Is that right? That sounds a lot like something Anri would say. Now that I think about it, both you and she are skilled in hand-to-hand combat. It’d be interesting to see you both fight in the tournament.”

Having the group in her mind, she notices that they’ve been away for a while. “You know, Ivadi, perhaps we should head back to the others. They’re probably worried about us by now.” She hands the young mage back his drink after speaking. “By the way….is our bet still on?” She began to blush as she asked the question to young Ambrosius.

“Is that right? That sounds a lot like something Anri would say. Now that I think about it, both you and she are skilled in hand-to-hand combat. It’d be interesting to see you both fight in the tournament.” she said as ivadi nods "Yes, i've been curious as to how our battle will turn out. it'll be fun." he said smiling when Felicie spoke again “You know, Ivadi, perhaps we should head back to the others. They’re probably worried about us by now.” she asked as Ivadi nods "Yeah, we have been gone for a while." he said “By the way….is our bet still on?” she asked with a blush as Ivadi blushed softly as well "umm...yes....it is...but this time.....if I win.....i'd like to still be your servant... he said with a slightly deeper blush as he always knew that he would prefer to be the passive one in the relationship

[Scrapmaster]

Henry frowned upon hearing Rue as he sighed right after, "No problem friend, you may tell me when you're comfortable" he said to him as he walked with Ruecian back to the group "and miss the fun? I will go back too" he said chuckling, "do tell me though, you have quite the peculiar aura, since you are called the Ghost of Arcana then, no doubt you use arcane magic" he said as he then glanced at Rue's sword "while also utilizing swordsmanship into the mix?" he asked him.

[Phantom77]

"Yes you can say that, much in the way you implore hex magic." The mercenary noticed Henry glancing at his blade, a katana-like saber with western characteristics. "Yes, I do combine my magic with my swordplay. It's rather effective, and it gets the job done relatively quickly." As the mercenary nears the group of students, he notices Ventreus discussing something with them. He waved his arms during his explanation, which the mercenary thought made him look foolish somewhat.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the students conversed with the court mage, a gathering of magical aura started to fill the vicinity. Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the center of the floor. From it appeared a royal official, dressed in garb similar to Ventreus. The student's attention immediately shifts to the official, caught off guard by his unexpected entrance. Lisia recognizes the mage as a messenger of sorts for her father the king. "You're one of the court officials. Why have you come here so abruptly? Does my father need to speak to me?" Lisia was aware that it had been a while since school let out for the day, and that she was behind schedule for her business at the Citadel. She knows that as of late her father has been strangely impatient, and while she at first paid no mind to it, she was beginning to worry.

The official turns to the princess and bows humbly before speaking. "Greetings princess, I hope you are fine this day. As for you question, I'm afraid I didn't come here for you. My business is with Sir Allo, as I have a message for him from the king himself." He then turns to Ventreus, "His Majesty has instructed you to bring Ruecian, Henry Hansees, and Rielle Leonardo to his throne room post haste. He wishes to meet with them in person as soon as possible." Before the official leaves Lisia begins to ask him another question. "But wait, why does my father want to meet with them so suddenly?" The official answers her question without even looking in her general direction. "I'm afraid that information is private. If you will excuse me, I must be off." With that the official vanishes in the same magic circle he had appeared in.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Felicie is rather surprised by Ivadi's words. "You mean, you would still be willing to be my servant even if I were to lose to you?" She blushes yet again, but this time tries to regain her composure and usual haughty presence. "Well, I certainly can't blame you. I mean after all, who wouldn't what to be my servant. You're very lucky to gain this opportunity, remember that. Uh...not that anyone else is more well suited for the job, that is..." She then turns in the direction of the other council members. "Well, let's be off. We wouldn't want to keep them waiting, right?"

[hothead1021]

Ivadi watches as Felicie reacted "You mean, you would still be willing to be my servant even if I were to lose to you?" she bushed but she then regained her composure and her usual haughty apperance. he had to admit, she was pretty hot when she acted like this "Well, I certainly can't blame you. I mean after all, who wouldn't what to be my servant. You're very lucky to gain this opportunity, remember that. Uh...not that anyone else is more well suited for the job, that is..." he chuckled softly "I'll e sure to keep that in mind milady." he said with a bow before Felice spoke again "Well, let's be off. We wouldn't want to keep them waiting, right?" she said as Ivadi agrees "of course milady." he said smiling as he returned with the others

[Scrapmaster]

Henry listened to Rue's explanation and was quite surprised, "I see, fighter who use utilize both magic and swordsmanship are quite rare these days" he said as he chuckled in the end as he then saw ventreus talking to the rest of the group, he saw the mage come in as he and Rue arrived, he kept silent as the mage explained his purpose there to Ventreus and Lisia, after the mage left he shrugged as he then joined up with the group again, "Hmm I didn't think the king would want to meet the outside competitors in person...im quite...honored actually" he said as he then looked at Lisia, "May I ask what is wrong Lisia? you seemed worried back there" he asked her, clearly noticing she was worried, although he didn't quite knew about what exactly.
