The look on Setsuna's face when Rory started emitting a crimson red orb was nothing short of a "Oh, shit!" moment. And it was hilarious to the spectators which witnessed the scene. Rory's calculations were almost spot on, with Setsuna's sword colliding with the dome before bouncing off and shattering into its respective pieces, the recoil strong enough to disarm the unprepared swordsman. Then his shoulder followed up and collided with the dome itself.

The result was like touching an bare electric wire; after a few seconds, Setsuna was thrown clear of the dome, body convulsing from the shock and the pinkish-red color fading to his normal self. The damage had shut off his semblance forcibly, and there was nothing stopping his momentum as he crashed into the floor or the arena. But for all the damage he took, it still wasn't over as the aftereffects of his semblance kicked in, causing nausea and dizzy vision as Setsuna sat up, face scrunched up in pain and surprise. He wasn't going anywhere fast, so now was the time for Rory to strike. Except, if Setsuna could even look straight, he could see that Rory was in no condition to do so. So he just sat there, helplessly, waiting for an attack that would never come.

It worked... it worked! Rory had all of a second and a half to relish the fact that he'd pulled off using his Semblance as an "offensive barrier"...

... before the base of the dome touched the floor. That was when things started to go sideways. Literally. The simple fact was that Rory didn't have enough control over his Semblance to move, even slightly, while it was active; on top of that, he was the central point from which the dome radiated. So when it touched down on a solid surface while he was still falling, chaos ensued. The barrier held steady for just a moment in time -- long enough to roll ever so slightly in one direction as it touched down. It might have held longer, had the dissonant feedback shooting through Rory's Aura not been so jarring, but not even a strong Aura barrier could stave off gravity. Nor could Rory's body just ignore the invisible tethers he was projecting outwards. So when the dome rolled just a little, Rory rolled a lot, both mentally and physically. Even before the spherical barrier shattered like ruby glass Rory's body was flung sideways, forcefully, by the energies of his soul meeting harsh reality. And that was nothing compared to the bolt of vertigo that raced through him. Suddenly, getting hit by a massive sword seemed the less painful route to defeat.

He didn't remember the tumble once he hit the ground, only blacking out. The next thing he knew the world was coming back into focus with a sharp throbbing headache as someone shook him. He couldn't make out the words at first, but he could see the instructor kneeling down next to him. When hearing finally returned -- not without a shrill undertone ringing just below the surface -- and he slowly willed himself to sit upright, the words he heard didn't surprise him in the least.

"You kids did realize that was just a practice fight, right?!"





Battle Stats:
Damage received: multiple abrasions, minor concussion, Aura exhaustion
▫ Aura Status: ▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢ (0%) DEFEATED




It took a few minutes to get himself able to stand again, all while enduring the teacher's firm admonishment for "overdoing it" and repeated prompts to check in at the infirmary, but Rory eventually got his feet under him. Forget the infirmary; he'd had worse than this, and his focus was elsewhere. Still slightly dizzy, he made his way over to Setsuna and extended a hand. "Hell of a fight -- thanks for that. You alright?"




(OOC: Thanks for giving me this chance to field test Rory's fighting approach. I can tell I've got a ways to go yet but this was a serious eye opener, and you're a solid sparring partner to boot. Any time you want me in an RP thread just say the word and I'm there. :D )

"Yeah..." Setsuna groaned. After a few minutes of just sitting there, he still felt like someone had dropped a bowling ball on his head. He reached up and grasped Rory's hand in a firm grip, using him as support to pull himself up to his feet. "That was one 'shocking' move you pulled there. Didn't see that coming." he smiled. "And hold on a minute--you're the one with no aura and you're asking me if I'm alright?" Deep down, Setsuna was concerned; any semblance that instantly dropped the user's aura had to be dangerous. He stumbled a bit, still not fully recovered from the backlash. "You know, you really should heed that advice to head to the meds. That kind of aura depletion rates respect."

Thanks for the complements! :D Honestly, you deserve them way more than I do--your RP writing level is far beyond what I can come up with. Also, I'd love to carry this on beyond the fight--sorry for forgetting to respond last post. Anyway, yay for Rory's first battle!

Rory looked off to one side at the mention of heading to the infirmary. "I will, later. I've been in worse shape, honestly. You --"

"Okay, you two, time to clear off the fighting ring. We still have two more matches before class is dismissed." The teacher chastised. "Vogel, seriously -- infirmary, now. You've got blood on the back of your head from hitting the floor."

Not much time to stand and chat, it would seem. The shield fighter sighed in irritation. "If you don't mind Setsuna, I'd like to touch base with you after class. Got something I'd like your help with, if that's okay."

"Of course, Rory." Setsuna smiled, bending over to pick up the pieces of his shattered sword--and maybe part of his dignity, for being knocked on his arse like that. That still smarted, but the pain was nothing compared to the prods and jokes that were gonna be made at his expense later. "Gonna sit through the rest of this class while you head to the meds. Send me the place where you wanna meet on the scroll?" he asked.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Timeskip? While Rory gets checked up on and Setsuna watches the remaining matches. If you choose a location, you can assume Setsuna is showing up already to jump a non-essential post from me.

Rory had agreed, taking down Setsuna's number before grabbing his things and heading out of the auditorium. The moment he was gone the whispering started -- whether it was impressed or mocking was hard to tell, but the other students clearly had a lot to say about so unusual a fight.

About an hour later, Setsuna's scroll would receive a text from Rory asking him to meet up in the school's library -- enough reason to believe Rory wasn't after a no-holds-barred rematch. In fact, when Setsuna spotted him sitting at one of the back tables the shield fighter had a long gauze wrap wound around his head to hold in place a sizable bandage. He didn't seem to be in any pain though, strangely enough, at least none that was keeping him from flipping idly through one of several books he had piled up next to him. At the other student's approach Rory looked up, half-smiled, and gestured him to take an empty seat opposite himself.

If Setsuna got a glimpse at the title of the book in Rory's hand, he'd be able to guess this wasn't merely a study invitation. 'Deviations & Distress: A Study In Unstable And Usual Aura Manifestations, by Dr. I.R. Shrink'... certainly not casual reading, by any definition.

"Thanks for coming Setsuna, and thanks again for fighting me seriously out there today. It meant a lot, honestly."

Setsuna had sat through the rest of the fights, nursing his wounded body and pride, feeling his Aura heal up any scratches he received, and responding to any questions people might have. Along with the aforementioned jokes, but really, it was kinda worth it for a fight that intense. The criticism people had about Rory was mostly gone, from what he could hear--it was replaced with curiosity about that semblance of his.



Before he headed to the library, where Rory was waiting, he made a detour to his team's dorm to drop off his battered weapons, before meeting up with Rory a bit later. Setsuna thought he read a lot, but damn. Some of those books looked as thick as bricks. A sense of respect and admiration, paired with a tinge of jealousy, came floating to the front of Setsuna's mind, almost making him miss what Rory was saying.

"Oh? Uh, if it helped with your impression, I wouldn't mind doing it again. You should have heard the difference in comments before and after the fight." As Setsuna sat down, he caught a glimpse of the book Rory was reading. Come to think of it, it might have been his vision, but didn't Rory's whatever-it-is Semblance just stop suddenly? "Anyway, what was it you wanted to talk about? And don't worry, I've got no more classes today."

Rory allowed himself a faint, brief smile as Setsuna mentioned the change in commentary, though it was gone just as quick as it came. "I don't see that many other shield users in the Academy, so... well, I was hoping I could get your advice."

Closing the book and setting it to one side, Rory folded his hands in front of him and continued. "Since you respected me out there, I feel like I owe you that respect back. Your... observation... about me being under-equipped for our fight wasn't wrong -- I put up a stubborn front because I don't really want people to know this, but I don't use shields exclusively by choice. It... well, it's got to do with my Aura; I've tried everything I can think of, read everything I can find on the subject, but I just can't get it to flow into other types of weapons. Trying to force it... let's just say it creates feedback problems, similar to that Aura technique I used on your shoulder. Not fun."

"A strong defense is good to have... but if my team were ever in trouble,"
He looked down at the table. "They couldn't rely on me to fight for them. The best I could do is use my Semblance, and that's a one-hit wonder at best -- more of a stalling tactic, if I'm being painfully honest. I have some ideas for upgrading my shields that should help, but nowhere near the lien to pull it off... and even then, I have to be able to fight and protect people," He clenched his hands into fists, the frustration and shame of saying the next words flowing through him. "Not just... cower behind a barricade."

"So..." He looked back up at Setsuna, steadying himself. "I was wondering, from one shield user to another, if you had any ideas for how I could improve my fighting. Anything you can think of."

Well. This went from cheerful to deep real quick. Setsuna listened attentively to Rory's dilemma, running it through in his head, matching and comparing Rory's experience to his own, making decisions quickly and analysing his current situation. Factor in what he experienced during their practice spar...Back it up with what Rory mentioned...

"...Alright." Setsuna finally said. "Let's take this one at a time. First off, I've had similar experiences--though I can't say mine were are bad as yours. You're right that a strong defence is good to have, but it does help to have an offensive option. That being said, considering your aforementioned problem with weapons, you said you can't force your aura into weapons. Have you considered your fists? They're a part of your body, so it shouldn't be too hard. In addition, while your shields are mainly defensive, they can be altered to help in your offense. Take mine for example. While it's a shield like yours, it has options that I can fall back on if ever I get disarmed."

"Unlike me, you can't be disarmed. That means, if you use your shields for attacking, that's one advantage you have over your opponent. Shield bashing, using the surface to deflect attacks--those are techniques you exhibited in our match. However, those require you to get in close--and you don't have many options, which is why I'm suggesting using your fists as well. In addition, that short aura burst is a powerful tool, but it also requires you to get in close--which you did easily."

"You're an excellent tactician. That much is plain to see, how you managed to hit me with your semblance even while I was in burst mode. You kept a clear head, able to think of ways to maintain distance from me, even under pressure. Use that mind of yours and outsmart your opponent. Counterattack after luring them into an attack. Those shields of yours are good for deflecting, redirecting force. That leads to many opportunities like that aura burst of yours. As for your semblance... Honestly? I don't know how I can help." he finished, ashamed that he couldn't completely support Rory. Rory had potential. He could help with that. But his semblance was a completely different subject.

Rory listened attentively as Setsuna spoke, surprised to hear himself described in such glowing terms. Sure he was a diligent student, but his handicaps had more often than not left him feeling like a third-rate fighter at best. To hear someone suggest otherwise was... stunning. For a long moment after Setsuna finished Rory just sat there, taking it all in. Excellent tactician, him? He'd never really given much thought to it, just assuming that most everyone at Beacon could do such things just as well or better than he.

But there were the practicals as well, and Setsuna didn't gloss over those. Taking a breath and returning his mind to the moment, Rory nodded. "You're right. If I can augment my shields, make them into proper weapons, it'll help a lot. I'll try to focus on hand-to-hand in the meantime, and keep working on my tactics." He paused, reaching into one of his pockets. "I... haven't made many friends since coming to Vale, honestly, and I tend to be a bit standoffish around people. Thanks for seeing through that." He produced a small, simple business card and offered it to Setsuna -- it had the address and business info for 'Fabled Goods' bakery on it. "If you ever need anything, give me a call or stop by the store. I kinda live there, as well as working in the kitchen. And thanks again for the fight today -- I really do appreciate it."

"Kinda got the point after three repeated times, but can't hurt to hear it again, huh?" Setsuna chuckled, clearly pleased at the appreciation. Accepting the card, he looked straight at Rory, meeting him eye to eye. "Those people doubting you--they're clearly wrong. You're here. Standing in Beacon Academy. That in itself proves you have what it takes to stand with the rest and the best of them. And don't let your lack of combat experience, or even a proper weapon, get you down; everyone has their tools that they work with. Yours is that fast-thinking brain, the ability to think on the fly. Use it well and prove those doubters wrong."

With his speech done, he turned toward the exit, before turning back again. "If you need a hand with training, ideas for your shield, or just need a shoulder to lean on, I'll be there. Just call me." he said warmly, smiling. Outstretching his right arm, offering a handshake, he finished: "It's been a honor to meet you, Rory."

"Likewise, Setsuna." Rory took the offered hand and shook it warmly, offering a smile as he did -- a real one, not a mere pleasantry or half-gesture. With any luck, maybe Setsuna was right... maybe he really could so do something with himself at Beacon after all. Maybe it hadn't been the wrong choice.

Time would tell...
