Frank kept his well trained eyes on Jack, defending himself against the incoming attacks. This first year was fast, faster than Frank. He'd have to start imbuing his limbs with aura to have a chance at hitting him, Jack was obviously well accustomed to hand to hand fighting, and speed mattered a hell of a lot more than power in those situations. Frank would either need to get lucky, get off balance, or...

As Jack jabbed at Frank with lightning speed, Frank kept track of the frequency of the hits. He began moving his hands before Jack had truly begun his punch, which should allow him to properly pinch the limb and pull Jack to the ground

Jack was not expecting the grab, and purposefully kept his face as nonchalant as it had been before the guy'd gotten his arm locked up. Frank had some damn good timing. Shit. Nothing for it then, it was time to get funky! He let himself be pulled in, and actually got himself about an inch from the other dude's face. At which point he puckered his lips, made a drenchingly wet kissy noise, and then used the solid grip and stance his opponent possessed as a fulcrum. Pushing off with his legs and putting his whole core into the jump, he flipped himself so that while Frank was yanking down, he was putting himself directly overhead and punching down hard on the back of his skull with his free hand. Ideally, the momentum of his strike would bring his whole weight down on Frank and tear his arm loose from the grip, ending with a landing roll on top of and away from the Second Year.

"Gross." That's all Stella said while continuing to gaze at the two boys fighting, noticing that another idiot had joined the two girls standing up.

Suddenly, a holographic ring formed around her and a voice came out. Milady. Are you going to tell him?

"We'll see. For now, we watch."

Of course. The ring vanished.

Colton let out a yawn, he grabbed his briefcase and took out his gauntlets to give them a check before putting them back. The girls seem to be quiet or not interested in talking. He sees another girl, but pays no attention to her.

Victoria ran her hands through her lengthy crimson ponytail and smiled at the newcomer. "Oh, not at all. I'm Victoria en Fuego, and this is Honoria Angel. We're friends with the nimble one, Jack, in the ring. And I haven't got a clue, I'm not much for fighting, and while I know Jack's talented, this other boy seems to know what he's doing."

"Ha! Jack'll kick his ass!" Honoria laughed. "I've never seen him lose, he's just that good!" She squatted down in her white track shorts, shaking her pink tee a bit to try and cool off from her run. "By the way, who're you?"

"Colton, Colton Joule, pleasure to meet you both," Colton swishes his head towards the fight before looking at them again. "Never lost huh? I guess he never met the underground then, the people who fight there are just monsters and scumbags, I once saw a professional world class boxer get beaten to a pulp by someone from the underground, and that someone was not even considered strong. Then again with how he is doing, he might stand a chance in that cruel arena."

"That sounds dreadful. However, Jack isn't a boxer, and I do know he's trained under all sorts of world-renowned martial artists. I understand he's quite good. But then again, what do I know?" Victoria laughed, her voice pleasant and warm, her demeanor fitting seamlessly with the atmosphere of the day.

Honoria looked interested, her attention now divided between the fight and the newcomer. "Underground fights? That sounds awesome!"

"Bro are you really trying that fancy bullshit with me?" Frank didn't notice the punch coming from behind, but he didn't need to. Or at least, he countered it without realizing it. As soon as Jack left the ground but for some reason allowed himself to stay in Frank's grip, he overcharged his chest, back, shoulder and arm, and whipped the younger student back down. He felt a fist collide with the back of his head, Jack must have been going for a knockout punch. Clever, and damned quick to be able to get there so quickly while jumping. Still, Frank slammed the younger student back down towards the ground, so it didn't connect with near the full power it would have otherwise.

Colton shakes his head.
"It isn't, they don't care if you are man woman or child, as long as you want to throw blows, they would let, you win you get cash, you don't... Its lucky you live," Colton grids his teeth, echoes of a young boy roaring who kept fighting in the underground, a man shouting orders behind him as cheers and boos surrounded him. Colton had no choice, he wants did it for his family, he lead them down the path of poverty.

In the outside view, it looks like Colton is just lost in space.

Whoof! Well, so much for that idea...he was really going to have to work on his aura modification, that shit came in handy...luckily he'd managed to brace himself and not get winded, but that slam must have looked damn silly. Never let them see you wince, though.

Grinning like a devil, he winked at Frank as he popped up into a crouch and then powered forward, driving his fist right at the boy's exposed gut. "Just testing the waters, dude!" he explained, through immaculate pearly whites. His other hand grabbed ahold of his opponent's left arm and held it in place, so that Frank couldn't let go and try to drop it for a block. The end game was to have his trapped arm yanking the hands holding it up and away, keeping the body open for a brutal blow that was to carry the other boy off the ground, where he could then be thrown a few feet.

"That sounds..." "Slightly less awesome?" "...dreadful." Victoria finished, leaving Honoria to watch the fight. The redhead looked at the ground for a moment, her discomfort at the thought plain enough to see. When she raised her eyes, Colton was just sort of staring into the air, not focusing on anything. "How do you know about such things, if it's not impolite to ask?"

"That is a topic I rather not discuss with people I'm currently unfamiliar with," Colton said in a gloomy tone before grinning as his focus went back to the fight. He found two people who would fun to spar with

Okay, it was time to stop joking around. The kung fu had been fun but he needed more practice before he was ready to bust it out in a real fight, and Jack was too skilled up close like this for Frank to be able to match him hand to hand. He was good, but his talents didn't lie in that particular area. In fact, they didn't lie in any particular area, he had to get an advantage some other way.

Frank saw Jacks move coming, and replied with a wink of his own. "Next you're going to tell me you aren't actually left hande-" He was cut off as the blow hit him in his braced gut. It sent him backwards a few feet, right into his impaled weapons. He rolled to his feet, letting the momentum of the punch carry him to where he needed to be. Frank grabbed the longer of the two weapons and dashed forward, keeping a mid guard and wary of the boy using his semblance to dash around him.

Jack straightened, holding his hands out wide. "You seem a decent fellow. I hate to beat you."

He waited, letting Frank come for him, knowing just how much his opponent's reach had grown. Definitely something to watch out for, and nothing he could play around with. At least not in the usual way, not with someone this good. He almost found himself wanting The Bomb. Almost. A quick glance over to Victoria not paying attention to him and...who the hell was that tall guy? His eyes hardened imperceptibly. This wouldn't do. This wouldn't do at all.

His mind fully back on the fight for the hope of what came after, he stopped jawing and dropped into a wide crouch, almost catlike in its proportions. Bringing his glow to life, he shot along the ground on all fours, kicking up dust, moving first to the left, then the right, blazing a path straight to Frank's left, before suddenly changing direction the moment he sprang into the air. Coming across Frank's front while in a guarded whirl, he ended in a series of rapid-fire spinning kicks all over the head and upper body in the opposite direction from which his attack had originally come.

Victoria had been about to apologize for intruding when Honoria grabbed her arm and pointed, cheering wildly. "Lookit that!" And she had to admit, the sight was impressive. How Jack managed to even move like that boggled the mind.

Colton was not really that amazed, though he did stared saucer-eyed. But it was no blank expression, he watched every twtich of muscle, every movement every blow every breath.

Frank saw the attack coming, he knew Jack would be switching directions at the last second, it was only a matter of where he would go. Frank took one perfect step, dipping his sword into a mid guard, ready to move if necessary. Turns out it wasn't necessary, Jack darted back and forth, no more than a blur, but he ultimately shook back into clarity in front of Frank, kicking from the opposite direction. Jack would have gotten inside his guard had it not been for his step backwards. As it was, Frank managed to slough off Jacks attack, partly because the attack itself was so ridiculous. If he thought that showy crap would work now that Frank was in his element, he had another thing coming.

With Jack in such a vulnerable state, Frank brought his sword around in a simple side strike. Normally he would have been more subtle, but with Jack how he was, it would take a miracle for him to avoid it.

Barely keeping his cool as his assault backfired, he grunted a little with the hit and did the best he could. No pain, no gain, right? While still in the air as the swing followed through, he grabbed onto the actual blade, letting his aura take the punishment, and pulled himself forward with all his strength. Letting go of the weapon as he lashed out with both feet at Frank's now unprotected head, he cut loose with as many heel-strikes to the skull as he could get off before he was physically crashing into the guy.

Holy hell, Jack may be an idiot but he was damn good at it, using his aura as a resource was a calculated move, even if the end result was needlessly flashy. He bore the brunt of the attacks well, managing to get an arm up in between him and the flying feet for the last kicks. But damn did the hurt! It was easy to forget that Jack was strong with how fast he was, people tended towards one or the other usually. But Jack was strong, and he did manage to bring them both to the ground. Frank was in the process of shaking off the hits, his movements lethargic and imprecise. He grabbed Jack in a bear hug with both of them in the dirt, if only to buy him some time.

"So how long before we actually start having gay sex in front of the girls?" Jack laughed, as he rolled around on the ground in Frank's bear hug.

"I WOULDN'T TAKE PICTURES I SWEAR!" Honoria shouted, then whispered, "I'd totally take all the pictures." to Victoria, who cringed so hard she almost pulled a muscle in her neck.

"At least buy me dinner first!" Jack continued, headbutting his opponent and snapping his entire body in a jacknife motion, aiming to free himself and get back on his feet.

"Hopefully never. I'd rather get that going in private, just the two of us."
The bearhug gave Frank enough time to regain his senses and recover, but Jack managed to get another hit in and slip away just before he was ready. He gave up on the grapple, choosing to instead pop up to his feet as well, slowly circling his way towards the shorter of the swords he'd impaled in the ground earlier in the fight.

Back on his feet, Jack was feeling much better about the situation. As much of a dork as Honoria was being, this had to look good for Victoria. And really, that was what mattered. Stella was too much of a pain in the ass to want to impress, anyway.

"Why be shy about it, it's not like Beacon has a Don't Ask Don't Tell policy." Jack laughed, blinking while on his guard to make sure he was between Frank and his weapon. "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word."

"Maybe you just haven't proven to me that you're worth it yet. Wouldn't want to sacrifice my chastity for anything less than the best." Frank circled as he joked, but Jack matched him inch for inch. There was no way he'd win trying to juke past, so he would just have to go with raw power instead. They were similarly sized but Frank had a bit of muscle mass on him. He lunged forward and dipped a knee into the ground, driving his shoulder into Jack's legs as he looped his arms around to lift and slam. Once past he would make a grab for the sword.

"Oh you have no idea what you're missing, sugar-pie!" Jack laughed, his eyes twinkling. Okay, he was starting to like Frank again, the guy did have a sense of humor.

Man, Jack really had to add aura manipulation to his repertoire. He just hadn't found a teacher good enough and willing to take him under a wing yet...maybe letting Frank win this one was a good idea...he could always impress Victoria another time, and hey, she seemed like the type who would go for a sportsmanlike dude. And if Frank was willing to give him some pointers...

When the 2nd year went in for the throw, he didn't have much choice but to make the best of a rough situation. With his opponent's arms safely occupied, he drilled the ever-loving shit out of his skull with his elbows before being hefted onto his back behind his opponent. A quick kip after a well-formed landing had him on his feet and turning into a loose guard just as Frank reached his weapon.

Francis swept past the weapon, grabbing it as he went. He kept going, until he was on the far side of the arena. From here, he took a one handed guard stance while pulling out his scroll with the other hand and quickly navigating to his locker app. He hit the "current location" button for both of his lockers, waiting for them to crash down. He was opening the unlocked door of the first before it had finished touching ground, getting the second open a second later. He grinned and called out to Jack, "I have plenty of toys we can play around with, it's your choice babycakes."

After rejecting the few advances of those... unwelcome, Graem arrived at Podium Park as Jack held Frank's (two-handed) sword. Though reckless, it is to be expected due to his [Jack's] current "attire", I suppose. She was wearing her summer wear, save for her black tights, stylized high heel boots, and her designer handbag carried on her right forearm. Her long hair was curled in a way that brought to mind a bouquet of small, grey roses at a bird eye's view, if looked at from the front. She sauntered down the stairs with effortless grace, watching them trading quips and blows, and her steps noticeable, due to her heels. She thought they were serious about their... sexual implications, though they were simply jests, in truth (she doesn't know that, though). Looking at their combat wear, she, in silence, pondered about their strengths, if you could call it that, among other things, as she walked past their spectators unobtrusively, an audible "Pardon the intrusion." in her indifferent courtesy.

Some of the bandits she observed had fought in rather suggestive armor, and, though she wasn't affected at all, some of her relatives, and guards were quite tempted, at times. Those choices often led them to their near-deaths, so she assumes those are some form of... advantage? Then again, those don't mean much, especially to Grimm, and to those who can hit vital spots. Back to reality, both fighters seem to be wearing casual clothes. Not much defense there, but they are sparring, so it is not a big deal. She can't judge them based on what they have available. They could excel in other things, as far as I'm concerned. They battled with some sense of savagery, all the while exchanging sentences that might spark some controversies. She has witnessed same-sex relationships at her family's dining table. She doesn't mind, since it doesn't harm others, but some of her relatives show... visible amounts of discomfort, while the scenes take place. She was often asked to tell them, politely, to basically... "tone down the gay" as it were. After that tangent, she thought about the combatant's fighting styles. The algae-eyed sword-wielder appeared to be more capable, his build, and poise attesting to just that. The more... playful blonde is about equal to his height, and musculature. He seems to be reckless, but his displays of skill proved otherwise, somewhat. Who knows, perhaps he has a few surprises up his sleeve.

He's quick. (referring to Jack's rapid-fire spinning kicks) She then recalled her attempts on how she would combat these types foes. I could use their speed against them, then again, that might be difficult. She continued to formulate plans against foes mentioned, thinking about her experiences with such opponents. In regards to the fight, she did not draw any conclusions as to who might win, simply letting the scene take place. She sat on the bench nearest to the fight, with her hands on her lap, and crossed ankles, close to not any spectator in particular, as the sword-wielder summoned his lockers via scroll. After he finished speaking, she raised her voice enough for both combatants to hear. "Keep those in the bedroom, you two." This will likely come as an off-handed joke, though she thought that this needs to be said. Her expression remained indifferent and neutral, overall.

Jack burst into laughing as Frank kept up the banter while he called for...more weapons!? This guy was nuts! He also probably needed a girl or two if he had that much time on his hands. Jack could help with that, maybe get some aura training in the bargain...Just as long as one of them wasn't Victoria, who was looking impressed by the sheer variety of stuff this guy was pulling out. Disappointing, really, he'd prefer not to have competition, and she was so rarely impressed by anyone anyway...Maybe the new chick would take a shine to him, she definitely knew how to carry herself. The gray hair was a little meh, but maybe Frank would dig that.

"Dude, I'm all for experimentation, surprise me!" he called out, pantomiming a blindfold with his hands. That got him a warm chuckle from Victoria. Excellent!

Honoria waved at the new girl. "Hiya! Come to check out the eye candy!?" she asked, winking deviously as she elbowed the...very, very tall woman in what wound up being her hip. Victoria was more demure, and gave her a smile in greeting.

"Hello there. We were out jogging and saw our friend Jack in a sparring match. He's the dashing one with no shirt to speak of. Well, to be fair, they are both handsome men. I suppose I have a bit of bias since I already know him. I'm Victoria en Fuego, and this is Honoria Angel. And you are?"

No response (from Jack, not sure about Frank). I was loud enough. Oh, well. Graem did not understand his (Jack's) pantomime, so she made no comment on it. A few steps approached her. She turned her head, and shoulders to the greetings. The sources of which were a carrot top, and a girl with blood-red hair, and green eyes. They seem rather, unprepared for a fight, but looks can be decieving. She allowed her [Honoria's] gesture, and waited until they stopped speaking. "Graem Fontes." said the young woman, she bowed slightly as she said this, and extended her hand in a flowing motion, to Victoria, expecting a handshake. It looks like she was inviting her to dance, though.

A few, but not all, renowned members of the Fontes Family.: Show
