Kodas didn't really want to fight humans. That's why he was here at the university, right? But he had to stop this demon. Kodas leaped through the air.

Still moving toward the unarmored Spartan, Kodas' mind raced through his options, settling on one. As he approached his enemy, Kodas jumped forward and dove into the ground, rolling. He measured the distance such that his strong, hoofed feet slammed into the demon's shins. Kodas began to rise as the human started to fall, grabbing onto the staff and moving his weight forward to force the human down into the ground with the weight of a full grown Sangheili on top of him.

Quickly catching his breath, Kodas rolled to his feet and turned to face his opponent. Reaching out to the side, the Sangheili grabbed a second support pole and snapped off a staff to match the human's. "Demon," he growled in the harsh, human language. "You defile this school with you presence! What is your purpose here?!"

Taking the staff firmly in hand, Master Chief spun the blunt end down towards the Elite's hoofed feet. The feint was slow and purposeful, catching the opponent's eye to focus on defending the attack easily. Quickly spinning the make-shift spear around to the other end, the Spartan performed two rapid strikes horizontal to the ground at waist height (both for him and the Elite). The sharp end would be hard to dodge, the stabs coming in quick and deadly after the slower, misleading first strike.

Turning, the Sangheili took a step back and brought his staff to the ready. Impudent human! How dare he talk back to an Elite! "If I find that you have harmed any of my charges..." Kodas growled before lunging at the demon. He was unfamiliar with the makeshift weapon, and so improvised an attack, treating the wood as though it were a dual-grip energy blade. Pulling back with his left hand as leverage, Kodas struck at the Spartan with the splintered end of the staff.
(Again, his unconscious roused, making a note to talk to the Huragok about the possibility of making a dual-grip energy blade as soon as he returns to his people.)

Chuckling, Kodas boasted, "Don't tell me I have managed to confuse one of human kind's greatest warriors." Lifting his head up slightly so that he may look down on the demon, Kodas continued, "Do you not know a professor when you see one?"

"You're a professor here?" the Chief said bluntly. He was beginning to wonder if one of the Halos had gone off and he just didn't know it yet. This could be Hell after all... it would make sense.
Master Chief shook off his astonishment visibly, giving a brief shiver down his entire spine. But in doing so he managed to calm his nerves back down and remember his place. Moving swiftly forward, the Chief began another set of swings and stabs. "You can't be a professor," John said with final conviction. "You're Covenant; the enemy of humankind. You want to bring about our extinction, not teach us!"

"Your extinction is the will of the Prophets, who have betrayed my people. I only follow my commander and the Arbiter, now."

So then maybe the rumor about Johnson and Keyes was true--that the Sergent and Commander had actually allied themselves with the Elite and their allied races. "Then the Covenant have broken up? The Elites and Brutes have been fighting one another lately. Is that the 'will of the Prophets' at work?" He said the last in somewhat of a mocking tone.

"And what does that mean for the humans?" the Master Chief finally asked.

Kodas unconsciously did his nervous twitch, mandibles clacking over the thoughts that would have been considered traitorous not too long ago.

John shifted his weight from one foot to the other and spoke brokenly, "You're a teacher here... then you're not going to be... attacking anyone?" He paused, shifted his grip on the seemingly now pointless makeshift weapon. "I am a teacher here; there seems to be no point in fighting one another if these two facts are true."
It was the next question, one simple word, that hurt the Master Chief the most. "Truce?"
