Like a Boxing Match But Not [Open]

Apr 13, 2010 23:42

It had taken a little planning and some inquiries to the ship but the two kids were preparing for their match. Negi finished his stretches and looked over to Chamo. "Are you sure this is a good idea ( Read more... )

Vivio herself had finished her stretches, but had a worried look on her face. Was this okay? Would Stacy allow this? True, the City got beat up due to... whatever appeared along with the Nightmare King, but still...

Letting out a sigh, she straightened out the pair of old clothes she fetched out and wore over her plant suit.

"I still feel a bit weary about this..." Vivio said. "...think we should have done this in the Sensoriums?"

Well, if Vivio had known about the all-out sparring match with Signum and Nanoha, then yeah, she would have suggested it...

"I'm more worried that we'll damage the place despite it being mostly invincible," replied Negi. "Taking it outside is logically the best place, and this place is already fairly wide open. As long as we're not throwing huge spells around, we should be fine."

He grinned as he slid into stance. "You ready Vivio? Don't worry about hurting me or anything."

"You'd best not hold back either Aniki! Show her who's king of the mountain!" yelled Chamo from the sidelines.

Negi chuckled and nodded to Vivio.

Vivio nodded and slid into position herself. "I'm ready...!" With that, she motioned Negi to make the first move.

Sure, ladies first and all, but she wanted to see what he could do.

Negi nodded and made the first move; a simple step in and a straight punch to be followed up by a mixed high-low kick.

Evangeline should have known when it was the sound of that stupid ermine shouting that drew her attention that she wasn't going to see anything interesting. She'd wanted to see the boy in a match now for a while, get another gauge of how much he'd changed from the apprentice she'd sent off at the beginning of summer, but this opponent wouldn't show her a thing.

The girl's magic power was undeniable, and her techniques were practiced well enough, but she had no edge, no killer instinct. The two were children at play, no more, and for all the match meant to her they might as well have been going at it in Street Fighter or the like.

But she kept an eye on it anyway. She had little enough better to do, and if the boy got complacent and slipped up she'd never let him hear the end of it.

There was someone else who was just as curious about the match though. Even as she'd decided to let them talk about their magical doodads on their own, it hadn't meant she'd stopped listening, and now that they'd taken their fight to the city, she could get an idea of exactly how strong they were. She'd seen Nanoha in action before, so looking at Vivio was a bit similar, so she kept her eyes on the boy at first: he was new, and she was unfamiliar to his kind of magical attacks. Despite that weird animal's annoying announcement of them, she was actually interested in seeing how far the two went.

However, now someone else was catching her eye: it was the girl from last time, the one who had been giving the speech. Strangely enough, she looked bored. Alessa at least could see how this could pass for amusement fora little while.

"Not having fun?" Alessa commented.

The not-girl again. This time watching her boy, instead of the other way around... not that it mattered. Unlike Alessa, she openly welcomed attempts to harm her apprentice. They constituted 'teachable moments.'

"There's no tactics and no pressure. It's a decent lightshow, and that's it."

In other words, 'yes'.

"It wouldn't be a real fight, not between these two," Alessa said, shrugging. "You shouldn't forget that they're both children at heart, and would not really attack each other in that way. Things change when the circumstances are warped. Its typical human behavior: pit those two in a fight like this and its sparring, but the moment an enemy targets something they care about, the claws come out."

She turned to Evangeline. "But you aren't like that, are you?"

Hi, Vivio.

Guess who's watching the fight and gauging how it's going?

Love, Mommy.
