Thread: Ravenwood School Of Magic (Krys Snape & Tsumi Okasaki)

Her next class was Offensive Magic and, though Professor Rikket assured her that she wouldn't be late, the immediately noticeable man standing before a large desk looked over to her the moment she entered, his expression saying 'you had better take damned good note of what was missed'. Her eyebrows shot up upon seeing the man. He was leaning back against the desk and wearing black biker boots with a tight fitting sleeveless tee and black pants. His heavily muscled arms where layered her and there with scars crossing against the sun weathered skin that indicated many many fights, both magical and melee. She was willing to bet that if the man took his shirt off, there would be an equal number across his torso as well. But the thing she found odd was that they didn't seem to take away from his appearance in the least. No, they added a sense of caliber to the man. Making him appear far more imposing than his muscular physique would have normally have been. Suddenly very irritated with the look he was giving her she didn't hesitate to respond with one of her own, more than willing to go toe to toe with the man. You must be Hikaru. she heard him say in a gruff voice. I'm glad you could make it. She squared her shoulders slightly and responded Myself as well. I would have been here sooner but some things needed my attention. She knew it was probably the worst route to go but she suddenly cared little about anything but holding her own against the open challenge of a stare he was giving her, daring her to respond. I wasn't aware that student's had anything to attend to during school besides the lessons. Perhaps I will have to look into it. She shrugged I wasn't aware that the activites of student's under the supervision of others was another's concern. She felt the tension in the room at her statement and refused to glance at the suddenly still class. Doing so even out of curiosity would be backing down and that she wouldn't do. Suddenly the teacher pushed off of the desk and turned to face her directly. Without realizing it, she stepped closer and noticed the man towered clear over her. What the hell was he before becoming a teacher? She couldn't help but wonder. The man was a good foot and a half taller than her, causing her to have to look up to meet his gaze. A battle of David and Goliath, she almost let his next response slip past her. You seem to be very outspoken, Ms. Hikaru. Perhaps you require time after school to consider your disposition. She could tell the wording wasn't one he would have normally chosen and couldn't help herself as she responded in a hars tone, Truth to power is never out. And I'd take it up with anyone that said otherwise. Suddenly the man burst into laughter, which confused the hell out of Hikaru. That you would, Little Lady. he said as he settled down, a grin on his face. Go take your seat. We are going over a couple of spells from Chapter One. He then turned and moved behind his desk looking down at the large book on it leaving Hikaru with nothing to do but as he said. After that the rest of the class went swiftly. They each took a practice dummy that was lined against the back of the wall and practiced the spells in the book. The first spell was rather straight forward. It was a power spell that required quite a bit of juice to use. No fancy gestures or hand motions, just the spell word Sultras and aim. The spell was supposed to send a small ball of light at the opponent about the size of a marble then violently erupt into a shockwave and obliterate the dummy from the inside. However most people found themselves thrown back by several feet just uttering the word of the spell. Hikaru's first attempts were more successful. She managed to form the small marble and send it at the target only to have it erupt prematurely. After a few frustrating attempts, the professor, who's name she discovered was Graves, corrected her on the proper displacement for the spell. Soon after that she was blasting her dummy down and watching it get ripped into shreads again and again only to reform its self. After they had all atleast attempted the spell several times, Hikaru being the first to master it followed by a read haired woman and a straw thin boy, Graves stopped them and said This spell isnt entirely unblockable however a shielding spell has no effect on it. So untill you learn the proper guards against it, never use it on anyone that can send it back. And for the love of all you hold dear, never met the spell with its own. The results will be devastating. Hikaru could only imagine what two of the little orbs clashing together could do to both combatants and nodded. The next spell was 'Lylthing' which was nothing more than a variation of the Reducio spell which blasted apart objects. It required more power and had a wider range as well as no line of obstruction. If cast right then only the object that the person was pointing at would be destroyed even if something moved between the caster and the target when the word was spoken. Graves demonstrated this many times, the first scaring the shit out of everyone and then, suddenly, class was over. Gathering her things, she made her way to Potions, wondering what was in store for her.
