As Sho ran to the northeastern plains, the atmosphere started changing from a peaceful area with a beautiful view to a place full of fog that made it harder to see, creating more of a creepy environment which made him a little nervous. He kept looking around, hoping to either confirm he'd been seeing things or find whatever was out there. Whatever he had seen, if it was a CS, this would be where he'd find it...

Intermission

As Sho moved through the fog, his instincts sent a metaphysical chill down his metaphysical spine, just in time to accompany the presence that had appeared off to his left...

Garm 1

Overall Statistics:
Health: 100
Prana: 50
Stamina: 150

Attributes:
• STR: D • VIT: D • WIL: E • RES: E
• SPD: C • AGL: D • PER: D-1 (sight only) • REC: E

Action Phase:
Having scented its prey some time ago, the Garm was almost ready to begin its attack on titan Sho. Almost. After all, no self-respecting Garm would go a-hunting without a howl every now and then.

(Rage Howl: -25 Prana, -10 Stamina)

Though the howl echoed through the countryside, it seemed like the only one listening were the Garm itself and Sho. No further howls added harmony, nor wings percussion.

Sho's aura had faded as he got a response from Londo, who joked about his sneeze and wanted to 'deck a Fenrir in the schnozz'. But before Sho could reply, he heard a howl coming from his left...

Reaction Phase:

Quickly turning to face the new enemy, it was obvious that it was the wolf CS. The weird part was that there was only one. "I found a Garm out there, but it's alone, so this should be a piece of cake! I can handle it alone, but if you want we could have the kids train against it." As he talked he kept watching the wolf, waiting to see if it'd make a move.

In case the others wanted to use it as a punching bag, Sho got ready to avoid it by re-activating his aura, causing a light green current of wind to swirl around him and push away the fog. It didn't help the visibility, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

(Whirlwind activation: -3 Prana, -10 Stamina)
(Whirlwind: -2 Prana, -6 Stamina)

Action Phase:

Then to fully prepare himself for battle, Sho summoned his sword in his right hand and stared at the mutated wolf, waiting for it to attack. It'd once been a threat to him in the first mission, but it wasn't a problem now, especially when there was only one. He'd at least gotten better at running away from things since then...

Garm 1

Overall Statistics:
Health: 100
Prana: 30
Stamina: 150

Attributes:
• STR: D+1 • VIT: D • WIL: E • RES: E
• SPD: C+1 • AGL: D • PER: D-1 (sight only) • REC: E

Active Skills: Rage Howl: Turn 1/2

(Start of Turn: +5 Prana, +10 Stamina)

Reaction Phase:
The victim that had showed itself in the area didn't seem to be particularly frightened of the raw power incarnate present before it, even with the howl. Well, no matter. They were going to get eaten sooner or later.

The Garm dashed forward with its superb speed, avoiding the nasty looking thing up above as it went in for a chomp on Sho's left leg. As it got closer, it would leap a little bit, sending its hindquarters to the right a bit, hoping that once it bit into the leg it could use its momentum to spin around the leg for a nasty goring wound.

(Fang Rush: -15 Stamina)

Action Phase:
Regardless of the Garm's success in its spinning, it would reorient itself upon landing and immediately rush forward again, trying to not give its prey time to reset. It once again jumped, but this time it sent its front higher so that it could use its paws to try and push Sho's torso while it bit into his lower chest. With luck, the paws would be able to push the victim over, allowing the Garm free reign to stand atop and ravage Sho.

(Attack x2: -10 Stamina)

Intermission

Though Londo and Co had left swiftly, it would still take them a bit of time to reach this section of the plains. They will be able to post in this thread after the next Garm post.

Sho Kazehaya

Health: 150/150
Prana: 96/110
Stamina: 150-??/150
Air Saber: 40/40
• STR: B • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E
• SPD: A • AGL: A • PER: F • REC: B
Current Status: +1 Strength, +1 Speed, +1 Agility, -1 Perception (from fog)
Skills Active: Fairy Levitation (Passive), Proficiency (Passive), Whirlwind (2/6 Phases remaining)
Current Equipment: Revival Bracelet (Inactive), Warrior Heart (+1 Strength)

(Start of Turn: +5 Prana, +25 Stamina)

Reaction Phase:

The wolf went in for the attack after it was done howling, so Sho wouldn't have time to talk to Londo and the kids anymore, ending the call for now. He'd just have to keep away from it while they were making their way over here...

So as it rushed in to try to bite his left leg, Sho quickly stepped out of the way with his superior speed and agility, pivoting on his right leg while his left would be moving out of the way of the approaching fangs so that he faced the Garm as it turned in midair, resulting in him now facing the opposite direction to face the wolf-like CS once it was behind him. Then he'd start floating backwards before it had time to attack again, preparing to avoid its next move.

Next the Garm jumped at his torso, trying to knock him over. This time he'd evade it differently, using his levitation to move to the side and out of the way of its jumping attack at full speed while also turning his body to the side to lower the chance of hitting even more. With his higher speed, agility, and recovery, along with the fog making it harder for either of them to hit, the chance of getting hit was pretty slim.

If he'd managed to dodge everything, he'd float further away while taunting the wolf monster. "Hah, you're too slow!" It was nice to have the upper hand for once instead of the usual difficult battles...

If it'd managed to hit Sho with the tackle, he'd use his full strength to smack it off of him with the flat of his sword, doing his best to not get knocked over. It'd be rather humiliating if he couldn't handle even this when he was a D rank, especially if the others saw it. Like the other scenario he'd back away from it, but he wouldn't say anything other than grunting in a little pain.

(Evasion Dodge: -25 Stamina) or (Counter: -35 Stamina)
(Whirlwind: -6 Stamina, -2 Prana)

Action Phase:

Either way, he'd keep waiting for the others without making the first move against the Garm. Even if he could take it out alone, it'd be better to let the kids practice against it so they could learn a thing or two, so he'd fight defensively instead. As for keeping it away from him, something else came to mind...

Deciding to try out his new attack, Sho formed a sphere of wind in his left hand as he waited for the wolf to make a move. He had to at least be consistent at his own mediocre spell if he wanted any hope of teaching someone else. If the Garm charged at him again, he'd use it the same way he had before by 'throwing' the Air Blast at the Garm to knock it far into the distance. "Take this!" Whether it was successful or not, it'd also end up dispersing a lot of fog temporarily. If he didn't hit it, he'd try to at least block its attack with the flat of his blade to avoid getting bitten.

Garm 1

Overall Statistics:
Health: 100
Prana: 35
Stamina: 135

Attributes:
• STR: D+1 • VIT: D • WIL: E • RES: E
• SPD: C+1 • AGL: D • PER: D-1 (sight only) • REC: E

Active Skills: Rage Howl: Turn 2/2

(Start of Turn: +5 Prana, +10 Stamina)

Reaction Phase:
To the Garm's frustration and confusion, the prey managed to dodge both of its attacks. Not to mention that it didn't try to fight back; usually the prey with nasty things in their hands tried to fight. Being a Garm, it also didn't understand what Sho said afterwards.

That being said, the prey did create some sort of ball that it threw towards the Garm. Alatar was indescribably disappointed in Sho for saying "Take this!" instead of "Fetch!" when throwing a ball to a pupper. The Garm tried to jump to its left to avoid the attack, but wasn't able to escape a hit on its left flank. Though it didn't feel much in the way of pain, it wore a stupefied expression as it flew off to the side.

(Evade: -20 Stamina)

Action Phase:
Getting up from where it had crashed a moment ago, the Garm shook its head a little as it turned its attention back to Sho. It's prey was rather annoying, it seemed. Food always tasted best after working up an appetite, though the Garm had never not had an appetite as far as it could remember.

That said, even a Garm wasn't entirely stupid. Just rushing in hadn't worked on this prey like it had on the previous ones. Thus, the Garm decided to move more carefully, approaching to about 5 meters away from Sho and then proceeding to circle counterclockwise around him. It wouldn't attack just yet; it would have a better chance if its prey gave it an opening.

Intermission

Londo can now post here. The students will be posted with after both Sho and Londo but before the CS/enemies. This applies for all battles in this mission.

Finally, Londo arrived in the densely foggy area that Sho was located in. He seemed to be having no trouble against the Garm, which would disappoint Londo otherwise, since they had only fought the previous night, and if Sho lost all his combat skill already that'd be bad.

Londo waved at the Garm and Sho, "Yo Sho! We're here! Stand aside to let the kids show us what they can do!" Then Londo said to the kids, "Now kids, remember to have fun! No pushing, no shoving, and no bullying the other children! The fight might be a bit unfair being 4 on 1, but it's a small demonstration anyways! Show us what you can do!" Londo said, giving them a thumbs up.

(Start of Turn: +5 Prana, +25 Stamina)

Reaction Phase:

Sho was happy to see that he'd dodged everything and his spell actually worked, sending the poor doggo flying off to the side after its failed dodge attempt, causing it to crash into the ground so that it'd have to roll to get up. "At least you know how to roll over!" Sho joked at it even though it wouldn't understand, trying to have some fun since it'd be an easy battle anyways. Then it didn't attack him right away after getting up, instead circling around him. It must've been smart enough to not attack over and over again when it didn't work, but he wasn't going to give it an opening and kept a distance of around five meters by levitating, buying time for the others to arrive.

(Standby: +25 Stamina)
(Whirlwind: -6 Stamina, -2 Prana)

Action Phase:

And arrive they did, since even in the thick fog he could clearly hear Londo's voice coming from his left. Londo showed up along with all the kids, asking him to stand aside so they could handle this. "All right, just be careful!" Then he levitated further away from the Garm while still facing it, quickly creating more distance so that it'd be more likely to fight the trainees instead of him, but not so far that he couldn't intervene quickly if he needed to.

The students arrived at the designated area, Timothy huffing a little but everyone otherwise ok. It appeared that Sho had found some sort of wolf-like monster for them to fight, and from their instructions it sounded like the fighting would be essentially left up to them. Timothy dropped his backpack near Londo, pulling out his staff as the others moved off a little closer to the wolf.

”So this is our target, huh?” Myles drew his longsword as he advanced towards the front. ”Naomi, why don’t you and I take care of this one mostly?”

”True, it'd be difficult for all of us to strike it together, given its size. Harumi, can you watch over Timothy?” Naomi’s knife glistened a little despite the fog as she drew it and crouched a little lower, breathing a little quicker and hands shaking somewhat from nerves. Harumi nodded and backed away to stand on Timothy's left some distance behind the older two.

The Garm, seeing new prey show up, wondered briefly whether it ought to flee due to how outnumbered it was. That being said, it was rather hungry, and the ones coming towards it were all younger and fresher looking.

As the students repositioned, the Garm gave its vicious howl once again, strengthening itself before rushing forward towards them. Myles intercepted the vicious fangs, using the flat of his blade to block while bracing it with both hands. Between his own Strength and stepping out of the way, Myles was able to throw the wolf off balance, giving ample time for Naomi to deliver two swift slashes to its back and then leap away frantically.

As the Garm turned in rage to attack Naomi, Myles shifted into a more aggressive stance and felt a small amount of wind brushing against him. ”Thanks Timothy. Hey, mutt! I’m your opponent!” The Garm turned back towards Myles from chasing Naomi, leaping back out of the way of his first slash. It then dove back in for a chomp on Myles’s right leg, but was repaid with a nasty blow from Myles’s crimson-glowing sword. Even Myles couldn’t help but grimace from the searing pain in his leg though.

Naomi took the opportunity presented to slash at the Garm’s unprotected back, only to have it unexpectedly kick back with its hind legs. The Garm released from its bite on Myles, backing away as it realized just how much trouble it was in. Before it could flee, though, Myles leapt forward and brought down his sword in a mighty slash to its head while it eyed Naomi approaching its right. The blow from the longsword caused it to disperse into particles almost instantly, leaving only glimmering dust and some surprised students.

”They said that Calamity Seeds disappear when they die, but I wasn’t really prepared for that,” Naomi said softly.

”GREAT JOB, GUYS! Both Harumi and her voice rushed over to the older pair, with Timothy jogging up behind.

”Naomi, are you hurt at all? Myles, how’s your leg?”

”Ah, I’m just a little bruised,” Naomi sheathed her knife and scratched her head a bit, face slightly red. ”I was just a little careless. It didn’t even hit me that hard.”

”I’ll be fine too,” Myles swished his sword a couple times before also sheathing it. ”It looks worse than it is. Besides, your first spell took care of a bit of it already.”

”That’s great! All the same, stay still a moment. No sense in even a little pain when I’m right here.” Timothy channeled his magic for a moment, creating a glowing green magic circle. Wind began to flow through the area around him, clearing away the last of the pain and wounds, though Myles’s pants would need a patch or two later.

Londo the GREAT!

Londo watched as the kids ganged up on the Garm not bothering to recap any of the events because that's just wasting posting space, and nodded when they killed it, but stepped forwards to them, bringing Timothy's backpack with him, "Good job, but that was only a warmup! Now we need to wait even longer for Alatar to post for Sho to find us MORE CS. Or hopefully we can have some plot convenience us and the CS will show up as we're talking!" Londo said, looking around excitedly.

But unfortunately, since Alatar didn't state any were coming Londo couldn't see any at this time, so he shrugged, and set Timothy's backpack on the ground, "What's in this thing anyways? What do you need that you bring a backpack for Tim?"

Londo took a look around the area, it was still foggy. He wondered what kind of thing caused the fog. Was it just natural? Londo never set foot here so he wouldn't know.

Sho watched the trainees fight the Garm two on one, which made it pretty easy to beat. They didn't take much damage other than Myles getting bitten in the leg, but he was fine too after a little healing from Timothy. That was for the best, since it'd be a bad sign if they had trouble against just one CS when they might have to fight a bunch at once...Londo seemed eager for that, since he wanted Sho to go find more CS now, or hope that more would just show up and attack them by 'plot convenience'. "Hahaha! Sorry, but I'd rather be prepared for whatever we fight...There's no telling what might be out there, you know? You guys can head back to the main road, I'll go look for more CS again. See ya!" Assuming they agreed to that, Sho would run off and leave the area and search for more CS while the others went back to the safety of the main road. This time he didn't use his aura, since it tired him out and there wasn't any need to hurry anyways.

Timothy Norton

Since they'll all be back to full by the next combat, I'm just setting all Statistics back to full now.

The teachers acknowledged the success of the students, though of course defeating one foe was hardly an outstanding accomplishment. Still, though, there was a little time to take it easy, since there were no more foes right here.

At Londo's request(?), Sho once again departed to search for more enemies, leaving the students with Londo once again. Londo chose to take the time to question the presence of Timothy's backpack. "Allow me to explain," A narrator says from out of nowhere Timothy said as he took the backpack from Londo. "This backpack has a whole buncha gear that might be useful. Like, there's a couple pots and pans for cooking meals, some canned foods. I've got a couple flashlights, a portable stove, and other stuff like that. Oh, and some medicines for stuff my magic can't handle, like upset stomachs or runny noses. I just like to be prepared."

As Timothy spoke with Londo, the other kids lingered in their various manners. Naomi took some deep breaths to try to calm her nerves and convince herself that they had just defeated a foe. It was difficult to believe. Sure, this was what she had been training for, but it still felt weird. Her friends were here to congratulate her, and yet, at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to accept the praise. Myles had done a lot of the work, but the monster had fallen so easily. It was hard to believe that these things were so dangerous to civilization, and yet one had been easily defeated by little more than children.

Harumi tried to catch some of the particles from the CS in her hands, though they drifted out despite her efforts. As she watched the particles pass through her skin and continue up into the sky, she asked "Hey, where do you think the Seeds go after they die?"

"Huh?" Myles put away his phone from whatever he was typing and walked over. "I dunno, I guess they just go off to have their magic reabsorbed by something else again later. Heh, maybe the Seeds are all just the same couple Seeds getting recreated over and over again when their old bodies die."

"What makes you ask, Harumi?" Naomi took the opportunity to distract herself from her own thoughts by joining in the conversation.

"The particles, they just kinda drift up, even through my hands. I just wonder if they have a place they get to go now, since they don't stay here."

"Uh huh," Naomi voiced, not confident in how to respond any further. "Well, maybe when we get back to the School, we can ask someone there if they know more."

The group would continue to mill around, lacking much to do unless they needed to leave the area with Londo.

Londo the GREAT!

Londo nodded and gave timmy the thumbs up, "Good! It always helps to be prepared!" He said, then stood guard while the children conversed. While he stood guard, Londo got yet another call from Sho, saying he was going to the forest. Londo thought a moment before replying, "You know, I think the mountain cave might be better! I took a mission there, and there were just spiders. Besides, in a forest Harumi would have trouble with her fire right? I think in a cave it'd be better where she can let loose! Of course, it would be a bit harder to protect everyone when the spiders shoot lasers, and the bigger one shoots one I can't block really well..." Londo said thinking, then he shrugged.

"Oh well! I'll leave the decision to you Sho, but I really think we should get this moving along, making alatar post in every thread when it's going slow enough is boooooring we can't waste too much time on looking around. Besides, what kind of training is it if we don't get caught out, or ambushed! This kind of training is dumb, and just teaches them to not be worried about most things if we just cherry pick the battles right?"

Londo shrugged in response to Sho's explaining, "I guess, but better to experience than be taught." He said, then started getting excited, "Fenrir and 2 garms? Hell yea! Kids, we're going to the forest! Pack up your stuff and we'll be on our way!"

Londo said that, then Left the area with the kids once they were ready.
