Looking for a worthy chalange... (open)

[Gabriel]

As the powerful rain fell on the training grounds not many students wished to get wet so everyone stayed inside. Well almost everyone… A lone figure walked towards the training area outside. AS it walked under the trees where it was protected by the leaves a wind blew past and his long dark cloak moved in the unison with it. Its dark medium length hair moved also as it approached the territory where fights could be held. As the end of the trees and the end of the dry area came to an end the figure stopped. Its dark eyes analyzing what was in front of him. So much space and yet no one to use it… ‘What a shame.’ He thought as his face remained unchanging as one of his gloved hands held a simple cane. He came here to look for an opponent so he could test his skills against others. And yet there was no one here. This irritated him a bit but shaking it off the man known as Gabriel decided to check closer maybe there will be someone else here.

So taking the cane into his left palm Gabriel began to walk. With the first step he tapped the cane to the ground and then moved it upwards holding it like the umbrella. It would seem stupid at first but a second later the cane opened up and one could swear that it was the umbrella all the time. But after all this was Arcane Academy and with a help of a little alchemy one can do very convenient things. Step after step Gabriel walked slowly towards the middle of the ground his black shoes hitting the soft, wet earth. And yet as he came into the middle of the grounds there was no one around. Rain falling on the umbrella Gabriel stood there for a second thinking about what he should do next. His right hand subconsciously moved to his face and slowly brushed off the spikes of hair that fell on his face.

As the rain continuously fell from the clouded sky a soft sound reached his ears. Although most of the noises were drowned by the all consuming rain Gabriel heard a soft sound of approaching footsteps. ‘Ah it seems fate is generous to me today…’ He thought as his right hand moved away from his face and fell to his side. His back turned to the sound of the footsteps Gabriel spoke with his soft and silent voice.

“How may I be of service?” He said as his dark eyes looked to his side not seeing who approached but knowing that someone was there. Subconsciously he focused a small drop of mana if he was attacked into his right hand. It was too small for anyone to notice or fell but it made spell-casting faster because you already had a bit of mana in your hand. So looking completely relaxed Gabriel waited for a reply, in whatever form it may come.

[Dridien]

((^^ I take it I can just join in then? -shifty eyes-))

Ah it was the perfect time for him to get in some practice as he allowed the water to soak down into his clothing, the white robes clenching around him as his blond hair was made even more girlish thanks to the rain.

Luckily for him his make-up would not be ruined by the rain, waterproofing was something his entire family had learnt to use when it came to make up, well, at least the females did.

His staff was held proudly as he saw another figure out in the pour rain, he had come here to possibly get in some practice with fighting as a smile crossed his lips focusing his energy more with the aid of the abundance of water this was his playing field.

"I was looking for a sparring partner...perhaps.." The feminine voice responded to the strange man. He was above just 'attacking' people when they were un-prepared.

[Gabriel]

As the answer ringed in the air Gabriel was now sure that there was someone. Without even turning around he prepared himself for the upcoming fight. Standing easily he waited a couple of moments before replying. And then his simple and calm voice spoke. “Then prepare to fight…” Was all Gabriel had to say. Waiting a couple of seconds for his opponent to prepare he himself gathered his mana in his hands making his palm emit a slight grey mist that was barely visible especially in this rain. A couple more seconds later Gabriel raised his hand that was not holding the umbrella and his fingers positioned themselves so that he could make a snap. With that done his head slowly turned to his enemy and saw him for the first time. His dark eyes analyzing him and trying to find at least a little tip of what he could do. Yet to no avail. His opponent however was rather weird so to say but Gabriel decided to ignore that fact. Instead he spoke simply.

“Begin…”

And no matter what his opponent was planned to do he would be forced to change his plans as Gabriel snapped his fingers bringing the illusion on the eyes of his foe. After the snap his opponent would only see as suddenly a thick grey mist spread throughout the area consuming all forms sounds and feelings. Gabriel would be gone and the mist would block all the Dridien’s senses including making it hard to see further than your nose. While at the same time Gabriel would move to Dridien’s right and begin for one more attack that took a little more time to prepare for. Even though his opponent could control the water and the mist was basically water yet this was not a real mist so no control over him could be gained while it would block all and every senses the victim of the illusion had.
