Conquest round 12

[kingofpoisons]

When all the students were gathered for the assembly at twelve noon on Sunday of Round Twelve Day stepped forward her face stern. She was joined on the platform by Santana and her team of Prefects; Flynn Scifo, Cino, Suzaku Kururugi and Golbez. Conquest had two more prefects but they were both unconscious.

"Good morning." Those who had been in Rakuen long enough would know the warning of her tone. The lack of extra raks in their bags the day before would have told them that they had lost this last round, though those following the battle records carefully might be a little confused at that.

"I would like to remind all of you that though I wish for victory, victory can not be achieved without participation and last round it is in participation that you failed."

A ripple of pain went though the audience as the battle records went up. "There were no Conquest only battles, disappointing. How do you expect to improve when you do not practice." Pain rippled through the Players of last round.

"However Ein beat Dirk Strider, well done Ein, Aly beat Onozuka Komachi," no well done for Aly as she was no longer a member of the school, "And Isabela beat Dirk Strider, well done Isabela." Day's eyes narrowed, "America lost his battle." America would be hit with a penalty, not too strong though.

"But at least he fought... you lost the round because of lack of fights, something you will improve on next Round.

Her eyes glittered and she took a bite of apple. "You all know the price of failure but let me tell you the price of not fighting at all is worse."

With that Arthur Pendragon was hit by a full level penalty. Day glared at him the whole time, even if he had already been punished with a fine she had to make her point felt.

The punishment went on for five minutes, anyone who moved or spoke got hit.

When it was finally over she glared at the audience. "Turn it around in Round Twelve, go out there and win, but more importantly fight. Anyone who fights less than three times will regret it next week."

With that the names of the unlucky Players of Round Twelve came up.

"Golbez
Suzaku Kururugi
Samuel Henderson
Cirno
Arthur Pendragon
Stellaluna"

"Miss Day is just that way...Even in class. So I dunno. But we haven't won even when someone is trying to get everyone to the same cause so..Maybe it's just us?" She shrugs a bit at this, Being here so long has taught her a few thing, most of them were not good things.

"I haven't. The only thing I'm kinda used to is a sword....but I can learn! I won't let you down!" She looks determined as she says this, floating up a bit into the air. She wasn't as worried now, focusing on one thing now.

Yuka frowned. "I have my doubts." Then she shook it off. There was no point in dwelling on it now.

"We should find someplace private to do that today then." She looked down at her hands, noting the lack of marking. "Once we actually vow, that is..."

Cirno blinked and looked down at the the glove on her hand, "Oh...Right. I forgot about that." She frowned at the blank thing for a moment before grinning up to Yuka once more, "I vow to protect and fight along side you with all of my strength! Also to give you all your rights as a Weapon by my side."

As she says all that, she bows a bit. It almost sounds like she had this rehearsed, or at least had this in her head for a while. Even though she liked being a Weapon, she did have some idea of being a decent player..even if she had not proved that fact yet.

Yuka smiled. "Then I'll join my strength to yours, and let us walk this path together." Was that affirmative enough for the system? She checked her hands again. Apparently it was.

Yuka smile grew wider. The whole situation with Day still chewed at her leaves, not to mention the other issues that had come up since she arrived here, but right now her heart was focused on one thing...

She was really looking forward to this!

After looking at her glove to make sure that the vow was with her and not someone else, Cirno's smile widened as well. She didn't trust the system right now and was glad it was cooperating with her at the moment. She was hopeful for this round now, trying to ignore the failures of the past. She threw her gloved fist up in the air with a happy laugh.

"Let's win this!"
