beating the principal part 1

"so you want to prove that?"(principal)

"I have no interest in doing petty healing for your ego."(syn)

"when you're no longer restricted to only 50, well fight and see whose boss."(principal)

"you sound like an idiot."(syn)

"do you accept or not?!"(principal) angrily asked me.

"yeah sure I guess, got nothing else to do."(syn)

I opened my eyes calmly as I craned my neck to look at the principal of this school.

"25 minutes, somewhere large."(syn)

"school has a large arena, you have 20 minutes."(principal)

"fine."(syn)

I simply stood up and gave a slow affirming wave as I left the room, this would be easy.

as I walked I noticed I was drawing the attention of almost every girl I passed, which confused me since that didn't usually happen, I knew I wasn't ugly but this was weird.

maybe I could use this.

19 minutes later

[BP:210/210]

*perfect*

I dripped the poor girl onto the floor and just started walking away, it seemed a bit cruel but she was a masochist so who knows.

the things you find out when you draw a crowd like moths to flame.

I soon realised that I should've asked for directions, I was about to just start walking in a random direction but I found a sign labeled area and started following the direction the arrow on it pointed to.

after a few minutes of following arrows on wallsigns I finally reached a side door that led to a massive field, on that field was a large flat metal stage like structure that already had the principal on it geared up in metal plate armor, almost like the stuff knights wear but not quite, several portions were missing and you could see the normal clothes underneath, there wasn't any chainmail, no protective padding, nothing.

how did that protect against anything?

i hopped up onto the structure and ignored what she was saying about being late or the importance of punctuality or whatever she was talking about, didn't mater to me.

I stood there relaxed as she got into a weird position.

I let my robe turn back into blood before absorbing it back into my body, I also changed my oajama pants into shorts, the kind I used to wear a long time ago, form fitting to the knee.

I kept the t-shirt that was gray in color.

after I was satisfied with my clothing choices for today I nodded to let her know I was ready.

I was about to charge but felt an odd urge to look to my left by the school wall, and there were bleacher seats that held what looked to be hundreds of kids.

*let's give em a show I guess*

(playing with prey, I like)(DFD)

I turned back to face her just in time, having enough space to react gracefully to sidestep her lunge attack.

once that failed she sent attack after attack my direction, none of them landing.

no deflects or blocks were used as I just simply moved effortlessly around her attacks.

I launched forward somewhat fast but apparently too fast for her to keep up with, barreling down virtually on top of her with my fist speeding towards center mass.

my fist making contact with the stomach before I moved it backwards and jammed my new arm blades through her chestplate and somewhere into the liver area.

her look of surprise and pain was instant as I retreated.

since the punch was a feint the whole time to disguise me testing my arm blades the second I retreated and people saw the blood leaking out and the warped hole in the armor they began looking intensly at my hands for a weapon.

the crowd was unsure while the principal was mad, completely fuming with anger.

but unlike most wild animals or people I've gone up against, there was no charging, no emotion filled ditch at inflicting pain, nothing.

she kept eyeing my arms while slowly beginning to circle, what was the plan there?

she grabbed at a sword hilt at her waist and drew it from the sheath, holding the blade at the ready as she moved closer, like she was gaging and trying to control the distance.

to me it seemed like a good strategy that could work on most people, I'm not most people.

my left arm turned into a tentacle before I used it to close the distance quickly, using the blade at the end to start light attacks that I could use to distract her.

our weapons sparked off of one another, she was able to fend off or dodge most of my attacks, which was fine, injuring wasn't my goal at the moment.

(since when were you an endurance fighter?)(DFD)

*not now*

that temporary distraction was enough for her to be able to knock away my tentacle and start running along side it.

it could've worked but I still had my other arm, turning it I to a tentacle as well I also sent this one towards her.

she ducked under my other tentacle and what I think k she was expecting to happen was me accidentally stabbing myself, didn't happen.

my two tentacles stopped cold the second they were close.

her look of surprise was plain as day.

taking the opportunity that she gave me I lashed to the side with my left tentacle that I had been pulling back slowly ever since she started moving and was able to slash across her unprotected waistline.

the second I did I activated (evolving siphon)

[BP:215/210]

*so that's what happens*

[danger, overfeeding can cause blood dependency, please avoid]

I immediately sent out my combat skill (minefield)

tiny balls of blood shot forth from my all sides of my tentacles that were the size of water droplets they hovered all around us in the air for a moment before one went off, allowing for the chain effect I used this for, blanketing the area is near constant explosions that made it perfect at distances both near and far.
