19 FIGHT!!!!!!

Casstis stared at Alicia for a significantly longer time than Zachary. As the two locked eyes Casstis suddenly expressed a small smile, as something about Alicia's answer seemed to amuse her.

However, her barley, imperceptible smile left her beautiful face as she turned to the next person. The one person in class nobody else knew.

"Fenris Maccon, I am 17 years old and I am here to learn from someone who is my better. I am fighting to find myself, my friend and my foe. My will to live is a promise that I made to a close one fallen" responded Fenris passionately. He sounded as if he was an old minstrel, telling tales of old with a mysterious tone and a vague description. His voice was one of sorrow, pain and determination.

After Fenris finished speaking he pulled down his hoodie to reveal what he looked like.

He had sickly pale skin and a tortured expression, as if he was in a lot of pain. He had brown almost auburn hair and yellow red eyes that look to always be asking a question, understood by nobody. He had slightly long fingernails and was on the skinny side.

He was shorter than everybody here except Zachary, as he was 1.84 meters tall. He weighed around 68kg with no muscles in sight. He had a neutral resting expression, however, with the way his eyes were, it looked like he was always on the verge of crying or shouting.

Casstis seeing the boy, looked at him in an expressionless manner before sighing, slightly and imperceptibly, and moving on to Arthur.

"Hello sensei, my name is Arthur Rathaway and I am 17 years old. I am here to take care of my friend and sworn brother. My reason for fighting is to protect him and myself from the dangers of the world. My will to live is the desire to follow my values, no matter where it leads me" replied Arthur with a conviction in his tone that surprised everyone here.

Even, Casstis thought from her observations that this boy was just a goof ball. However, that serious expression filled with the determination to take a step forward even if it means death made her respect him, just a little.

"I wonder how far you will go" Whispered Casstis in an inaudible tone. Nobody was able to hear her as she didn't move her lips and her expression stayed the same. That is, except for the two vampires and strangely enough, Fenris.

Even though none of the three showed it, they were surprised to hear her speak for the first time after an introduction. However they swiftly moved on as she then looked at Marcellus.

" I am Marcellus Mckinley and I am 17 years old. My reason for being here is to learn how to fight, if I am being honest, because I simply like fighting. I am fighting for survival and to improve myself through battle" Marcellus replied as he had a crazed, battle-hungry smile on his face as his eyes widened and his heartbeat with excitement. Then, he calmed down and finished answering the question.

"My will to live is—At this point Marcellus paused and stole a glance at Alicia as he suddenly smiled and finished—-Nah, no will to live, being dead is much more fun" said Marcellus as he went quiet again. Alicia breaking her frozen, listless expression for a second as her eyes warmed up after hearing what Marcellus said.

Casstis responded by giving a small visible smile but said nothing. She then stood up and introduced herself, answering all of the questions she herself asked. She didn't ask for Emmas introduction becasue she left after Casstis came in because she wasn't going to join.

"My name is Casstis Edrei and I am 27 years old. I am here to teach you three things, martial arts, philosophy and battle. I fight because it is who I am" said Casstis in a resolved tone. She knew who she is and what she wants. Nothing and nobody would stand in her way!!!

"In a fight, as long as anybody but yourself is still breathing then the fight is not over. There is no reason to fight, not really anyway. You may fight to survive, to become better, or to challenge someone who wronged you" started Casstis as she walked in front of each of them as she pointed out their flaws.

"However, the simple truth is that you fight, because you want to, you crave battle, you crave what battle will bring because at the core all sentient beings crave power. Power over others, power over themselves and power of even their convictions" she continued as she paced back and forth between them, this time looking at Arthur as she talked.

"And anyone who truly loves power, loves to measure that power in battle. It's a simple fact!" stated Casstis as she suddenly yelled, getting riled up.

"The question is, do we fight in order to gain power, or do we gain more power in order to fight? I haven't figured it out yet" questioned Casstis as she walked back in front of them all with her back turned, holding her hands at her waist and smiled.

" But who cares, because one thing is for certain" Casstis said as she shrugged her shoulders, still holding both of her hands at her lower waist as she stayed turned around.

"There is absolutely no reason we should ever deny it or try to change because we were born this way" roared Casstis as she threw her arms up in a grand gesture and turned around with a crazed, blood-thrisy, battle-hungry, kill ready smile.

"You have always wanted to fight and you always will. It's part of you, you do it instinctively. You have no choice but to fight, because it's the only way to gain power" she put her arms down, however her smile widened.

"FIGHT!" she roared loud enough to shake the wooden building, to shiver bones and crack wills.

"If you want to control that power, take your weapon and cut down your enemies! There is no other path, no way to move forward or back, there is only BATTLE!" she roared just as loudly while emitting a heavy, dense malleable pressure, a killing intent so strong it cracked the floor beneath her. As she had the smile of a blood crazed demoness.

"..." At this point everyone of the students had the same thought: 'WHAT THE HELL, IS SHE EVEN HUMAN?!!!?!!!!'

Authors note:

I am going to make the story more battle oriented and a lot more bloody. As that is the philosophy: more power =more, stronger fights and more stronger fights =more power.

I also love the idea of a good fight so yeah. However, there will still be romance and shizz like that so...
