I know but while they mayy be with wou they may not help you, it will be like usual, well almost he said to William With our deal wou may deny the task. Azrael thought he was clear from the beggining, his student was to not use his power or allow his spirits to help him untill the lesson was over however they are still allowed to stay with William and comunicate with him as long as they do not help him, well unless his life really depends on it.
[End!] wake up call

William thought about it for a moment. Fine. he said, shruging his shoulders, faking easiness. It won't be that much differen from what they do every day anyway. Willaim laughed, and both spirits scoffed, however, they were all still tense and eyeing the man suspiciously.
So, what I'm supposed to do? May I fight someone? I've been itching for a good fight for some time now.

Eh, any school does not accept violance, but if you must then make sure i am not involved he said after all he needed his position for his reasearch the base idea is that you go through your average day without power, this is done to teach how much a dem.. hrm, a power user relies on his power and while that was true the other half of the point was to let each person with power to learn what they are weak in, not to say that they are weak it is only that the fact that most people with powers rely on their powers and most time one tend to forget other areas in which will become less used and in turn weaker in that area. Azrael could guess that since William had his spirits to defend him and attack his enemies then William most certainly was lacking in reflex, combat instincts and/or perceiving abilities, If Azrael was correct in his guess then he would also guess that william would want to some degree or another take up combat lessons that focus on these areas.
Is that all? he said, looking a bit disappointed. That's not much different than what I do everyday. he said, taking a small stone that probably fell of the stone fence of the roof, and throwing it in the air, only to catch it again. They don't respond to my every whim, you know. he said to Azrael, looking him in the eyes while he continued to play with the stone absently, his hand flying and catching it even when it fell to the weird angles. He almost dropped it once or twice, and had to turn his head to see where it is in order to catch it, but mostly he kept it close and managed to control it.
Not anymore that is. Now I have to fight with them as much as I fight with everybody else. he added, looking at Warrior this time. The creature scoffed. I was not created to fetch your coffee, William. it said, glaring daggers at the boy. You see? he said, finally dropping the stone, and turning back towards the man.
They are not mindless anymore. They have a voice of their own. And it's not like I'm helpless by myself either. he added, finally getting what Azrael might be getting at. I can hold my own in a fight. It was true. William wasn't as fast as Warrior, or had claws like Spirit, but he has taken up martial arts again, and even though he was technically the one teaching them to other students, occasionally there was also someone he could practice with, so he wasn't as rusty as when he firs came to the island.

What do your spirits think of off it? For instance if i attack you with my powers, the idea wouldn't be for me to harm you but to se how quick you would react defend and attack he said But would your spirits really not do anything during this leson? even if i brought up som anger in both you and them by bringing up what had happened in our first meeting? he described but without actually saying the word, when he had said desummoning during lesson 1. Seeing the stone that William was playing with he came up with a simplier idea, to throw stones at William while he was holding his balance at the edge of the roof.
The idea would let him test some areas that William might lack in due to having Wolf and Warrior I don't like to shift just because but i do have an alternative where we wont need to fight and as i said you may fight but do not involve me there was also a second motivation behind it, he didn't want to be caught fighting a student because it was bad for his position and even if he was found out and fothers learned that it was a test for a student he would have eyes on him hindering his personal progress.

It all depends on how far are you willing to take it., Spirit said, raising the upper part of his body, and yawning, opening his jaws wide and showing his sharps, long teeth. If his life will not be in much danger, you might proceed., the wolf said, now sitting instead of lying down.
I agree., Warrior said, leaning against the stone fence of the roof. With his temper, William is in constant danger from being attacked anyway, however, we will not jump in to help him every time. He can very well defend himself most of the time.
As I said. the boy sighed, waving his hand. So. What shall be my next test?

Azrael begun to come into a childish mood of prooving who was better when he saw Wolf's fangs. He too showed his canine fangs, technicaly they where fewer and to some degree smaller then a wolfs to fit in a humans mouth so he would loose the imaginary contest that way however compare the spirits fangs with another wolfs and he would probably be the same but compare Azraels fangs with another humans and he would win. When comparing their fangs with their own species then Azrael would be 1000% better then other humans fangs and Wolf's fangs would be the same as other wolfs so it was an obviously win for him though he couldn't be sure if Wolf's fangs where the same as other wolfs as he was a spirits and other wolfs are alive, with a body.
No! His life wouldn't be in any dnger and i wouldn't hurt him he said observing Williams spirits, not afraid but it never hurts to be aware and on guard But if Warrior is willing to i would like for him to throw small rocks at you as you balance on the edge of this roof, on the first part you would avoid the stones and for the next part you would catch them, ten pieces will be enoughfor both tests the questionwas two fold, first washow Warrior would react and then how William would do on the test, though he seemed more willing todo them then what Azrael had thought given their first encounter. This would also be a good test to see how much they would trust each other.

Is that all? William asked, getting up to the edge of the roof. Seems easy enough.
Turning his back to the edge, he took a few steps back, until he was standing at the very end of the stone fence. His hands in his pockets, he carefully followed Warrior with his eyes as the creature gathered the stones from the ground. He found ten, but could not find more, which meant William would first have to catch them, and throw them back, before they could be lost by falling over the edge.
William took a defencive stanze, knowing that Warrior wasn't going to go easy on him, and, truly, just as he did, a first stone flew to his upper left side, which was one of his weakest points, almost a blind spot. He caught it, though, but with his body, which probably didn't count. And just as he was shifting his shoulder so the stone could fall in his hand, the second rock flew, aiming for his head. William shifted again, the stone hitting his other shoulder, but still not falling over the edge.
He let out a deep growl of frustration before throwing both stones back to Warrior and getting ready for the next round. This time Warrior threw three stones at the same time, this time aiming for the William's strongest spots, as he tried to catch him off guard. It didn't work, though, as, as Warrior knew which areas William was weak at, William also knew the way Warrior's thinking worked. By the end of the test, William caught six stones and was hit by four.
Fuck, that hurt. he said, breathing heavily, taking a hand up to his cheek and finding a small amount of blood. Did you have to throw it that hard?
Yes. Warrior said. You do not want the man to think you are cheating, right? Raising an eyebrow, he started throwing stones again. This time, it went much better as William had a balance of a stone tower and moved like an eel.
Well, this is no fun. Spirit said, tapping his tail on the ground. You're never gonna hit him if he keeps moving like that. He's too... Slippery. the wolf snapped his teeth at the boy, hoping that the boy would lose his cool and let one of the stones hit him. Instead, William jumped over his head, avoiding the last stone, as well as the edge of the roof. He started to fall, face down to the ground.
Warriooor!

Warriooor!
The edge was there to test Williams balance and coordination while focusing on another tasks, well not really but it served as that purpose this morning and the avoiding and catching stones was meant to test William's reflexes and perception. He had excellent balance and coordination, the wolfs snap served as a second test of the kids perception. Williams Reflexes was average as was his focus however with the possibility to be better and his perception was either weak or strong. Azrael couldn't be to sure however William's grading would be either C if it was weak or B if it was strong. The grading was done by giving 0 points to weak, 5 to average, 10 to strong and every 10 points would bump up his grade from F...
This was no time to count, William was falling and Azrael hurried and threw himself on the ground to stretch out his arm to see if he could get there in time Warrior, hurry he said, not as an order but because he really wanted to help William, but right after he had said that he was shocked as he suddenly realized that he had attachment towards William, he didn't hate him and he might even start to like him. How could that be, he had sworn by his "Human" colleagues to forever hate "Demons" or until he prove to himself that they weren't demons. This wasn't the time he slapped himself to return to normal, even if Azrael didn't catch William Warrior would but then even if he didn't the safety net was still there all he had signaled the other students on the ground to do was to remove the invisibility cloak.

Warrior jumped forward the very second he noticed that William was going to fall, however, this time, he did not try to catch him as he fell, he simply allowed his own body to fall as well, landing on the safety net before William and catching him there. Having broken his fall, Warrior checked him all over just to be sure that nothing was broken when the boy's body made contact with his arms, and the wall once before. The boy winced as Warrior pressed into his back, which meant he would have a nice, black bruise there, however, except for that, he was okay.
You damn stupid idiotic maniac wolf! William screamed once Warrior brough him back to the roof. You complete idiot! he yelled once more, throwing himself on the wolf and trying to strangle him. You... You... Damn, Spirit! That was scary! he said, breathing heavily, leaning his head against the wolf's.
Sorry. the creature said, nuzzling his head against the boy's. He licked his ear, and William laughed, hugging him around the neck, his heartbeat still skyrocketing. Should've thought better.
Damn well you should. William said, burying himself into the Spirit's fur. It's okay now, though. Thanks, Warrior. The silent creature nodded, grabbing the boy's shoulder and squeezing it tight. Hey, that hurts!
