Ashiel stalked forward. His fists opened and closed, trying to grasp at an imaginary weapon, completely unaware of the continuing materialization of swords behind him. He didn't notice how the older boy and his companion had moved into a defensive stance. But the way the former had talked, arrogant, almost condescending in Ashiel's ears, he continued to see that as the guy looking down on him.

"I don't have anything to do with your friend." he says, his voice almost a growl. His eyes swiftly gave the newcomer another once over. He saw the injuries he had gotten, as well as the disgruntled expression on his face. He looked rather young, and Ashiel wondered if he was younger than him. Ashiel felt somewhat apologetic, but he couldn't make himself stop what with his temper.

With his nose flaring and cheeks reddening, he turned back to the older of the two, "You're the one I have a problem with!"

He took another step forward and readied himself for a swing, the random though popping up in his mind that he's never been in a fist fight before, before the first sword flew forward. It was soon followed by the others in quick succession.

Eyes widening in alarm, Ashiel tried to call them back, but with his anger replaced with that sudden shock, the adrenaline that had been keeping him up while the swords ate away at his strength finally gave out and he fell to the ground. His vision began to darken but he knew that once they were on the move, the swords wouldn't stop until it hit the mark.

Hal glanced towards Shinji as the boy began to speak again. Hal didn't like th sound of how the other talked and he was getting the feeling this wasn't going to turn out well. While Hal had been looking forward to training with Shinji, this was no way to talk to the already angered student. He saw Shinji relax in his stance after taunting the other. By then Hal knew this was going to end up badly.

As Hal realized the weapons levitating behind the other student had increased, he only became more and more agitated about the situation. Whatever the situation was, this was not the proper time to be showing off one's powers. By that point Hal could just speculate that this other student didn't have full control.

The very moment he saw the first sword fly, he turned towards Shinji with an alarmed expression on his face. "Shinji, get the hell out of here!!" he exclaimed as he himself rushed out of the way of the barrage of blades.

Shinji could only watch as the younger student had his anger rage over his senses and lash out at him. Shinji said nothing but did closely watch the few blades that floated behind him for a while. But soon, Shinji only kept up with what the boy had been saying rather than his blades. he wondered for only a moment if the student could even control his power but then quickly discarded the thought when he heard him say, "You're the one I have a problem with!" as if Shinji hadn't already stated that it was between those two and Hal was left out of it.

Soon, though, Shinji did notice that the quantity of the blades had grown larger after a while. More of them just randomly appearing from no where. Shinji began to only focus on the blades as they seemed to be aimed mainly at him, even though some would hit Hal if he wasn't already moving out of the way. It had finally clicked to Shinji that he had no control over the swords once the boy fell to the ground from ,lose of energy and/or strength. As a result he tried to quickly tap into his own strength but not much was able to come from this due the swords moving quite fast. Only in a little less than half his full potential, Shinji's eyes glowed only dimly, the same as he palms.

"Shinji, get the hell out of here!!" he heard as the swords sliced through the air. Without a lot of reaction time, Shinji fell backwards with his palms out in an attempt to protect himself. In doing so, it had the same result as the night before when he fell from the roof. Multiple pulses pushed from his palms as he feel backwards muttering, "Shit..." Luckily the two pulses were enough to knock most of the blades off course and into another direction, a few did in fact slice Shinji's left arm and the right side of his abdomen. They were only flesh wounds so they would heal nicely...

Eyes still glowing, now brighter than before as time allowed him to reach almost full potential, Shinji got to his knees, holding his wounds. Smoke began to stem from the contact point of his hand and wounds. The electricity in his hand had speed up the healing process slightly but Shinji was unable to notice as he stood up enraged. "Please tell me that wasn't the power that you felt so high and mighty about. The power that you can't even control into the slightest, to be so out of control it almost maned not only me but Hal who has nothing to do with this?!" Though Shinji provoked the kid into doing this, he would have figured that if he was so confident in his power that his mind would be subjected to arrogance about it, the boy would have at least enough control so that it would almost annihilate Hal. Shinji didn't care about himself in this situation because it was pretty much his own fault but Hal was another story.

Ashiel struggled to keep himself up. His hands weakly pushing against the floor. The older boy -Shinji, his mind supplied- had erupted in a fit of rage after Ashiel's own display, albeit uncontrolled, of power. He winced at the words thrown at him.

Despite the simmering anger that he felt, he couldn't deny that because of his lack of skill, someone could have easily gotten hurt. From where he lay, he could already see the cuts that Shinji had gotten from the barrage of swords. Guilt settled in his stomach and he glanced over at Hal to see that he was mostly unharmed, but Ashiel couldn't be too sure.

"I'm sorry." he managed to mutter before wheezing and bursting into a coughing fit. His hands giving way and he fell to the ground where he curled up, an arm wrapping around his middle and the other coming up to cover his mouth as he tried to control himself.

He seemed to have exerted more effort than he had originally thought.

Hal's eyes wrinkled up as he saw their heated argument finally fall into nothing more than a petty squabble. Part of him disappointed, but much more of him was glad neither was badly hurt as he was. But he wasn't entirely sure about the other student. Hal turned to him to see his fallen form. Though he was not injured, Hal had at least enough sense to know that spell or whatever had taken more than enough energy from him.

Having to hear Shinji, again, try to provoke the other student in that state made Hal draw the line. While he was never interested in stepping into people's business, he was right there to know that maybe both of these guys had crossed the line and it was time to stand down. As Hal heard the latter mutter an apology, Hal already decided that he needed to do something.

"Sorry, Shinji," he muttered at least loud enough for the student addressed to hear him. "But I think you both need to step away from each other for a while." he continued, as he began to walk to the one in the cape.

Hal knelt down next to him and lightly patted his back. He knew enough how hard it was to have powers that would constantly affect the physique after each use because of lack of skill to use it. He knew it too well. For a moment, he thought that maybe... just maybe, they had a little more than that in common.

Without turning to Shinji, he said, "Things aren't turning out the way they should be today, wouldn't you think?"

Shinji stood straight up looking into the Kyoto as he calmed. Haha began to help the kid in the cape and everything apparently calmed down. Shinji calmed his abilities as well letting go of the electricity in his body. Crossing his arms, he looked back at the two and began to speak. "It doesn't matter anymore." He paused as he sighed. "Are you still up for training?" He asked directed to Hal.

Already, Shinji had no more interest in the boy and was ready to go on about his day. Obviously Hal would rather get his training done as well. Shinji didn't know what the kid would do after this nor did it really matter to him. He figured that this kid would be the first to dislike him anyways.

Still trying to control his ragged breathing, Ashiel threw Shinji a glare. The guilt that he had felt slowly morphing into something distasteful in his mouth. He could feel Hal's hand on his back and he felt somewhat grateful at the gesture. The newcomer was definitely leagues better than the older boy.

The nerve of him, thinking of just leaving him there on his own and go about his merry way. How dare he. I swear, when I'm powerful enough, you will be the first one to go." he thought to himself. There was no way he was going to leave this guy alone. Once Ashiel's done gathering power and an army, he wasn't going to let this guy go. Doesn't matter if he's going to be a neutral party.

Pushing himself off, he clutched at his side before taking a few steps ahead of him. He didn't get very far before he could feel his legs giving up. He staggered for a bit before righting himsef up again. Ashiel tried to walk towards the door but couldn't get very far before sliding down the wall to catch his breath. He wasn't necessarily sure if he was fine with them leaving him behind, but he supposed it would be better than having to stay in Shinji's company any longer.

"Have fun with your training," he managed to spat out as he closed his eyes to regain some strength back.

'Are you still up for training?' Shot a question directed at Hal. He didn't reply immediately and instead turned to the student right next to him as he struggled to get up. He didn't say anything even as he stood up just to watch him stagger to walk to the door. He knew his responsibility should have been done just by stopping them from killing each other, but his guilt didn't stop there. It just kept eating at him the more he kept on watching.

Hal turned his gaze to Shinji, an apologetic look in his face, "Ah, you know what, I..." he paused, trying reconsider but ultimately deciding he should help anyway,'"I think I should make sure he gets to the infirmary in one piece. Do you mind postponing or something...?" he asked, a little unsure of his own question.

"I'm still up for training but I do't think I can stand knowing he's way too drained to get anywhere. Is that alright with you?" As much as he found Shinji a little overbearing, but he should at least tell him if he was ditching him.

Shinji stood with an expression that should how he felt. It was true that on the inside he wasn't feeling too up to training, with what happened the night before and what happened only minutes ago. "I have no problem with it. It's your training and your choice. Do what you must." Shinji figured he could even use this time productively and get his own training done.

Upon finishing his response, Shinji walked over to the edge of the roof where he was previously sitting, near the broken spot, and sat. Once the two had left and was probably out of sight he would probably chose to push himself off the roof as If he was falling like last night. This way he could figure how to use his pulses. Up untilnow, he had been oonly using them by accident.

Hal waited for Shinji's response and pretty much got what he needed. Despite his neutral response, Hal was sure Shinji probably wanted to be alone for a while. "I guess.. I'll just see you around then." he said with a lopsided smile before turning his attention to the other boy hunched over by the wall.

"Don't argue with me; let's get you to the infirmary." He said to Ashiel. He didn't even wait for him to respond (or protest). To be fair, he didn't want to be around Shinji with a bad mood. <font size="1">[exit]</font>
