21 Moving ou (1/2)

We assembled with the rest of the cadets gather in a hall. While traveling up the hall there was some kind of commotion going on. A young squire was talking to a group of older squires, and it didn't look pretty.I broke from my team and made my way further up to Ramza.

”The only thing of note...” the young squire looked up from his paperwork amongst the group quickly stammering at the older boy. ”A.a ..an ...no..another shipment of supplies was attacked. All the goods were ransacked and the mercenary that did the transport all died. The caravan was struck last night on its way to Eagrose.”

The older boy snarled at the boy.”Was it the Corpse Brigade again?” He gestured towards the others getting there attention.

Before the squire was able to answer the older boy turned around and declared loudly, ”the filthy peasants should all be killed. Who is with me? Leave them all dead at sort this out after.”

Ramza said to his squad, ”I wonder where all this leads...Delita, what do you make of this?”

”I'm not sure. I have my guesses, but...I think Duke Larg is coming to Garland.” Delita said as he gazed into the crowd to see how they will react to the situation at hand. His teeth clenched when none moved to help.

Ramza placed his hand in front of Delita gesturing for him to continue, ”I'm listening. Wait did you say Duke Larg? Why?

”Not just the duke. The marquis Elmdore de Limberry, too. All of Ivalice is in turmoil. The Order's supposed to be keeping things under control, but the fact is, they number too few.” Delita said in a firm tone as looked at Ramza.

”That's the first I've heard of it. This has not the sound of a state visit. Hmm, what are you doing here cousin?” Ramza said to his team before addressing me.

”So little cousin are you just gonna stare or will you do something?”I glared at Ramza and Delita I strode forward to the fool that was 'preaching'.

Paragon +5

Everyone started to get riled up with the fool. Biotic strands flowed into me freely. Most were just little whispers of fear that turned into anger in the wrong direction and at the wrong foe.

”Get your stupid arse down at once!” More than just say It I kind of bellowed out, commoner's and/or peasants are not livestock to be slaughtered. If you truly think that take off that uniform, you are undeserving of it!”

Renegade + 13

”So, the mute finally decides to speak finally. This is all you have to say, pitiful brat.” The older squire mockingly talks down to me.

I ignore him and continue to address the crowd. I activate Lv2 1251/3000 Mental Cleansing on them trying to get there head straight. I don't need them going out acting recklessly. I spit over my shoulder and start to walk back to my group. Stopping at the young messenger, ” here let me help you up. Everyone is just rattled from what's going no need to be alarmed, ” extending my left hand outward for him to take.

The messenger looks down and starts to grab his scattered papers and mumbles, ” You need not to concern yourself with me, my lord it is fine.” He looks up at me with a strained smile while nodding his head.

Galtea: Check out the paperwork as quickly as you can. There may be some classified Infomation.

'That makes sense thanks.Activating Lv2 145/150 Adrenaline Rush.'

”Ah”, I let out an audible sigh to show my disappointment. I then begin to pick up the immediate papers near myself. Glancing over most of the contents before handing it to him.

”Oi, you coward turn and face me. Do not think you can just disrespect me and walk away like nothing happened.” The older squire walks down his makeshift stage and up to me while drawing his sword.

I turn around slowly looking him dead in the eyes. ”You really don't wanna do this you little cub. You should just try worrying about yourself and your team before others. Or hey, just a thought use your power to help direct that anger at the other nobles who are abusing the laws and inciting rebellion.”

Tia moved herself to the head of the crowd and began to draw her sword. ”Master let me deal with him, you shouldn't exert yourself too much.” She had a resolute looking in her eyes.

Perception Check: 18

I noticed the other squire in my group had his blade drawn and ready for combat.

”No, it is fine. I need to fight more. Acting the way I have lately will only hinder me. Stand back Tia and the rest of you as well. No reason for anyone to get hurt because of us.”

The older squire lunged at me with from my side. Saw him coming a mile away with the residual effects of my adrenaline rush still going. Activating my Lv4 43 /110 Biotic Shielding using it to take the brunt of the blow.

Renegade + 3

'Now this is a good time to hone my skills and try those upgrades. Should make it easier for me to meet up with Alistair. I focused my biotic shield to a smaller state giving it a deeper tint but less coverage area. For every blow of his, I parried with my left. On the last strike, he pulled back.

”Draw your sword, And fight me seriously.” Old Squire said as he fixed his stance. He started to calm himself and drew magic into himself.

Galtea: Do not use your Eldar sword or your misty fist.

'Why the heck not!?' I thought quickly to Galtea. I am no where near the level where I should take it easy on opponents. Is this due to the upgrades.' I asked Galtea exasperatedly she should have said beforehand.

Dodging to the left his sword went past my right side. Barely even scratching my clothes. Steeping over to the side I brought my left to the front. My biotic arm came down on his sword.

”Ting,” the contact of my shield hitting his sword echoed in the hall. His sword held against my blow. He looked slightly shaken from the impact.

I took a step forward reaching up with my right arm. Grabbing onto his collar I decide to attempt a knockout blow.

Strength Check: 23 Renegade +23

I pulled him by the collar into my left fist. A sickening crunch came out upon contact. My hand was fine when I eased it back, his nose, forehead, and cheekbones had cuts and was bleeding slowly.

Galtea: That's why. Your misty fist combined with your new strength is extremely deadly. The only reason he is not dead is due to your biotic shielding not meant for melee. More for defense. Especially using your ability on a squire who happens to just be a level three. If it was a level one complete scrub what do you think would happen. Also when you get the chance get another sword to use. The Eldar sword should not be used on regular people or allies mind you. Save it for the important people and battles.

”Tsk,” 'Fine fine you are right about that.' Everyone was staring at the outcome of the little skirmish. ”Give him a potion dammit! Don't just stand there like fools. This was just a dispute that was solved with our fist not one to the death.” Several cadets scrambled for a potion. Soon some of them realize that they were a chemist. A minute or two later the old squire was back to his senses. I walked up to the man ”sorry about the excessive force you sorta hit a sore spot for me with your speech.”

”Aye sire you are correct. I may have been out of line with some of what I said but too many people are dying due to this war.” He got up off the floor and looked me in the eye. ”Most of what I said came from my own hatred at.. what the peasants did to my family.I can't just forget what they have done.”

His magic started to die down as he calmed himself. I felt a biotic strand of helplessness leave him. Here was a man that lost something quite important to him that led him on a track of destruction. I activate observe to see who this man was.

Galtea: There is an optional mission available would you like to take it?

'I.. yah know what sure Galtea we will try to do it on the way I forgot how I need all the exp I can get.' Reading on what came with observe I tried to make heads or tails of the info.
