Professor Goodwitch stood in the center of a large circular arena at the bottom of a large set of theater seating. The woman adjusted her glasses, looking out at the students in front of her. A few more students hustled into the room panting just as the bell rang.

"Good morning students, and welcome back to class for the new semester," Professor Goodwitch greeted as she looked over the students in the seats and quickly took inventory. "Good to see that we have all of made it back, and it also seems that we have several of our new students sitting in today. As such, I feel like it would be good to start this semester and the new year with a demonstration. I do hope none of you were slacking on your training during the break," she said, looking over the crowd and seeing several students shift uncomfortably.

"This first match will be a two on two match," Glynda explained as she looked over the students on her scroll. "The first pair will be Darian Nightshade and Alice Jager from team SPAD, and the second pair will be Elroy Osmail and Wendy Castrenn of team EDWS. Students please grab your equipment and make your way to the floor please."

Darian and Alice got up from their seats in the audience and made their way down to the adjacent locker rooms. "Well this is a great way to start out the year," Darian said slightly grumpily, still half asleep. "This is gonna be one hell of a fight."

Alice simply smiled brightly as she went to her locker and retried her weapon and ammo, making sure there was a round in the chamber. "Darian, how do you think this fight is gonna go?" she asked hooking her weapon onto its holster across the back of her belt.

"Well...Elroy is gonna try to harass us non stop, and Wendy is going to... well what is she going to do?" Darian questioned getting his sword and placing it on his back. "She does long range support and scouting, but this is an open arena with no cover and not a lot of land."

"So we should probably try to take her out first right?" Alice asked as they headed out  to the arena.

Darian simply nodded, not wanting to say anything else that may be able to be overheard as they approached their opponents.

As the pairs faced off against each other in the center of the arena, Professor Goodwitch stood off to the side of them. "This will be a tournament style duel between the four of you," she explained as she hit a few buttons on her scroll and their aura levels popped up on the holo-screens above them. "This will be a good demonstration of things to come, as this will simulate the doubles rounds of the Vytal Festival happening later this year. Students at the ready."

As their teacher instructed Darian and Alice took their fighting positions, Alice drawing her weapon while Darian placed his hand upon the hilt of his massive blade. The two were already in sync, making slight adjustements to both of their stances to compesnate for the other. They were also sizing up their opponents from EDWS. They were nearly matched identically in skills, techniques, and equipment. There was no way this would be an easy fight for either team.

Professor Goodwitch slowly made her way to the edge of the arena to judge the match, knowing all too well the battlefield that was about to explode before her from the four students. She allowed some moments to pass between them, allowing each team the opportunity to ready themselves or make mistakes. Seeing clearly that neither team was going to flinch or get distracted from the task ahead of them Professor Goodwitch hit another button on her scroll, sounding off a loud buzzer marking the beginning of the match.
