| "It wasn't too long ago... I was an instructor at Akuryou Academy - a school of young assassins. I had just finished an evaluation of a new student, and an unnamed figure entered the arena, clearly too old to be a student, though he was young. He didn't appear to be armed, and challenged the student and I in to a 2 verses 1, just for fun. The student had run off to complete a task I had given him. There was a third person in the room, who was dozing on the otherside of the translucent paper walls of the arena. The challenger, in an attempt to make himself appear tough and intelligent, tossed a pair of knives from his sleeve in the dozing one's direction, accusing him of eavesdropping. It was my impulse, of course, to draw Hotaka-Nori immediately, which I pressed against the assailant's throat and advised him to bow out of the situation and engage in his merry sport elsewhere. He, overcome in his own belligerance, tossed a pair of knives at my chest, quite quickly, I might add. The silly man had talent for speed, but not so for brains. My armored vest hadn't been removed. The knives struck my chest, and fell to the floor harmlessly, and I slit his throat just as quickly. I found the whole ordeal to be quite amusing..." [Reflection of Actual RP, June '05] |
