Emy rolled on the ground again, seeing it didnt affect them she turned to her ice form and growed iced spikes all over her body.

The golems all rushed at her, unaware of the danger, and as they moved in to strike they were impaled one by one by Emy's spikes, killing them all.

"Nice, guess low level grunts aren't gonna be a problem for you." Vincent praised. "But this is a competition, and slaying hoards of enemies isn't going to be the only obstacle, not by a long shot." Vincent went back to his Tome and activated another spell, a large Rune Circle appeared before Emy, summoning what seemed to be an armored knight made out of Mana. "The real challenge will be one on one fights with other competitors, they won't be nearly as easy to defeat. So, let's see how you fair, En Guard!" As if responding to Vincent's declaration, the Mana Knight pulled out its sword and readied its shield, lowering into a defensive stance.

Emy smirked. ''Hehehe..'' She laughed, creating ice on the floor under the knight, sliding in his legs and backstabbing him.

Before the ice blade hit, the Mana Knight placed its sword behind it and blocked the attack, quickly turning around and landing a shield bash, sending Emy staggering back.

"I told you it wouldn't be that easy." Vincent said with a teasing smirk. The Mana Knight then charged at Emy with its sword held high.

Emy nodded, a little bit confused. ''Okay.. let's dodge and see if he has a weakness.. think of something.. Emy..'' The girl thinked, dodging attacks, trying attacks and failing at her attemps.

The Mana Knight continued tangling with the girl, blocking all of her attacks with its shield and retaliating with its sword, though it made sure not to aim for any vital areas.

"Come on Emy, I thought you were tougher than this?" Vincent teased, hoping to get her a little more motivated.

Emy's eyes turned blood red at the tease. She really didnt like being teased and it fastly annoyed her and made her mad. The girl starred at the mana knight for about 2 seconds and grabbed it's shield with her bare hands and throwing it away. As the knight tried to attack her, she stopped the blade with her hand, ignoring the cut that the blade created in her hand and not caring about the blood dripping on the floor.

As she did that, a black glowing tattoo with weird markings appeared in her neck, making her painless and stronger, somehow.

Emy punched the mana knight with her (other) ice fist and tried pushing it to the ground.

"Whoa, where the hell did all that power come from?" Vincent inquired out loud. He tried to keep the Mana Knight up by feeding it more Mana, but it was no use, Emy tossed to the floor before disappearing under her. Vincent saw her blood red eyes and heaving panting and suddenly felt a little awkward, he hadn't seen that look on her face since the first day of school, when Miranda first started teasing her.

"Hey Emy," He said, gaining her attention. "Look, I'm sorry about what I said, I really didn't mean anything by it." he apologized sincerely.

Emy quickly came back to normal. The tattoo disapeared, her eyes turned back to a normal brown and her fist turned back to normal too. She fell to her knees, seeing her blood on the floor. The girl looked at her injured hand and looked back at Vincent in silence, collapsing and blacking out on the floor, next to where the mana knight fell earlier.

"Emy!" Vincent exclaimed with concern. He dropped the Tome and ran up to the Half-Breed, gently shaking her to try and wake her up. "Emy, Emy are you ok, Emy!" It was pointless, she was out cold. "Damn it, this isn't good." He cursed before taking the girl in his arms and lifting her off the ground. "I need to get you to the nurses office, and fast." With that he was off.

Before really blacking out, Emy barely saw Vincent and heard him. After that, she was gone knocked out.

Once at the infirmary, Vincent waited restlessly as the nurse looked over Emy. "Hmm, it doesn't look like she's injured at all, I think she just used too much energy, she'll be fine after a little rest." The nurse reassured, allowing Vincent to let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness." He said.

"I have to admit, I was a little worried when you brought her in here, I didn't really know what to expect." The nurse said.

"What do you mean?" Vincent inquired.

"Well, Ms. Naito is a Half-Breed, a hybrid between two distinctly different magical creatures, and in her case, vastly different physiologies." She explained. "Treating half breeds is always a little bit of a leap of faith, its not as simple as her having both Werewolf and Frosted Human powers, deeper mutations are bound to happen, so mix the two together and you never really know what you're gonna get."

"So, what happened back there... could've been because of her mixed blood?"

"I can't really be sure, Were-Beast markings are quite common in fact, but for them to have this kind of back lash..."

"...Well, thanks for the help, is it ok if I stick around and wait till she wakes up?" He asked politely.

"Absolutely, stay as long as you want, I'm sure she'll wake up soon." The nurse replied with a smile.

After a couple hours, Emy woke up, wipping her eyes and seeing the cut in her hand. She looked around, worried, realising she was at the nurse's office. ''W-..why am i here?..'' The Wolf girl asked, confused and not remembering anything from after the tattoo appeared. She again looked around the office to see Vincent. ''V-Vincent! What are you doing here?'' Emy asked, worried.

"You passed out during training, I had to carry you here, "here" being the infirmary." Vincent replied, making Emy aware of her surroundings. "You've actually been out for a few hours, are you... ok?" He asked with a look of concern on his face.

"Uh.. Yeah i guess.." She answered, getting up and yawning.

Seeing the worried look on his face, Emy thought for a moment. "If he brought me here and says i blacked out for.. Hours.. That means he stayed here just for.. Me?" She thinked, her eyes turning purple of Shyness and her face a little red. The girl shook her head, wanting to hide her face. "Nah.. I'm sure he was out training again.." Emy thought a after, not wanting to have weird thinks about her friend.

"Listen, I think we should just call it a day for now." Vincent said. "It doesn't seem like a good idea to keep putting strain on you right after you woke up from a mini-coma."

Emy sighed. ''I guess you're right..'' The girl said, getting up and stretching. ''See ya.'' She said, having her eyes still purple. The girl then ran to her dorm where it was empty and lonely.

"Emy wait..." He called to her, but she was gone already. He let out a dejected sigh, calling this a rough start would be an understatement. He couldn't help but blame himself, he knew how much Emy hated being teased, if he had just kept his big mouth shut, maybe she wouldn't have gone ballistic like that.

"Oh, has Ms. Naito left already?" The Nurse asked as she walked back into the room.

"Uh, yeah, she seems to be feeling fine, but we decided to post pone our training for the day, she needs her rest." Vincent replied, regret evident in his voice.

"Yes, I suppose that would be for the best." The Nurse agreed. "I must say though, I'm impressed you actually stayed here all those hours, I wish I had such a dedicated boyfriend when I went here." She stated with a kind smile.

"Yeah... wait HUH?" Vincent exclaimed, a blush finding its way on his face once she realized what she was implying. "No, w-we're not dating or anything... w-we're friends, competing in the Grand Quest Competition together, yeah, that's all." He stammered awkwardly, not convincing the nurse at all.

"Ha Ha, my mistake then, sorry." She apologized.

"It's fine... S-so I'm gonna go now, thanks for all the help." He said before standing walking out the door.

"No problem, good luck kid." She said teasingly, somehow Vincent didn't think she was talking about the competition.

Emy sat on her bed for a moment, thinking. ''Why did i just run away?.. Vincent is just gonna be mad at me now.. ugh.. i am so stupid..'' She thought, laying in the bed and covering herself with a blanket. Even if it wasnt eventually late, she got to sleep. The nurse proposed to relax and rest.

Vincent got his stuff from the training grounds and went back to his room. He got out his phone and sent Emy a text. 'Get some rest, ok, if you're up for it, we can try training again tomorrow, but for now, just focus on getting better." He hit send and it was off. He sat at his computer, again odd that a inter-dimentional magic school has internet connection, and looked up whatever he could on Half-Breeds, specifically Were-Beast and Elemental Half-Breeds.
