One...two...three…
With every successful strike with the breadstick weapons, the excitement burning in Amara’s chest burned more intense. She had put down a few of the Cherry Pie Filling Bandits in her initial assault, dropping down to her knees just before one of them tossed a volley of meatballs in her direction. She felt like, if this kept up, she’d probably grind her knees down to bloody stumps. The very thought of such a thing sent an uncomfortable chill down her spine. “Ugh, gross!” She scoffed loudly, springing up to her feet as she struck the meatball assailant in the jaw with one of the breadsticks. The kid’s teeth snapped together, the sound eating up what little silence there was around them.
“M-my teeth! I think you broke one!” The student cried, curling up into a fetal position as he kept his mouth covered.
“Hmph!” Amara grunted, setting her hands on her hips as she loomed over the boy, flashing a pleased grin as he curled up in pain. “Better watch who you try to tango with, buddy!” She added, her grin growing a little more proud as the boy revealed a broken front tooth. “Were the circumstances different, a lot more than a tooth probably would’ve been broken.” As she suddenly began reaching towards the boy with her left hand, he curled up almost instantly. Instead of striking him, as he and some spectators might have expected, she instead set a firm grip on the boy’s arm and pulled him to his feet.
“In all seriousness though, you should go get that looked at, my dude.” She said, motioning to one of her teeth to hopefully get the message across. “Didn’t mean to break it, either. So sorry, I guess?” The boy responded with a quiet whine before shuffling away in near tears. The ensuing chaos had diverted Amara’s attention enough for her to not notice a boy sneaking up on her from behind - preparing to unleash upon her an attack with a side order of ribs. Amara turned to face the intended attacker just as he was disposed of by another boy - the one she had seen that girl cross paths with - armed with a pineapple. With her attacker taken care of, Amara prepared to thank the young man, only to be interrupted by an attack from above.
Mashed potatoes…
The bane of all existence, Amara detested the substance with every fiber of her being. It wasn’t just gross and bland in taste, at least in her opinion, but it was also super starchy. Such foods made stuffing one’s face almost impossible, at least as far as she was concerned. Amara’s eyes followed the trajectory of the mashed potato bowl, the metallic object’s fluffy white contents reflecting against her deep blue eyes as they loomed overhead. Time, if only for a split second, seemed to move in slow motion. Her bright eyes slowly shifted over to the boy, her jaw hanging open slightly as she reached in the Bull Faunus boy’s direction. “Hey, watch out!” She called to him, her hand fully extended in his direction as he noticed the bowl.
It was too late! The boy was struck, the bowl colliding with one of his horns and covering his poor dark hair in the nasty fluff that was mashed potatoes. Amara cringed at the scene for a moment, her attention ultimately zapped away by a sudden flashes of light from further away. She squinted as she tried to hone in on what was producing the flashes, only occasionally catching a glimpse of a girl that seemed a little familiar. It didn’t occur to her immediately, but when she finally caught the source of the light with her own eyes, Amara realized it was a girl. She was a Freshman, she presumed, and she had sat near “The Girl” that sat across from Amara before things got crazy. “A Speed Semblance, huh?” She murmured under her breath. “Heyyy, that’s pretty coooool!”
"All shall become fodder before the wrath of the white death! Send your food towards me, and provide me with more ammo foolish mortals!"
The girl’s edict made the corners of Amara’s lips curl up into a devilish smile, and she quickly snatched up a small plastic container filled with creamed corn, aiming it in the girl’s direction. “Hey, Kitten! Catch!” She called out, tossing the container with all her might. The black container spun like a finely thrown football, the contents swirling together in a variety of yellowish hues through the clear plastic lid. Amara worried the lid would detach itself, giving the impression she was making some sort of attack. The anticipation was enough to put a knot in the small girl’s stomach, her deep blue eyes fixed on the container with so much focus she - once again - kind of disconnected by the impromptu battlefield.
It would be the sound of singing that ultimately tugged her from the anticipating stupor, turning around with a dazed look to see “The Girl” skating across the cafeteria in her direction - on a lunch tray. A quiet giggle escaped her lips, though the brief moment of elation was interrupted by the sudden arrival of another intended attacker. Amara brought up her breadstick weapons, prepared to defend herself from the celery wielding attacker. The Girl got there first though, chopping through the boy’s weapons with a swordfish - a comically large weapon compared to those used by the other students. The interruption sent Amara falling backward, landing on her rear with a loud “Oomph!” as her eyes rose to meet The Girl again.
"Well met sir! Now have at you, you son of a silly person! I blow my nose at you! I fart in your general direction!"
With a quiet snicker, Amara watched with anticipation as The Girl and her opponent squared off with their weapons - his salami stick versus her swordfish. Every time one of them got close to striking the other, she felt her stomach flop. Anticipation mounted as the clash reached what Amara perceived as its climax, her heart racing and her grin getting wider up until the salami was forced free of the boy’s hands, only to be replaced by a gross melon. Amara prepared to come to The Girl’s aid, but she was quick to deal with the boy on her own terms. A few cuts and an “A” later, and the boy had been taken care of. Amara’s eyes were wide and full of bewilderment, her jaw hanging open slightly as she smiled.
“DUUUUUDE!” She cheered, throwing her right hand high into the air in a balled fist. “That was SO COOL! Who are you!?”
