"I'm fine... And the name's Vanessa."
She sighed, the hard blow to her head finally making her snap out of her fatigue. She then looked around, before noticing that her sheathed weapon was on the ground. She picked it up, but it slipped out of the sheath, falling on the ground. A rapier, but with a gun strapped close to the hilt. It had a trigger on it's handle, and the gun itself had a symbol on the right side of it that would be of easy identification for Kovac. Two flames coiling eachother, the Kovac Workshops symbol.
She simply let out a grunt as she sheathed it again, before strapping it on her back. She then looked at the Senior student, smiling.
"Now, i believe you should tell us your name."

“She’ll be fine,” Stanislav said waving a hand towards the taller girl, “She’s young enough for teeth to grow back. I think?” He was about to add more when suddenly the girl took to the air, hovering eye level with him. He opened his mouth to speak, but stopped at the sudden absence of words. He tried to find it again, mouth closing and opening a few more times but they were already gone. Instead he snapped the book shut and picked the first ones that came to mind has he clasped the younger girl’s hand in his own, shaking once, “Stanislav.” He said, before adding a simple “So how does that work then?” Nodding to the giant wing pack mounted on her back.
As the taller one stood up, and gave her name, he couldn't help but catch the insignia engraved in her weapon, "A pleasure to meet you, Vanessa and Ciela" He said, turning his head to look at her, "Interesting sword you carry there, is it a Legion piece?" He already knew the answer of course, it was a true-blue Kovac piece, all original as well. He just wanted to here her talk about it a little, tickle his pride and what not.

Ciela looked over her shoulder, and her eyes started to sparkle. "I'msogladyouaskedIbuiltitmyself - wellwithmydadshelp - butstillIbuiltitImaintainitIloveit," paused to take a deep breath, doing a spin in the air to show off the pack itself., "butitsaDustpoweredwingpackitusesVioletDusttokeepmeintheairandIuse *gasp* thewingstocontrolmyflightandwhereIgoandalsothewings *gasp* cancomeofftobecomeagreatswordortwosmallerswordsanditsnameisCloudburstQueenanditsmine AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" She was breathing very heavy, needing a second to regain herself after speaking so fast for so long.

"Off to the training grounds," Chrohn ordered not to anyone in particular, if anything it was more so to himself. It had been some time since he'd last taken a portion of his day to dedicate exclusively to his training. Typically, free time was often spent catching up on sleep, studies, sleep or video games due to how often Chrohn had been out and about, what with working at the store, dealing with official reports regarding the events that transpire at the Pendragon Funeral, and the occasional mission. Sure, as of right now Chrohn managed to get some pretty spiffy on the job training, but time dedicated to refining a craft of life was important especially seeing as how a Do-or-Die situation will eventually stop hitting Do and finally land on Die.
His goal for the training grounds was to work a bit on aerial combat with his hover-board and sword as Chrohn typically only ever used one or the other at a time, but never both at once. Now, this wasn't a bad thing, only using one or the other at a given time, but the gambler knew he could operate at a higher level of efficiency in combat, especially if he could be incredibly mobile and hit like a brick.
The path to the Training Grounds was fairly crowded, but his method of transport let him leave those problems behind as Ama's scarf flickered in the wind. His attire for this trip wasn't too atypical from Chrohn's norm, but still different. Chrohn had forgone the blue jacket, and changed out of his black pants into a pair of dark cargo shorts that fell below the knee, the day was too nice and he'd be exhausted from the heat alone if he had kept how he was. Aside from that however, he kept his typical sleeveless, yellow shirt, the pink scarf, combat boots and his sword strapped to his back.
I like the quiet that's felt in the air, it gives me the time to relax and think, he thought as minutes passed on his way to his destination. Before, he would simply use the board to get over buildings, but the administration wasn't to fond of that. Some unimportant stuff of potential property damage if anything failed, so Chrohn flew over his peers instead. Do I actually like thinking to myself though? It tends to get boring, and I get into arguments that I can never win... It was this internal conversation that continued until he hit the doorstep of the training grounds. His transportation method wasn't changed upon entering the building, but when he entered the arena, he flew for a few moments and hopped off.
And people were here, surprisingly when the area was statistically be the most dead. "Uh...hi?" He started up," you guys training in here? I don't mind partners." He initially planned to train against dummies, but real people worked better. Hell, that ghost called Guilt's Past said making friends would be good for a man.

"It's actually a piece made in the Kovac Workshops, in Setek. Pretty good weapon."
She shrugged, noticing the newcomer that had just showed himself. Vanessa waved a hi at him, smiling. Even if she didn't exactly know him, she knew that he was a Sophomore due to having seen him in her classes. She then puts her sword back into her back, and her hands go behind her head.
"Well... A extra partner would be nice. Ciela, whadya think?"

Ciela zipped through the air to right in front of Chrohn's face, hovering there and studying him for a moment. She had absentmindedly kicked one of her legs back while they were dangling in the air. "Why not! I'm Ciela. What's your name?" She smiled even wider, extending a hand to Chrohn.

Almost immediately upon entrance, if not a few seconds past, Chrohn was greeted by two faces: one semi-familiar and distant and the other unknown and incredibly close, beyond Chrohn's immediate comfort zone. I don't know her yet, this is faaaaaar too close, he thought, almost startled. At least the greeting was friendly enough. After a second had passed and the gambler had collected himself internally. he shot a hand back at the floating girl, clasping her hand in a firm handshake. A brightness possessed Chrohn's face for a moment as he returned the greeting," I'm Chrohn, and I guess we'll be sparring partners of sorts."
It made Chrohn happy on the inside that someone seemed to know the value of the sky and the freedom it allowed, but he didn't point this out. No, that was far too weird, especially seeing as how people here have plenty of similar weapons over the large student mass attending the school. Bonding over weapons and similar battlefield ideals was far too weird.
So...I managed to issue a challenge, but where do I go from here? I typically end up training by myself, so I don't know what happens next. Do we fight, do we talk and then fight, what? This was to be rewarding in both senses of experience that Chrohn would come to receive, both physically and socially.
***Notes, I wanted Chrohn to say Battle-Buddies, but that's outta place for him***

Vanessa looked at him up and down, before coming really close and starting to walk in circles, looking all over him. She then made a thumbs up gesture before giggling at him.
"Well then, you look fine and dandy to join us. But would you mind showing us what you have as a weapon? Just for the sake of killing curiousity."
She stood there, waiting for him to answer her question. She didn't exactly wanted to just see the gun, but to get to know it before the sparring. It would be of great help to know it well.

Stanislav briefly contemplated how training seemed to be the formal greeting in these parts, that or elaborate duels. He was about to voice these opinions when the other two visitors took the newcomer up on his offer, even going to far as to challenge him to present arms. Or maybe he was looking at this from far too formal a standpoint. Then a devious idea cropped up in the back of his mind, worming its way right to the front. That is: was she putting the sword to goid use?
Without saying a word he stood up and strode to the pile of finished weapons, moving a few pieces aside until he found what he was looking for: his war gear. Pulling out the greatsword and pistol from the pile, he took a moment to admire the the weight of Obelus, before swinging the thing in a slow figure of eight, a low thrumming sound stirring the air as he did, before planting it in the ground. With a snap he affixed the pole to the pommel, the monolithic Weapon towering over everyone there. The Kovac sigil carved into various points along the haft and crossguard.
“If it's alright with you, I'd like to partake in this bout.” He said running a hand over the sigils, before pulling the sword-spear from the ground, “I'd rather like to see who has the better Kovac sword, wouldn't you?”

"What in the name of all that is righteous is going on here!?" A white haired boy walks into the courtyard. His eyes are still drooped but they seem to be open. His blue hoodie is lazily hanging off him, so it seems he put it on in frustration. "Do you guys not even care about other peoples sleep time!? Seriously. Try to sleep in but noooooooo. Some jerk has to fly around." He rubs his neck. His Katana is on his back and two daggers on his hips. "Now....Can someone point me to the person whos trying to fly around like a fraggin' airplane?" He adjusts his hoodie to make it comfortable.
