A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.

The sound of rain hitting the ground, small splashing sounds, as the already wet ground of the school roof was building puddle, filling the air. The rain coming down hard, from dark clouds overhead, without seeming as there would be a break any time soon. Steven stood inside, at the small landing of the stairs that lead to the roof. Looking out of the door, propped open by a loose brick, and to the storm. A flash streaked across the sky, far in the distance, lightning came down from on high. A few seconds would pass before the rumble of thunder followed. This wasn't the best weather but it would do.
Steven pulled his phone out, texting a number that he had not in quite sometime. Leon Sudeki, head of the Lightning Gang. A group that Steven had once belonged to, and had left after a huge mess in facing RIOT and a brief disappearance of some of it vital members.
'Meet me at the roof. We should talk.'
'Rocket'
Not a name he had used much in the pass, and never really since. He hadn't chosen it, but Leon would know who it was. Or at least, if the group he lead was much a family as he claimed, then the man should remember.

Leon was sitting in his home room, surrounded by the now converted LG members of the class. He was taking notes on Qi abilities he had run into so far, trying to decipher Qi from equipment with mystical features. He felt his phone go off though, usually that had been going off due to challenges, RIOT sightings or updates on specific assignments each member of LG had been sent on. Putting his pen down he'd check and sure enough, a name popped up he hadn't seen in some time. Let alone it seemed the reigning faction leader wanted to discuss something.
Leon put his things away and handed them off to one of the others and left for the meeting. However he remembered Steven, and Leon grabbed two of his LG crew to come along. He'd open the door to the roof and look around for 'Rocket'. Once spotted Leon would have the two hang back and he himself would walk over.
"Well, well. The Like-Minded. Reigning holders of the throne. That's surprisingly ambitious of you."

Steven would as he saw Leon coming towards him, spread his arm so the other man could see his hands. There was an animosity from Steven towards the LG leader, however Steven was unsure if Leon actually knew, or if the other man returned it. So keeping things as civil to start as possible, seemed like a reasonable plan.
"It's no throne, but a duty, and one that seems to have made quite a few people angry at me at that. Did you hear the offer that was made, for groups to seemingly vote on issues that I can control, that I wouldn't just take power and attempt to enforce my will on others?"
Steven asked, he knew that there had been LG members at his little display, however he didn't know how much they may have filtered down to Leon, or up to him...whatever.
"We have are difference Leon, that's why I left. But you still have friends of mine in your group. I need to know if you are on board with what I'm trying to do. That you can be there leader and the respobility that entails, and that if you ain't and that you come after me. That you would do me the favour of not forcing me to fight the Allen or Phoebe."

Leon had heard of the democracy Steven was trying to create with himself as president. It was an interesting concept and Leon was still debating Lg's involvement in said hierarchy. Leon was a fan of the pillar system, as he was a fan of conflict, this system took away the conflict and thus stifled the growth of the people. However it was a good system to get things accomplished beyond the regular bickering of the many factions as evident from the Summit. Leon was not angry at Steven, nor did he hold any animosity towards the guy. Steven had his ways and methods, Leon had his. Different views entirely and thus it didn't work out.
"I wouldn't force family to fight family, 'Rocket'. What you are trying to do is a good system as well, but LG is busy dealing with Orochi, RIOT, and FEAR. I have no sights for the reigning faction anytime soon, nor do I wish for the pillars to vanish. If we end up going against each other, we will talk, come to agreeable terms, then settle it however we decide. But like I said, LG is busy dealing with other issues right now."

Steven was slightly glad to hear, that LG didn't seem to have intention of going after his title at this time. Understanding Leon goals in aiming for Orochi. However he found it weird that Leon had mention RIOT and Fear as well. Fear didn't seem to be doing anything recently, and even digging Steven had uncovered nothing about them. RIOT on the other hand, Steven had heard it had been suggested that a temporary alliance be made with them. When he said deal, maybe he meant not being taking in so much that they could take him off guard.
"I thought RIOT was supposedly help go after Orochi, Saya didn't deny that when I mentioned it. It for that exact reason I'm doing what I'm doing. Taking on Orochi, people are going to get hurt, there are going to be casualties on both sides. I won't let RIOT exploit that afterwards. I am to be here ready for them. However as much as I don't want to effect the pillar system, I will say one thing I need people in those roles who will stand beside me. As well as be ready to take them on myself."
There would be a long pause as Steven was trying to will himself to say what came next.
"Train me.

Leon looked down and folded his arms in contemplation of how to explain things.
"It's a cease fire. Until Orochi is dealt with, LG promised not to specifically target RIOT. However that ends the very moment the last snake dies."
Leon's eyes were full of intensity at the concept. RIOT wouldn't have time to take advantage of the losses, LG would be right there to make them regret any choice like that. However he was caught completely off guard by the next statement. Steven wanted training? In what way? Why? That's it.
"Why? You're sitting at the top."

Steven understood that the RIOT thing was a ceasefire, that wasn't exactly the point. The point was that Steven didn't believe that RIOT would let themselves take the heaviest loses in what was to follow. They had taken control of Apex once, tried to do the same to LG. Steven highly expected that whatever assault was made, that while RIOT may lose members it was the gangs of 552 that would suffer more, and that RIOT would exploit that fact. However Leon's confusion to his request when he asked, was pretty easy to counter.
Steven would remove the bottle of water from his pocket, the lighter, the can of deodorant, even the folded up cane he sometimes used as a weapon. Dropping them to the ground by his side, Steven would then remove the jacket completely and there would be be a clutter of sound as Steven dropped atop the other items, more thing in the pockets that Steven used, or had plan and trick in the making.
"I fight in a way, with whatever tools I can. I'll never stop doing so, if I believe that in the end the least harm is done to those that don't deserve it. However I cannot let myself become reliant on such things exclusively. There will be those that don't fall for them, those who trickery out does mine, and on those days I will need to be able to stand without them, and I'm not confident that I can."
---
OOC: If the fight goes on, I am limiting myself to only stats and Qi. No item abilities, just the stats those items provide. With one exception for the following item.
Riot Armor +5 Con: Armor taken from one of the Riot Strongmen. It's light and durable, sacrificing no mobility and granting moderate protection. One post per 15 INT, the user can gain an additional +10 Con for a total of +15. Two uses may be stacked at a single time, granting +20 CON, this however requires 30 INT.

Leon remained silent through the explanation of Steven's want to become more confident in a throw down rather than a fight filled with strategic tricks and traps. It made sense, Leon hadn't seen him fight until back in the day and it was true he wasn't the best in a straight one on one. Pondering what Steven saw in his current future or recent past that would drive him to need the confidence in this area. He always seemed confident he could do whatever was needed through planning and being prepared.
"Very well."
Leon would take a breath. He had been doing a lot of fighting in the rain recently. And his abilities were dangerous for both people in the rain, so he would have to hold back those moves for now.
"Well let's see what you can dish."
Leon would stabilize himself and prepare for Steven to make a move.

Steven would wait until he saw that Leon had seem to prepared himself before moving, there was no point in this endervor if he attacked taking advantage of Leon not being ready. Filled completely with doubt and worries, with something to prove. Steven channelled all that emotion through him as he blanked his mind and charged. The speed at which Steven moved at Leon would have vastly above what Leon would expect from there previous battle. Only one man, so far would have faced Steven at this level, and that had been sure desperation when his abilities had first awoken. Now it was time to push them to the limit.
Steven sense would blur, but his eyes would forcible adjust as best the could, as Steven would feint. getting in range with his left leg leading, Steven would turn his body as if to bring his right hand in a palm for Leon's gut. Only for Steven to turn his foot and hop up to the left of Leon in a leap of a step, bring his left hand with the base of his palm at Leon collar. Hoping that the other man could take this level. His hand crackling with small spark, but nothing compared to this storm.

Leon stayed un-moving as Steven charged, it wouldn't matter either way as the man became a blur of sorts, as he came in he could make out the general position if Steven's body and knew he was going for a gut shot, however Leon didn't react. If it was all speed and no power, it didn't matter much to him, however when Steven's form changed completely into his jumping strike... Leon couldn't follow it.
~What?!~
He hadn't suspected Steven to take a secondary attack option and was nailed hard in the collar sending him back a few steps. The hit was hard, and solid. Palm strike did good for surface damage and protected Steven's knuckles, not to mention the vibrations from such surface area and how solid the power is behind a palm strike was good for internal damage as well. Steven also aimed for a part of the body that likely isn't trained to take damage, and swelling in that area can cause issues with striking and breathing, as well as blood flow. It was a good hit, precise, with purpose, thought out.
"You're the third person I've seen move that fast..."
Leon would comment. Taking a second to pat the area Steven hit, keeping up his faux boxing stance. He was very impressed, Steven's growth was massive, right up there with the rest of the people from six months ago. The Ex-Second Pillar could barely contain himself with the amount of joy he felt. He'd motion Steven to continue unless he had already remained on the attack.

Steven would indeed remain on the attack, as his blow hit causing Leon to stagger back Steven would land right foot first. Letting his downward momentum from falling lead in to him crouching as he did, left leg coming around not as fast as his first attack had, but in a sweep at Leon's leading knee, while he was off balance in hope to take the leg out and send the man to the floor. As Steven attacked, the desire of proving to himself, that he could fight without there arsenal he had would seem to radiate around him, in such confident assurance that it would hopefully shake Leon and make him more likely to mess up countering or avoiding Steven follow up. The words in blood like tattoo, joined with the rose tattoo glowing.

Aura of Death (Tier 3) [One post per 15] : Steven turns raw emotion into a invisible aura around himself. Radiating hostility and intimidating those around him. Depending on the person, depends on how this fear may effect them. Those with 1/2 Steven's INT, become sure the resisting will only increase the pain suffering and will want to escape, if they fight on they suffer -5 to all stats. Those with INT less but more then 1/2 Steven's INT, feel that continuing to fight is a bad idea and suffer -5 to DEX, WIS, and INT. Those with INT equal to or greater then Steven's suffer -5 WIS. (While this is in effect, the Metuo tattoo on his arm glows.) (2 of 4 used, Leon INT less then Steven, but not less by 1/2, Leon suffers -5 DEX, WIS and INT)

In the stumble it felt like an odd pressure surrounded the area a bit. Like something seeping off Steven... Confidence, a desire of achievable victory. He was in it to win it. Leon's grin grew into a smile at the feelings exuding from Steven. It made his body almost shutter. However the kick came out for his knee was too fast either way and it slammed tilting him. His hand however would catch him in the fall and Leon would use it to push himself back up. Steven helped him halt his momentum with that kick.
He knew better than to go to the ground against any 552er, but he also knew Steven would be right there so his right arm would of been brought close to his chest in front of him, just in case. Getting both legs under him would need to be done in a hurry. Steven's power had dwindled a bit. He wondered if it had something to do with his aura. Or perhaps Steven became a Qi user, it made sense if that were true. Steven was a pretty smart guy and figuring this stuff out would be a cinch for him.

As Steven leg took out Leon's causing him to half fall to the side, Steven would not stop spinning. As Leon pushed to try and get back to his feet, however as he did. Leon would be met wiht Steven having stopped facing away from him and back flipping. Steven right leg would come over and downwards at Leon once more aimed for the collar where Steven had previously struck. Having fell in that direction, it would have been that arm that had to push Leon back to his feet and hopefully that would mean that Leon would be less able to block.
If the blow landed in, Steven would kick his feet against the air and jump away from Leon and into a rolling tumble across the floor that would create some distance once more and bring him in a low crouch facing Leon. If the kick missed Steven would do the same in order to get away from any counter stroke.
However Steven would already be formulating a plan on how to fight if Leon managed to block or catch the blow.

Icarus Step (Tier 1) [Once per 5 INT] : Steven can perform a jump mid-air. Steven must be moving under his own power, to perform this jump.

It was going to be hard enough to push himself back up let alone deal with the new weight from Steven's attack Steven also being airborne in Leon's native country he was too fast at this point to deal with properly, so he fell back absorbing some of the blow by being in free fall himself. Leon would roll and push himself up to a standing position. A huge toothy grin on his face as he rolled his shoulder and rotated his neck a bit.
"Jeeze... Remember when I was the force to be reckoned with?"
Leon would chuckle for a second before staring at Steven. He was doing this for self gratification. He wanted to know he could stand on high, on even ground, with someone around his own ability. Or was it he still thought Leon was one of those forces that could take what he earned? Either way, Leon would sigh after his chuckle. A static aura overcoming his form, his hair turning a jade green, his muscles bulging. A dark line surrounding his eyes.
It was Leon's turn to attack, right hand taking the form of a fist, left open palm, up in front of his body as he moved in moving his arms up and down separately, before stepping in with his left foot to reach out with his palm to try and grab Steven but either an arm or his clothes.
Raijin Power (Tier 1) - Leon can call on his Qi to send electricity through his body increasing the output of every part of his body. Leon can increase one of his physical stats (Str/Dex/Con) by +10 for 1 post for every 5 INT. -5 to that stat for every post ability was used. 1/5

Steven landed and rolled into his crouch and saw Leon doing the same and getting to his feet, Steven would stand and watch his arms moving as he came in. Focusing intently on Leon as a whole Steven would see him leading with his left leg and as such expected then normal attack to be coming from that side. However the way Leon held his palm open, Steven would not was different from the manner in which Steven did with his normal offensive palm strikes, giving away some what there intention to grab.
Instead of trying to deal with the arm aiming to grab by moving it aside, an action that Steven expected would only in turn lead to Leon turning an arm and grabbing his wrist instead, something Steven couldn't allow because of his less skill in a fight once a grapple started. Steven would lean back quickly and stick his own left foot out in a slide forward. One to keep his balance as he leant back and two, to hook his foot behind Leon leading leg and pull it forward hard. Steven could slowly feel himself draining what he had, he was taxing his Qi hard, and couldn't tell if Leon had been as well. However it seemed as if Steven was doing a lot better in this fight then he expect he should. He swore Leon of all people should have been able to keep up with him at least when he wasn't pushing his limits.
