As I sat upon the elevated seats of Beacons Amphitheatre, I couldn't help but feel a gnawing sense of guilt, as if I slapped a sibling too hard and they had begun to cry, even if she's my enemy, for someone to break down like she did...this better be worth it or my conscience is gonna kill me. We were currently in the middle of Combat Class, specifically, Professor Goodwitch has dedicated this lesson to one-on-one match-ups. In less fortunate news, Cardin was back, too say the Rapier Wasps had messed him up would be an understatement, his right eye was covered by a metallic eye patch while his face and arms had been painted with scars, his armour was no longer its previous silver and instead was a deep navy blue. As Yangs Aura fell into the red, declaring Ren victorious, Cardin leapt to his feet, pure hatred burning from withing him


"Oi, freak, you and me in the ring, now." He ordered, I shrugged and headed down into the lockers to prepare. After having my Semblance for this long, I realised that I still haven't really tested out how far I can go with it, so far, the most I've done purposely was Yang, hmm, Cardin should make a good test dummy...but what to copy? Maybe I could try a Stand? Or a Persona perhaps? Heck, I could try a Noble Phantasm...or...ohoho, Y/N you sneaky bastard...this could be fun...My F/C Aura slowly flared to life as my mind was filled with the target I was about to copy, it burst out and I doubled over, I stifled a scream as unbearable pain tore throughout my entire body, everything about my very being was being torn apart, ripped to shreds before being carefully stitched back together. A few minutes later and the pain subsided, I staggered to my feet as I grabbed a magazine for Half Rose, loading it took longer than it should have due to my quaking hands. Light filled my eyes as I walked out, my eyes locked onto Cardins disgusted scowl, it seems his armour wasn't the only thing to change, his maces head was now almost twice as large, the handle now stretched out, turning into a two-handed weapon, the overhanging screen to our side lit up


Cardin Winchester (CRDL) VS Y/N L/N (????)


Cardin gripped his mace tightly, taking position


"It's time somebody knocked you down a peg you monster!" He cried, oh...the irony, Professor Goodwitch took a step back as she began the countdown


"THREE...

TWO...

ONE...

BEGIN!"

Cardin burst forth like a wild animal, yelling loudly as he brought his mace over his head before bringing it sharply down upon me, I lifted a hand and the mace halted in its tracks, frozen like a deer in headlights. My eyes and his stared through one another, I chuckled slightly as this new power of mine began to activate, I could feel something push out from my lower back, they soon came into view, four muscular tendrils dyed a blood red, I could feel my eyes tingle, signifying their change, Cardins own eyes had widened, whether of shock or fear didn't concern me


"Hey...Cardin?" I began


"W-what?" He stuttered as my grip on his weapon tightened immensely


"What is...one thousand minus...hmm...let's say...seven."
