Snippet #2482478

Baghodat was about to head on over to the class officer rooms when he noticed Grace using her knife to trace the wall to the right. Why would she do such a thing, and in plain sight? He decided to follow her to figure it out and try to confiscate the weapon. Next thing he knew, however, Grace went in random directions. It would appear she had no clear destination. He had to keep alert in order to keep on her trail. Fortunately, he had been able to determine she went to a courtyard and took a guess as to which one.

The sun was setting, and Baghodat knew Aodha would be upset if he was any later. However, he had a job to do, so he entered the courtyard. Then, it happened, an ambush came his way. Since he was caught completely off guard, he received a punch to his forehead. This snapped him into full attention as he listened for the next move. It came from behind him, an attempted kick to the head. Baghodat countered by ducking as he spun, then dealing an uppercut right to the chin.

Baghodat next back flipped three times to get out of reach, only to have two more troublemakers on either side of him. The Junior Class President Was able to fend them off, if only barely. These classmates he faced must have had extensive training. Something felt odd, though. The way the other boys in the courtyard fought was rather rustic and unrefined, as if they were street fighters. It was nothing like in the martial arts club.

He soon enough managed to defeat the group after receiving plenty of bruises. Thankfully, he received no serious injury he could not handle, though he was aching everywhere. Aodha's going to kill me... Baghodat realized he still had a task to perform.

Looking around the courtyard, he called out, "Hello? Grace? You here? You shouldn't be carrying weapons!" No answer, thus he resorted to simply listening for her. It was a simple trick his cousin taught him. Remaining stationary and opening up his senses, he managed to pick up a few sounds and followed them. Since the courtyard was enclosed and the only door leading into the building from there was nearby, he wasted no time in beating her to it with a soft grin. "Hi, Grace. Now, about that knife."
