Bugby Marshall
Bugby sighed in a rather unimpressed manner as he found out the class assessment. A game? Well, what else could you call it? One member was to defend a staff as the other two tried to take it. It wasnāt an overly complicated concept though the demon couldnāt help but appear not too thrilled when hearing that he was the defender for their group. He was to defend some staff from Cleo and Ichiro? He didnāt like those odds and knew only bad things could come from it.
Once things had been explained and the Headmaster turned to the teachers, the demon felt a sharp nudge against him as his teammate got to her feet. āCome on Buggie-Bear, youāre up! Heh, thisāll be fun.ā Bugby didnāt look all that enthusiastic, and somewhat begrudgingly he rose from his seat. āBuggie-Bear?ā By the time he was already standing the cat-girl was already out the door, clearly the girl was more eager than he was but then again he didnāt expect much else from Cleo. Bugby also wondered how Ichiro felt about it, though he was certain heād find out soon enough once the group was together again.
Heading outside the boy joined Cleo for a moment, taking the chance to glance around the area of the training grounds as he eyed up the staffs that had been put in place. Choosing one, he shrugged a little before making the long walk over to the staff and stood beside it as expected. He gave it a few light nudges with his foot, testing its sturdiness, before shoving his hands into his pockets. āSeems sturdy enough, though how the hell am I suppose to defend this thing?ā A part of him didnāt care for it really, heād rather not do this at all though clearly that wasnāt an option. Unless he felt brave enough to challenge the Headmaster, but he didnāt. The demon also didnāt much enjoy the fact that they were to be judged during this exercise, since he already knew he wouldnāt do well. He couldnāt begin to think what Midora would think of him either.
With a sigh he looked back to Cleo, who was most likely awaiting Ichiro to join her. Once that happened were the two of them going to attack him right away? It was a little hard to plan for something he wasnāt entirely sure of, nor was he that familiar with their attacks and capabilities. Either way, heād need to think of something to keep himself from losing, since that was the aim of this exercise, for him at least.
Laurence Snow
Laurence nearly jumped a little as the Headmaster got everyoneās attention. The man was certainly, well, commanding in a way. The young mage certainly didnāt wish to get on his bad side and paid exceptionally close attention to every little thing he said. Though the boy was a little unnerved when informed that the figure was actually a demon. Laurence wasnāt sure how to feel about that, especially as the Headmaster was their appointed teacher after all. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?
The demon went on to explain their assessment and what exactly it would entail. From what the mage gathered it was a game of some sort, in which one student guarded a staff whilst their other teammates tried to take it. That was simple enough, right? Laurence took a deep breath whilst contemplating such a task, especially as he wondered what role he would play. Soon enough that was revealed, as the boy found out he would be his groups ādefenderā. Oh goodie.
The Headmaster had also explained that the students would be judged and marked upon how well, or badly, they each performed. Hearing this only added to the boyās nerves and caused him to feel uneasy, as he always hated whenever he was going to be graded, and worse, watched. As he tried to calm his nerves Laurence could already feel his insides acting up just a little, as whenever the boy was emotionally uneasy that was always a reason for his elements to kick up within him. He could only hope things would settle by the time the exercise would begin, or else who knows what he would do. And just the thought of a poor mark already prompted the boy to feel discouraged.
The demon figure talked some more about this and that, and once finished turned to talk briefly with the teachers behind him. With this, the boy turned in his seat and looked to his own demons. āA-Alright girls, I know we can do this no problem!ā He said, trying to appear confident though he was sure his nerves were seeping through despite his attempts. āIf Iām right, all you have to do is get the staff that Iām guarding. Simple, huh? Look, I donāt want you to go easy on me, in fact I want you to really go for it. Give me all you got!ā With a forced smile the boy got to his feet, filling himself with whatever enthusiasm he could before giving a confirming nod.
āIām good to go! Iāll see you two outside, Iāll be waiting!ā Turning round he boy walked to the door and made his way outside into the area that was known as the training grounds, before picking one of the staffs that had been placed outside beforehand, and walking over to one. Once there, he noticed the red-haired boy was already at one too, as well as the green-haired boy, and the cat-girl was waiting by the door. Laurence was certainly interested to see how things went, and more especially how his own group fared and the chance to see what his demons could do.
