What a Man Can and Can't Accept

[yuri]

( It was quite early on a wednesday morning, more then fourty five minutes till my first class started. Instead of still sleeping like I normally would, I found myself at the school walking around the outside with a cigarette in my mouth. My right arm was in a sling and both of my eyes were a deep black from the fight I had with tiao not too long ago.

It wasn't much of a fight though, withen three easy moves he had dislocated my shoulder and broken my nose causing my eyes to swell shut at the time. It was obvious to me at that time, that maybe I didn't know what I had walked into in coming to hircine.

Sitting down at a bench I took a long pull of my cigarette and inhaled. Exhaling a second later through my nose I looked over to my right, Seeing a group of rather large guys staring at me and coming my way I sighed deeply. It just had to be my luck that when my right arm was out of commission, the two meatheads whom I had insulted and dropped not too long ago were back for revenge.

Continuing to sit down I watched them walk forward. I knew there wouldn't be much i could do against a group of 4 larger then me men. Standing as they neared I waited for them to say something)

Ron:"Hey where are all your wise ass remarks now you piece of shit"

(Without responding I stood there staring at ron with a small smile on my face)

Ron:"hehe I'll wipe the smirk right off your face you white haired freak"

(He yelled at me as he stepped forward and cocked his right hand back. Without a word I took a step forward and jumped off my back foot. At the same time I brought my right knee forward and up to connect with his oncoming chin. As Ron flew backwards I felt my small moment of victory vanish as One of his goon friends took a step forward and decked me in mid air with a roundhouse punch to the ribs.

Flying backwards I hit the ground in a heap and rolled. My right shoulder shot with pain as I flew across the ground. Regaining my feet i watched as Ron regained his feet unsteadily and spat out some teeth.)

Ron:"lets kill this mother fucker"

(He said through a mouth covered in blood. I wouldn't stop fighting until my body gave out, I could never live with myself again if I surrendered, but I knew without some sort of miracle, the outcome of this fight wasn't going to be a pretty one for me)

[Magnus]

"Move out of the way, I want a piece of him. This fucker broke the nose of my friend the other day!"

Magnus shoved his way through the 4 large men, compared to Magnus they were small. Magnus wasn't one to pick on the underdog ... Bullshit. But as he made his way through the four boys, they physically held him back. Magnus responded with a jerk of his head. The man stumbled back as the jerk of Magnus' head had made it hit his nose. The breaking sound justified Magnus' thought of him being out of the fight for now. Still, he sent a heavy shove into his chest with his left arm, sending him further away. Magnus threw his right elbow out and hit the other of the thugs trying to hold him back. Right in the temple. He hit the ground hard and this one didn't seem like one who would get back up again.

But if Magnus' intention had been to help the underdog, why not just surprise them completely by cheap shotting them from behind? This should distract the other two retards enough to let their victim attack while their eyes are elsewh-oooo --- That was too close.

Magnus had barely managed to get out of the way, and was now stumbling because of the guy he just had knocked out. Stupid place to lie when unconscious. When he regained his balance, it was quickly traded for a forward jump. His hands grabbing the head of his opponent, his knee was blocked by the thugs palms, but they were just pushed back into his face. When Magnus' leg touched the ground he felt a pain shoot up along it. Ah, right. He had been hit by a car recently. He shouldn't push his luck too far.

Still, if I don't end it right here, the guy here might get a lucky shot through and damage it further.........

He forced the pain away and send his other knee into the chest of the thug. Breaking several of the ribs connected to the sternum, and pressing the others in. Magnus threw the guy down on the ground to maximize the damage to the face. Now Magnus had taken care of 2½, the guy with the broken nose he had no idea what had happened to after he had broken his nose, perhaps he was after Magnus, or else he had changed direction to help the leader of their little gay parade.

(As the end seemed near to me, suddenly a shimmer of hope had found me. Seeing another student now beating on my attackers, it gave me a chance to regan my thoughts. The logical thing to do in my position would have been to run as far away as I could. I had a dislocated right shoulder which was gimped and my entire body was sore. Looking behind me I began to turn away.)

"I guess I'm not that logical"

(I said to myself more then anyone before turning back to ron and one of his other friends. The new student who had appeared seemed to be having his way with the other two, now it would be my turn to have some fun.

Launching myself forward I began to run towards ron. At the last minute in front of ron I would plant my left foot and pivot to my right. In doing this I spun around ron before he even knew what was happening. Without missing a beat i took another step and launched myself into the air with a flying right knee for his buddies face. As It connected I instantly brought my right elbow down hard to land on the bridge of his nose as he was staggering back.

With blood exploding in a shower from the mans now wrecked nose I turned back to ron with a smile)

"now it's just you and me"

(I said to him still smiling. I didn't know if the student who had saved me was doing fine or not since my focus was now left on the person who started this beating.)

[Magnus]

Slam, blood was flying from the guys nose, his enemy turned away to deal with the leader. Magnus watched this with a hint of disgust. Make sure he's down before you ignore them... Feeling a need to step in he took a couple of quick steps, grabbed the guy by the shoulders and pulled him back over Magnus' outstretched leg. He hit his head pretty bad, though still aware, Magnus' massive foot was put down over his throat and kept a slight pressure on it. His piercing eyes looking down at him. It was pretty clear that Magnus had the upper hand and the boy slowly stopped fighting back as he slipped into unconsciousness. Magnus lifted his foot from the boy and looked directly at the other two. He had no idea how good this leader was, but it would be amusing to see them fight and if it turned out bad for the guy Magnus' had intended to save, he could always just tear out the throat of the guy.

Show me what you can do...

(As I brought my left hand in front of me and assumed my muay thai stance, I opened up my palm and faced it outwards towards ron. Bringing my left foot in front I balanced it on the ball of my foot. I knew that he had the advantage since my right arm was in a sling, and I was still pretty bruised up from my fight with tiao. None of that mattered to me though, all that mattered was tasting this ignorant punks blood.

Shooting off my back leg I exploded into action. Nearing him I waited for him to throw a strike. As he cocked his right hand back I found myself smiling. All these third class fighters were so predictable. As he unleashed his right cross for my nose. I found my upper body dropping as I bent my knees and weaved under his outstretched arm. Coming back up on the other side of his arm I turned my upper body to my right and sent a devestating left elbow/forearm. As it connected wit the right side of his face and he staggered to his left I found myself turning back the way my upperbody had just come. As My upperbody turned cocking my right leg I sent it snapping out in a right roundhouse.

As the kick connected with the other side of his face, I found satisfaction In the loud cracking noise of his jaw most likely breaking. Without another word I turned back to the student who had saved me. Starting to walk towards him I heard the loud thud of ron as he hit the ground unconciousse. Walking towards the other student I nodded my head)

"thank you for the help, as much as I hate to admit it, i would have been in a lot of trouble if you hadn't shown up. The names Yuri"

(I said extending my left hand for a friendly handshake)

[Magnus]

Interesting tactic to use... still, a lot of movement.

Magnus kept his eyes on the opponent as he fell, the sole defender had ignored to see if he would actually get back up again. To his luck, he didn't. Magnus turned his eyes back to the other guy. Noting in his head that he used several Muay Thai moves right there. It was one of the best styles around and anyone using it, was good to have on your side. Magnus was smiling and noticed that he had some blood on his fist. He wiped it away before grabbing Yuri's left hand and shook. It felt strange to shake hands with the left hand. Although Magnus had been born left handed, he had always felt accustomed to shaking with the right hand because most other people did that.

"Hey, don't mention it. I'm still impressed by the way you handled that last guy." He said with a smile. "Magnus here." Magnus eyed his sling and right arm. " ... And I have a feeling my help wouldn't have been needed if it wasn't for your arm." Another fake smile. Another fake helping hand. This guy's uncaring attitude could help Magnus tons. He wanted him on his side before he started anything.

(Smiling at his words I nodded my head.)

"it's a pleasure to meet you magnus. I thank you again for your timing, ron over there thought that it would be a good time to come and gang beat me. Not that i don't deserve it for how badly I embarassed him not to long ago, but thats neither here nor there"

(the entire time I was talking my eyes were scanning the student in front of me. I was trying to take everything in at once, His height, approximate weight, and even his posture. Continuing to smile I reached into my pocket and pulled out a pack of smokes. Placing one between my lips, I offered the pack to magnus before lighting up a smoke and inhaling deeply.

Exhaling through my nose I continue to smile as a cword of people start to gather around to see the after effects of the fight)

"I havn't seen you around here before, but I am still fairly new here, shall we take our leave of this incident before more unwanted guests arrive?"

(I asked him as I nodded towards the courtyard tables so we could sit in peace and talk)

[Magnus]

"No thanks, I don't smoke. My parents won't buy me a car for my 18th birthday if I start smoking. So, I prefer not to start now. Offer my one in a couple of years and I might say yes."

Magnus had a full perspective of the battleground. Not because he stood in a favorable position, but because of his eye condition that allowed him to absorb all that he saw, both in the direct line of sight, but also in the normally blurry part of the sight. People started to show up, and Magnus would get some bad rep for this, so he was content with going somewhere else. He nodded and turned to the table and started walking. He noticed some people in the crowd was smiling at him. It would appear that Yuri wasn't the only guy Ron had been bothering.

"So, tell me... What happened to your arm? Was that from your last encounter with 'Ron' or are you just a trouble magnet? Oh, and it wouldn't surprise me if you haven't seen me around, I started barely 2 weeks ago." He smiled and looked over the courtyard there was a table that seemed oddly empty. The so called pillars table that he had been warned about by someone in his Math class.

[yuri]

(smiling at magnuses words about offer him a smoke in a couple of years we made our way to the table. Listening to his question as we sat down I shook my head)

"no, I would never let someone such as that, do something like this to me when I was at full health. No the man who did this to me Is much stronger. In three simple moves he had won the fight.
I have honestly never seen someone so disciplined in any martial art. He is more of a weapon then he is a student, and I was the one who initiated a fight with him.

His name is Tiao Lei Shen, I heard that he was one of if not the best fighter here at hircine, so I wanted to see where I fit in the this school with my fighting. He showed me exactly where i fit. I threw one punch and he flipped me and dislocated my shoulder, then he slammed my face into the ground breaking my nose"

(I said still smiling. I was still very angry with myself at how easily tiao had won, but I knew that at the moment, he was on a totally different level then I was, and that I would have to try much harder to get tot hat level of fighting.)

[Magnus]

3 moves... Hmm. That's rather impressive.

Magnus listened as Yuri talked. The distance between this guy and the skill of the top dogs was large, but that didn't mean he could use Yuri to initiate problems all over the school. That however, would have to wait for another day when Yuri was alright again. For now, he would play his good natured guy. He would need to figure out if Yuri was a thug type, or if he was leaning toward the good alignment.

"Tiao, isn't that the pillar? You decided to go head to head with a pillar in your first fight? You are a bit ambitious, I like that. We should have a spar, if you're up to it, when you're in good shape again."

He smiled, Magnus himself was slightly injured, but that wasn't something he would tell anyone. Rather. He would tell no one. He was still trying to track down those who had hit him with a car, and when he found them, they would be beaten, castrated, disfigured and broken.

[yuri]

(Hearing his words I smiled. I liked this one, his attitude was rather intriguing, he seemed like the type who would go and start a ruckus for fun if he was bored. that in my books was a good trait.)

"To be the best you have to beat the best, and sometimes you get beaten up along the way."

(I said before taking another long inhale of my cigarette. exhaling I smiled again)

"anytime you are up for a spar, i'm down, i should only be in this sling for a couple of more days, then we can have our fun"

ooc: writers block lol sorry for crappy post

[Magnus]

"No... To be the best, you have to be me..."

Magnus left that sentence in the air before watching Yuri directly. The sling. Tiao. A guy he would have to deal with eventually. No need thinking about that now. He still needed an army and he would get that through this. Constant interacting with people and getting them to trust and like him.

"Or well, that's just my arrogance speaking. Don't mind it. I almost can't wait for you to be out of your sling. It will be good getting the rust out of these bones in a good spar."

Magnus left leg started bothering him. The injury was rather annoying. But in a couple of days, it should be gone as well. So, both of them would just have healed from an injury, although, Yuri's had been the worse. Magnus had, after all, just been hit by a car, Yuri had met and lost to Tiao. The rumors said it all.
