Coding Test Really Long Name To See

[attr="class","boldtext"] At least the last fight before the intermission was interesting.

Swordsman versus Archer, with the archer looking like a bundle of twigs and the swordsman not looking much more intimidating, truth be told. Rose hadn’t bothered doing much studying of the other competitors before this, mostly because her first actual match wasn’t until either tomorrow or the next day and she’d have a bracket with actual opponent names listed out nice and clean for her when she won her next match. Lots of the heavy hitters could be seen here, with their semblances on display though and give a lot more information than just asking around would.

Sword guy started off strong, zooming in with a slash of his blade that was fully powered up with lightning dust. He definitely had a speed semblance with how fast he was moving, and green eyes surveyed the scene with interest. That blow would’ve been enough to take down a lot of people here when enhanced by the lightning dust, but blondie was confident enough to talk some shit before the match started so that either meant he was good… or stupid.

The archer had some sort of… arm…cannon? Something shot out super fast and smacked the shit out of the swordsman’s head, but the idiot made a crucial mistake in that moment. Still powered up with the speed semblance, the fucking dumb ass jumped backwards to reset himself, or at least that’s what Rose assumed because that blast didn’t seem to be strong enough to force the swordsman’s entire body backwards like that that far. Fighting someone who comes out with a bow as their primary weapon form at range is a dumb move, and it turned even dumber when the hail of arrows came, and the idiot decided to swap away from the sword form that had gotten him this far and changed it to something else.

The archer read the swordsman like an open book and showed why he was so cocky to begin with. There was always a small window where a weapon transformed in which the user was vulnerable, and it was exploited mercilessly. While aura protected the body from injury, it didn’t just negate all the momentum that came with the attack either. The sword that was transforming was knocked out of the kid’s hands, and a hail of arrows went to the now transformed weapon in anticipation of the swordsman using his semblance to grab it.

Clever, but it also showed how good a matchup it would be for the girl if they were matched against each other. The sword guy could have won if he didn’t get scared midway through the match, and it showed the archer didn’t have the best reaction time when it came to speed semblances and didn’t have the tools to deal with them very effectively. Against someone who could stick on a target more consistently with the same sort of speed, archer boy would be at a huge disadvantage. Someone like Rose fit the bill perfectly, so she mentally filed the archer as an ‘easy win’ in her head.

What surprised her a bit, though, was the archer walked straight towards her largely empty area of the seating when the match was finished. She had done absolutely jack shit in order to draw attention to herself, especially because the guy wasn’t even part of the first round of matches. The blonde would definitely remember someone with a weird arm cannon semblance thing, because that was unique. Even if he had for some reason been watching the wild card rounds, she hadn’t activated her semblance nor even used her sword yet.

Green eyes narrowed a bit as the archer approached, wondering what the dude’s angle was. She was half ready to punch him in the face and half ready to offer him food depending on the initial impression, but up close those green eyes saw that the archer’s physical form just seemed… not healthy. Like, there was lean and then there was… well, him. She didn’t say anything outwardly and didn’t bother physically reacting. Her face was neutral as the guy sat down and then shot back up like a rocket only a moment later apologizing over something or other.

”You’re good, I don’t own the—“ she started, before sensing the presence behind her and turning just as a Faunus girl was grinning like an idiot and asked for food almost on cue as soon as the blonde’s green eyes met the crimson gaze of the girl – whoa, two people with red eyes both coming up to her at once. That was weird. She didn’t bother shifting her position when either the archer nor the Faunus entered her personal space, largely due to confidence. She didn’t need to shift and move whenever someone approached, except to look them in the eye.

”What, do they not feed you in this Kingdom?” she asked, not backing up or recoiling an inch despite how close the Faunus girl was to her. ”Tell you what, you sit down like a normal person and not leaning back my shoulder like a serial killer and I’ll think about it.”

If the girl did as Rose asked, she would just offer the open end of the bag to her immediately. ”Lucky you got your name called early, Archer.” she offered, conversationally largely because the length of the intermission was unknown… or at least she didn’t hear what it was due to being distracted. Oh well, they would resume when they resumed. ”Both me and Ninja Claws over here were like the first ones up this morning, but still haven’t been called for our second. Feels like it's been years since the last time I got up from this chair.”

There was a twinge of amusement in Rose’s voice, though she didn’t falter in the slightest when just making up nicknames for the people next to her in place of their actual ones. She didn’t bother asking, because honestly? She didn’t care that much at this point. Neither of them were out of this world good or anything from what she had seen, and she didn’t know if either of them would make it far enough to be worth mentioning in the actual tournament. Right now they were a temporarily relief from boredom, and that’s how the blonde was going to treat this for now.
