At a magic school obviously there are those that wish to train their powers, and here is the ideal place to use it. Various terrains can be selected through the Training Ground Terminal located when you first enter the large room, which range from a simple room to an underwater battlefield and everything in between. Of course these terrains are completely realistic, not some cheap room that gets magically filled with trees in order to be a forest. No. You are actually there. You will find no doors to return you to the school, nothing of that sort. In order to return you must defeat the monsters you selected. No questions asked. The only exception is when fighting another student of course. Then one can leave at anytime by simply saying that they wish to return to the schools.
Others can also join any current battle by selecting it in the terminal, or create a new one while another one is going on.
One can fight a student or one of the many training dummies available. These "dummies" can be either an inanimate object, such as a punching bag, or a monster as real as the person fighting them. Why, of course these monsters or going to try to kill you. In an actual fight with a horrendous beast do you honestly think it would simply back down? You silly student.

Ice Scape
Good luck on this one. You better be wearing some really warm clothing or else the cold will kill you if the monster doesn't. For this terrain consists of entirely ice, oh and water of course. For watch out some parts of the ice are extremely thin, step on it a bit to hard and crack, you'll fall right through. Though don't worry there are some places you can hide from whatever beast you're fighting against. There are various mountain like structures that you can hide behind, and you might even find some ice caves within some of them.
Ice Labyrinth
Being on an icy terrain is bad enough, but imagine being in one that's a giant maze. Not only are you freezing to death you also have absolutely no idea where you're going. Don't worry there is an exit, just hope you can get to it before the monster kills you. I'd suggest you fight smaller creatures within this labyrinth, it's far more fun if you can't see the monster above the ice. Of course the ice is twenty-four feet high so good luck seeing over it anyways.
Deep Water
I sure hope you can swim if you attempt to fight on this terrain, for you'll be completely surrounded by water. Sure you'll have some rocks where you can stand upon but don't expect to be able to defeat the monster from the safety of your rocks. And yes, there might be an island in sight, but good luck trying to swim to it while being attacked. Honestly, I wouldn't even attempt to fight on this terrain unless you have some control over water.
Fire Dungeon
Perhaps your the type that likes fire. Well, if that's the case you would simply love this terrain. Of course the unbearable heat and monsters that are trying to kill you might not make it all that enjoyable. Besides that though it is a rather interesting place. Just don't try and find a way out, i assure you there is none. For you are trapped in a deep fiery dungeon that has boiling lava lakes throughout it. Slip and fall and well you wouldn't exactly live to tell the tale, and if I were you I'd stay away from the bridges; they tend to break easily. Though as long as you stay away from the lava, the bridges, and the monsters trying to kill you then you'll be perfectly safe.
Forest
Well, here's the seemingly most relaxing place of the terrains it seems. You don't have to worry about burning to death, freezing to death, or drowning. However, the creatures in the forest are still brutal. For they know the forest far better then you. They know where to hide, and where you will hide, all you can do is crouch behind a tree and wait for their arrival. Sounds like fun huh? It is a rather beautiful forest though, with is lovely foliage and tall trees looming over your head. There's even lovely creeks here and there. A rather enjoyable place actually, until the monsters come of course. And I'd be careful if I were you, this is where the most monsters usually come.
Abandoned Town
This is obviously one of the more horrific of the terrains that one can choose. It is the alternative to the Dark Castle, for those that wish to be in a more realistic terrain. For here you will find an abandoned town of sorts that looks as if it came straight out of England, or some place of that sort. Rain is constantly falling down upon this small town, and the houses are abandoned, some even torn down. However, life still dwells in this place. The creatures that live here are those that you only see in your nightmares. The twisted horrifying beings that creep in the darkness will surely haunt you in a place such as this. Good luck trying to find someplace to hide. For they're everywhere. The houses, the streets, anywhere you could possibly go. Darkness will overwhelm you.
The Dark Castle
Who wouldn't want to visit a looming dark castle that was surrounding in an eerie fog? If that doesn't convince you to go maybe you should consider the many dark creatures that walk about the poorly lit corridors of the castle's interior. Or perhaps the dragons flying above your head will make you immediately decide to come to this particular training ground. No? Well, people who favor the dark side will surely enjoy themselves here, as well as the abandoned town of course. For any powers that consist of darkness are enhanced in this terrain. Good luck trying to fight someone who has dark powers here.
Desert Dunes
At least it's not as hot as the Fire Dungeon right? Of course now you have to worry about the sand storms, which really aren't the most enjoyable thing to experience. Imagine fighting a terrifying best while having your eyes burning with sand. Not too fun right? Of course you have to also deal with the creatures that live in the sand. Don't be surprised if someone jumps out of the ground and starts attacking you. Maybe you'll be lucky and run into some small monster. Though I must warn you, a lot of the monsters here are rather large.

Monster List:
Leviathon.
Terrain: Deep Sea
Perhaps the land monsters are simply much to easy for a brave warrior like yourself, which is when you'll decide that you should challenge a water monster. Fighting in the water is much more strenuous and hard, but you're assured that you can conquer anything, despite not being in your own element. If these are your thoughts, prepared to be humbled by Leviathan, a hospitable water serpent who's aching to tear you apart, limb for limb. Leviathan, to begin with, is a massive creature, about two times the size of a whale, and much less friendly. While bulky, Leviathan still manages to be swift, trained by chasing underwater prey across and through underwater scapes of mountains, volcanoes, even reefs. It's also incredibly hard to see. You may assume that, because of it's size, Leviathan is simple to detect. That's about the opposite of the truth. Leviathan's scales are in resemblance to that of a chameleon's. One swallow of water, and his body can become mirrored to the colour of the water. The only way this disguise doesn't work is if you bring it above water, and it swallows the air. It's a difficult task, however, and only effective for ten minutes. (If you're lucky.) The only real way to be sure of it's presence is the small, glowing orbs attached to the sides of it's massive body and glowing fiercely in it's eyes. The Leviathan has yet to figure the attachments, and usually believes it is entitled the element of surprise, a weakness of the monster. Long, powerful tentacles surround the mouth, which it uses to identify and grab it's prey. They're surrounded in armor, for fear of being cut off. Using a certain type of metal, though, it's possible. The mouth is the only weak spot to speak of, since it's not coated in teeth or any poisons until a later time. If you can work quickly enough, being intentionally swallowed is a good plan of attack. That is however until the gruesome liquid it uses to digest is released. Everything from the vapor to the substance of this liquid is toxic. In conclusion, if you plan on starting your water battles with the Leviathon, you should prepare a will in advance.
Colossus
Terrain: Forest
Standing at 45 feet and composed entirely of rock, the first thing you'll probably recognize about this creature is his formidible and intimidating appearance. Of course, fighting a monster made of a mix of rock and an unknown, glowing substance thought to be it's fuel source isn't simple. Colossus is your typical brute, displaying no powers to speak of besides it's strength. The fuel source empowers the otherwise useless pile of rocks to see, move, and act like a creature. Despite the bulk, Colossus is recognizably swift, although not very subtle. Although appearing dumb, they've adapted to the forest well, and know to avoid certain aspects like water and high places that may crumble. There appears to be little effect using water, and forces don't work on the creature. Infact, there's only one real force liable for certain defeat- fire. The substance inside of Colossus is highly flammable, and starts afire when exposed to degrees over one hundred and ten. However, it's not always easy to access the substance, which is why it's lucky that the Colossus' vision is heat-oriented, to avoid any combustion. Defeating the creature doesn't require brute strength, more to be extremely clever and spontaneous.
Melconian
Terrain: Fire Dungeon
Lurking only around magma activity, the Melconian is rumored to be the product of a volcano itself. The large, canine-like creature is incredibly fire-oriented and associated with scorching heat. It's a fairly large animal, standing around 35 feet tall and an unmeasured amount across, estimated to weigh at least four tons. There are attachments over the monster's eyes, and around it's torso, thought to be an advancement of natural selection after all of the time bathing in liquid rock. However, that's a very basic assumption, and hard enough to turn into fact since the creature is incredibly rare to find, if not impossible. The ends of the attachments can be ignited to a menacing degrees of four thousand, in fareinheight. It proves heat can not be used against the Melconian, seeing as it can stand temperatures higher than that. What besides, it has a giant tale with the same capability, strong enough to crush anything standing in it's path. The Melconian isn't incredibly bright, however, and can't see very well thanks to the attachments known to be it's defense. Any sort of water, cool liquid, or cool air can be used against the monster, since natural adaptions have taken away the needs to survive with such. There's also a large, scorching chamber of lava lurking on the Melconian's chest, the captivator of the entire beast. Without this chamber, the Melconian wouldn't beable to fuel any of it's heat-based attacks. Breaking the chamber is rather simple, however, the lava inside is still dangerous. Long distance attacks are the best tactic of defeat.
Siam
Terrain: Abandoned Town, Dark Castle
Truly, Siam is the epitome of what lurks in the darkness of our twisted minds. Sadly, someone decided it was a good idea to make it come to life. What once was human only turned out as a product of scientific failure and a terrible fetish for bondage and leather. Siam is exactly how it looks. Two mutilated bodies bound together, veins full of blood bursting out of the flesh, almost. The seemingly male part has swollen, club-like arms that can cause heavy damage and break a few bones. You can tell where it is because of it's constant moans of pain, due to the fact there are several cords going in and out of it's body so as to keep them together. He maybe a slow runner, but, once he hits someone, they're down and he won't need speed to finish them off. He doesn't seem to be aware of the lady on his back. The female half-part doesn't do much other than scream and kick with the heels of her stilettos. Both sides of Siam are blind and only rely on sound to defeat their enemy and to capture a meal, to which, is not limited by animals or human flesh, sadly. When around Siam, be sure to maneuver quietly and don't make a single sound. Because, even if it's dark, it will find you... To defeat this horrid creation, one must over come their fears and use their other senses to make up for better lack of sight.
Pendulum
Terrain: Abandoned Town, Dark Castle
A monster consisting of two conjoined torsos on each end and a metallic waist which allows it to spin, it has a blade attached to each of the heads and walks around on its stilt-like legs. They can also rotate in midair, without the use of wings, making a noisy screeching sound of grinding metal that alerts others of its presence, though, one can tell based on the smell of decaying flesh and faint cinnamon, supposedly to welcome, that the creature gives off. The Pendulum was named based on its movements and attack methods while the upper half of its body rotates. While it is blind, much like Siam, this creature is virtually helpless and attacks at sheer whim without knowing precise location. It would be wise to simply throw something in another direction to set it off and distract it while you go in for the kill. However a good idea that seems, you must also consider the fact that Pendulums hang out together like a flock of birds and it's rare to catch one by itself. Cautionary tactics should be used when fighting a hoard, which can consist from two to seven, and you should never go at it alone, no matter how good of a fighter you think you are, because, those blades can slice you up for dinner and you'd never be seen again...
The Lone
Terrain: Abandoned Town
This thing is born to suffer, perhaps a manifestation of loneliness and pain all together. A shroud stretched by metal bars covers its head, keeping it from breathing. Spikes grow on it, often piercing its own body. It cries corroding tears that attack its skin and burn its flesh. It doesn't attack voluntarily. The Lone try to approach people, trying to get help, moaning and launching a high pitched cry of suffering. The closest it is to the victim, the longest its spikes grow, resulting in more pain to the Lone and a greater urge to get to the person in front of it. When very close, it runs into the victim while the spikes extend to their maximum, resulting in the death of both the victim and the Lone. They are extremely lonely creatures. Even other monsters avoid them, staying far away from their cries. If the Lone don't meet any victim, it dies because of the shroud covering its head. The shroud grows slowly and end up wrapping the entire Lone, killing it by suffocation. If you see one, have a kind gesture and kill it. Melee weapons do not work on it and it would be best to attack from afar.
Mu
Terrain: Forest
Upon looking upon the adorable little Mu one would surely wonder why it is a monster. It's appearance can fool you into thinking it's a squirrel considering it's bushy tail and squirrel like body. Though it's obviously not your average squirrel since it has feathers upon it's head and can often stand on only two feet. The curious mu makes its home in the ancient trees of the Forest. Their nests are made by by boring holes in the tree trunks, whence they peer out to watch for danger. Spending all of their waking lives beneath the shade of the trees, their bodies are pale and colorless. So close is their affinity for the trees that some communities consider them to be tree spirits. Evil tree spirits though, considering they will not hesitate to hurt you. Sure it may be weak and might simply shoot water or throw some rocks at you, but when you have a hundred of them scurrying about and popping out of trees they are quite the nuisance.
Malboro
Terrain: Forest, Desert Dunes
Being a hideous creature with greenish-brown mottled skin, and writhing tentacles. It eats only of flesh, drawing no sustenance from photosynthesis as do common plants. Favoring stealth, it approaches its prey in silence, then strikes without warning, swallowing its victim whole. Its maw is filled with powerfully acidic saliva, and breathing the miasma that is its foul breath causes poisoning and madness. Even if one manages to defeat the foul monster, they will have to face the poison that has taken over their body quickly, or else they will die as well.
Coeurl
Terrain: Forest
This predator usually does not strike one as a fierce monster. He may not be as adorable as a Mu but at first glance one would consider it to be your average leopard or some creature of that sort. The only difference between the two is the fur located at the end of it's tails, and the elongated whiskers. These whiskers however are what helps it use it's powerful thunder attacks upon it's enemy. One strike of it's lighting and an enemy will either be paralyzing, petrified, or instantly killed. It's physical attacks are also quite strong as well, so be prepared. Luckily, it's not too difficult to defeat. If you manage to cut off it's whiskers it's elemental powers are greatly weakened, which will then cause it to be far easier to kill. Though they sometimes can be found in pairs so be careful.
Cactuar
Terrain: Desert Dunes
Being a mischievous, mean-spirited beasties, mercifully lacking the intelligence to do any real damage. Sproutlings are called cactites. A rare strain is noted for its proclivity to sprout a scarlet blossom, the being seldom seen, of the highest value, and considered a sign of miraculous good fortune by sensitive young lovers with a tolerance for needles. Two dots and a open mouth for a face give it a rather cute, bemused look. Despite its endearing figure, it can cause great damage with its attack, 1,000 Needles, which can cause much damage. In addition, most attack attempts fail or miss due to its high evade stat, and it often runs away before you can even get a chance to execute a command. However, it also has a tiny amount of health, so one attack is usually enough.
Bomb
Terrain: Fire Dungeon
It looks like a little ball of fire with big eyes, a big mouth, and little wisps of fire coming out of the top. Its attack strategy remains relatively unchanged from game to game: each time it is hit, it increases in size and strength up to three times, and after the third, it self-destructs and delivers massive damage to one member of the party. These monsters deal the most amount of damage to those that rely upon magic for their armor. So be wary if you are a magic user. Though they are easy to kill considering after three hits they're gone, it's really just the self-destruct that you have to worry about when it comes to the bombs.
Basilisk
Terrain: Ice Labryinth, Ice scape
Being a variety of serpent able to maintain its body temperature regardless of its environs, preferring to live in colder regions. It has two distinctive scale-patterns on its breast which are said to be the result of interbreeding between two strains of serpent. As its body is covered with scales of surpassing smoothness, it is able to move quickly through areas of deep snow. Basilisks are almost impervious to spells. Their eyes when fully opened are somewhat vulnerable to spells, but it is very hard to use that weakness because if you see fully opened basilisk eyes enough to cast a spell on them you are either dead or petrified, depending if your line of sight are direct or not. n addition to spell resistance, the basilisk's skin can take huge amounts of physical force without damage. The only 'accessible' weak point of a basilisk is the roof of its mouth. The rest of the mouth of the basilisk is about as hardy as the outer skin is. The biggest problem of reaching that weak point is that there is never a clear line from outside the mouth, you have to be fully or partially inside the mouth and that is basically impossible without being bitten, and after being bitten you have about ten seconds to a minute to live depending on how much poison you get in you and how physically strong you are. I'd make sure to bring some antidote for some poison if I were you.
Jigglypuff
Terrain: Forest
As it appears, Jigglypuff is an incredibly adorable monster. Battling it is mostly endurance and tolerance, no physical strength required. A Jigglypuff mostly uses its powers to manipulate it's own kind and claim land. Their call is quite gruesome to the ears, high pitched, however not deafening. Sound resembles a bad opera singer. If you can stand the noise, you can beat the small creature without a problem.
Fierian
Terrain: Fire Dungeon
A single fierian isn't much to worry about. While their scorching body temperatures are dangerous to the touch, and they do have ability to cast their fire, direct attacks aren't much of a threat. Having a laughable apperance, a fierian may be easy to defeat in one-on-one combat, but when combined they form a nasty threat. Fierians, with all of their downfalls, are plenty in population. A group of ten may be easy to take, however, they possess the ability to seperate themselves into two. It's a troublesome fact, but it takes about all of two minutes for a group of five to turn into a group of eight, eight to sixteen, and so on. The catch being their flames grow less fierce as they continue to multiply, so sometimes it'll continue far enough for the copies to be useless. You have to have speed to fight a fierian, otherwise while you're giggling at the way they look, them and their clones may burn you to a crisp.

Fleur wasn't quite sure what to do. They had arrived at what was supposedidly the "Training Grounds", however, upon entering the area she didn't see much to work with.
That was, until she noticed you could select a terrain.
"I hope you're not thinking you're going to send me out to try and defeat some monster yet." She frowned, her fear translating into immense displeasure. It wouldn't surprise her if the first step in "training" was trying to beat something ten times her size and five hundred times her skill.
She was incredible nervous, afraid of the possibilities. He'd probably throw her out there solo, infact, so when things got out of hand she'd have to wing it.
Fleur was about the complete opposite of "in shape". She had strong legs, but her arms were weak and useless, as was just about every other part composing her body. Worst part being it was impossible to acquire strong, dependable muscles over an hour, so tomorrow she wouldn't be much changed.
Or the next day.
Or the day after that.
All Fleur could really do was stand and await his instructions, praying they involved training dummies and simple moves.

"Course not." Celian said teasingly, upon entering the training grounds. It really didn't look like much. Were there even any monsters there? If not this was the worst training ground he had ever seen. Maybe they were just supposed to fight other students? That didn't make much sense, but it may have been true. Wait.. what was that? A computer of some sort? Good. So you did have something to work with.
Walking over to the system, that looked much like the one that Fleur and himself had just visit, Celian touched the screen. Upon it many names of various terrains went across the screen, all of them looking like they would be difficult. He didn't exactly see Fleur fitting in at a Dark Castle. No. She needed something easier. Forest perhaps? Pressing on it the boy found a list of monsters appearing. A Mu... Jigglypuff...? What the hell? The monsters were far too easy. Ah, Colossus, much better. Of course Fleur would have to fight the Mu and Jigglypuff considering she hadn't fought before.
"We're going to the forest." He stated simply, pressing the 'FIGHT' button, looking up to see the scene around them changing.

"O-okay."
She hadn't really put much thought into the destination itself- more what Celian was planning on doing there. He would probably want to show-off, hopefully giving truth to the giant ego he carried. Plus, she had read the rules. After you arrived at your destination, going back was impossible. You had simply no choice but to defeat the monster- a challenging task in itself for Fleur. He'd hopefully taken her into consideration when he'd decided where their small adventure would take place.
The forest was just like the rest of campus- absolutely beautiful. Tall trees loomed over head, their canopies shading the area with exceptions of small patches of light, cascading through the cover.
Clusters of rocks dotted the ground occasionally, along with bushes and other naturally occuring additions. Fleur was absolutely terrified, eyes becoming orange, nearly mirroring the colour of the sun that hung above the top of the trees.
"U-uh. So do we-" She cleared her throat to eliminate any possible tremor in her voice that might hint at the awful feeling in the pit of her stomach, brought on by the unfamiliar area.
"Do we split up and hope we can either find eachother afterwards, or were you going to try to substantially train me?"
Either way held downfalls. She just needed to know so she could be prepared for whatever the downfalls may be.

"I can't leave you if I'm going to train you, Princess." Celian pointed out to her. A smile danced across his lips as he looked towards the girl, his gaze shifting away from her to their surroundings just moments later. He had to admit it was pretty impressive. For they seemed to really be in a forest, in fact he wouldn't be surprised if it was an off school location. In fact, that had to be what it was. There was no way this had just appeared in the room they were in. Ah well, one must not ask too many questions right.
"You're fighting them on your ow-" The boy stopped mid sentence as he heard a soft rustling in the area around them. He knew that most likely Fleur didn't not hear the noise for he heard a great many things that couldn't be heard by most due to his powers. There was no need for her to worry though, they were just Mu's.

Fleur sighed. She had hoped he'd leave her so there wouldn't be anybody left to embarass herself infront of, but he pointed out that it was necessary he be there if he was going to train her. Which was a mangnificent observation. And it didn't contribute to lifting any of the excess pressure she felt mounted on her shoulders. Abruptly, Celian's steady stream of words stopped, and she whirled around, eyes still brilliantly orange, to see the cause of the mid-sentance finish. She blinked. There didn't seem to be anything there, and she shifted her gaze towards him quizically, arching an eyebrow before turning back to continue asessing the area.
"Well, couldn't you have just let me practiced a bit first? I don't want to get anialated by some giant, beastly monster first round."
She bit her lip, cautiously taking a step forward towards the edge of the clearing they had landed in. Movement caught the corner of her eye and she spun around quickly, attempting to hit her best defensive position as if it would help her appear like she knew she was a good fighter.
(Which she wasn't. The most damage she'd ever done was giving a kid a bloody nose three years ago after he slapped her butt. Who slapped girls' butts, anyway? He had deserved it!) The creature infront of her wasn't much like anything she'd ever seen before. It's head was inclined as it rested on it's haunches, looking at her curiously before tilting it's head to look at Celian as well.
"Aww, it's so c-'
The compliment was stopped when a small rock hit her calf. She retaliated, pouting a little as the puffy little creature prepared to throw another.
"Are all the monsters here like this?"
She asked, her arms shielding her from the rocks being tossed. "Don't tell me I have to kill it. It's so adora-"
Fleur was cut off yet again when she felt a small stream of water run down her wrist. It was shooting her with water.
She grit her teeth, clenching her fists as her iris became bright red with fury.
"Okay. Order away, captain."

Celian couldn't but laugh as he watched Fleur get attacked by a sad excuse for a monster. All it seemed to be doing was throwing rocks at the girl along with shooting water. Oh, how scary. At least it was an amusing scene to witness. When more came it would be even better. Of course he should at least help the girl a little bit... right? He doubted she had some form of weapon on her.
"Order no. 1. Kill it." Celian said in a casual manner, a smile on his face.
He then reached for around his belt around his waist, grabbing a knife that he always carried for him. It wasn't anything special, but against a Mu it would surely be enough. Throwing it over to Fleur was his initial thought, but he quickly dismissed it considering that any knife that flew towards Fleur probably wouldn't get caught. Instead, Celian walked towards her and handed the small blade to her, a smile on his face.
"Go get 'em."

Fleur quivered as the knife was put in her posession. Whether it was because Celian probably carried weapons like this around always, or because he had trusted her to know how to properly use an object that was harmful, she wasn't sure. Fleur nodded, more nervous than enthusiastic. She hadn't ever killed anything before, besides the occasional insect, but she figured that those didn't really count as murders.
Executing something simple as this probably wouldn't be a big deal to him- but guilt rode on her conceious as she slowly approached the creature, it's beady eyes staring up at her before throwing another rock.
Fleur frowned, pausing as she came close enough to do some sort of damage. Who was she kidding, being so weak? This was training, there were more than one of these, she'd have to kill it if she ever wanted to go back. Squeezing her eyes shut and tightening her grip on the knife (although she was holding it wrong), she swiftly made a clean jabbing motion downwards.
Her eyes were soft blue as she turned away, face looking as though she'd just killed her best friend or something. The sky-tinted spheres glistened as she turned to Celian.
"That w-was painful."
Her voice quivered, lower lips wobbling. Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes simular to that revealing one Mu. Another had appeared.
"I don't hav-have to kill more, do I?"
She wasn't exactly a heartless fighter, although it was almost secured fate she'd grow into it. Fleur could probably kill an entire flock of these and not feel guilty if she was in an awful enough mood.

How precious the girl was was something Celian simply couldn't get over. Poor thing. She seemed so distraught over harming the little monster, and she really hadn't killed it correctly. Was holding a knife truly such a difficult task and he just wasn't aware of it? Then again, the little squirrel was kind of cute, not that Celian would ever admit such a thing.
"I'm sorry, Princess." Celian said, his voice sounding surprisingly sincere. "No more Mu's for you." It was an honest statement, considering he hadn't said anything about Jigglypuff.
Who named a monster Jigglypuff anyways?
"You're adorable." The boy then added, quite randomly. Though it was obvious by his smile that his words were truthful.

Fleur nodded absently, staring, wide-eyed at the knife as if it were some mystic object, cursed upon her a demon himself. Although Celian really wasn't much of a demon, and being given the knife wasn't really much of a curse. She preferred the cleaner cut of the knife as opposed to the claws she could transform her hands in to, since it wasn't yet discovered if materials on her skin remained in place as she shifted. And in a situation like this, she wasn't prepared to find out.
"Thanks, I guess." She said, finally loosening her grip and turning the blade over to her other hand. With another slight tremor as she examined the stained metal, her arm extended cautiously to offer him the object back. Fleur turned away from the small creatures, convincing her mind they didn't exsist, waiting until her self-soothing/ cleansing ritual took effect on her eye colour. As they tinted to a relaxed purple, she found courage to look back towards the scene of the crime.
Cringing and tensing a little, she made sure her eyes stayed focused on Celian's, with absolutely no room for straying.
"I bet you aren't adorable when you're killing something. C'mon, let's go."
Her voice ended persistantly, already advancing to get away from the nausteating sight of blood or any other symbol of death.

"Nah, just pretty damn sexy." The boy teased, laughing at himself.
Without another word, he then turned away from the girl beginning to walk off as she had instructed. He had expected Fleur to follow along, considering he knew that she wouldn't just walk off on her own. If she did who knew how many Mu's she could possibly run into? How horrifying, in a sarcastic way of course. Perhaps the Jigglypuff would be more of a challenge. Though from the description he had read it really wasn't going to be difficult to beat, just difficult to tolerate. Hopefully it wouldn't be adorable, if it was then Fleur would probably kill herself from the guilt.

"Oh, yeah I'm sure."
She muttered, rolling her eyes and gaiting quickly to catch up with him. Fleur had felt much like a latch-on lately, and the more and more she observed her own actions, the more and more she'd noticed how apparent it was. Perhaps she should slip away- she wanted out of here anyway. The sooner, the better. Not prepared to kill again and most definately not prepared to fight anything but an inatimate objects, a nice, cold shower sounded exsquisite. A change of clothes and a substantial meal to follow, and she'd be set. She hadn't quite caught up yet, and although he may have been swift, there were always things swifter. Fleur tried to name a few, finally settling on a cat-like creature with powerful legs and a hushed set of movements. Tiptoeing away when she could shiftshape? Lame.
Celian would be fine, he'd probably want to finish off some monster to prove his manliness to himself. It wasn't necessary she watch- after all, his ego had already explained ions.
The shift was simple- the running even simpler. She felt like it was appropriate if she lift off of the ground and begin flight anytime, and after a good five minutes of top-speed running, her transformation stopped mid-gait and she tumbled to the ground, looking around for cover immediately.
A tree was substantial. The shubbery surrounding would cover her well, incase he did follow, but she had to take into account if he'd caught on early. The rebel side of Fleur was rarely shown, and she grinned in accomplishment... until there was a loud rumble from somewhere in the area.
Her eyes widened. There were more creaturs in the forest, weren't there?
She threw herself off of the ground, sprinting again to try and find the key to getting back. It was Celian's fault she'd run off and was probably going to get eaten! If he had warned her then she wouldn't be flailing around in desperate attempt to return to the campus.
How rude of him! To put me in such a damsel-in-distress situation. I bet he enjoys this.
She thought, panting as each step took her either closer, or farther away then she needed to be.

Celian stood there as the events unfolded, rather confused. He believed that there was no logical reason for Fleur to frantically run away from him, so why had she done it? Had she not realized that they had been set in a specific spot in the terrain to fight the "monsters" that they had. Sure there were probably more Mu's elsewhere but there were probably bigger things as well: the colossus. Fleur could barely take on a Mu, which meant in no way could she handle something that was a hundred times her size.
Poor Fleur. But where had she run off to? Even his senses couldn't detect any movement or sound coming from her. However, there was a distinct rumble that he could both hear and feel. It was the Colossus no doubt, and with Fleur chances she would probably encounter it, so he would have to get there first. Without thought, the boy began to run quickly through the forest, knowing the exact location of his destination. As long as he got there first everything would be okay. All he had to do was run. Fast.
