Summoning events instead of beings? I shudder to imagine the amount of power required to even bring such types of spells into existence, especially Fall of the Gods Instant Armageddon
Though what's with the Types anyway?
That's right, and as Mirian doesn't have such amount of power her summons have limitations (like time and area of effect, thus usually not fully copying the actual event), also there's another issue when the summoning comes closer to perfection (will be mentioned later).
The Types represent the spell's elemental aspects and its general complexity. It will probably get clear as soon as one of the True Form summons is shown in a story.
Well, I intend to make it so that Nanoha was trained under him... If canon somehow brings in Nanoha's previous instructor (doubtful), then I'll just make it that Austin was the instructor for that particular one, otherwise, it was Austin who trained her...and indirectly inspire her to push herself to be stronger, stuff, overworking herself, etc...until well...that shit happened.
And that can open up to a lot of conflicting ideas! Interesting.

Go ahead. Though understand that he NEVER holds back when training anyone, because no longer a mage and at his old age, he cannot afford to slouch even against rookie mages. Well, Kha's strong so there's no problem there...Just pointing out what would happen if anyone thinks they can let their guard down with the Evil Dirty Instructor...
Actually...Austin's not PHYSICALLY stronger...he's better, but I'm not going to make a non-mage 76 year old stronger than magic-boosted physical strength. He is very strong, but he can't break through iron walls.
He's a street-smart close-combat fighter that adapts to situations. If the enemy is emotional, he'll trash-talk him into making any opening. If the enemy is VERY fast...Sonic Move fast, he covers the surrounding ground with his always-carried dust and gauges the angle and speed of attack to launch a counter-attack, or even sprinkle dirt into their eyes as they rush at full speed. His every attack aims at vital, dangerous spots like eyes, the bone in the middle of the nose, etc while he holds his knuckle out front, to deliver a bone-crushing haymaker. Using surroundings, terrains, enemy's mental condition, his own condition...he'll use ANYTHING to win.
Basically, he's strong even against Belka-powered mages because his experience and mentality allows him to use every trick in the book to win to the point it's almost instinctive. He doesn't need to think of what dirty tricks to pull against a superior enemy, it comes to him naturally and his body moves accordingly, honed from decades of experience.
He doesn't give a shit about knight's honor and stuff. For all he cares, in the battlefield, enemies will sneak, they will cheat and they won't say hello first, and it's only right the good guys...do the same.
I already like this old guy's style. The battle-hardened use all options available type.

I see a Serge and Mirian combination attack... Serge could supply some energy if Mirian can use external sources.

If anyone is going to use external sources that would be Serge himself I guess He can't even afford going all out himself whenever he wishes, not to mention supplying somebody else

Ouch, nasty, nasty instructor. This guy is brutal. So basically he follows this rule? "Its only cheating if the opponent has an advantage you don't?"

More like "There's no such thing as cheating in war, only advantages brought by opportunities." Which makes me like the guy already for believing in such a straightforward philosophy

1. That's why I'm waiting for StrikerS to finish. And that's also why Kha has so many alternative pairings. If canon fixes Fate to Nanoha, Carym's the next girl. And if she dies, then Kha is returned to Sophia, which was the case very very very early in Kha's design process. A pimp always hedges his bets, whether he knows it or not, ne?
2. It's similar to one of the "7 Deaths of the Materium" that Kha and the Clerics before him were sent to prevent. He tells no one that info for it's of no use to mortals, and only serves to frighten them.
3. Hmm... I do recall Kha's latest Trace had an AT Field. And a few other defensive tricks.
Kha's a visionary, both literally and figuratively.

Kha, sorry to disappoint you. The armour isn't built to counter what you can do. Its built to survive whatever you can throw at it. If you look at it, Tais only got in 2 blows and one of them does nearly zero damage.
1. I loved that part. And I wanted it to have been a quote from the anti-Nanoha, Austin, that Kha repeated. Yeah apart from ripping others' spells off, he rips other people's words without noticing it too.
2. To me, "counter what you can do" and "survive whatever you throw at it" means the same thing. But I just realized that counter also seems to imply reflection as well as survival, which I did not intend to mean here. Oops.
Still, EVA-0X (ehat's Yui's serial again? ) has gained enough upgrades to warrant a place in the Infinite Spell Forge for Kha has Traced all of its defensive capabilities, and hence a complete copy of EVA now resides in the Forge for Kha's use, though with a 2 rank AAA to A nerf when activated outside of the Forge, and would require Sakura to be Unisoned In.

*looks at Mai wielding gigantic Chainsword*
*shivers*
1. Yeap. But a little correction: It's in the Infinite Spell Forge, not the Vault, as Kha has not mastered the Unlimited Imperium Vault. Looks like I need to factor in a description of these 2 Reality Marbles. Good thing the OCs with Eternal Tranquility Garden and Uninhibited Golden Throne, or the remaining 3 Eternal Divine Halls, have not been revealed, otherwise I'm gonna have a confusion on my hands.
Btw, the Belka Reality Marbles can be Traced, with a lot of effort, but it's possible...

1. And that's way we like it!
Is it okay that there's one young mage who perfectly understands his methods and philosophy, as opposed to just his friends "who were in big paper-pushing seats, or dead"?
2. I did not just like him; I agree fully. And this in fact gave me an idea for Kha's young days. This should be around when Kha was 14 years old, just after A's Epilogue. Which means it might have a spot in Point of Light
Spoiler for Blood Session:
...And for the 152nd time that day, Kha found himself flying into pillar of the shaded pavillion by the sandy quadrangle.
His breathing was ragged; he spat blood from his cut lip as the young Cleric pushed himself back onto his feet. His eyes were ablaze with frustration.
"...That... was... low..." He squeezed his sore arm, as if it could force the numbing throb that was bouncing through his mind out.
"Low?" Austin broke his stance. "You think that was low?"
"...And dishonorable..." Alexei heaved, going through the motions to clear his mind as he was trained by his father.
Austin just laughed. "Yes LOW! DISHONORABLE! I hear that EVERYTIME!"
He turned to Kha. "I'll ask you again. Do you give up?"
And the boy replied like before, "No."
The big man charged suddenly. Kha had no time to move; the attack to his injured limb flattened out against the pillar, splaying blood out from the spilt cuts. Uncharacteristically, Austin held back from breaking the bone.
"You are a disciplined man... and yet..." Kha ignored the pain as he spoke into the old man's hawk eyes. "I don't understand this. Why?"
Austin smirked. About time someone asked. He stepped back, and the boy peeled off the wall onto his fours.
"Every Belka knight I've fought up till now have turned back and limped away, saying that I was a killer madman." Austin continued as Kha got back up chanting scripts to blot out the pain. "That there was no point in dishonorable combat."
He paused. The half-naked boy was still bent forward, but he was still listening.
"Bullshit." Austin barked. "100% bullshit. Do you know why?"
Kha shook his head.
"This isn't the dojo that the pansy New Belka knights grew up in, that's why..."
He pointed to a long stitch that ran down his left arm. "Bartilas, 0055. The 73rd had just landed and opened a foothold for us boys to move in. We went trench to trench, Crossfiring anything that moved. I came across one with only 2 scared recruits asking to surrender."
"You should've seen them white faces, boya. I'd bet they were wetting their pants as they held their devices up in the air. So I gave the order to stand down and go PoW, when a third bastard popped up. He blew two of my buddies, and my arm almost, before we took their brains out."
Kha's brows twitched.
"That's right, boya. This is the real world, where the enemy will sneak, they will cheat. They won't say hello first and so...
His voice toned down as he narrowed his gaze. "The good guys should be the same."
der Kleriker suddenly lashed out in a roundhouse which Austin parried easily, but the momentum of the block spun Kha into a vertical bicycle kick aimed at the buffed man's groin.
There was movement too fast for the eye, and Kha inexplicably found himself spinning uncontrollably through the air before smacking onto skin-biting sand back first, knocking his air out. Kha cringed; he tried to get up; this time however, his body disobeyed.
But Austin was smiling. In fact, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Pull yourself together, boya. What was your name again?"
"Kha..."
"Kha, here, 530am tomorrow. We'll do some real training then."
With that, he walked away.
"Thank you, Sir!" Kha shouted back.
I hope I got Austin's characterisation right, despite all the little liberties I've taken in adding things... He's such a tough guy I felt that making him talk so much was a problem.
And yes this was Kha Alexei before Fate and the girls softened him, much to Austin's disgust, I think? Though Keroko's ICB tendencies kept a piece of that alive.
Hiya guys, sorry for dropping this chunk of Bluecheese but here is my very pathetic attempt at writing a semi-serious "My name is Tais" story.
Spoiler for CSDB observation report:
CSDB Observation Report.
Open demonstration of effectiveness of Project EVA
Note: Sections of this report were supplemented by footage captured by the on-site drones. This report has been forwarded to all parties involved in this exercise.
Spoiler for Part 1:
*outside the training grounds (Group of Kha, Keroko, Artei & Sophia)
PA-Tsuzuki: Good morning everyone and welcome to the CSDB's open demonstration of Project Eva, where today we shall showcase the current development status of one of the next generation protective device as well as various new technologies that will greatly improve the quality of current equipment. I am Director Tsuzuki and I'll be your announcer for today. On behalf of the CSDB, I will take the chance now to thank Lieutenant Colonel Yagami Hayate for graciously agreeing to lend us her division's training grounds to host this event...
Kha: Why are we here again and why did Hayate even agree to allow that pervert to host the show here?
Keroko: Well I don't know about you but Nanoha-chan invited me over. Besides I haven't seen the EVA device in action before. Only heard the stories.
Kha: You haven't? That's rather surprising since Corporal Scien, the main operator of the device, has gotten into quite a bit of trouble with quite a few people. He even managed to get Carim angry.
Keroko: *growls* I'm not surprised, considering what the damn thing does. Even though she's one of the calmest people I know of and ... *hears Artei & Sophia laughing*
Keroko: Why are they laughing like that?
A & S: My name is NEO!!
Kha: Oh I remember that.
Keroko: Mind explaining?
Kha: Its quite a story, I'll tell you later. Sakura, since those two can't seem to do anything but laugh, mind answering my original question?
Sakura: Hayate-chan called us here, she said she got something to show us after the demonstration and since we got here early, you decided to see what new antics Tais is going to get himself into.
*Meanwhile in a conference Room at RF6 headquarters
Tsuzuki: Thank you again Lieutenant Colonel Yagami for hosting my demonstration and providing us a meeting place and thank you gentlemen of the Budget Review
Committee for taking the time to review Project Eva.
Hayate: It was nothing. [That log of Yui's better be as good as you claim it to be, Director and don't forget your promise of sending us 'that' once you perfected them]
Tsuzuki: [Trust me, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've seen it and it was very, very interesting to see and yes I won't forget.]
BRC Member 1: Cut the crap Tsuzuki and get on with it. We three are all busy men with a lot to do. You better hope your little demonstration is impressive enough. You know the price for failure in this case.
Tsuzuki: Right, on with the demonstration. *Picks up the microphone and calls upon Tais and a group of tactical combat training officers to the RF6 training grounds.*
*outside the training grounds (Stars & Lightning Group)
PA-Tsuzuki: Okay everyone! Its time for the demonstration to start. Will Corporal Tais of the CSDB and the Tactical Combat Training Officers please step onto the field. Ladies and gentlemen, once the participants are on the field, we will be setting up a barrier for safety reasons but don't worry, we have also set up surveillance drones all over the field so that you can still view the action through your monitor screens.
Subaru: Ne ne Nanoha-san, why are we watching this demo? We already know what Tais no hentai's device can do.
Teana: Subaru no baka! Its not just Corporal Scien. There are Officers from the Tactical Combat Training Bureau who will be involved in this demonstration. Do you think we get a chance to see something like this everyday?!
Subaru: But Nanoha-san is also from this unit and ITAI! ITAI!! That hurts!! I give up! I give up!!
Teana: *pinching Subaru* You really are an idiot!!
Nanoha: Ma ma... Stop playing you two. Teana is right, its not everyday others get to see a training battle like this. Pay close attention to their tactics and fighting styles and... Yes Caro?
Caro: Ano, Nanoha-san? Fate-san is rather pale.
Nanoha: Hmm, You're right. Fate-chan, are you alright, you don't look so well. Do you need to go see Shamal?
Fate: I'm alright. Just... just some bad memories. *turns to look at Teana*
Fate: Teana.
Teana: Yes, Fate-taichou?
Fate: I want you you remember what I'm going to tell you next since you're aiming to be an enforcer. If you ever have to visit the CSDB, be on your guard at all times.
Teana: Huh?
Fate: Remember it!
Erio: Its about to start.
PA-Tsuzuki: Looks like all participants are in place and to be fair, the training field will be randomized and hold on a second. Ladies and gentlemen, it seems like the gentlemen from the tactical combat training bureau have decided to subject themselves to training limiters with the level also being randomized "so that that poor guy actually gets a fighting chance". Seems like they are underestimating what we at the CSDB can come up with. Okay, the results are in and the training field will be at urban setting and limiters are at "B" mage level. Battle will begin in 3. 2. 1. Battle start!
*10 minutes later in the conference room
BRC Member 1: Pah! You waste our time for this pathetic display? Its 10 minutes already and your man Scien is only able to fight them to a stand still! I expected that at least 1 of the officers would be downed already.
Tsuzuki: Pathetic? I happen to disagree. I'd say that he's doing rather well considering...
BRC Member 2: Considering?
Tsuzuki: Considering Tais is only a D+ rank mage and the EVA device is in its very basic mode. No cartridge system, no add ons, not even the AI is helping him. Not to mention the other systems and such we installed but not unlocked yet. Oh and he isn't allowed to use any spells or abilities he knows.
BRC Member 3: WHAT?! You're saying a D+ is fighting 4 B rank mages from the training bureau and is holding his own?!
Tsuzuki: Of course. I would be ashamed if that's all we managed to come up with after months of development and research. Time to give the officers a surprise. Excuse me for a minute.
*Tsuzuki exits the room and communicates telepathically with Ritsuko
Tsuzuki: [Ritsuko-chan, inform Tais that he has permission to use Yui, cartridges and the magagumo wizard pack.]
Ritsuko: [On it]
Tsuzuki: [Oh and Ritsuko-chan, tell him he is to finish the battle within 3 minutes]
Ritsuko: [... You're an a**h*** you know. Expecting him to do the impossible.]
*Tsuzuki reenters the room and together with Hayate and the 3 Budget Review Committee Members watch as Tais slowly gain the upper hand after gaining additional support systems for the EVA device. 7 minutes later, the last officer is felled.
BRC Member 2: Not bad Tsuzuki, not bad at all. That was a nice display.
BRC Member 1: Pah! 17 minutes to take care of 4 B ranks. I expected better.
BRC Member 3: Now don't be a sour puss. A D+ managing such a feat is amazing. Of course, the device did play a major part. Speaking of which, is this all Tsuzuki?
Tsuzuki: Of course not. This is just the first half. I'm planning on having him fight someone else that is stronger. Someone who can last against the might of the technology of the CSDB.
BRC Member 1: Spit it out, who is he fighting?
Tsuzuki: I haven't decided yet...
All : ...
Tsuzuki: But no worries, in this very room itself, there is a very powerful mage. How about it Lieutenant Colonel Yagami? Wanna give it a go?
Hayate: I'm flattered but no. I'm also under a limiter and am only a bit stronger then the officers from the Training division currently.
Tsuzuki: Oh? That's ok, there are many other mages here today. I'm sure we can get someone. [Is that the real reason or because you must restrain yourself for that blunder?]
Hayate: [Say anything about that and I'll make sure you'll experience much pain.]
Tsuzuki: [Woo, kinky. I never thought you are the S & M type. I wonder how you look in a dominatrix outfit.]
Hayate: [... You're one sick individual director]
Tsuzuki: [Flattery will get you everywhere ]
BRC Member 3: So who are you going to select? *looking at various screens showing powerful mages in attendance including Kha, Aurion, Keroko...*
Hayate: I have a nomination if you don't mind. *looking at a certain screen*
Spoiler for Part 2:
*outside at the training grounds (Stars & Lightning Group)
Teana: Tais no hentai won?! I don't believe it!
Caro: Amazing!
Erio: Is he really that strong? We're ranked higher than him but I don't think any of us can defeat 4 training bureau mages on our own.
Subaru: Hey Tea, I beat him once does that mean I'm stronger than 4 training bureau mag... ITAI!! *Holding her head*
Subaru: Tea, what was that for....
Teana: Ahou! You forget that his device is much versatile than ours not to mention it has stronger defensive capabilities.
Fate: That is part of the reason not still not entirely correct.
Erio: Fate-san, what do you mean?
Fate: I'll let Nanoha-chan explain since she is much more qualified than me.
Nanoha: Na ha ha... Like Teana explained earlier, Corporal Scien's device is indeed much more versatile and gives him greater defenses. However, him being a D+ mage is rather misleading. If I were to rate him, I would say he's about a low A- instead. Its not easy to cast and maintain multiple force field spells alone and he can do it without problems.
Rookies: EHEH?!?!
Fate: Are you surprised? You must remember that not all mages take the mage ranking exams to increase their mage ranks when they got the chance.
Caro: But why don't they?
Aurion: Well, they have their reasons but in Corporal Scien's case, its likely he has no reason to since he's with the CSDB unlike you guys who sees a lot of combat. Your mage ranks would give another commander a basic idea of what you can do if he has to take charge of you lot.
Rookies: Aurion-san!
N + F: Ohayo Aurion Oji-chan.
Aurion: Ohayo minna. Sorry to interrupt. Please continue Miss Instructor.
Nanoha: Mou... Anyway, another reason is that we in the training bureau love flying. As such, we tend to train in the air more often than on the ground. Being limited to B rank makes it hard to use flight magics and in the urban setting, the close and tight spaces suit Corporal Scien more, giving him the advantage of terrain.
Aurion: Don't forget that they are totally underestimating their opponent with that random training limiter thing.
Nanoha: Ha ha...
PA-Tsuzuki: Ladies and gentlemen. We'll now have a 15 minute break before continuing with part 2 of the demonstration where this time, Corporal Tais will be fighting against a single powerful opponent. Many of you have heard of this person. One of the bureau's best instructors, a specialist in both single and group combat who has proven herself time and time again on the battlefield, the key to victory, the Ace of Aces herself, Captain Takamichi Nanoha!
Stars & Lightning: EHEH?!?!?!
Erio: Nanoha-san, you're fighting next?
Caro: Please be careful.
Teana: Nanoha-san, good luck on your match.
Subaru: Beat him up real good Nanoha-san!
Fate: Nanoha, why didn't you tell us?
Nanoha: Wait, wait! I didn't know I am involved. I'm going to ask Hayate-chan about this.
Nanoha: [Hayate-chan, is there a mistake? How come I'm fighting Tais next?]
Hayate: [Well, I suggested it. Director Tsuzuki needed someone powerful and impressive to fight against Tais]
Nanoha: [But why me? Why not your knights or even Fate-chan?]
Hayate: [Well, I thought of the rest, but you're the most suitable. Vita, Signum and Tesla would likely injure Tais too badly for reasons I'm sure you remember. Shamal is our doctor so I can't spare her for this. As for Fate, remember that incident involving Erio?]
Nanoha: [But, but what about err....:think: Zafira-kun?]
Hayate: [He could do it but he isn't that well known. Can you honestly tell me that it didn't take you a moment to even remember him?]
Nanoha: [Ha ha...]
Hayate: [So you're the only one left.]
Nanoha: [So I'm you last choice? Mou... Alright I'll do it. But next time we at Fuji's, you're footing the bill.]
Hayate: [WHAT?! Oh alright...]
Nanoha: [Nya ha ha.]
Fate: So what did Hayate say?
Nanoha: Well, the CSDB needed someone and for various reasons, I'm selected. I'm going to do some preparations now so I'll see you guys later.
Fate: Be safe.
*13 minutes later inside the training grounds
Tais: [So I can use whatever I have already activated but not anything else?]
Ritsuko: [That is correct, but I'll contact you later when permission for mode 2 is given.]
Yui: [We're doomed... We got very lucky in the previous battle and now we're going up against one of the most powerful mages in the TSAB? Are you sure Director Tsuzuki is not trying to kill us? First the open season on Tais and now this...]
Ritsuko: [Look on the bright side, he was asking Lieutenant Colonel Yagami to be your opponent but she declined the invitation. If it was her, you'll really be dead.]
Tais: [Hee...]
Yui: [There isn't much difference. Even though Tais is rather dumb and I'm just newly created, we still heard rumors about her. No matter what enemy. No matter what ally. The one who mows everything down with maximum destructive power. The "White Devil" of the Administrative Bureau, Captain Takamichi Nanoha!]
Ritsuko: [You do have a point. But think of this as a chance.]
Tais: [A chance? To do what?]
Yui: [To die young apparently]
Ritsuko: [A chance to prove the might of the CSDB and to get rid of your nickname as the "Biggest Loser of the TSAB". Your pride here is at stake. Besides what kind of man are you if you run away from a woman?]
Yui: [A living one.]
Ritsuko: [Yui, shut up. You're not helping things. So Tais, what is your decision? Run like a coward and live? Or fight and rid yourself from that horrible nickname? You choice here will affect your future. Think about it and let me know.]
Yui: So Tais, what are you going to do?
Tais: ... I'm going to fight and win my freedom from that nickname.
Yui: Are you sure? Your life may be at stake here.
Tais: Dr. Ritsuko is right. This is the best chance I've got. If I run away now, I'm sure I'll regret it later. Besides if I managed to survive and win, I might impress Ginga-san enough that she would agree to be my girlfriend.
Yui: ... Only you are stupid enough to think you can win against the White Devil. And I should have known that Ginga-san is part of the reason.
Tais: Hehe
Tais: [Dr. Ritsuko, I've decided. I'm going to fight and I'm going to win!]
Ritsuko: [That's the spirit. Show everyone how great we at the CSDB are.]
Tais: [Yosh!!]
Yui: [Sigh...]
*2 minutes later, Training grounds in forest setting
Nanoha: We're going to have the demonstration battle soon. Are you ready Tais?
Tais: I'm ready to take you down! I'm going to win this battle!
Nanoha: Hey hey, this is just a demonstration battle. There's no need to take it so seriously.
PA-Tsuzuki: Looks like the participants are ready. Training field is at forest setting. Battle begins now!
Spoiler for Part 3:
*With a loud battle cry, Tais charges towards Nanoha and attempts a shoulder tackle*
Nanoha: Round shield!
*As Tais crashes into the shield, Nanoha counterattacks*
Raising Heart: [Barrier Burst]
*Blasting him away, Nanoha attacks with dizzying speed by swiping Raising heart at Tais's legs while simultaneously aiming a high kick at the side of his head. Tais managed to avoid Raising Heart but got distracted and thus getting hit by the kick with a loud clank*
Tais: Pink...
Yui: At a time like this, you still can peek at her underwear?!
Nanoha: Ouch! Damnit Tais, what is that device made of? And stop looking!
Tais: I can't help it. You're the one that's flashing me.
Yui: I'll answer the first. Simply said, its battleship armor.
Nanoha: No wonder my foot hurts. Staying in melee is not an option. *jumps back and starts to take to the air*
Raising Heart: [Flier Fin]
Tais: You're not getting away. Activating magagumo wizard pack!
*Launching the 6 tentacles, each trying to grab Nanoha or preventing her to get into the sky but she was too agile. Like a beautiful and graceful ballerina, she dances through and around the tentacles, showing the world she indeed deserves the designation of Ace, one who excels in her fields and fights with grace.*
Nanoha: Not a bad effort Tais, but now its your turn to be on the defensive.
Raising Heart: [Divine Shooter]
*As the high speed shots flies towards Tais, he retracts the tentacles to a more manageable length and parries the attack.*
Nanoha: Looks like basic attacks aren't going to work. Get ready Tais, I'm bringing out the big guns.
Raising Heart: [Load cartridge. Accel Shooter]
Yui: Crap! Tais, hand control of the tentacles to me! You focus on dodging the ones I miss.
Tais: Right.
*Frantically trying to block and dodge the attack, the two were surprised when 3 of the shots hit them from behind, dealing damage to the armor.*
Nanoha: Hey Tais, don't forget to guard behind you. You must be aware of your surroundings at all times. You will get badly injured if your armor isn't that strong. So what are you going to do now? Your tentacles are not long enough to reach me and I can keep shooting at you all day.
Tais: ...
Nanoha: Are you giving up?
Tais: ...
Nanoha: Hey are you ok? *starts hovering a bit lower*
Tais: Cross Explosion!!
*Shooting the attack below Nanoha, the blast explodes upwards in the shape of a cross nearly catching her by surprise due to the unusual attack.*
Yui: Cartridge loaded. Tais, concentrating on shooting, I'll handle the loading and energy gathering. Ignore her return shots. The armor can take it. Just knock her out of the sky before she recovers.
Tais: Got it. Cross explosion! Cross explosion! Cross explosion!
Nanoha: Accel Shooter!
*While Nanoha manages to dodge the attacks from Tais, the reverse is not true. With each successive attack from her, more and more of the armor starts chipping off.*
Nanoha: Hey Tais, you're getting too serious. This is a demonstration battle and not a brawl. You're going to over strain yourself with the amount of cartridges you are using. You will suffer internal damage if you continue like this.
Tais: Even if I have to injure myself to defeat you, I will do it. I'm not an elite like you and your friends. I'm not even as talented like the people you are training now. If I do not push myself harder like I'm going to die, I will not be able to defeat you! Cross Explosion!!
Raising Heart: [Protection Powered]
Tais: *panting* Did I do it?
Yui: I can't tell, there's too much smoke.
*outside at the training grounds (Stars & Lightning Group)
Teana:...
Subaru: Tea, are you alright?
Teana: He's making the same mistake like me.
Erio:...
Caro: Tea-san...
Aurion: Tch! Lanster, I didn't know that you're so arrogant.
Rookies: EHEH?!
Teana: W-what?!
Aurion: I heard about your little temper tantrum
Teana: :Blush:
Aurion: But do you honestly think that he's committing a mistake?
Fate: He's not?
Aurion: In my opinion, not really. You see, even if the situation seems to be the same, they're not.
Caro: Aurion Oji-san, I don't understand.
Aurion: Let me put it this way. Lanster here, thought that she was weak when no one else did. However, although Scien seems weak, he isn't but everyone seems to think he is. Hence the nickname "Biggest Loser of the TSAB". Right now I believe that he's fighting to rid himself of that horrible name, to be once again a proud member of the TSAB.
*back inside the training grounds
*As the smoke clears, the figure of Nanoha can be seen standing with an unreadable expression on her face.*
Nanoha: Its seems like I have to teach you a lesson I had to give to one of mine a few days earlier.
Raising Heart: [Cartridge Loaded]
Nanoha: Divine Buster. Shoo-to!
Tais: AT Field!! Yui load all remaining cartridges to the shield!
Yui: I can't. we're out!
Tais: Oh sh**!
*Halting for a few scant seconds before breaking through the shield, the divine buster scores a direct hit, dealing critically damage to the device and knocking Tais down and flat on his back.*
Nanoha: The battle is over Tais. I'm sorry for injuring you like this.
Tais: No.. I ... I can still fight. *Tries to stand up*
Nanoha: Tais, stop moving. You're going to hurt yourself further. Look at yourself. You can't stand up and your device is literally falling off you in pieces.
Tais: I... will not give up! *with a tremendous effort, he stood up*. Captain Takamichi, let's continue.
Nanoha: No. I'm stopping the battle here. If you really want to win that badly, I'll concede victory to you. *turns and starts to walk off*
Tais: Don't run away! Cross...
Nanoha: *turns around and slams Raising heart to the side of Tais's exposed side, knocking him down again* Why Tais, why are you trying so hard? Why won't you accept victory even when I offer it to you?
Tais: It is because my pride is on the line.
Nanoha: You are going to throw away your life because of your pride? What kind of nonsense is that. What use is your pride if you die? I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm stopping the battle and calling for the medics.
Tais: *Standing up* ..."White Devil"
Nanoha: What?!
Tais: I said go ahead and run away "White Devil". I always thought you are a kind person but it seems like the rumors are true after all. You really are the "White devil". How proud of yourself you must be today, brutally crushing not only "Greatest Loser of the TSAB" but also the prides of everyone at the CSDB.
Nanoha: W-what?
Tais: The people at the CSDB had put in alot of effort in project EVA. This device I'm using comes from all their efforts. They have placed countless hours and effort to build this. Their honor is also at stake. If the battle stops here, I'll end up disappointing them all!!
*outside the training grounds (Group of Kha, Keroko, Artei & Sophia)
Keroko: I'm going to kill that Corporal Scien later. How dare he keep calling Nanoha Onee-chan "White Devil" so many times. Throwing away his life away like that, how stupid can you get.
Kha, Artei & Sophia: *Surprised look on their faces*
Keroko: What?
Sophia: I'm pretty surprised you can actually say that with a straight face.
Artei: Are you sure you're the captain of Rogue Squadron, the most reckless and unorthodox unit in the TSAB?
Keroko: What has that got to do with anything?
Kha: Seems like you don't understand. Right now Tais is fighting for honor and pride and not for life or survival.
Keroko: Ah, I see, so this is for his pride?
Kha: Yes, there are two types of fights and we must always know what type of fight we're in. One is to defend honor and pride, the other is for life and survival. Partly because of these two *pointing at Artei and Sophia*, Tais got labeled as the "Greatest Loser of the TSAB". I'm sure you don't like being referred to as "Deathwing Keroko" or "Black Demon". Now think of how Tais must feel with that name.
Keroko: Actually, I don't mind. But back to the point, if he understands this why must he keep on calling Nanoha-chan "White Devil"?
Artei: Right now, Nanoha-san still isn't really taking him seriously. She's treating this like a mock training battle, treating him like one of her trainees and not as a serious opponent.
Sophia: He's trying to provoke her, so that she will finally fight him seriously.
Keroko: But if she gets serious, he might be killed.
Kha: That may be true. If she stops the battle now or he accepts Nanoha's forfeit, Tais will surely survive but at the same time, it will kill his pride for all eternity. That is why he fights on.
Spoiler for Part 4:
*back inside the training grounds
Nanoha: Stop it! Stop calling me that! I'm not a devil! I'm not!!
Raising Heart: [Master, calm down my master]
Ritsuko: [Tais, Yui, usage of EVA device mode 2 is granted. All subsystems are also available for use]
Yui: If you don't like it then do something about it!
Nanoha: *looking at Tais and Yui with an unreadable expression on her face*
Nanoha: Raising Heart, load cartridge
Yui: [Tais, I'll set up mode 2, You're on defense]
Tais: Got it. *Starts gathering energy*
Raising Heart:[...Alright. Cartridge loaded. Divine Buster]
Nanoha: SHOO-TO!!!
Yui: EVA Mode 1 Release!
Nanoha: What?!
Tais: I call upon the holy region, the light of the soul, the place that must not be invaded by anyone, the wall the encloses the heart of man. AT Field Maximum Power!!!
*With a large explosion, the beam impacts against the shield. This time however, the shield has gotten reinforced with additional power and managed to hold... barely*
Yui: [Initializing. EVA mode 2 setup]
Yui: [Initializing subsystems. A003 - "Sachiel". A007 - "Israfel". A014 - "Zeruel". A017 - "Tabris". Systems all green.]
Yui: [Initializing additional systems. PVK-263 - "Phantom Cartridge System". Holonic Armor. Retro rockets. Magagumo Wizard pack. Systems all green.]
Yui: [EVA mode 2 setup complete]
Tais/Yui: Syncro rate at 36%. Perpare yourself "White Devil"!! We're not the same person you were smacking around earlier! [Phantom Cartridge, burst! Cross Flare!]
Nanoha: *surprised at the speed of the blast* What the?!
Raising Heart: [Accel Fin]
Tais/Yui: You will not get away. [Phantom Cartridge, constant burst! Retro rockets activate!]
*Chasing her into the sky, the two mages exchange shots in an aerial dogfight. With her greater experiance and agility, Nanoha dodges every single attack from Tais while shooting back with complete accuracy. In contrast, Tais/Yui completely takes every shot from Nanoha while trying to shoot her down.*
Nanoha: Shooting at you is even worse than shooting at a mountain. *dodges a cross flare from Tais/Yui* How can you take all those shots without even slowing down?
Raising Heart: [Accel Shooter]
Tais/Yui: *Taking the shots* Eva mode 2 uses a new armour alloy which is lighter but just as strong as the battleship armor in Mode 1. Besides that, we have the Holonic Armor which is extra protection against energy damage. Your shots will take too long to break through our defences. [Cross Flare!]
*Avoiding the attack, Nanoha starts speeding up in order to put some distance between them.*
Raising Heart: [Limiter Released]
Nanoha: Huh?
Hayate: [Stars-1, This is Long Arch.]
Nanoha: [Hayate? I'm a little busy here. Its a bit hard to penatrate Tais's defences]
Hayate: [I can see that. With your current level of power and the CSDB's Phantom Cartridge System powering Tais's device, I've decided to release your limiters. Director Tsuzuki also suggested it. Nanoha-chan, You need to becareful. Tais is dead serious about defeating you. Try to knock him out as fast as possible.]
Tais/Yui: Captain Takamichi, what are you spacing out for in a fight? [Phantom Cartridge, burst! Cage Barrier!]
*Diving to avoid crashing into the Force Field that suddenly sprung up. Nanoha realised that she has flown straight into a trap.*
Tais/Yui: We got you now!! [Phantom Cartridge, multi-burst! Cross Flare Wide area variation attack!! Cross Symphony!!]
*With that, a large area around Nanoha eurpts with hundreds of crossed shape explosions. Coming in for a landing, Tais/Yui checks the results of their attack*
Tais/Yui: Did we win? Yui, how much power remaining in the Phantom Cartridge System?
Tais/Yui: About 3 minutes. *random burst* Correction about 2 minutes at maximum output.
*Hearing a sound, Tais/Yui turned and saw Nanoha in Exceed mode without being damaged at all*
Tais/Yui: *getting binded* A Bind?! How did you avoid that attack? We were sure it hit you!
Nanoha: You nearly hit me. If I didn't flash moved out of the area, you would have won. Raising Heart, Load Cartridge.
Raising Heart: [Alright]
Nanoha: Since your energy defences are very strong, this should do the trick. Stardust Fall!!
*Lifting hundreds of rocks, she accelerates them at the bound Tais/Yui. As the rain of fast falling rocks subsides, the strugling form of Tais can be seen amist the rubble.*
Tais/Yui: Looks like this is our last ditch effort. *Raises his shaking fist and starts chanting* My fist is the divine breath. Blossom, o fallen seed, and draw upon our hidden powers. Grant unto us the power of the glorious 'Mother of Destruction. Forced Unison Mode, UNLOCK!
Nanoha: You're still consious?
Tais/Yui: *Roars*
*Startled by the inhuman roar, she takes a step back. Breaking through the earth beneath her, a lone tentacle manages to snag her left foot. In a brutal attack, it swings her violently through the air before slamming her body through a tree truck and than smashing her into the ground. Pulling her up, other tentacles grabbed onto her other limbs tightly, ensuring she is unable to escape. Projecting an energy lance from the palm of his hand, the berzerked Tais/Yui lets lose another inhuman roar and retracts the tentacles. Pulling Nanoha into range, the berzerker slams the energy lance into her chest, resulting in another massive explosion.*
All: NANOHA!!!
*Inside the conference Room at RF6 headquarters
Hayate: NANOHA!! *Seeing Director Tsuzuki seemingly unconcerned, she pulls him off his seat*
Hayate: How can you be so calm!!! Tais just killed Nanoha!!
BRC Member 2: Yes. I agree with her. Your man Scien just murdered Captain Takamichi.
BRC Member 3: Why did you not disable such a leathel weapon!
Tsuzuki: Let me explain. Lieutenant Colonel Yagami please put me down.
Hayate: Explain!? What is there to explain?! She's dead!!
Tsuzuki: Calm down She is still alive and probably just a little dazed. That weapon Tais used does exactly zero damage to living tissue. I swear it.
BRC Member 1: How is that possible?
Tsuzuki: That weapon, which we named [Concussion Lance] is developed as an anti seige weapon, designed to deal damage specifically to non-living material only. When used against non-living objects like walls, it will blast a big hole in it. However, against a living target, the most it does is blast away most of your clothing and dazing you with the explosion.
Hayate: Are you sure?
Tsuzuki: Of course I am. I even tested that thing on myself. If you like, you can test it on me here as I've got a copy of that weapon with me right now. You can stab me where ever you like with it. Uffu~un!
BRC Member 2: that will not be nesserary.
*back in the training grounds
Nanoha: *Cough, cough* Ouch...
*As the smoke clears, Nanoha stands up showing everyone that she is still alive and unharmed despite the fatalistic looking attack. However the same cannot be said about her barrier jacket which is in tatters although still managing to perserve her modesty. Sensing a 'hungry' pressence, she see the berzerked Tais/Yui who is emitting an almost reptilian growl.*
Nanoha: Raising Heart, can you continue?
Raising Heart: [Yes, my master. I can still be shot]
*Stopping in mid charge, Tais/Yui quickly activate their active defences consisting of a max powered AT Field Plus and 3 force fields. But like a blade passing through wet tissue paper, the Barrel Shot breaks down AT Field Plus with moderate difficulty. With a cry of Break Shoot, she tears down the 3 force fields easily before blasting Tais/Yui with the main shot of the Excelion Buster. Despite getting blasted a few hundred feet away, Tais/Yui stood up again even though it is very clear that he is seriously injuried with blood leaking out from the cracks and holes in the armour.*
*Letting loose another inhuman roar, Tais/Yui gets down on all fours and charges Nanoha like a wild beast out for blood. In her semi-dazed state, Nanoha just sees Tais charging at her at high speed and decides to use her most powerful spell, The starlight Breaker. Accompanied by the melody of twinkling stars, Nanoha gathers the magical particles rapidly and aiming Raising Heart at the charging figure. With another roar, Tais/Yui put forth a burst of speed and leaps into the air, perparing to impale Nanoha with his bare hands. Knowing there isn't enough time to finish gathering power for the normal Starlight Breaker, Nanoha orders Raising Heart to load all remaining cartridges and unleashes the Starlight Breaker Varient at the berzerker. This time, Tais/Yui does not stand up after getting hit*
*Inside the conference Room at RF6 headquarters
BRC Member 2: Looks like the battle is finally over.
BRC Member 3: Yes. You better go collect your man and get him into surgery soon if you want to save his life. Looks like the device has melted in several places.
Hayate: Allow me to offer the use of my medical facilities here.
Tsuzuki: Thank you but I cannot accept your generous offer. Tais has gravely insulted Captain Takamichi so is doesn't feel right to use your facilities here after that.
Hayate: What are you talking about! Saving his life now is more important.
BRC Member 2: Tsuzuki, accept her offer. The battle for pride is over. Now its the one for life.
Tsuzuki: ...Okay. I accept. I'll leave him in the capable hands of your staff. His punishment will be decided on a later date. [By the way, I'll take Yui back with me later if you don't mind.]
Hayate: I've contacted Shamal to prepare for emergency surgery already. [Go ahead and don't worry about Tais. Even if I don't like him, I won't want him to die]
BRC Member 1: We'll be leaving as well. Thank you for your hospitality Yagami. Tsuzuki, we'll contact you a few days later about the budget review decision.
Tzusuki: Okay. Thank you for for time gentlemen, Lieutenant Colonel Yagami. [ Who says I'm worried about Tais. That guy can survive anything. Even if he died, I got coffins prepared already ]
Hayate: [You really are one scary guy.]
~End CSDB Observation Report~
I think I need to re edit this at a later date and nerf Tais somewhat. I think I over upgraded him. Hmm... Looking at this chunk of trashly writing, I think I'll stick to slip slap humor. What do you guys think?
Well I liked it... Don't see why you're so hard on yourself.... The upgrades are getting a little extreme but they're not in the haxx region yet... I think If he had survived nanoha's SLB then i would be crying nerf....

Spoiler for Profile:
“There is only one place I belong to."
Austin Gloster Abrams, or just Austin as he prefers friends to call him, at 76 years old, aside from the 3 Admirals, is one of the few TSAB 2nd Generations still in active duty, after Graham's retirement following the medium-scaled dimensional Book of Darkness incident. Born in an era where TSAB was just around its early stages of fully implementing the anti-conventional weaponry stance with the emergence of the 3 Admirals alongside importance of the Ground Center in the establishment, he joined TSAB's Ground Force at 15 years old as an A- Ground Combat mage as a Private. In the years to come, he rose up the ranks to being a Major of the Ground Force. However, due to constant stress from overworking, along with the sheer ridiculousness of implementing a close-combat function of that concept in a time where Mid-childan system of magecraft was still not fully concepted for close-combat in any form whatsoever, in a co-op battle with the Navy and the Air Force during AdmiralS, he pushed himself so bad his Linker Core was severely damaged to the point where he could no longer be considered a mage.
He retired as a front-line officer following that incident, and became a drill instructor instead. However, when his...methods proved to be too much for the less-elite Ground trainee mages, he was transfered over to the Air Force as their drill instructor instead. It was due to his methods and practices that the Air Force's trainers in the current times, practice a very harsh training standards for themselves, and also extremely harsh standards on their officers. (( This is why Viva was..criticized in the reports, and Nanoha talked about the Air Force instructor's Spartan methods. ))
Austin Gloster Abrams, even as a child, all the way to his old age, embodies a single philosophy in life.
"If you're not half-dead, you're still perfectly alive."
He knows little of limits, and is the type to keep pushing himself further, further, further and further. He has very harsh standards for people, but before everything else, he is harsher on himself. Even though he crippled himself in that incident, he never once regretted it and merely considered it a different kind of obstacle to climb over. Thus, due to his hard-biter personality, he cannot accept ever being delegated to being a paper-pusher, and constantly gets himself physically strong and active during trainings of the TSAB recruits. He has a very spartan approach to the things he do, and goes to great lengths to do so, be it forcing the recruits to sleep less than 3 hours everyday, (( he sleeps an hour a day )), attacking the recruits in the middle of the night to test their awareness, impromptu missions following harsh training, non-stop 48 hours training.... And it was said that his 2-days personal training regime for prospects who survived his training with a B+ evaluation from him (( generally, the pass factor is D )) is even harsher and more mentally stricken that all of the several months drill camp put together, which was already toned down for majority's sake.
“There is only one thing you all need to engrave into your hearts… go beyond thou self.”
Although he is very military-minded and strict in such dealings, he's generally sociable when things do not involve the need to be alert 24-7. It's just that very few youngsters and people dare to approach him to know him beyond his evil reputation as a life-sapping evil instructor from hell, while his old friends back from his days are either paper-pushing big shot now who are too busy, retired or dead.
“Even a child can kill with just a knife or a gun. If you think for once you can let your guard down simply because you’re stronger, the enemy’s an old haggard, or whatever reason that lets your ego or opinions go above everything I’ve taught you, then you can expect me to be at your funeral or hospital-bed one day…
And don’t expect me to bring flowers.”
Visual Showcase: Mock-battle with AA- ranked Modern Belka Air Force Lieutenant.
Spoiler:
Although he is no longer a mage, he is still considered to be one of TSAB's very best in hand-to-hand close combat, even after the emergence of Modern Belka. Ever since his retirement as a mage, he went on to improve every other physical aspect of his capabilities, from knife-combat, dirty tricks in fights, close-combat, bodybuilding, everything that would help him keep in edge even if he's no longer a mage. With that, even half a decade later, he is still physically very very very healthy, unlike his other peers, and is still stronger than any mage out there in close-combat, even after they've been boosted by magic.
I really like the character Seems like someone that I would make the BLADES train under sometime..... just need to figure out how to tie him in with my story line... hmmmm

Go ahead. Though understand that he NEVER holds back when training anyone, because no longer a mage and at his old age, he cannot afford to slouch even against rookie mages. Well, Kha's strong so there's no problem there...Just pointing out what would happen if anyone thinks they can let their guard down with the Evil Dirty Instructor...
Actually...Austin's not PHYSICALLY stronger...he's better, but I'm not going to make a non-mage 76 year old stronger than magic-boosted physical strength. He is very strong, but he can't break through iron walls.
He's a street-smart close-combat fighter that adapts to situations. If the enemy is emotional, he'll trash-talk him into making any opening. If the enemy is VERY fast...Sonic Move fast, he covers the surrounding ground with his always-carried dust and gauges the angle and speed of attack to launch a counter-attack, or even sprinkle dirt into their eyes as they rush at full speed. His every attack aims at vital, dangerous spots like eyes, the bone in the middle of the nose, etc while he holds his knuckle out front, to deliver a bone-crushing haymaker. Using surroundings, terrains, enemy's mental condition, his own condition...he'll use ANYTHING to win.
Basically, he's strong even against Belka-powered mages because his experience and mentality allows him to use every trick in the book to win to the point it's almost instinctive. He doesn't need to think of what dirty tricks to pull against a superior enemy, it comes to him naturally and his body moves accordingly, honed from decades of experience.
He doesn't give a shit about knight's honor and stuff. For all he cares, in the battlefield, enemies will sneak, they will cheat and they won't say hello first, and it's only right the good guys...do the same.
I approve of his mentality * thumbs up*

Spoiler for Blood Session:
...And for the 152nd time that day, Kha found himself flying into pillar of the shaded pavillion by the sandy quadrangle.
His breathing was ragged; he spat blood from his cut lip as the young Cleric pushed himself back onto his feet. His eyes were ablaze with frustration.
"...That... was... low..." He squeezed his sore arm, as if it could force the numbing throb that was bouncing through his mind out.
"Low?" Austin broke his stance. "You think that was low?"
"...And dishonorable..." Alexei heaved, going through the motions to clear his mind as he was trained by his father.
Austin just laughed. "Yes LOW! DISHONORABLE! I hear that EVERYTIME!"
He turned to Kha. "I'll ask you again. Do you give up?"
And the boy replied like before, "No."
The big man charged suddenly. Kha had no time to move; the attack to his injured limb flattened out against the pillar, splaying blood out from the spilt cuts. Uncharacteristically, Austin held back from breaking the bone.
"You are a disciplined man... and yet..." Kha ignored the pain as he spoke into the old man's hawk eyes. "I don't understand this. Why?"
Austin smirked. About time someone asked. He stepped back, and the boy peeled off the wall onto his fours.
"Every Belka knight I've fought up till now have turned back and limped away, saying that I was a killer madman." Austin continued as Kha got back up chanting scripts to blot out the pain. "That there was no point in dishonorable combat."
He paused. The half-naked boy was still bent forward, but he was still listening.
"Bullshit." Austin barked. "100% bullshit. Do you know why?"
Kha shook his head.
"This isn't the dojo that the pansy New Belka knights grew up in, that's why..."
He pointed to a long stitch that ran down his left arm. "Bartilas, 0055. The 73rd had just landed and opened a foothold for us boys to move in. We went trench to trench, Crossfiring anything that moved. I came across one with only 2 scared recruits asking to surrender."
"You should've seen them white faces, boya. I'd bet they were wetting their pants as they held their devices up in the air. So I gave the order to stand down and go PoW, when a third bastard popped up. He blew two of my buddies, and my arm almost, before we took their brains out."
Kha's brows twitched.
"That's right, boya. This is the real world, where the enemy will sneak, they will cheat. They won't say hello first and so...
His voice toned down as he narrowed his gaze. "The good guys should be the same."
der Kleriker suddenly lashed out in a roundhouse which Austin parried easily, but the momentum of the block spun Kha into a vertical bicycle kick aimed at the buffed man's groin.
There was movement too fast for the eye, and Kha inexplicably found himself spinning uncontrollably through the air before smacking onto skin-biting sand back first, knocking his air out. Kha cringed; he tried to get up; this time however, his body disobeyed.
But Austin was smiling. In fact, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Pull yourself together, boya. What was your name again?"
"Kha..."
"Kha, here, 530am tomorrow. We'll do some real training then."
With that, he walked away.
"Thank you, Sir!" Kha shouted back.
I hope I got Austin's characterisation right, despite all the little liberties I've taken in adding things... He's such a tough guy I felt that making him talk so much was a problem.
And yes this was Kha Alexei before Fate and the girls softened him, much to Austin's disgust, I think? Though Keroko's ICB tendencies kept a piece of that alive.
Looking good Kha...
@thread Part 4 of the Blades v RF6 is about 50% done.... I can post/pm what I have to anyone who wants to read what is done already....
Is it okay that there's one young mage who perfectly understands his methods and philosophy, as opposed to just his friends "who were in big paper-pushing seats, or dead"?
2. I did not just like him; I agree fully. And this in fact gave me an idea for Kha's young days. This should be around when Kha was 14 years old, just after A's Epilogue. Which means it might have a spot in Point of Light

I'm fine with him having friends who understand him. I was just giving a generalization...It's boring if there's no interaction, right? Just so long as there's not very many, of course.
And while Austin's persona isn't exactly like that... it's almost alright. His speaking style is less "cliche-drill-instructor" though and is a little more subdued and mellow in style. He's also more serious-to-point, but considering this is a one-on-one training, he has a stronger sense of twisted humor when it comes to personal training..so I made some changes overall to his dialogues.
Spoiler for Blood Session NightengaleD:
...And for the 152nd time that day, Kha found himself flying into pillar of the shaded pavillion by the sandy quadrangle.
His breathing was ragged; he spat blood from his cut lip as the young Cleric pushed himself back onto his feet. His eyes were ablaze with frustration.
"...That... was... low..." He squeezed his sore arm, as if it could force the numbing throb that was bouncing through his mind out.
"Low, you say?" Austin broke his stance.
"...And dishonorable..." Alexei heaved, going through the motions to clear his mind as he was trained by his father.
Austin just laughed, with a ridiculously dry tone, as if mocking him. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Stopping dry at the very end of the laugh, as if not even laughing to begin with, he continued. "That's a good one... if only it didn't start to sound like a broken record, ever since 40 years ago."
He turned to Kha. "I'll ask you again. Do you give up?"
And the boy replied like before, "No."
The big man charged suddenly. Kha had no time to move; the attack to his injured limb flattened out against the pillar, splaying blood out from the spilt cuts. Uncharacteristically, Austin held back from breaking the bone. "Good. Because I don't intend to let you."
"You are a disciplined man... and yet..." Kha ignored the pain as he spoke into the old man's hawk eyes. "I don't understand this. Why?"
Austin smirked. About time someone asked. He stepped back, and the boy peeled off the wall onto his fours.
"Every one of your pussy knight kind I came across, be it strong or weak had spouted the same rubbish ass-down-in-the-drain chicken bull. Some limped, some cried, some stood strong and tall, but for most part, you immature sons-of-bitches mostly mostly wanked out with the same boring crap." Austin continued as Kha got back up chanting scripts to blot out the pain. "That it's meaningless dishonorable, knight's yadayada, 3 finger girl-scout cookie swear."
He paused. The half-naked boy was still bent forward, but he was still listening.
"Put an Bulls before hit and that sums up what I think of you Belkan piece of trashes." Austin barked. " And you know what? Even if it isn't shit of bulls, it's chicken's. For all I care, you maggots can sit down and rock your Saint Bible all day long and recite your girl-scout honor, and it makes no difference to my eyes and you know why?"
Kha shook his head.
"Because if the real world is your perverted mind and your pansy dojo, then you can start hailing me Saint Abrams and my first verse of teaching would be you just got yourself a candyass full of shit."
He pointed to a long stitch that ran down his left arm. "Bartilas, 0055. The 73rd had just landed and opened a foothold for us boys to move in. We went trench to trench, Crossfiring anything that moved. I came across one with only 2 scared recruits asking to surrender."
" It was a all too familiar scene, people cowering in sight of power and a drop of caution in sight of superiority. You must've seen something like this once or twice so don't pretend. So I gave the order to stand down and go PoW, when a third bastard popped up. He blew two of my buddies, and my arm almost, before we took their brains out."
Kha's brows twitched.
"That's right. This is the real world. This ain't the Holyness of Belka, this is the extent of reality. LISTEN HERE, YOU SORRY PIECE OF TRASH! What you want to believe and what the world will eventually feed you will collide one day! One day, you will face yourself. One day, you will see for yourself the world for what it is. The enemies, they don't give a damn...They will sneak, they will cheat and they will not say hello first!"
His voice toned down as he narrowed his gaze. "And what is wrong with that?"
der Kleriker suddenly lashed out in a roundhouse which Austin parried easily, but the momentum of the block spun Kha into a vertical bicycle kick aimed at the buffed man's groin.
There was movement too fast for the eye, and Kha inexplicably found himself spinning uncontrollably through the air before smacking onto skin-biting sand back first, knocking his air out. Kha cringed; he tried to get up; this time however, his body disobeyed.
But Austin was smiling. In fact, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Pull yourself together. What was your name again?"
"Kha..."
"Kha, here, 530am tomorrow. We'll do some real training then."
With that, he walked away.
"Thank you, Sir!" Kha shouted back.
I fixed Austin's dialogue. Note that he's more comical here, since he's only dealing with Kha alone. He wouldn't crack that much jokes when dealing with groups.
Edit : ~ Oh, and I nearly forgot.
A pic that's perfect for a WHAT-IF scenario for Saga. What if the Lost Pages also had its own Defense Program?
Spoiler for Alternate Saga:

Night~and~Gale: ~ The Final Mythology of the Man who Defied Destiny.
The sleeping lion shall awaken beyond the depths of time, crossing ten billion lights, come to Terra.
1. That's why I'm waiting for StrikerS to finish. And that's also why Kha has so many alternative pairings. If canon fixes Fate to Nanoha, Carym's the next girl. And if she dies, then Kha is returned to Sophia, which was the case very very very early in Kha's design process. A pimp always hedges his bets, whether he knows it or not, ne?
2. It's similar to one of the "7 Deaths of the Materium" that Kha and the Clerics before him were sent to prevent. He tells no one that info for it's of no use to mortals, and only serves to frighten them.
3. Hmm... I do recall Kha's latest Trace had an AT Field. And a few other defensive tricks.
Kha's a visionary, both literally and figuratively. 1. I loved that part. And I wanted it to have been a quote from the anti-Nanoha, Austin, that Kha repeated. Yeah apart from ripping others' spells off, he rips other people's words without noticing it too.
2. To me, "counter what you can do" and "survive whatever you throw at it" means the same thing. But I just realized that counter also seems to imply reflection as well as survival, which I did not intend to mean here. Oops.
Still, EVA-0X (ehat's Yui's serial again? ) has gained enough upgrades to warrant a place in the Infinite Spell Forge for Kha has Traced all of its defensive capabilities, and hence a complete copy of EVA now resides in the Forge for Kha's use, though with a 2 rank AAA to A nerf when activated outside of the Forge, and would require Sakura to be Unisoned In.1. Yeap. But a little correction: It's in the Infinite Spell Forge, not the Vault, as Kha has not mastered the Unlimited Imperium Vault. Looks like I need to factor in a description of these 2 Reality Marbles. Good thing the OCs with Eternal Tranquility Garden and Uninhibited Golden Throne, or the remaining 3 Eternal Divine Halls, have not been revealed, otherwise I'm gonna have a confusion on my hands.
Btw, the Belka Reality Marbles can be Traced, with a lot of effort, but it's possible... 1. And that's way we like it!
Is it okay that there's one young mage who perfectly understands his methods and philosophy, as opposed to just his friends "who were in big paper-pushing seats, or dead"?
2. I did not just like him; I agree fully. And this in fact gave me an idea for Kha's young days. This should be around when Kha was 14 years old, just after A's Epilogue. Which means it might have a spot in Point of Light
Spoiler for Blood Session:

He turned to Kha. "I'll ask you again. Do you give up?"

Austin smirked. About time someone asked. He stepped back, and the boy peeled off the wall onto his fours.
"Every Belka knight I've fought up till now have turned back and limped away, saying that I was a killer madman." Austin continued as Kha got back up chanting scripts to blot out the pain. "That there was no point in dishonorable combat."
He paused. The half-naked boy was still bent forward, but he was still listening.
"Bullshit." Austin barked. "100% bullshit. Do you know why?"
Kha shook his head.
"This isn't the dojo that the pansy New Belka knights grew up in, that's why..."
He pointed to a long stitch that ran down his left arm. "Bartilas, 0055. The 73rd had just landed and opened a foothold for us boys to move in. We went trench to trench, Crossfiring anything that moved. I came across one with only 2 scared recruits asking to surrender."
"You should've seen them white faces, boya. I'd bet they were wetting their pants as they held their devices up in the air. So I gave the order to stand down and go PoW, when a third bastard popped up. He blew two of my buddies, and my arm almost, before we took their brains out."
Kha's brows twitched.
"That's right, boya. This is the real world, where the enemy will sneak, they will cheat. They won't say hello first and so...
His voice toned down as he narrowed his gaze. "The good guys should be the same."
der Kleriker suddenly lashed out in a roundhouse which Austin parried easily, but the momentum of the block spun Kha into a vertical bicycle kick aimed at the buffed man's groin.

Kha da pimp... pity Sophia is your own creation otherwise it would be funny if all the girls become unavailable
Yui has no real serial code. Like the EVA device, she is simply labeled test type. Also, she will refuse to acknowledge being part of the EVA citing that the device itself is too damn ugly.
Ouch! That training session is painful. Getting slammed into a pillar for 152 times and he's still fighting? He sure is stubbon.

A pic that's perfect for a WHAT-IF scenario for Saga. What if the Lost Pages also had its own Defense Program?
Spoiler for Alternate Saga:
1. Yeah I used some cliches there to get into his head, but this really help! Tanks! Now the last things I've got to ask is
a) any idea what would Austin teach Kha?
b) where does he intend to stop, or how do you think it stops?
c) how Austin's regarding the Kha now, who's still spouting honorable knight-do, but knowing when to stop?
d) how does he take to being quoted over and over?
@Tshou: Yeah Naruto-ism comes to mind. I crafted Kha to be the missing link between all 3 Aces, and later 4, and so he's the one with the most armor, shields, willpower and target board mentality, and hence sacrificed attack power. He lost even more attack when I realized that he also has to have the speed of the fastest member in order to Intercept properly too. But sometimes... I wonder if a B+ ranked mage can survive getting pounded like that without his device, as Kha decided not to use it seeing that Austin's unarmed.
Actually Tais did survived... barely. Remember that log where Hayate got burned because of her sekuhara habits? This battle happened before that. The harder I am on myself, the more it forces me to write better. One should always write better than one's previous effort.
Edit: I like Nightengale's version way better That was a blast.
Oh I meant surviving so that he could still attack back...
Looking back at that post, it makes a lot more sense now
Aah, I see. Well by all means, be hard on yourself then... Just don't take it too far because all of your short fics have been great so far *thumbs up*
@Nightengale, the small changes to it make it better in the characterisation
Well...here's some more of Maren, Koji and Yui's (mis)adventures
Spoiler for Not so Formal Visit - Part 1:
In a road, Maren, Koji and Yui are currently heading to the Riot Force 6 Headquarters.
"I'm surprised...I didn't know Maren-san could drive..." Koji commented, sitting on the passenger's seat.
"But...Isn't Maren-chan a minor? We should be about the same age..." Yui added, sitting on the backseat.
"...Being an Enforcer has it's perks..." She said looking at the road.
"I see..." Koji tittered at her seriousness.
"By the way, why are we going to visit Hayate-chan's Division?" Yui leaned forward.
"Ah...it was about what happened in the day before you transfered to the HQ. Maren and I...well." He scratched his cheek, blushing a little.
"Hmmm" Yui glared at him.
"Ahahaha---" He looked out the window, "The weather's nice isn't it?"
"Onii-chan~ cough it up!" She poked his arm.
"Yui...backseat..." Maren reminded her.
"Oh, sorry..." She sat back.
"Minawa-kun and I were on a date when we got involved in an incident related to the Lost Logia called 'Relic'." She explained it rather calmly.
"What? Onii-chan~~ That's not fair! Going out with another girl when you have me!" She said teasingly.
"EH? D-don't say things like that! It might get interpreted the wrong way!" He looked back at Yui.
Maren sighed...these last few days have been like this one.
The warmth between them remained the same even when they argued, and she knew they were just playing around,
But...their relationship sure is wierd, for siblings...
----------------------------
As they crossed the bridge, they saw the building straight ahead.
Opening a holo-screen, Maren communicates her arrival.
"This is Enforcer Maren of Central HQ, we are now arriving at the parking lot."
"This is Control Officier Assistant, Griffith Lowran, feel free to park anywhere. I'll communicate your arrival to Commander Yagami."
"Understood" She confirmed.
After parking, they left the car and headed for the entrance.
"I know I'm just tagging along, but could you tell me why you're paying a visit to the RF6?"
"Hmm, yeah...we're not here to deliever the Relic since we're not allowed to do that..." Koji gave it some thought.
"We are here to receive thanks from the Commander and also exchange information in case another incident like that happens." Maren explained.
"I see...well, it'll be fun, seeing everyone again." She held onto Koji's arm.
"Y-Yui..." He complained, but then Yui slid her fingers between his.
"Teehee~" She giggled teasingly. "Payback for not telling me that you went on a date with Maren-chan." and winked.
----------------------------
At the entrance, Griffith was waiting for them, and took them to Hayate's office.
They rang the bell. "Yes, please come in." Hayate's voice was heard on the other side.
"Excuse us." They came in and saluted Hayate.
"Enforcer Maren, reporting."
"Private Second Class, Minawa Koji, reporting."
"Private Third Class, Minawa Yui, reporting."
"Ah, welcome." Hayate smiled.
She gets up from her desk and approaches them, "I am the commanding officer of Riot Force 6, Commander Yagami Hayate, pleased to meet you, Enforcer Maren."
"Likewise." She remained in saluting position.
"Don't worry about being formal. And..." She looks at Koji and Yui, "It's been a while, Koji-kun, Yui-chan."
"It sure has, Hayate-senpai." He bowed slightly.
"Hayate-neechan, where's Rein?" Yui looked around looking for her.
"She's with Shari in the lab, analyzing data from the Forwards...
"Oh..." She said a little disappointed.
Hayate walked to the couch, "Shall we go straight to business?" as she sat, she signaled them to sit aswell.
They all sat down and discussed about that day's event, sharing information from the battles.
----------------------------
"I was quite surprised to find out that is was Koji-kun who worked alongside Enforcer Maren to secure the Relic." Hayate commented.
"Well, we just happened to be there...it was mere coincidence." He tittered.
"We were on a date..."
"M-Maren-san??" He said surprised.
"What's wrong? It's what we were doing in the city after all..." Maren reminded him.
"B-but...." He slowly turned is head towards Hayate.
"...Date?" Hayate tilted her head. Silence followed...then looked at Koji, "As expected from Koji-kun! Good Job!" She showed her thumbs up.
"H-Hayate-senpai?" Surprised, he blushed embarrassed.
Hayate then held Maren's hands, "Maren-chan."
"Eh?" Koji didn't even notice Hayate getting next to Maren.
"Koji-kun is a healthy young man, I'm sure he'll be able to fulfill your expectations. I know that from personal experience." She winked at Maren.
Maren simply blinked.
"Hayate-senpai, why are you acting like my mother??" He said surprised, "And what do you mean by 'personal experience'??" He got redder by the second.
Hayate giggles, "Gomen ya, Koji-kun, it's beacause I haven't picked on you in such a long while."
"Ah...Don't worry about that, Hayate-senpai, Yui has been doing your share of pranks too..." He waved his hand assuring her.
Yui hugged him, "Yep, seeing Onii-chan's reaction is fun!" Koji sighed.
"I'm sure she has." Hayate giggled again.
"You know, there's still plenty of room here in the Riot Force 6, and your help would be welcome." She looked at them all.
"I appreciate the offer, but I'll politely decline it..." Maren said, bowing slightly.
"Too bad...how about you two?" She looked at the siblings.
"Eh?" They said in unison.
"W-well, it's quite tempting, but I'm currently working with Maren-san."
"Yeah, me too, I'm helping Onii-chan and Maren-chan too."
"Hmmm, I see, then maybe a tour would change your mind?"
"That would be nice. Right, Yui?" Koji turned to her.
"Yes." Yui nodded.
"Maren-san?" The siblings looked at her.
"I don't mind..."
"The it's settled, let's get going then." She got up and headed to the door.
"Eh? Hayate-senpai, you're going to give us the tour? Aren't you busy?"
"Not right now, since I knew you were coming, I left some space in my schedule to spend some time with you." She smiled.
----------------------------
Heh~ a visit to the RF6 HQ
I'm not that knowledgeable of military stuff, so there might be somethings that are incorrect
Anyway, Hayate likes to pick on Koji everytime she's able, as expected from Yui-chan's "teacher"
Need to get a name for the serie...maybe something following the "S" in both season's names, hmmm...BreakerS?
Sorry, no drawings in this one ... I'm not in a mood to draw right now...
And none of the scenes in it seem to require drawing (but even if they don't, I still draw them....)
<jaw drops> Sorry, thought you were pulling a Kyon w/ the .

In other words, Tais has gained Kha's respect, and imitation is his best complement. Yes I'm wrong! Yay! Never seen this before; I hope I'm not sticking my neck out too far in saying that this looks cute.
@_@
Yeap these Raitobots are Intelligent Devices that can Transform and Unison, hence they call it Combine, at the same time, and Ichimoku being a sword fits to the T, or rather, the C.
I've been waiting to use Subaigar for so long... *cries tears of hotblood*
I wonder if Cardcopter Sakura, the Mode 2 Union level, is too h4xx.
A-NA-TA?!

A little more trivia for you guys:
For those who noticed it, Kha greets everyone by last names, except those who told him to stop. And Fate used to call Kha "Kha-chan" & Kha used "Fate-chan", but the same Valente Four recommended to both of them that after Year 1 of the relationship they should drop the "-chan", thus ending up with the lack of suffix greetings between the both of them.
I'm just waiting for the chance to upgrade Kha to Anata post-StrikerS. Re: Crystal Locust spells and creatures - I smell Nerubians here.
Re: Phantom Army - Amazing... Someone has read the prophesy?! Synchro again...
Re Fall of the Gods - A specifically anti-divine attack... I'm tempted to say that that's one of the few spells that Kha has no defence against, and probably ends up taking more damage than other mages.
Nice! Now if I add spell lists, I'm sooooo split in many places.
OK, so for reference, Kha calls Arcas by his first name, as does Sakura - although she tends to call him "Arc-tan," much to his annoyance.
<raises hand> I volunteer my skills to upgrade Kha/Fate shippiness!

Btw, the Belka Reality Marbles can be Traced, with a lot of effort, but it's possible... 1. And that's way we like it!
Quick questions: Can Arcas possibly have access to one of the remaining places (Tranquility Garden, Golden Throne, Divine Halls)? I do remember you mentioning that he could learn a Reality Marble because of his Device.
And hopefully NxF and Carim dying won't BOTH happen in the series - I could see one, but not the other.
@Everyone: <does best Chandler impression> Oh. My. God.
IS EVERYONE here a guy?! Doesn't ANYONE read shoujo manga?!
<hangs head and sighs>
Alright, I give... Arcas' character model is Sakataki Jin from Tanemura's Time Stranger Kyoko - and therefore, by romantic connection, Mel is Kyoko. I have a pic right here:
Spoiler for Mel:
Mel as her usual self - ignore the text.
Mel dressing up pretty - for a certain Dragonslayer perhaps??
Another OC this time…unlike before, this is short, since a bulk of his history is for AdmiralS and he is more or less inspired from the apparent Spartan-ness of where Nanoha got herself trained at the Air Force.

“There is only one place I belong to."
Austin Gloster Abrams, or just Austin as he prefers friends to call him, at 76 years old, aside from the 3 Admirals, is one of the few TSAB 2nd Generations still in active duty, after Graham's retirement following the medium-scaled dimensional Book of Darkness incident. Born in an era where TSAB was just around its early stages of fully implementing the anti-conventional weaponry stance with the emergence of the 3 Admirals alongside importance of the Ground Center in the establishment, he joined TSAB's Ground Force at 15 years old as an A- Ground Combat mage as a Private. In the years to come, he rose up the ranks to being a Major of the Ground Force. However, due to constant stress from overworking, along with the sheer ridiculousness of implementing a close-combat function of that concept in a time where Mid-childan system of magecraft was still not fully concepted for close-combat in any form whatsoever, in a co-op battle with the Navy and the Air Force during AdmiralS, he pushed himself so bad his Linker Core was severely damaged to the point where he could no longer be considered a mage.
He retired as a front-line officer following that incident, and became a drill instructor instead. However, when his...methods proved to be too much for the less-elite Ground trainee mages, he was transfered over to the Air Force as their drill instructor instead. It was due to his methods and practices that the Air Force's trainers in the current times, practice a very harsh training standards for themselves, and also extremely harsh standards on their officers. (( This is why Viva was..criticized in the reports, and Nanoha talked about the Air Force instructor's Spartan methods. ))
Austin Gloster Abrams, even as a child, all the way to his old age, embodies a single philosophy in life.
"If you're not half-dead, you're still perfectly alive."
He knows little of limits, and is the type to keep pushing himself further, further, further and further. He has very harsh standards for people, but before everything else, he is harsher on himself. Even though he crippled himself in that incident, he never once regretted it and merely considered it a different kind of obstacle to climb over. Thus, due to his hard-biter personality, he cannot accept ever being delegated to being a paper-pusher, and constantly gets himself physically strong and active during trainings of the TSAB recruits. He has a very spartan approach to the things he do, and goes to great lengths to do so, be it forcing the recruits to sleep less than 3 hours everyday, (( he sleeps an hour a day )), attacking the recruits in the middle of the night to test their awareness, impromptu missions following harsh training, non-stop 48 hours training.... And it was said that his 2-days personal training regime for prospects who survived his training with a B+ evaluation from him (( generally, the pass factor is D )) is even harsher and more mentally stricken that all of the several months drill camp put together, which was already toned down for majority's sake.
“There is only one thing you all need to engrave into your hearts… go beyond thou self.”
Although he is very military-minded and strict in such dealings, he's generally sociable when things do not involve the need to be alert 24-7. It's just that very few youngsters and people dare to approach him to know him beyond his evil reputation as a life-sapping evil instructor from hell, while his old friends back from his days are either paper-pushing big shot now who are too busy, retired or dead.
“Even a child can kill with just a knife or a gun. If you think for once you can let your guard down simply because you’re stronger, the enemy’s an old haggard, or whatever reason that lets your ego or opinions go above everything I’ve taught you, then you can expect me to be at your funeral or hospital-bed one day…
And don’t expect me to bring flowers.”
Visual Showcase: Mock-battle with AA- ranked Modern Belka Air Force Lieutenant.
Spoiler:
Although he is no longer a mage, he is still considered to be one of TSAB's very best in hand-to-hand close combat, even after the emergence of Modern Belka. Ever since his retirement as a mage, he went on to improve every other physical aspect of his capabilities, from knife-combat, dirty tricks in fights, close-combat, bodybuilding, everything that would help him keep in edge even if he's no longer a mage. With that, even half a decade later, he is still physically very very very healthy, unlike his other peers, and is still stronger than any mage out there in close-combat, even after they've been boosted by magic.
Kyla: Admiral Abrams? He's the one who taught me the principles of the AX- though i have to make it sound much cleaner than what he says... when I was still in command school- I had to take the fast way and hence he became my Trainer. And another thing... for me it was 1000.

Another Preview:
Spoiler for AlternateS I Side Story: MAR: Midchilda Awakens Romance:
Note: this preview happens after the events of AlternateS I
TSAB Military Airfield, somewhere in Eastern.
"So this is Midchilda huh?" A short-haired blonde girl thought as she descended the steps of the bureau transport. "This looks like nothing is special here... maybe on the outside... well, i did come here for free courtesy of her... so might as well..."
This girl then sees someone waiting for her holding a placard written in plain Japanese
'Arisa-sama'
"Aki!" She then yells out to the one holding the placard.
A person with short straw-brown hair. and only two years older than her- her former maid Aki, who was actually from Midchilda lost on Earth a couple of years ago- and worked in the girl's residence while trying to find any Bureau people to help her get home.
"Wow... you're grown even more beautifully..." the ex-maid greeted with glee. "I'd bet my younger brother will drop his jaw when he sees you..."
"Huh? What did you mean by that?"
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 1:
"Come on in..." the gray-haired woman spoke to the two. "You might be tired and you are soaking wet from the rain..."
Ashton and Subaru could only happily oblige.
"Alicia... get the bath ready, we have guests soaking with rain here. and Linith, add another two plates okay?" the woman further called.
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 2:
"Interesting, you two are able to fuse, even if you and your pledger had not yet done the 'ritual' yet" Cruz, the just revealed Divine Jewel Weapon, the 'Pillars of Support', spoke.
Subaru was now carrying Rinae, Cruz's disabled pledger back to her wheelchair.
"A ritual? I never head of such a thing." Ashton replied. "You mean that ceremony that you did before becoming Rinae's leg weapon?"
"Yes... you're a Divine Weapon and you didn't know that? from what clan are you anyway?"
"My parents tell me that i'm from the Reveries..."
"Reverie... impossible... Lady Metherlance? the ancestor? It's no wonder... you're..."
Back in normal space, Ren sneezes twice.
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 3:
"I can't let Subaru take all of these hits!" Ashton thought as the wall rain of blades headed towards them. "If only i could..."
Then, Subaru began to shimmer a bit and then after a sudden visual vanishing, Ashton appears instead, but wearing Subaru's jacket. Subaru's astral image then appears, wearing Ashton's core jacket.
"What the? what happened? Ashton?"
"Stay there... i'll take care of these..." Ashton then spoke in a determined voice. "And i'll protect you."
Then vents in places in the armor began to open and gather energy- as well as the three devices. then, revolver knuckle then turned into its familiar Buster Arm form and charges. Praesulus also engaged overdrive.
"Take this..." Ashton spoke as the wall closed in, aiming the fully charged weapon.
Hiya guys, sorry for dropping this chunk of Bluecheese but here is my very pathetic attempt at writing a semi-serious "My name is Tais" story.
Spoiler for CSDB observation report:
Snipped
~End CSDB Observation Report~[/SPOILER]I think I need to re edit this at a later date and nerf Tais somewhat. I think I over upgraded him. Hmm... Looking at this chunk of trashly writing, I think I'll stick to slip slap humor. What do you guys think?
Hey hey! That was pretty good! The battle was well described and I was imagining all of it perfectly. All those short stories you gave about Tais before have made this scenario, Tais' battle for pride, even better.
If my prideGinga-neesama was at stake, I would definitely go all the way.
And Tais... you deserve Ginga. As much as I want her for myself--
*is shot*
I hope there's a continuation to this!

This is madness! What a nasty old man. I wonder what Nanoha says about this guy!
And to be stronger than any mage in close-combat, even though they're boosted...

This fits so perfectly into canon... I'm impressed. Very nice, Nighty. I still wonder what Nanoha says about this evil instructor!

Glad you liked it! It was my first time writing anything similar to this (or even imagining such) So surely I'm glad you guys liked it, as the little story left me with a big smile on my face.
Ah, maybe you forgot I mentioned it in episode 02. Not much is known about it right now, though the incident is a tad bit better explained there.
Thanks for reading.

OK, one by one updates are coming A spell list for Mirian:
Spoiler for Combat Capabilities:
Mirian El Meyruun
Device: Kaleidoscope; Full Drive form – Twilight Kaleidoscope; doesn’t use cartridges
Note: Kaleidoscope is augmented with an experimental Multi-Type Summoning system
Auxiliary Spells:
Physical Heal – cures moderate physical wounds, only mildly effective in case of heavy injuries
Revival – restores target person’s physical stamina by sharing that of the user; heals physical wounds, requires continuous usage
Restoration – restores target person’s magical stamina by sharing that of the user; fixes damage to magical circuits, requires continuous usage
Boost Up: Extension – for the next 60 seconds amplifies target person’s magic by influencing “extendable” aspects of the spells, like duration, range, area of effect etc.; the person chooses the aspect to be extended when the spell is cast, but only one at a time
Boost Up: Empower – for the next 60 seconds amplifies target person’s magic by raising all spells’ power by one full rank (i.e. from AAA to S)
Boost Up: Acumen – for the next 60 seconds amplifies target person’s magic by considerably shortening all spells’ casting time
Defensive Spells:
Round Shield – forms a round barrier in the chosen direction, power AAA
Area Protection – forms a protective dome around the chosen area, power AA
Bind Break – attempts to break any binds put on the user, takes more time depending on the bind’s complexity and power
Ruby Shield – (available in Full Drive mode) forms a multi-layer crystalline barrier in the chosen direction, power S
Offensive Spells:
Ruby Splash – shoots a multitude of diamond-shaped projectiles in the chosen direction, power A (each projectile), range A, speed AA
Ruby Flare – summons a crystal above the chosen location which shoots down a powerful energy beam, power AAA, range B, speed B
Ruby Flare Storm – (available in Full Drive mode) same as Ruby Flare but multiple crystals can be summoned at the same time
Summoning Spells:
Note: true form of Mirian’s summoning spells brings events into existence instead of the certain objects; theoretically she’s capable of summoning a limitless variety of events, so far four different spells were observed
Crysalian Locust King – summons a Crysalian Locust King, a rare semi-intelligent insect life form capable of using magic and moreover – feeding on it; despite its name it rather resembles a 20-meter long winged scorpion, surprisingly agile for its size; its body is capable of begetting lesser forms of Crysalian Locusts which support the King and do his bidding; Type – Genesis (green), True Form – Crysalian Locust Plague
Crysalian Locust Plague – (available in Full Drive mode?) refers to the event of the destruction of Crysalian civilization by an assault of magic-devouring locusts, the most fearsome of which were Crysalian Locust Queens – gigantic creatures reaching the height of 500 meters and capable of giving birth to countless Crysalian Locust Kings aside from being high-level magic users; spell never cast in True Form; Type – Genesis (green), Earth (brown), Air (sky blue)
Eternal Mist – summons very thick mist over an area of several kilometers in every direction which prevents anything from being seen from a distance of more then one meter; the mist self-regenerates and has practically no means to be removed against caster’s will; Type – Water (blue), True Form – Eternal Nightfall
Eternal Nightfall – (available in Full Drive mode) reproduces the event of the death of a world’s star; at her current level Mirian can affect maximum space of a cube with a side of 100 square kilometers; the area is covered in complete darkness and filled with icy mist as the temperature starts dropping rapidly, gradually reaching absolute zero; anything staying in the area will be completely frozen, though its boundaries aren’t locked by any barriers; Type – Darkness (black), Water (blue), Air (sky blue), Earth (brown)
Shadow Phantoms – summons 3 shadowy copies of up to 4 targets, obeying the caster but also capable of acting on their own; phantoms retain most of the abilities of the original in case they don’t surpass the level of the caster, otherwise they get toned down accordingly; the copies aren’t illusionary; Type – Darkness (black), True Form – Phantom Army of the Demon Prince
Phantom Army of the Demon Prince – (available in Full Drive mode?) refers to the (future?) event of the confrontation of the Demon Prince with the armies of the Saint Church, seen in the prophecies of many different worlds; the Demon Prince defeats Holy armies using their exact copies in triple numbers in addition to his own forces; spell never cast in True Form; Type – Darkness (black), Chaos (red), Genesis (green), Time (purple), Divinity (gold)
Rain of Sorrow – summons a heavy rain of blood-red liquid over an area of several kilometers in every direction which completely obstructs vision and even hinders movements similar to being drowned in very dense jelly; the rain ignores any magical shields and even barrier jackets; the caster has limited control over the rain’s strength in different areas and its directions; Type – Blood (blood-red), True Form – Fall of the Gods
Fall of the Gods – (available in Full Drive mode?) refers to the (future?) event of the war of the Gods against mortals, also seen in the prophecies of many civilizations; the Gods lose but before their fall make the skies of the world where the final battle takes place rain their blood which burns everything it touches to ashes, including the world’s surface itself, thus bringing death to the victorious armies as well; spell never cast in True Form; Type – Blood (blood-red), Divinity (gold), Air (sky blue), Lightning (yellow), Fire (orange), Time (purple)
I'll update the post with profiles when all OCs will get their lists (and see the comments )

I like the Eternal Nightfall event. Rain of sorrow is just plain cheating!
(Not that Saint X would really mind. He plows through haxx with even more HAXX!)
In any case, I'll be looking forward to more.
(Any chance of the Fall of Gods ever being seen in OCverse?)
Why, indeed, I wonder...
I really like An Hero's creativity. Summoning of events? That's awesome! Very, very creative there. Serge's Flow Manipulation and AO too... The only problem is that all these things fall into the absolutely overpowered category, compared to Nanohaverse standards. I'm not complaining. Though I personally see it hard to involve Serge and his group into canon material without completely breaking it to pieces. No wonder Serge and them are waiting for Scaglietti to make his move without doing anything. If they do anything, the fate of the universe will completely change!
I'm looking forward for your stories, An Hero.

The Types represent the spell's elemental aspects and its general complexity. It will probably get clear as soon as one of the True Form summons is shown in a story.
I'm sure she also has one nasty casting cooldown. Maybe one event per day?
If my Gwendolyn learns how to summon events... HOLY SH--!
But certainly I wont try that. Such level of brokeness is beyond me.

Good thing the OCs with Eternal Tranquility Garden and Uninhibited Golden Throne, or the remaining 3 Eternal Divine Halls, have not been revealed, otherwise I'm gonna have a confusion on my hands.
Btw, the Belka Reality Marbles can be Traced, with a lot of effort, but it's possible... [B]\
I'm more confused about Kha now than I ever was before...
1. Yeah I used some cliches there to get into his head, but this really help! Tanks! Now the last things I've got to ask is
a) any idea what would Austin teach Kha?
b) where does he intend to stop, or how do you think it stops?
c) how Austin's regarding the Kha now, who's still spouting honorable knight-do, but knowing when to stop?
d) how does he take to being quoted over and over?
a. Tactics, basically. Improving raw close-combat skills (( not power )), the mentality to adapt to changes in the battlefield, etc. Basically, his training is one that test the physical and mental limits of someone. Like I said, a full-course training is basically an entire 48-hours without rest, sleep, or eat (( and he demands the trainees not eat at all the day before )), so it's kinda like you survive, you pass.
b. Austin stops once someone survives and passes his training, regardless doing only so-so or damn good. What's important to Austin is what he learned, and whether or not he'll keep it in mind. Other aspects that lacks can always be self-learned in time.
c. Austin Trivia : Although Austin expects those under him during training to respect his mentality, mindset, and philosophy of training during training, he does not force it on them. For all he cares, once his trainees leave his session, he's free to not follow his philosophy, just so long as his trainees understand it. Basically, he's fine with it so long as they understand that there may be times in the future when they'll need it, and they better be ready for it.
d. Depends... I suppose. He's very receptive to opinions. I'm not quite sure what you meant, but if it's in terms of conversation, then he wouldn't mind. He's heard enough things about himself to get a weaker man to roll in their graves laughing.
@Saint X : Abrams never reached Admiral. His highest rank is Major, when he retired from being a mage-commissioned officer at his 20s. After that, he's stayed an NCO Drill Inspector, still a Major, but with no promotions. He's highly respected among his peer and slightly younger generation, but he won't be among the "heroes" of TSAB hailed in the near future, despite being the catalyst to training elite mages.

Well, I wanted to write something about brokeness right now but I'd rather do it inside the story itself (when I get to the background details). So far only AO (full power) is actually broken (as intended), every regular OC isn't almighty or flawless. I wouldn't say that canon characters are no match for them.
Regarding Mirian - note that if in spell's description stands "spell never cast in True Form" it means she or anybody else really never cast it, so it's not even confirmed what effects it would actually have; True Form of the summons isn't something used regularly, or even occasionally - it's more like an estimate of her theoretical capabilities; only Eternal Nightfall was once cast during the test of Kaleidoscope's Full Drive mode.

Actually, I wasnt referring to how your characters would fare against canon characters. I was mostly referring to how the current story would be affected if they are even partially involved. Example, if Scaglietti sends hundreds of drones to attack GC, Mirian alone is capable of almost completely nullifying such attack. That's why I said, no wonder they're waiting on the sidelines.
Again, I'm not complaining. I'm actually really impressed at this summoning of events. Very good job coming up with that!
I'll be looking forward to the story.
Oh, and I'd like to clarify, the "brokeness" I was referring to is if my Gwendolyn, who, you know, has unlimited energy, is able to cast Mirian's event summons. THAT is the broken thing I was talking about, not your character.
I'm fine with him having friends who understand him. I was just giving a generalization...It's boring if there's no interaction, right? Just so long as there's not very many, of course.
And while Austin's persona isn't exactly like that... it's almost alright. His speaking style is less "cliche-drill-instructor" though and is a little more subdued and mellow in style. He's also more serious-to-point, but considering this is a one-on-one training, he has a stronger sense of twisted humor when it comes to personal training..so I made some changes overall to his dialogues.
Spoiler for Blood Session NightengaleD:
...And for the 152nd time that day, Kha found himself flying into pillar of the shaded pavillion by the sandy quadrangle.
His breathing was ragged; he spat blood from his cut lip as the young Cleric pushed himself back onto his feet. His eyes were ablaze with frustration.
"...That... was... low..." He squeezed his sore arm, as if it could force the numbing throb that was bouncing through his mind out.
"Low, you say?" Austin broke his stance.
"...And dishonorable..." Alexei heaved, going through the motions to clear his mind as he was trained by his father.
Austin just laughed, with a ridiculously dry tone, as if mocking him. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Stopping dry at the very end of the laugh, as if not even laughing to begin with, he continued. "That's a good one... if only it didn't start to sound like a broken record, ever since 40 years ago."
He turned to Kha. "I'll ask you again. Do you give up?"
And the boy replied like before, "No."
The big man charged suddenly. Kha had no time to move; the attack to his injured limb flattened out against the pillar, splaying blood out from the spilt cuts. Uncharacteristically, Austin held back from breaking the bone. "Good. Because I don't intend to let you."
"You are a disciplined man... and yet..." Kha ignored the pain as he spoke into the old man's hawk eyes. "I don't understand this. Why?"
Austin smirked. About time someone asked. He stepped back, and the boy peeled off the wall onto his fours.
"Every one of your pussy knight kind I came across, be it strong or weak had spouted the same rubbish ass-down-in-the-drain chicken bull. Some limped, some cried, some stood strong and tall, but for most part, you immature sons-of-bitches mostly mostly wanked out with the same boring crap." Austin continued as Kha got back up chanting scripts to blot out the pain. "That it's meaningless dishonorable, knight's yadayada, 3 finger girl-scout cookie swear."
He paused. The half-naked boy was still bent forward, but he was still listening.
"Put an Bulls before hit and that sums up what I think of you Belkan piece of trashes." Austin barked. " And you know what? Even if it isn't shit of bulls, it's chicken's. For all I care, you maggots can sit down and rock your Saint Bible all day long and recite your girl-scout honor, and it makes no difference to my eyes and you know why?"
Kha shook his head.
"Because if the real world is your perverted mind and your pansy dojo, then you can start hailing me Saint Abrams and my first verse of teaching would be you just got yourself a candyass full of shit."
He pointed to a long stitch that ran down his left arm. "Bartilas, 0055. The 73rd had just landed and opened a foothold for us boys to move in. We went trench to trench, Crossfiring anything that moved. I came across one with only 2 scared recruits asking to surrender."
" It was a all too familiar scene, people cowering in sight of power and a drop of caution in sight of superiority. You must've seen something like this once or twice so don't pretend. So I gave the order to stand down and go PoW, when a third bastard popped up. He blew two of my buddies, and my arm almost, before we took their brains out."
Kha's brows twitched.
"That's right. This is the real world. This ain't the Holyness of Belka, this is the extent of reality. LISTEN HERE, YOU SORRY PIECE OF TRASH! What you want to believe and what the world will eventually feed you will collide one day! One day, you will face yourself. One day, you will see for yourself the world for what it is. The enemies, they don't give a damn...They will sneak, they will cheat and they will not say hello first!"
His voice toned down as he narrowed his gaze. "And what is wrong with that?"
der Kleriker suddenly lashed out in a roundhouse which Austin parried easily, but the momentum of the block spun Kha into a vertical bicycle kick aimed at the buffed man's groin.
There was movement too fast for the eye, and Kha inexplicably found himself spinning uncontrollably through the air before smacking onto skin-biting sand back first, knocking his air out. Kha cringed; he tried to get up; this time however, his body disobeyed.
But Austin was smiling. In fact, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Pull yourself together. What was your name again?"
"Kha..."
"Kha, here, 530am tomorrow. We'll do some real training then."
With that, he walked away.
"Thank you, Sir!" Kha shouted back.
I fixed Austin's dialogue. Note that he's more comical here, since he's only dealing with Kha alone. He wouldn't crack that much jokes when dealing with groups.

c. Austin Trivia : Although Austin expects those under him during training to respect his mentality, mindset, and philosophy of training during training, he does not force it on them. For all he cares, once his trainees leave his session, he's free to not follow his philosophy, just so long as his trainees understand it. Basically, he's fine with it so long as they understand that there may be times in the future when they'll need it, and they better be ready for it.
d. Depends... I suppose. He's very receptive to opinions. I'm not quite sure what you meant, but if it's in terms of conversation, then he wouldn't mind. He's heard enough things about himself to get a weaker man to roll in their graves laughing.
I really like this guy's style! Maybe I can include him as one of the reason of shouta-Aurion's professionalism that led to other's inability to pinpoint his last 'problem' after the Perfect Void incident.(This is to be explained in the final part of Revelations~The Most Important Thing Lost) Would you mind? The old Spectral Enforcers were top elites and trained in all three divisions so that should clear up some inconsistencies. He won't be mentioned, but I'll just make it a point that they knew each other.

Spoiler for Not so Formal Visit - Part 1:
In a road, Maren, Koji and Yui are currently heading to the Riot Force 6 Headquarters.
"I'm surprised...I didn't know Maren-san could drive..." Koji commented, sitting on the passenger's seat.
"But...Isn't Maren-chan a minor? We should be about the same age..." Yui added, sitting on the backseat.
"...Being an Enforcer has it's perks..." She said looking at the road.
"I see..." Koji tittered at her seriousness.
"By the way, why are we going to visit Hayate-chan's Division?" Yui leaned forward.
"Ah...it was about what happened in the day before you transfered to the HQ. Maren and I...well." He scratched his cheek, blushing a little.
"Hmmm" Yui glared at him.
"Ahahaha---" He looked out the window, "The weather's nice isn't it?"
"Onii-chan~ cough it up!" She poked his arm.
"Yui...backseat..." Maren reminded her.
"Oh, sorry..." She sat back.
"Minawa-kun and I were on a date when we got involved in an incident related to the Lost Logia called 'Relic'." She explained it rather calmly.
"What? Onii-chan~~ That's not fair! Going out with another girl when you have me!" She said teasingly.
"EH? D-don't say things like that! It might get interpreted the wrong way!" He looked back at Yui.
Maren sighed...these last few days have been like this one.
The warmth between them remained the same even when they argued, and she knew they were just playing around,
But...their relationship sure is wierd, for siblings...
----------------------------
As they crossed the bridge, they saw the building straight ahead.
Opening a holo-screen, Maren communicates her arrival.
"This is Enforcer Maren of Central HQ, we are now arriving at the parking lot."
"This is Control Officier Assistant, Griffith Lowran, feel free to park anywhere. I'll communicate your arrival to Commander Yagami."
"Understood" She confirmed.
After parking, they left the car and headed for the entrance.
"I know I'm just tagging along, but could you tell me why you're paying a visit to the RF6?"
"Hmm, yeah...we're not her to delieve the Relic since we're not allowed to do that..." Koji gave it some thought.
"We are here to receive thanks from the Commander and also exchange information in case another incident like that happens." Maren explained.
"I see...well, it'll be fun, seeing everyone again." She held onto Koji's arm.
"Y-Yui..." He complained, but then Yui slid her fingers between his.
"Teehee~" She giggled teasingly. "Payback for not telling me that you went on a date with Maren-chan." and winked.
----------------------------
At the entrance, Griffith was waiting for them, and took them to Hayate's office.
They rang the bell. "Yes, please come in." Hayate's voice was heard on the other side.
"Excuse us." They came in and saluted Hayate.
"Enforcer Maren, reporting."
"Private Second Class, Minawa Koji, reporting."
"Private Third Class, Minawa Yui, reporting."
"Ah, welcome." Hayate smiled.
She gets up from her desk and approaches them, "I am the commanding officer of Riot Force 6, Commander Yagami Hayate, pleased to meet you, Enforcer Maren."
"Likewise." She remained in saluting position.
"Don't worry about being formal. And..." She looks at Koji and Yui, "It's been a while, Koji-kun, Yui-chan."
"It sure has, Hayate-senpai." He bowed slightly.
"Hayate-neechan, where's Rein?" Yui looked around looking for her.
"She's with Shari in the lab, analyzing data from the Forwards...
"Oh..." She said a little disappointed.
Hayate walked to the couch, "Shall we go straight to business?" as she sat, she signaled them to sit aswell.
They all sat down and discussed about that day's event, sharing information from the battles.
----------------------------
"I was quite surprised to find out that is was Koji-kun who worked alongside Enforcer Maren to secure the Relic." Hayate commented.
"Well, we just happened to be there...it was mere coincidence." He tittered.
"We were on a date..."
"M-Maren-san??" He said surprised.
"What's wrong? It's what we were doing in the city after all..." Maren reminded him.
"B-but...." He slowly turned is head towards Hayate.
"...Date?" Hayate tilted her head. Silence followed...then looked at Koji, "As expected from Koji-kun! Good Job!" She showed her thumbs up.
"H-Hayate-senpai?" Surprised, he blushed embarrassed.
Hayate then held Maren's hands, "Maren-chan."
"Eh?" Koji didn't even notice Hayate getting next to Maren.
"Koji-kun is a healthy young man, I'm sure he'll be able to fulfill your expectations. I know that from personal experience." She winked at Maren.
Maren simply blinked.
"Hayate-senpai, why are you acting like my mother??" He said surprised, "And what do you mean by 'personal experience'??" He got redder by the second.
Hayate giggles, "Gomen ya, Koji-kun, it's beacause I haven't picked on you in such a long while."
"Ah...Don't worry about that, Hayate-senpai, Yui has been doing your share of pranks too..." He waved his hand assuring her.
Yui hugged him, "Yep, seeing Onii-chan's reaction is fun!" Koji sighed.
"I'm sure she has." Hayate giggled again.
"You know, there's still plenty of room here in the Riot Force 6, and your help would be welcome." She looked at them all.
"I appreciate the offer, but I'll politely decline it..." Maren said, bowing slightly.
"Too bad...how about you two?" She looked at the siblings.
"Eh?" They said in unison.
"W-well, it's quite tempting, but I'm currently working with Maren-san."
"Yeah, me too, I'm helping Onii-chan and Maren-chan too."
"Hmmm, I see, then maybe a tour would change your mind?"
"That would be nice. Right, Yui?" Koji turned to her.
"Yes." Yui nodded.
"Maren-san?" The siblings looked at her.
"I don't mind..."
"The it's settled, let's get going then." She got up and headed to the door.
"Eh? Hayate-senpai, you're going to give us the tour? Aren't you busy?"
"Not right now, since I knew you were coming, I left some space in my schedule to spend some time with you." She smiled.
----------------------------
Heh~ a visit to the RF6 HQ
I'm not that knowledgeable of military stuff, so there might be somethings that are incorrect
Anyway, Hayate likes to pick on Koji everytime she's able, as expected from Yui-chan's "teacher"
Need to get a name for the serie...maybe something following the "S" in both season's names, hmmm...BreakerS?
Sorry, no drawings in this one ... I'm not in a mood to draw right now...
And none of the scenes in it seem to require drawing (but even if they don't, I still draw them....)
Well, see you next time
KOJI YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!!
No wonder Yui is like that. Having Hayate as a teacher.
By the way, what did Hayate mean by personal experience? Was she playfully flirting with Koji a few years ago just to tease him? That'll be a blast to see!
Maren's dense honesty is also good. I waonder what happens if she sees Signum again.

This girl then sees someone waiting for her holding a placard written in plain Japanese
'Arisa-sama'
"Aki!" She then yells out to the one holding the placard.
A person with short straw-brown hair. and only two years older than her- her former maid Aki, who was actually from Midchilda lost on Earth a couple of years ago- and worked in the girl's residence while trying to find any Bureau people to help her get home.
"Wow... you're grown even more beautifully..." the ex-maid greeted with glee. "I'd bet my younger brother will drop his jaw when he sees you..."
"Huh? What did you mean by that?"
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 1:
"Come on in..." the gray-haired woman spoke to the two. "You might be tired and you are soaking wet from the rain..."
Ashton and Subaru could only happily oblige.
"Alicia... get the bath ready, we have guests soaking with rain here. and Linith, add another two plates okay?" the woman further called.
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 2:
"Interesting, you two are able to fuse, even if you and your pledger had not yet done the 'ritual' yet" Cruz, the just revealed Divine Jewel Weapon, the 'Pillars of Support', spoke.
Subaru was now carrying Rinae, Cruz's disabled pledger back to her wheelchair.
"A ritual? I never head of such a thing." Ashton replied. "You mean that ceremony that you did before becoming Rinae's leg weapon?"
"Yes... you're a Divine Weapon and you didn't know that? from what clan are you anyway?"
"My parents tell me that i'm from the Reveries..."
"Reverie... impossible... Lady Metherlance? the ancestor? It's no wonder... you're..."
Back in normal space, Ren sneezes twice.
Spoiler for AlternateS II Side Story: Lost in Elhazard: Snippet 3:
"I can't let Subaru take all of these hits!" Ashton thought as the wall rain of blades headed towards them. "If only i could..."
Then, Subaru began to shimmer a bit and then after a sudden visual vanishing, Ashton appears instead, but wearing Subaru's jacket. Subaru's astral image then appears, wearing Ashton's core jacket.
"What the? what happened? Ashton?"
"Stay there... i'll take care of these..." Ashton then spoke in a determined voice. "And i'll protect you."
Then vents in places in the armor began to open and gather energy- as well as the three devices. then, revolver knuckle then turned into its familiar Buster Arm form and charges. Praesulus also engaged overdrive.
"Take this..." Ashton spoke as the wall closed in, aiming the fully charged weapon.
Elhazared? This is interesting! This happened after defeating a Viscount, right? X-Buster FTW!
@Nighty: Congratz! Austin's an instant sensation, just like Liana was!

@Saint X : Abrams never reached Admiral. His highest rank is Major, when he retired from being a mage-commissioned officer at his 20s. After that, he's stayed an NCO Drill Inspector, still a Major, but with no promotions. He's highly respected among his peer and slightly younger generation, but he won't be among the "heroes" of TSAB hailed in the near future, despite being the catalyst to training elite mages.

Which makes me like the guy already for believing in such a straightforward philosophy 
Was she playfully flirting with Koji a few years ago just to tease him?
