Her nice day would not last long. It felt like a cold shadow ate away the warm light that gently rubbed her face. Now only prickly breaths of air poked her face. She could see him out of her peripheral vision but the feeling would not allow her to just ignore him. So at last, she recognized his presence.
"Gunter... I would say its a blessing to see you but..." A lazy chuckle finished her sentence. The man knew what she would say next so there was no point in continuing. If anything, she would rather save her fiery tongue from his icy presence.
The man however remain as charismatic if not as goofy as he ever was. Well, as he was when her sword wasn't drawn. When her sword was drawn the man appeared to be most uncomfortable. Maybe she should bring it out just to spite him. At last, she decided not to. The man was still stronger than her and who knew where his stupid minion was. Still, she was not about to just take a "Weiner" from the man. She folded her leg before rolling her eyes.
"Pass... I'm not about to eat something you call a 'Wiener'. Sounds filthy and full of fat." She huffed at the last question he asked, "Do I look like a murderer, Heathen? I don't kill people. I free their souls, send them to a better place free of the corruption of this world. And of course, I plan to do so if the opportunity presence itself."
The reason for the man's presence was more valuable than he originally lead on. Apparently, he wanted to make some money, a lot of money at that. He wanted them to partake in the tournament, something Tempris had done a few times before. However, the tourneys she had been involved in were minor at best. So this would be a much more valuable use of her time, even if she had to work with the vampire. "I suppose... Sure."
Tempris jumped down from her ledge, landing gracefully with only one of her hands touching the ground. It did not seem like the vampire was going to lead the way, probably because he did not trust her. She would not blame him, though it was a little disheartening. Her own guild master couldn't trust her to not stab him in the back. She giggled and made her way to the arena. Once inside, he signed them both for the tourney. For some reason, probably because she was still a nobody in these lands, she was not allowed to partake. A mistake if you asked her but rules where rules... that is, when it involves you getting paid. But with the vampire here, she would be allowed to partake. So there was that. Maybe she should be grateful. It would be proper she supposed. She turned to the man to see him stretch and opening his stupid eye. Immediately she changed her mind and made her way to the arena. That eye was just too creepy. Why did it have to exist... especially on a creepy vampire. "Whatever... Just dont run away again."
As they walked into the arena a booming voice called out the the stands. Tempris reached for her blade started but quickly realized it was not a threat. They didn't do this at the lower ranking tournaments, or at least at the ones she partook in. The first thing it did was explain the rules. A bit redundant but whatever. There might be some idiot that did not know what they were watching. The next thing the announcer did was introduce Tempris. New blood they called her. She would disagree but this was the first time she had been in this circuit. She would let it pass for now. What was not acceptable was the laughter from the audience. Like who did they think they were. She gritted her teeth and turned to Gunter. "I hate this place already... We should burn it to the ground." The announcer saved the crowd from Tempris's glare with a last minute addition.
With the comment he made after the ignorant laughter of the audience. Tempris grew a new found liking for the announcer. After all, they weren't completely clueless with their research. It was not the best introduction, but it acceptable. She would give it a C+ and just smile. While looking forward. She did not care about entertaining the audience so she did not bothered to wave. If she was allowed to do anything, she would be setting them on fire. They deserve nothing better for their ignorance.
When Gunter was introduce, well... lets just say Tempris found a tiny bit of forgiveness in her heart. Without delay, the crowd proceeded to boo. Tempris even founding her self booing with her hand covering her mouth. However the little game had to cease and a rain of heretical fruit, eggs, and vegetables. She quickly sidestepped away from the man, knowing if anything got on her, she would probably have to do some cleansing after the whole event. The guild master had a whole record behind him, fitting of a heretical scum. It was nice knowing her feelings for him was validated by the crowd. Still, she was not stupid enough to try and piss off the man so soon. After all, if those feats held any truth to them... then he should be a man to reckon with. Still, they felt the need to test there luck... They were the ones who probably needed Illumin's attention if anything. Still, she held her tongue if only to not further bully the man. She did not want him running away just yet.
Finally, it was time to introduce the enemy faction. Tempris however did not care. All she wanted to do was just prove how stupid the crowd was for laughing at her... for herself of course. It was not like she cared about about their opinions or anything. So as the announcer gave them permission to attack, Tempris went on the attack. Without drawing her sword from her back, she ran at the men with the most heretical outfits. Tempirs would target the one on the left. Her goal was to test the waters for how powerful these men were. As soon as she made enough within range of his weapon, the man slammed down, force Tempris to jump back. The ground roared underneath the weight but she was not worried. If anything she felt like this was something she could easily deal with.
"I hope you dont make me fight them alone Annihilator of Fairy Tail."
With that she scanned the arena one quick time to see what was happening. If Gunter remained still, and the other guy went for her, she would feint another engage in a direction so that both of them couldn't attack her. Then she would kick the weapon back the first one struck hoping to throw him off guard. When the other struck with a vertical, she would hop onto the blade and then run up his arm to kick him in the face before jumping away out of both of their reach. Hopefully now the vampire was coming to help.
If he did come to help or the other guy went for him however, she would just jump on the blade of the one that attacked her and then run up his arm and kick him in the face. This was cause him to loose his balance long enough for her to land behind him and kick him in the back of the leg, forcing the man to fall down.
