Wearing a black polo, his hair tied back into a ponytail away from his face, and wearing a messenger bag slung over his neck and shoulder, behind him, was Matrim. He had gathered up a group of freshman students and was telling them a bit about the school and introducing himself, a sign by the part of the school they met at that read 'Freshman/Transfer Orientation' for newer students. It was already a bit into the quarter but Matrim did want to let the students know some basics about the school.
"Alright Freshmeat," Matrim said as the crowd looked up at him, "And new transfers. Welcome to Public High School number two-five-nine. I hope you enjoy your stay, and that you survive it," Matrim said backing away down the hall, "Now if you'd all follow me I'll take you around campus as I explain what you need to know."
Oh yeah, Matrim's was making this bitch a tour.
"As you all know I'm your School Captain. A title that has to be taken or given, it is not a voted in title. It was won through fighting or passed on when I give it up or graduate, which will be this year."
Hopefully.
"Now then," Matrim would stop in front of the nurses office, "A lot of you will end up here. This school has a lot of fights, and a lot of fighters in it. When in doubt, run here because most people don't disturb the nurses office too much considering it can be a life saver for us all."
"Uhm..."
"Yes, question? What's your name?"
"Jace Fallon, where's the restroom?"
Matrim looked down the hall pointing toward the restroom, "Boys is on the right, ladies is on the left. I suggest you don't get those mixed up unless you think you can outrun the ladies to the nurses office," Matrim would say, "But let's take a moment huh? Who here's new? Are there any questions?"
Matrim would turn one by one through the group and ask people their names saying, "What's your full name?" Since he liked knowing people by more than just their first. He's seen his fair share of similar first names after all.

Why was she on this stupid tour? Oh yeah! Cause the teacher said she had to. Man she hated that guy. But the rest seemed pretty cool. She was not really paying attention to the dude with the ponytail. Rolling her eyes as he called the group Freshmeat. PFT!!! Butthead!!
She would continue with the group, looking around the whole time at the girls that were in the group. Not a single one really looking all that hot. Gods what was wrong with her? She was raised to be a good wife and though she thought guy were okay and had no problem dating one....Girls were just sooo much better!
Then they came to a stop and Astrid would find a wall to lean up against. Letting tall dark and hairy make his way through the group asking names. Oh joy!!!
Soon enough it was her turn and she would let those deep brown eyes go up toward him. Forcing a polite smile onto her lips as she continued to lean back.
"Astrid Sudeki"
There, he had her name. Now he could move on to the rest of the group. Right?

"Astrid Sudeki"
"Alrighty thanks and y--- wait...." His finger went from the new person slowly to Astrid, his finger ending at her nose as the look on his face turned almost comical in it's sense of confusion and awe, "You're...... you couldn't be... I don't believe it. Well, students, today you have the pleasure of having a Sudeki in your midst." Matrim's look of bewilderment would change to that of one of piqued interest or curiosity, "Most likely family with Leon Sudeki, a teacher at this school. Leon Sudeki is one of the best fighters I've known."
He laughed and thought about it, "In fact, talking about the fighting, this is probably one of the people you should look out for. If she's anything like Leon.... That is, if she is related to Leon. So tell me Astrid, am I right in my assumption that you are related to him? If so I'm curious as to how you two are related. You aren't his daughter are you?" He asked, his hands going to his hip.
Man, another Sudeki. And here I thought Leon was one in a million.

That finger in her face got a good swat as her hand came up. Oh great..big and hairy had to go and draw attention to her. Rolling her eyes she would shoot warning glances to the rest of the class. Yeah try it!
Then he kept on...and on...and on.....Ass!!
"He is my Uncle. If you must know. His older brother was my father."
She did not know what the big deal was. Last she checked Spike went to school here and there were a few other Sudeki's floating around. Or at least from what she remembered of her family they were.
Not like she knew really. She had yet to get a meeting with her Uncle so yeah....for all she knew they were the only two here. But then Spike was dating that Katashi clan member...so yeah...he had to be here...She heard too much about him already.
"Whats it to you?"
She had no clue who this guy was other than school captain or some shit like that. Why her last name was of any interest she had no clue.

"Whats it to you?"
"Oh well that's very simple, Astrid," Matrim said, "Me and your Uncle share... well we're a part of the same clan. The same... I don't know how to word it other than your uncle Leon Sudeki is the Lightening Dragon. He was also my teacher, the person who helped make me the fighter I am today. And I, am Matrim Gallagher, the Infernal Dragon." He said, he looked at the group of students, realizing that he wanted to talk more to this girl than to the group. A junior walking by suddenly found himself dragged face to face with Matrim, "You know this school good, right?"
"Uhh... yeah... why?"
"Congratulations you've just been made a tour group leader." He said.
"Okay everyone follow me."
Matrim called out to Astrid, "You, come on. We're going to talk more. So, you just transfer here? Or is this your first year of high school?" He asked. He had a piqued curiosity when it came to Leon and his family. He didn't really know much, he had met spike but that was about it.

Ah another Dragon. Well that was two. So there were how many left? She did not bother to ask as the group moved on........
Except her..of course....
Hearing her name called she would turn back and look at the guy....What was his name again? Oh yeah Matrim! Duh!
Listening to his questions she would cross her arms over her chest as she waited for him to finish.
"This is my first year in high school but I did just move here. Came to train with my Uncle after the Katashi clan murdered my mother and father, his older brother. The elders of the clan sent me here with no information and I am still trying to find him or Spike. I really dont care which at this point."
She shrugged softly as she pulled her bag off her shoulder and set it down onto the ground beside her. Letting those brown eyes fall over the guy before her as she tilted her head lightly. A few blond curls falling down into her face as she did such.
She really was such a pretty little thing. Did not look like the warrior that flowed through her veins. But she had seen that given her last name, people tended to expect great things from her.

"So you want to be a fighter, you want to get stronger and do what exactly?" Matrim asked walking beside her, "I've met both Spike and Leon I'm sure I could help you get a hold of one of them. Pillar's acting as my resources and such. In any case, if you want to become stronger, Leon can train you, Spike could spar with you. That'd be my suggestion since fighting Leon while fun can have it's consequences if he takes it seriously, though I highly doubt he'd go full out on a family member unless they were ready."
Matrim would nod his head toward the door to gesture that he was trying to head outside and wanted her to come along. He wanted to see what she was capable at, what her level was. If it was decent enough even he could train her. Then he realized he had been slacking on that, he needed to train his pillar's. Maybe he'd have a group fight with them or something, maybe make a day out of it where they fought and trained.
"If you want to get stronger I have a fighting club, designed specifically to help people find sparring partners, to learn from other fighters in a decently save environment, and it's school sponsored so it's an extra curricular you can put on your record," Matrim said, "Meet's after school in the gymnasium everyday, all you have to do is dress for the occasion." He said, and would open the door for her to head out.
But first I should test and see where you stand now....

She listened as he spoke of Uncle Leon and of Spike. She knew they both were more than capable of handing her ass to her if they wished. She had never been trained before. Just a few sessions with her father when her mother had not been around. Gods forbid she had seen her precious daughter doing such things!
She continued to move, noting the direction he was headed and figured what the hell? Heh. Finally when he was done speaking she would sigh and shrug softly.
"Well, honestly I have never really trained before. My Father tried to train me when my Mother was not around. But that was not often. See in our family the girls, if strong, are raised with the purpose of being wives and mothers. The only reason an exception has been made for me is due to the fact that my family was murdered by the Katashi clan and the leader of our clan felt that I should take up training under Leon now. So here I am."
She figured this guy wanted a history lesson or else he would not have been talking to her, so there it was. All laid out for him. She did not think she had left anything out. As they headed outside she would push back those golden locks and run her tongue slowly over her lips. She had a feeling what was coming, but she could not be entirely sure. The mention of the fight club having given her a clue.
"The fight club sounds interesting. I should probably look into that. Since I am trying to get in all the training I can before I actually find Uncle Leon."
"So, who are the other Pillars? I have heard some talk but one can never believe what they hear you know. Figure it best to ask the man in charge. Heh."

"So, who are the other Pillars? I have heard some talk but one can never believe what they hear you know. Figure it best to ask the man in charge. Heh."
"Well," He said, "There's Kevala, Mitsukai, and Sara. I'm the only male of the group," He never really thought about that, or said it out loud, but it was actually a true statement, "Kevala's the School Newsletter, Mitsukai is the Varsity Captain, and Sara Quinn is the Student Body President."
Once outside he would walk ahead of her, passing her up a bit and walking out onto the grassy area of the school. He turned and said, "Sorry about your parents. Trust me I know how that goes," He said, "You'd be surprised just how much I can relate to that. And I understand your need for vengeance, to get stronger and to seek out the ones responsible. I was lucky enough to come across the man who murdered my father. He's.. no longer alive."
"Well I guess I'll cut to it," Matrim said, "Come on, kick my ass," He would say waving her on, "I want to see what you got before I bring you around fight club. So bring it!"

She could not, and did not try to surpress that growl at the mention of the name she had become familiar with as of late.
"Kevala? The same Kevala dating Spike?"
She hated that bitch and had yet to even meet her. But she was a Katashi and that was enough for Astrid to despise her with every ounce of her being.
Then he was telling her to come and get him basically. Oh yay! Fight time. She was just irritated enough to do it to. Though she knew this guy was gonna kick her ass. But it would be good practice right?
She would shift her bag off her shoulder, and with a good twist of her wrist she would swing it and release it toward his head, taking that chance to dart forward, her right fist coming out in a jab to his gut, followed by a left to his ribs before she would shift her body and throw her shoulder into him, attempting to at least knock him back.
IF anything connected and she did not get her ass kicked instantly she would bounce back. If not, then she was sure he would have her either in pain or on the ground. But, either way, she was going off what little she knew. No suprise if she SUCKED!!! Though..she thought perhaps she didnt suck too bad. Heh

"Kevala? The same Kevala dating Spike?"
"The one and the same," Matrim repled to that comment almost immediately. She flung a bag at his head for her first move in the fight, Matrim's hand chopping the bag off to the side, Karate style almost, once the bag was out of the way she slugged him in the chest and side and then rammed her shoulder into him. He slid his foot back slightly to keep upright.
"Oh?" He'd say, his arms would wrap around her to hug her close the way she was with her shoulder against his chest, and his knee would raise to ram into her side a few times before he would let go and push her away, "You've got the spirit, I'll give you that and you sure know a bit about it, but how do you take a hit? Try again, bring it!"

ACK!! He caught her and hugged her to him.
EWWW!!!! Stinky male stink!!!
That knee slamming into her side and knocking the wind out of her slightly as she was released and stumbled away slightly. Shaking her head as her hand came up to her ribs for a moment. Long enough to listen to him and then take off again. This throwing a right hook at his jaw and then sending a left knee to his crotch.
She had no trouble playing dirty. Doubting she would make it that far, but either way, she would throw one last elbow to his face using her left arm before she would attempt to bounce back.
Now that is going on the assumption that any of this worked. It was very likely that she would instead end up being beaten on some more. But meh!

She went to knee his crotch, Matrim's own left knee would intercept the blow, catching it and taking the force as she tried to elbow his face with her left arm. His right arm caught the elbow, grabbing down tightly and not intending to let go as his left fist would aim to slam into her left side. Once that worked he'd use his left leg to try and trip her planted foot by pulling back hard against it, keeping a grip on her elbow as she (hopefully) would fall.
If this all worked his left foot would then touch down at the heel, the front of the foot resting against her left side would press down on the spot he punched, "You are trying to get stronger to exact revenge, do you intend to kill the people responsible for you parents deaths?" He'd ask rather sternly, not letting up. He didn't care her answer so much as her devotion to the answer. He wanted to get to the bottom of her intentions to make sure he knew how to train her, who to have her train with.
David would never let her kill anybody, Gabriel would but she might get harmed along the way, Matrim would but it'd really depend on the reasons. Hers were justifiable enough though. So he'd see....

Okay so she ended up on the ground with his foot on her and yeah, it hurt like hell!
Growling as she listened to his question she would draw in a painful breath.
"I wish to kill those responsible yes. Though more than anything I never wish to feel that helpless again. Never feel as powerless as I did the day they came into my home and slaughtered all that was dear to me!"
She struggled to get out from under his foot. Drawing in a deep and painful breath. She had to train...she knew that, but she was a Sudeki and that stood for something. At least in her mind it did. She was capable of great things, it was all a matter of training and learning how to handle herself.

"I wish to kill those responsible yes. Though more than anything I never wish to feel that helpless again. Never feel as powerless as I did the day they came into my home and slaughtered all that was dear to me!"
Well alright then.
Matrim pulled his foot away, "David Blaze is never one for killing people, I'd avoid training with him, or if you do, I'd keep that bit to yourself. Gabriel Seran is good at using others to further his own goals, he'll promise you strength but... in the end I don't think he really delivers. Leon, is by far the greatest teacher I've ever had. He will give you strength, he will set you on your path, and I... I can help." He said, turning toward her, "If Leon is alright with it I'll train you as well, and help to make sure you kill those responsible. Just make sure you're ready to kill someone, it's a lot harder than you think."
Just ask David about that one.
"So, you want power and you don't want to be helpless, that's not all about strength Astrid," Matrim would say changing the subject to the next bit. He'd hold his hand out to help her up to her feet again, "That's all about personality. Even the weak are never helpless. I'm not saying that you could have done something then, what I mean is that you getting them back is showing them that you are anything but some helpless girl who needs saving."
Matrim would let go of her hand once she was up and take a step back, "You've got to show them your a cut throat bitch who doesn't take shit from anybody, regardless of their strength, regardless of their power."
