"I made one step, and people are already boasting that I am some sort of god? I didn't even show off any talent, am I playing with toddlers here or something?"
Jacob asked himself in his head, finding this to be really confusing at the moment at hand. Possibly, the two of them were just trying to make this a big conspiracy against him, but judging from the very over emotional thoughts he was hearing Aureus think, he was doubting it. He gave a smile, and backed up a good few feet so that way he could talk without risk of having his body destoryed. A simple mistake could cause the match, and there for Jacob needed to have distance to quickly change to fight mode if he was suddenly attacked.
"Harsh. Talk about the clashes of the ego."
Jacob said with a chuckle after Aureus had made his little remark back over to Jyo's original statement. This comment was a double edged sword, but he didn't care who was hit by what edge. It would either want them to kill the comentater, or cause them to end up fighting each other instead of Jacob. Both were just fine for him, after all, he could just take care of the left overs if he really needed to.
"I'll just let you'll have some time to settle this out."

Jyo actually smiled at Aureus' comment. "You might be surprised to hear it. But I'm glad you think that way. Most people I know would cringe at such a thought of someone being able to outclass them." he said folding his arms in front of him completely ignoring Jacob's comment. Jyo had made his estimat from observation. By simple movment he could tell the majority of a person's strengths and thought not as easily some of their weaknesess. He didn't think Aureus could match Jacob though. He knew it really. he knew how easily jacob had evaded the attack. But then again mabey the pillar could surprise him. The only real conflict had was Jyo suddenly felt like stepping forward to challenge jacob. It wasn't the fact someone else was fighting him. jyo just had the feeling that he would be at the top of his game today. However if his observations wre correct he wouldn't have to worry about that. jacob would likely be fresh for battle after he and Aurus fought.

Aureus took the boy's snooty comment with a grain of salt. Was his ego big? Not at all, how could it be when he thought he was worth nothing? He just didn't like being interrupted. Watching his opponent intently so he wouldn't be surprised by anything, the Pillar's eyes traced over the Senior. Was he new? Maybe, though he hadn't been around much lately to see the new kids anyway.
Hearing Jyo reply in a level headed tone, Aureus was slightly annoyed by what he said and planned on correcting him. "He probably can outclass me, but that has nothing to do with why I'm fighting, or will, if he ever moves," The schizo responded dryly, hoping the last part would get the boy moving. He hadn't turned all that quickly before, but planned on stepping up his speed just a bit for their next clash.
"Or maybe he only attacks when people's backs are turned..."

"Ouch! That was really hurtful, you know?"
Jacob commented in a sarcastic tone, holding his hands up to his chest like he had just been shot, and then stumbling back a few feet to go along with it. Yes, he was acting like an asshole, and due to his old drama instincts, he tended to over react on some situations, this being one of them. After the few seconds, he'd let his arms drop, and go back to looking at him with a nice little smirk on his face.
"Makes you wonder what will happen next time you turn your back on me? Maybe this time I'll go for your ass instead of your head."
With that, Jacob would give a nice little wink right after, and then would give this guy another chance to respond. He wasn't that big of a conversation hog, he made a few comments, and then bam! Now it was the other guy's turn, Jacob would take mental notes like a good social student, and would then react accordingly. To be honest though, his urge to fight was destroyed when Jyo came, after all, his offensive mood was completely destroyed. After all, he can't just go for another attack, then it seems rehearsed, it just isn't the same as a starting move that comes unpredictably.

This scene was sure getting climatic. But Keith couldn't help himself. He couldn't look away. All he could do was calmly observe and analyze the situation. That was all he could do. Keith watched the three other individuals carefully and tried his best to observe everything. It felt as if they were in some sort of Mexican stand off. But without the guns.
Like in one of the last scenes of Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino. Keith pictured in my head that Aureus was the wounded undercover officer aiming at that senior in turn the senior would be aiming at the other individual. And Keith would be the cameraman filming everything. He was mentally filming and picturing everything.
The tension was climbing and escalating. It was getting pretty climatic. Keith could only observe what could possibly happen next.

The Sophomore couldn't help but crack a smile at the Senior's theatrics. This guy really didn't seem to be the fighting type. More of an attention whore. All of his mannerisms gave it away. He seemed the most content when he was stirring up drama, and had actually seemed kinda annoyed when Jyo interrupted. It was just some useful information to note, nothing of much consequence at the time.
It was around that time that an idea for his next attack occured to Aureus. Because of his side step to the right, the Senior had placed himself close to the lockers. When he stumbled back dramatically, he positioned himself right next to one that was hanging slightly open, the top locker that is. It was interesting, and the Pillar planned to use it to his full advantage. There was only a small chance of it working out though.
Around the time Jacob was speaking his last sentence, Aureus walked casually in a half circle so that the boy was right between him and the lockers. "Is that so? Maybe this time I'll break your arm," he barked back with a smile of his own. He knew the Senior would take the challenge well, and the drama of it would entice him. For a few seconds he remained silent, as if waiting for a reply. Then he would suddenly charge forward in an attempt to tackle Jacob, his speed considerably faster compared to before. From there it all depended on what the transfer did. Hopefully it would play into the Pillar's hand.

Reaching his arms out in what seemed to be a stretch, Jacob began to comment on what Aureus had just said.
"Oh, is tha-"
Actually, Jacob forced himself to cut off, he already knew what this guy was doing, and had planned to make good use of what was going on. There was people observing this fight, and usually they gathered around the lockers too, thus Jacob already had the perfect plan to stop this guy from getting his way. Quickly letting his already stretched arm grab onto a limb of a girl, Jacob would forcefully tug onto the arm of the innocent girl who was watching, and she would let out a sudden shriek. Jacob would then quickly and forcefully push her right toward Aureus without much more warning, and then Aureus would have a new focus: Not colliding with the girl. Of course, since it was so sudden, that might be tough, but he could do it, though it might prove to be more time consuming. Either way, it would definitely throw Aureus off course.
Being able to read mind had high advantages, plans never worked against Jacob, ever. Luckily, all it looked like was that Jacob was a dirty player, and for now, Jacob wanted to see how the whole girl dodging thing would go. It all depended on that for his next course of action on how Jacob would be manuevering around. Though right now he was planning on rotating to where he would be nice and center, having his back face the long ways direction of the hallway, where lockers would not be a threat at all.

Sneaky bastard! Aureus shouted mentally, knowing his plan was fucked when he saw his opponent reach for a member of the crowd surrounding them. He was already in the process of trying to slow down when the girl was pushed right into him. Luckily he had slowed just enough to grab the girl in a hug and spin them 180 degrees, his back caving in the locker. Screaming through the whole ordeal, she ran off as soon as they came to a stop.
Pushing himself out of the locker, the Pillar turned to Jacob. "Oh so that's how it is, eh?" The teen inquired, annoyed by the Senior's lack of honor. But what was honor in battle anymore? Just a forgotten memory. You did what it took to win, else you'd end up on the floor. "You're pretty boring, ya know?" He taunted, his face empty of much expression. Aureus would wait for him to attack, as to get a better measure of how he fought, aside from like a coward.

The whole plan to get away from the lockers was completely forgotten when he caught sight on what Aureus was doing. The hug motion completely changed his ideals on what he wanted to go on, and there for he let Aureus pass right by him, only side stepping from the bodies. After that, Jacob sent a hard side kick right toward his opponent, but wait! It wouldn't hit would it, he seemed to have a sheild! That was too bad because it would make it where it slammed hard into the back of the girl, and also forcefully slam Aureus harshly into the lockers instead of causing him to lightly halt into them. Also, the girl would instantly be made unconcious from Jacob's attack, but that wasn't too big a problem at the moment.
Anyways, that would ruin Aureus's original plan of easily getting out of that, but yes, he would for the most part remain pretty healthy all the same. The thing that would be messing with him the most after that display if it worked, which it should since it all ran smoothly together would be the mental thoughts that would come with it. Some people took it one way, other people took it another, but this seemed like the kind of guy it would make a big impact for.
Jacob was just going to wait to see how things went after this little action of his, but yes, he was ready to continue on with the offensive at any sign of weakness he would see.

Alright, so things had gone semi-smoothly for the most part, but the kicker came when the Senior slammed his foot into the poor girl's back. Feeling her go limp against him, a scowl swept over the Pillar's face. Temper, temper. Stay in control, he's baiting you. Stop acting on impulse. Mmm. The schizo thought as he looked from Jacob over to the rest of the crowd. "Hey, you!" He called to a fellow Sophomore. "Take this girl to the nurse, make sure she's alright," He instructed the boy, sparing a few glances toward his opponent whilst handing the girl off.
Once she was out of the way, Aureus would step away from the lockers and stop in the middle of the hallway, facing the transfer. "If she's hurt, I'll make sure you are too. This is between you and me, so stop trying to involve innocent students. How 'bout we head out to the court yard, drama queen?" The schizo said, keeping himself in check. Outside there would be more room to fight, more physical objects to implement, and less chance of other people being hurt. It was strange though, as he noticed Jyo had disappeared. Oh well...

After the attack, Jacob's right hand quickly went into his pocket, and then rushed out, his right fist clinched around an object when he took it out of the pocket. It was then he saw what Aureus was doing, and quickly decided to take action against it. He was going to make sure that Aureus was enlightened on what he was truly deailing with.
Watching the boy begin to go off with the girl, Jacob only gave a grin, Aureus wasn't the only guy who could command students to do his bidding.
"Wayne, Jared, stop them, and make sure that the play they will both be going is the hospital!"
This would cut off any other action the pillar might do, and soon two students at the end of the crowd would quickly rush off following the guy's trail. Even if the other student tried to run, he would be out ran instantly due to the girl's pace, and would soon be pounced upon. Before Aureus could do anything else if he tried, Jacob would be charging right toward him, the distance already being closed. The attack lashing out would be Jacob's left arm aimed at Aureus's right shoulder. This was the direction the other students were running off too, just for safety percausions and the such.
The punch was going to be stopped right at Aureus's right shoulder, also very loosely made. It was more of a feint if anything, and Jacob was far prepared to modify his attack in any way in case Aureus jumped the gun and went for an early counter himself.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Who the hell is this guy that he has so much sway? Aureus wondered as he heard the Senior bark the order. The incentive and follow up to this action were obvious. Jacob was taking another shot at his conscience as a way to distract or frustrate him before resuming the fight. It was an intelligent tactic, too bad it wouldn't work. With a sigh the Pillar accepted what would happen to the two students, made a note to track down their attackers, and visit them when he could. By this time the sound of the Senior charging reached his ears, just as he expected.
The fact remained that Aureus still wasn't too sure about how this kid fought, other than underhandedly. That being the case, he resolved to stay on defense for a while. The boy's current attack was easily read, and the Pillar had no trouble keeping up. Taking a large step back and to the right, he kept himself out of the punch's range. In addition he began circling, counter clockwise of course, to force Jacob to move.

Quickly shuffling his feet by taking a diagonal step with his left leg, Jacob was quickly and easily back to facing Aureus face to face in striking range. Due to his attack being a feint in the first place, that meant he could easily keep on him without having to worry about recovery time. Again, Jacob would go for yet another left punch, his right arm going right over his left shoulder while he goes for a hook motion right toward Aureus's face. A very awkward like attack, but Jacob was a weird person. The confidence was still booming in Jacob's eyes, almost like he thought he was winning, and the smirk remained clear on his face at the moment.

I've observed more than enough...
It seemed that the situation might be getting more out of control. It was time for Keith to make his leave since the other person disappeared just like that.
"Wayne, Jared, stop them, and make sure that the play they will both be going is the hospital!"
Keith could only shake his head hearing this person bark out an order for two of his "henchmen" to go out and attack the pillar just as he was about to leave. Of course Keith would jump in, but this wasn't his fight. The senior could only sigh and walk off an in opposite direction.
What an arrogant ass...
Soon as Keith was about to walk off, he noticed the two henchman run after the boy and the girl that tried to leave. Out of good conscience, Keith couldn't allow that boy to get attacked. Least he found one thing he could do.
Using his speed, Keith rushed in the direction of Wayne and Jared. He would have to cut those two boys off before they could intercept the boy and that girl. In this case, Aureus can focus on fighting that other person.
"Sorry, I can't allow you to use such underhanded tactics," Keith directed towards Aureus' opponent. He then added with sarcasm, "it takes a lotta guts to use such low and disgusting tactics."
Here goes for starting fresh...

Jacob recovered and the dance continued. Taking another small step back on his right leg, Aureus bent low to avoid the punch while raising his left arm just in case his opponent had expected that. If not he would keep his weight on his right leg and sent a quick side kick to the boy's right knee with his left.
Barely paying attention, the schizo barely caught wind of what a member of the crowd was saying. It seemed he had taken it upon himself to protect the boy carrying the injured girl. Well at least not everyone around here's an asshole. He thought, eyes till locked on Jacob.
