Magical Teacher Professor Landry! - Episode 2: In Polite Company

[Bard The 5th LW]

"All right then," Sean said with a smile, slamming a fist into his open palm, "lets get this start-"

"Stop right there you cheaters!"

No break for the Canadian. Some random girl had appeared and was apparently going to murder Sao, the girl on the swim-team. "Ya'know," Sean said with a forlorn face, "this is what I was out to preclude."

"Take one more step toward the Referee, and I'll cut this girl's throat!"

Sean stopped to think for a moment. He looked at Adeline and the other guy. Adeline looked prepared for battle, and Astarte's boyfriend was also a big guy. He also looked at Astarte. Initial presumption would assume she was a burn victim, but maybe there was more to her? She was at Amaranth, so maybe there was more to her than meets the eye. How fast could they react? The hostage herself may also even be able to fight back.

Sean wasn't the gambling type, but he sorta wanted to speed things up. There was only so much time before ANOTHER person gets stabbed.

---MEANWHILE---

"Better scream."

"Okay, we'll compromise," Sean said, eyes closed and his index finger in the air. "I will not take one step towards the referee. I will take several steps towards the referee. K thanks bye!"

Putting his faith in several strangers, Sean turned tail and ran. Taking sight of the female referee pointed out by Gorgeous, he picked up the speed and flash stepped at her full speed. Recalling some instances of football games in High School, the Canadian's intent was to knock her off her feet and establish a challenge. If she was busy fighting off a tall Japanese-Canadian kid, then she could definitely not oversee a fight. A dislocated shoulder may also make it a difficult task.

Sean definitely wasn't taking out some sort of vendetta against referees.
