Experiment the second - How to fail at human relations, yuri edition

[maocontent]

 [ACTION]

[Mao has... overtaken a classroom. Any and all previous people there have been thoroughly beaten and tossed out, and the place is now filled with lab equipment and various half-finished machines. He figured it was better than trying to do anything via the student council, thanks to Rozalin's advice. But now... what could he do?

He had dashed off due to something that he had noticed from recent goings on--or at least something he thought he noticed, but Mao's never been good about social cues or understanding. He does what he wants.]

So this... mysterious power of yuri. From what I understand, it's a particular subset of this 'love' quantity that I have somewhat grasped. But... what makes it different? It seems that this power has been bestowed on the Konoe's victory to the student council, and that girl protecting the dragon. 

Mwehehehehe, I bet if I could harness this power I could create something TRULY magnificent! Maybe I could make yuri rockets, or yuri lasers--no, GIANT ROBOTS that run on the power of yuri! For science!

Mwaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa!

[Somebody stop him before he does something stupid. Or don't, one of the two.]

[hungry_for_fights]

Yay!

[... yup, this Overlord just said yay]

[... and suddenly has a huge sword in hand, too]

[maocontent]

I see.

[Nothing about the sword says yuri. But then again, Mao's not sure what exactly he's looking for. Best to see how long they can stretch out this battle.

He'll just open up by spiraling off the table he was standing on and aiming a Blast Finger to her feet, smashing the power of the stars in a wide AOE attack.]

[hungry_for_fights]

[The blast roughs her up a bit, but she's unperturbed]

Here I go~

[She charges toward Mao, her sword starting to spark with dark energy before she suddenly stops a small distance away; slamming the weapon into the ground and causing a wave of black energy to fly at her opponent]

[maocontent]

Hn!

[Magic still flaring in his left hand, Mao presses out to block the attack--but dear lord is it powerful, pushing him back a considerable distance and only when he can deflect it does it end. He sends it spiraling off to his left.

Twirling his sword in his right hand, Mao begins his physical counter attack.]

Rrrrauughhh!

[hungry_for_fights]

[Oooh, sword fights! Veluna's favorite!]

[She brings around her own sword to meet Mao's and test her strength against his.]

[Veluna's physical strength stat is obnoxiously high, by the way]

[maocontent]

Hey! That shit's not even fair!

[Mao had amazing physical strength, but he augments his with magic, and as such had to pull it out then to keep her from overwhelming him. Deciding to see if he was faster, he pressed out, and tried to lunge for another weak spot.]

[hungry_for_fights]

Um... did you want me to hold back...?

[Veluna takes the hit like a boss] Ow!

[And... she takes one hand off her sword to punch at Mao. No, this isn't a typical brawling punch, it's actually martial arts trained.]

[maocontent]

No!

[Mao can't get any studies if she takes it easy on him! Besides, he's fought Priere before (and she seems an awful lot like her in a way), he won't give up now.

Unfortunately that punch clocks him in the face. He was very thankful for his tough glasses as he stumbled backwards.] Gggrrrh! [He recovers quickly though.]

You're just full of surprises!

[He throws up his sword.]

So am I.

[Sup Shine Beam attack.]

[hungry_for_fights]

It wouldn't be fun if you weren't~

[While Mao activates Shine Beam attack... Veluna summons a swarm of meteors to come flying down at Mao]

[... of course, this does nothing to protect Veluna from Mao's attack-]

Owowowowow!

[maocontent]

Mwahahaha~

[That's what Mao says BEFORE he notices the meteors screaming towards him. It's an endless layers of attacks from her, isn't it?

He snarls, dodging left, right, up and over them--one smacks him on the side though, and another crashes just over his head, causing him to flip onto his back. He lashes out in a whirlwind of recovery and counterattack, hoping to keep her away long enough to plan his next move.]

[hungry_for_fights]

[She takes a bit to recover from the shine beam herself, so Mao's thrashing about to keep her at bay is unnecessary]

[... but once she's ready she does decide to come at Mao with that ridiculous sword of hers again]

[maocontent]

[Oh hell no. Mao's not going to even try and fight head on with that sword. Instead, he's going to try and flip behind her and unleash a sword slash that way.]

[hungry_for_fights]

[As soon as Mao starts flipping over her... she still swings her sword and smashes it into the ground.]

[Sadly for Mao, that's not all it does. It unleashes an explosion of dark energy centered on herself.]

[Not before Mao's sword hit, though-]

Ow!

[maocontent]

[Again, Mao seems to have a hard time just predicting what the hell her powers do next. The attack hits, but he's send spiraling backwards.

...but yet again, now he sees. As he recovers, this person has lots of power.]

But this is an Overlord's power. It has nothing to do with yuri!

[To burn out his frustration, he'll simply keep rushing her from as many odd angles as he can.]

[hungry_for_fights]

I said I wasn't sure how to use that power...

[Veluna's more than happy to keep the fight going... though she's just going to slam her sword down for another dark explosion if Mao's going to keep trying to use speed to get swipes in on her]

[maocontent]

[Frankly, it does feel good to fight, but it won't do his research any good. Mao stops his speed attacks thanks to her dark explosions, catapults up to the ceiling on one of its bars...

...and just hangs there.]

Hmmmm... I know what's wrong with this picture! You need to draw the power from someone you have yuri feelings for! I can't run tests like this!

[hungry_for_fights]

... well, my wife was brought here, too...

[She doesn't want to end the fight early...]

... ... maybe you're looking for something like this?

[She's a bit reluctant to draw from that particular set of powers, but... well, suddenly, Veluna's using Bound Heart on you now]

[maocontent]

Wife?

[Mao can't really answer that, because now he finds that he's trying not to get eviscerated by hearts. Isn't that...]

You're a succubus?!

[It seemed that the attack did manage to knock him off his perch, and he's forced to land.]

Your yuri powers seem to outdo that student council president. [He swings his sword, unleashing a wave of energy.] I'm impressed!

[hungry_for_fights]

Yeah, I married recently~

[She even has her wedding band on right now, if Mao cares to note]

Half-succubus, I guess? But mama always said I take more after papa.

[Now that she used a succubus power, her succubus wings are indeed visible right now. She doesn't have the horns, though.]

[... this time, she actually makes some effort to defend herself; slamming her sword down once again and causing her dark wave to slam into Mao's own power]

[maocontent]

[Fascinating to learn, really. But Mao's not going to let her know that. Instead he's going to switch up by getting in the air and directing a Shine beam down below him at Veluna. However, his sword is still in his right hand.

The wedding band. No magic is coming from it, but doubtless the sentimental value of it means something! Mao takes mental notes, and continues the fight, though wondering when he can next get more... examples.]

[hungry_for_fights]

[Veluna ... well, it appears she's quite flight capable even while lugging that huge sword.]

[... still, the shine beam does slow her down (and hurt quite a lot!)... but then, once the attack's over, she's heading up towards Mao with that thing poised to strike]

[maocontent]

It's a moment, but Mao angles himself just right.]

Do or die!

[He stops shine beam and lets his magic flow into him. Yeah, he made up this move on the fly more like ripped it off of a video game, but it'll have to work!

He tosses his sword down, only to appear in a blur of illusions, each trying to drive a sword into the other overlord.]

[hungry_for_fights]

Uwah...?!

[Unfortunately for Mao, that dark explosion power Veluna's been using? Doesn't require ground for her to smash her sword into. The sword merely releases the energy on its own when she swings her sword at the air]

[However, Mao did manage to inflict quite a bit of damage, and Veluna crashes unceremoniously into the ground]

[maocontent]

Gauuugh!

[Yet again, Mao messes up in his predictions. Perhaps it's due to him trying to drag on for too long. He too kinda crashes to the ground, still smarting from charging right into those blasts.]

[hungry_for_fights]

[... still, after all that, Veluna pulls herself back up]

This is fun!
