章 440: Useless Trinket.
After Reima had cleaned the Diadem he didn't immediately leave the Room of Requirement, instead he starting sifting through everything that looked vaguely valuable. He made sure to store every book he came across as well, knowledge is power after all. Most of the books present were obviously of the darker variety which was useful as Reima already had the popular "light sided" books, however he didn't actually know what he'd do with them, maybe he'd just let them rot in his Folded Space?
Reima had to admit however, there were quite a few pieces of nice furniture around here, though none of them could match up to the giant couch of the gods he's still got stored away... Shame he hadn't gotten a chance to use it yet.
After half a day of wandering around and collecting things he eventually leaves, despite not clearing the room out yet.
Once outside the room he spots Fleur and Ciri who's holding Snuffles with an unamused look on their faces.
Ciri "Was there a point to locking the door?"
Reima nods, turns around and opens the door while thinking of the typical Colosseum scene. The duo + rabbit follow him as he waves them in.
Ciri "You've been here for hours now... Doing something you didn't want us to see?" she asks with a smirk.
Reima shrugs, "You want me to tell you everytime I jerk the gherkin? Perform the five finger knuckle shuffle? The spanking of the monkey?" he says, causing the girls to blush. He laughs at there reaction and shakes his head, "No, really though I was dealing with something involving Voldemort and I wasn't sure if you guys could protect yourself against being possessed..."
Fleur "Possessed? Iz he here in school?" she asks in surprise.
Reima pulls out the Diadem but it seems neither has any idea what it is. "You guys really have no idea what this is?"
They shake their heads.
Reima "Well, that kinda ruins my dramatic reveal... It's Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem by the way, the thing that turns you into a genius if you put it on, or so they say..."
Fleur "Ze Hogwarts founder?"
He nods, "So... Who wants to try it on? I've had a go myself but did't feel anything."
...
Neither says anything and the only person in the room that makes a noise is Snuffles who's nose twitches as she stares at it...
Reima "..." He holds the Diadem up and shakes it as if it's a dog toy, "It makes you a genius... Really?" he asks after they still seem uninterested.
Fleur "Sorry but I am not eager to put on something that was involved a ze Dark Lord" she says.
Ciri shrugs, "It's just not my kinda of thing.."
Reima "Fine. Snuffles you wanna try it?" he say while levitating the rabbit out of Ciri's arms and into his. Without even acknologing her answer he puts the tiara that's a little too big for her head, the rabbit stops for a moment before looking up at him with confusion in her eyes. He feels her rustle and lets go as she transforms back into her vampire form with the Diadem still on her head.
Reima "Feel anything?" he asks.
Nerissa shakes her head, "Hungry."
He feels like throwing his hands in the air in exasperation but instead just releases a solemn sigh, one of the most valuable artifacts in this world and it seems useless. He's feeling pretty indignant that he went to all this effort to cleanse such a piece of junk.
Reima "Fuck it, it's a useless trinket with no value." he states before looking at Nerissa, "Wanna fight?"
A simply nod is all she gives as he hands her Iaito and the duo head towards the middle of the Colosseum with the Diadem still on the young vampires head.
Fleur looks on in interest as she hadn't seen Nerissa actually fight before and that sword she's wielding is giving her a bad feeling. Ciri isn't any different as watching her apprentice improve is always a gratifying feeling.
Reima and Nerissa stand opposite eachother, the former gesturing for her to come at him while the latter gives him a dull look.
Nerissa "Weapon?" she asks as she doesn't see him wielding anything.
Reima "I'll be fine, come."
The vampire doesn't hesitate and immediately leaps towards him, causing the ground to crack under the force she subjected it to. She holds the blade high as if she's about to cut down on him however as she lands in-front of him she feint's and throws a quick flying heel kick to his temple, Reima uses the back of his hand to slap her attack away but this gives her the momentum to continue the attack, she twists Iaito into a reverse grip and attempts to slash him from below. He sides steps it but she combo's it into a stab that brushes past his air as he leans his head to the side.
Fleur's mouth drops when she sees how good a fighter Nerissa truly is, she hadn't expected something like this from someone so young. Her strength and speed were already vastly above her own which is probably due to her race but it's still impressive nonetheless.
Nerissa tries to pull back her blade from the stab but finds it stuck? Looking closer she can see Reima's hair curling around it and letting it go, as if it's acting like another limb.
Reima grins at her reaction as he'd not really had a chance to do much with his hair manipulation ability, his hair was long enough to reach the middle of his back but he always kept it in a bun... Honestly the only way to cut through the crystalline threads now would be through magical means as ordinary blades would struggle to cut a single strand. Even if it was cut he could force it to grow out to the same length in no time at all.
Nerissa isn't out of options however as she abandons her sword and slices her hand past her opposite wrist, causing a large amount of blood to escape and starts moving towards her fingertips, transforming into ruby-like claws which she uses to cut his face. He brings his arm up and channels Armament Haki which causes it to turn black, the claw harmlessly bounces off of his arm as he uses her own sword to stab at her, it approaches her throat and as it's about to end her life he stops it.
Reima "You're improving." he says with a smile.
Nerissa's eye go wide as she takes the Diadem from her head, "Weird."
Reima "What's weird?" he asks, thinking about whether not he'd offended her somehow.
Nerissa points at the Diadem, "Remember."
