Upon hearing the Blue Rose's first comment, Fuu rose an eyebrow and scoffed at the taller woman.
"Ehh, I guess I don't." the earth mage shrugged. That alone along with her appearance was enough to let Fuu know that this woman is a noble since being a noble herself, the dwarf was familiar with these sort of people despite not completely acting the same way. Fuu had a strong feeling that this was going to be a pain.
Fuu simply rolled her eyes at the other knight's insect comment as she made her way to that flimsy looking fence.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever makes ya feel special, lady." Fuu waved her hand dismissively at her partner before bringing down the fence. She could sit there arguing with this noble about nonsense...or they could go out there and kick some ass!!!
....If only Fuu remembered what she was suppose to be beating up.
The arrogant lady was now informing Fuu on their mission...while taking a few jabs here and there.
"Wolves huh?" the dwarf's face almost lit up as she heard this, paying the insult no mind. Being the person that she is, Fuu loves herself a good fight, and the more dangerous her foe(s) sounded, the more interested she'd be of course!
"Looks like I picked the right mission then!" The girl gave a challenging grin as she looked forward, hands proudly on her hips.
As the other knight walked over the broken down fence, Fuu followed with a flare in her eyes, always down to get her hands dirty.
Approaching the entrance of the forest, Fuu felt that same uneasiness...but it only pushed her to continue on, fists clenched as she furrowed her brows.
"Here's your last chance to turn tail and run back to that prissy little base of yours." Fuu smirked, glancing over at the taller noble. But it appears that the woman was going to push through which Fuu honestly respected. Watching her walk in simply made the dwarf grin more before following in. Being use to nature, and forests, Fuu wasn't all that bothered once she was inside, looking around her surroundings in amazement instead of fear. The sounds of various wildlife only furthered the dwarf's excitement over the place.
Then the white haired woman had to open her mouth....ruining Fuu's little moment.
"Hmph, well if those wolves start eating you alive, don't even bother to try and call me, fancy pants." Fuu claimed, raising her head up a bit with a small pout, and eyes closed. Of course, Fuu wouldn't let anyone die on her watch since she's still good and all...but she'd be lying if she said it wasn't tempting.
The woman introduced herself, and the moment she uttered her last name, Fuu opened one of her eyes.
"Ravencrest?" Fuu opened her others before crossing her arms, slowly shaking her head.
"Heh, that explains the huge stick up yer butt then." Fuu claimed with a snicker, pointing at Adelaide's rear as if something were there. This wasn't Fuu's first run in with a Ravencrest. Out of all the main noble houses, the Ravencrests always seem to come out as the most arrogant, looking down on others.
"The name's Fuu. Soon to be world's greatest earth mage." And Heiress to House Wilhelm...but she decided to leave that part out for...reasons.
"Thanks for the heads up, Ravencrest..." she said with obvious sarcasm.
....but I doubt anything you do can hurt me." Fuu claimed quite proudly since she prides herself in being a 'wall' though she still has a lot of work to do in that department.
So far things were proceeding quite well...besides the back and forth between these two...
But then the howling had started...
Fuu immediately started to look around with brows furrowed. Her partner then spoke and sped off, gesturing Fuu to follow. With gritted teeth, the girl started to run as well.
"Oi, who died n put you in charge!?"With the duo approaching where the howling was coming from, they would come across a clearing where three animal corpses laid...being eaten by three wolves. The fierce animals didn't seem to notice the mage's presence...until Fuu walked up a little more.
"Oi wolves! We've come to punch your faces in!" The dwarf declared, immediately catching not only the attention of those three wolves...but about nine more that were lurking around the trees, and bushes. One by one they slowly emerged from their hiding spots, growling while staring down the two mages. Fuu looked around, blinking a few times at the blunder she had made...but quickly accepted it and readied herself.
With her terra gloves on, and grimoire now floating beside her, Fuu cracked her knuckles before glancing over to Adelaide.
"I'll take those three in the middle and the three over there." Fuu claimed, gesturing her head towards some of the wolves.
"You can go die to the ones over there." she added, pointing at the other six wolves.
With that, Fuu took one big step, prompting some of the wolves to do the same. Hearing them continue to growl ferociously caused Fuu to do the same...tho it sounded a bit more adorable in comparison. Not wasting anymore time, Fuu ran at six of the wolves who then proceeded to do the same! One of the wolves attempted to pounce at the dwarf, and managed to sink its teeth down onto the woman's arm...but it did nothing (Leather Hide) but made the rowdy dwarf smirk. With one good punch to the underside of its mouth with her free hand, Fuu knocked the wolf off of her before following up with a downward punch using her now freed arm, slamming the wolf to the ground!
"Will of Stone." The girl's grimoire flew open and started to glow, causing the mana of the earth around Fuu to combine with her own, creating a brownish aura around her. Another wolf jumped up and tried sinking its teeth into Fuu's neck, but thanks to her reinforcement, it accomplished nothing. Fuu shook it off of her and delivered two clean punches to its head, knocking it to the ground.
With on time, and quick thinking maneuvers, Fuu was able to avoid getting hurt by the other four wolves while landing two punches to each of them with the use of her terra gloves! The wolves on her side were all on the ground, but by they way they stirred around, it was clear that they weren't finish just yet. Fuu bounced a bit on her feet, showing off her footwork as she kept her guards up.
"Come on, get back up already! I know you pups still have some fight in ya!" The girl taunted before glancing over to where her partner might be...a little curious to see how she was faring.
(6/12 wolves are at half health now)

Description: With her grimoire flipped to the right page, Fuu begins to draw on the mana of the earth around her, merging it with her own mana to strengthen her body to be as tough as stone itself. With this active, Fuu is able to ignore the damage of a single spell or attack of Junior or lower rank per post as well as ignoring the extra effects of damaging spells in general (courtesy of her Tenacious Body perk) once every five posts. If the attacker has +20 power to Fuu's durability then it will only half the spell's rank in damage, but if they have +30 then she will not be able to ignore the spell at all. (Tenacious Body will remain in effect however.)
