Before she even bothered with the dummy, she watched everybody else's approach to it.
First off was the guy from earlier, the first one to enter the classroom. He walked up to the target and struck it with his sword, and watched in disbelief as it regenerated.
So it was a self regenerating dummy. That was new. Arcen quite liked the idea of something she could attack without the fear of breaking it and ruining all of the fun.
So now the man started striking rapidly but precisely, striking essential parts of the body to disable the opponent altogether. He then took his blade and sliced it through the artificial spine of the dummy, severed it into two pieces, and delivered a devastating roundhouse kick, knocking the top half quite a distance away.
Arcen took note that he was quite powerful, almost as if he himself was a weapon.
Next was some other Faunus girl, presumably a fox like herself. She ran up to the dummy, performing an elegant series of dance like motions with two blade like fans. This battle strategy was quite similar to how Arcen preffered to fight.
Arcen was decently impressed, until this girl also discovered the dummy self regenerated. It all just went downhill from there.
She did slower moves, seemingly trying to cut off any regrowth, but instead, it grew back around her fans. The girl was seemingly freaked out by this, panicking, and using what looked like some form of glyph, which sent her flying backwards across the room.
On to the next one, she supposed.
A different man had walked in, taking his place beside her. She took absolutely no note of this, nor did she honestly care. He'd had some ordeal with the teacher earlier, who she also did not care about.
He practically destroyed the dummy, and also made quite the large crater.
And finally, Arcen had noticed quite the tall girl come in, being made even taller by a big metal exosuit. Not something she saw everyday, she must admit.
Arcen assumed it was for power purposes only, but she did question why she was in it this whole time. Maybe she needed it or something? She didn't know.
This girl typed some things into a screen of some sort, and a pack on her back split apart, simultaneously revealing and releasing a pair of.... Warheads? Really?
Arcen watched as the dummy was literally eviscerated by the explosions. If she had any emotions left she might have found that surprising. But no, instead, she just stared blankly at it.
Note: Do not get the girl in the exosuit mad.
Out of the corner of her left eye, -the only one that actually worked-, she saw the teacher glaring at her. What, did she not know to observe the competition before competing herself? Well, judging by her actions and her posture in general, she looked quite stuck up and self centered individual.
Well whatever, not like it mattered.
Anyways....
Now, it was Arcen's turn. If there was a way she could disable this dummies ability to regenerate without utterly obliterating it, Arcen would be the one to find it.
Arcen took a step forward, a small halfhearted grin forming on her face as she stalked towards the dummy. About half of the distance there, Arcen raised her arms up into a fighting stance, almost making a triangle with her forearms before throwing them back down to their original positions, feeling the tingly cold metal sensation that was her gauntlets creeping down her arms, before stopping at her wrists; All without breaking stride.
Making her way up to the dummy, Arcen took her right hand back, driving it forward into a semi decent punch to the middle of it's chest. Although it looked powerful, that wasn't the point.
She held her hand there, looking down at it, and looking back to to the dummy's 'face', the small grin on her mouth growing even larger in size, and especially growing in how disturbing it was.
With a small flick of her right wrist, four foot long claws shot out from their metal restraints, completely impaling the dummy. She then twisted her hand so that her palm was facing up, and then proceeding on to drag her hand up through the dummy, before allowing it to rocket out of the top and through the head of it.
Just like she had expected, it regenerated.
Unsheathing her other claws, she began to go to work.
Arcen began performing a beautiful series of elegant and well placed strikes and slashes, draggin her claws across every single square inch of the dummy. She swiftly slashed at the dummie's throat, weakening it, before bending her body nearly to 90 degrees away from it, balancing on her left leg while she lifted up her right one.
Arcen heard the satisfying whir of powerful hydraulics as she curled her leg up into her body, before allowing it to rocket forward, completely severing the dummies head from the rest of it's body.
She wasn't quite satisfied with this yet, and a sick idea came into her mind as she watched a fly land on where the dummies head would be.
Arcen allowed herself to begin glowing, that same evil grin growing even larger.
She lifted her right hand up once more, sheathing both her claws as she curled up her hand into a fist, extending her index finger out in a pointing motion, and pushing out her arm to poke the dummy directly in the chest.
Arcen watched in satisfaction as the distorted ocean blue bubble expanded rapidly, sending the dummy flying away at a speed of 80+ kilometers per hour.
Realising her quite blaitantly obvious mistake, she looked to either side of her. The bubble expanded out rapidly five meters in every direction....
And a few of her fellow students were within that distance....
At least the dummies were a good two meters or so apart.
Her grin faded, reverting back to the normal expressionless and dead face she always had. Arcen stared to either side of her, tilting her head while her ears twitched back and forth, side to side, right and left, surveying the damage she kind of hoped she didn't cause. Sure, she found it very entertaining that she had probably just sent everybody into a wall, but she didn't really feel like not expressing emotion towards the teacher yelling at her. Too much work.
Action: Arcen uses her semblance to fling the dummy across the room.: -10 Aura.
