7 Battle in Rain

The next day, it was raining hard. Orion walked to his college under the umbrella careful from getting himself wet in the morning.

On the campus, he can already see rows of cars standing there. He walked past them into the dormitory building for the boys.

After walking upstairs, he directly entered room number 517. It was the room of Ike along with his roommate from computer major.

Both of them were quite compatible with each other as one was always on his laptop watching anime or some tv-series while the other was busy making his assignments.

As expected, at this hour his roommate was already out somewhere in the college while this idiot was still sleeping here.

Since it was quite common for Orion to visit his room, he was already familiar with all the places. He hung his umbrella on the drying stand and picked up a pillow that was lying on the floor.

After taking careful aim, he threw it onto the face of Ike accurately delivering the impact. Ike woke up in horror and after realizing it was Orion, he again lied down.

"Let me sleep!"

"It's eight-thirty! Wake up, class in half an hour."

He buried his face under the pillow and replied,

"Today it is raining. I think I am going to bunk today. "

Orion tried to drag his blanket but Ike had secured it under his feet tightly.

Orion was about to go, leaving him here. Then suddenly Ike sat up.

Orion was stunned by his abrupt action.

"Hey, why don't we mass bunk today?"

Orion shakes his head while exiting the door replies,

"Today is combined class for English "

Ike was confused at first. Then suddenly the picture of the girl from Accounts came into his mind. He had a super crush on her but sadly she was way out of his league.

But combined class means he could at least see her again.

Orion waited outside for twenty minutes. In the twenty-first minute picked his bag and started walking towards his class. When he suddenly heard the sound of someone running from behind him.

He smirked and turned back to see Ike with wet hair and one shoe in his hand, the other on his foot running down the stairs.

He quickly put up the shoes and breathed after reaching beside him. Orion slapped him on the shoulder,

"Let's go "

In the other corner of the city, the atmosphere was damp due to constant rain. It was literally raining cats and dogs here.

A large man with a hat on his head was walking on the lonely street while getting soaked in the rain. He strolled for a few minutes and upon reaching a dead-end, he slowly turned back.

He lifted his hat to reveal his bald head and familiar fat face. Surprisingly, it was the man who met Orion in the hotel lobby.

"Come on, we can settle here I guess. What do you want?"

A man appeared from the side valley. He was wearing a jacket and shirt which were wet in this rain.

" 'Kyonji' - A threat level Conjurer from the Ouroboros. Why are you here in this city? "

"So, what? I can't even visit cities now. Your colleagues were attacking me a few days back, that eagle wings and a woman.

While I did nothing yet, why are you after me?"

" 'Yet' word implies your intention. You have to come with us to the organization for further investigation. "

"Come on give me a break! You are taking me without any crime. "

"This is called prevention, Mr. Kyonji. You are a member of a terrorist…"

"Don't rant on me like that, Bring it on if you want to capture me."

The man lifted his hand brought them together, such that his fingers were interlocked with each other,

"As you wish "

A wave of unseen energy passed through the atmosphere. After that, both of them were still there standing.

It looked like nothing changed but in reality, both of them entered into

A temporary mirror dimension to battle with each other.

This dimension is temporarily made into space with the same coordinates as earth therefore everything here is a copy of something from the real world.

This is called an interim facet world, it is one of the most basic things taught to mages and conjurers. They generally create these temporary places where only magical beings can enter. To avoid harming civilians as well as common property.

Everything here is the same as the real world. The buildings, roads, offices, trees, etc. Everything non-living can be copied into the world and damage to any of these does not affect the real ones.

Thus from ancient times, after the great rule convention of gods and entities. Mages and Conjurers from all over the world had to follow the rule of preventing their best to avoid damage to common people.

" My name is Tred, the inspector mage. "

He said as he lifted his hand in the air. Within his hand, a vague shape of air began to materialize.

" I didn't demand your name"

Kyonji replied as he threw his hat on the ground. He took a battle stance, his feet almost sank in the concrete with the force he was generating from them.

Tred leaped high in the air and threw the ball-shaped air he was holding in his hand. This was his expertise of spell -Aeromancy.

The condensed ball of air broke the speed of sound attacking towards the Kyonji who punched it in response.

The ball collided with his strong first and exploded. Instead of disappearing, it blasted super energy airwaves blasting Kyonji into the wall.

He was thrown out with so much force that he consecutively broke three cemented walls of the house to stop himself from further falling back.

Kyonji walked out of the office wall debris in which he was smashed, coughing out dust.

Tred walked calmly towards him,

"We know your file. Thus I am specially sent here to restrain you. Conjurers like you don't stand a chance in front of a mage like me, especially someone who already knows about you.

So stop resisting, and come with me by placing your print on the scroll of the arrest. "

He threw a tube-like item towards him which landed just on his feet.

He finally finished coughing out all the dust and then rolled his eyes hard.

'These mages and their terrible superiority complex ' he thought in his head.

Kyonji lifted his foot and smashed that tube into smithereens.

"Oh, how much do you know about me?"

In a blink, He immediately appeared just a few inches before him, with his punch coming at full force towards the face of Tred who's pupils dilated in extreme shock.

"Teleport! No, it was super speed. This guy is.....

I am dead if I took this punch. I have some spells engraved for protection that are above human body standards, but still I can't take on three tons of raw force. " thought Tred immediately. His brain overworking at intense speed to save his life.

He used his mind to power the spell of partial vacuum below his feet with all his might, sucking all air from that place. Simultaneously he bent his body downwards to dodge that punch.

The partial vacuum increased his bending speed with a huge margin as his body was sucked towards it. The punch just went a few inches above his face and the air current of that punch collided directly with his face.

Tred with the collision of just air was smashed down on the floor with force, making cracks on the floor. He quickly moved himself outside of his range and breathed in relief.

" What happened? I thought you were prepared." Grinned Kyonji.

'This is going to be hard ' thought Tred.

"Just Miscalculated, But you are making yourself a much bigger target by showing your destructive capabilities.

Watch out I will now fight without any restraints….."

He checked his body finding difficulty breathing, indicating cracks in his ribs which were hurting like hell.
