Chapter Continues-

"So you are the new member, eh?" A smooth voice asked and they all turned to see Mira standing there with a stoic face.

"Yes. My name is Kagura Mikazuchi." Kagura introduced and Mira nodded in acknowledgement.

"I want to see your magic. Care for a spar?" She asked in the most casual tone she could manage.

"Uh, I'm not sure if it's the norm, but why not?" Kagura agreed and with a nod, both of them moved to the back of the Guildhall, to spar. Unknown to Loke was very excited to watch the match.

"A spar between Mira and the new girl?" Natsu said in excitement.

"Shouldn't we take Masters approval?" Cana asked.

"Why bother? Let him do his work. It's just a spar. Nothing serious." Mira said and when they looked unconvinced, she went to the sober man, who was fully drunk and said something.

He nodded and Mira gave them a victory smile and walked towards them with a skip in her step.

"This calls for bets!" Cana said happily as she started circulating the news around the guild and collecting bets.

All of them moved to the of the hall, where spars generally take place and Loke started explaining the rules as he volunteered to become the proctor of the match and walked up to the middle of them to explain the rules.

"Ladies, the rules are simple. No high-scale damage and if your opponent yields, you win. Do you agree?" He asked in a straight tone, even though he want some much-needed action.

Kagura and Mira nodded. With a chop of his hand, the spar began, everyone, mostly grown men cheering the fight.

"Take Over: Satan Soul," Mira said, changing into her Satan Soul form, getting many cheers from a particularly excited orangette.

"Take Over magic, huh. I didn't fight anyone with that magic. Let's see," Kagura said, drawing her sheathed Archenemy into an attack position.

"Let's see your swords destruction is more powerful than my Satan Soul's," Mira said her demeanour changed from calm to a bloodthirsty one as she charged toward Kagura.

"Gravity Blade," Kagura said, making a gravity-imbued downward slash with her sword towards the incoming Mira. Mira felt an unusual downward force against her, which for a second froze her in place.

This attack is a downgraded version of the original attack which was suggested by Naruto to conserve her magic and focus on the target alone.

Mira struggled for a second and used her Darkness magic Evil shower, continually bathing her body in darkness to escape the effects and continued her charge. Though the bullets fell because of the Gravity, she broke free of the hold.

Testing a hunch, Kagura tried it again and expected Mira to dodge but the Take Over mage took to the skies and escaped the effects completely.

"Heh. It won't work on me twice." Mira said smugly and sent Evil orbs toward Kagura.

"Evil Orb Barrage," she said, sending hundreds of Evil orbs towards Kagura.

Kagura tried slicing them, but after some time, seeing their number not decreasing because of the white-haired woman's relentless barrage, swung her sword in the air.

"Half Moon Slash," she said, sending a wide slash after slash toward Mira and making her dodge her attacks, this affecting the concentration of the darkness magic user and letting Kagura escape.

"You are good. Let's see what you will do when I take it close and personal," Mira said under her breath and charged toward Kagura, her hands crackling with electricity.

As Kagura used one of her Gravity attacks, Mira released the lightning built up in her hand.

"Lightning Magic: Bolt," she said and the bolt moved towards Kagura at lightning speed, which made Kagura unable to dodge the attack. But since her sword is made out of metal, it took the brunt of it. But this gave enough distraction for Mira to enter Kagura's guard and begin her onslaught.

"Explosion Punch," Mira said, gathering magic in her hand, unleashing an explosion when in close contact to Kagura.

Mira followed it with dozen more and though Kagura tried to hold them with the sheathed blade, the power they held was extraordinary and due to the fight being close quarters, it gave her a disadvantage.

"Not much of a hand-to-hand fighter eh," Mira said smugly, her hand charging with more magic.

"Satan Blast," Mira said, extending her arms and creating a swirling, disintegrating, spherical blast and sending it towards Kagura.

Being very close, Kagura can feel the destructive energy the attack held and unsheathed her sword.

"Slash," Kagura said, releasing a long silver arc of magic, releasing enough magic to make all the audience step back.

Both the attacks fought for dominance but Mira's superior strength and experience tore through Kagura's slash but it didn't have enough power to move on and dispersed soon.

"That's good. How old are you again? 13?" Mira asked in appreciation.

"14," Kagura replied stoically.

"You are strong for a 14-year-old. Let's see how strong you are." Mira said with a smirk and charged again.

With Loke

'They are going hard!' Loke cheered like a fangirl in his head. Though he wanted to cheer for Kagura, Mira's enticing magic is disturbing his focus.

Beside him, Macao and Wakaba also had similar thoughts but all of them managed to maintain a curious and neutral looks on the outside to not get kicked out.

"Yeah! Like that! That's a good one!" Natsu cheered on the sidelines, but far from the neutral-faced older men.

"Are you trying to kill me with your cheers? Shut it." Gray said, picking his ear as all the shouting of the fire dragon slayer is too loud.

"As if a brute like you know of anything about fighting," Natsu said, not stopping his cheering.

"What? I should say that. Shut it or I'll plaster it with ice." Gray said, his hands starting to release mist.

"Try th-" their conversation was interrupted by a string pressure in the area and all of them turned to still going spar.
