Test fights [12]

"You heard me.", I said. "They want me too.". She just looked at me, terrified. "Y-You're strong enough to face them, right?", she asked scaredly. I just smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think so.", I answered.

We walked to the next class, practical magic classes. Mr. Blake greeted each student like always. "So. Today we will do something that we have never done before. We will have a 3vs3 fight. There will be 8 groups. Is there anyone who wants to pick the groups?", he said. A few students came upfront but I stayed behind. "How about you, Jin?", Mr. Blake asked. "I don't wan-", I muttered. "You pick too. That means we have a leader for each group, start picking.", Mr. Blake continued.

I was the second one to choose, Emilia got chosen by the first person, meaning I would have to fight against her. She stared at me sadly and reluctantly walked to the kid, he had a disgusting grin and looked at me, his grin said more than a thousand words. I took a sword fighter and a wind mage.

The first group was mine vs the group of the guy, Lucas Walker. We disputed the people we each attacked. I was going against him. I purposly put the wind mage against Emilia, who was a lightning mage. 

I walked in circles around Lucas, not moving my eyes of him. He just stared back at me. "Mad that I took your girl?", he said with that same disgusting grin, that grin I would remove from his face shortly. "My girl? Please, we're just friends. I don't care about that shit.", I said with a perfectly calm face. He scoffed at me, realizing his attempt to enrage me failed. Lucas was a fire mage, me used the same thing as rowan, he used his magic to make a weapon out of it. He made a normal sword that was just out of flames. He rushed at me but I simply dodged and punched him in his stomach, I put a bit of force behind it so that he would fly away. His grin turned into anger as he did wall jumps from trees, speeding up and then used fire magic and gathered it under his feet. "BURST STEP!", he screamed. Time seemed to slow for me as my mind raced. I couldn't dodge, nor could I deflect a blade made of fire. I could use Shadow step... but the casting time was too long, I had approximately 0.3 seconds, the casting time is 0.5 seconds. He approached further and further as my mind raced with possibilities. I had only one choice: use the console. "Enhancement... speed.", I thought and the console picked it up. It showed a quick "Approved". I bent my back and slid under his blade, then jumped up against a tree, propelled myself forward and hit him in the back of the head with my fist, making him slump to the ground. "What's wrong? Why so weak?", he asked. "Nah, you're just not worthy enough to be defeated by my magic.", I spoke coldly. He just glared at me, turned around and lunger at me, though I was faster, I caught his arm and threw him into a tree. "By the way... weak you say?", I glared down at him, he just laughed. "I will try something I have never tried.", I added, his eyes go wide as I focused a ball of blue fire in my hand. "I...IMPOSSIBLE! BLUE FIRE!", he screamed out. "YOU WERE ONLY ABLE TO USE NORMAL FIRE! HOW BLUE FIRE!", he continued to scream. I started forming the ball into something resembling a hilt, then made a blade. I had completed a blade of blue fire. I jumped back a little. "H-HEY!... what... WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THAT?", he asked. I lept into the air and chanted out, "Phoenix... strike." "HEY HEY, I GIVE UP, I GIVE UPP!!", he screamed out. I flew down into the ground, I hit the ground and the blue flames went into the ground as a barrier appeared around him. The whole ground in a 10 meter radius exploded in blue flames, the whole ground was burning but he was safe. Mr. Blake rushed in and put me in a headlock and pinned me to the ground. I made my sword go away.

"You have gone too far, Kid. This fight is over, you won.", Mr. Blake said. Lucas was just crying, he almost pissed his pants, he started to scream as medical personnel rushed towards him. "How's Emilia doing?", I asked. "What? She... she won the fight.", he sighed. "And my other teammate?", I continued. "It's a difficult situation. The opposing mage shot a fireball, he parried and sent it back, in the end they both got injured so it's kinda a tie.", he said. I nodded in approval. He helped me up and walked with me to the platform.

I sat down next to Emilia as the other kids fought. It was now her turn again against another team. She stood up and looked at me once again. "Be sure to watch, I'll make sure you enjoy it.", she said while having a sweet smile. I smiled back, "I hope you do, Emilia.". With that she entered the giant arena that we watched using magical cameras which were placed all around the arena. Her opponent was a water mage. He was quite strong and I didn't know if she could take him on.

The fight began, Emilia sent out a few bolts of lightining then ran into the area to hide and launch a secret attack. The guy casted a barrier out of water around himself. Emilia came out of hiding, lightining sourrounded her. "I see... this barrier is quite strong... I'll try to pierce it with one spell... an adept class spell.", she said. She stood in a stance and closed her eyes, she gathered all her mana in her hand. "Lightning, forge my lance and strike true.", a lance of lightining appeared in her hand, she threw it straight at the barrier, the mage quickly focused the whole barrier on the one spot but in the meanwhile Emilia just made a few simple orbs of lightining that didn't even need a chant. They shot at the enemy and paralyzed him. She rushed over to him and took out her knife. The guy gave up and she was full of joy.

I felt a weird change in mana, something or someone strong was here, in the arena, it was closing in to Emilia fast. I jumped off the platform and rushed over to her, I used shadow step to be infront of her, I then pushed her to the side as cultists rushed the whole arena, Mr. Blake came down too and came to me. "Fucking cultists...", I said. "I sense about 3. I should be able to take care of them.", I added as I formed my flame sword again. I walked at the 3, though they were all focusing their mana into the middle one, he was preparing a master class spell. "A... master class huh?", I said, they all laughed and smirked. "YOU'RE GONNA GET BLOWN AWAY, KID!", he said while laughing. "Nah, I just find it kinda disrespectful that you're gonna go against me using just a expert class spell.", I mocked them. "LIKE YOU COULD DO ANY BETTER, CHILD!", he screamed out.

"Of course I can. I'll use a single novice class spell and you're all dead.", I threatened. "LIKE HELL, NO NOVICE SPELL CAN KILL!", he said. I held my hand towards them. "Dark Pulse.", I said calmly. A wave of shadow energy released, it pushed away the cultists, throwing them against a wall and pressing them to it. They all screamed in pain as I slowly walk towards them. The effect was gone after 10 seconds. They looked at me scared. "H-Hey... we didn't mean it...", he said intimidated. "Fucking demons. Look I'll give you 2 choices. Either I'll blow your demon ass away, or I'll use my magical pressure on you guys, if you survive you get to go." "THE SECOND PLEASE!", they screamed out eagerly. "Very well.", I said still in a calm tone. I closed my eyes shortly and breathed in and out, then released it all. They immediatly sank to their feet, kneeling, they screamed. "MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOOOOP! AHHH!". They occasionaly looked at me, to them, I must've looked like death itself in a human body. "HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG!", another guy screamed, while they were in utter pain, I just stared down to them. The one thing Eldrin told me to not use, I used, my magical pressure. "Alright. You guys want to go to the next stage?", I asked while having a grin.

Mr. Blake and Emilia also stared at me in shock. Both of them had sank to their feet like infront of a king. "ANOTHER STAGE?!? W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?", a cultist asked. "We're gonna move on to stage two.", I said perfectly calm. Arms raised out of their shadows, clutching all over their body. "Grasp of the abyss.", I chanted. Soon the arms reached to their necks and choked them until they passed out. "I totally acted out of self defense, I mean, they wanted to kill me, so I defended myself.", I said while turning to Mr. Blake and Emilia. Though the students on the platform all looked in terror, having puked. Lucas seemed shell shocked, knowing that I didn't even go all out against him.

Mr. Blake said he would report to the headmaster and that he was very shocked by my performance, but he thought I went a bit overboard, which is true. I see that myself. He told me to carry Emilia to our dorm and so I did. I carried her there and started cooking dinner. I made some curry when Emilia woke up. "Morning~", I said. she walked towards the kitchen, she still had a scared stare as I placed the plates down. "No need to be scared of me, gosh.", I said. "O-Oh, okay...", she said, still intimidated. "Snap out of it. It isn't the first time you've seen me strong. Besides, why do you think I did it? They attacked you and I protected YOU!, YOU!", I assured her. Her smile quickly returned as she hugged me. "Did you grow recently?", she asked. "Totally not. Come on, eat up, the food is getting cold.", I said while getting her off me.
