Chapter 14: Friend or Foe! [3/3]

Semester final-

Mahi along with all the students of first grade are getting ready for the test exam. They have their gym suits… all the students have gathered in the field behind the school building…

A field full of students, everyone finding their groups. Fai soon joined Mahi and they both waited for the test to start…

"Hey you guys…! " a voice came out loud.

They turned left and saw Neko.

" Oh..! It's just Brother Neko." Fai sighted.

After that incident in the nurse's chamber, Neko has been playing his role of a good senior brother. Maybe that's too much…

"You guys Don't need to worry Mahi! And Fai! Both of you are great quirk users." -Neko starts like always, praising them.

Fai And Mahi just could hear all of it until he finished.

" Chill out. This exam is just to see if all first-year students are worth being heroes? Many wimpy quirk users would get in the school for their connection, to skip all the fuss school authority specially organise this test."

"So you're saying many of us are going to get expelled? " Mahi asked.

"On the contrary, yes. But no, they will get their chance. "

" Come on, Mahi! That's fair enough. " Fai patted Mahi's back.

" Another thing is after this test your first year will get primary hero licences. You can use your quirk in public just in case. "

After a long speech, Neko left and blended with the audience.

Soon the teacher came and gave a short speech. That was already said by Neko. Most of it…

" After this test's result your first year will get divided into batches according to your results " - this left all the students to get fired up…

Mahi and Fai both wished each other "Good luck."

" First round is the knock-out round but you can't hurt other students intentionally. " Teacher added.

With that, the battle starts!

Mahi and Fai both won their first match easily. They were the audience this time.

That boy, Neji, was having his 2nd battle.

Mahi missed his first battle because he went to the bathroom that time. They said his first battle was a quick win. So Mahi has a keen interest in his battle this time.

Neji's opponent is a boy with a Physical quirk. Tough!

With the Wiesel rang, that boy went toward Neji running. To crush him? Everyone, along with Mahi thought that the angelic boy got crushed but… smoke went off… the battlefield was empty… that boy was out of the field, crashed into the wall up high. But Neji, nowhere to be seen…

A sound Comilla from the sky as everyone looked up...Everyone's eyes went to their forehead. Neji was in the sky, standing in the middle of golden shockwaves.

Everyone was thrilled, except Mahi.

How can it be!? Isn't his quirk, telekinesis? then why is it Wave motion?!

Mahi has a big question mark on his face. Mahi's frowned gaze met Neji's.

Neji gave a wink that Mahi ignored.

From the first day to the present, their friendly relationship is complicated.

The test was just about to end with the final remaining student. The top students from first years.

" The official test has ended, congratulations to our winners. But those who have been eliminated, Don't be disappointed. We wish for a better future for you guys. "

After that hard full condolence speech, something interesting was announced.

"Now if anyone wished to have a battle with someone but they did not get paired. They can have friendly battles with each other. The field is yours. But note it down, this is just for entertainer purposes. "

So that leaves the whole crowd with excitement. One after another, many battles took place.

But something unusual was going to happen. On the mike-

" Ahem..! Someone has cordially requested Mahi from the first year in a friendly duel."

Mahi, who was having a short conversation, was startled hearing it. Who might it be?

Mahi stepped into the field, waiting for the challenger. Silent cheering for Mahi, from the audience. Who would dare to challenge him…

A Red-haired boy came toward the field and stood at the other side of the field, facing Mahi.

Mahi has a frown on his face, " Andrew..!? "

Well, guess who it is…Mahi's friend from the old school. He gave Mahi a hard time back then. What does he want now?

" Oh! You're having trouble remembering your best friend!? " He shouted out loud.

Mahi who barely talks to Anyone can't find any words to throw back at him.

"Why do you want to battle with me? "

" Ahhh…!don't tell me you're scared? I just wanted to have some fun." Andrew replied with a creepy smile on his face.

Thair battle started… Remembering that incident, Mahi's having mental trouble.

"After you…! " Andrew said in an arrogant style.

Without thinking twice he took the lead. He wants to end this soon.

Soon the field became covered with ice. Mahi's starting move.

No reaction came from Andrew like he was expecting it.

"Mahi…! Showing off as always! You better look now! "

The ice, which was all over the field, started to melt suddenly. Seems like heat coming from the ground. Mahi felt it too.

" How did you do that? " Mahi was surprised. As far he knows Andrews quirk wasn't related to any kind of heat.

" What did I say...you better look! "

Not only did Mahi's face get a frown but from the audience, Neji had a big frown on his face too.

As the heat started to grow…

" Everyone get back!!!! " Mahj yelled.

Soon around the field, lava came bursting out. Causing the students, to shout and run.

The teacher announced to stop the battle but Andrew wasn't in his mind. Causing a disaster. Mahi has his Iced shoe on, skating to dodge Andrews lava attacks.

Was his power Lava manipulating?

" Andrew, stop! You're hurting others…! "

" Still as showy as ever!! You selfish…..! "

Before he finished, a giant wall fell on him…

Neji came toward me, flyingly. " Are you ok? "

" Yeah, I'm. But what are you doing here..! Go, it's dangerous! "

" Dangerous? You know That's my nickname!" Neji said it calmly.

Andrew broke through the wall with the help of two giant lava hands. He looked more aggressive.

"Wait here Mahi, it'll be quick " -two giant shock waves were spinning in Neji's hands.

" Wait Neji! Leave him to me!! I have an old relationship with Seattle. "

Naji respected Mahi's ambition. Mahi's gym suit was turned off, looking miserable. Mahi took his step forward. A pearl beakless, hanging in Mahi's bare chest. Where Neji has his eyes on.

Mahi removed the necklace. As always a huge amount of power was flowing in Mahi's body. A cold pressure left the lava field, making it freeze.

On the other hand, Andrew's lava hands were attached to his body and Laza covered his whole body creating a golem armour.

He came rushingly with a killing fist. While Mahi was concentrating on launching his new attack.

Ice Beam!!!

An ice ball filled with a huge pressure would freeze Its target the moment it touched. So it happened…

Andrew was frozen in his spot. Mahi walked toward frozen Andrew…

" Why are you like this? What made you hate me this much… " Mahi said sobbingly. A strong cold wind passed by, Mahi's Aqua Blues-white hair was flowing in the air. That made it a sad environment with cold silence.

The cold pressure left by Mahi, made the lava field cool down.

Everyone thought the rampage had ended, so the students were coming out. Many teachers who were on Andrew's way were lying down. Senseless or injured.

But suddenly, Andrew blasted out of nowhere with a limitless heart. Grabbed Mahi's feet with his lava hand which was nearly at the same heat as the sun.

" Aaaaaaah! … "

A deadly scream was left by Mahi. Mahi lost consciousness.

Seeing this incident… Neji, who was holding back, lost his control.

" You bastard!!!!!.... "

A huge amount of Shock waves hit Andrew… his armour was shattered.

He was just going to kill him with his final strike but…Running Fai's call made him come to reality.

His anger was stabbed now, Neji turned to Mahi, " his legs!"

Any normal person would be sure dead if he was in Mahi's place.

Neji put his hand in his pocket, looking for something there. But stopped Looking for it seeing Fai doing her thing!

Golden wings came out from her back, her sobby eyes with an angry attitude were locked at Unconscious Andrew. She pointed her left hand toward Andrew and her Right hand was on Mahi's body.

The gold thread came out of Andrew's body, entering in her left palm. Her eyes were Golden now. From the right hand, the gold threads came out and were binding Mahi's Legs….

Lifeforce transfer! Regeneration! Fallen angels feather!

Three skills at once. Punishing Andrew, regenerating Mahi's leg and healing the injured ones.

" A true goddess!!! " Neji muttered.

Soon everything came back to normal. Firefighters, police and a medical team came to help the school….
