Jake nearly slipped when he was trying to avoid the incoming arrows. Damn Moray and his infinite-arrow-bow. Jake deactivated his sword, switching it into his blaster, and pointed to the ground below him. "[Portkey Gate]!" he quickly shouted, shooting at the ground below him, opening a triangle-shaped portal before jumping in.
"Argh! Come on!" Moray shouted. He pulled the string of his bow, summoning three arrows at the same time. He circled the empty arena. "Come out here and fight like a man!"
In a flash, a portal suddenly opened and Jake jumped out of it, sword activated, ready to strike. Moray's eyes widened. Letting go of the string, he instead used his bow to blocked the incoming sword. Moray pushed forward which caused Jake to jumped back.
Not wasting any time, Moray pulled his bow again, unleashing his arrow. Jake growled, finding his footing, and cut the arrow with one swift of his sword. He switched to his blaster again, shooting balls of light toward his opponents, but Moray did a cartwheel to avoid it, shooting some more arrows. Jake dodge it and ran forward, at the same time as Moray running toward. With a spark of light, his bow changed into a long bo-staff, using it to once again blocked Jake's sword. The dual-color-haired boy kept attacking forward with slices and stabs, but the ginger-haired kept blocking him, spinning his staff and trying to hit him.
The attacking and blocking went on forever that Jake started to get frustrated. Jumping back to gain his control back, he once again shot the ground, summoning a portal underneath him and jumping in. Moray glanced around, trying to find an opening. Where is he...
A portal opened underneath Moray. The prince's eyes widened as a leg suddenly shot out, followed by a screaming Jake. But the surprise disappeared quickly. In reflex, Moray jumped back and swung his leg. Jake's eyes widened. Fuck! He missed! unable to do anything as Moray kicked him hard. The boy went tumbling back so hard that he passed the arena.
The siren was blown along with the cheers from the crowd. "THE WINNER: MORAY CHAN EIL!"
"Dammit!" Jake rolled to his back, punching the ground next to him. "I thought I had you!"
A shadow fell over him. "You hold up pretty well." Moray was grinning at him, stretching out his hand toward him. "But you have a long way to go to beat your senior."
Jake sighed, but he grabbed Moray's hand who help him stand up again. Jake glanced at the scoreboard, with Moray's name rising, securing him in the top eight. To be honest, Jake felt frustrated. This test was really important to him.
Like many years before, the top eight of the preliminary tournament will be chosen as one team to face up again Night Raven College in the Interschool Tournament. Jake really needed to be in that spot. Because... It might be the only way for him to meet him again...
"Hey." He felt a hand on his head. Looking up, he saw Moray smiling at him. "Don't feel bad. You can try again next year."
Yeah. If Jonah doesn't disappear again next year.
He just had to be better. He had to be stronger.
He'll get him back no matter what!

Moray is from the prototype Royal Sword Academy that I've been using before the reveal in Pomefiore Arc. I'll be sticking to this version instead of canon because I've been going too deep in this.
Prince Moray Chan Eil is twisted from Merida from Brave (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/animenightmarenation/620421151195316224)
