Amenza

Chapter 16

   And with that, a month passes.

   The school has an assembly, and Spri takes a seat. Merlben comes up to the front of the stage, and everyone stops talking. 

   "As everyone knows, tomorrow is the district tournament start. I want everyone who is participating to be battle ready." The entire auditorium goes crazy. "Quiet down, there is one more thing. A powerful student wishes to stay incognito. They will wear a mask, and they will go by 'Amenza'." The entire crowd starts getting really excited. "You all are dismissed."

   The entire day is quiet, and school is over in the blink of an eye. 'Viper Tower isn't open today, so I guess I'll walk around town.' He walks around the town. It's actually very pretty. There's a local coffee shop, so Spri enters it. "Hello, and welcome!"

   Spri orders, and he hears teens laughing. He gets his tea, pays obviously, and sits near the teens. "So, we're going up against Whinter's Charter Institute, and East Shores, correct?" Spri sips his tea. 'They must be from GSMG.' Soon, the teens get up, and start walking up. "Oh crap. I'll be back guys, I left my wallet." One teen walks back, and grabs his wallet, and see's Spri. The student approaches him. "You seem to be hurt, are you OK?" Spri looks up at him. He smiles. "Yes, I'm fine. I get bullied at school because I have no magic."

   The other teens get interested, and join the other teen. "You have no magic? Where do you go to school at?" Spri sighs. "I go to Whinter's Charter, but I train at Viper's Tower." The first teen leans back in his chair. "Alright then, I expect great things from you in the tournament. We're from GSMG." Spri shakes his hand. "I'll see you around. My name is Spri. Ciao." He walks out, and takes a deep breath. "I didn't expect to see you guys so soon.."

   The next day, the students that are participating don't have to go to class, so Spri just meets with the participants in the gymnasium. Coach Budore gets on stage to tell everyone that they were leaving. "Alright everyone, let's get headed to Geni! Get on the carts!" There are a lot of carts, and a lot of students. so Spri gets on one with students he doesn't know. A teacher is also in the cart. "We should get there by 12 PM, seeing as it is 11 AM."

   An hour later, they reach Geni. Spri looks out the window, to admire the city. 'It's been a while since I've been here..' He sees Cheruson's flower shop, the bath house, and the alley he got stabbed. He pushes up his glasses. 

   Soon, they arrive at GSMG, and Coach Budore gathers the group. "Alright everyone, you have thirty minutes. Go wander." Spri went into the bathroom, transforms into the actual Amenza, and walks out a bit later. He walks around, and eventually someone taps him on the shoulder. "Amenza?"

   He turns. "H-hey Ophelia.." She hugs him. "How've you been?" He stammers. "U-uh, fine." She let's go, hugs him again, then finally let's go. "I'm in the tournament, so I'll see you later." She runs away. 

   With 5 minutes left, he changes back into Spri, and goes back with the group. This time though, he has a dark, leather jacket with leather boots. The jacket's collar goes up to the middle of his head. The mask he's wearing has a half sad face, and a half happy face. His gloves are white, and stick out. He also has a white fedora.

   The announcer's get up, and start talking. "Everyone, the students from Whinter's Charter!" The entire group walks onto the field. It's basically a football stadium. They get onto the field, close to where they entered from, and Spri is in the exact middle of his group. He stops suppressing his magic energy, and the rest of his classmates fall to their knees from the pressure being exerted. "Oh, what's this?" 

   Spri floats up into the air, and points up. Something shoots up, and a firework goes off. "Attention GSMG and East Shores. Your days of rule are over, bow down before us." Everyone is silent, then there is a booming applause from the students from every school. He floats back down to his classmates, but still floating above them. "Off your knees. Arise, my servants!" The classmates slowly stand back up.

   "Here are the students from East Shore!" There isn't that big of an applause, but it's still there. "Best for last, everyone rise for GSMG!" The entire stadium is applauding as the students from GSMG head into the middle of the field. Collin stands apart from the crowd, and has someone with Sound magic amplify his voice. "Attention all. We have won for twenty years in a row now, and that will not stop. Go team!" The team starts chanting.

   Whinter's Charter goes into their locker room. Coach Budore goes up to them. "We're up in the first match. Amenza, you're up." Spri stands up, and begins walking onto the field. On the field now is a giant stage. "Up first is Wend from East Coast!" A student with white hair gets on stage. He's a got a really strong build. "And now, Amenza from Whinter's Charter!" There's a lot of murmur from the crowd, but especially from GSMG.

   He gets on the stage. "So, Wend, is it? I'll give you two options. Surrender now, or suffer the consequences." The boy scoffs. "Like hell I'm going to surrender!" He speaks with an accent. "Besides, what are you going to do to me anyway?" Spri smirks. "I'll break all of your fingers and toes with one snap. Then, I'll stab both of your arms so that you can't use them. Then, I'll knock you over, and stomp on your back, and you'll be paralyzed for life." The entire crowd gasps at the threat. "I-I'm the strongest student from East Coast!" Spri shrugs.

   "Three, two, one.. go!" Wend goes for an attack, but is stopped when Spri snaps, and uses a Wind spell. "My fingers, and my toes!" Spri summons his sword, and punctures both of the boy's arms. He screams in agony. Spri kicks him onto his stomach, then stomps on his back with one of his boots. The boot then has spikes come out of the bottom that puncture his chest.

   He steps off of the poor boy, and starts walking away. "I'm not.. done!" Spri turns to the boy. "I'll only fight you more if you can walk." The boy struggles to even get onto all fours, and he just falls. "That's what I thought. You should have taken my offer in the beginning of the match." Spri walks away. "And the winner is Amenza from Whinter's Charter!"

   He walks back into the locker room. "Give me a wet towel, I have blood on my boots." Someone throws one at him. He cleans his boots.

   "Look at that! All of East Coast is backing out!" Spri smiles. he looks at his classmates, and says a phrase that sends shivers down their spines. "They're strongest isn't even as strong as the weakest here. They shouldn't have even come."

   "Sorry everyone, but we're going to have to re do the tournament brackets now. We'll continue tomorrow."

   Spri walks around the campus in costume, and everyone is too afraid to even approach him.
