As the music began the group prepared themselves for possibly the shortest yet longest afternoon of training in their lives. Luz held her sword in her hand and switched to the Plant glyph. Luz stabbed the Monado in the ground, causing large vines to grow towards her friends as they used their spells to dodge the wave. Luz then jumped in the air and head the Monado up as a blade of green energy sprouted out. Luz's slice was dodged but the aftermath of the attack made vines grow rapidly at the place where the fence was slashed. Luz switched to the fire glyph and slammed the head of the blade onto the ground. A wave of flames rose as Amity and Boscha used their own fire spells to cancel it out while leaving slight scorch marks on the yard. Willow drew a spell circle and summons vines to catch her.

'Gotta think fast!' Luz thought as she jumped into the air.

The Monado producing a blast of fire as Luz jumped on like she was riding Eda's staff.

"She can fly on that thing!?" Amity said.

"Apparently she can!" Gus said as Luz flew after them.

"Woo!" Luz said as they dodged out of the way.

Luz flew into the air again before switching to the light glyph, gaining yellow eyes and yellow highlights with light particles. With a swing of the sword, Luz sent a flurry of light blasts at her friends!

"Cover your eyes." Boscha said as she used a transformation spell, turning her skin into mirror to reflect some of the light blasts.

Luz was hit by the reflected light, but it didn't affect her. She was immune to light attacks! She landed on the ground and ran to her friends, covered in light and suddenly moving past them in great speed!

"Whoa!" They said as Luz kicked up a trail of dirt dust!

"High speed movement?" Willow said as he covered her eyes.

"What else can she do?" Boscha asked.

Luz's hair suddenly had snowflakes coming from it.

"You had to ask."

Luz stabbed the ground once more as ice formed around her to form an ice golem around her.

"I... don't even have a comeback for that one." Gus said.

Luz smiled in the ice golem as she stood up and bashed her fists together.

"If this keeps up, we're gonna wreck my house!" Boscha said in shock.

"Then we'll have to take it outside of the property!" Willow said as she used her plant magic to grow into a large fly trap.

The fly tap swallows all of them and brings them under ground, only to spit them out in a empty field, long away from any people. Luz didn't know how this spell worked but she would definitely try it herself. Luz pointed the Monado at them and got ready to attack. Gus created illusion clones, Willow created a plant beast, Amity made a large abomination, and Boscha made herself levitate in the air.

"Why do you know so many random spell?" Amity asked.

"I'm in the potions track, it doesn't have signature or category spells like the rest of you!" Boscha said to Amity.

"What other thing spells do you know?" Gus asked, getting interested.

"Gus, right now?" Willow asked.

"What? This is the most civil we've ever been with Boscha." Gus said.

Luz decided it was long enough for the break and switch to light mode, blitzing to them.

"MOVE!" Boscha said as she flew up into the air to dodge.

They all dodged and Luz stands there.

"A little too close!" Willow said.

"Montages are full of close calls. Just as much for me as it is for you!" Luz said as she prepares her blade.

Luz used the fire glyph and watched the sword catch fire.

"Well I didn't think that would work." Luz said.

Amity used abomination goo, hardening it in her hands, and forming a flaming sword of her own. The two ran at each other and their weapons collided with each other. Luz and Amity fought in a sword fight as Willow made wooden swords for her, Gus, and Boscha to join in the sword fight. They all charged Luz, who put her sword up and blocked each strike. Luz charged up her swords power. She watched as they all tried to attack her at once and used a simple horizontal strike at each of their swords, sending the four of them back. Luz then spun her Monado and switched to ice, stabbing the ground and invade their arms and legs in ice.

"Why are we training her, she's clearly a natural." Willow said.

"Maybe so but even naturals can screw up. Just because she has it down now, won't mean she's gonna have it down later." Boscha said, trying to pull her hands free. "Practice makes perfects, and she'll need lots of it to use her elemental magic outside of using the sword."

"She can use magic without fully wielding the Monado?" Gus asked in surprise.

"Yes. I saw her freeze a lake with the wave of the hand." Boscha said to them.
