The Jester of Halkeginia

Duel of Magics

Tristain Magic Academy, Medical Wing

"So, care to tell me why you did it?", asked the raven haired boy the clown. They were alone in the chamber, the nurse having requested her leave for now. Roswaal had his eyes closed, it was as if he had a peaceful sleep.

"I mean, I can understand you if you want to protect me, but this was a bit over the top.", continued Saito. Suddenly Roswaal's face twisted, making a grimace. "Maybe his sleep wasn't so peaceful after all!", chuckled the familiar inwardly.

"Well, he seems to realize his mistake by now, even though he doesn't want to talk about it", thought Saito, leaving him alone,"And the injuries he sustained should be enough of a punishment, though I'd like to talk to that Hector again. He sure knew a lot about you, more than me at last."

Saito left the room and walked through the corridors, whistling a happy tune but his mind was turning:"Well, I hope the next time we see each other will be when we can have a talk about everything. With how he seems to care about me we should be best friend's by now, but I don't know a thing about him. I don't like to be treated like a thing. If only I had gotten some cheat powers to, then everything would be easier."  

What Saito didn't know was that Roswaal was fighting a battle on his own.

Akami's Dream Castle

"So, what the hell is this?", asked Akami as he saw what happened to the once idyllic place. Well, it changes accordingly to his state of emotion, being impacted by positive or negative thoughts. This was not the case here. While everything could be easily rebuild, it had only been moments since this place had been fixed. If problems were piling up at this rate it would be more than tedious to fix them.

There was not much of an battle scene, his fights with Hector being more violent than what was happening now, still. Where once was the house from his childhood day's, there was now something akin to a prison, a giant crater surrounding it. More so, the air above it was deformed, as if it glass shards were floating around. 

"Is this another force field?", asked Akami himself,"It is far more powerful than those I am used to, I still feel it's pressure over here!"

"Well, If I wooould have used my full power in our earlier misunderstandings there wouldn't be much left of youuu. The latest Roooswaal would be able to put up a fiiight, but since coming to this world the power of my witch factor grew like I saiiid. You with your nooovice understanding of magic wouldn't be much of a challengeee."

"Yada yada yada, I am so strong ,look at me, I would crush you like a fly, come here and look at me! I think we understand it now, no reason to seek attention.", sighed Akami back.

"I only said that you should coooncentrate on your study of magic and deepeeen your knowledge over it."

"I would do that with much vigor if it wasn't you always summoning me inside here!", retorted the young man.

"Couuuuld you pleaase be soooo kind to turn your banteeer down for the next time, it disturbs me greaaatly.", came a voice from the side.  

"Not now, Roswa- Roswaal!!!", shrieked Akami, almost falling over his legs as he hid away behind Hector."Ro-Ro-Roswaal, what an honor to-o meet you here...",stuttered Akami.

"What the fuuuuuck! You Idiot of an Warlock. Why didn't you tell me someone like this would be here. Are you working together, what is your relationship with this individual?!", shouted Akami,"And foremost...could I have an autograph!"

"You shouldn't always assumeee so many things, your theories are going wild again, and you, stop with the mind gameees.", said Hector sharply, stepping away to reveal not Roswaal anymore, but some kind of blurry human figure barely resembling Akami.
