Ajax POV
"Psst!" Zack leans over at me as Pyrrha was kicking Team CRDL's asses. "We still need to talk about your wacky adventures yesterday."
"Yeah yeah, be patient, I'll do it after classes," I slightly pushed him back to his place. I swear he matches ruby's hyperactivity.
Pyrrha's match was now over. Cardin fell to the floor violently, clutching his ribs. Pyrrha didn't even break a sweat whilst fighting these four morons.
"And that's the match," Glynda stated as she walked into the arena.
"Lucky shot," Cardin says not before collapsing to the ground.
Heh.
"Well done, Miss Nikos," Glynda says as she watches the now defeated student laying motionless on the ground. "You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament."
"Thank you, professor," Pyrrha smiles softly at her. A smile one cannot forget
Jaune, you oblivious mother fucker.
"Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match," Glynda says as she looked at us. "Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna?"
Blake slams her book shut and stares wide-eyed at Glynda.
"You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you-" Glynda is interrupted by a grey-haired boy.
"I'll do it," the boy said raising his hand.
"Noo! I wanted to go..." The boy with light brown hair said.
"Oh? Well then be my guest," Mercury then sat down.
"Luke, was it?" The boy named Luke smiled. "Very well, let's find you an opponent,"
Luke... That name...
"Actually, could I fight him?" Luke pointed at me from behind.
"Eh?" I simply say.
"Alright then, get ready for your match," Glynda ordered.
We both then go down onto the arena and walk to our sides. I summon my combat outfit and Adtrita Corvus, not before taking my stance. Luke does the same and also summons his combat outfit with a smiley face on the mask and a black and purple spear with purple-thorned vines. Similar in color design but with purple.
What? I don't want to jump to conclusions, but this guy's basically the same as the guy we fought yesterday.
Don't lower your guard, I can sense a familiar aura.
Oh, how swell...
"Alright. Begin!" Glynda ordered.
In an instant, Luke darted at me with his spear in hand, in position to stab me. I figured it is better to dodge, rather than to counterattack. I dodge to the side and quickly dash at him and spin with Corvus, but I am blocked by his spear. I jump back and summon a shadow replica of myself from my shadow.
"Interesting..." Luke muttered.
I groan and my shadow and I go at him. My shadow slashes at him with his scythe horizontally and Luke blocks it, but he doesn't have enough time to parry my slash and takes a direct hit, reducing his aura by a fifth.
"Aw come on! That was cheap," Luke teased.
"Alright then, come at me," I challenged him, which he gladly took.
He swiftly dashed at me and faked a stab, I noticed it quickly but I couldn't move fast enough and he stabbed me on my side I lost focus and Corvus dissipated. It wasn't enough for me to be severely hurt, but It certainly hurt. He took the opportunity and kept slashing at me with his spear in various places, slowly chipping at my aura. I saw an opening and jumped out of the way from a slash, making him stumble. In an instant, I summoned a pair of shadow claws to envelop my hands.
