Mytho-Academy Next Generation

S2 - Chapter 7: Betrayal

Mia

Despite how worried I was, I kind of wanted to see this fight for a while.

I know Lucas has always been easily stronger than Lucy, but after her time training here, she seemed more serious about what was going on around her.

With the two of them being family, maybe I should've tried a bit harder to stop them, but I knew there was no stopping them now.

Lucy and Lucas stood on opposite ends of the training ground, Lucas already holding his twin pistols while Lucy held her dagger with the Rope of Aphrodite tied to the handle.

The world around us suddenly began to change. I was told that the training grounds could morph into any environment to allow for better training.

As for why they chose this....

We were now standing on the top of the wall surrounding Mytho-Academy. I could see everything from the school up here, which made me kind of homesick. I could even feel the wind as if we were really there.

Lucas: "I won't even give you the chance to back out, you've had this coming for a long time. You need to realize this isn't your world"

Lucy: "It's way too late to say it isn't my world. I've been living it for over a year. It may have only felt like a month to you, but I've spent every single day training and studying mythology so I can be on par with all of you"

Lucas just glared at her.

In a split second, Lucas raised his gun and shot a bullet straight toward Lucy.

Mia: "LUCY!!!!!"

My cry may have been a bit late, as by the time I had gotten it out, Lucy had swung her dagger and cut the bullet down.

She lashed out, tossing her dagger straight towards Lucas, who sidestepped. She immediately slammed her hand against the rope, causing a shockwave on the rope to bend where the blade was, causing it to swipe inward from behind Lucas. He knew it was coming and jumped over it before the blade came back to Lucy's hand.

Lucas: "At least you have some basic combat skills"

Lucy didn't even bother responding, she rushed in, twirling her rope around with the knife on the end. Every movement was fluid, causing strike after strike of her blade from all different directions. Lucas managed to block most of them with the barrels of his guns, but one cut landed on his cheek. Blood ran down his cheek.

His body began to glow a dark shadowy aura.

Lucas: "That's it..."

He held his hand out and hundreds of souls appeared in the air. He closed his fist and they all morphed into spears like his own.

Lucas: "Take this!!"

All of the soul spears launched themselves at Lucy, however she started running. I forgot she had the Shoes of Hermes, letting her run super fast and gain enhanced reflexes in her legs. She weaved, dodged, outran, and sometimes parried the spears, faster than I could ever imagine for a human.

Mia: "H-How is she able to keep up with all that?!"

Bella: "We gave her two new magic items during her stay here to even the playing field. The first, The Eyes of Horus. They're a pair of contact lenses that give her the sight of Horus, like an eagle. She can perceive those attacks fast enough to counter them"

Adrian: "What's the second item?"

Bella: "See that belt around her waist? That's the Pouch of Loki. The belt has multiple pouches that can form anything the wearer desires, as long as it isn't magic of course. She can however store magic items inside to call upon. She just can't make any new magic items appear"
