Mystic Academy

Chapter 7

For the first match it was an explosive one, each punch that clashed sent shockwaves around and throughout the desolate arena. However, the desolate arena was about to take an unexpected turn. The ground began to rumble as both stopped fighting to look down at the ground, small rocks and the subtle dust began to shift and move.

RUUUMMMBLLLEEE...DOOOSH! DOOOSH! DOOSH!!!

Gigantic rocks then shot up from the ground as the terrain began to terraform itself into what looked like a mountain range. Kimura and Hei'Kahra began trying to stabilize themselves as Hei'Kahra jumped back onto a smaller but lower hill, landing smoothly onto it, meanwhile Kimura was having a bit of a harder time as he almost fell off and decided to do the same, having a less than graceful landing.

"OH, AND THE TERRAIN CHANGES!!! IT'S BECOME A MOUNTAINOUS BATTLEGROUND NOW!!" The announcer hypes up the terrain change.

A cheer from the rest of the other academies come loudly as things were finally getting interesting, however the only person who seems to be concerned is Ayameko and Korvos.

"Something wrong Ayameko?" Naoki looks at her, a little confused at her stern look.

"Yeah...just...having a weird feeling he's not gonna do well in that environment..." Ayameko replied subtle about her choice of words.

Meanwhile, Kimura was struggling to even traverse the mountains, Kimura climbed on the side of one as he climbed up a ledge and took a breather, drones then begin circling above as they give a bird's eye perspective for the others to view.

"I never thought I'd be winded from climbing..." Kimura sighed.

He stood up as he noticed there were trees and greenery on the mountain he was on, simulating the greenery of the mountains. He noticed a pathway as he began walking down it as the pathway led to the middle of the arena once again, however there was a bridge connecting to the other side.

Kimura began walking on the bridge as suddenly Hei'Kahra appeared on the other side, she didn't seem winded like Kimura as she gave him a smirk. Kimura didn't like that one bit as he looked down, seeing that it was a 30-foot drop with other wooden bridges beneath in a random pattern.

"Wait...we're fighting on a bridge?!?"

Kimura wasn't ready for this as he heard rapid footsteps as he faced ahead, dodging a punch as he began to back up to dodge. After a couple of dodged punches his back presses up against a sudden barrier where the entrance was.

"Huh?!?"

"Eyes on your prey!" She shouted punching at him.

"Gah!!"

Kimura swayed to the side as her fist smashed against the barrier. The barrier making a rippled effect on it as Kimura shoulder shoves Hei'Kahra back, making her stumble back a bit. What kind of battleground takes place on a bunch of bridges?!? Kimura looked up as he dodged another punch, leaning against the ropes as the bridge shifted towards his weight, however Hei'Kahra stomped on the other end of the bridge to stabilize the bridge and somewhat thrust him towards the other side.

Kimura came swinging back as she hit Kimura with a lariat across the neck, making him flip as he caught the edge of a floorboard, barely hanging on. That fucking hurt... Kimura thought as his fingers slipped as he fell about four feet before his back slammed onto another wooden bridge. He groaned a bit as he looked and saw her falling towards him, Kimura swiftly rolled backwards to dodge her as her landing made the bridge ripple up and down a bit.

Kimura rubbed his neck as she sighed a bit, her excitement turned into a frown, Kimura raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms while she watched Kimura stand up.
