Hello There, My name is Bronzen, This is the story of a huge battle that My Friends, My Foes, and Myself Barely Survived. I'll start a few days before the Battle Started...

Chapter 1: Of Heroes and Legends

"Hey Ponyboy, where do ya think your goin'?" I turned around slowly to look Gordon in the eye, his gear already summoned."What do you want now Gordon, you know I don't carry my valuables with me at this hour? If your going to waste my time, then scram, I'm running errands right now!" I proclaimed, Rose was Right in Front of me.
"I'm bored Ponyboy, I want to fight you!" He shouted with bravado, I laughed a small bit "you know what happens when I get challenged, I'm the 2nd best Swordsman in the Academy, and your What, 45th in the Swordsman Training Group?" I laughed, and Rose heard me laugh."huh? Oh, hey Bronzen!" She hugs me, while doing her daily hug, she sees gordon."what's he doing here?","Either leaving, or challenging me to a sword duel",Gordon raised his sword to a challenge.
"Oh great... 11AM and it's the first duel of the day!"I hand my delivery bag to Rose."here, enjoy the show." She smiled as I summon my gear.
My gear consists of a white cape, tied around my neck, a Neon Blue T-Shirt with my signature Logo on the back,

My Lower Body is Neon Blue Cargo Shorts, and my Shoes... they are White DC Shoes, all of which is armored on the inside.
My Sword, A 50% Titanium, 30% Steel, and 20% Aluminum alloy Blade, Ideal for Cutting a through Defense, as well as being Lightweight and Durable. The Hilt, basic Wood, but Capped with a Golden Colored Rubber, Specialized for a clean swing and to prevent the Blade from de-attaching from the hilt, and finally the head knocker, made of 90%Titanium, and 10% refined Cobalt, the head knocker was designed to knock an opponent out with one," knock", of the handle.
"Still Wanna Duel?", I asked, gordon, reluctantly nodded, then he charged with his sword raised, ready to strike. When he reached me, I used my sword to defend his attack. He got very angry and attempted to stab me, but I slide my sword under his blade, and with so much force, I launched his sword into the air, while he looked at it, I quickly spun around and precisely separated his head from his body. After a moment, his sword got pummeled into the ground, which disentigrated on contact, and when his sword disintigrated, so did his body, but all that remained was his souls aura surrounding his summoning chip. I respawned him back to where he last died, and his gear was slightly damaged. "Next Time, Don't Challenge me when I'm on my free time." I exclaimed, then I grabbed my delivery bag from rose, and headed into town, She Followed Close By.

Chapter 2: The Daily Life of Sea-Lip

When I Walked into town, I passed by my old sensei. I was taught techniques that help me land critical strikes with my sword. He compared the air to the ocean, and somebody's strength to the Blade of a Sword.
He said,"you see my sword? It is just a boring iron sword, but, remember a user is only as strong as the Blade can be, and think of your surroundings like the ocean, breath in, and wait for the water to move, when you feel it move, Strike!" I remember those words as if it were my birthday... actually, it was my birthday when he taught me that.
I waved to him as I passed by. He tossed me a bag of rice. "Fresh. From Vietnam", I smiled, And continued walking. "Hey Bronzen, What do you have planned for today, after our daily training?" I thought about the question. "Well, there's the monthly tournament in 2 days, so I want to atleast be prepared. Also, there's a big Mountain climbing challenge going on right now, it says on the flyer that a group of 4 can climb Mount Kragstaug for a chance to win 25,000$ per person! If we won that, we would all have enough money to get new gear and have money left over. So, wanna do it?"
I Asked, then Carter and Mac came around and Tackled me. "BRONZEN!!!" They Yelled, we all started laughing. "Hey Guys, What's up?" I said, pinned to the ground still. "Did you hear about the mountain challenge?" I nodded "yeah, I just asked rose about it, wanna do it?" We all looked at her, and We saw her Climb a whole building while we were distracted. Carter has a crush on Rose, so he fainted immediately. Little Mac enjoys the fun times we have, so he cheered her on. As for me, I smiled as she climbed the building. Little Mac got up and poured a nearby bucket of fresh water on me and Carter.
"Alright, alright! Wake up you two, we Miners can't make our presence by just sitting around!" Mac said, he helped me up, after Carter got on his feet.
"While you boys go ahead and lie around like you do, I'm going to get my gear first!" Rose shouted competitively, Little Mac left immediately shouting. "Not if I Can Help it!" Mac left running for the stores, I Continued my errands while everybody ran off, Carter Ran up next to me. "Hey number 2, can number 1 join your errands?" I smiled, And continued walking.
"What do you think the hike will be like?" Carter asked, I thought about it. "Well, nobody has every climbed the top of the mountain, and our group house is abit empty on souvenirs... I heard a rumor that there is a key at the top of the mountain, and it goes to a chest the Academy owns." I explained. "Have you ever been in Sensei's Private Office? I have, it has a big, golden chest in his closet, nobody knows what's inside of it, but it must be something for one of the Herds the Academy has to offer." I finished, right as we made it to the Academy to drop off Sensei's Polished Kitana Hilt.
Right as we were about to enter the Academy to deliver Sensei's Property, we were stopped by the HoleDiggers. "Hey, Ponyboy, Long Legs!" Gordon shouted, with his Herd Next to him. Carter and I looked at each other. "What do you want?" Carter Shouted, the HoleDiggers started laughing. I placed my delivery pouch on some soft grass, to my right. Carter and I summoned our gear.
While the HoleDiggers summoned their gear, Little Mac came Sprinting through the academy's Courtyard. "REBELS!!!" Little Mac shouted, he stopped almost instantly in Front of Carter. "They're running around the city looking for Herds to defeat, and any Herd they defeat, they are destroying their Group House!" Little Mac Began Hyperventillating. "Mac! Meditate, and deliver Sensei his Hilt!" Mac grabbed my deliver bag and ran into the Academy.
The HoleDiggers finished summoning their gear and attacked Carter and I, 1 on 2 battles, each. It was Sword and Fist against Carter, and Sword and Magic against me.
While Carter was fighting off Leroy(Swordsman, rank 28th in the Academy) and Tom (Rank 6th in the Academy for Hand-to-hand Combat), I was fighting Gordon, and their Herd Leader, Magenta(Rank 2nd in the Academy for overall fighting technique and 1st for Magic-based warfare).
