Chapter 6: Fight! Fight! Fight Part 1

"I can't believe you did that!" Naomi knew that as soon as she walked into the library the loud voice belonged to Izumi. Her friends were in the back of the library with Keji.

"Its to early for all of this shouting." Naomi yawned, as she sat down beside Shira. "What happened?" She said sleepily.

Keji, who was in a head lock smirked. "Izumi was just thanking me."

Izumi squeezed Keji's neck, causing him to gasp for air. "He took out weapons! We need those for our battle today!"

Shira, who had been reading, sighed. "If you had listened, Keji said he took them to have them refued." Closing her book, Shira went over to free Keji. "Our weapons are fine. Keji's actually helping us out. Now we can fight without worrying about them breaking easily."

Izumi relited when Shira came over, "How does that help?" She crossed her arms, "It takes three months for academy weapons to be made."

Rubbing his neck, Keji smirked. "I asked them to do a rush job." He crossed his arms, "So you don't want to see you new bow, that can now aborsb earth element energy as well as air?"

Izumi's attitude did a one-eighty. She slapped her hands together like an earger child, "Really!?" She grapped how neck again, this time to bear hug him. "No more air elemental arrows! I can focus on improving my earth elemental arrows! Thanks Keji!"

Shira rolled her eyes at Izumi's overreaction. Izumi was the heir to a powerful family of wind elementist, her mother was the current head of the family. It was no serect that Izumi hates her air elementary, perfering to use her weaker secondary-class of earth elementray. Unlike other earth elementist, Izumi can't control the earth itself. She uses a special pair of kunai that were made to aborsb the earth elemental energy Izumi gives off. With these five kunai, Izumi is able to summon up to five earth golems at once. Being limited in this way, Izumi was always looking and trying new ways to increase her earth elementray.

"Now that Izumi isn't going to kill Keji, can we get out weapons?" Naomi looked at the clock, "School will end in about an hour and a half." She picked up her stuff, waiting for the others to grab theirs so they could leave. Izumi questioned Keji for several more moments before they left the library.

***********************************

Keji took them to the weapons' workshop on campus to pick up their weapons. As promised, their weapons were like ban new. On the outside, they looked the same. However, rare metals and gems had been melted and fused into every inch. Real guardian weapons, these wouldn't break as easily as their in-training ones. Training weapons were given to all elementary and middle grade students until they reached the second month of their in-training years. Training weapons were made weaker, so that they could be broken easily if not handled right. This was done to teach students how to gage and control their powers. To much energy or force could overload a weapon and end up being destroyed by the user, rather then by an enemy in battle.

The girls knew their weapons would be no help against second years who'd had their real weapons for a year already. By having their weapons refued, Keji had given them a big help. Refued weapons were difficult to make. It was a unqice combination of an old training weapon, with new and stronger materials used for making real weapons like those of the GUARD. Finding the right balance was tricky, if done wrong the whole weapons would be damaged beyond repair. If done correctly, the wielder didn't have to worry about relearning how to use the weapon and have the weapon get accustomed to the wielder's energy.

Naomi swung her nagatina, before placing it on her back. "It's going to take sometime to get use to the lightness."

Shira and Izumi tested their weapons also, finding that their weapons were also lighter. "This is going to throw of my aim slightly." Izumi commented on her lighter bow. She had Shira slice down on her bow to test it's durability.

"No complaining girls." Shoes smiled, she adjusted her katana in her back. "Keji has helped us out a ton. Now, let's go show some second years how first years fight."

The girls and Keji followed Shira from the weapons shop to their dorm room. They changed out of their uniforms, perfering personal grab for fighting. Naomi exhanged her purple skirt for a red plaid one with silver crosses at the bottom, her shirt for a black crop top with a short red tie around a black collar, and a pair of black short fingerless leather gloves. She found her ankle length combat boots, as she replaced her red headband for a black one. "You guys ready?" Naomi asked, flipping her waist long brown-blonde hair.

"Just about!" Izumi called from the bathroom.

Shira walked out of their shared walk in closet wearing blue shorts, a matching sky-blue off the shoulder shirt, with brown calf length hiking boots. Her shoulder length dark blond hair was in a ponytail. "We're leaving you, Izumi!" She called to her best friend.

"I'm coming, sheess." Leaning against the bathroom doorway, Izumi wore a short halter top that showed off her belly slightly with form fitting pants, paired with lace up boots. Her hair was in a side ponytail. "Ready?"

Shira rolled her eyes, "We've been ready. Let's go." The friends left their dorm, making their way to the stadium the school shared with the nearby towns.
