Chapter 5 Fights

(this chapter is completely dedicated to battles, just so you know ;). Battles are pretty fun to write)

The next day, Skolris was in her silver wolf form. She ran quickly to school because they had to come early today. All of the 8th graders would be assigned skill levels. They would face many opponents to find their skill. The skills were ranked as follows: weak, moderate, good, strong, expert, and deadly.

She stopped at a crosswalk and, before walking across, checked for vehicles. Her school appeared in her vision and Skolris broke into a sprint. Kids flooded into the gates and Skolris followed in human form.

All of the 8th graders met in the battle arena. All of them sat in the stadium. Skolris had found Antariel in the front row and had sat next to her.

A man wearing a cloak strode into the middle of the arena. "8th graders! Today is the day where you will be assigned your skill level!" He was met with cheers. "So, what will happen is that each of you will face five opponents. After each if your matches, you will be given a score. And lastly, all of your five seperate scores will be added together to determine your skill level.

A tall woman walked onto the stage. "First up, Antariel Ckrilstke vs Donniel delku!" The kids cheered as Antariel and a tall boy from the other side of the arena entered the arena. They stood face to face until a horn sounded and the battle began. Donniel was the first to attack.

Vines and spiney plants rose from the ground all around him and swiped at Antariel. She dodge mist of them, but some still scratched at her bare skin. Antariel shifted into her redish-brown wolf. Her teeth bared and she lept at him. The force of her leap knocked Donniel down and Antariel was able to pin him down and win.

The crowd cheered for her victory as she returned to her place. Skolris
high fived her when the judges rated her a score of 4.

Ten more battles were fought before the announcer finally said her name. "Skolris Kromel vs Annalarie Sephlaire!" The crowd cheered as they entered the arena. A girl with black hair, blue eyes, and a slender body faced her. "What are your abilities?" The tuxedo man asked. "I'm a werewolf." Skolris said. "Fire." Was all Annalarie said. "Alright, ready?"

The man raised his arm and Skolris shifted into her silver wolf but with silver eyes thus time. She found out that Annalarie was incredibly fast. She whipped around her in a blur. Skolris swiped outwards with a paw and happened to catch her hand with a claw. Suddenly, Annalarie grabbed that same paw and her hands became burning hot.

Skolris snarled at her smirking face and snapped her teeth shut on her long black hair. She yanked her to the side, throwing Annalarie a few feet away. She threw fire at her as Skolris dodged the flames. She slowly made her way towards her opponent. She made one final leap and tackled Annalarie on the dirty ground.

Annalarie made her skin burning hot, singing holes in her fur. Skolris was forced to let her go because of her burning fur. How can i beat her? Skolris bared her long fangs, attempting to intimidate her opponent, but it never worked. Werewolves are weak against fire. But I'm not a werewolf, I'm a shifter. Should i reveal my secret? Is it worth it?

It's not time. In my last battle. It will be the hardest one.

Annalarie ran forward, her hands red hot. At that moment, Skolris leaped at her feet and pinned her to the ground, winning.

The crowd cheered for her victory as she returned back to Antariel.

Antariel fought three more battles, which she lost two to a fire user. "Skolris Kromel vs Froal Truski!" Announced ghe tuxedo guy.
