The Unbroken Promise {A Magi Fanfiction}

Chapter Seventeen: Man up!

Rashil and Alibaba stood in the middle of a colosseum-type area. 

Sinbad stood off to the side, watching them. Today was the first day Rashil would train Alibaba. Sinbad only hoped that he didn't die.

Xander stood by Rashil's side (in dog form). They both nodded at each other and he absorbed himself into her sword. 

Alibaba marveled at the sight. He never really payed attention to it before, but it actually looked pretty cool. 

Rashil cleared her throat, gaining the blonde's attention. "Listen, I'm not very good at throwing out fancy words to teach, so I'm gonna be a bit more hands on, 'kay?" 

Alibaba nodded determinedly. "All right." 

Rashil thought for a moment on how to start. She snapped her fingers. "You know Ugo, right?"

Alibaba blinked. "Huh? Of course I do."

"Well, did you ever wonder how he shows up?"

Alibaba furrowed his eyebrows. "I guess I never really thought about it before."

Rashil sighed. "Your curiosity levels are pretty low..." She shook her head. "Anyway, by infusing your metal vessel with bunches of magoi, you can materialize your djinn. That's what Aladdin does with Ugo."

"How about you with Xander?"

Rashil chuckled. "Ha! Nope. My boy does that all by himself." She smiled at Xander's reflection in her sword. "He's got separation anxiety."

The djinn grinned back at her. "Only for you, mistress."

Rashil turned her attention back to Alibaba. "But, yeah. That's pretty cool, isn't it?"

Sinbad cut in. "Of course, Aladdin's a magi. He has skills we mere humans couldn't dream of possessing. Since we don't have as much magoi as a magi does, we have to use other methods to achieve this."

"Other methods?" Alibaba asked. 

Rashil cleared her throat. She sent Sinbad a death-glare.

The purple-haired womanizer shivered. "R-Rashil?"

The brunette impatiently tapped her foot on the ground. "Hello? My lesson. You can bombard him with your infinite wisdom once I'm done with him." She advanced on him, pointing an accusing finger. "Remember, you were the one who said that I should train him first." 

Sinbad's knees nearly gave out on him. "Y-yes, ma'am."

She stepped back. "Good." She turned back to Alibaba who was also shaking. She scoffed. "Geez, grow a pair, Uni!" 

Alibaba swallowed the lump in his throat and pushed down his need to shake out of his skin. He had to deal with her as his teacher for the day... "Y-yes ma'am!" 

Rashil rolled her eyes. "What's with all the 'ma'am'?" She shrugged and commanded him to get into a fighting stance. 

Alibaba's eyes widened. "Wait, right now?" 

His for-the-day teacher nodded with a smirk. "Yup. The Womanizer of the Seven Seas will go over all the boring magoi lingo afterwards, but right now, you and I are just gonna spar." She inhaled. A powerful light surrounded her for a split second. It was almost too bright for Alibaba to look at her, but it quickly faded. 

When it disappeared, Rashil looked almost completely different. Less like a girl and more like a woman. 

She was in full djinn equip.
