Elemental Magic (Discontinued)

Chapter 15- Shocking News

I draw my sword but the blade is to slow against daggers so I might as way just dodge, parry, and block just so I don't touch those blades but it would help if I had practice. She manages to cut the side of my arm which sends a large amount of voltage through my body, but I use the shock to propel my self back away from her, but I can still feel the lightning in my body. Hope is trying to help but she is keeping her distance from Jessie, I won't blame her, that small cut hurt way more than it was supposed to. Jessie has a look on her face that makes me nervous so I rush on the offensive trying to move faster so I mutter "neo fire " just to get at least some advantage over her but she still won't let my blade get near her.

I need some thing to even the odds then it hits me I know lightnings weakness, metal. So I jump back and just as I thought she would she throws a ball of lightning at me so I hit it with my sword and absorb the lightning to bring both the power of fire and lightning on her, she blocks the blow with both her daggers and her daggers become red with heat and she drops them.

"Okay lets face it nether one of us can win this battle, let's call it a draw" she is gasping for air and so are we."why don't we get that ice cream you guys were talking about, my treat"

I just give a thumbs up and clasp on the floor, Hope sits next to me and and Jessie sits next to her.

"that was awesome, where did you learn to fight like that, because using lightning and fire against me, I have never seen anyone ever do that" Jessie seems so excited that she is almost yelling.

"come on you got to teach me how you do that, find away to even the odds." Hope is also so excited that she is almost jumping on me, while I'm still laying on my back staring at the ceiling.

"lets go get that ice cream, my mom owns the shop down the street, we can eat there" I say as I get up. They just fallow me out the door.

at the ice cream shop

"Andrew honey, it's good to see you, who are your friends?" my mom asks as she hugs me.

" this is Hope and Jessie" I say as I introduce them.

" well it's lovely to meet you both, now what can I get you." my mother asks

"cookie dough please" Hope says 

"peanut butter cups please" Jessie says right behind me.

"ice cream sandwich please" I finally say

" alright coming right up, you go find a seat, I'll bring it to you" she tells us as she starts putting them together.

we sit down in the corner of the store and my mom brings us our ice cream.

Jessie takes a bite of hers and says "So I heard that there is going to be another attempt to go to the second floor of the labyrinth, I might come this time, I got to make sure nothing happens to anyone else"

Hope almost dropped her ice cream when Jessie said that. 

" there is gonna be a lot of other mages coming this time just to get a glimpse of your boy here" Jessie points at me.

"me, why do they want to see me?" I ask her

"because you went down to the 50th floor and didn't get taken by the darkness. The deeper you go the harder it is to resist it, hell I almost went insane just from the 25th floor, that's where I found Regulus Thunder, the founder of Thunder Cloud High." Jessie takes another bite.

"wow I had no idea, that that could happen, I mean I didn't even feel a pull from the darkness, it's almost like the darkness was ignoring me while I was down there." I say looking at her.

"just another reason they want to meet you" she looks at her ice cream with a bored look. "well good luck, see you two in a couple days" she throws the rest in her mouth and heads back to the school.
