Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Episode 33: Blaze

 *Iah*

Lady Yeung returned with Azure, Xuán, Aoitsuki, Lei, Nyima, and her three children. Lei looked awful, his clothes had become charcoal colored and his hair was standing up oddly.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

Lei tried flattening his hair with his hands. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Why did you call us here?" Nyima said.

"How would you feel about battling us?" Lady Yeung said.

"Huh?" I said.

"You didn't hear her?" Kadriya said, returning from wherever he had gone off to. "We want to battle the four of you."

"One on one?" Azure asked.

"Well there's four kids on our side and five on your side so more like four versus five."

"Six," Hei corrected, switching back and forth between herself and her brother.

"Five, six, we can beat you," Solean said, grinning.

Vermillion scoffed. "Bring it. I'll take down that cry baby first."

"Zhuhong," I said.

Vermillion covered her mouth.

"Now, how about us?" I said. "Two on one?"

"You four will battle the two of us."

Lei's eyes sparkled. "Like Zhuhong said, bring it!"

"This is a good chance to see some light spells in action," Nyima said, grinning.

Adela grimaced. "Perhaps it would be better to sit this one out."

"Can't you fight with your eyes closed?" Lei asked.

"Yes, but it's like fighting with your hands tied behind your back. I won't be much help."

"Don't say that," I said, walking over to her. "I can guide you with my earth powers."

Adela took in a deep breath. "Fine, I'll join in too."

"Two woods, two fires, and two waters against four fires seems unfair, at least for two of us," Aoitsuki said.

"Not really," Xuán said. "Hei and I balance out your disadvantage."

"Not really," Solean said. "I have lightning on my side. Spa-"

"Don't!" Lei shouted, wringing his hands in the air. "Uh, you're not ready yet Solean."

Solean groaned. "Fine, but if things get tough I won't hold back!"

"We have to wait for Keanu and Koal to wake up though," Lady Yeung said, staring at her unconcious sons. Lei sat Koal down next to the latter's older brother. The mother touched her child's forehead. "Light renewal!"

Nyima's eyes were concentrated on Lady Yeung's spell. Was she trying to see if she could learn it on her own? If she did then we would end up having problems in the Mahoulympics.

"Mommy? Teacher?" Keanu said, opening his eyes. "What is going on? Why is everyone here?" His eyes widened. "Don't tell me I nearly died."

"Nah, you're fine," I said. "You simply fainted after exhausting yourself."

"Same goes for you, Koal," Lei said, snickering.

"These kids remind me of a certain someone," Nyima said, rolling her eyes at Lei.

"Is there really a need for a misdirect when it's so obvious who you speak of?" Adela asked, giggling.

Nyima chuckled. "True."
