It was a cool summer morning in the quiet town of Solaris while I was walking down the street absorbed in my phone. Another boy runs up to me yelling my name at me.
"Ace!" the boy yells.
"Ow Blade that was my ear!" I responded with a shout.
"Yea I know but aren't you excited it's our first day Arcania we finally get to train to be wizards!" Blade exclaimed.
"Yea but you know how I feel about using my magic." I answered.
"C'mon are you still hung over about the last time you used your magic." Blade retorts semi-annoyed.
"Yea I hurt a lot of people man I need to learn how to control my magic." I reply.
They start walking and talking about all the things they would do when they get to Arcania Blade continues to complain about how Ace won't use his magic. Before they knew they arrived at the front gate of Arcania . In front of the gate they saw a way too familiar girl.
"What took you guys so long I've been here since 7:15 waiting for you too." the girl exclaims.
"Sorry Rose sleeping beauty over here didn't wake up till like 7:30. Blade replied
"Whatever lets go were gonna be late for our the entrance ceremony" Rose complains. And with that the trio walks into the school that they been working all there lives to get into. The ornate halls of Arcania are fill with the red ,black and gold banners of the item type mages and the green, purple and silver banners of the element type mages. Ace, Blade, and Rose continue walking until they enter an arena of sorts. across from them stand another trio. A guy no more then 5'4 with blonde hair with a single tuft of blue and a small athletic girl standing at 5'2 with hair of a scarlet red at the exterior and a lush green as the interior. Standing in the middle is a guy about a year older then the other 2 based on his uniform with pitch black hair with bright red highlights with eyes as purple as amethysts.
"I take it you're our examiners" says Rose.
"Examiners?" Blade interjects confused.
"Oh come on Blade weren't you paying attention during any of the assemblies over the summer we need to beat the examiners in one on one combat to truly be in Arcania" Rose continues. "Its obvious that these 3 are our examiners so are you 3 gonna introduce yourselves or are we gonna have to guess."
" I'm Dengoku" says the blonde guy to the right.
"You can call me Pyra." chimes the girl to the left.
"And I'm Draag."interjects the leader in the middle. "So the battles will be held 1 on 1 first one to concede loses alright." We all agreed and the battles begin the first went as we expected Blade won in an instant the second battle was extremely close with Leaf just barely beating Pyra. Thus came the match every one was waiting for Dengoku Vs. myself.
"You know you can just forfeit I've heard you haven't used magic since you were 8 when you accidently killed your entire village." Dengoku smugly declared.
"No I'll fight." I retort. With that the fight commences.
"Partial Spirit Release, Low Tier Holy movement spell Meteor!" Dengoku yells with all his fury and excitement. He shoots towards me at a ridiculous speed. I take a deep breath close my eyes and take a fight position. As he throws his first punch I take one small step forward catch his punch and throw him over my shoulder.
Draag glares daggers at Blade. "How did he catch Dengoku's punch and throw him over while Dengoku had the Meteor spell with one move and his eyes closed!" Draag shouts.
"The Kai Ten style Martial arts developed by the village to fight mages bare handed without magic due to the fact that everyone born in this village didn't have magic they needed a way to defend themselves." Blade calmly replies. And with that the match continued. Deus kept coming at me from all angles slowly getting faster till kai ten couldn't keep up. He started to do more and more severe damage till I was bleeding on the ground at the edge of the arena when I hear a voice in my head tell me to say a certain phrase and imbue as much mana into it as possible. So I slowly get up with every ounce of my willpower.
"Oh still able to stand are we Ill end this with this next strike." Dengoku says. Before he can move though I start put out as much mana as I can and shout the phrase.
"ULTIMATE SPIRIT RELEASE!!!"I scream with everything I have. My outfit goes up in azure flames and instead of my hoodie and sweatpants I'm in a red, gold and black lightly armored magician's outfit with a matching top hat and a gold and black mask. " I call upon the 7th of the 21 Major Arcana, Chariot!" With that my speed sky rockets and I move so fast nobody even sees me move." By the time I became visible again all my wounds were healed.
"How is this possible!" Dengoku shouts at me in confusion.
"I don't know but I can feel power surging within me." I reply smugly. I hold out my left hand and an ethereal deck of cards appears it I draw the top 5 cards look at them and make the rest of the deck vanish. "I finally understand my magic." I say half smiling - half crying. I look at Dengoku and steel myself. "Lets end this" I say courageously. As Dengoku and I run toward each other I draw 1 of the 5 cards I drew before out of thin. "I activate my first card Super tier item spell Daggers of Oblivion. With that twin daggers made of black and purple darkness mana appear in my hands and I speed up and slash an x across his chest as I pass him. Then I turn around and pull another card. " And with this ill end it Ultra tier fire spell Supernova." A massive fiery implosion engulfs Dengoku and when it subsides Dengoku is barely clinging to life. " I guess I win" I said as I walked over to him and pulled one more card. "Divine tier healing spell Absolute recovery." Within seconds his wounds heal and he gets up Pyra runs over and hugs him.
"I hate to admit it but you 3 pass" Draag says
"Oh yeah!!" the 3 of us scream as we high five each other. Before anything else can be said my spirit release abruptly cancels out and I collapse right there on the ground.
