Jamais Vu

Chapter 4: A Princess, A Knight, and Atlat

Commander: Okay place your bets. Who is going to win? Onreifni or Ycka?

It's been weeks since Onreifni's arrival, much has happened since that day. Although much of his past is still unknown, he has gained the trust of his teammates.

Glorisa: I don't like betting, but if I had to choose, I would pick Onreifni.

Jessachi: Come on, we all know Ycka wiped the floor with him last time. It's bound to happen again.

Briotami: Well, if you guys trained him as well as you said you did then he should have a fighting chance.

It was the end of the month, time to check on the progress of Onreifni's training. Ycka with a power level of 250 had powered up to 300. Onreifni was able to reach 200 so he was still pretty weak compared to Ycka.

Commander: There are 100 LU's of power between them, do you think he stands a chance?

Elder: Power levels aren't everything. In combat not only do you consider power levels but skill and experience as well.

Everyone was watching from the second floor as Onreifni and Ycka exchanged blows.

Ycka: Fire Art: Fireball!

Onreifni: Water Art: Water Wall!

Onreifni was able to counter everything that Ycka was throwing at him. Even with the power level gap between them, it seemed that they were evenly matched. All that training was paying off.

Commander: So far Onreifni isn't doing so bad.

Jessachi: Yes, it seems that his eyes are in sync with his fighting style.

Throughout the training Jessachi, Glorisa, and Briotami realized that his eyes not only affected his emotions but also his skills in combat. They determined that red eyes meant sadness and magic. Yellow eyes meant happiness/excitement and weapons. And lastly, the cold blue eyes meant anger and hand-to-hand combat.

Glorisa: Yes his eyes are able to change colors in the middle of the fight allowing him to change his fighting style.

Briotami: So it would seem. But we still don't know why, what caused him to have this "personality disorder".

Glorisa: Everyone look! *pointing at the arena*

Onreifni and Ycka were both panting and sweaty. They both had a sword in their hands, waiting for the right moment to strike the other. This was it, the victor would be the last one standing. They charged at each other and swung their swords.

Glorisa: *worried* Who do you think won?

Onreifni falls to one knee.

Jessachi: Looks like Ycka wins again...

As she said that Ycka collapsed to the ground. Everyone was shocked. Onreifni, even with the power level gap, was able to beat Ycka.

Briotami: He did it.

Onreifni: Got ya Ycka you bitch!

Commander: Well done Onreifni!

The Commander dismissed everyone to lunch except Onreifni. She wanted a private chat with him.

Commander: Good job Onreifni, see I knew you were able to pull it off.

Onreifni: Yeah? Well, thanks.

Commander: Unfortunately, Ycka was holding back...

Onreifni: What?!

Commander: Yup! Ycka can reach 500 LU's if he wanted, but I told him he wasn't able to pass 300 LU's for your sake.
