Calamity Academy

Mason VS Scourge - Ch.7

"And the opposing contestant is... Mason?"

The crowd mutters.

"Isn't that the kid who just transferred here?"

"How did he place top already?"

"It took me 2 months to do that how did he do it in 2 weeks?" 

"I guess he's just a fast learner."

"Yeah I guess so."

Mason was surprised, he never expected to be the top student. Suddenly he saw a bright flash and when he looked he was in the middle of the arena.

Yvonne speaks. "Now let the first tournament of this semester... Begin!"

Scourge didn't waste anytime trying to study Mason as he seemingly materialized a bow from air and draws it.

Mason was still surprised by him being chosen that he didn't notice that an arrow was flying towards him.

*Shock*

"Ow! That hurt!" Says Mason as he draws out his staff. It was an old staff he got from adventuring the many caves in the Deep Caverns. The staff was made from platinum and has a large diamond the size of Masons eye embedded on the top. Mason points the staff towards Scourge and gathers his energy onto the diamond, but before he could finish casting another arrow hit him. Mason staggers back as the arrow hits him in the head, shocking him.

"Okay. That's it." Mason says as he points the staff straight at Scourge and shoots. The staff produced a small white orb that traveled quite fast and as it hit Scourge, disarmed him of his bow. Mason casted his staff again causing Scourge to get knocked onto his back. "Why did you hit me? I thought we were friends?" Says Mason.

"Sure we were." Says Scourge while picking up his bow. "But it took so long for me to get to 2B, and you caught up so quick. How? How? How did you do it? Tell me. TELL ME NOW!" Scourge drew another arrow and shot it at Mason but Mason easily dodged.

"You look a little dehydrated there Scourge." Mason says solemnly as he draws out a light blue book. "Maybe you should cool off for a bit." Mason opens the book and chants the spell hidden inside as a bolt of frost shoots out from his hand and hits Scourge.

As it hits, Scourges body suddenly felt so cold. Then it was as if he couldn't move his arms and body. Scourge was now a popsicle.

There was silence and then an applause.

Yvonne stands up and gets on the podium. "And the victor is: Mason! The Desert Scourge has been defeated!" Yvonne says enthusiastically.

...

"So what would you like?" Says Yvonne as she shows a list of Scourges belongings. As Mason read them only one thing came to mind: The Storm Spray. Apparently was a magic weapon so Mason chose that. Once he got it he shot it across the arena to see what it looks like. It fired an arc of dark murky water that rained down streams of it as it fired.

"Yeah, I'll keep this one." Says Mason, putting away the scepter. Mason could see the stretcher Scourge was on that carried him into the hospital.

"Don't you forget about this you hear? I'll be back! I'LL BE BACK!"
Scourge screams as he's being carried out of eyesight of Mason.

...

Mason was tired. Like really tired, and there he was laying in an infirmary bed to prove it. He never casted two different spells in a set time frame. Not to mention his head was dizzy from the shock he got from an arrow to the head. "Man, I never knew casting magic could hurt so bad." Says Mason, but no-one was in the room with him. Or atleast what you could see. "I know you're there Mister." Mason says with a playful tone. Suddenly a voice laughs and a figure could be seen on the other side of the room. The figure had a robe on decorated with silver scales and blue and purple gems. It also had a hood covering its face so Mason couldn't see who it was.

"Aww man, how did you see me?" Says the figure, hands on its hips.

"I just have an eye for these kinds of things." Mason says while getting up from the bed. "So why are you visit me?" Mason scrunched up his eyebrows. "To congratulate me on beating up my friend? You student council really know how to set things up without suspicion. I guess you guys don't really like people from Otherworld in the Academy. Now do you Devon."

Devon had to laugh to this one. He took his hood off to reveal his warm ivory skin, blue eyes, and silver hair. "I guess so, but it wasn't me who chose this it was Him and Scarlett." Devon smiles. "You should rest. You have a long year ahead of you." Says Devon as he walks out the door, but he stops, smiles and looks at Mason and says one sentence: "Don't get cocky kid." And walks away.
