Chapter 17: Chapter 15: Duel of Two Sides Pt. V

March 18th, 2000 [Noon, Solo Ranks Arena]

It was noon. Naturally, I'd be at lunch with my friends. No. Not today. I had started a war between the North and East domains. So I had plenty of problems coming my way.

***

The room was filled with students. Every one of them heard the news. I and one other student stood on the platform. We drew our blades, glaring at one another. No matter how damn hard this fight may be.

I HAVE TO WIN!

He made the first move, a swift one at that. I quickly glanced at his stats. His speed was 50. He was quite slow. I had the advantage. His eyes glowing with an intent... the intent to kill. But why?

"You're done for kid!" He yelled as he got closer.

What is this feeling? The feeling of adrenaline? The same feeling I had when I faced Gabriel last night. He was finally in front of me. His blade aimed for my right arm.

"You're aiming for my arm," I said aloud. "Sorry but it's mine."

Clang!

I hit the sword out of his hands. Nothing else to protect him with. He was done for.

"Let me wrap this up for you."

I slashed at his chest. His uniform was cut in the shape of an X. Blood ran down from his chest and ruined the uniform. I could hardly hear due to the cheers of the crowd. But, I knew I had won.

"Who's next?" I asked confidently.

An older boy about the age of sixteen walked onto the platform. He was at least eight inches taller than me. I had to look up a bit to see his face.

"I'm gonna kill you. So might as well stop holding back!" He exclaimed.

His stats told me otherwise. His power and strength were in the mid-forties. Why is he talking to me like I was a kid? Now, I had no outside emotions other than winning. I didn't know when this war would be over, but I had to fight. There was no other way. The guy ran at me full speed, an ax in his left hand.

"Get over here kid! You're done for!"

I sighed as I sliced his right arm off his body. He swung the ax at my head.

Clang!

I parried it and cut an X shape in his chest. His eyes were wide. He was angry.

"You little-"

I pressed my blade against his neck. I stared at him. I could feel some sort of energy radiating off me.

"This is your time to forfeit. Or I'll have your head," I told him in a low but stern voice.

"Okay! Okay! I quit!" He pleaded.

I removed the blade from his neck 

"Then leave!" I shouted.

I looked around. It seemed no one wanted to go next. But as soon as I sheathed my sword.

"Me next!" A guy shouted.

I turned to face him. He smirked at me. His hair was decent length and blue. His eyes were the same color. He walked onto the platform. But he was different. His weapon was a bow.

"Heya! My name is Yajitaka Aoi!"

I have never heard of him. I checked his stats. He was in the same domain as me. So why did he wanna fight?

"I'm Hyuri Katsuyo."

I unsheathed my sword. I stood in my usual stance. My left hand in front of me and my right hand behind me, my legs the same. With the left one in front. He grabbed his bow from behind his back. He was interesting... I wonder who will win.

"Water Resonance: Tri-Shot!"

An arrow entirely made up of Water Aura formed in his hand. He shot it.

"It's only water."

I swung my sword and hit the arrow. But instead of it splattering it turned into two more. Those two hit my legs. There was one problem. They were solid. I could see a smirk forming on Yajitaka's face.

"What's so funny?" I asked him.

"My arrows are water yes. But since it's my Aura. So I can make it solid."

This fight was getting interesting. I ran at him with only one plan in mind. Slash and win!

"Wanna sword fight? Come on then!"

He snapped his bow in half. The two halves immediately transformed into swords. Heh. This'll be fun for sure. I leaped at him, my blade in position to strike down.

Clang!

Our swords collide. Sparks flying. I push him back slowly, but he didn't back down. A stalemate. Not for long though! I conjured a sword in my empty hand. I use my extra blade to knock me back and away from the stalemate.

"Bring it on!"

3rd Person POV

[12:18 PM, Drew Casey's Dorm]

Drew paced around the room thinking about how long the war would last. It could be a day or two. Three knocks struck the door. He wondered who it may be.

"Who is it?"

The door swung open. A girl with long pink hair stood. Valerie stood in front of the room. She walked in and slammed the door behind her.

"What's the news?" Drew asked her.

"That Katsuyo kid is insane. All of the guys you sent after him were taken down, and easily at that," she reported.

Just as he expected. This war wouldn't last long. Possibly only two more days.

"That sucks. All hyped up for no reason," he said. "We'll just have to send in a specialist. Someone who's beaten him before."

Valerie just stared at the floor. Something was brewing in her mind.

"Well, you may leave now, Valerie," he said as he faced the window.

She hesitated. Then, something flew across the room hitting Drew in the back of the neck.

Thud!

He collapsed. Valerie grinned. She scrambled around the room in search of something. But what? She kept looking. She looked in every drawer, and in every direction. She found it. A red-ish notebook.

"Now, time to deliver the package."
