"So... What can we do Leafy?"
[I don't know, examine yourself first.]
"Alright."
[Examine]
Sachi looked at herself in the examination view. Since she hasn't touched the ground yet, her magic was orange, not the usual red.
"Alright Leafy. Got any thing?"
[I'll help you later.]
"wait wha?"
[I'll collect some more magic first.]
"Wait you can do that?"
[I'm literally nature, I can basically do any thing that has a connection with nature.]
"Alright fine, let me know when you're ready."
Sachi pulled out her sword with her left hand. She took a battle stance.
"Well hey there... How's the new clothes?"
Sachi said to her opponent in a very very casual way. It was like she was talking to some stranger in the streets. But again, no answer.
'Well... that was expected. I really need to befriend him though. Don't know why.'
Quick footsteps suddenly can be heard. Sachi's suddenly snapped from that long thought. She glanced at her front to see what's up with Rei.
He was running at Sachi ready to slash his sword at her.
It's hard to notice but if anyone looked closely at both Sachi's and Rei's sword, Rei's sword was slightly longer and slightly thicker. This meant that Rei had an advantage over power. Which also meant Sachi had the advantage over speed.
Back to the fight, Sachi stood there, patiently waiting for the "mildly angry" Rei to reach her. As he reached her, Rei slashed his sword at Sachi. Sachi blocked the attack swiftly.
'This force... is this really your full force?'
This slash wasn't as strong as the one from their first match. It was surprisingly easier to block.
But then, she noticed something that she should've noticed earlier. His magic was yellow.
'That's good... for me..'
Sachi deflected the sword at full force. As Rei was being knocked, she quickly to the chance to give the boy a few blows. Her movements were swift and fast, the crowd watched as she gave him the slashes.
Sounds of metal hitting each other can be heard around the field.
Five times she gave him the slashes, five times Rei blocked, five times Rei got more mad. Sachi inspected as Rei's magic compression changed color.
It went from yellow, to orange, to red. Isn't that unfair? He just collected more magic through Sachi hitting his sword. Is that even possible?
As Sachi watched in disbelief, Rei collected strength to slash at her. His sword glowed red as he collected strength.
"Stop examining."
She whispered to herself to avoid any misconception or misleading messages.
Rei slashed at Sachi with his full strength. Sachi quickly positioned her sword over her head to avoid getting slashed.
The glowing sword hit Sachi's block. It was stronger than his full force hit from their last match. Sachi struggled to hold his hit. She quickly evaded from the slash.
The sword slowly lost its glow.
'Okay.. now that's actually your strength.'
Sachi seemed tired from slashing and blocking. On the other side, Rei's magic changed color from red back to yellow. He also seemed exhausted from his last slash, maybe it was the effect of loosing too much magic in one moment.
"How are you doing?"
She tried to communicate again. But again, she didn't get an answer.
She then slashed at Rei 7 more times. the more times Rei received her slashes, the more times his magic grew. Most slashes he blocked, but one went through and scratched his shoulder.
Rei retaliated and slashed Sachi with his strength.
She blocked the slash.
In return, Sachi slashed more and more quickly.
This retaliation exchange between them kept on going. It seemed like this would never end. This exchange lead them to receive some bloody scratches at different moments in time.
It seemed like this will never end until they both slashed each other at the same time. Their swords hit each other, their force were the same. The battle paused in this moment.
"Hey uuhh... Rei? Could you just drop your sword?"
No answer.
But she did notice a small voice coming out of his mouth though. And his mouth was moving to.
"Rei?"
The voice became more noticeable as it became a small bit louder.
"Hey uhh... you good bud? Wat'chu talkin' 'bout?"
"i....ie...di....die...die..die..die.."
"Wait what?!"
"die..die..Die...DIe....DIE....DIE...DIE!...DIE!!DIE!DIE!DIE!"
He looked up as his eyes gleamed, leaving a trail of red in the air. His look was menacing, murderous.
She suddenly remembered a certain creature she hasn't seen before. A figure, with a giant fang, a menacing look on its face can be seen clearly. Though she never saw it, it looked familiar.
Then as Sachi was daydreaming, Rei's eyes glowed redder as he overpowered Sachi's strength and deflected her sword, knocking her back.
"What's wrong with you?!"
She landed on 2 feet a few meters back. But before she could even stand properly, Rei was already running towards her at full speed.
He readied a slash, positioning his sword at the right angle to hit Sachi and slice through her.
"Oh crap!"
She jumped back and evaded his slash. She then ran towards him and slashed at his sword, hoping to knock it off.
As the swords impacted, a loud metal clank can be heard in the fighting field. Her hope wasn't full filled, the sword was still on his hand, strongly gripped.
His face was in anger. His eyes gleamed red. His expression, murderous. An aura can be seen through Sachi's perspective and only her perspective. Its form was a black monstrous figure in a silhouette form.
"What's... with you...?"
Rei knocked her back and immediately pointed the sharp point of his sword at Sachi while running at her.
"Is he going... to.. murder me??"
She stood up and tried to block his launching attack. As Rei's sword impacted Sachi's, her sword shattered into small metallic pieces.
"Awwh crap! That didn't even last long!!"
Sachi quickly jumped back and tried to evade his launch. She dashed to the left but Rei immediately slashed that sword to the left.
Sachi dodged that slash, but in the process, she fell backwards.
She couldn't stand up as that would kill her, she couldn't roll back as she was in a position that didn't allow her to do so, she couldn't retaliate for her sword was already shattered, and she can't stop him since he won't listen.
"I'm screwed!!"
Rei launched his sword at Sachi, intending to stab her.
"Oh.... I'm... probably gonna die.... This is bad..."
