Sachi closed her eyes in fear, hoping somebody would help.
*Clank!!*
A metal sound can be heard across the field. Sachi didn't feel any pain, she didn't feel impact.
"Wait... what?"
She opened her eyes, curious to see what happened.
She saw leaves, silver leaves. The leaves were stuck together, as if glued together. They were formed as a shield in front of her.
'Wait how? I didn't even use Leafy?'
[I stopped him with my leaves. Use your sheath.]
"What?"
[Your sheath is made of hardened leaves, use them and block his strike. I'll revert the leaves back.]
"O... okay.. fine.."
She took the sheath and placed it below the strike zone which was indicated by a green leaf by Leafy.
The hardened leaves reverted back to normal leaves, allowing Rei to pierce the leaves. His strike was blocked by Sachi's leaf sheath, just like Leafy said.
Rei raised his sword to collect strength. Sachi took this chance to roll left and stand up straight. When Rei forcefully launched the sword down, she had already been gone. She reverted the leaf shield into normal leaves.
[Examine]
She looked at her hand, hoping her magic was red. As she hoped, it was already red.
She raised her hand and did a small spell.
[Leaf Boost]
The leaves from behind her spun around her. It created a wind force around her. The spin from the leaves lent magic to Sachi, boosting her speed and strength. The leaves that kept spinning around her indicated that the spell was active.
She saw Rei stood up, with a angry expression on his face.
"He is mad...."
Rei ran towards Sachi at full speed ready to slash at any moment.
Meanwhile, outside the fighting field where the crowd was, the students all were confused.
"Didn't he already won?"
"What's he doing now?"
"That jerk wants to murder the new girl!"
"Your're right! They must be stopped!"
Some students ran over to the other side of the barrier. They talked to Angel and asked her to stop them. But she declined their request.
"I wanna see what happens next. If anything goes wrong then I'll stop them. I know this won't go wrong though.", Angel declined
"That girl is suffering Headmaster!! Just stop them!"
Some girl said to Angel, complaining that if she doesn't stop the fight, both sides will probably suffer.
"What the heck Headmaster??!! How could you know this won't go wro-"
"After all, I watched their fight yesterday.", Angel cut his question. This statement made them stop complaining.
"Go back and watch the fight, I know you will be curious of what happens next."
Both students went back to the crowd and told the others that Angel wanted to see what happens next.
Back to the fight, Sachi hardened a leaf wall in front of her just as Rei was about to slash. She ran back and shot some leaves on Rei.
Rei slashed the leaf wall and got scratched by some mach speed leaves. He bled from the several scratches that he got.
Rei turned his head and looked at Sachi. Sachi was a little bit scared by his maniac-crazy-angry-mad expression. Her fear lead her to shoot more leaves at him.
None of them hit him.
"Leafy I need assistance."
[Leaf Barrage]
The leaves behind Sachi scattered around in front of her. Then they shot themselves at Rei.
Rei was ready to slash the leaves at any moment. As the leaves got closer, Rei slashed his sword on one of the leaves. It was cut in half.
But suddenly, without warning, the sliced leaf exploded. the other leaves got affected and they exploded.
"Woah! I can do that?"
[Yes, technically..]
Rei was knocked back by the explosion while the smoke was still thick. A few seconds pass after he got knocked back, before more leaves blasted through the smoke.
Rei ran around the red side of the field, letting the leaves chase him around.
"You seem to be one scaredy cat."
Sachi called him for running around the blue side.
A few seconds went by and finally he ran to the blue side, towards Sachi and straight at her he ran.
As he got close, Sachi made a wall in front of her to protect her.
"Harden!!" She shouted.
The wall of leaves hardened right in front of her.
Rei pushed the wall and decided to push himself with his feet using the wall back. He became airborne for some seconds.
He proceeded with slashing one of the leaf, slicing it. The leaf exploded, creating more explosions and thick smoke.
Sachi coughed from her own smoke. Her area was full of smoke, light can barely pierce the thick smoke wall.
"*cough cough* Apparently you had a strategy to *cough* do this?"
Then she felt a small cold breeze around her back hair. She became alerted and ducked down.
Great timing, since suddenly, a *swoosh* can be heard above her. She suspected it was a sword swoosh, but she wasn't sure.
Because she still had leaf boost active, she quickly reverted the wall back into leaves and swiftly ran to the front, towards the red side.
"Leafy, Examine!", she whispered.
[Examine]
Her magic, as she saw, was yellow. Which was bad sign since she needed magic to not die of exhaustion.
"Could you collect magic for me? I've got one thing I need to try."
['Kay. How much do you want?]
"As much as possible since I have never tried this."
Her leaf boost was deactivated and the leaves scatter around the school to collect magic from anything, which left Sachi helpless.
While Leafy was gone, she spoke to herself.
"jeezz.. you talk like me now....Almost.."
She whispered to herself.
She then proceeded to run towards the smoke.
Meanwhile, in the crowds,
"Oh God what the heck?"
"She wants a death wish or something?"
"The new girl ran with no weapons in hand?"
"Idiotic move! She would die!"
The girls' side spoke to each other. Confused on why why did such acts of foolishness. said it was like an act of death wish, at it seemed like that at first.
But as Sachi went closer, the smoke suddenly disappeared and Rei became visible, with his red glowing sword.
Then Rei ran towards Sachi ready to slash, again.
But when they were 5 meters away from each other, Sachi jumped, clapped her hands one time, and then touched the ground.
"I don't know if this will work or not!!"
She shouted to herself.
As Rei went closer, nothing interesting happened to the self-talking Sachi. He raised his sword and slashed at her from top to bottom.
Rei smirked like a villain as he slashed at her, sure of her death.
But in his slashing process, suddenly the ground glowed green. Before he noticed it, one giant glowing leaf came out of the ground and blocked the slash.
The spectators saw this and they went wild.
"Holy crap that was awesome!"
"No way! she can do that?"
"She had yellow magic though, how did she do that?!"
"She just clapped and that happened?"
True though, the other students had never saw any of this magic skill before.
Sachi was happy that the magic worked. She had the idea in mind for one reason:
'I suddenly remembered one man clapping and doing some magic'
So she followed her memories and did almost exactly the same thing.
After that, she was extremely exhausted and dizzy. She was basically in green magic capacity. It was possible for her to still be conscious though, the fight boosted her adrenaline. If she wasn't in a fight, she would probably be unconscious right then in there.
"I... need magic.."
She whispered to herself.
Then she looked around in exhaustion while Rei charged his weapon with magic, in a smirking expression. Then she noticed one thing she should've noticed earlier. The giant leaf shield disappeared into thin air.
Around the translucent border, there seemed to be a very very thin brown spot beside it in the field. And in that moment when she noticed it, her adrenaline boosted more in a magical sense.
"That's dirt! That's dirt!!!"
She quickly stood up and ran towards the brown spot near the barrier.
Rei tried to slash her but even the exhausted Sachi was too fast for his slash. At long last, she finally touched the dirt and regained all of her magic.
"Leafy come back!"
She called for it. 2 leaves came back quicker than she thought they would.
[I have some extra magic so might as well do something with it.]
"Barrage him like you did before."
['Kay I'll call for more leaves]
"Wait! No wasting magic on real leaves, I've got me some leaves."
She touched the ground with both hands, the ground glowed green. 10 glowing leaves came out of the ground.
"This way we aren't actually wasting any magic to maintain Kir connection with real leaves."
[Yeah but that way, If there aren't any real leaves, you can't actually absorb magic from anything.]
"Just use the fake leaves, let the real leaves stay but use the fake leaves to attack."
[That's fine]
The fake leaves shot themselves at Rei, he was already ready to slash them.
As the leaves went near, Rei swiftly ran towards them and attempted to slash them. But as he slashed them, the leaves instantly exploded without delay, even though the slash only touched them and it didn't even cut through yet. But this explosion didn't create any smoke, only a blast.
Rei got blasted back far. He quickly ran to Sachi to slash her.
Sachi took this chance to summon more leaves by touching the ground.
"Leafy, why don't you call more leaves with your magic while I summon leaves using my magic?"
[Fair enough]
As Rei got very close to her, she summoned a glowing gigantic leaf in front of her. Rei was ready for this, for this reason he didn't charge his sword. He slashed at the leaf wall using only his power.
The impact lead him to get his sword to bounce back. He charged his sword while Sachi prepared many many leaves behind her.
Rei slashed his sword down at Sachi, thinking she wouldn't expect it. She didn't expect it, but Leafy's helping hand blocked the charged slash using hard and thick wall of leaves.
Rei's slash was stuck inside the wall, he can't pull it out.
"Take his sword and break it!"
The leaf wall moved and encased Rei's sword. Some of Sachi's leaves shot themselves towards Rei's body to blast him back.
But before the leaves reached him, Sachi looked at his face.
"Why are you... crying..?"
He was crying, dropping tears to the ground. Only Sachi noticed this though since she was so close to him.
The leaves blasted him back, making him fall.
"Is it over yet? Could you give up? You were crying kid."
Oh how Sachi wanted this fight to end.
