CHAPTER 12
Crystal: Hm...
[Crysta narrowed her eyes at the transparent screen made of spirit magic, in it, was Aiden's battle with the girls and after an explosion occurred the screen went blank. Yes no one saw what happened after his flames hit them]
Announcer: The first team to bring back a Crystal is... Team Calliope followed by Team Areli.
Announcer: As soon as we get four crystals we'll put up a time limit of 1 hour, So Candidates you'd better hurry!
Calliope: Looks like your team made it out unscathed.
Areli: Why would they need to get scratched? They aren't weak. But one of your members, Ahana sky will seem to have fought someone quite strong, her armor looks muddy.
Calliope: Even the strongest warriors can't go into battle without getting cut.
Areli: ... Or maybe.... your teammates were weak, hmph.
[She giggled.]
Calliope: If I were to go into this search, your team wouldn't even have made it back.
Areli: Ho? You would have sabotaged us? How low of you coldherten.
Calliope: Think whatever you want, Even if you know that if we were allowed to participate, we both would have taken each other out.
Areli: I most definitely would aim for your neck.
[She muttered]
Areli: At Least let's enjoy the show, Calliope, we can't afford to miss the man who saved your life, he's quite the mischief maker.
Calliope: ...
[They looked up at the screen floating above.]
Crysta: Why is he shirtless?
Aiden: Yo, Crysta! Can you help me put Tanya in some Ice?
[Instead of on the screen Aiden could be seen running towards her face to face]
Crysta: Why are you here?!
[She said in an annoyed tone]
Aiden: Oh, er, I didn't want Tanya to spoil and I couldn't keep moving without a shirt so I came to ask for two things.
1) Please freeze Tanya
2) Help me with a new outfit
Crysta: *Sigh* if I grant those two requests will you get back in the game and take it seriously?
[Her face was expressionless but her annoyance could still be felt]
Aiden: Sure.
Crysta: Fine.
Aiden: Yay, hehe.
[She used her magic to create a new outfit for him. she made him a black long sleeve shirt and a red blazer with some black designs on his collars and sleeves, on his lower half he wore black pants and dark leather shoes.]
Aiden: Wow, this is even better than my old outfit, thanks, sis.
Crysta: Just get a crystal.
Aiden: Will do.
[He left.]
Areli: I thought you possessed Ice magic?
[Crysta glanced at her the stared back at the screen ignoring her]
Areli: Ignoring me are we? If you're not planning on taking school seriously you can be my tailor.
[Crysta kept ignoring her]
Aiden's POV:
Now...time to find Charles!
I went deeper into the forest looking for him, till I enter a foggy bog.
Aiden: Charles, I know you're here, come out, there's something I want to ask you.
Charles: What do you want peasant?
Aiden: Hiding while letting girls do tell work? Pathetic, heh, you've got zero balls.
Charles: I've many two thanks for asking. And You killed them, didn't you? I can't sense their magic anymore and their seals are broken, which means they're dead.
Aiden: ...
Charles: And I wanted to get more "Use" out of them, Hahaha.
Aiden: How...How old were they?
Charles: Hehe, Why do you ask? Wanna see if you can get one as well?
Aiden: Answer me, poser, how old were they?
Charles: 16, And my goodness were they were ripe. You know, once you take away their free will they'll submit to anything you ask... Anything.
[He smirked]
Aiden: ...
Charles: Have you ever done it with a 16-year-old demi-human?They feel amazing!
Aiden: Hehe, I guess virgin ol' me wouldn't understand that, Why a 30-year-old would do 16-year-olds and I hope I never understand...And take off that damned disguise, It's pissing me off.
Charles' POV:
How did he guess my age?!
[Charles may look older but to enter this school the maximum age is 18, Aiden said "30" out of the blue which caused a slight discomfort to Charles]
Charles: You could tell it's a disguise, huh? Wonderful! I was getting tired of this form anyway.
[He took off an amulet he was wearing and returned to his normal form, a tall man in his early thirties, with a beard, who dressed in all black wearing a brown cloak.]
[Aiden looked at his transformation indifferently.]
Aiden: I'm guessing you're name's not Charles either?
Charles: It's Clay.
Aiden: Cool name not gonna lie.
Clay: Now that you know my identity I can't let you leave here alive.
Aiden: ...
[He pulled out two guns from his cloak both revolvers and pointed them at Aiden.]
Clay: Gun magic user.
Aiden: Gun magic? Doesn't this count as armament magic or weapon creation?
[He aimed the gun at Aiden's head]
Clay: Sorry Kid you've gotta die, nothing personal.
[He shot at Aiden's head...]
BANG~~~
.
.
.
.
Aiden: You know I've always wondered when someone says "Nothing personal" is that supposed to be relieving? Am I supposed to be at ease that you're about to kill me but you couldn't help it?
[....But Aiden easily caught the bullet with his fingers]
Clay: Hmph, you can catch these?
Aiden: Were they supposed to be fast?
Clay [Said with a smirk]: This kid...
Aiden: You know what? I'm glad that you were about to kill me, now I can try out some fire spells I couldn't try on regular people.
Clay: You think you can win?
Aiden: Try me.
[Aiden narrowed his eyes at clay.]
[Clay took a step back]
Clay: You're going to be a strong opponent that I can tell, before we start I have a habit of properly introducing myself in front of people like you.
Aiden: And if I don't wanna hear it?
Clay: Then I'll make you hear it.
Clay: [Gun magic: Letter B: Bomb bullet]
[Clay shot at him but Aiden tilted his head to dodge it, the bullet hit the ground and a massive explosion occurred behind Aiden]
Aiden: What was that?! (Tch, I'm legitimately pissed at this guy but his magic is sorta cool that I'm losing my edge.)
Aiden: Fine, Fine I'll listen, give me your crappy intro.
Clay: See, I told you I'd convince you, heh... The name's Clay Manchester, bounty Hunter, and assassin, pleased to make ya acquaintance.
Aiden: I guess it would be rude not to reply, I'm Aid--
Clay: Aiden brightfil, fire magic user from sheates, two parents, two younger siblings, possesses an extremely high amount of magic power even though born in a poor region, Age: 17, your hair color is weird, black hair with red tips?
Aiden:You know that much about me?
Clay: Not just you, I did my research on everyone at this exam, and I'm about to carry a plan that'll make me very rich.
Clay's POV:
It's actually one of my skills, Truth seeker. I can know many things about a person by just looking.
Aiden: Is it really a smart idea to tell me that? I'm not bright myself but I'm not dumb either.
Clay: You're about to die anyway, at least you get to know what you died for.
[Aiden appeared behind Clay]
Aiden: You said something about me dying?
Clay: Huh?!
[Aiden gave Clay a light tap to the back, Clay flew in an arc and crashed into a tree]
Aiden: That was easier than I expected.
.
.
.
Clay: Nice work killing my dummy, brightfil.
[A voice came from behind the tree]
Aiden: You should have been the one to take that Tap dummy. I don't think I can hold back any more than I did with that dummy, dummy.
Clay: Then I'll level the playing field.
[He looks up]
Clay: Ah, looks like it's ready!
[Gun magic: Letter A: Anti-magic field]
[He shot his bullet into the air, it exploded then the whole sky turned red.]
Aiden: What...did you just do?
