Commentator 1: "Welcome to the official battle everyone! I am your host for today's match, Gloria Raven! And next to me is my Commander, please introduce yourself!"
Commentator 2: "Thank you Gloria! I am a veteran Commander, my name is Bill! It is nice to see new Valkyrie and new Commanders! This takes us back when we were in their shoes doesn't it?"
Gloria: "That is right Commander! Now let us take a look at these guys and see how this match plays out!"
"Nina, push through and take out his kitsune in the back! I don't know what she does but I am not taking any chances!"
"Mihara keep your distance from her and watch out for his other Valkyrie, she may be some kind of magic user or support!"
Nina charges forward with a Great shield without any resistance at first but then notices Cheshire dashing around with speed, she kicks Nina's legs then dashes away.
"Stupid cat." Nina waits for Cheshire to get closer again, Cheshire attacks from behind and tries to kick her in the backside of her legs, Nina is aware of what she is doing and turns around to bash her with the shield, Cheshire goes flying 30 feet away. After a few seconds she gets back up and dashes away. "Oh the cat is tough, this should be fun."
Bill: "Ouch that is gonna leave a mark! Cheshire took a direct hit from Nina's Great Shield! And walked away or should I say dashed away like a champ!"
Gloria: "That is right Commander Bill! She took some damage from that hit but it wasn't enough to take her down, now that is a cat with 9 nines!"
Bill: "Truer words have never been spoken, Now let's look at Mihara and what she is up to."
Gloria: "To me it looks like she is running and trying to keep her distance from Nina, that is a good action to take for the moment but she needs to watch out for Ana."
Mihara runs toward the other side of the arena at the end where the pond is. She stops to catch her breath, she should be far enough from Nina."
"Ana now!" Ana absorbs Mana from Nork and casts a magic spell that requires no incantation to cast. "Fireball!" she hurls a small ball of flames towards Mihara.
"Mihara jump into the water!" Mihara jumps into the water barely dodging the fireball, her tail catches on fire and quickly dips it into the pond. She is soaking wet and massaging her tail after getting it slightly burnt for a few seconds.
Gloria: "Quick thinking from Commander Mason! Her poor tail did get burnt a bit though but she managed to avoid it!"
Bill: "That is right Gloria! It seems Commander Nork is a bit mad because he just wasted 1 point of Mana as a member of the Royal Bloodline he gets a whopping 5 points of Mana! Now I wonder what the next move for Commander Mason, shall he retaliate with Mana as well or does he have something else up his sleeve!"
"Ana again!" Ana absorbs Mana from Nork and casts the Fireball skill again. Mihara just ducks and swims underneath the water. "You idiot couldn't you wait until she was out of the water!"
"But Commander Nork, you said t-"
"Shut up! I am going to be the best Commander that has ever lived and not even you will stop me! So help me Goddess if you lose to her!"
Gloria: "Oof and there goes another point of his Mana, wasted again, maybe he should have waited until Mihara was out of the pond?"
Bill: "Indeed, Commander Nork isn't making the best decisions right now, he needs to get his thinking straight or he might end up using all his Mana and losing the match!"
"You are doing a great job Mihara! Now try to get close to her and take her down, remember your CQC training with Nirvana you can do this!
"Yes Commander!"
Mihara gets out of the pond and starts running toward Ana, holding her Staff tightly, just as she is moving forward and making progress, a really fast object flies past her face barely missing her. It scares Mihara as she freezes in place for a moment.
Bill: "Holy Goddess did you see that!"
Gloria: "I sure did, it looks like Nina threw her Great Shield at Mihara, almost hitting her!"
"Tsk. Dammit I missed." Cheshire kicks her leg while she is distracted, she manages to stumble and lose balance falling on one knee. She kicks her in the side of the head while she is down and tries to connect another kick but Nina blocks the second attack. Cheshire dashes away as Nina stands back up. "This stupid cat is getting on my nerves."
Gloria: "It looks like Nina is finally taking a beating! She is gonna need a couple of icepacks when this is over!"
Bill: "Speaking of ice, let's take it away to our Sponsors for todays match IceyDicey. Get your cold ice when you need to dice!"
"Stupid fox is done for now, there is no way she can dodge her at this range. Ana again!" Ana absorbs Mana from Nork and casts fireball but she fails to cast the skill. "What just happened!"
"Mihara take her down!"
"Yes Commander!" Mihara runs up to Ana punching her in the stomach, she grabs her head with one hand and knees her in the jaw, then whacks her on the head with her staff. Ana falls to the floor and becomes unconscious.
Gloria: "Dear Goddess what a play from Commander Mason!"
Bill: "Commander Nork didn't see it coming, let's watch that replay! As Ana was casting her fireball it was canceled out by Mihara's race ability Benevolence this would allow her to cancel out any single damage skill such as the fireball! This was literally check and mate for Ana, she had no way of countering a skill like that!
Gloria: "It looks like Commander Nork is down to one Valkyrie and she doesn't even have her shield on hand either since she threw it!"
Cheshire dashes forward to kick Nina's legs again and again, until she falls down on both knees this time. She uses this chance to directly hit her as hard as she can in the face. Mihara runs toward them to assist Cheshire, Nork smiles and yells to Nina.
"Now Nina!" Nina Absorbs Mana from Nork. "Return!" Nina's Great Shield flies back to Nina's location hitting Mihara in the back of the head, causing her to fall face first on the ground. Just as Cheshire strikes her face with a punch, Nina grabs Cheshire's wrist, on the other hand she takes the Great Shield. "Hahaha I got you, you dumb cat!"
Nina hits Cheshire with the side of her Great Shield in her gut, as she falls to the floor Nina bashes her shield on Cheshire's entire body causing the ground behind her to leave a small crater. Just as Nina is about to claim victory, Nork surrenders.
Gloria: "And the winner is...Commander Mason!"
That is right, while Nina was busy fighting Cheshire and Mihara defeated Ana, Mason decided to enter the arena and go behind enemy lines. Once he got close to Nork he started beating him up and broke his nose. He told him he would not stop until he surrendered.
Bill: "This has never happened before, in all my years of commentating in matches, this is the first time I see a Commander take the fight to the Commander!"
Gloria: "That is correct but was this move even legal to do? Let's see what the Goddess Luna thinks of this."
Everyone gets quiet and stares at the Goddess to see what she has to say about this victory. She says nothing and just nods to approve of the win. After that she gets up and walks out of the Assembly Hall.
"And the winner is...Commander Mason!" said the Announcer.
Gloria: "There you have it folks! Commander Mason has won the match!
Bill: "I got to say I never seen a tactic like that before, it reminds me of the Legendary Commander when he used to attend this school! He also made a strange move to win his first fight!"
Gloria: "Indeed, well that is all folks, thank you for joining us in this amazing battle! Have a great rest of the day everyone!"
"Tsk. Well whatever." said Nina.
Mason runs to Mihara and Cheshire to check if they are okay. They both are injured but get up to hug their Commander.
"We did it Commander!" said Mihara rubbing the back of her head.
"That is right, you both did amazing, I am proud of you girls!"
"Cheshire is gonna take a long nap after this Meowster!" said Cheshire.
"Take as long as you need Cheshire, both of you earned it!" said Mason.
Camellia came running towards them, hugging Mihara and Cheshire. "Congrats you two, you both did a great job!"
Chad, Nirvana, Tony, Penny, Mash and even Kai came over to congratulate them. Chad tosses the Skill Book to Mason, he catches it with one hand.
"The little royal princess tried to run away with it, I took notice and decided to lecture him about being a man and honoring the deal. He took my advice so well he handed the book to me so I could give it to you." said Chad.
"Bro you have improved since a month ago, way to go!" said Mash.
"Good job." said Kai.
"That was so intense, here is a burger!" said Tony as he was eating a cheeseburger.
"Excellent strategy and tactics Mason." said Penny pushing up his glasses.
"Way to go ladies and Commander, the training paid off." said Nirvana.
"What is more impressive was you didn't even use the potions." said Chad.
Mason hands over the potions to Chad but he declines to get them back.
"You keep them, just in case." said Chad.
Mason sighs a sign of relief after the match, he felt good about what just happened and going forward, he believes he can be a good Commander and become stronger, one step at a time.
