At the basketball ball field the rookies were talking about the upcoming event of facing there seniors.
Sonia: I just hope they are not assholes I hate people who rub off there egos
Peter: I heard from Sophia that they are pretty friendly.
Micheal: I actually meet one of them.
Ken: really?
Micheal: yeah his name is Jason he is a shadow user.
Seina: a shadow user that's cool.
bonnie/sonia: shadow user?
Peter: you don't know Bonnie?
Bonnie: first Time I hear of this what's is a shadow user?
Seina: shadow users are basically people or spirits that can control shadows though for spirits they can travel through shadows like water human can't but it still has its uses.
Sonia: isn't max a shadow user.
Max:?
Micheal: no his black arms are more like a part of his black aura nature black aura users can absorb others spiritual power or give it to someone else however they can't absorb shadows.
Sonia: why?
Micheal: they user can harden their shadows and black energy users can drain the remnants of energy in the shadows but not enough to do damage.
Ken: we might have problems if we faced him.
Micheal: leave him to me and Sonia.
Sonia: huh? Why me?
Micheal: you can take a lot of damage and your body stores up the damage you take and turn it into energy that it's the equivalent of a single impact so in short terms Sonia here is our tank.
Sonia didn't liked to be compared to a tank but she couldn't deny that Micheal had a point.
Max: so any of us met any of the other seniors?
All of them shook there heads.
Max: well looks like we are at a disadvantage in terms of information.
Sonia: doesn't matter let's just get to training and hopefully be prepared enough to stand our ground.
Seina: you heard her people let's get to work.
Ken: well if we are gonna train I wanna have a go at max.
Max: fine by me I wanted to have a go at you Kenny.
Ken: oh for the love of everything you remember that damn name!?
Max had a treasure cat smile on him.
Ken: oh it's on now.
Peter: looks like max triggred him.
Bonnie: of course he is I would be too if a sertant red haired idiot didn't keeped calling me bubble head
Max and Ken got into potions with max making big black hands for each of his arms and Ken taking out his karambit they both flared up their spiritual energies
and after a few seconds Ken made the first move by throwing his weapon at max who dodged it and rushed at Ken to hit him but Ken disappeared in a blue flash and max felt a kick behind him.
He turned and he managed to dodge just in time from another karambit Ken rushed at max and he rushed at him to but like before Ken disappeared in a blue flash and max turn to get a kick it the jaw strong enough to launch him into the air.
Ken threw his weapon next to max and he took its place and he grabbed max the face and they plummeted into the ground creating a crater.
Max could have fought back if it wasn't for the head pain and Ken putting his weapon near his throat.
Ken: yield.
Max knew If this was a real life or death Ken could easily kill him so he gave up.
Ken got up and gave max a hand up and he took it
Ken: just Remember you asked for it.
Max: yeah I kinda did.
Micheal: looks like Ken has the ability to switch places with his weapon wonder if it works on people.
Peter: honestly I can't blame max for losing if I was in his place I wouldn't know what to do.
Siena: my turn let's see if you can take me Greene.
Sonia: someone wants to die.
Max and Ken got with the other and watch the fight Sonia took out her wooden kanabo over her shoulders while seina got into an of tance and she imbued her hands in spiritual energy and it took the form of tiger like claws
Seina pouched at Sonia but she took a step back and was ready to bash seina with her kanabo but with cat like agility seina dodged it and managed to cut Sonia in her stomach and she followed up with a kick to her face sending her flying but she recovered.
Seina rushed at her again but this time Sonia was ready.
Seina jumped took a diving stance towards her but Sonia side stepped the attack and took a batter stance and bashed seina right in the stomach sending her flying.
Sonia felt a sting and he scratc wound was half way on healing.
Sonia felt her survival instinct kick in and she dodged a claw swipe from seina Sonia keep backing away while seina was slashing air
Sonia saw a Chance when she bent over her back she raised her foot and enhanced it with spiritual energy and stomped the ground enough to make a crater big then max and Ken's fight to throw seina off her footing.
Seina dodged a swing of Sonia's kanabo and both of the girl decided to compress their energy into there fist and they both were about to hit each other.
But Micheal grabbed both of there hands redirecting there attacks and push both of the girls away from each other.
Micheal: are you two crazy!? This is training not a death match!
Seina: sorry I kinda lost my cool.
Micheal just sighed and checked up on Sonia who was grabbing her scratched side.
Micheal: you okay.
Sonia: it stings like hell but I'll survive.
Max: here.
Max grabbed Mona's charm and put a small black whip on Sonia's side.
Sonia: thanks.
Seina: hey sorry I drew first blood this is the first time I fought with a human being and you know I'm more used to lost souls.
Sonia now with her side healed just waved it off.
Sonia: it's fine I can kinda see why you went all ape shit on me but not gonna lie you and I will have a rematch sister.
Seina: looking forward to it Greene.
Bonnie: if you two wanna kiss go ahead.
Sonia/seina: shut the hell up!!
After a long time of training the rookie took a showers and got ready for bed but one got a call.
Max: whoever this is you got the wrong number.
Miguel: wow that's a way to greet your mentor.
Max shot up from his bed when he heard that voice.
Max: Mr.Miguel I'm so sorry I-
Miguel: it's okay kid listen I just want you to know that the person who is going to teach you swordsmanship is here so tomorrow you are to have a private lesson.
Max: what about the others?
Miguel: they will have another mentor teaching them when you are done she will catch up she is pretty patient.
Max: thanks
With that Miguel hung up the phone leaving max to think.
Max: well looks like time to use that thing.
