Midnight: You were senpai for the longest time. -3- I was actually considering asking you to be a main character, but we haven't really talked that much so I was kinda shy... ^/^ I read a Dynamis fanfic for you, one of the first ones I read, when I didn't know who the hell he was. XDD Thanks for being awesome~!

Evie's POV:
I stared at my opponent, Gocty, preparing for the right moment to strike. All I knew was that she was known as the best magic practitioner in our school, but I was sure I could beat her once I got in close. The problem is… The scythe-like boomerang in my hand tingled with energy, anxiously waiting to be fired. How am I going to get close?
I had no time to ponder that as a powerful wave of magenta energy shot towards me. I felt the crippling pain as the magic seeped through my body, but I tried to shake the pain off. "Guess it's true," I smirked. "Your magic's good."
Her expression didn't change. "Thanks." Then, as she readied her sword and ran towards me, attempting a physical attack, I saw my chance. The boomerang left my fingers and opened up into a scythe that skimmed past her sword and grazed her neck. I grunted as the boomerang landed back into my hand.
Pale pink energy exploded into the air as she stumbled backwards, not expecting that attack to come. As she recovered from the impact, I ran towards her again and flung the boomerang at her. Gasping, she swung her sword quickly to shield herself from the attack, before slashing at me.
The blade skimmed across my stomach, but I noted that it didn't do much. Gocty might have had accuracy, but she didn't have as much skill and technique as physical attacks as I did. I jumped back before breaking into a sprint, hoping to gain some distance. It could become dangerous if she used magic at a close range.
"You're not bad with the boomerang." I heard Gocty's voice call out behind me. She seemed to be assessing every move that I made, trying to figure out a plan to beat me as she ran. I turned back to see a sphere of purple flames launching itself towards me. Yelping, I dived out of the way quickly, but was unable to do so. Of course. She knew I would dodge.
She had abandoned her sword for her staff, the slim piece of enchanted wood boosting her already proficient magic sky-high. I felt fire burn through every cell of my body, and I crashed to the ground, unable to move. My body knew- and accepted- it's limits.
Groaning, I shifted up slowly, my boomerang disappearing as Gocty fired yet another blast of magic towards me. Just as it was about to graze my skin, a set of long, metallic scythe-like claws appeared on my hands. I barely slashed through the magic before racing towards Gocty. The girl had a surprised expression on her face, unable to comprehend what just happened.
I whirled and slashed around me, my opponent being lost in a flurry of slashes. As Gocty emerged, I saw the numerous scratch marks and cuts on her skin, smirking. She summoned another magic attack, but I slashed through it, the only thing hurting me being the remnants of magic on my fingertips.
In a burst of pink light, she teleported herself a short distance away from me. Crap, I thought to myself. I should have trained up more on that type of magic too. As she muttered a simple spell to heal herself, I concentrated, causing a circle of flickering, ghostly flames to appear around her, trapping my opponent.
Grunting, she took out her third weapon- a scythed orb on a chain. She swung it around slowly, causing a warm, golden glow to surround it, and when it had charged up enough, starlike fragments of energy flew out at lightning speed, almost forming a protective barrier to keep me out as she prepared to cast another spell.
"Crazy magic skill much?" I shook my head, taking out my final weapon- a series of throwing knives that fanned out around me. I picked them up and started flinging them at the stars, smiling as they broke through them easily.
In a flash of light, the circle of fire was eliminated. The orb swung around quickly, causing a tornado of stars to impact me over and over again. Wincing slightly at the pain, I prepared to break out. As hard as I could, I threw a knife in front of me quickly, a slight hole forming in the storm of energy.
However, as soon as I emerged out, I was blasted back by a huge column of magenta, pink and white energy. Crying out, I landed hard on the ground, winded by the impact. My body had been exerted to the limit, and each muscle ached like utter hell. I can't keep going, my brain told me, but my heart stubbornly refused.
I tried to get up, but then heard a slash at the air. Gocty swung her hand, causing the surroundings around us to shift and change, taking on a slightly more desert-like appearance. I gasped as I saw a rock that pinned my leg hard, rendering me unable to move.
"Uh…" I muttered, my eyes focused on her sword. "Your sword… can change the surroundings to your advantage…" My knives slowly was consumed by white light, and I felt my boomerang reappear in my hand. I grasped it tightly, ready to try a final attack…
My lips curved into a smirk. "Guess you were fooled," I whispered, flicking the boomerang outwards. The sword clattered out of Gocty's hand and landed on the sand behind her. She raised her head, surprised. I looked up to see both our health in the red zone. Before she could get her weapon back, the rock broke around my foot and I appeared behind her quickly.
"I get stronger with every hit I take." Purple and blue flames appeared around me and my weapon as I threw the boomerang with all my strength, causing Gocty's health to drop to zero. She landed on the ground, defeated.
There was a ring as the period ended, and I sat down, watching the surroundings change back to normal. My opponent muttered a spell to heal herself fully. "Good job, Evie. I didn't expected your special weapon to be like that."
"You too. You did awesome," I replied, smiling and panting at the same time.
-3rd Person POV-
A figure stepped into the dark room, her long black hair almost melting into her dim surroundings. Her eyes- a bright, vivid red- seemed to burn in the darkness. They were filled with a cold, steely determination.
The girl waiting for her stood up, her purple hair tied into a ponytail. "Welcome," she stated formally, and she nodded back in response.
"How is the plan coming along?" She asked, and in response, the teenaged girl ran a hand through her long, black hair, pure black flames seeming to swallow the room in even more darkness.
"There's no way it could fail." A small smirk graced her face. "It's all coming along perfectly."
I hope you liked it, and who do you think the person is? It might be anyone *draws a rainbow* Note that you can't specifically point it out to be one of us, since a lot of people have black hair here XDD
