Howdy everyone, new chapter! Enjoy :D
Reviews:
Guest: Thanks a lot!
Beeb boop: No problem my dude, and thanks!
** Thought.
"And the exam starts, now!" Mrs. Fiora declared. She then followed with "If I catch someone cheating, you will have to give the exam back and head outside and also, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask."
As Azrael is sitting on his seat contemplating about his life choices, he thinks that he studied well enough, getting 60% would be good enough, but oh lord, this isn't what he thought he would get.
"What the actual fuck." he murmurs very quietly, seems like no one heard him.
He then looks again at the 3-page exam.
Page-1 Void anatomy and their natural habitat.
Well, shit, seems like he's the only one here that completely forgot about this subject, great, at least he thought so for a second before noticing that the cocky guy he saw throw the ball earlier this morning, is sitting right behind him, he seems to be as screwed as Azrael is.
Az then looks at the 2nd page
Page-2 Fighting strategies and battle stances.
*God bless*
He then looks at the next page, with excitement and realizes that he studied for both of these subjects!
Page-3 World Geography.
*YES, HELL YES.*
- 1 Hour later -
After giving the exam back to Mrs. Fiora he gets the sudden realization that he actually did well, he never was the kind to be a book worm, he reads a lot of books about fighting and the like but not much about the enemy he's going to be fighting, he has to lend a book from the Library about Void Spawns and their anatomy. He then discerns that Ezreal is approaching him.
"Whew, that went well, what about you? How did you do?" Ezreal asks him.
"Not bad, I think I'll pass," he replies. "Seems like the girls seem to be done as well."
"So, how did you three do?"
"My guess would be that Lux did the best out of us three since she's the one that usually helped us with the homework in our last school. How about you?"
"I think I aced it, was pretty easy."
* I have to lie to her, can't tell her that I didn't answer anything on page 1 Furthermore, in front of a cute girl like lux? I can't pass the chance of looking cool before her I also can't destroy my pride*
"As expected of Azrael, the wonder-kid of our academy," Irelia states with a grin. " I did not expect any less of you, Azrael.
"Haha, thanks."
*She already thinks of me as a wonder-kid? damn it*
Azrael then looks at her Ahri who hasn't said anything till now, he wonders why.
"What's wrong Ahri? You don't seem too well," he asks her with concern.
"Agh, It's just that I did well on page-2 and 3 but, I..I didn't answer any of the questions on page-1! I feel so bad now!
"That's nothing to worry about! I'm pretty sure, you'll pass!"
*I'm not the one to talk since I too, didn't answer any of the questions on page-1*
"Aww, nothing to worry about Ahri, you'll definitely pass! Lux tries to comfort her friend.
"Exactly what she said, even if you fail this, there's no way you're going to fail the next exam," Irelia remarks.
"T...Thanks all of you, I'll definitely do better on the next exam!"
"Good to know that."
"Azrael, the head professor wants to meet you, please hurry up."Mrs. Fiora tells him out of the blue.
"Me? Huh? What for?"
"I do not know, now please hurry up."
"Fine, fine."
As the attractive Mrs. Fiora and Azrael head through the school, he notices many trophies, they seem to be all Nr 1 he then decides to ask her what they are.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are these trophies?
"Oh, these? These are trophies from the annual fighting tournament held in Ionia, but unfortunately, for the past 2 years we haven't gotten 1st place, the other schools must've one-upped their standards or we have lowered ours, either way, we are almost there.
"Alright."
They then walk for about 2 more minutes before he finds himself in front of the head professors office. She then knocks the door and Azrael hears a man say from the inside to come in. He's a tall, purple, weird looking man with a long beard, he then quickly decides to check the professor's power before any of them could notice, it seems like he possesses some kind of arcane power inside of him.
"Ahhh, there you are, child, My name is Ryze, I was expecting you!" He states.
"Me? Why?" Azrael asks him with a confused look. "I haven't done anything wrong have I?"
"No, no quite the contrary, in fact, you've broken the previous record of this school in the 100KG ball throwing exam, I must congratulate every student in person, not to mention, you threw it over 200 meters, that's an amazing feat."
"Uhm, thank you very much.
*Sigh, I shouldn't have overdone it*
"Please do impress us on your next exam, you'll be doing something very fun, this was all, you may now return to your class."
"Uh, okay."
*This was it?!*
As Azrael returns to the class he notices that the girls seem to be playing chess since it's technically their free time, the next exam starts in about an hour, before Azrael could go to his locker and change to the clothes provided by the school, Mrs. Fiora, interrupts him
"Azrael, wait I have something to ask you."
"Yes, ma'am?"
"I very well know that you're hiding something, something that you do not want to reveal yet, I understand that but please, if you truly possess the strength I think you do, pass the exam and join the fighting club I am in charge of, we currently need a team captain and I think you'll fit right in, this was all, you decide what path you take next, take care."
*What was this called again? Ah yes, a woman's intuition, a very scary thing indeed, how did she see right past me with such ease? I need to be more careful*
He then finally after a while, heads to the locker room.
- Sometime later-
"Ahh, the 3rd exam starts soon, huh?" Azrael speaks to himself. "I wonder what it is."
Ahri then decides to sneak up on him which proves to no avail because he instantly notices her sweet aura.
"Can't sneak up on me, Ahri..."
"What? How did you even notice me?"
"Can't hide that aura of yours, hehe."
"Aura? Do you mean my aura? How do you do that?"
"Find your own answers, young padawan," Azrael tells her in a joking manner.
"Was that a movie reference?"
"Perhaps."
"UGHHH, stop teasing me!"
"Hehe nope."
"Ahh, the lovebirds at it again," Lux teased her friend.
"Lux! Not you too!"
For the next 10 minutes, Ahri was getting teased by her kind friend, Lux.
After 15 minutes, the PE teacher comes and takes them to the fighting arena, his guess would be that they'll be fighting, after they arrive Mr. Aatrox says the following.
"Young boys and young girls! You have all reached the 3rd phase of the exam! Some dropped out after phase 1 and some after phase 2 but you lot managed to get this far! For that, you have my condolences. You see, not only will you be fighting, you will be fighting ME, one of the strongest generals in Runeterra! So, which one of you wants to take honor and fight me first? Before someone volunteers, I am undefeated. If no one volunteers, I'll just have to pick one so hurry up!
As Azrael looks around himself he notices the worries on some of the student's faces. Kayn seems to be in a small dilemma since he doesn't want to fight but Rhaast does, talking about Rhaast, he seems to be the same race as Mr. Aatrox, might be a coincidence. Ahri, Lux, and Irelia seem to be fine, but he can sense some hesitation. Ezreal... Well, you already know what he's doing right now.
"Sigh seems like I'll be the first one to take your challenge, Mr. Aatrox.
"HOHO? It's you from earlier! The one that threw the ball over 200 meters! Azrael, right? Perfect, come here.
"Azrael, wait, are you going to be okay?" Ahri asks me with a concerned look.
"Of course I am, I am the 'wonder-kid after all aren't I?" As he says that he looks at Irelia who gave him that title.
"Good luck! Azrael! Every one of my friends tells him.
"Thanks, everyone!
As he heads up the stairs and finds himself on the arena, he notices how big Mr. Aatrox really is, the guy seems to be about 2 Meters 60 [8 feet 6 inches for the American viewers ;) ] and his sword is about Azraels height, Azrael is about 1.84 (6'1)
"Alright, teach, I think I'll start. Appear before me, my dear Zanpakuto.
As Azrael says that, the 2 swords appear from the ground, he points them at Aatrox, indicating that he's am ready.
"If you say so, BOY!
Mr. Aatrox starts the fight with a slash from above, Azrael blocks it with his swords and dashes backwards, Aatrox then uses Infernal chains which come from 4 different directions, Azrael blocks 3 but get hit by the 4th one that gets him from the back.
"Azrael, ARE YOU OKAY?!" Ahri shouts with a very concerned face.
Azrael then looks at his friends who seem to all have a very worried look on their faces, hmph, seems like Azrael should up the game a little.
"Kageoni."
SLASH
"W...What the hell was that?! Aatrox shouts in confusion.
"It was my special move Kageoni, I can attack anything that has a shadow, that includes you, Teacher. I have several moves up my sleeve, but I won't be using them today, I'll defeat you fair and square.
"HAH, seems like Fiora was right. You really are strong!
"Thank you, you're strong as we..."
Before Azrael could finish his sentence Aatrox thrusts at him with his sword and Az barely manages to block it.
"No fair, " Az tells him.
He simply looks at Az and smirks, guess he wants to play rough, huh.
Azrael then leap up and strikes him, the collision seems to have knocked him a couple of meters back, he didn't expect that.
"Not gonna ask me what that was?
"Enlighten me." He says.
"Takaoni, whoever is higher deals more damage in my presence, I guess you could call it a double edged sword but I manage my fights fine, I guess you could call this a little game."
"Fine, I deem you worthy," He says with a deep voice.
"Worthy of what?" Azrael asks.
"WORTHY OF SEEING MY TRUE FORM, BEHOLD, THE WORLD ENDER."
His wings increase in size and he seems to be levitating over the ground, that puts Azrael in a disadvantage, his aura increased in a decent amount as well.
The students seem to be entertained by the fight and some worried for Az, hehe, seems like Azrael too has to use his special move.
"Impressive, I must be honest, in my current form I could not defeat you."
"Are you surrendering?" He asks me.
"No, I am certainly not, you showed me your true form, seems like I should use something similar as well, furthermore, the audience seems quite entertained, so why not."
"Bankai. Katen Kyökotsu, Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness.
Some students look speechless and the others with their jaw mouth open, Azraels friends seem to be shocked as well, Lux mostly.
"H...HOW? WHAT IS THIS FORM?!" EXPLAIN Azrael!"
"The form that shall finish this fight, Ichidanme: Tameraikizu no Wakachiai(Act the First: Hesitance and Apportionment of Wounds).
Chapter 4 End!
