Yo. It's been a while I know but I had a lot of homework these last few weeks is it? Well anyways, here is the girl's fight. Pretty short and sweet in my opinion. Remember Don't like don't read and this is AU anyways. Not everything will be the same.

Chapter 6- Wind Fist

"Your friend is a bishop correct?" Brendan asks.

"Yes," Mark answers but goes no further.

Brendan notices this and adds, "Well then. I'm afraid she will not be able to show us much. Leanne is far too agile to allow your friend to get any sort of spell in."

"Perhaps," Mark says but is too focused on the next battle to fully enter into a conversation with Brendan, not to mention anxiety is building up since he will be fighting next.

Brendan turns his head to watch the fight realizing that the boy next to him is far too distracted to entertain him with any sort of conversation.

"Youths these days," Brendan mutters. Uhai hears this and smirks. Guess he's not the only one feeling old these days.

Turning their attentions to the fight, they catch the girls talking small talk. Both are inspecting their respective weapons. Leanne is checking two knives that are just a little shorter than short swords. Sierra meanwhile is checking her Divine tome and checks to make sure the page of the spell she wants to use is bookmarked. Both knows this will be a short fight. Someone of Leanne's "talents" will not allow a spell caster to finish a chant. At the same time, a spell caster will not allow an enemy to survive their chosen spell.

This match is more than just a sparring match. This is a test of their capabilities. If Leanne can cut Sierra, she is the victor. If Sierra manages to fire her spell, she is the winner. There will be no time for a second chant. Sierra has one shot. Leanne will be the winner if Sierra misses.

On the other side, Linus has set up a bet. He bets 200 gald that Leanne wins. Lloyd joins in with 50 gald. Carter matches them with 250 gald on Sierra. Brendan and Uhai both bet 300 gald on Leanne seeing as they have no idea of the extent of Sierra's abilities. Sonia opts out of betting deeming it too crude and undignified. Mark is disliking her more and more. She seems too pompous. He himself has bet 100 gald that the fight will be a draw. Nino is too young and isn't allowed to bet. She pouts but they still don't allow her to bet. The brothers just rubs her head and says when she is older like 50 then she could gamble. Chase is asleep. Apparently his little brother's fight was so long and boring he fell asleep halfway through.

On Brendan's signal, the girls begin their fight. Leanne as expected runs straight ahead and closes the distance between her and Sierra in a heartbeat. She draws her knife and makes a movement to bring the knife up to Sierra's throat. Instantly however, she sees Sierra grin and feels a force knock her back a meter.

"What the hell?" Leanne swears, "You couldn't have possibly finished a chant. What did you do?"

"Wanna try again?" Sierra grins and begins chanting in earnest for Divine.

This time around, Leann breaks into a slower but more cautious run and closes the distance quickly. She draws her knife up in the same motion but gets knocked away again by that same invisible force. Still not sure what that may be, she tries three more times and gets rejected three more time.

At this point, the chant for Divine is almost complete. Everyone there recognizes the spell as Divine Luminescence, one of the four strongest spells in the Divine tome and the only area effect one of the four. Some words are off but that is intentional since she is reading off the tome itself. If the chant is correct, the power will be enough to burn away the entire hideout. Since some words are off, the power will be greatly reduced. If the chant is complete, the result will be clear. Leanne will have lost utterly and completely.

"I found out your trick now," Leanne says suddenly.

This throws the Fang off but Mark and Carter seems amused that someone has figured it out.

Sierra looks up for a second but continues the chant. The spell cannot be disturbed while chanting or the backlash may harm her. The more powerful the spell the higher the risk even if it is the weakened version.

"It's Wind Fist correct," Leanne says.

"Wind Fist?" Linus has a confused look on his face.

"Wind Fist. A technique developed by the warrior monks of the Durban Isles. This technique allowed the caster to fire off a quick spell that requires no chanting from their hands. The motion is fast and if used correctly, will stall the opposition long enough for the caster to finish the spell. I am amazed someone so young can use it to that extent," Chase speaks up having been awakened by the loud noise the attack has created.

"Thanks for finally waking up bro. Hope we didn't disturb your nap," Carter glares at his brother. He is a little pissed that his brother slept through his fight.

"Don't worry. It didn't," Chase says ignoring the glare his brother sent him.

"That would explain how Leanne keeps getting sent flying a meter every time she gets close," Brendan rubs his jaw thoughtfully.

"Absolutely correct. I am amazed she recognized it in that small exchange. She's pretty smart," Mark claps with some vigor.

"How did the girl learn this move? The secrets behind the technique is reserved for the warrior monks and there is no way they would have willingly taught you," Sonia speaks up with an angry look on her face. Clearly she has tried but failed to learn the secrets.

"I taught her," Mark smiles.

"How did you learn it then?" Sonia snaps.

"Now calm down Sonia. Does it really ma-" Brendan tries to calm his wife down.

"Of course it does. That technique is a core study if one wishes to be a perfect sage!" Sonia roars.

"Perfection is overrated. If everyone was perfect, the world will be boring. As for the secrets behind the technique, I won't tell. It's a secret after all," Mark points out.

Sonia gives him a hard cold stare that screams "You tell me or I will rip your head off and feed it to a wyvern." Mark ignores her and concentrates back to the fight. He is interested in seeing how Leanne can counter the technique.

There is one way for someone who does not know the technique to attack. Charge. That is the key. The attack is fast but is dependent on the movement of the hands. To use the technique, the user has to charge energy in one palm and fire it in an instant. The opportunity to attack will be when the spell is done and the caster is about to attack.

So Leanne waits for her chance while Sierra finishes her chant. She knows Leanne's plans but there is reason to stop her spell now. Then the chant is finished. Leanne runs forward with the knife at the angle to cut off one's head. Sierra reaches outward and directs the energy of Divine Luminescence down to the front of Leanne. Sonia creates a barrier to protect he Fang and Carter and Mark though Mark notices that the size of the barrier is just barely big enough to shield him.

"Guess she's upset," Mark thinks.

Leanne tries to dodge but gets hit with a small amount of the attack. It catches her right leg and arm but she runs out of the field and holds her knife right at Sierra's throat. The fight is over.

"Hmm. The fight's over. I would say Leanne wo-" Brendan starts but mark cuts him off.

"It's a tie. In an actual fight Leanne would be nearly dead taking the full brunt of Divine Luminescence but would manage to lop off Sierra's head before dying. Thus it is a draw," Mark says jovially.

No one can argue with that logic so Brendan declares the duel a draw and pronounces Lloyd and Mark to take the stage for the next fight.

"By the way, you guys owe me money," Mark reaches his hand out and starts to collect.


There it is. All this in under 1 hour. Decent eh. Well anyway. Leave a review. I know a fair amount of people read this so leave me a comment about how good/ok/bad/terrible it is.
