I then woke up abruptly before hearing her finish, "What happened to you? We almost thought you were gone for real this time" Ikkran said, I then touched my heart, I could feel her presence, it wasn't a dream "Im fine, stop worrying" I responded "I should have figured much, you could have multiple arrows pierce your body with the deadliest poison and you would just knock it off as a bad hangover" Ikkran replied while laughing lightly "Shigen, we wish to show you what we have learned while training" Jacob said looking excited "Ok then, let's head outside and see how much you two have grown" we then walked outside into an open field, I then took two gold coins from my pocket "Here's your test, you must take these two coins from me at all cost, you have until…" I stared at the clock in the town square, it was 12:00 in the morning "Until Midnight to take them from me, you may use any method you can think of, we'll start when I say go….Ready…..Set….Go!" they both ran at me full speed, finally I was going to fight an interesting opponent, Jacob shot out a powerful fire blast from his mouth even though it didn't hit it distracted me long enough for Ikkran to come in with a sneak attack, using her familiar Kaa, the snake reached over to my neck, I then turned around and countered by grabbing the snake by the head, causing him to constrict on Ikkran's arm, with that I was able to slam her down onto the ground with her snake, Jacob then came from behind and fired multiple fireballs, I countered with some rudimentary wind magic, knocking them back, that is when Ikkran leg sweeps me, as I fell I landed on my hands and countered by pushing myself upward and landing a dropkick in her face, causing her to fly backward, Jacob then got into my attack range and began backing me into a corner with his fire punches, as I go toe-to-toe with Jacob in close combat I can hear Ikkran chanting a summoning spell behind me, it was a long summoning chant so whatever it is that she's summoning is gonna be big, when I saw an opening in Jacob's onslaught I countered with a vicious headbutt throwing him off balance, I then got into range and began to take him down with a barrage of punches to the face followed by a powerful blast of wind magic to push him back, when I finished with him Ikkran was already finished with her summoning, she had called forth her favorite summon named Darky who was a giant infernal Dread Dragon, she then jumped on top of him in order to give him a magical boost, I had to get serious at this point or else I might lose to my apprentices and my pride was not about to allow that. The dragon then charged at me, even though I dodged it, its winds knocked by with the back-draft it then quickly turned around and fired a gigantic fireball, I couldn't dodge this, this could kill me, then I felt a surge of necrotic energy flow through me, I ran towards the gigantic fireball and placed my hands in front of me, I then tore through the fireball, I grabbed the dragon by his horns and delivered a powerful knee to the face but I wasn't done yet, I fell an amazing surge of physical force well within me, I held onto the dragon's horns and jumped high into the air, high enough to reach the heavens, then while still holding the dragon by its horns I sat with its head downward in my lap and my legs around its neck successfully piledriving him into the ground head first (Im gonna have to write this down on my kill list, imma call it a Dragonic Piledriver) , the shock of the 30 foot Piledriver was enough to completely level the area we were in, good thing we were in the field and not in the town, the summon was canceled but Ikkran (who was dizzy from the wind shock of my Dragonic Piledriver) and Jacob (Who was still half unconscious from my barrage punches to the face) continued to stand, I threw the coins at their feet "Your enemy isn't going to always give you the victory, but im pretty sure that your enemy would be dead by now, you did well, keep improving in the future" the smiled as they both grabbed their coin, they looked proud, I couldn't help but smile with them.
