Chapter 10: Viktor and Luke's Entry Exam

NOTE: I hope you like it! Please review!

"Here are the rules. Rule one- you each must hit me once with your oversouls to qualify. Rule two- there is no rule two, anything goes!"

Bronza yelled, "Let the entry exam begin!"

Viktor charged right at Bronza, "DIE!"

He slashed at him multiple times and Bronza just dodged them all.

"You can't win with brute force." Bronza punched Viktor in the stomach and he got knocked back.

"My turn!" Luke threw the shuriken and Bronza deflected it with his claws.

"C'mon both of you, you've already wasted a minute. You only have nine left."

"What?" They both yelled, "You never told us that!" Viktor said.

"Oh, right. I guess I forgot."

Viktor ran toward Bronza again and yelled, "Muscle Memory- Bloody Star!"

Bronza blocked all five strikes and then kicked him with one of his horned legs.

"Nice blocking, otherwise you would've been pierced right through right now."

Luke threw his shuriken again and Bronza flew into the sky to dodge it.

They're giving it their all but they aren't getting close to hurting Bronza. I thought.

"Listen, Viktor. We have to work as a team!" Luke said.

"I'd never work with you! I can take him down myself! This was just a warm up!"

Viktor jumped after Bronza and yelled, " Death blow! Krovavye Smerti! (Bloody Death in Russian)"

He brought his sword up and the blade glowed yellow.

Bronza's claws started to glow blue.

Bronza swung his claws at Viktor while Viktor brought his sword down on him.

Bronza's claw cut past the samshir and across Viktor's chest.

Viktor fell to the ground bleeding, "Damn that hurt." He said.

"Damnit! I'll take him down!" Luke said and he threw his shuriken.

Bronza hit it into the ground.

Luke reached his hand out and it flew out of the ground into his hand.

"I didn't think that would work." Luke said.

"That's a useful ability." Bronza said, "Six minutes left."

"Well if far range won't work let's try close range."

He jumped up and tried to cut Bronza with his shuriken but he flew away.

Luke landed on the ground with a thump.

Viktor stood up.

"Let's try that teamwork thing." Viktor said.

Luke smirked, "'Kay."

Viktor went up to cut Bronza, which he blocked and Luke threw his shuriken during his attack.

Bronza barely dodged the shuriken.

"Phew! That was close." Bronza sweated some.

"Let's try again!" Viktor said.

They both jumped up and tried to cut Bronza.

He flew down and said, "Three minutes left."

"Damnit it's not working!" Luke said.

Viktor mumbled something to himself.

"What?" Luke said.

"Nothing. I'm just going to try something that will probably fail."

"Oh." Luke said.

"Two minutes left."

Viktor brought his sword up and it started to glow yellow.

"What are you doing?" Luke said.

"Gathering mana at the tip of the blade and going to fire it like a gun… if it works." Viktor closed his eyes.

The entire glow went to the tip and made a yellow orb formed.

"Uh oh. Better take him down." Bronza flew down, getting ready to kick Viktor.

Viktor opened his eyes, "Fire! Oversoul Gun!"

A ball of yellow mana shot out the tip and hit Bronza at an extremely fast speed.

"Urgh." Bronza said and he grabbed his stomach.

"You pass."

"Yes!" And Viktor walked away.

Luke sweat dropped," Wait don't leave me! Help me beat him! How'd you do that?"

Viktor turned back, "I have no obligation to tell you. Bye." He walked away.

I ran after him and grabbed his shirt, "Go back there and help my brother!" I yelled.

"I don't need to listen to a weakling who can't even make an oversoul."

I let go and he walked off back to the mansion.

"Damn! Luke win, I've got to go get strong!"

BACK AT LUKE

"One minute left."

Luke was standing in place thinking.

How do I beat him? I can't do what Viktor did and plus even if I could he's on guard now so he's dodge it. Luke thought.

"C'mon and fight me!" Bronza said and he charged at Luke bringing his claws up.

Luke sidestepped away and Bronza flew back into the sky.

"Thirty seconds left."

That's it! This better work! I hope my oversoul is strong enough to do this!

Luke charged his mana into his shuriken and the symbols started to glow.

Then the entire shuriken glowed green.

"HEEYAH!" Luke threw the shuriken.

I can't block this one. It's charged with mana so it'll cut right through my oversoul and me! Bronza thought.

Bronza barely dodged it and it flew past him.

"Sorry Luke but it's over. There's ten seconds left."

"Not yet!" Luke said.

He shuriken flew back right at Bronza.

"What?" Bronza yelled.

"Yes! It worked!"

It cut Bronza's back leg and flew back to Luke.

Amazing! Learning how to use his oversoul's powers so quickly at such a young age! He is clearly the most gifted out of all of them, even if he doesn't have Berserk.

"How'd you make your shuriken home in on me?"

"Well, I realized that my shuriken can follow mana and that's why it will return to me. You see if I focus on my mana it returns to me but if I focus on yours it will home in on you. Of course this was all just a guess to begin with! I got lucky." Luke said.

They both disabled their oversouls.

"Well you passed so let's go back to the mansion. I need to get myself patched up."

So they headed back to the mansion and when Luke got into his room he collapsed into his bed.

Bronza cleaned up his bloody leg and watched TV.

I kept training and training. Not once realizing that someone was watching me.
