I have been looking forward to this chapter since before I posted the first chapter. It was a lot of fun to write, but I don't really like how the fight went on a little bit. I might go back and edit that.
Anyway, next is going to be the Jaundice episodes. Cardin is showing up so much I should probably put him as one of the characters. Anyway, I'll have Jade making his weapon spread out throughout the next few chapters. He'll be using it afterwards.
Well then, hope you enjoy the chapter!
Today is Friday, the day of our first combat class. I'm excited for today, as I've heard that the first day is different. I have my weapons under my clothes as usual.
"Today is your first day of combat class." Professor Goodwitch started. "In this class I will not only teach you how to fight, but how to fight together. Today we will show you how people who have trained together fight. Jade and Ruby Rose, could you come up please?" I walk down to the stage and Ruby soon joins me. Her face is as white as paper.
"You'll be fine Ruby." I whisper as we stood side by said facing the crowd.
"Now, who volunteers to fight these two." Goodwitch asked.
"We will!" A voice immediately called out. Two people stood up, one in armor and the other in a green hoodie and brown pants.
"Ah, Cardin Winchester and Russel Thrush. Come." Cardin and Russel faced us on the stage. Ruby pulled out Crescent Rose, but her hands were shaking. Ruby doesn't do well in front of crowds.
"Ruby, Ruby, look at me. Concentrate. We're a team. We can work together, okay?"
Ruby started to calm down, her breathing steadying. "Okay, I'll be good?"
"Sure!" I smiled. "Let's do this!" I crouched down.
"You may begin." Goodwitch stated.
I started off running towards Cardin, Ruby running at my side. Once we got a few feet away from them I said, "Four." I jumped up and the hoverboard formed beneath my feet. I grab Ruby's hand and swing her around. I throw her towards Cardin and she swings out her scythe. I spin my hoverboard and launch it at Russel. After it hits I say, "Terminate, six." A large ball on a chain appears in my hands. "Ruby, jump!" Ruby jumps up and I launch the ball at him. It hits him in his gut and he is thrown back. "Terminate, five." I spin around and put my swords in a cross to block Russel's knives. I then push them outwards, uncrossing them and throwing Russel backwards. I then jump up and grab Ruby's hand again. She fires at Cardin and that swings us around. That launches her towards Russel and me towards Cardin. That's when everything went wrong. I try to block Cardin's swing with my swords but they shatter under the pressure and I'm knocked to the side. I crouch and say. "Three." Ember Celica formed around my fists. I throw a few ghost punches to launch shots at Cardin. I then run back to where Ruby was fighting Russel. I elbow him in the gut and fire off another shot to drive my elbow further into his gut. "Ruby! Let's do this! Terminate, ten." A liquid looking armor formed around me. Ruby jumped up onto my right hand. I thrusted my hand upward and Ruby flew upward into the air. I spun my hand and the liquid released her. I then thrusted my hands out to the side and Cardin and Russel. I clapped my hands together and pushed them towards Ruby. Cardin and Russel smashed together in mid-air and were thrown into the air. Ruby shot off a bunch of shots and started spinning in a cyclone of red rose petals. "Terminate." My armor disappeared and Ruby's spinning blade slammed into Cardin and Russel. They were thrown to the ground and their auras were depleted. I used my semblance to sprint up the walls and grab Ruby in mid-air. I wrench Crescent Rose out of her grip and slow ruby down enough. We hit the floor ourselves. I help Ruby up but she staggers around for a second and falls back down. Ruby did always get dizzy when we practiced that on trees. Sadly it didn't make perfect logs like Ruby thought.
I put Ruby's arm arm over my shoulders and help her off the stage. I give her to Yang who helps her back to her seat as I head to mine. I take a look at my aura level on my scroll. It was sent into the red zone with all the energy my armor settings sapped. I know what I need to do tomorrow.
I walk into the store after looking at a lot of different stores. I look at many different weapons. Then one caught my eye. I called the person who owned the sop. "What are these?"
"Good choice. These is a katar." It had a H-shaped handle and a large blade in the middle. He pulled a trigger and the blade opened to reveal a small gun barrel. He pointed it at a target and pulled another trigger and fired off multiple fast shots at the target.
"Cool, but what type of ammo does it use?" I asked.
"It converts your aura into a physical form the fires it." He explained with a smile.
My face fell. "Could I see it for a second?"
"Sure." He handed it over. I held it in my hand as I said "Copy and send to RoseAndThorns ." (Side note: Google Docs registers that as an actual email address)
"Are you copying me?" The guy asked. He started reaching for a nearby sword.
"No, I'm going to make changes before I actually craft the weapon. Though here's some lien." I said handing over some lien. The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, but took his hand away from the sword.
"Thank you for your purchase, now please get the…" I sped out of the door before he could finish his sentence.
