Kazumi's commentating

"Would you look at this board!" Negi shouted in amazement "Half of these people are in class 3-A!"

"Yeah this is going to be awesome!" Brent said happily.

"With so many entered, surely one of us will win the 10,000,000." Chizuru said.

"Ten million." Natsumi said in shock.

Brent briefly wondered what the two girls were doing here and surmised they had come to see Kotaro fight. He wondered how the Haunted House was doing and if they were wondering where he was.

"Hey Brent-kun! Come on lets go to the wrap up party!" Kazumi said as she walked over to him.

"Can I bring my brother and friends?" Brent asked.

Kazumi looked behind him and smirked.

"Well it looks like Kaede has already stolen your loud friend away." She said.

"Huh?" Brent said before turning to see Kaede leading a slightly flustered Odayaka in the direction of the party.

"I guess that means the others will be there too." Brent said before the whole group headed to the party.

At the party

Day one of MahoraFest may be drawing to an end, but around the World Tree, events are just getting started! As always staying healthy starts with you. Students are reminded to avoid all nighters and-when appropriate!- not to over indulge in alcohol.

As they walked onto the roof where the party was being held they were immediately bombarded with shouts of greeting. Brent only briefly listened to what they were saying to Negi and wondered how Negi had managed to be in so many places at once. He decided to forget about it for now and just enjoy the party. He knew that most likely he would end up breaking a few bones in the tournament tomorrow and was going to love every second of it.

The Next Day

Brent entered the Contestants Ready Room to find all the contestant there. He sighed and grumbled about his alarm clock being broken before plopping down onto the floor where he began to meditate as he waited for the match's to start. He planned to watch his friends matches as well as Ku-Fei's but needed to have as much time to prepare himself mentally for the matches.

"Hey lil' bro. Lets make our match more interesting." Falco whispered into his ear.

Brent cracked open his right eye and regarded his older brother with interest.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked.

"For our fight we won't use any of our powers or chi. Only pure strength." Falco said.

"Deal. I wasn't planning on using my wooden swords unless I had to anyway." Brent replied.

He listened as Kotaro easily beat a girl named Mei Sakura and the next match ended in seconds as Ku:nel soundly defeated his opponent. Brent got to his feet and went out to the Contestant seats to watch Odayaka's match against his girlfriend Kaede.

Odayaka was wearing a simple black Karate Gi with a white belt around his waist with no shoes on his feet. Brent wondered why he decided to dress like that but decided Odayaka wasn't trying to showboat with any silly clothing.

"Now here comes are round three fighters! Odayaka Shinzo and Kaede Nagase! An interesting note is that these two just recently started dating!" Kazumi said happily "Will the outcome of this match cause ill effect on their blossoming relationship? We're about to find out because match 3 begins NOW!"

Odayaka instantly used a shundo to get directly in front of Kaede and delivered a powerful kick to her chin sending the surprised girl flying into the air. She landed in a heap on the other side of the arena and quickly jumped to her feet.

"Well, well I wasn't expecting that Odayaka-kun. Is this one of the techniques you wanted to show me?" Kaede asked.

"No this was an elementary technique. Just like this one is!" Odayaka said before he crossed his hands and nine copies of himself leapt at Kaede who responded with the same number of clones.

"What an amazing display of the 'clone' technique by both contestants." Kazumi shouted as the clones collided.

Upon collision the clones vanished but Odayaka and Kaede had hit each other upside the chin sending them both crashing to the ring where they left craters upon landing. As they climbed out of the craters Brent could feel a vaguely familiar energy emanating from Odayaka.

"Well Odayaka-kun so far I'm mildly impressed at your fighting abilities but now its time to finish this." Kaede said in a slightly disappointed tone.

When Kaede had finished talking Odayaka began to laugh. It started quietly at first but slowly increased in volume until it was heard by the entire crowd.

"OH I'M NOWHERES NEAR DONE! BUT BEFORE I CONTINUE I'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK LESSON ON MY TECHNIQUES." Odayaka shouted "WITHIN THE HUMNA BODY IS SPIRITUAL ENERGY OR KI AND PHYSICAL ENERGY OR CHI. KI CAN'T BE USED ALONE AND CHI IS USED BY MOST SKILLED FIGHTERS. BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY'RE COMBINED! YOU GET CHAKRA!"

Odayaka's hands were in blur of rapid motion as he made numerous hand signs before finishing. As soon as the last sign was made the water surrounding the arena began to churn.

"NINJA ART:SUIRYUUDAN NO JUTSU!"

As soon as Odayaka had called out his attack a plume of water shot into the air where it took the shape of a serpentine dragon before crashing into the stunned Kaede dragging her across the stage before the water crashed down.

"AMAZING JUST WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED?!? WAS THIS A SECRET TECHNIQUE OF THE LEGENDARY NINJA?" Kazumi shouted into her mike.

As Kaede struggled to her feet she saw Odayaka watching her with a concerned look on his face. Before she got up off her knees she looked down to make sure her clothes were still intact and after verifying that her clothes still covered everything she wanted covered, her right pant leg was gone, her stomach was showing and her left sleeve was torn off, she stood and looked at Odayaka. The skin on her stomach seemed to have been scraped off leaving several bloody patches and a long cut was on her arm. She thought she might have a cracked rib but didn't think it would stop her fight.

"Well… I must say that I'm very impressed with that attack Odayaka-kun. Perhaps after the festival you could accompany on more of my training trips and teach me it." She said.

"Are you okay?" Odayaka asked.

"If you mean am I able to continue the fight then yes." Kaede replied.

"No. I mean are you okay. I don't want to cause you any permanent injury… if I did then I could never forgive myself." Odayaka replied.

The immediate reaction of the crowd was a loud 'awww' followed by several cheers.

"Isn't that touching?! Even when fighting each other for the chance at ten million yen Challenger Odayaka is still concerned with his girlfriends well being!"Kazumi said excitedly.

Kaede nodded before preparing to continue the match.

"I'm fine. Now shall we continue the match?" Kaede asked.

"Of course!" Odayaka said happily.

He immediately started going through a different set of hand signs to which Kaede used Shundo to get in his face only to find he had used Shundo himself to get behind her.

"Ninja art: Karyuu Endaan!" He shouted before taking a deep breath and exhaling.

A large stream of fire came from his mouth and formed the shape of a dragon before flying at Kaede who managed to dodge to the side just in time to avoid most of the damage. The stage where the dragon hit was burnt to a crisp and part of her right sleeve was burned off. Her hand wasn't badly burned but it would still ache for a few days after the tournament ended. She leapt into the air at Odayaka and went wide eyed when she saw him finish another set of hand signs.

"Ninja art: Kokuryuu Boufuusetsu!" He shouted before thrusting his right fist forward.

From his fist shot a red eyed, black serpentine dragon which hit Kaede head on knocking her out of the air. She landed on her feet and looked at Odayaka. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds before Odayaka spoke.

"Unfortunately…" Odayaka panted "Using to much… chakra… can leave you in serious trouble."

"What do you mean?" Kaede asked with a hint of concern.

"You… win." Odayaka said before he fell backwards and crashed to the stage floor.

Kazumi had been unable to speak after Odayaka had unleashed the fire dragon and only now managed to find her voice again.

"And challenger Odayaka is unable to continue meaning that Kaede Nagase is moving on to the next round!" She said to the loud cheers of the crowd.

Brent was quite impressed at Odayaka's abilities as Kaede stumbled over to where Odayaka had fell. She knelt down next to him and checked him over just as the medics reached the stage.

"If you had lasted just a few more seconds… you would have won." She said before passing out herself.

After they had been taken off the stage Brent, Negi, Setsuna, Falco, Suteki, Shinen, and Asuna left to check on their friends. They arrived at the medical room to find Kaede already awake and resting while her injuries were bandaged by the medic. Odayaka was still out cold after his match and the nurse told them he and Kaede would be fine.

"Will Kaede be able to continue?" Brent asked.

"She should be fine." The nurse replied.

A/N: So how was that? Was it good? Please review!
