"...Begin!" As soon as Ozpin uttered those words I placed my hand on my belt and switched it into its Driver mode.
*Driver On, Please!*
"We'll treat this as a lesson as well Mister Noir. First lesson, don't assume your opponents are going to stand idly by while you use that toy of yours." As Professor Goodwitch said this, she raised her riding crop, wand, weapon thing and summoned multiple balls of light and with a flick of her wrist sent them flying my way, causing me to run and roll out of the way as they impacted behind me and smashed the topmost part of the arena floor into rubble.
"Lesson two, try to avoid giving your opponent any additional advantages in combat." She then once again raised her wand and the rubble around me began to levitate and flew around me hitting me and causing my aura to slightly drop as I tried to continue to dodge." As I was dodging however I was finally able to activate my driver and slip on my new land dragon ring.
*Shabadoobi Touch Henshin!*
"Henshin!" I cried out as I basically slammed my ringed hand onto my driver and felt the rush of magic as a yellow magic circle raised from the ground I stood on upwards and a casing of rock and earth covered my form, defending me from Goodwitch's barrage of debris.
*Land, Please: Dododo Dododon, Don Dododon!*
My yellow gemed earth form then erupted from the encasing stone. With the raised defensive capabilities of my earth form I was able to easier tank the bits of debris that the professor was still throwing at me as I quickly slipped on my next ring to arm myself.
"Now, its showtime."
*Connect, Please!*
Finally summoning my weapon in its gun form I began to run towards Goodwitch while simultaneously shooting at her and any debris she was throwing my way.
"Hmmm while these forms of yours are indeed powerful there are huge flaws in them. Had this been a serious fight I would not have allowed you to transform so easily. The form changes as well as weapon summons take up precious seconds that could mean life or death. In the future I suggest to at least arm yourself before the battle begins and wait for a better opening to change." Goodwitch just kept the helpful advice flowing as I closed the distance and switched from gun mode to blade mode and went for an overhead swing, to which she countered with an upward swing.
with the transformation, I had gotten a boost in strength but was surprisingly only slightly stronger than the Professor as we started to trade blows. Sword strike met with deflecting wand strike. Open palm strikes were either blocked or more often deflected to avoid the slow drop of aura. Using one of my strikes to create an opening, I aimed a sparta kick to Goodwitch's stomach which she was unable to block. She was shoved back and her Aura took a more significant drop from Ninety to Eighty percent.
"Very nice mister Noir but I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Don't assume you are the only one who can use Dust to enhance their abilities." I was unprepared for her next move, as she began to take advantage of the space I gave her to summon some VERY LARGE balls of flame which she proceeded to launch my way. I foolishly tried to slice through them for them to explode on impact and drop my aura down to seventy-five percent.
As I rolled with the recoil I decided to shift back to a tried and true tactic and prepped my next ring.
*Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Bind! Please!*
Yellow colored magic circles appeared around the Professor and from them shot chains made of stone but before they could entrap her the chains became wrapped in the purple glow of her semblance and then the battle of wills took place. My will and Mana driving the spell to capture the Professor and her Semblance and Aura keeping her from being ensnared. As she fought against me her Aura meter slowly started to drip farther into the yellow and into the seventy-five percent range like I was.
"What will you do now Mister Noir? While it is a valid strategy, a battle of attrition can only accomplish so much."
She was right of course, I realized as I stopped the spell and changed tactics, ready to give my new ring a spin
*Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Land, Dragon: Dan Den Don Zu Dogon, Dan Den Dogon!*
A yellow dragon rose from the ground and merged with me, causing my black robes to change to yellow as my newly reforged Land Dragon form emerged.
"You're right Professor, so let's give this a try."
New strategy in mind I slid on yet another ring and opened the scanner on my weapon.
*Come on a Slash, Shake Hands! Big! Please!*
I took immense joy as both Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch took a few steps back and gawked in surprise as my entire weapon grew to immense proportions. With the strength boost given from my new form, swinging my weapon was no problem as I brought the weapon in a horizontal spin. Professor Goodwitch quickly threw up a barrier with her semblance. It was my turn to be surprised this time as her barrier held but the strain still dropped her aura into the Yellow at Sixty Percent.
Releasing the spell I took a moment to try to figure out how to proceed and she took the moment to gather herself again.
*Psst Magus. You haven't used these 3 rings yet. Use them and lets finish this.*
In response to his suggestion, 3 rings lit up in a sequence on my belt.
-Ok Dragon, let's see what we got- I then slid on the first ring.
*Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Gravity! Please!*
Suddenly the gravity around Goodwitch focused and started to push her down into the area, she again quickly deployed a defensive barrier around herself with her semblance to keep from being crushed but her Aura started to steadily drop to Fifty Percent. Then with a flick of my wrist the gravity shifted from an oppressive downward force to no force at all. Now gravity-less, Goodwitch began to float in place. Before she could react I slipped on my next ring while she was distracted.
"Now, the Finale! *Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Very Nice! Kick Strike! The BEST!*
With a sweeping motion I spread out the waistcoat then took a wide stance, crouching a bit as a yellow magic circle formed below me and earth energy began to focus on my forward facing leg. I then took a running start which turned into a high jump before I shot my leg out and my magic propelled me forward into another magic circle. As I passed through the circe my forward motion increased and the magical energy on my leg focused into the shape of a mighty dragon opening its maw towards goodwitch as my flying kick shot straight at her.
"Oh no you don't!" I heard her exclaim as she brought up multiple barriers to hinder my flight. Barrier after barrier shattered as I flew through them, causing my aura to take the recoil damage and even out with hers. By the time I reached her final barrier most, if not all the magical energy of the kick had been drained and while the last barrier began to splinter and both our aura continued to drop it held firm.
"Try this then!" I shouted as I slid on what I hoped would be my last ring as I felt my magical reserves plummet.
*Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Drill! Please!*
The kick renewed its strength with the surge of magic as I began to spin, causing her final barrier to splinter quicker and then with a resounding crack! shatter as the kick landed onto her. Goodwitch held her ground for a few moments before the kick caused an explosion of energy which shot her out of the ring, through the defensive barrier that kept attacks from hitting the stands, and into one of the high walls below the spectator stands, causing dust to rise and a loud BEEP! As the aura reader showed Zero percent.
As she flew the explosion threw me backwards and I drained the backwards momentum with a flip before landing in a crouch and then rising into a standing position as she crashed into the wall.
"Phew!"
"...Victory to Magus by ringout and by aura loss...Glynda are you ok?"
The question was met with silence as I released my transformed state and stared at her prone form.
"Holy shit, did I kill a teacher?!"
"...Language Mister Noir. You'll find that while that was an impressive display, you'll have to try a lot harder to put me down." Miss Goodwitch seriously replied as she, with the help of Ozpin who rushed over, pulled herself free of the Goodwitch shaped hole in the wall. She then calmly walked up to me while taking out her scroll and pushing a button. The reader above the arena flashed and then refilled into a red Twenty Five percent. "As you can see, if this was a real battle I still had plenty of aura to retaliate. I set up this handicap as a safe measure just in case you went overboard. Now going back over that spar..."
I just breathed a sigh of relief while Goodwitch began to breakdown the spar and point out to me what I could have improved on and what was done correctly. Praising the versatility of my ring arsenal. Throughout this the three of us failed to notice the sneaky bunny faunus lower her scroll to stop recording and carefully slink out of the arena before going into a full sprint towards her team's dorm.
An hour later, after returning my other rings to my locker, I was headed back to my dorm and passed Weiss as she was just leaving our dorm.
"Hey Weiss."
"Oh Magus! There you are. I was just about to head to the library to check out some books. Please try to be quiet when you enter the dorm. Yang and Blake are already asleep and Ruby is doing some studying to catch up."
"So things are cool between you two?"
"...Was that a pun?"
"...No?"
"...Then yes. Things have settled into a more amicable mood between myself and Ruby. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get those books for me and her to help her catch up."
"Ok, no problem. I'm just going to hop in the shower and crash..." She didn't hear the last part as she had already started walking off.
*She's still kind of cold isn't she? Still better that then be like those other girls who either hate your guts or want you in theirs*
-Eww Dragon. That's kind of messed up to say. Besides, Coco Velvet and the rest are all just friends- As I quietly entered the dorm and grabbed my pajamas my internal chat with Dragon was interrupted by my scroll going off.
Ignoring it for now I hopped into the shower and washed away the aches of mana drain from combat. After I was washed and changed I tossed my clothes into the hamper and grabbed my scroll. As I was sitting down I opened it and read the single message and image attached.
"FUCK!" I yelled loudly
Ruby eeped and rolled out of bed, crashing to the floor.
Blake made the sound of a cat growling angrily and hissed as she shot up into her bed into a crouching position, scanning the room for danger.
Yang snored on, sleeping like the dead.
"Magus? When did you get back? What's wrong?"
"Oh, ummm...just a little while ago Blake. And ummm just some more bad news from Ozpin is all. About my would be team. Sorry to wake you. Sorry I scared you Ruby. You ok?"
"I'm good! Are you ok? Do you need to talk about it?" the red reaper said with concern in her voice as she got up and collected the papers that scattered before hopping back up to her bed.
"No, no. It's ok. Just, you know, I still feel bad about what happened you know?"
"We understand Magus. If you need to talk your team is here. I'm going to try and go back to sleep. Night guys."
"Night Blake." Both Ruby and I said as she crawled back under her covers. I waited till Ruby was engrossed back into her studying then reopened my scroll. The message and Image attachment were on the group chat team CFVY set up earlier that day.
"Ok magic boy. We need to talk. Meet us in the Cafeteria bright and early at 6am" The message came from Coco and following behind it was an animated gif of me transforming, taken from the arena I was in earlier today.
*Smooth. First official day at Beacon and you've already blown your secret to some Second Years. Way to go.*
-Shut up you overgrown lizard. What am I gonna do about this? Ozpin can't know I already screwed up. We're still missing some rings! Plus it's nice having money.-
*I suggest we sleep. You're drained and not in the best state to think. We'll just have to wing it in the morning.*
With that he cut off the mental connection and left me to my thoughts till I drifted off to sleep. Where the same nightmare as before awaited me...
So this chapter was a bit shorter that the others, but hopefully the combat scenes made up for it. We only really saw Goodwitch fight all of two times and since it is canon that dust can change your semblance I decided to mess with it a little regarding Goodwitch's. Also FINALLY a Rider Kick for any of you who were waiting for it to happen. I had to take some liberty with that as well because as far as I could tell the series never had Land Dragon do a Rider Kick. Most of his Dragon Form finishers were with his Dragon Armaments. Anyways like, follow, and review. I tend to reply to reviews over either PM or on my following chapter so if you need clarification on something let me know! Next chapter should be up by next weekend.
