The Summoner
Chapter 2 - The Test
The morning wasn't going to start to well for Taichi who was snoring away in his comfortable bed. Just infront of his door was Mimi waiting patiently for the right time to pounce on him and scare the living daylights out of him. She opened the door and smiled to herself. She counted in her head to three and pounced on to Taichi who was tangled up in the bedsheets.
"Morning!!!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Taichi started to hit everything around him because all he could see were the bedsheets and he had no idea who was on him.
"Hey, calm down Taichi! It's only me!"
"Me who?"
"Mimi."
"Oh. Would you mind getting off and never doing that again, please?"
"Oh man Taichi.. You're no fun at all."
"What on earth are you doing here anyway?"
"Well, we need to get to the townhall early today. So I told your mum that we needed to go soon and she let me up here to wake you up." She explained smiling at him.
"What if I didn't have any clothes on???"
"Look I've known you long enough to know that you wear pygamas in bed anyway it wouldn't of mattered if I had seen you naked."
"It would have too!!"
"Oh Taichi you're so impossible." She said walking out of the room back down into the kitchen.
"Am not!"
Taichi got out of his bed and picked up his clothes from yesterday, deciding that he should wear something clean for his meeting with Yamato he walked over to his closet and got some new clothes to put on. After at least ten minutes he had finished his breakfast and they were off to the townhall. They took the most direct route and as they got there they found loads of people with their children allready standing infront of the townhall waiting for the sign-up to start.
"I told you that you took way too long getting dressed! Now how are we going to sign-up?"
"Mimi be quiet there's somebody coming out of the town hall."
The townhalls doors opened and a little man came out with two other tall men and the whole crowd went quiet. The puny man, as Taichi put it, was holding a big scroll in his left hand and rolled it out infront of him.
"Hey Mimi, why is that man so little?"
"Because he's a Kamarian."
"Kamarian?"
"Yes, they come from a little town called Kamara and their body has tiger elements. For example the ears and the tail. They also have paws unlike other people. Also they have a thin furcoat all over their body."
"How do you know all this stuff?"
"Well, Taichi there's something called a library, if you didn't know."
"Very funny."
The little Kamarian stept up on a little stool and started to read out the text on the rolled out scroll.
"By orders of the High Summoner Ishida, villagers who qualify for the test have been listed on this list and once their name has been read out they may step into the townhall and sign-up. Only villagers aged seventeen and over will be allowed to sign-up and people over twentyfive will not be accepted."
The man started to read out the names one by one and soon after he had started Mimis name came up and after a lot of squealing she made her way into the townhall. Taichi waited long, nervously waiting for his name to come up. The list went on and on and Taichi didn't know that there were so many teens in his village. Finally after a long wait as the list was round about read out to the middle Taichis name came up and he rushed into the townhall as if there was no tomorrow.
The town hall had been decorated with flags of Nikata, which was a big city and happened to be the home town of High Summoner Ishida. In the middle of the room was a long table with Kamarians sitting all along it. It was like a big office all squished into one long table. There were little queues infront of each little man and as far as Taichi could see they were all signing people up. He looked for a person who might be free but they were all occupied so he dicided to queue up in the same queue Mimi was stood.
It took a while but soon it was Taichis turn to sign-up and the little Kamarian just sat there and stared at him.
"Well?"
"Well, what?" Taichi asked back confused.
"Your name."
"Oh, Taichi Yagami."
"Good, age?"
"Seventeen. I'm turning eighteen though."
"No need. So what is your profession?"
"I'm a shopkeepers-asisstant." Taichi answered smiling.
"Well, that's all very interesting but that's not what I meant."
"Oh, so what did you mean by profession."
"Are you a Mage, Warrior or thief or something like that so we can at least guess what sort of person you are."
"Ah, I'm half mage, half warrior."
"Half, half?"
"Yep."
"And what sort of fighting-style do you use?"
"Uhhh.... I have my own type which I thought myself. Does that count?"
"Ah, so I guess your not a registered fighter."
"No. At least I think I'm not."
"What sort of magic do you use? Black, White or defensive?"
"I..I...use a bit of all of them."
"I see. Well, I think that that's enough information. Would you please follow me into the next room."
"Sure."
They exited the main hall and went into a little room which had all the other people who had signed up at that little man. Everybody was stood on one the side of the room and Taichi sat down next to Mimi. There was something that resembled a scarecrow in the middle of the room and no one had any idea what the first test would be. The little Kamarian walked in without his scroll this time and looked at all the people in the room.
"So, as you surely know there will be a row of three short tests which you will have to pass in order to even have a chance of becoming a guardian. But you will not need to pass all of them, you only need to pass on two of the tests and you will still be let through. Two failures however will end up in being thrown out. So now I will show you what the first test shall contain."
He turned to one of the doors as it opened and a man in robes came in. He had two big swords in his hands.
"The scarecrow is your summoner which you need to protect and the person who just walked in is your enemy. So, the only thing you need to do is make sure the summoner doesn't get cut into pieces but there is a catch. You will be blindfolded and will only have one sword to defend yourself with. People which have completed the test may go into the next room. So let's start. Would a girl called Mimi come into the middle please."
Mimi walked up to the man and faced her back to him. He put the blind fold around her eyes and gave her a sword, allthough it looked more like a dagger Taichi thought. The person in the black robes started to circle Mimi and the scarecrow and Mimi started to jump around nervously.
"You will need to use most of your senses in this battle but the main ones that should be used are hearing and sense of direction. If you keep the scarecrow alive for more than five minutes you have passed. Are you ready Mimi?"
Mimi nodded in acknowledgement.
"Good, and start!"
The ninja like person carried on circling both Mimi and the scarecrow as Mimi kept on kicking and punching in thin air, where she probably thought she had heard something. It didn't take long and the ninja made his first move on the scarecrow and was shocked to see how fast Mimi really was. She had allready blocked the move before anyone noticed that she had made a move to try and block the attack. Although Mimi made the test look easy Taichi had a very bad feeling about it. Soon Mimis five minutes were over and Taichi gave her the thumbs up but he didn't expect that he would be next in line.
"Taichi Yagami."
The Kamarian called and smiled at Taichi.
"This should be interesting."
He put the blind fold on and took the sword and the test began. It was so dark under the blind fold and you could hardly hear anything. How on earth did Mimi do this so well? He thought to himself as he heard swooshing sounds coming from every direction he turned to. Then the ninja went for the first blow and Taichi could hear the sword cut through the air and blocked it in time. The first attack seemed easy but he was sure it was going to get harder pretty soon, and it did.
All the swooshing sounds had suddenly gone and Taichi couldn't hear a thing. Then he heard a weird noise and turned to see where it had come from. As he turned he stuck his sword out to block but heard his sword hit solid wood instead. It was stuck. But in what it was stuck Taichi didn't have a clue.
"Oh dear. Taichi you can take your blind fold off now." A quiet voice said through the blind fold.
He took his blind fold off and looked at the thing he had hit with his sword.
"That's not good is it?"
"Well, not usualy. This is the reason why we use scarecrows and I think that it is never a good thing if you pierce the summoner into the heart."
The sword was stuck in the summoner scarecrow and typically for Taichi right through where the heart should be.
"Well, lets see if you're better in the next tests shall we?"
"Yeah I think that would be a good idea." He said as he left the silent room and went into the next.
The next two tests weren't easier. The test after the one with the disastrous ending was all questions about magic and what sort of spells you should use in specific situations. That test wasn't so hard as the first and Taichi managed to pass it no problems.
The third test though was way harder. They made him fight a person who was allready a qualified guardian. All ways to the defeat were allowed. You were allowed to use weapons, spells simply anything that would help you win. It was going farely well halfway through the match until Taichis opponent had used a disarming spell on him and immediately cornered him of course turning into his immediate defeat.
Taichi was absolutely outraged that he didn't pass and there for was disqualified from the event totally, meaning his chances of being a guardian for Yamato looked very slim.
Taichi left the townhall and started walking back home as he heard someone call his name. Taichi turned around and saw Yamato running up to him.
"Hey havn't you forgotten something?"
"What?"
"You wanted to meet me at three. And it's five to, so where are you going?"
"Home."
"How come?"
"I'm not to happy right now ok?"
"Hey, did you take part in the test?"
"Yeah.."
"And how did it go?" Yamato asked with high interest.
"I failed."
