And yet another chapter to go through.
Hope this goes well.
I got up and got dressed yet again, grabbed my weapon along with Haruko grabbing hers and we left for Signal Academy like usual. Yang was talking about fighting, Ruby just talked about a cookie and Haruko was just reading a book.
The week was generally the same as usual, which consisted of training, learning, and occasionally having to fight someone.
Even after school, I would go into the forest and train my Magic and level up my Stats. Even learning a few new spells, resulting in me having a few higher tier spells but not the highest yet.
I always felt like I was going to have to get into a fight for some odd reason throughout the week, almost like I was going to be fighting someone a little beyond my power.
I was chilling with Haruko on the last part of the week, just reading and occasionally talking.
I then notice Yang walking up to me.
"Hey Yang, what's up?" I say simply
"Not much buuuutttt I want to test your strength." Yang says
I look at her confused as I tilt my head a little.
What was she planning here?
"What." I say
Wow, good sentence there me... then again that might have been the best thing to say.
Either way, it does kind of sound stupid to just say it like that.
"I want to challenge you to a friendly fight, to test your strength. Cause you've been gettin' stronger lately, I want to see how much stronger you've gotten" Yang explains
"Yang, I don't think Aaron really wants to." Haruko says
I get up and shrug, I don't really care to be frank with you.
Honestly, it shouldn't be surprising that I wouldn't.
There isn't a serious consequence of losing all the time, sometimes it's just missing out on a few EXP points.
"Okay, well I guess I'll fight you." I say
Yang bangs her fists together, creating small shock waves in the air around it which is terrifying if you couldn't tell already.
I really hope I don't regret fighting her because this would hurt otherwise.
|Quest gained|
|Dragon Brawl|
|Description: You were challenged to a fight by Yang... nothing much else really
|Objective: Fight Yang and win|
|Rewards: 100 Exp, 5 STR points, New Title, slight Social Link Rank up|
|Failure: 50 EXP, 3 DEX points|
|Bonus Objective 1: ?|
Yep, I'm gonna regret this.
Several minutes later...
I have been sitting in the locker room for about a minute now, I know Yang's semblance since it's the same from the original universe from when she unlocked it a little bit earlier.
She learned how to use it somewhat, and that could be a good thing since she doesn't know the full potential it has.
So that means it will be a lot tougher than any usual fight, my last fight didn't have any Semblances. That does means I'll have to be careful in this one, I'll have to use some of my most powerful magic in order to hold her off slightly.
I walk out to see Yang standing with Ember Celica in their bracelet form, and she seems to be in a bit of a playful mood. That'll make the fight a little easier on me, as long as I don't cut off a single small strand of hair.
I'll be able to win this fight, somewhat at least... wait, is that the Bonus Objective?
Ruby and Haruko are in the stands watching us, I really don't want to have them see this fight.
Considering I might get my ass kicked... no, I think it'd be more along the lines of me dying that I wouldn't want them to see this fight.
Maybe it's because of honor? I have no clue... meh, I'll think about it later.
"Ya ready?" Yang asks while getting into a stance as her Ember Celica turns into their DRSG form
"Yep." I simply say
[Ember Celica, Childhood version]
L: 100/100 R:100/100|
|Description: A less powerful version of Ember Celica, fit more for training rather than combat currently|
Nice to know that I have to attack something separately if their two separate items on one being. Would have been better this then during a fight with some bigger and stronger then me... that's for sure.
Wait, what are her stats even?

Shit, I kind of feel bad now... maybe I should go out and look for Raven when the time comes.
It'd be a lot more useful to have her on my side.
Story mode: 3rd P.O.V
Aaron and Yang stand across each other, it's dead silent in the arena, just like the previous fight he had.
Ruby and Haruko watch on, the young Rose with excitement and the Maiden with concern.
'I don't want Aaron to get hurt, he's... sort of like family to me... ever since he saved me... he's been nothing but nice... please win.' She thought
Aaron turns Vita's Pax into it's gun form and starts to shoot three shots at Yang, Yang dodges the first two but the last one hits her. He then turns Vita's Pax back into a sword and points it at her, he then suddenly vanishes and appears behind Yang.
He slashes her causing her to stagger forward to which she turns around and punches him with little to no success, he then puts his left hand out with ice energy building up in it.
"Blizzarda." Aaron said simply
A wave of ice went out of his hand and it hit Yang causing her to slide back a little. The two then circled each other, him giving off a blank look while she was giving a smirk, she went over to punch him and he hit her back with his sword.
She then slides back again, he was focused on another strike which then turned into a look fear as his face paled slightly as he realized what just happened.
A single yellow strand landed in front of them, Aaron looked at it for five seconds.
He looked up to see a furious Yang, he stepped back slightly.
"I did not mean to do that." He said as his ears went down on his head
Yang then pounds her fists together, creating a bigger shock wave then before. Yep... the kinetic energy is starting to work for her and now she's gonna kick his ass using the blows he inflicted.
He gets out an ice Dust crystal after finding out a day ago that if he clenches his fist hard enough, it appears and then throws it at Yang while transforming Vita's Pax into its gun form with time slowing down around him slightly.
This was a Sharpshooter ability: Focus Shot which means he can focus a shot of any kind towards something.
He charges a dark blue, he then waits for the right time to shoot.
"Blizzarda Shot." Aaron said, knowing the time was now
A blue beam then fired out of his gun and it hit the Dust crystal, it froze Yang's feet and that up to her waist thus stunning her. She looks at him angrily as she tries to escape the ice.
Aaron meanwhile sighed.
"I said I was sorry okay... cool down already." He said simply
Yang looks at him confused.
"Was that a pun?" She asked
He then aims his gun without another sound, as his body starts to slowly get more transparent and him firing in multiple poses.
"Multi-Shot!" Aaron yells
He then fired multiple shots all at once, it hit Yang lighting fast. The horn was then sounded, indicating that the battle was now over.
He then put away Vita's Pax and walked over to Yang while a menu popped up in front of him saying he gained some decent EXP since his opponent was a badass at fighting.
The menu even told him he completed the quest that he was given... which was neat.
He failed the Bonus Objective which was NOT cutting a strand of Yang's hair... what a total surprise that would be it.
Aaron's P.O.V
I walk over to Yang, I hold out my hand while Yang looks at me with pride.
"Cure." I say
Yang then starts to look a little better, the strand that was cut off regrew somehow.
That's kinda neat, I guess... which that helped me earlier when SHE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME!
Yang got back up and gave me a thumbs up after transforming Ember Celica back into its bracelet form.
"Nice battle." She says
"Thanks, I try." I say
Yang suddenly knees me in the gut, I fall over in pain with a loud groan. I get that I cut off a strand of hair but was this really necessary?
Regardless, should've seen that coming but OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT HURTS!
Luckily the pain beings to disappear slightly, but I'm still aching.
"That was cutting off a strand of my hair, now we're even." Yang said
I nod slightly as I get up, still in terrible amounts of pain. Ruby walks over and pats me on the back, which helps, a little.
Haruko gives Yang a small glare, while she shrugs.
"She does that to everybody after they win a battle after cutting off a strand her hair." Ruby says
"Yep, I see that now." I say, slightly annoyed
We then start to leave the arena as I hear a raven cry, I don't think it might be her.
But if it is, that will make my life a lot harder.
That much I can tell, suddenly a menu pops up in my face.

[Map Updated]
So there's a new quest huh, I might as well go do it considering the situation at hand right now.
I'll need to get stronger, just in case this thing is able to kick my ass seven ways to Sunday.
I really don't want to die again just after dying before.
Wonder what title I got?
