Summary: I was born into this world alone, knowing nothing but fear and despair. All that changed when he found me; he took me in and gave me a purpose, a reason to live for. It was because of him I was able to become strong, it was through his teachings that I might be able to achieve greatness. He was my teacher and my father, the dragon of lightning, Anorak.
Silent Sword Guild Hall – Year X784
Ryouta walked into the guild after Ren and when he opened the door all he could do was smile at how the guild looked. The inside was smaller than you would have thought if you had looked only at the outside structure. Right on the other side of the door there was a long hallway that led to a single room. Ryouta waited for Yui to come inside before he began to walk down the hallway with her. At the end of the hallway was the bar and mission board although it had nothing on it. The bar was a wide open area and there was a spiral staircase behind the bar that led to an upstairs balcony that overlooked the surrounding area. In the middle of the room was the tables and each were about 5 feet apart and were made in a circular shape with curved benches instead of chairs. At the end of the room there was a door that had a sign above it that read arena. Ryouta looked at Yui before saying, "Ladies first." Yui punched him in the arm and then proceeded to the door and opened it walking into the room where she let out a small gasp, on the other side of the door there was an arena the size of a theatre with a single area filled with sand in the middle with a large amount of chairs surrounding the sand filled arena. The arena also had an open roof and in the middle of the arena was Ren staring at both Ryouta and Yui.
Ren stared at the group for a little while longer before finally deciding to speak. "Took you guys long enough, did you get lost on the way or were you just amazed by my architectural genius." Ren pointed at Ryouta before saying, "Yo, Ryouta come down here and Yui you could sit in any of the chairs, this won't be long."
"Ren, you sure have gotten cocky since we last met, I might just have to teach you a thing or two about what real strength is like." Ryouta began to circle around the arena while Ren did the same each staring at each other while slowly waking in a clockwise circle.
"Ryouta last time we fought I lost but this time I won't lose to you. I hope you don't mind if I start us off." Ryouta shrugged and shook his head saying it was fine. "Okay then I'll finish this in 3 moves, Shadow Make: Shield, Shadow Make: Sword." A Sword of Darkness appeared out of Ren's left arm while a large kite shield appeared on his right arm. Ren charged at Ryouta with his shield in front of him and his sword trailing behind him leaving a trail of shadows. Ryouta began running towards Ren using his lightning magic to increase his speed. As they got closer Ren threw his shield at Ryouta which surprised him but he quickly jumped out the way doing a series of front flips before landing behind Ren.
"Sorry Ren but I'm going to finish this right here and now. Lightning Dragon Crushing Talon." Lightning enveloped Ryouta's hand as he swung his hand backwards with force aiming for the back or Ren's head but Ren swirled around and parried Ryouta's strike with his sword before stabbing forward slicing the side of Ryouta's cheek. Ryouta followed up his earlier attack with a lightning encased fist that rammed into Ren's stomach that sent him skidding back almost to the end of the arena but Ren stopped himself by slamming his sword of shadows into the ground pulling him to a stop. When Ren looked back up and he was staring at Ryouta's foot which was also encased in lightning.
"Lightning Dragon's Thundering Tail" Ryouta smashed Ren's head into the ground burying his face into the arena sand. Ryouta grunted before saying, "Guess you were all talk huh Ren." Ryouta looked down at Ren's body before blinking in surprise when it dispersed into shadows.
"Shadow Make: Clone, has very practical uses don't you think, and what was that about me not being all talk." Ren focused his eyes before charging at Ren striking in a forward motion with his sword. Ryouta dodged each strike only by the fraction of a second while he kept moving backwards until he had finally hit the wall. "I'm done playing around, Shadow Make: Great Sword." Ren's shadow sword transformed into a large two handed sword with a round guard that extended past the edge of the sword, the hilt of the sword was long and had a round orb at the end of the hilt. "This time I'll win" Ren started swinging the great sword at Ryouta moving it with precision and speed making Ryouta dodge with less than a second to react.
'I don't remember Ren being this strong, he must've been training extremely hard to get where he is now but he wasn't the only one training.' Ryouta thought this while he dodged one more time and then encased his hand in lightning and caught Ren's shadow great sword. "Ren, I can't believe you've gotten this strong in only four years, it's amazing the change in strength you made but I've also grown in power and let me show you the difference between you and me right now." Ryouta shot a spark out of his hand that sent Ren flying away from his sword and into the wall. Lighting began to engulf Ryouta's body as he charged his final attack. "Ren prepare yourself, I'm coming at you with all I got." Lightning began sparking off of Ryouta, blasting holes in the ground and leaving electrical charges in the ground. "I haven't had much time to practice this attack but it's one of the only secret arts that my father left me with and I'm going to show you what it can do, full power. Lightning Dragon Secret Art: Lightning Canon" Ryouta crashed his hands together and a small ball of light began to form in front of his hand as the light got bigger lightning began to crash through the ceiling and blasting everything around them destroying the arena. "Take this Ren, take all my power." The ball of light shot a humongous beam twice the size of Ren as it began shooting towards him. Out of nowhere the beam of light became enveloped by a dark watery substance that stopped the attack in its tracks.
"Will you two stop with the fighting; I come back from the magic council to see my guild being destroyed by people who aren't even official members of the guild yet." Ryouta looked up to see a man walking out of the door that led to the arena; he was a middle aged man, whose hair was starting to gray, he wore wrappings around his waist that went from his waist to his lower chest leaving the top half exposed, below his waist he wore a dark blue pair of pants and was barefoot. "Ren, as the creator of the guild I would've thought that you of all people know that there were supposed to be no fights or people to come inside the guild until I came back from the council."
"Sorry Kyouga, I only wanted to show my friends around the guild and the battling part was to see which of us is the strongest." Ren explained the situation in detail to Kyouga while Yui walked into the arena and began talking to Ryouta.
"Ryouta, that was a pretty good fight, I never would've thought that Ren would become so strong, but you surprised me the most; why didn't you tell me that you learned a secret art." Yui crossed her feet and tapped her foot on the arena floor waiting for him to respond. Ryouta began to open his mouth before he was interrupted by Ren.
"Ok guys master cleared us of any punishments and I have one question for you guys. Are you ready to become full-fledged wizards, ready to start on the journey of becoming the strongest guild in Magnolia?" Ren stared at both of them giving them a few seconds to respond.
"I thought you'd never ask, now begins the adventures of team Ragnarok." Ryouta, Ren, and Yui raised their hands at the proclamation of their team name.
"Well now that you guys have yourself a name, I got a mission from a very high class citizen in Hargeon Town, apparently there is a rouge wizard stealing valuable items from the rich and apparently he uses lightning magic like you Ryouta; he also strikes in plain daytime and it is usually attacks at random so finding him won't be the easiest thing to do. The client thinks that he will be next and that's where you three come in." Kyouga glanced at the three knowing that they would accept the mission he began to walk towards his office that is stationed at the top of the large castle. 'Looks like it time to start getting the word out, there's a new guild in town that's going to rise to the top faster than any guild has done before.'
