Hey peoples. I'm back for another chapter. 2 in a row, awesome. Well, it would be if this probably wasn't my last chapter until Tuesday. Not unless my work schedule changes. I pray it does. So all of you who like my story, pray for me as well so you can see more of this fic more often.
Anyway, we've finally reached Volume 3. YAY! I know a lot of time passed between the events of the dance and the beginning of Volume 3, so just assume that after the dance, Team MAPL went on one of those missions with a real huntsman/huntress and were absent during the events of the breach.
Last note, this chapter isn't really so much a chapter as much it is a test of my ability to write an extended fight scene, rather than the short fight against a single Grimm like I've been giving you. I have a lot of long fight scenes planned for the upcoming chapters, so I need to know if I can do them well. If I do, let me know. If I don't, give me tips on how to improve my fight scenes. I want to write to the best of my ability. There will be a little bit of plot at the end of the chapter, but for the most part, it's just a bunch of fighting.
With that said, let's get this party started.

*Set during the first rounds of the Vytal Tournament*
*3rd person P.O.V*
"Hello and welcome to another thrilling match in the Vytal Tournament! This will prove to be an interesting fight, right Bart?"
"Indeed, Peter. For this match up, we have Team MAPL of Beacon going up against Team SUPR of Atlas."
Both teachers were gearing up for a thrilling match up for the tournament. All the spectators, especially those from Vale and Atlas, were cheering loudly for the fight that was about to occur.
The terrains were then chosen, half of the arena would be that of a burnt forest, while the other half would be that of a swamp.
"Alright, Team MAPL, are you guys ready?"
"Mary, I'm still not sure this is a good strategy."
"Shut up, Lucas."
Mary's strategy involved 2 of her teammates taking on one member of the enemy team, for a 2 on 1 advantage. Once the first 2 members were dealt with, they would focus on the remaining 2.

BEGIN
"Povelitel, Azazel, go for the guy with the axe! Lucas, you and I will attack the girl with the staff."
Povelitel immediately froze time and went up to the one with the axe, grabbing the weapon and throwing it away. Then he swung his sword at him, knocking him to the ground. After that, he deactivated his semblance.
"OOF! What happened?"
"You fell victim to my semblance. Now prepare to be eliminated from the tournament."
Povelitel raised his sword again, prepared to strike down his opponent, when all of a sudden, he was kicked really hard in the back, sending him a few feet away from his enemy.
"Oh, it seems as if no one is safe from the semblance of Rojo Calour."
"What? What is Port talking about? What is this guy's semblance?" Povelitel thought to himself.
"Indeed, Mr. Calour's semblance is extreme elasticity. He is able to stretch any part of his body up to 20 feet." Said Oobleck.
"Well, that explains a lot" thought Povelitel.
But before he could react again, he was grabbed by Rojo and thrown through one of the burnt trees, knocking out a considerable amount of his aura.
"Had enough yet?" Rojo said to his opponent.
In response, Povelitel activated his semblance again. Due to losing some aura, he was unable to fully freeze time, only slow it down. But it was enough to make him see that Rojo was stretching out his arm to wrap around him again. To counter this, Povelitel redirected the arm so it started wrapping around one of the larger of the burnt trees. Then he swung the Blade of Ghidorah at the base of the tree completely cutting it down.
Once that was done, he deactivated his semblance, and the tree was brought toward Rojo, rather than Povelitel. The force of the impact was enough to knock Rojo into one of the swamp's mud puddles, which took out a great deal of Rojo's aura.
"Man, that was rough. So who's left?" Povelitel thought.
"And with that one blow, Mary Sawyer and Azazel Phillips have been eliminated." Port said to the audience.
"Damn"
This is where Mary's strategy went wrong, in focusing 2 of her teammates on one single opponent, she neglected, and underestimated, the other opponents. Now it was just Povelitel and Lucas against 4 different opponents.
Povelitel immediately went after his original opponent, the one with the axe. He swung Ghidorah at the axe wielder, but was unable to land any decent blows. He then activated his semblance again, and was then able to land a few more decent hits, even putting the axe wielder's aura in the red, but he still did not see the stretched out arm until after it wrapped around him and constricted him like a snake.
The forced constriction knocked out even more of Povelitel's aura, forcibly deactivating his semblance.
"Did you forget about me? I'm hurt." Rojo sarcastically said.
Before Povelitel could respond, Rojo flung him out of the arena, technically eliminating him.
"And by technical knock-out, Povelitel Vremeni is eliminated. Now the only one left is Lucas Inoue." Oobleck stated to the audience.
"This won't last long." Povelitel thought to himself.
And indeed it didn't. Once Povelitel was out, the 3 remaining members of Team SUPR surrounded Lucas. He gave a weak 'hi' to them, and then they beat him up until his aura was in the red.
"And with that, the last member of Team MAPL has been eliminated. Team SUPR wins!"
There were monstrous cheers from the Atlas spectators, and a few respectful cheers and claps from the spectators of the other 3 kingdoms.
*Povelitel's P.O.V*
Damn, I can't believe we lost like that. Really, how did Mary think that this strategy would be a good idea. I ought to tell her off.
"Honestly Mary, what in the world convinced you that that strategy would be a good idea?"
Crap, Lucas beat me to it.
"We cannot afford to neglect any of our enemies in combat. Lest we wind up defeated like we just were. I too, wish to know how you came up with such a flawed…"
"ALRIGHT, I GET IT! THAT WAS A BAD STRATEGY! YOU GUYS DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP SHOVING THAT DOWN MY THROAT!"
Jeez, I never thought Mary was such a screamer. Besides, I didn't even get the chance to say anything, only Lucas and Azazel.
"Look, next Vytal Tournament, when we're third years, I promise I'll come up with a new strategy, one that will guarantee us the win. Let's just go and watch the next match."
"You guys go ahead, I'm gonna grab a snack. I'll catch up."
"Suit yourself, Povelitel."
My stomach has been growling at me ever since before our fight began. Time to satisfy it. Now, where is the nearest snack bar? Ah there it is.
"One large bag of popcorn, please."
"Make it two."
Who said that? Oh, it's Yang. Here's someone who might be able to make me feel better…. Should I ask her? Should I ask her that question? I think I will.
"Hey, Pov. Sorry you lost your match."
I'll ask her shortly.
"It's fine. I don't blame myself. I blame Mary and her stupid strategy. Honestly, it might be effective against the Grimm, but not against opponents who can actually think. Good job against team ABRN, though."
"Aw, thanks, Pov. Catch you later."
The time to ask her is now, Povelitel. Do it!
"Hey Yang."
"Yeah?"
"Are you… busy, next Saturday night?"
"Not really, no. Why?"
"Because…I was wondering… If you wanted to go… with me… to a nice restaurant I know about… in downtown Vale. Just the two of us."
"Ooh, Povelitel. Is this a date you're asking me on?"
"Well…I…Err."
Dammit! Why is this so hard?! Why can I not form words anymore?! Why can I not stop blushing?! This is so embarrassing!
"Chill out, Pov. I'd love to go with you."
Di-did she just say yes? SHE SAID YES! PRAISE MONTY OUM! HAHAHAHA! YES!
"Sweet. I'll be outside your dorm room 'round 7 PM that night."
"See you then, Pov."
Well, with that done, I assume you guys know what I'll be writing about next chapter. Unfortunately, I don't see the next chapter going up until Tuesday. Whatever, that's not so bad.
On a side note, Team SUPR was what I was originally going to name Povelitel's team, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized giving my OC a team name that sounded like 'super' was too obvious. So I changed it. In the end, I'm glad I did.
All trivia aside, how did I do this chapter? Again, I want you guys to tell me how I did writing my fight scenes. If I did good, great. If not, tell me how to do better with them. There will be a lot of fight scenes in the following chapters, and I want them to be as good as possible. So please, give me feedback.
Until Tuesday, Sayonara!
