Chapter 3- Put to the Test

That night, Akina finished up her studying for her three exams the next day by ten o' clock that night, and then she went up to her room where Kazuki lay on her bed, staring up at the wall, "Hey!" Akina yelled, when she noticed Kazuki was on her bed. Then the

two practiced the first spell they had from the book, Plazeru. They now had an offensive spells for their first battle, and that time was coming sooner than they had expected.

The next day was normal. Akina received more nineties and hundreds on her three exams, teachers praising her, boring stuff like that. Then she went off to cross country practice on this soggy, Thursday afternoon. The team was preparing for another meet tomorrow. Akina thought she was in good condition. When Akina got home, her parents were still at work, of course, and Kazuki was lounged on the sofa, reading a book. "Hi," he greeted her. "Hi," she responded, nonchalantly. Just then, there was a loud, booming knock on the front door. Akina thought the door was going to cave in because the knock was so hard and powerful.

Akina slowly walked to the front door to open it. Kazuki tackled her before she could open the door. "Hey!" she yelled, "get off of me!," she yelled in again. "Those could be our first challengers, get ready to battle," Kazuki warned her. Just like that, the front door obliterated in front of them, and this tall teenager with short, slick, black hair and brown eyes walked in, with an unusually big mamodo. The mamodo had short, blonde hair and blue eyes. Both figures were tall and wide. This must explain why they're partners, Akina thought to herself. Akina suddenly recognized the human, who was wearing nice, black pants and a red t-shirt with some sort of writing on it, as Kenji, someone who she knew from school. "Well, well, well, Kaori," said Kenji to his oversized mamodo. "We have blonde, little Akina here, with her even less powerful mamodo," he finished. "Oh, yeah!" yelled out Akina. "Let's see who's laughing at the end of this fight!" she challenged them. "Don't get them really mad," Kazuki warned her. "Don't worry, this will be very quick. I know this guy from my school. He thinks he's really tough, but he's really not," Akina reassured him. "He'll by running out the door, crying in two minutes," she added. Both humans felt very confident that they would win.

Akina and Kenji took out there spell books and held them in a fighting position. Kenji's book was purple. Akina read first. "Plazeru!" she yelled out twice. Kazuki shot two streams of plasma from his right hand, one at Kenji, and one at Kaori. They both dodged. "Is that all you got?" They both asked, challengingly. "Now let's get this party started," said Kenji. He opened his purple book and read. "Kokirosen!" Kenji yelled. Kaori shot two knives from his hand, one at Akina, one at Kazuki. "Holy crap!" yelled Akina, dodging the knife. "Flying knives! But it's only the first battle! No fair!," yelled Akina. Kazuki dodged too. "Plazeru!" Akina yelled out. Then Kazuki shot out two streams of plasma at their challengers once again. "Ahhhhhh!" they yelled. This time, the two DID NOT dodge the incoming attack. They both got hit with the plasma and started screaming for mercy as it hit their skin. "Aim for the book!" yelled Kazuki, which Kenji had dropped by this time. "Plazeru!" Akina yelled out. Kazuki fired a stream of plasma at the book and it hit the book, head-on. Kenji dove for the book as the plasma began to wear off. A quarter of the book was damaged, but it was still readable. "Come on, you idiot!" yelled Kaori, "Read!" he yelled. But Kenji could not do anything. His skin was bright red from the hot plasma, he could not move.

Without thinking, Kaori went charging toward Kazuki, his hand balled in a fist. When he got there, the mamodos fist-fought it all out. Akina picked up Kenji's book and threw it out the front door. Sure enough, he went out the door, crying and running after the book. Meanwhile, Kazuki punched Kaori in the rib cage, and then kicked him in the chest, which sent him flying out the door. Kazuki and Akina had passed the test for winning the first battle. "Woooooooo," they both sighed. They were happy. "We won!" They high-fived each other. "At least I'm in good condition for my meet tomorrow," Akina uttered a sigh of relief. "GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!" yelled Kazuki.
