Chapter 2: Of Teachers and Students
The air blew through my cloak as I left the gymansium and headed towards the main building of the academy. Going through one of the side courtyards, my attention was drawn to the tree that was planted in the center of it. Underneath it were four people. A girl and three guys. The girl was at least 5 ft tall but it was hard to tell from this distance. She had dark brown hair that stopped just past the arch of her back, her skin was a very light tan at least. And it was plain as day that these guys were annoying her.
I've never been one to stand by and let things happen, so I made my way to them, all the while assessing my opposition. Out of the three only the Bahamun stood out as the threat. Well to a normal person he would after all they are descended from dragons. The other two however were specialists in different ways. The leader was a Diablos, and Fighter to boot, his sword and shield in plain sight. The third was a Human, he was the deadliest out of all three. It was plainly obvious that he was a ninja, however it was also clear that he was annoyed by his compatriots actions. I hoped that he wouldn't fight but I was peggin the chances of that around 50-50.
As I got closer I began to hear the conversation more clearly. The more I heard the angrier I got. "Come with us," the leader said "We'll show you a good time."
he said his tone and manner of speaking said another story altogether. "Hey, dirtbag, leave her alone!" I shouted. Turning around he shot me an annoyed glance before turning to the bahamun next to him. "Kraytak take care of this pest." A simple nod was the only response before he charged me charging a magic strike in his fist.
Clearly this bahamun was a monk, which put me at a serious disadvantage. Dodging his strike I could feel the power of his magic run through the air. Jumping back I began to assess my opponent. As mentioned previously he was a Bahamun (this meant he had phenomenal physical strength, and his endurance was nothing to sneeze at either, also bahamuns are descendants of the ancient dragons, in general many were egotistical about it and that made them hard to get along with.) which put me at a major physical disadvantage. This was proven when his knee came up into my gut, effectively knocking the wind out of me. Thankfully it wasn't augmented by magic otherwise it would have hurt worse.
Backing up and coughing I heard laughter, the source was the diablos leader. "Hahahahahah! how do you like that!?" he shouted laughing at my pained state.
"Kraytak can imbue his attacks with magic which increases his already tremendous strength!" he continued laughing as I struggled to catch my breath. Thankfully it didn't take long to get my breath back. Clarion appeared near my shoulder giving Kraytak a smoldering glare. "Summon me Marcus." he said his voice carrying a tone of finality to it. "Sorry Clarion but I'm going to do this myself." I replied and severed his manifestation from this world.
Kraytak was still near the tree, he was still facing me and had re-taken his stance. Not even bothering to wait he charged his fist gloing with magic.
Just before he reached me however a shadow caught his arm just before he reached me and promptly flipped him over. Looking at the newest person in this conflict I was surprised to see a Felpur Samurai wearing blue armor, a single katana hung from his waist. "You take the leader I'll hamdle this guy." he said a confident smile on his face. I nodded in reply and turned towards the leader.
