The day finishes but the succeeding one comes quick without notice. Tanji takes the same option, the train, to Grimcrest Combat Academy. Once he arrives, he still has something like an hour before his very first lesson. He takes this time to decompress and prepare for the day ahead of him. While doing this, he gains the incentive of going to the toilet to train his lightning ability.
However, he accidentally steps into somebody. He says “Sorry, sir.” He is a 6’4, 210lbs, lean and extremely athletic looking man. Tanji looks in awe and wonders to himself. “How strong is this guy?”
He promptly tries to read the stats of the teen but is slammed into the lockers behind him. The sound is almost like a gunshot. The teen’s vascularity across his arm is much better than that of Tanji’s, not even taking into account the way bigger size of them. He tightens a fis
Tanji wakes up slowly, and his weary body is steaming from overexertion. His body temperature is past 45 degrees, making him feel hot to the touch but also enhancing his healing factor. This makes his injuries heal much quicker than usual. Tanji says “Silvan.. Who is he?”“You’ve already come to the school and haven’t heard of him?! The Kane Lur!” The crowd react in shock of him using his full name and Silvan looks back around. “Oh, I shouldn’t say his name?” He thinks in confusion and slight wonder.“Do you see? I used his name and everyone’s already acting up. They call him Son of Lucifer because his fire control is so good. So is his potential!” Tanji stands in a peculiar manner, since he is covered in dark red crystals. “Why does he have to be so mean though?!”
The teacher drops down and grabs the heavy, massive figure of Kane Lur. He puts him over his shoulder and easily zooms back towards the school as if nothing was weighing him down.He runs through many halls, making many question the current event.“Son of Lucifer?!”“Who has made him that injured?! Must’ve been a teacher!”Comments like these are heard right across several halls. Just his presence stems an atmosphere of calm chaos. The sound is quite quiet but everyone’s minds are chaotic, trying to come up with reasoning to how Kane could’ve ended up in such an appalling state.The teacher reaches a school doctor and lays his body on the bed. The doctor quickly gets some tools to examine him and sets up some technology for a scan. With his quick thinking, he hits Alden right in his elbow with the True Power Fist. This rips his hand off of his clothing. This allows him to bounce up and land a devastating kick to his stomach with the Dire Slam. Alden flies off of his feet and thumps to the floor. Tanji drops down and grabs his sword then lightly waves it around and tightens his grip.Alden slowly gets up with a bleeding arm. He reaches over and literally clicks the bone right back into place. He wipes the dripping blood off and gets up to his feet.“What sort of power does this guy have?” He wonders. He loosens up his shoulders and his hands cloak in a wailing fire. The fire screeches and flails around like hopeless souls. His eyes glow white and his muscles slightly enlarge. His arms go a more grey colour as he extracts his power. Claws slowly grow from his fingernails and he firmly glares at Tanji.Will of the Infinite Chapter 54 - Runes?
The three friends, after finishing the final periods of school, decide to head to the School Library to talk things out.Silvan puts across a method of how they gain power. “We could spar frequently. Learn techniques and boost our fighting ability.” Alden says “That would be good.” Tanji replies with his own opinion. “That would be good but I think it’s fine for now. We didn’t get stomped by that Second Year Werewolf because he had better fighting technique. Now, I’m not saying he didn’t I’m sure he did. However, we both got hurt really bad because the guy was strong. If we get strong, like insanely strong, we could definitely climb the ranks.” Alden says “Ahh! And us supernaturals gain strength rather quickly.” Tanji says “Yeah! It’s another reason to do that.” Silvan agrees and they decide to all find a gym to go to.<
Silvan runs forward and gets right into Tanji’s personal space. Tanji says “Not gonna let me counter huh? Good.” Tanji lands a quick jab on his face then a good front kick. Both do little damage to Silvan though. Tanji runs forward and swings his claws. Silvan’s vamp speed allows him to dodge and cut Tanji across the gut. Tanji instinctively puts his arms down to the wound and leaves his head wide open. Silvan positions himself well and lands a great punch to the face. Tanji drops to the floor and Silvan punches him to the floor. He cocks back his fist by instinct and says “Sorry!” Tanji gets up and cracks his back.He shakes around and says “I’m fine.” Silvan says “Well, alright.” Silvan swings his blade and Tanji grabs the blade by catching it on both flat sides. He breaks the blade off then kicks his body back. He throws the blade towards Silvan
Silvan forms the blood into a strong fist with a sharp and long appendage. Tanji collects his lightning into a strong blade too. It’s about a metre long and is highly unstable. The lightning is constantly crackling outwards and this makes it hard for Tanji to control it. Tanji aims it forwards and says “800XP, huh? I’ve been losing too many valuable quest rewards recently. I need to get some new rewards so I can advance my powers!” Silvan makes a Hanging Stance and they begin the brawl. They both rush towards each other and Silvan leaps up.He dives down and slams with his blade. Tanji blocks with his own blade and slightly bends his knees to handle the force. He pushes Silvan’s blade back slightly and then gets some good distance. He switches up his stance quickly and pushes even more. Silvan uses his other arm and still loses ground.<
The time comes for a second fight against the werewolf blue-bots. Tanji is ready to lead and ready to win. He wears his P.E. uniform and checks if his lightning qi is doing alright. Lightning trickles up his arm and starts flowing and crackling around his hand. He waves it away and nods. “Looks good.” He notes to himself.He arrives at the arena where they fought previously and the same two teachers are present. Mrs. Klawfield says “Welcome again! As you can see, some of you are gone and have been replaced by others. For these new people, I will go over the lesson assignment once again.”Mrs. Klawfield goes on to explain the different rules and parts of the lesson. The group bundle up in the centre and Mrs. Klawfield says “You have 15 minutes to talk beforehand. The time you have left before the actual event will be displayed on that wall.” They both blur aw
The time reaches one minute left before the beginning. Tanji says “Everyone off the stage except for the vamps. Tanji runs forward and leaps up to grab onto the top of the wall. He pulls easily and gets up to his feet. He turns and the clock reads 55 seconds. The vampires prepare themselves by stretching and doing all other sorts of things to prepare. Tanji watches closely to see if his theory was correct.The hellhounds and ghouls rush to the front of the spectator area. 10 seconds are left on the clock and the doors slowly start to open. 4 Level 1 Blue-bots are dispersed from the doors. The timer ends and new labels are plastered across the room.Brandon grabs a Level 1 by the neck and crushes it with a simple squeeze. Another vampire leaps onto another bot’s shoulder and pulls as hard as he can. He falls back and off of the bot before moving away. Brandon leaps over that vampire and kicks another bot to the ground. The final b
