Sun Sword

A few miles from the Black Bulls base stood two separate mages, the tall blonde Vice Captain of the Bulls, Kai Elio. The other was one of the newest recruits and his protégé, the blue haired Alessandro Fabbri. The two stood across from one another as a gust of wind passed by and blew their hair back.

"Well, the captain officially allowed you to join the bulls." Kai began to speak calmly as he looked over to the young man. "We do have a tradition for those who newly join...but even I won't submit you to deal with that beast. So instead you will be taking me on." Kai then revealed he had his left hand tied behind his back. "This test will be easy to understand, make me use both my hands."

"You sure? Hehehe you really want to lose your right hand?" Ale asked with a chuckle as his grimoire flew next to him. "You do know you not taking me serious is mocking me as your student right? Your cloak already seals majority of your magic power. just using one hand is..."

"It's more than enough," Kai spoke up interrupting his student mid sentence. "Now, let's..."
He was then interrupted himself by Alessandro swiping at him with a black blade. The vice captain caught the blade with his metal-clad glove. "Well, you've gotten faster." Kai adds as he notices the aura around the blue haired swordsman, "Looks like you got Mana Skin down already." His eyes then got sharper and shoved Alessandro back.

Alessandro braced himself and adjusted his grip over his sword and took a step back. "*Even with Mana Skin I couldn't catch him by surprise.*" He thought to himself while staring at Kai before smiling from ear to ear. "Guess i'm still not quite ready to take you on yet...but that won't stop me!" He then charged back and used his mana skin to increase his strength and speed!

Sparks began to fly in the air as the constant sound of metal clashing against metal quickly filled the calm meadow. Alessandro swung his sword with extremely precise attacks at his Vice Captain! Kai intercepted each swipe with his single opened pal, knocking each attack away, one by one. The speed between attacks began to increase dramatically the longer the fight progressed!

"You know why we pick this competition to use for newcomers?" Kai calmly asked as he gripped the blade coming at him! He then suddenly pulled the blade towards himself, dragging Alessandro to him and slammed a headbutt on Alessandro's nose! Before he could react Kai slammed a kick onto his student's arm and sent him flying! "Because I need to see what you'll do when you meet with a foe stronger than you."

Alessandro's back slammed onto the tree and a loud thud was heard, his breath taken from his lungs! "Y-you don't let up even against your student...I'm glad..." Alessandro said with a smile on his face as he picked himself up. "In a fight against someone stronger than me, and escape is not an option. I fight, I push until i find an opening. Not with pure force but to adapt and dodge, conserve strength until an opening or back up arrives."

Kai smiled as he heard the words from his student. Despite how playfully and how cheerful he can be, Alessandro was serious in his endeavor. "Now i want you to fight me using all you've got. Force an opening, that is your next lesson."

Alessandro rushed back into the fight and cocked his sword back! "Gladly!" He cheered as he swung his sword out creating a mini wave behind it! The wave quickly grew behind him as it chased down towards Kai!

"*Hmmm...he's closing the distance, having his spell chased behind him.*" Kai thought to himself as the distance between them closed. "*He's grown a lot since last time...*" Kai then took a step forward and vanished as a bright light emerged! The wave crashed and Kai appeared behind Ale, slamming a kick to his head! But this time Ale drew another sword from his grimoire to block Kai's attack!

"That it!" Ale declared before lifting his blade and shoving Kai back and dashed forward!The second blade he drew began to manifest a blue aura as it drew close to Kai!

Kai lifted his hand to block the attack! As the two forces clashed against one another, the force created a gust of wind! Ale's blade slowly dug in, it appeared as though his sword was sharpening the longer they clash until Kai was force to take a step back and the metal from his gloves was sliced in half!

Alessandro's mana skin then disappeared as the aura around his blade doubled. "**Sword Magic!:**
onda di mana!*"" As Ale called for the name of his spell he sent out a grand wave like swipe of pure concentrated mana!*

"Son of a..." Kai said out loud as runes began to cover his palm and arm as he intercepted the grand wave by grasping it! The attack began to push Kai backward and forced him to dig his feet down. He then clenched his hand and teeth to send the attack directly upward!

As Kai's arm was lifted up just as he lifted the attack, Ale appeared suddenly using his own attack as cover and swiped with his first sword casting another wave!

Kai coats his entire body with his own Mana Skin with a golden aura! The wave then clashed with him as the sword slammed onto his sides! Kai kept his feet to the floor and was pushed back only a few inches! His hand then stretched out, grabbed the back of Ale's head and rammed his knee into Ale's face!

Ale tried to compose himself from that knee as his mana skin was weakened from his most recent spell. Kai then released a combo of three kicks, striking Ale's knee, another aimed at the ribs and lastly to the side of his head. Each kick landed back to back! Just as the attacks landed bursts on intense flames shot out against him! Ale was sent flying off his feet again and just before he crashed into another tree Kai appeared anticipating the rookie.

Kai stands on one leg and delivers five side kicks with the other leg extended out! Each one was stronger than the last, forcing blood out of his mouth!

"You used that giant attack to force me to leave myself opened. It was smart, you created your own opening. But you did this at the cost of your defence and left your own guard down."

"*He's fast, strong, and clever...I can barely keep up with him. He hasn't used a single spell this entire time*" Alessandro thought to himself as his magic power began to spike up as his eyes became fixated on the Vice Captain. "*His cloak seals majority of his magic power which is why everyone thinks he's just a regular mage. His speed and strength aren't anything to laugh at either. My mana skin enhanced attacks were blocked with his hand without needing to use his magical power.*"

"I dont care...I dont care if he's out of my league. I will make you use your either arm!" He yelled as his grimoire began to flip through pages before it landed on a blank page as a new spell began to fill in. His sheer willpower and determination to win, his constant examination of his opponent, it all invoked a new spell, one to fit the situation.

"*Do it...grow...grow Ale.*" Kai thought to himself as he raised his single arm and prepared himself for what was to come. The sensation in the air was thrilling for him. Despite his slight smirk, Kai could feel pure joy and exhilaration from what was before him. "*Little tiger cub*"

"**Sword Magic!: Inseguendo Drago!** Alessandro called for the name of his newest spell as his pure raw magic power began to flux around him, taking the form of pure blue energy! It began to swerve with extreme speed before he swung his blade out, sending the attack out! a massive dragon's head reached out and aimed at Kai!

"*A spell which makes reaching him harder. A spell that can act as both an offense and defense. Heh, damn kid.*" Kai thought as the giant dragon opened it's mouth and slammed down on Kai.

"All over Kai! Didn't mean to hurt you." Ale said out loud as he felt like he could actually win the battle.

Kai swiftly ripped the ropes holding his arm back and covered his entire body with a golden aura and grasped both sides of the dragon's mouth. He then yanked and ripped the spell in half instantly! By doing so he sent the force behind the spell back at Alessandro slamming him against a tree.

Kai then stretched both arms out and felt some cracks going through all of his arms. "Well, looks like i made the right choice of making you my student."

"Hahahaha! yeah!" Ale laughed and cheered despite a small rush of blood trailing down his forehead. "Best teacher ever!"

Kai then walked over, pulling out his grimoire and his pages flipped through. "**Sun Magic: Aura Curativa**" Kai called for his spell, as a pink flame wrapped around Alessandro, healing his injuries and slowly helping him regain his stamina. "Let's get ya set you idiot." Kai then warmly smiles before placing his hand on Ale's head. "My idiot student heh."
