Showdown: Phoenix vs Powell

When Loki woke up, once again, he had completed a Daily Challenge.

[Daily Challenge 2 completed: +5 Xp]

[40/50 Xp]

Loki smiled sleepily. He just had to complete two more Daily Challenges and he would be able to level up. After washing up, he and the other four headed down for breakfast. "Hey," Terrence called to the rest of the girls. "How was everything yesterday? My first day was shit." "It was torture! I had to spend most of my afternoon running away from bullies, then I have to do my homework! I have no idea how any of us are sane now." Ava laughed. "To be honest, it's kind of stressful for me as well. How are you still smiling like that, Daphne?" "My parents use to let my tutor make me run through all these different scenarios of what might happen because I was trained to take over the House Phoenix one day, so I'm pretty okay with this."

"You're going to take over one day?" "Yeah. Not by choice, my parents aren't able to have children anymore, and they want a 'pureblood Original' as their heir." Loki made a face, gulping down some water as he said, "That can't be nice, knowing that you're going to take over something you don't want. Why can't your parents just have kids with other purebloods?" Daphne sighed. "No, they only want an Original that is purely from the Phoenix family. It is so annoying. Still, the upside is that I can get whatever I want." "It's a wonder your not spoiled," Terrence said, chewing his pasta. "What's your classes today? I have Weapons, Seraphine has Beast-ology and Ava has Abilities."

"Me and Loki have Combat!" Daphne squealed excitedly. "It's our first lesson together!" Loki smiled slightly. Daphne was always and optimist. "Don't be like that. I'm not that good at fighting, you know. I'll probably lose any fight I have in and instance."

Just then, Nishan and an unfamiliar boy walked up to them. "See, I told you, Saltavore. That Original is a traitor, befriending low-level scum like them." Saltavore sneered at them. "You're right. She's a traitor to us Originals." Loki quickly ran Inspect over him.

[Name: Saltavore Powell]

[Race: Ghoul]

[Hp: 35/35]

[Ability: Blood transformation]

[If he drink someone's blood, he can transform into that person for a certain amount of time]

'So he's related to Nishan?" Loki wondered.

Daphne scoffed at Saltavore and Nishan. "What? I'm being labeled a traitor for being a decent human being? Something you two don't even know about?" Saltavore used his hand to grip Daphne's arm hard as he snarled. "Listen, you Level 1 scum. I don't care if you're an Original, your below me. That means I'm stronger than you- Agh!" Saltavore quickly dropped Daphne's arm and clutched his face where Daphne had just blasted with electricity. "You listen here. I don't care if your a Zane, I don't care if your an Original, if you mess with my or my friends, I will shock you into oblivion."

"Daphne," Ava whispered. "Everyone's staring." Loki looked around and sure enough, everyone's eyes were on them. Daphne shrugged her of. "They should. I want to show them that low-levels can stand up to high-levels. "How the hell are you even a Level 1? Someone as powerful as you shouldn't be hanging around them, much less be a Level 1!" Saltavore exclaimed. "What level I am is none of your business. All you need to know is that I have no plans on being your friend anytime soon."

Nishan conjured up a fire ball. "Apologize to him now. If you don't, I will hurl this fireball into your face."

"Try me."

Nishan threw the fireball as Saltavore pulled out a longsword from his endless bag. Daphne dodged the fireball, but Saltavore's longsword caught her arm and left a long, deep gash.

Everyone gasped at the sight of blood dripping down Daphne's arm. Loki ran his Inspect over her.

[Name: Daphne Phoenix]

[Race: Elf]

[Hp: 22/30]

[Ability: Electric]

[She is able to conjure or manipulate electric/ electricity]

Daphne hissed at the wound, but used her hand to summon and electric ball and hurl it straight into Zane's face, then hurling another one at Nishan.

It seemed like an all-out fight was about to start when the bell rang, warning everyone that they had to get to class.

"You got of easy this time, scum lover," Saltavore sneered. "Next time, you won't be so lucky." As he and Nishan stormed of, she called out to them, "Are you running away like little cowards because you're afraid I'd beat you?" Nishan looked back angrily. "Shut up!" He and Saltavore ran off as the students in the cafeteria broke out in small giggles.

"Guys? We should get going," Seraphine said.

"You guys go to your classes first. I'll bring Daphne to the infirmary," Loki told them.

"Okay. Meet you guys later during lunch?" Terrence asked, packing his things.

"Sure. And if anyone gives you a hard time, let me know, kay?" Daphne said as she was pulled to the infirmary by Loki. "See you guys!"

As they walked to the infirmary, they didn't see the burning gaze of opal eyes, staring at them intently.
