Crashing the Ceremony

The forest was coming to an end. It was evident to everyone there, which meant their final attack was imminent.

They all were aware this would happen soon. Junya had already decided on saving the demon crash for last, using it earlier would mean his body would effectively barely have any use to itself.

Creig thought the same of his attack, holding it as a trump card.

In front of Junya, he saw the golden gates wide open showing the pristine marble which made up the school entrance. Junya was still weary and didn't become tunnel-visioned.

Wenji a few metres to his left, facing his person head-on imagined it as heaven's gate.

"Don't think about it. This is what you get for not minding your own business!" Creig laughed mockingly zooming ahead towards Jacob with maximum speed. His surroundings speed past him in a blur, he smiled seeing the ground he covered within seconds.

'Witness my true ability!'

He raised his short sword once more, pointing in the air.

"Mystic scythe!" Following his words, his short sword shone with brilliant light while it billowed with mist, on both sides of the blade. As he ran the blade sliced the air in front of him. Along with the mist, he gave the illusion of cutting through the air.

Even if it was just an illusion, It was powerful. Junya was already preparing for this scenario and gripped the sabre as if it was his first and last attack.

He activated his demon crash ability which filled his sword with tenaciously fierce vibrations that shook through to the hilt.

Wenji reached for his waist grabbing even more vials. Four in each hand, between all his fingers. These however were radiating with colour which shrouded them in mysteriousness. He pulled the caps off with his teeth and poured them into his mouth.

Jack saw this gesture as a signal that he was reaching the end of his rope.

"Hahaha, you're done!"

His roaring jest gave him the motivation to go faster This was also followed by Wenji decreasing his speed significantly.

Jack's hand reached ever closer to Wenji's collar, barely brushing it with every push it was guaranteed that he would be caught, eventually.

'Your mine!'

It was a moment of truth and quick movement. Wenji spun around and spewed the mouthful of viscous green concoction directly into Jack's eyes.

Jack saw this and reflexively closed his eyes and brushed off the liquid from his body.

"Stop playing games! Come here!" Jack yelled angrily.

"It's already checkmated! You activated my Trap Card!" Wenji grinned menacingly. He was running backwards when he clasped his hands covering the Rune of Geia in his hand.

"Rune of Geia, Counter effect!"

Btooom!

A large explosion rang out into the forest sending gust of wind all around them. Smoke shot into the air a few metres before quickly spreading debris all over the forest. The explosion shot Wenji back barrelling forward.

His ability, 'Rune of Geia' was already deactivated and his body became useless to stop himself from being carried away by the source of the explosion. His body finished by skating toward the end of the forest.

"Arghhhhhh"

Jack's body was charred black, his eyes were badly burned and his vision was blurred. 90 per cent of his upper torso was burned badly, exposing the skin immediately below it, which caused him intense pain whenever something touched him.

This plagues his body since he was already moving at an insane pace, he was sent barrelling even further than Wenji and passed through the school gates where he frantically tried to cool his skin.

***

Less than 20 metres away Junya heard the loud boom.

'Dammit, did that loser get his ass beat?' Junya was concerned for a second, yet Creig would never give him the slightest chance.

"Impudent bitch! What else did you think was going to happen!" His shortsword bared down on him immediately not giving a chance for him to get away. The mist behind the sword made it bare heavyweight making the powerful attack deadly.

Boom! Woomp!

Both their weapons made different sounds when they hit together. Creig was surprised at his brazenness to take his attack head-on before he realized he used an ability of his own. He wasn't surprised for more than a second.

Forceful waves rippled from both weapons, making high-pitched screeching sounds that made them both grimace and clench their teeth as they pushed each other back. This continued to make the clash more intense with it starting to swirl all around them.

"Do you think you can waltz around and do anything you want?"

"That's my line. Weren't you the one that wanted to embarrass Wenji? I simply responded in kind. Besides your friend was criminally weak" Junya mocked his friend which triggered his nerves.

"Fine keep talking!" The struggle rose with intensity once more.

Crick!

"!!!"

Creig's eyes widened when he looked at the source of his sounds. He witnesses Junya's sabre slicing into his weapon. The vibration immediately invaded his body and started shaking his body down to his bones.

Creig gritted his teeth, continuing to push through the uncomfortable feeling, but he could feel the vibrations making his weapon harder to hold. Creig strengthened his grip but he could feel his joints suddenly slip from their blade.

Despite how hard he tried, he couldn't hold any longer. At that moment, Junya could have taken his lift, yet he held his hand. The mist tried to take away Creig, however, Junya grabbed his collar and threw Cregi to the ground.

Junya, sent three punches to his gut and one connected to his cheekbone sending him through the end of the forest with his excessive force.

Blood was left back on his fist which he wiped off before continuing. Rushing forward, he reached the end of the forest and he finally laid his eyes on the school's gate.

"Goddamit look what you did to the fucking forest! What did it ever do to you!"

Junya looked at the noise and saw a shouted muscular look man, shouting angrily, storming directly toward him.

"Wait Ronnen, don't scare the kid. Let all calm down and think about the situation first." A white harried man that stood on the podium called out. Ronnen wasn't the kind of person to listen to anyone, yet he stopped in his tracks at the man's words.

The man took a step and appeared in front of Junya. He had a serene smile and was quite tall, and gave off a humble appearance. His teacher's uniform was flash yet he wore it loosely.

"Hello, Your Junya correct? My Name his Nio Bystro. I am the Principal of GMCAU" Nio extended his hand as a greeting toward Junya.
