A New Enemy

Chapter 8: A New Enemy?

Kazuo: What's your plan for this upcoming exam?

Nendai: I have no clue. I'll be put at a disadvantage since my specialty is support.

Kazuo: You're not that bad at fighting though. Your best bet is to play for placement points. Avoid fights early on, remember it's one point for each opponent you eliminate.

Nendai: You're right, but it's not like the goal is to knock out an opponent. It's to grab their bells.

Kazuo: That's true, but you need combat skills to pull that off.

Nendai: Yeah you're right. Do you think we'll be playing at the same time?

Kazuo: Possibly, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Nendai: True. I'll be waiting for our rematch though

Kazuo: You'll get it one day. You still won't win though.

Nendai: Look over there (points to a crowd of students) Something is happening over there

Kazuo: Let's go take a look

They walk towards the crowd

Kazuo: Seems like a fight has broken out.

Nendai: Seems too one-sided to be a fight. The other guy isn't fighting back.

Furuta: What's wrong dude? Can't even fight back? Fire magic- fire ball ( launches an attack directed at the other student)

Kazuo: Wind magic - tornado fang. What's going on here?

Nendai: What the f*ck is this guy thinking?

Furata: Huh, who are you?

Kazuo: Just some guy who was passing by.

Furata: My business isn't with you. So get out of here before you get hurt.

Imamura: I suggest you listen to the boss man. You wouldn't want to get hurt now.

Kazuo: Are you guys supposed to be some big shots or something?

Nendai: I heard their from class A and that guy is Furata Iconse, from the Iconse family. They're a family with wealth and power.

Imamura: That's right, whatever you guys try to do won't work on him.

Furata: You understand now? So hand over that worthless thing, he needs to be punished.

Kazuo: What exactly did he do?

Furata: He's a guy with no magic and doesn't know his place.

Kazuo: You serious right now? So just straight up bullying the guy? I understand now

Furata: So you do? Now if you get out of here I will spare you.

Kazuo: No thanks, this guy is coming with me

Furata: You dare defy me? Imamura, Omori. Take care of these guys.

Imamura: Yes sir

Omori: On it

Nendai: Seriously, guess we have no choice.

Kazuo: Don't worry Nendai, I can handle this.

Nendai: What?

Imamura: Earth magic - Rush rock

Omori: Water magic - water bullet

They both launch an attack on Kazuo

Kazuo: Wind magic-Rising Tornado. (Kazuo stops both of their attacks with ease and flings them to the side ) That's all you guys got?

Furata: Useless. Looks like I'll have to do this myself. Fire magic...

Ms. Aikawa: Hold it right there. You do remember the rules, right? No fighting on school grounds. Now then break this up before I report this, this is your first warning.

Furata: (sighs in frustration ) Fine, I'll stop this.

Ms. Aikawa: Good, now go.

Furata: Say what's your name? (points to Kazuo)

Kazuo: Kazuo.

Furata: Remember this, Kazuo. This isn't the last time, I will beat you next time. Imamura, Omori Let's go. (They walk away)
