104 Light Flash Student Vs Master Possession (1/2)

As the sun rose and illuminated a field, With three people spectating from a distance. A disciple and his master could be seen a few feet away from each other as they readied their stance with their daggers in hand. One was a young boy while the other was a young lady.

As the pebble which was thrown into the air slowly descended, the pressure being emitted by them increased.

The instant the pebble touched the ground, there was a flash, and they clashed.

The lady won the class in terms of power and pushed the boy a few meters back, however he maintained his balance and pushed back. He leapt at her swinging both daggers in irregular unpredictable patterns.

As she paired some and avoided other swings, she began to chant. Seeing this, in a near instant, he froze her legs, then swung both daggers simultaneously. She raised both daggers to parry them, the moment she did, he sent a kick straight at her open belly. The originally swings were a fake.

Right before he felt contact, she disappeared, leaving a trace of a dark air which instantly dispersed.

Without having to look, he could already feel her presence, he changed stances, and shifted his body from once side to the other. This caused him to avoid her dagger thrust which came from behind.

But he attack didn't end there, first a kick, then swings, the perfected version of the irregular pattern with most people wouldn't be able to dodge, much less predict, was being used against him.

He was being pushed back, with no openings to attack, he remained on the defensive, for a slight moment, he left an opening, and in that moment, he was kicked straight in the face.

Electricity started to pass through the boy's body, and to him, the lady's movements had slowed down. The speed of his senses had also increased.

He moved his body downwards and to the right barely avoiding the swing in the process. Yet despite it missing, he was still hit.

He stepped back, and looked over at her eyes as he heard her mutter ”Possesion”. A cold visible sweat was starting to form on his face. It was a move he was all too familiar with, and there was only two words he would associate it with.

Impenetrable horror. He knew that his master was no longer planning on holding back. So he himself would give it his all. His master's eyes became clouded in darkness and the air around her turned black.

With no other options, he surrendered

”I give...” He muttered with an annoyed expression

”Good fight” Said his master, somewhat impressed with the results.

”That's not fair master... Using possession... And Shadow step” He complained

”But freezing my legs and using Fulgurationem to dodge mine were?” She asked

Without being able to retort, he hung his head

”Raise your head, John. You fought well. To reach this point after only a year and a half.” She said with a proud smile

A year and a half had passed since that day. John was now 13 turning 14 soon, Ariel was the same age and serena had turned 16. John settled his birthday on the same day as Ariel's as he wasn't sure which day was the day where he came to this world.

His master had started to smile more often, John wasn't sure when it started, but when he first saw it, he thought that it fitted her.
