Chapter 28 - Angry Man Vs Time Boy (1/2)

”Great show I'm seeing here,” said Mavislin, with a basket filled freshly caught salmon from the nearby stream.

Z had used his Water Element to allow the salmon to end up into the girl's fish basket. A favor he owed the young Valkyrie after the sparring session they had held a while ago.

Ysabeau was doing some interviews with the new Mages. Recruitment was a must for the organization to be on the map. Gillian was busy with some negotiations in the main area of the town.

Knowing the Headmaster, Raiyen was worried Gillian might get hurt from the mobs within the area. Z was uptight about the fact that Gillian might use spells against humans. Mavislin was more concerned about whether they can at least survive Gillian's aura, let alone when he releases any form of emotion.

”So then, Time Boy, give me all you've got!” challenged Baldwin, as his aura started to change.

A staff materialized. Well, it was finally time for Baldwin to try out his Ancient Relic. The group had skipped it earlier since it wasn't stable enough for the Dark Mage to wield it. The staff looked like a twisted branch, with a Pentagram on the very top.

”Hey, hey, since when I became the target for him to use that?!” yelled Raiyen, glancing at Mavislin.

The playful Valkyrie laughed as she shoved another fish into her mouth.

”Eyes front soldier!” yelled the happy girl, still laughing at the two as they began fighting.

The two clashed, staff vs daggers. Angry Man Vs Time Boy. Mavislin was looking forward to this battle's conclusion. As Baldwin prepared to send an attack towards the youngster, Raiyen went into hiding.

”Oi! No cheating.”

”It's not cheating. It is one of my abilities. I am a Time Mage anyways,” said the space behind Mavislin.

She turned around.

”You are still at this time. Just not in this place,” answered Baldwin, smiling.

He immediately gathered up huge amounts of Elemental Energy using his staff. The partners had expected him to use the move, but not this early.

”Here it goes,” he said as he swung the staff around.

Streams of black smoke were being absorbed into the staff. A dust cloud was about to be formed, but someone else was not going to have any of that. Raiyen appeared and sliced through the attack. This dispersed the spell all together since Baldwin had to block the sneak attack.

”I'm supposed to use it, why'd you stop it?!” yelled Baldwin, kicking the boy away.
