The atmosphere was cold Aeris who's been staring at Shiro, Aeris planning, she moves Shiro who flinched quickly gets in a defense stance, the ice that been spread all over the floor by herself destruct charged at him. Shiro surprised by her control, slashed at the massive shard of ice, but right when his blade touched the ice shard, it shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Shiro blood ran cold falling for her trap, hundred fragments of ice moved all around him, "So your stage one is control." Shiro manage a subtle smile, figuring out her stage one, Aeris devilish face smiled, no regret behind those dull yellow eyes, the shards alined and attacked, Shiro at the same time.
In the matter of time Shiro made multiple reflect bubbles, ice spreads everywhere, in the mist a figure stands above all of it, his face darken.
Aeris smile changed, Shiro didn't get hit, reflecting every shard to the ground
Shiro shocked by what he did quickly focused again grabbing the hilt of his sword he dashed to the side, making use of his bubbles, Shiro threw a harden clear sphere to her. Aeris out of instinct shot it, falling for Shiro trap the bubble burst and hundreds more fell upon the surrounding area.
"How much fage does he have?" Aeris questioned Shiro, "The regular bubbles don't take any fage." Aeris eyes widen to think that such a useless power like that is being push to its limits, Aeris summoning more ice shards, shot them in a frenzy. while controlling the shards she lost track of Shiro.
Feeling fage being used behind her she turned around, looking down a foot kicked shot at her chin. The world started to spin, Shiro wasting no time placed, the hilt of the katana behind her head, he brought her face closer to him, he jumped up and kneed her face, Shiro killing intent was high, stacking the attack he tripped her, pointing the sword closer to her throat, copying Aurelia and ending the match, they had no hard feelings after since it was only a spar.
The sun was a dark golden color, rays of sunlight piercing the gaps of the mountains, A pale boy, brown curly hair moving in the same motion repeatably, dark brown eyes that looked like a deep void, swinging a sword in a up and down motion, sweat running down his face,
6995, 6996, 6997, 6998, 6999, 7000. Shiro flopping to the ground, his face looking even more whiter than before, sweat rolling down his body, eyes hollowed from any emotion. "You want to lose again!" Marigold was pissed off, her face being beet red "If you haven't have won that spar with Aeris it would have been doubled!" Marigold was tired, "Last thing you have to do today is to climb that mountain over there, once you reach the top, bear crawl the way down." Marigold said it in a way that made the task sound easy, "Easier said than done," Shiro looked at her dumbfounded.
Fatigued already kicking in, Marigold just looked at Shiro saying nothing and walked away.
Shiro already thinking about the struggle of climbing the mountain, why did i have to spar with Aurelia, Shiro thought to himself having regret. "THIS MOUNTAIN IS A DAMN SKYSCRAPER!" Shiro yelling loud enough to make sure his sister hears.
Shiro looked up, tears already rolling down his face.
Aeris laying on her bed, rubbing her face thinking about how her spar went, I lost to a man who uses bubbles for crying out loud, she remarks to herself, hearing the door open she's gets ups "Shiro!" she yells expecting to see him with a big smile.
Opening the door her eyes widen, "You left just for a few hours!" she yells out, Shiro hair was a mess, leaves, plants, and other things you would expect outside was in his hair, his face looked like he hasn't eaten in years, face paler than a ghost, scratches all over his body, and dirt marks everywhere. His training clothes all torn.
"Let me treat you up," Aeris face full of worry for her roommate, "let me first take a shower," Shiro voice raspy, getting out of the shower he was worn out, his sister training really put a toll on him. "Follow me," Aeris grabbed his hand and brought him to her room, this was Shiro first time seeing it.
The floor the dark brown, walls being a pink, in the middle was a pink circle carpet, all over the walls we're different cartoons, Shiro only recognizing the bear cartoon, next to the door was her shelf full of different manga, in the left top corner was her bed, pink sheets.
Aeris lays his head on her lap, her bed is conformable unlike mine Shiro thought being jealous, Aeris started to treat his injuries with a med kit "So what happened to you? Did you get in another fight?" Aeris full of worry "No I lost a spar with Aurelia not long ago, and my sister made me train again." Shiro face was loose being treated, his body also loosen "SISTER?!" Aeris was shocked knowing Shiro had a sister. She questionably asked who his sister was "Marigold one of the higher ups, one of the fage teachers, how did you think I got in this academy?"
Aeris still surprised started to match up all the pieces, I mean they do look identical.
"I'm not surprised you didn't know, since this cruel world only cares about legacy's, we can't even have the right of a last name." Shiro closed his eyes feeling his conscience slowly fading away. Aeris finished up treating his wounds thinking how amazing Marigold was but her being related to him don't make sense, I mean they fight differently. Aeris can only make this claim by watching Marigold spar with a student.
Aeris noticed, Shiro was fast asleep, taking a second to realize that they are going to sleep in the same bed. Her face turned pink, blushing like crazy. "Just so it doesn't seem weird I'll face the opposite way," her voice trembling.
Tucking her and Shiro both in bed her face still pink takes one more glance at him and falls asleep.
In the midst of a gray sky, the sun in fragments, stands a little town, in the town stands one in particular a building the color of old coffee, stones tucked tightly on the side, foggy windows. The door creaking open, stands a group of men, each having a different appearance. Some have foxlike ears, Body sizes of mountains, some short, the smell of beer fills the building, laughter, jokes, and fights going on.
In the crowd a man with a black tunic, chains wrapping all around him. His hair moved like snakes almost alive his face paler than the fizz in his beer, red eyes so dark it was black. "Oh yeah I bet five gold pieces that Raian would win," the man voice trembled moving side to side not being able to understand what's going on.
