"Oh heavenly Goddess

Grant unto me power to smite my enemies

That I might -"

"Earth bullet!"

"Ouch!" That hurt you bastard!"

"What?"

"Where was I?

Right - Oh heavenly Goddess

Grant unto me power to smite -"

"Water bullet!"

"Fuck!" "smite my enemies That I might use to rain suprime against all opponents on the battlefield "

"Fire arrow!"

"Shit! Fuck! help I'm on fire!

"So did I win or should I keep shooting him?"

"Erm... Well I guess if he can't keep going."

"Wait a sec I will ask if he wants to continue "

"Water water! Erm whats the chant for water again .... Oh God Of the rivers and Seas..."

"Water bullet!"

"You bastard!"

"What you was on fire?"

"That was your fault you bastard!"

"Well this is a magic duel!"

"I know that, I'm the one who challenged you to a duel."

"Well stop complaining then. Anyway are you going to surrender or what?"

"Why would I surrender, I'm a Seventh rank mage and you are only a Second rank!"

"But you are loosing!"

"That not true you are cheating! I didn't have time to cast my spell and you keep distracting me!"

"What I just used magic to shoot you. Don't you know how a duel works?"

"Of course I know how a duel works I'm a Seventh rank mage!"

"Well what is the problem then?"

"You're not chanting properly and normally mages release there spells at the same time."

"What? I don't know about that but I checked the rules and it says that you just use magic to defeat the opponent. Doesn't mention anything about chanting or whatever."

"Now are you going to quit or what?"

"What why should I quit?"

"Well if you don't mind fighting half naked. It's just that your clothes are all burnt and wet and you look terrible."

"I will kill you next time I see you bastard."

"He ran away so I won right?"

"Erm? I guess so."

"You don't seem to sure?"

"Well everyone thought that he would win and that you would probably be half dead about now. Or crippled or something like that."

"Well I'm not and he is gone so I definitely won."

"Yes? I need to check, I mean how did you do that."

"What?"

"You used magic."

"That is because I am a magician, well I guess a mage."

"No! I mean I know that you are a mage this is a magical duel arena. We don't let just anyone. No no that is not important. What I mean is that you used three different types of magic. Earth water and fire but you didn't chant or anything. You got to chant to use magic everyone knows that."

"Why?"

"What? It's obvious that you got to chant stupid, how else are you going to call forth the powers needed to caste spells and use magic?"

"Well I just shot Earth bullets and fire arrows. It's not really hard to do! "

"Earth bullet!"

"See easy!"

"That's not the spell to create an earth bullet. You should say - Oh Lord of Earth.."

"Why bother saying all that I don't even need to say Earth bullet it's just cooler that way."

"What?"

"Bang! Bang! Boom! Pow! Sap!"

"See easy."

"What the fuck! Those weren't even words!"

"Exactly its just easier to say because I keep forgetting which type of magic I should be using unless I say Earth bullet or Water bullet."

"You just casting magic without even saying words, just making funny noises, of course everyone is going to say that you are cheating."

"If I hadn't already checked you for scrolls and items I would of thought that you were using cheats to.

"Well I'm not cheating and there is no rules on how long you have to chant for to cast a spell. In fact everyone is always trying to make chants shorter."

"Obviously everyone wants to cast spells quicker, so if you can reduce a two minute chant to one minute and fifty seconds then you can release your spells at an enemy quicker during a battle or war or something like that."

"Don't you know that chanting used to take four or five minutes when I was a kid that new two minute chant is almost as powerful"

"So I won!"

"What?"

"I won! I didn't even need one minute and I cast three spells and set that idiot on fire."

"Well I guess, you did use magic and he did leave. So ah and the winner by forfeit goes to..."

"Erm sorry what was your name again?"

"William"

"But everyone calls me Will."

"And the winner is William!"
