As my eyes open, the guy they call shadow is rolling on the floor laughing. He is laughing so hard tears are coming out of his eyes. The rabbit has moved positions away from him and is sitting on top of a desk. The spider is on top of the ceiling, looking annoyed. Wait how can I tell the spider looks annoyed? The man stands up and points to the spider. “Anaisa no take backs. Alexander will win. Look at this little monster.” He walks up to me and pinch my cheeks. “He is my blood. You can’t deny it.” I look around, helpless, not understanding what is going on. As I look around, the rabbit stares into my eyes. “Little one, you outdid yourself in our test. This was a method to teach a mortal about death, you instead went above and beyond and went to almost God level. In which we force Gods to become morals and survive. You almost reach the realm of gods. We are all impress how far you could go. You are leap and bounds better than other creatures of your level. You are the shadow’s kin. I will put this into my databanks for later.” The rabbit looks at the shadow. He puts his hand on my head and starts rubbing my hair. "Hey can the other two do that Anaisa? I am right in picking this brat. Rejoice this monster will one day become the leader of this planet. Now, Anaisa do I need to keep Isis here just in case to stop you from getting piss off again. I don’t want to turn around and see our planet destroy because one of these brats piss you off.” “No need. She can leave with you. Alexander have shown me a different side to these humans. I also I’m 100% sure Alexander will fail and I will win this game.”
The shadow snorts. “Isis stay here for a few days to make sure Anaisa doesn’t go crazy and destroy this planet.”
Yes, sir. This will be a great time to learn about this planet and its people.” The shadow snaps his fingers and disappears. The spider shrinks and jumps on top of my head. The rabbit walks up to me and grows in size. I back away from the huge rabbit but it grabbed me and gave me a huge hug. “Sorry little one for doing that to you. Next time we meet, I think it would on better terms.” It disappears. “Well, she is very nice. You aren’t getting a hug from me or the shadow. In three seconds' time will flow back to normal. 3, 2, 1.” Wait what. I am standing in the middle of the projector. My team looks confused. I got the remote from my pocket and stopped the video. “Therefore, you guys shouldn’t be specialists. If a fairy user that has our counter there is no way for us to win. Fire vs water, the water fairy will win almost 95% of the time if they get a pure fire user near or inside a body of water. The water fairy was a mermaid the bottom of the tier list. Someone that Elder Leo should have zero trouble with. Yet, once the person escaped into the ocean, it was game over. Let me tell you the difference between me and the elders. I want to win a war and they want control. When the barrier goes down, I promise that if we listen to the elders and follow their way of thinking. It wouldn’t take a year for the fairy user to take control of the world. I have other videos to show.” I move out of the projector way and start playing the videos I put on the drive before we left the archives.
I walk to the back row with Erica. She was reading her book on her phone. “That was mean. You know I hate that video and wouldn’t put it to show everyone.” She gives me a smug smile. “That is why I put it on first little brother. It proves your point very well.” Yes, it does but doesn‘t mean I wanted to see it. All I could do is a sigh. I couldn’t beat her in an argument. I don’t even know why I’m trying. "Erica is there any other surprise on the video, I have to talk to the elders.” “Nope! Leave the little brother, you have plenty of time before the show is over.” I stand up and open the door. Wendy sees me leaving and gave me a wave goodbye. I wave at her back. I quickly pull down my arm and left the room.
As I head out of the room, the spider on top of my head laughs. Ignore it, I have to ignore it. It is a powerful god-like creature and I’m only human. Yes, it is pissing me off but there is nothing I can do about it. “Hey, you know there were other people in the room looking at you leave? Yet, you only care about one. I wonder what the rest of them are thinking right now after that pathetic display. Hahah, I do not understand why I wanted to destroy this place. Just watching you interact with that other little girl is comedy gold. I am saving these so once it is over everyone aboard our ship can watch this terrible romance. A young woman is trying to court a young, dense man. She shows her emotions openly and the person she is trying to court doesn’t know what to do with himself. HAHAH. I love it. Young love is always the best. Don’t get angry the Shadow was the same. He was bad at this love crap.” I pick up the spider off my head and throw him. I summon the strongest fire I could and threw at the evil spider. The spider is tumbling in the air, laughing. It doesn’t even react once the fire engulf the evil little spider. The fire hits the wall and out came the spider that lands on my head.
“Hahaha, little one. It is ok the shadow was bad with his wife when she was younger.” One student at the school walks in on me shooting the fire at the spider. “Wow, I didn’t know the top student hated spiders that much. He basically roast one in the hallway. Elder Jessie might give me an award for this information.” He runs away saying out loud. The spider laughs again. “Humans are so dumb. Hahaha. This is fun. I should mess with you tiny humans more.” I roll my eyes. What a moron saying that crap out load. He would be an awful spy. Now what was I doing? Oh yeah, I return walking to Elder Jessie’s office. It took a few minutes but once I arrive, I knock on the door.
“Come in.” One of the older students tells me. I open the door and an older girl is sitting behind a desk typing away. She looks up and has a surprise look on her face. She must be one of the many disciples that the elders take in every year. “I’m surprised to see you here, Alexander. This will make Elder Jessie very piss or thrilled. He is a prick, so I hope you piss him off. It is always nice seeing him mad. We get a reward when he is angry.” She gives me a wink and picks up the phone near her. "Sir Alexander is here to meet you. Yes, yes, ok, I will send him in.” She puts down the phone and says, “Elder Jessie is in the room down the hallway, furthest door down. He says no need to knock walk right in.” I give her a nod and turn around to leave. I stop and turn to face her. “Well, I will piss him off so. I hope you get something good.” She claps her hands and gives me a thumbs up.
I walk to Elder Jessie room. I open the door and look at the office. It was nice and clean with only a desk, chair, cabinet, and bookcase in the room. I gave a chuckle. Elder Jessie, the perfect guy. He wants everyone to love him and puts up an act. I watch him when. I was younger. He used to come to the orphanage and give me crap. I could look at him and see his slimly smile. He is quick to angry and people stay away from him because of how he looks. I would say we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but in this case, the books is a child's book. Elder Jessie is the person you think he is. Therefore, he tries to make a fake persona, giving people's gifts and crap. To hide the fact he is short temper and that he doesn’t like insubordination. He wants everyone to bow down to his whims. Well, time to take off this monster mask and escape his shadow once and for all. I came yesterday asking for help today I will take this monkey off my back.
Elder Jessie smiles at me under his hood. I can see his perfect white teeth. Old man let me wipe that smile off of your face. "Stupid Elder give me the power of the entire school.” Elder Jessie face darken. He closes his mouth and looks at me with a stare that would send shrives down my back a few years ago. “Wow, what could happen in 48 hours Alexander in which I remember you looking at us Elders for help. Not looking, you were begging. Boy, get out of my sight. I will pretend this transgression never happen.” I walk up to his desk and punch it. Causing the desk to break in two. “Yeah, old man I just realize how much you old people are holding us back. This is the start of my revolution. Take your old butt and get out of my way. I have a war to prepare.” Elder Jessie stands up. He adjusts his cloak. He kicks both of the desk out of the way and walks up to me. He pulls his hand back and tries to slap me in the face. Tries, I see his slap from a mile away. I block it and punch him right in the gut.
I take a few steps back. I have been waiting for this day my entire life. I cannot believe it is here. There is no way for me to beat Elder Jessie, but I have a secret weapon. Erica and I figured out how to sense the elements in people‘s bodies. Well, first we need to get hit by the enemy first to discover their method since everyone is different. But once we have to learn it. We understand what an attack is coming by our opponent. I have been getting hit by Elder Jessie attacks just for this moment. Yes, I can’t win, but I can fight him to a standstill and force his hand. He is the strongest Jeonglyeong. His pride will take a huge hit in tieing with me. I just have to wait and counter attack.
Elder Jessie grows. I see him creating fire. Well, this is bad. He is using way more strenght than I expected. I created wind below my feet and shield myself with a stone wall. He attacks. Boom!. The wall gets destroyed and I fly back breaking the door and flying through the hallway. Before I hit the furthest door, I turn myself and kick off of it. I land on my feet in front of Elder Jessie’s secretary and gives her a thumbs up. She sighs and shakes her head. I kick open the door and leave his office. There is no point in fighting without an audience. I run to the training area. Well, I didn’t run. I flew. I had to because Elder Jessie was right on my tail. Heck to make sure he didn’t catch me. I have to shoot the after burners. While flying, I flew using the fire instead of air. I wanted to make enough noise that the whole school could hear me. I didn’t really need to since Elder Jessie was shooting different attacks trying to hit me. Causing explosion throughout the school.
The commotion was causing students to leave their rooms and classrooms. They look at Elder Jessie and I flying through the halls. Blowing them up. Oh, did I forget to mention? I was also causing more chaos. I was shooting down doors and hitting random things in the school. Also, random people but let’s ignore that. I took the longest route I could think of getting to the training area. We flew around the school causing destruction in our wake. I finally fly to the door for the training area. I blast it open and land in the middle of the weights. I throw the weights at Elder Jessie. He stops at the door and hides behind a stone wall. He thinks wall will protect him. Only morons show off this is the time for me really go all out. Boom! Boom! Boom! The walls crumble under my attacks. Elder Jessie kicks the remaining wall towards me. I pick up the weights bar and crush the walls into dust.
Elder Jessie wants to cut me down and creates swords made of wind. Wow, I am impressed. The air that Elder Jessie is using is flame proof. He created carbon dioxide swords. Usually when a Jeonglyeong use wind, they can’t control the elements inside of them. Yet, this man can counter my best element using the element that it should be strong against. I throw spears of lightning. I was throwing them with my hands and mind. The spears I throw with my hands travel a lot faster than the ones with my mind. I try to throw them in a place that causes a trap. When he dodges one, then the next one would aim at his face. The man instead of dodging the attacks grab the swords into his hands and cut them down. Well, he is the strongest Jeonglyeong. I might attack and beat him in a long range. Ugh, this will hurt a lot. I create two fire blades and hold them in each hand. I took a deep breath and turned them both blue. I take steps toward Elder Jessie. Elder Jessie smiles and walks towards me.
We got into 1 meter of each other. To be respectful, I hold out both swords. Elder Jessie gives me a confuse look for a second and touch both of the swords with his. We both take battle stances. The world around me goes quiet. I turn out everything beside the roaring flames and wind. I was waiting for the evil person to start the fight. As I was waiting, Elder Jessie eyes lock onto me. He wants me to make the first move. I shut my eyes and sense his body. I can sense him getting different elements ready to attack. He wants to crush me. He wants to show me my place in the world once and for all. I sense how he is in control of all of his elements. They were roaring to be let loose. Pop. Erica let out a small explosion. Well, she thinks I’m ready.
I swing my swords at the elder. He counters by dodging them and sending lightning my way. I dodge the attack as well and take a step forward. Our swords were intangible. We couldn’t block each other attacks with our swords. Elder Jessie had a way around this. He could defend with water, ice, and earth shields. I can’t. I had to concentrate all of my power with dodging and attacking. If I were to use other elements, it would create openings in which Elder Jessie can exploit. I had to manipulate the fire swords over the Elders defense. Each time he either dodge or shielded an attack. I change the shape of my swords to attack him in a blind spot. Which didn’t work because he didn’t have a blind spot. Each time I change the shape of my swords another shield pops up to his defense. His defense was perfect mines wasn’t.
Even now and then one of his attacks hits me. I could dodge only so much. But it really doesn’t matter I knew this going into the fight. I will lose if the fight lasted long enough. The thing is, I have been training for this day my entire life. I wish, I was a little stronger but we can’t get what we want. This was a fight of endurance. It didn’t take Elder Jessie long to figure out what I was doing but there was nothing he could do. I am younger and faster also I’m able to know where all of his moves are coming from. This causes me to take a lot less damage than fighting him without the knowledge. As the fight dragon on, I see the sweat fall from the elder face. I don’t needed to win just get him to save face. Elder Jessie face contort. His attacks stop being sharp and becoming lazy. “AGH!” I was able to burn his face above his eye. He gives me a glare and turns around shoots fire at my team. Well he have fallen into my last trap. Once he sent the fire at them he turns around and takes his sword to cut me. He thinks that I would get cut saving them. He forgot the devil is on my team. She easily defends her and the rest of the team allowing me to dodge the attack and cutting the elder cloak off. This is the best I could do with my limited strenght against a stronger opponent.
