Snippet #2746710

As Yuna heard his brothers resolve, he couldn't help but look into his eyes and confirm his determination himself. After all, they had fought and trained along side each other sure, and wrestled with each other casually, or showed each other a new move they created, but they never seriously fought each other before. This was a total new one. Not only that, their powers were either identical or contrasted each other, so it was an incredibly equal fight. They could also share thoughts and feelings, though it wasn't total sharing and they could have some private thoughts. After all, they would essentially be a hive mind and not two seperate individuals linked together by a strong bond otherwise.

Actually, technically speaking, Yuma's Repulsion Field was better for combat, but inversely Yuna's Attraction Field was better for utility and abnormal uses. He nodded to his brother's determination, and took some distance as he did stretches that mirrored Yuma's.

"Alright then! Lets do this! Duel, engage!"

"Detected Both Sides have agreed to the Duel. Generating Combat Zone, Phasing and Isolating from Real World".

It was a bit surprising, but a somewhat feminine artificial voice spoke up once Yuna had said it out loud. He was a bit shocked that Yuma had not needed to say anything, but in truth the Zone System had detected their telepathic communication and understood this. Because Yuma had not agreed to what Yuna said, but requested a fair and open duel, he became the requester, and since Yuma replied, even though it was out loud and not a telepathic communication, it registered that as an acceptance.

Because of that, what appeared to be a transparent barrier formed around Yuna and Yuma. On the surface, that appeared to be all that happened, but in truth the real world was actually taken out and replaced with a fake generated world. In other words, any damage done to the envirornment during the duel would not be there after the duel was over. This was how damage was prevented to the school.

Yuna and Yuma immediately unleashed attacks at the same time. Yuna created an attraction field behind Yuma to try and get him to fall on his stomach, since the first thing to be attracted would be his brother's legs and feet. At the same time, Yuna shot out a repulsion field to boost himself towards his brother and also to knock his brother down on his back. Yuna tried to dodge, but Yuma knew how he dodged and had a second attack nail him. Yuna also anticipated this and created another attraction field to pull Yuma in and make him get hit by his own attack.

The result was that Yuma got pulled into the repulsion pulse at the same time it hit Yuna, causing them both to take damage. Yuna then quickly grappled Yuma and threw him over his head behind him, but Yuma managed to grab on and twisted one of Yuna's arms around at the same time. Yuna was able to pivot around to counter, but Yuma then did an eyepoke attack! TO counter this, Yuna was able to shove his fingers into Yuma's nose first and throw him off, but caused his body weight to shift over and fall onto Yuna while he sneezed outward and caused Yuna's fingers to be repelled from a repulsion field he fired hidden with the sneeze.

The two quickly sprang up at the same time, and tried to counter each other...by pulling down each other's shorts?

"You two...stop hesitating!"

The two got startled by those words and pulled back...only to trip on their own clothes and fall at the same time. However, after pulling everything back up and getting things into place, the reconfirmed their determination. Although they started serious, it was pretty clear the twins attacks had dwindled in seriousness progressively as the duel went on. They didn't realize it till that last part, and it meant they really had to try hard to keep it going seriously.

"Spirits of nature, disable my opponent with spears of fire!"

"Spirits of nature, disable my opponent with spears of ice!"

The two launched simultainous attacks on each other by calling for aid from spirits, however they found themselves dodging not just each other's attacks but also their own. It appeared the Spirits understood their reluctance to hurt each other and registered themselves as their own opponents as well.

Meanwhile, there were a few students outside the field watching the two duel each other with skill and ability that they had not expected from the youngest members. Or rather, they might now be known as the fiercest members.

Meanwhile, Zuuka accepted his duel as well, and was now in a different field. However, once the field was fully formed, he smiled with just a hint of sinnisterness.

"What the hell are you smiling about, brat?"

"Just how much my friends will be impressed with me, now that I can finally show off. Aegis, raise power level".

Suddenly, several cubes were flying around Zuuka, made of some sort of glowing energy it seemed.

"What the...so this is that Aegis thing I overheard about? As expected of someone who thinks they are better then us".

"The hell does that mean?"

"I heard all about it. You, and those Wood Elf brats over there. Instead of going along with the initiation, you three acted like you were better then all of us, who experienced this just as well. You rich people, and those born in some isolated setting away from the real world like those twins too, you all act like you are better then us! The initiation is a lesson, and a proof, that everyone must undergo. A lesson that noble or commoner, we all enter our world in the same way. But you higher up folk, you act like you are better and hide behind your goons and toys. Now, you three will need something...stronger".

Zuuka wanted to say he had a chip on his shoulder but, he already heard that there were others here for the first time this year who had gone through the same in the boys dorm. Kids younger then the three of them, and older then them, all made to do the same. Not just nobles and the rich, but commoners and normal people as well.

However, he couldn't just say nothing either.

"School tradition aside, not all of us are the same. And I won't just let you badmouth my friends like that, and speak about them in such a way".

As he said that, Zuuka pulled a spear out of one of the cubes. His spear, the one he is specialized in. The man in front of him had gotten a spare sword from the equipment racks, and so after that Zuuka had Aegis disappear.

"And I don't need Aegis to beat some sense into you".

The bully seemed startled. He though Zuuka was just trying to act tough earlier, but now Zuuka seemed pissed at him. It was a backbone that most people would think Zuuka did not have. But Zuuka was not so simply as people thought.

The moment the duel started, Zuuka rushed in at high speed, and then swung his spear around with sufficient force to parry the sword and he hoped to even knock it away. At the same time, Zuuka pivoted around to help spin his whole body around easier and attacked again with a second slash of his spear.

The bully had managed to hold onto his sword, but he was thrown off balance and the second strike knocked him away before he could regain it. However, he clearly possessed some talent as he was able to roll over and jump up before Zuuka could attack again. But it was only by a second that he had managed to block the third attack Zuuka sent at him. Only, that was not the only attack. Zuuka had channeled mana through the spear and summoned ice around the bully's feet to freeze him in place, and then swung around a forth time. The bully was able to block, but now he could not move.

"Reinforce!"

That was, until he used reinforcement magic to strengthen himself and then broke through while finally attacking Zuuka in response. But Zuuka had already stepped backwards, as ice shot up from where he was standing to form a new ice prison that the bully was heading right into.

"Flame slash!"

And yet, as fire engulfed his sword, he cut through the ice and managed to land on his feet and get his footing. He was breathing a bit heavily, but he was still in the fight, while Zuuka appeared to be in peak condition with no abnormal breathing at all. He was keeping his cool and was focused, but more importantly he did not look drained at all.

It was extremely abnormal if one thought about it, but the battle was so captivating that it was possible no one would find it odd he was able to use so many attacks and magic simultaneously without being drained a little.
