Zack vs Kan

Note: We are fighting on some land on ninamis property. We both know what we're doing, so don't worry guys. That said, it would take forever to type it all down so if you want to know some stuff ask either myself or ninamihurai.

Also i got permission to control her character this post.

A slight rippling began to fill the air in a sphere 6 feet in diameter. The rippling became inky, then suddenly it burst apart to reveal two people in over coats. "And now, my student, here we are." The taller of the two said.
"Whats all this?" The other asked.
"Your test. I want you to fight me with everything you got. If you beat me, you pass the test. If you don't, you repeat the lessons I already taught you."
"I have to beat you?"
"Yes. Don't worry, I won't go all out and I won't use my spirit on you either. Hide anywhere in this forest. We begin in eight minutes."

With that, Zack strode off, searching out these woods for a good spot to wait. At last, he found a rock at the bottom of hill, then sat down. Truthfully, he wasn't unduly worried about his student Kan. He would do well, and if he fought well enough Zack would pass him anyways. Of course, the point was to make him try to win so that he would put forth his best effort.

Zack had met the kid trying to fend off some guys from a girl behind him. Zack always took a dim view on beating up on smaller, weaker people so he had shown the bullies a rather harsh lesson that they would never forget. Then he had found that the boy had awakened, the awesome process of a persons aura opening up, and had taken him as his student. The girl, who was apparently his step sister, was given a home with a constant guard. This made both happy, especially since the guard was passive and stayed out of sight while she was out and about.

Zack came back to the here and now, looking at his stop watch. 3 minutes left. Best get prepared. He hold out his hand, then said in a commanding voice, "Traverse that which cannot be traversed, Senventre." Instantly several waves of energy looped around his arm, extending a foot and a half out from his hand. The energy spiraled together, creating a silver sword with a diamond set into the guard. He closed his hand around the hilt, looking at his watch again. 2 minutes.

 

Zacks spirit can speak with him. To avoid confusion, his spirit talk in Italics and Zack talks in underlines. This only counts when he is just speaking to his spirit internally. Out loud exchanges are still in quotes.



Zack sighed. 0 minutes. "At last." He got up, then began hiking around. He wouldn't know where his student was until he felt like attack him. Zack had always been bad at aura detection, but he could always tell when someone was going to attack him, thus being able to react at all times. Of course, if he fought at his strongest his student would get discouraged.

Well, so were are we today? Senventre asked.

Some place in WI. I was brought here when I was a student. You remember right?

After a few seconds, Ah yes. Lodi is it? My, but it has been so long since were last here. So we fight your student? Senventre asked in a quizical voice.

Correction. I am fighting my student. You are watching.

My, but are we ever the wise one today.

Gotta be while in teacher mode my friend. Zack replied, smiling.

He continued hiking up the hill, searching for his student. Eventually, Kan would make himself known. It was only a matter of waiting.

 

Zack could felt the sudden threat from Kan instantly. "Oh come on. You can do a hell of a lot better." Zack said, phasing back in time while walking out of the way. Since the branch wasn't on him at the time he was in, it went through him while. He began running after the fleeing Kan. "Dude, I know you got better than that. Try something interesting, don't attempt dropping a log on my head. You wouldn't believe how many times some has tried that on me. So last year." He caught up to the younger kid, grabbing him by the back of the shirt, then throwing him backwards. He brought his blade around, wondering if he would have to call the fight here.

 

"Now thats more like. Except for just one little detail." Zack said smiling. He time phased again, putting himself back just before he was tied up and stepping out of the way. Then normal time resumed. "I'm not that easy to catch." Once again, he phased through the logs, and continued walking forward.

You're being to hard on him.

Sorry. Zack replied to his spirit.

He began running, suddenly time phasing ahead right in Kans face. "Hey student." Zack said, kicking Kan into the air. He started to bring his blade up and around again, cursing himself at how slow he had to be. He needs some better relflexes. One combo and he'd be done. You shouldn't let him pass. Senventre said.

Against me, even a normal aura user wouldn't have a chance. I'm S class, and he's a E. I'm not expecting much yet, and you can't teach reflexes. Those come from experience.

Experience he doesn't have yet. In a normal combat situation he'd be dead.

Not a chance. You just keep watching. He hasn't done everything yet.

 

Zack saw the blade coming, and found that he wouldn't be able to change the angle of attack on his sword in time. He phased back, with all the confidence that the attack would go through him. He was really surprised to find that Kan had hesitated in his attack. Did he not want to hit me? No, he just wanted to wait. Crap! he tried to get his sword up, but only partially blocked the attack. Pain toar up his leg, and Zack jumped away. "Well well. At last, you managed to hit me. Impressive." He said from a distance.

 

Zack was certainly not expecting this of all attacks. He looked down, trying to get his balance back, and saw a large rock coming from beneath. It was already to late to dodge, so he jumped up the second the rock hit, giving him momentum that he used to ride the rock into the air. He then flipped off of it, landing with his weapon in at guard. "Clever." Zack said. "Really clever. I think we've reached the end of this. Now we see just how strong you are." Zack began to glow as he charged up his aura, letting his power take him in space as well as time. "Good luck." He said, then stepped forward. He vanished, as he moved ahead of time then stopped his own passage through it. He walked behind Kan, then pulled Kans leg out from under him. With that, time resumed, and Kan pitched forward.

 

Zackarias.

I see it. Zack replied grimly. His student had finally gone all out. Very well, then it was time for this to come to an end.

He backed away from the needles, judging their movements. He concluded that there was no pattern to their movements, which was no surprise. He also concluded that a head on approach would be a really bad idea, unless he actually wanted to be minced.

To tell you the truth, this attack reminded him of his bout with Kane, something he had also won though it was close thing. Kane's pride and joy was being able to launch devasting waves of cutting wind from his sword, that sliced everything they hit into dust. He had managed to avoid one of those narrowly a part of his shirt had been blown away. That was nasty.

Coming back to the here and now once again, Zack noticed something about the frayed souls attack. It seemed as if they were moving on their own, and instead of using this move for defense, Kan was coming at him with intent to kill, with no regard to what Zack seemed to be doing. No regard to that, or the fact that he was wide open for a spell. Zack smiled, bringing his blade to at ready. He wanted for just one more second, then leapt into action.

Quickly he drew a sign in the air, calling, "Stop." Time came to a halt, though this wouldn't last long.
He ran into a open area in Kans attack, then raised his blade. "Resume, Blast." He called. Time came back into focus just as a aura wave fired out of his sword. The simple attack was able to through all the threads back, while simultaneously scrambling their connection. Zack put his blade to Kans neck before he could bring his threads under control. "Dead, and you pass."

Kan looked up at him with surprise. "The idea was for you to fight your hardest against impossible odds. When you have something important on the line, it is always best to fight at your best and try to over come even the direst of circumstances. Did I expect you to actually win? No. I'm one of the strongest agents in the AMS, and that was one of the reasons why I'm teaching you. How-ever." And here Zack smiled. "From the way you fought, you have proved that one day you to will join the ranks of A or even S class agents. I look forward to your graduation."

Zack let his sword vanish back into his aura. "And with that, I'm starving. Lets head back and track down a meal." He opened a portal, and said as he walked through, "Take your time." The portal remained open.
