“Unless the expected happens,” Kaze made sure he finished, as he scratched the part of his head the hammer had struck, ‘Nice shot, lucky for me the wound has already healed, Magic of course, a healing spell, really you should have expected that. I guess its time for lesson two,” The Archmage brought his hands together, as if to pray, and as commanded the earth shook violently, causing the younger to stumble, but catch himself before he fell. “I will admit you got to lesson two far faster then the others,”

“Enough chit chat,” the younger charged forward slashing high for the head, and without so much as a second thought Kazaisu brought up his hand. With a flashy light show ice not only stopped the blow, but engulfed the entire blade up to the hilt,

“Look before you leap, don’t go flaunting your abilities before you test your opponents,” With a swing of his left hand the Archmage summoned a single Ventus Vesica towards the boys stomach. The blade of wind cut up the boys stomach, and sent him flying backwards, shattering the ice around his blade. Landing with a thud, he rolled out of it, and landed back on his feet, with his weapon holding hand holding the ground. Looking up through his hair, he gave a deathly glare before charging again.

“Still leaping,” Kazaisu mocked as he leapt over the boy’s stab. Then doing a cartwheel in mid air he landed beside Matt, and gave a hard palm thrust to his face. Shaken, but not actually hurt he slashing sideways, but the man just made a tiny leap backwards causing the blade to swipe right in front of him. Still continuing the attack the younger turned his blade to a backhand position stabbed backwards. With the tip moving closer, Kaze made a rash decision, forming a Darkness Magi shield to his right hand only he placed it on the oncoming blade, and using the blade for support did a one handed front hand spring over the blade. Noticing he would end up in front of his opponent with his back facing, he while finishing the handspring did a landing kick to the boy’s knees causing him to do somewhat of a face dive towards the ground.

Instead of falling straight to his face the boy used the momentum to make a shaky flip landing in a kneeling position. As his caped opponent turned around Matthew leapt up, with his blade pointed towards his opponents chin. Kaze’s silvery eyes saw the sparkle of metal just in time, and in reaction did a smooth backhand spring, causing the katana to miss by just centimeters. The Archmage stopped several feet back his hair flowing lightly with the wind. Sigh he laughed a little and looked towards the obviously angry boy. The grass wavered from side to side as the two just stared at each other, it was already getting dark, the sun would soon set which could add a different aspect to the battle in question.

“Hey you almost got me there, wanna play some more,”

“Stop mocking me…”

“Or what? You use your little trick, and summon another weapon, more powerful then the last. Yeah can’t say I’m that scared, how much they paying you to take me down anyways?”

“None of you business,”

“No need to be snotty about, impudent little runt,”

“Enough, time for me to win,” the boy said his katana glowing brightly, and changing shape.
