Afternoon Dueling Training

As you stood across Dr. Molotov he shot multiple fireballs at you as you attempted to block them using magical wards before he shifted gears and began shooting blasts of water at you followed up by bolts of lightning. You weaved trying avoid getting hit with the lightning as you had gotten soaked by the water before.

Drawing your rifle you created a wall of earth before taking cover and returning fire shooting blast of void laced rounds at Dr. Molotov in returned he created his own ward which only slowed the bullets before they fell to the ground having lost their velocity.

You sighed loading more rounds and preparing your next set of spells when Dr. Molotov summoned an ice golem. As the giant ice golem took form it soon formed a giant axe out of pure ice before forming a giant boulder of ice and threw it in your direction.

Moving quickly you could see that your coach wasn’t playing around today and quickly formed a new stone wall loading more rounds as quickly as you could before moving cover to cover as more boulders of ice came hurling your way.

“Nathan it looks like your training is beginning to pay off now fight like soviet soldier of old fight da?” Dr. Molotov said as he took out a lighter and cigar as his ice golem continued to keep you on your feet.

Sighing you placed two fingers before a small swarm of crows flew into the area and began to viciously peck and claw at the ice golem’s eyes distracting it as you shouldered your lever action and took aim.

A loud bang rang out through the training ground as one of your enchanted rounds exploded into the ice golem as it melted his arm off in a fiery inferno. Swatting at the crows he soon recovered and seemed angry at the loss of his arm before slowly reforming his arm completely in a matter of seconds.

Surprised you moved firing off more inferno rounds as you called them while moving only for the damage to quickly be healed by the ice golem. Sighing you thumbed through your spell cards before finding the one you were looking for. You whistled once more for your crow before tossing up a bag to your crow who instantly caught it with his claws before flying over the ice golem spilling the bag’s tiny contents over the stone training field.

The ice golem looked down in confusion before seeing the dark seeds begin to dig into the ground at a rapid pace before disappearing completely from view however before the the ice golem could advance any further the ground began to shake rapidly before a giant black as night sickly tree emerged from the ground. It’s roots quickly began wrap around the ice golem using its strong gnarly tree roots to wrap around the ice golem as it tried to entangle its target.

In response Dr. Molotov only puffed on his cigar before drawing his wand and shoot a single blade of wind at a tree root slacking its grip on the ice golem long enough for it to escape its grasp. Soon Dr. Molotov created two more ice golems before having them to charge forward as the dead tree tried to hold off three ice golems.

Drawing another spell card you burned it before the tree soon began to become shrouded in grey dense fog. Drawing another card you burned it as well before a shadow began to form within the fog. Dr. Molotov only puffed his cigar once more before burning his own spell card summoning a seraphim a blond haired blind folded woman with a sword and white wings soon emerged attempting to blow away the fog only for three dark as night arrows to hit its right wing causing it to fall to the ground.

Thumbing through your cards you soon burned another card before more shadows began to move within the fog as Dr. Molotov burned his own spell card. Summoning a giant igloo with an ice golem exiting the igloo. Sighing you realized he had created a summon anchor allowing him to now summon more ice golems simply by using the igloo.

Sighing you closed your eyes focusing within yourself searching for it. As the battle raged with ice golems trying to breach past the fog only to be slowed by flaming arrows, crows and gnarly tree roots. Drawing your wand you took a deep breath as you began to draw the summoning circle as the ice golem continued to amass their numbers slowly pressing against your line. As you completed the circle a green flash appeared before you shielded your eyes.

You opened your eyes once more as three humanoid figures only nodded to you before walking forward into the fog as Dr. Molotov spoke. “Don’t worry Nathan there’s always next time da?” He said he took another puff of his cigar. You only smiled before replying concealed by the fog.

“We’ll see about that Dr. Molotov!” You yelled in reply as the ice golems charged into the fog unimpeded. Dr. Molotov smirked as he saw this only flinch when heard the a mysterious wooosh before seeing bright orange lights dance throughout the fog. As more ice golems charged into the fog the orange lights in the fog only seemed to intensify as the drew closer and closer to the middle of the training ground.

Soon however you smiled as three ghostly men in world war one gas masks emerged from the fog with life preserver shaped flamethrowers on their backs. As the ice golems continued to charge out of the igloos you smiled as they were quickly melted as they charged the undead soldiers. Dr. Molotov soon began to cast a light bolt before you beat him to the punch.

You shouldered your lever action casting a fireball causing him to lose concentration as he watched as his igloo was slowly melted down by the undead world war one troopers. Before he could react you then shot one last void laced bullet disarming him as his wand shot out his hand before yelling from your side of the training ground.

“Its over Dr. Molotov I won fair and square!” You yelled from your concealed position in the fog. In response Dr. Molotov only puffed on his cigar before smiling and replying. “Da you are right Nathan the victory is yours.” He said as your summons began to disappear their purposes fulfilled and their time done. Soon all that remained was the stone training grounds and your smiling dueling coach. Sighing you put away your level action walking over and shaking your coach’s hand as was customary after duels before walking over to Harmony and little Anthony who had sat a distance away watching.

As you walked over to the seats you could Harmony smiling as little Anthony held out his arms to you his little hands grasping as he whined in Harmony’s grasp. “Looks like Anthony loves watching me duel.” You said as you took your son into your arms holding him. Harmony only smiled before taking out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before holding it out for you to take a bite as you held Anthony.

“Is this apricot jelly?” You asked after swallowing the first bite. “Yeah I found some at the store and thought you might like it so what do you think?” Harmony said as she held out the sandwich for you to eat. You only smiled taking another bite chewing it as you held your son as he watched the other students flying around on broomsticks high in the skies.

As you sat down you wiped off some sweat from your forehead as Harmony fed you some lunch while you held your son. His eyes watching in amazement as the students flew around high in the sky. Smiling you whistled before your crow perched himself onto your shoulder much to Anthony’s astonishment as he stared at the crow.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea Nathan?” Harmony asked worriedly as she saw your crow slowly inspect your son. “He’s fine besides Anthony will need to get used to animal partners like Nook here.” You said as Anthony reached out a small hand to the crow. Nook in response began to try and preen Anthony’s hair with his beak much to Anthony’s enjoyment as he began to laugh. “See nothing to worry about hun just our baby boy bonding with his dad’s partner in crime.” You said nonchalantly as Nook flew away.

Harmony only shook her head as she stood up putting on her backpack before taking little Anthony from your arms. “Come on this one is due for a nap otherwise we won’t be sleeping tonight. You only nodded following your wife as the two of you headed to your dorm.
