Magic Trick Chapter 22

THE PEOPLE CLAPPED LOUDLY AFTER THE THIRD SONG OF MISS CONFLAGRATION AND SALVATORE MANTOVANI.
While everyone is having fun, the door opened and two ladies who looked gothic based on their fashion sense, which is basically everything black. They walked towards Miss Conflagration and Salvatore.
"Oh, we have new guests. Welcome, ladies. You're just in time for our next song. What are we doing next, baby?" Miss Conflagration asked Salvatore, but right before Salvatore responds, Fei stepped into the conversation and greeted them.
"Welcome to the Xing mansion, Sorcha and Sinead."
The one on the right was Sorcha and on the left was Sinead. They looked alike, but there are differences in their style. I guess, they're fraternal twins.
"What's all this, Fei? Since when did you become a fan of men in dresses?" Sorcha sarcastically asked.
"It's drag, bitch," Miss Conflagration defended right away. "And I think this bitch wants to be read. Fine, let's get it on." Miss Conflagration went down the platform and faced the ladies, but right before Miss Conflagration started to read her to filth, Sorcha brought out a broken glass and attacked her. Fortunately, Salvatore's arm blocked it and it hit his arm instead. It was bleeding, but Salvatore did not even look like he's hurt.
"Sorcha, stop it or I'll have to send you out of the room," Fei warned. He then healed Salvatore's wound.
"Fei Xing, why so serious? We, [Sterlings], just wanna have fun," Sinead took out a long needle and licked it.
Taki stood up. "Sterlings, huh? Do you wanna say something to us, Irish?"
"Yes, Takipsilim Marasigan, also known as the Philippines' Amalgam. What's wrong with what my sister said?" Sorcha stated, as she moved her eyes across the room. "Let's see who are the other Sterlings here… Hmmm… Janardan and Sanjivani Anthony of Mumbai, Sterlings. Salvatore Mantovani of Milan, Sterling. Reginaldo and Raimundo Oliveira of Rio de Janeiro, Sterlings. And…"
"Then we have here our dear Takipsilim Marasigan of the Philippines, Amalgam. Manaia Campbell from New Zealand, Amalgam. Kaltrina and Flutura Hysenbelliu of Albania, Amalgams. And—"
"Jasmine Iris Anemone Midoriyama-Xing, Amalgam," Jia proudly spoke, as if the shy girl was totally replaced with a fierce woman.
"Foxglove Erigeron Iberis Midoriyama-Xing, Amalgam," Fei said in a serious tone. "And what it is that you want to point out, Sorcha and Sinead Kavanagh, Sterlings of Dublin?"
Sinead guffawed. "This is fun. It only took two words to ignite you all."

Sorcha looked at me and Miss Conflagration. "We have mortals here with us, dear sister. That one," Sorcha pointed at me. "and the man in a dress."
"It's D-R-A-G, you bitch!" Miss Conflagration shouted. "You fun-sucking slut!"
"Look who's talking. You're no fun at all as you're wasting our time with your jokes and tunes," Sorcha said, then she faced the rest of the people. "How about a real fun instead? Let's have a friendly match outside."
"Sterlings versus Amalgams," Sinead added. "Unless you're all chickenshit to do it."
"Stop pushing our buttons, Sinead. We're not afraid of you," Manaia said.
"Wait," I said. "There are only six Amalgams here. You, Sterlings, are seven."
Sorcha clapped her hands slowly, as if she's mocking me. "You know our vocabulary, mortal. Impressive."
"He's Trick Sylvanie and I'm Miss Conflagration, bitch, and don't you dare forget that," Miss Conflagration uttered.
"Blah, blah, blah. All talk, no—"
"Oblivion's ready," said Haru who cut off Sinead and stepped out right away of the room.
"Wonderful, Haru Xing-Hoshino, Amalgam," Sinead said and walked towards the door. Sorcha followed her.
Janardan stood up and said, "This is just a friendly match, okay? I mean… Sorcha and Sinead, they wouldn't be called 'Double Trouble' for nothing. I'm sure you know that very well."
Jia just shook her head and gave a faint smile. "Let's just have fun."
While we were walking, I felt some sort of terrifying feeling inside me. I guess that reflected in my face, so Fei held my hand. After that, somehow I calmed down.
[It's just how these Irish ladies are. They feel like they're the superior witches.] Fei talked in my mind.
[Will you be okay?] I asked.
[Definitely. You're here. Why would I not be okay? I feel more invigorated 'cause you're beside me.] Fei said.
And I blushed again, I could tell.
We now reached the Xing mansion grounds in oblivion mode. Again, everything was black and white. It was Miss Conflagration's first time here and she was in awe.
"Okay, mortals. Since you're of limited service, how about you pair us up? Who's fighting who?" Sorcha asked.
"Do it, Trick," Miss Conflagration commanded.
I actually have a set on my mind, so I spoke.
"Okay, the Albanian sisters versus the Brazilian brothers. Then, Manaia versus Janardan. Sanjivani versus Jia…" Then I looked at Miss Conflagration. "Haru versus Salvatore."

Miss Conflagration winked at me like I knew what's on her mind. Well, I'm sure she's expecting this battle.
"And lastly, the Irish versus Fei and Taki," I stated.
Sorcha cackled. "Interesting choice, mortals. All set?"
"Go!" Sinead signaled.
All of them found their own spaces. The Albanian sisters and the Brazilian brothers went east. Taki, Janardan, Sanjivani, and Jia went west. Haru and Salvatore are in the southwest part. Those remained in front of the mansion are me, Miss Conflagration, Taki, Fei, and the Irish.
I pulled Miss Conflagration near the mansion door as this will be a very dangerous match, I could tell.
I watched the east side and I saw the Brazilian brothers attacking the Albanian sisters. Reginaldo and Raimundo's powers are lightning and thunder. Kaltrina and Flutura's powers are animal metamorphosis. Both Kaltrina and Flutura turned into turtles and hid inside their shells. Reginaldo and Raimundo then combined their powers and made a thunderstorm in the sky, attacking the Albanian sisters. The shells remained unharmed, so did they another round of lightning assaults, throwing zaps of lightning to the sisters. Still, the Albanian sisters hid in their shells. Furious, the Brazilian brothers, formed a massive electric ball and hurled it towards Kaltrina and Flutura… and nothing. After a while, the sisters transformed to their original bodies and… they're radiating with lightning. They absorbed the powers of the Brazilian brothers! Now, Albania is attacking Brazil! Wow!
On the west side, Jia and Manaia were not moving. Sanjivani and Janardan sat on the soil, Indian-style, and chanting as if they're doing yoga. It seemed that the Indian siblings controlled the movements of Jia and Manaia. Their shadows moved and held Jia and Manaia's shadows captive. Hence, the lack of movement. The Indian shadows were fighting Jia and Manaia's unmoving shadows in a hand-to-hand combat, as if their shadows were like punching bags, but the pain is reflected to Jia and Manaia.
I took a look in the southwest where Miss Conflagrations eyes are locked. Haru brought out a book and took out the letters and enlarged them to hurl Salvatore. I couldn't tell which are those, but I think I saw Chinese, Japanese, K/orean, Thai, and of course, Latin letters flying everywhere, attacking Salvatore. However, Salvatore's body became as elastic as trampoline, as the letters just sprung away from it, and it seemed that he wasn't affected at all.
Then…
And in front of us… Taki and Fei preparing to fight Sinead and Sorcha.
"Are you ready, sis?" Sorcha asked.
"I never thought you'd ask," Sinead commented.
Sinead sketched a lion on air with her fingers, and the lion became real! The lion ran towards Fei and Taki, but Fei, gladly, had his force field shield ready, which both Miss Conflagration and I also had. He also protected Taki with that.
Taki, on the other hand, brought out a small, foldable knife and raised it. Then, butterflies fluttered from everywhere and formed a colorful whip, which is similar to a stingray's tail, from the edge of his knife. He then whipped the lion and it roared loudly, in pain, then disappeared.
Sorcha took out again a piece of broken glass and threw it on air. She then magnified it and threw it at Fei, but Fei, using his sword, he shattered it into tiny bits… which was a mistake. Sorcha controlled the pieces of broken glass and attacked Fei. He was wounded!
"Fei!" I screamed.
Good thing he can heal himself, so the wounds were cured in an instant. However, Sorcha had a devilish smile. He sort of pulled something, and… there were tiny bits of glass left from the wounds. Fei yelped in pain as he got wounded again.
Taki released the butterflies from the whip and commanded them to pollinate the entire area. The powder that the butterflies emitted created a hazy mist, which he used to hide himself in scourging Sorcha with the butterflies returning to the small knife to become a whip. He was successful as Sorcha's face was bleeding.
He returned beside Fei. "How are you doing?"
"I need a little bit more time to heal. The glass made deep wounds in my body," Fei murmured. If only I can help him…
"Okay, I'll take care of it for now," Taki said as he ran to attack Sorcha again.
"Fei!" I screamed and ran to Fei to assist him in any way that I can. He was suffering and I was just there, standing, and doing nothing. That's unfair!
Yet… While I was running to him, here came Sinead drawing a train on air, and it was approaching me!
"Trick!" Fei howled, still weak from the previous attack. He could not move!
Oh, gosh! Someone please save me!

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
