《Insignia》"The Phantom" Ch 95. El vs. Nubai
Advertisement
Red walks up to her and helps her up. They walk off the stage.
Announcer: Next up! We have El from the Elune guild, vs Nubai from Maskrah!
--- Chapter 95 ---
El and Nubai walk into the ring.
El: Let's have a good match!
Nubai: No, I don't think so. My arcana is incredibly powerful and all will kneel before it.
El’s cheery face turns into a face of pure anger.
Announcer: Begin!
Nubai lifts his hands, dark energy forming in his hands. Two dark balls slowly form and make their way over to El. El looks confused, but Nubai arches his back backward. All over his body these balls form and move off him. The balls move incredibly slow, but one hits a tree creating a massive explosion. Another hits a wall creating cracks. El shifts her stature, as if she is a whole different person.
El: So that's your arcana? Slow moving explosions? So is its name Slow-splosion?
Nubai: Actually… Yes.
El: I see. Just know my older sister trained me hard. And she is SS rank.
Nubai: S...S rank?
He says in a shaky fearful voice.
El: That's right.
She picks two rocks up off the ground. She raises them and drops them slightly, as if measuring their weight. She leaps back onto a tree and climbs up it a bit. She then turns, still holding on, to face him. Her power allows her to push and pull objects she touched at fast rates. But she recently learned that she can push her own body away from the objects. That's her arcana, Tagger. She leaps toward him, her arcana making her rocket towards him. She turns her body so her legs face him. She lifts her arms out, making both stones push and pull her in different directions avoiding the balls. She spreads her legs and makes an impact. She wraps her legs around his neck. She throws the stones forward, making her body get pushed away, and she flips him by his neck and slams his body into the ground. She gets up while he is still stunned from impact. She pushes her flat hand down, causing him to repel into the earth. His body formed a crater in the ground. She lifts her hand, making his body float upward. She re-angles her hand. His body then flies across the field into a wall, once again making a crater. He falls out of the crater unconscious. She brushes her hands together.

Announcer: T-the winner is El from Elune! That was quick, and Elune seems to be dominating so far! Let's see if this streak continues!
The crowd roars. She walks off the field and Nubai is carried off the field. A man comes into the field and waves his hand, causing the field to fix itself.
Announcer: Ok! Going straight into the third match! Geno from an independent trainer vs. Ava from Elune!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
