《Nano Mage》Chapter 9 Roaming Thunder’s legendary victory
Advertisement
Tina suddenly grasped my hand. “To think I would see one of the legendary spells in my life time. Thank you Sylphire!” Why was she thanking me? Tina grip swiftly loosened, the wolf’s gaze began to burrow through Tina’s body, was Roaming Thunder angry about something?
Those tears and screams now vanished, replaced with cheers and claps. After prying its eyes off of Tina, the wolf began to dash towards Shadow Void. It was like watching a lion catch its prey. It was gone in a flash, now pressing its sharp claws into Shadow Void.
I could see Shadow Void’s discomfort. Not only was a huge weight pressing down on his stomach, but the being also sent thousand of volts there using its claws. Every swing caused Shadow Void’s arms to violently spasm.
“Oh Queen of the Void, give away your breath. From the shadows you rise once more. Eternal maiden!” I could barely make out Shadow Void’s words. If I had so much trouble to hear it, then I doubt it was possible for anyone to hear.
A figure of a woman began to form in front of Shadow Void. Wild long flowing hair constructed of shadow, piercing red eyes, which made my heart stop briefly, and a smooth waist.
That figure floated towards Roaming Thunder. It was just like something out of those bad vampire moves. It even had fangs extending out from its jaw. These fangs clasped the area of her neck where the shadow bat from earlier had bitten. A Loud scream, which made me think of a woman being kidnapped by a group of men, had been released from the small body of Roaming Thunder. (Is that what Subject 32 sounded like when she had been taken?) Not good, I just thought of something I would rather forget. The irony was I would give anything to remember my original name, or even the faces of my parents. Did I have siblings? It was so weird having only fragments of memories.

The lightning wolf began to blink in and out off existence. Roaming Thunder seemed to be losing focus from the pain. Bending down, she picks up a piece of glass, which had been formed when the lightning wolf had dashed forwards earlier. After holding it for only a minute, Roaming Thunder let go. The shard began to float in mid air.
The small piece of crystallized sand was now directly between the two. A bolt of electricity was fired from Roaming Thunder’s finger tip. That bolt split in five as it collided with the floating shard, creating a star pattern. The shard shattered, and each piece zoomed forwards, arriving at Shadow Void’s left eye.
Blood splattered every where. Unable to bear the pain, Shadow Void pulls out his eye. I throw up on Tina’s lap, in turn she does the same to mine. Aqua Mirror approaches us, and then offers to clean our clothing with his magic. We both agree. “How can anyone do that?” “I. Belch.” Tina throws up again next to her stump. “I do not know.”
“How dare you!” Shadow Void’s tone causing many people to suddenly shake. Roaming Thunder is about to respond, but she quickly looks away. This only provokes him more. I am the first to notice it. She did not look away because she wanted to. Like Tina and I, she was currently throwing up. The smell started to roam the whole stadium. This caused the rest of the people to throw up as well. The only ones not throwing up were Tina and I. Our stomachs could not do so anymore.
I say everyone, but there is one exception. Shadow Void is to busy with pain to react to the smell. He is now in a blind rage. Excuse the pun. Fist start to fly at Roaming Thunder. Both miss her, and then he slips on her puke, and falls unconscious.

“This years number 1 from the first block, Roaming Thunder!” Roaming Thunder takes a bow. “That concludes the tournament. Everyone but the top three please immediately leave the premises. You are welcome to try again next year.” Tina glanced in my direction, and then silently walked away.
After coming to, the teachers used healing magic to reattach, and then fix Shadow Void’s eye. Shadow Void did not have words to express what he was feeling at the moment. It just so happened that upon leaving, one of the failing members mentioned the event of the finals. Which created a certain nickname for Roaming Thunder.

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
