《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 46 - 2 Minuet Fight

Clark Teta's Point Of View
I looked at all of the fights to see who would pose me the greatest threat, I have to say I would have lost to Verod Dragonsbane, he is a strong Dragon Slayer, however I can't understand Origami, his powers fool even my eyes, they don.t look like they should work and yet somehow using something I cant detect or maybe that I am just missing, they work. H managed to beat Eron by messing around and running circles around her with blinding speed. I am sufficiently impressed.
"...Origami and Clark Teta. Please stand up and enter the ring" The referee said, we both entered the ring and a count down in big white glowing letters started. 3...2....1...go, and with that we both charged at each other, I went to hit him and I succeeded, in my hand going through his face and him exploding. did I miss something, I feel something hit me on the back and slowly enter me, looking at it, Origami threw a book at me. I felt no pain however knew if a few more of those hit me I would die. it was not something to mess with, it took a huge percentage off of my health.
"Nice work for a non dragon slayer" I said while transforming into my Divine Focused Dragon Dorm. I then charged at him and started slashing away, he was just a paper clone, the real one is... nowhere? I can only see Paper Clones with Paper Swords. where is he? I use a fire wave and burn all paper near by, wait, I then burn everything above me and see Origami jump off of me, how little does he weigh that I did not even notice him? let me guess, a piece of paper?

"Dragon Meteor" I said wile jumping into the air and crashing down on where he was, this created a huge wave of dust around me, I saw Origami attack me with a paper sword, he slashed down attempting to cut me in half however I block with my claws, I then use my other paw to claw him across his chest, he exploded into paper, then 3 more of Origami came at me out of all the clones I cant see the original, he is not above me this time, where is he?
*crack*
"Ring Out" the referee said, the arena beneath me was gone? what was I just standing on paper? I look around and as the dust settles the entire ring is gone. and Origami is on a Paper Plane flying around above me, he surrounded himself with paper to make him look like a clone to my senses. that was... a cleaver move, I see why he took down an academy. I am not sure why such a powerful fighter would take down an academy however I think he has his reasons.
"Origami, that was a good fight, you acknowledged your weakness and used the rules of the tournament to beat me. you are truly a strong fighter. to bad you use your power for the wrong cause because I know the Dust Academy could use someone like you" I said and he smiled as he landed his Paper Plane next to me.
"Fear not, I will be heading to the Dust Academy after this tournament and we can fight again there, however my fight is just, I do not do this out of malice. it is for the fate of the entire world." Origami said to me with a serious face. "Maybe you should focus less on me and more on the academies preventing the end of the Blue Mist Calamity such as even your own" Origami whispered into my ear before walking past me to he waiting area. wait what? the Dust Academy wouldn't. we are an academy created to bring peace... why would we? I may just look into this claim of yours, If I come back with nothing I will bring you to justice, if your claim holds some truth I will... hmm.. what would I do?

Kate's Point Of View
impossible, he beat Clark Teta? and in the time it took me to make Eron relax? not even Kieran could do that. Origami just what are you? I will have to fight you in the finals, I will burn away that Paper Mask and find out. I wont let you win and get your freedom after taking down an academy and just showing up at another one like you are taunting them.
"Eron, Don't worry, I will burn him into the ground and reveal that face his mask hides so well for all to see." I said with a smile and Eron smiled back.
"yea, I know you can do it, Master would say the same if he was here" Eron said to me and I knew she was right, Now I will go up there and remove that smug smile from his face. see if he is still so smug when he is behind bars.
"Final Round, Kate White VS Origami" the referee said, I then stepped up and saw Origami looking at me with a smile, yet at the same time... what is that... he looks pained? I wonder why? maybe he knows he will be arrested after I burn him into the ground? oh well. I power up and get ready for the referee to count down while looking at Origami. everything inside of me is telling me not to fight him, is he really that strong or is there something else to it?
------------------------------

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

Mhaieiyu - Arc 1: The Syndicate
Time stood still when all the cogs of society meshed well enough. There were those who tolerated less, but still, life and work were monotonous for the most part in the gruelling megapolis of the Hub. Those who stood opposed would be met with an unpleasant visit from the no-nonsense authorities of the country's overruling, tyrannical Syndicate. And so, where there was law, there was simplicity. But every decade, this grey atmosphere would crash as hell itself came to bang on their door. Join the awkward Tokken, a strangely unknowing teenager who's finally getting the reality check he needs, as well as the rowdy and reckless Emris, the alcoholic military mess that sees no grey lines between life and death, as they try to abide by the hailstorm that looms over them.
