Outcast

*Valoris Pov*

Is it just me? or does Rentil seem to be using this assignment to spar with me to get even for something? I mean she is over there shadow fighting getting all pumped. What did I ever do to her?

Anyways, doing some simple stretches I slowly adjust to my new dimensions. Adjusted I start doing some fighting moves, My tail is the limb that's the hardest to get used too.

Finally after an hour or so I turn to her and let her know I'm ready.

We square off against each other before she says.

"Don't hold back, get ready...start!"

Immediately, I turn on draconic might only to have it countered by her own. While Rentil looks me in shock, I send several wind blades straight at her. I then start to conduct lightning, thick arches of it shooting off from me attacking everything around me.

The blades hit Rentil and disappear as if they never happened. She recovers from her earlier shock, smirks, and crawls forward slowly.

Concerned, I roar and send a thick bolt of golden lightning straight at her. Again, it hits her and fizzles away. Angry, I realize my insight into elemental mastery is too weak.

"If that's the case, close combat is my only choice!" I think before I charge straight at her.

She smiles, before swiping a large wing claw at me. I duck underneath barely and slam straight into her c.h.e.s.t as hard as I can...She barely grunts.

Hissing, I start trying to slice her open with my claws only to see that while they make an ugly screeching sound they don't manage to breakthrough. Frustrated, I strike with my mouth trying to bite her when suddenly a massive force hits me so hard I fly back before darkness overtakes me.

...

...

.....

Waking up a few seconds later I try to get up only to realize I'm stuck in a wall. Vision shaking, I pull myself out and stare at Rentil.

"Hahaha that was awesome, you good to go again?"

Nodding, I waste precious seconds trying to come up with a strategy. She's stronger, more experienced, and I can't seem to hurt her. Mmm looks like I can't win this fight. My goal has shifted then If I can't win I'm gonna do everything I can to wound her!

"Um, you fighting or Nah? if not I got stuff to do" Rentil asks.

Hissing, I begin to gather lightning in the air around me. Storing them inside, I condense it into a ball, filling it to as full as I can.

"Roarrrrrrrrrr!"

I scream as I call down lightning down on myself. The ball of lightning I have in my throat is near bursting. I then wrap the wind element around it stabilizing it while also adding even more power to it.

Then I notice a trace of a power I haven't ever felt before and add it as well. It adds a crimson red tinge to the power before I shoot it at Rentil who stood there letting me gather this power.

As soon as I release it, a huge golden bolt of lightning, surrounded by wind blades, and thin streams of crimson flames spiral around it shoot out and head towards Rentil who is no longer smirking.

....BOOOOMMM

It hits her and explodes, sending up smoke, and dust everywhere. Panting, I search the area looking to see what happened to her.

BAM!

Suddenly the darkness overtakes me again.

*Rentil's Pov*

"What the Hellfyre was that! who is this monster?? Ugh, I'm soooo making grandpa give me a raise for this. I mean HE HAS DRACONIC MIGHT ALREADY! I just learned it, and he is acting like its nothing special.

And then, there is the fact that when he charged me, he broke 2 of my ribs... What the Hellfyre did they feed this little monster. When I hit him the first time, I thought he was out for good. I mean any normal wyrm would be out, with broken bones, and internal bleeding.

But nooooo, I get to spar with someone who apparently has the body strength, defense, and recovery speed of a peak wyrm about to evolve when he...just...evolved...into..one.

And to top it all off, he can summon lightning down to overcharge his attacks, and stack his elements. Something they only teach in advanced elemental attack classes. And what was with that crimson fire at the end??? that's not something a storm dragon lineage has?

"What's your verdict? is he worth training?"

Turning around, I see grandpa was watching the whole thing in the corner. He has shifted into a form similar to a lizard man to hide.

Glaring at him, I look at the unconscious little devil once more before saying.

"Okay, so you were right. This kid is some kind of monster. Seriously, how did he train to get his body so strong??" I ask.

"He trained in two different body refining techniques at the same time. One of them you should be familiar with...its the Demons Enduring Determination forms I taught you"

"....I hate both of you. Seriously, I expect you to pay me more grandpa. Look at me! I'm covered in wounds from that last attack! who taught him those things? I just learned them"

Frowning, Grandpa looks at Valoris before saying.

"Honestly, I don't know. According to his story, the only formal education he has gotten was from the tribe he belongs too. A small newly formed tribe not even 20 years old. Perhaps it's time I looked into them as well. Hmm, also I want you to go get Drakken. I need him to go scout a clan for me"

"Sure grandpa, but what do you need with a servant?" I ask surprised that grandpa would want to speak with a random servant of the clan.

Drakken is a Light Bending Horned Owl, combined with owl's natural ability to fly silently. Light Bending Horned Owls can also cast illusions to blend in with their surroundings.

"I need him to go investigate a clan by the name of The Bloody Fang"
