No this isn't based on BNHA lol
They just happened to be similar, I didn't even notice until my friend pointed it out
~ - Chapter Twenty Three - ~
A few days have passed, and the weekend is over, and you should know what that means...
The championship
Each student flooded the gym, expecting Jackson or something to come in and start the event, but someone else unexpected but at the same time expected came up
"I guess you've all been waiting and training a bit for this, hm?"
Loads of students cheered and clapped their hands for their handsome principle
Mr. Lee was wearing his hair half slicked back and half lose but still looking prepped. And of course a black suit on his perfect figure, and the signature slit in his eyebrow.
No one really knows where he got it or if it's natural but it looks cool so no one questions it
"If you would please follow Jackson and Chaeyoung out the doors and through the academy grounds, you all will be lead to an arena where the battles will commence." The red headed principle said with a smile, making some girl's hearts ache
All eyes turned to the large doors that lead to the outside world, and everyone watched as the two pushed them open
"Okay! Follow us, students!" Chaeyoung shouted extremely loud
Her magic is volume
"Holy fu-" Chanyeol held his hands over his large ears
"Jesus Christ, I'm sure people in the other building could hear her..." Minseok commented
Everyone followed them all the way to the arena, which was quite a while away
Each student was inside the arena, with all of their friends talking about if they'd get partnered or not
"Heeeellllllooo everybody" a voice spoke from one of the speakers
"I am Eric Nam, and I will be your speaker, assisted by..." his voice trailed off
"Amber"
"And Jae"
"Us three will be your lovely commentators for the matches! Please listen to us for it is our job to stop you guys if things get too out of hand."
"Okay, this is pretty cool, I'm... so... exCITED!" Baekhyun was practically jumping with excitement
"I will begin naming teams, if your name is called, please retreat to the back rooms with your room number." Eric spoke happily, you can tell he was smiling although you can't see him
"Room number one will have..."
"I hope we're together, atleast with one of you" Jongdae prayed
"Hyoyeon"
Upon hearing her name, the girl waved her friends goodbye and slipped off to room one
"Sehun"
"NOoOoOo!" Luhan cried out
The boy said sorry quietly and sighed, retreating off to the back room
"Jong- I mean Kai"
The brunette nodded to himself and walked off quietly
"Room two."
"This is gonna take forever" Kyungsoo sat down with a heavy sigh, there were no chairs but he still wanted to be seated
Lots of names were called, none of which happened to belong to our main boys
"Does this mean we'll be together?" Jongdae crossed his fingers in expectation
"That would be like the stars are aligned" Chanyeol replied, slinging his arm over his friend's shoulder
"Baekhyun"
The eyes of his friends turned to him, some with fear and some with hope
"Please please..." he quietly wished to be with his friends before walking off to Room 12
"Sunny"
The blonde happily skipped to her room, railing behind Baekhyun
"I have a bad feeling.." Minseok said quietly
"Jongdae"
"Oh come on!" Chanyeol groaned
Jongdae walked off, earning some "nooo"s and some "ugh why"s
"Room thirteen."
There weren't many students left, Atleast two of them will be together, right?
"Kyungsoo"
The boy gulped and slowly made his way to his designated room
"Luhan"
"OH THANK GOD" Luhan fell to his knees with happiness
But he quickly got up and ran to hug Kyungsoo and leave together
"Minseok"
"Are you serious???" Chanyeol was done
But Minseok was more than happy
He was glad he didn't have to team up with some thumb
"Room fourteen."
Chanyeol put his face in his hands, he couldn't believe it
-
Chanyeol was with people he's never met before
Poor dude
I felt some pity for him, he and I developed something of a friendship while sneaking into Jongin's room
Speaking of Jongin
He's my partner for this championship
I wonder if he has a grudge against me
"Okay, listen up boys." The girl who I'm assuming Hyoyeon is, commands us to pay attention to her
We abide quickly, I really want to win
"I'll be team leader. We need to make a plan." She grabbed a marker and walked up to the white board
Each room was provided with these
"First, what are your skills?"
"My Magic is absorb, my skill is tank. And my weapon is a hammer, I absorb hits that people land on me and I reverse it back onto them by absorbing it." I state simply, my magic is kind of stupid but I work with it
"Okay, that'll be helpful. Kai?"
"Teleportation, but you need to be touching me for me to teleport you somewhere." He said while playing with some loose thread on his shirt
"My magic is cancel, I can mute other's magic. But if our opponent doesn't have any magic for me to cancel in the first place, then we'll be in some hot water" Hyoyeon says before turning around and drawing something on the board
"Okay, Kai can you land any actual attacks?"
"Um... I can try"
-
I'm with Jongdae
I'm with Jongdae
Life is perfect
I'm content
Hallelujah
"I'll be team leader~" Sunny said, jumping up quickly and taking the marker in hand
"We'll have a simple formation, me in front with Baekhyun, and Jongdae will assassinate."
"Assassinate?" I ask, I never thought of him to be the assassin type of guy, considering his skill
"I don't have magic, but I'm a good archer. So I'd consider myself a Marksman." Sunny pulled a bow out of her bag, it was really cool looking
It was silver and it had blue arrows
"And Baekhyun, you're more of... a mage and marksman, I would say."
"Elaborate please" Jongdae said for me
"I play too many games for this..." sunny shook her head with a smile
"A mage is someone who has no physical attacks and relies on their magic. A marksman is someone who is skilled at long distance attacks, such as throwing weapons like spears, or in my case, arrows." The blonde smiled brightly, she seemed happy to explain
I clap my hands together "Oh okay, I understand"
"Okayyyy, make sure to follow my lead and always listen to what I say, ok?" The blonde looks at me and smiles with her eyes
Taeyeon's friends are really sweet
Except for Hyoyeon
-
"We got lucky, didn't we" Luhan laughed, sitting on one of the tables, swinging his feet
"Definitely, who's gonna be team leader?" Minseok asks, looking around as everyone else went silent ".. I guess that means me" he replied to himself
"I'll be a support, I can't really do much." Luhan said, jumping up and grabbing the marker and writing on the board what everyone's going to do
"Ummm.. I'll be... poke." Kyungsoo said quietly
"What??! With your type of magic? Poke?? Absolutely not! You're a fighter for sure." Luhan insisted
"Seems like you're more of a leader than me.." Minseok scratched his head, watching
"But I... okay." Kyungsoo just agreed, he's not one to really voice his opinion
"Minseok, you're the one we're relying on, okay? Although you're the only one who doesn't have magic, I'm pretty sure you're the strongest of us." The strawberry blond put his hand on Minseok's shoulder, patting it
"I believe in you" he said after seeing the sudden sorry on Minseok's face
-
"Guys..."
"I know right?? Like I totally didn't wanna take that class, tch"
"Guys please..."
"Why don't you just ditch and join mine? You're still going to class so staff can't complain"
"guys...-"
"Anyways, wanna go to your dorm afte-"
"GUYS PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME"
All eyes turned to Chanyeol
"We're not here to talk about your motherfucking sleepover ideas!" It seemed as if he growled, and a bit of flames sparked in his eyes
"God, sorry sir" one of the brunettes said, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes
Chanyeol sighed, walked up to the board and grabbed a marker
"What are your skills?"
"What do you think mine is?" The other brunette flipped her pigtails and did a twirl
Why was I put in a team of all girls...
Chanyeol thought, holding onto the bridge of his nose and shaking his head
"To tell ya the truth, none of us have magic" The first brunette came up and took the marker from his hand
Chanyeol was a bit taken aback, he wasn't expecting one of the girls to take charge
She wrote something on the board
Chanyeol -> Flames
Yeji -> Marksman
Lia -> Karate
"How did-"
"I know that your power is flames?? It's obvious. Everyone at school knows that mr. hot guy Chanyeol has the skill of flames. Do you think a handsome boy like you can escape us knowing?" Lia said, putting the marker down and looking up at him with a smirk
"Mr... hot guy...?" He questioned, in his brain, no one knew who he was except for his friends
"Yeah, you're tall, you have a pretty face, and a blinding smile. After the first game we played, everyone was talking about you." Yeji chimed in, sitting on the floor playing with the carpet strings
"I- wh- uH- anyway! What's gonna be our strategy?" Chanyeol stuttered, he was sort of dumbfounded from this information
"Just wing it I guess" Lia suggested
"I second that" Yeji agreed, nodding exaggeratedly
✨
After team meetings, all students were lead to a room underground that had 5 gigantic TVs and lots and lots of seats
"You all can watch the fights down here wheres it's safe just in case things go wrong." Jackson stated, sitting himself down on one of the many chairs next to his fellow staff members
Everyone collectively nodded and sat themselves down too with their teams, and sadly, away from their friends
"Hello once again students! It's me again, Eric. Please listen for your team room number as you'll be called onto the field for battle!"
"Together we'll win..." Chanyeol whispered
"Fighting." Lia and Yeji whispered back in reply
"Room thirteen."
Kyungsoo, Luhan and Minseok stood up together and walked out, up the staircase and back onto the stadium
"Let's win, ok?" Luhan smiled
Minseok and Kyungsoo just looked at him in silence
"OkAY!" The strawberry blond clapped his hands and tried to hype Himself up
"Room five."
The students stood up and like the other team, they made their way to the stadium. Hearts racing
Everyone got into their positions on each side of the field, like they planned
"DoNT BEAT US TOO HARD, OK??" Luhan screamed to the other team from the other side
But to his dismay, no response
"Shut up! We'll win." Minseok scoffed, tightening his grip on his sword
"And..." Jae said
"BEGIN!" Amber shouted into the mic
Kyungsoo immediately put his hands on the ground and a stone wall formed in front of him and to his sides blocking his vision, and another small stone for him to step on so he could see above his wall. He had just made a scouting area
"Ahhh smart move from Kyungsoo." Amber commented
Minseok looked at the other team who was still together in a little huddle, they hadn't spread out yet
He couldn't attack them just yet because he'd for sure lose, 3 v 1
He waited for them to disperse; which they didn't
They are planning a team attack. You can't go alone, Kyungsoo has to go with you
Luhan told Minseok through his mind
Kyungsoo slowly came out of his hiding area and stood next to Minseok
"Promise you won't abandon me." the brunette said
"I promise."
"On God?"
"On God."
They both then began to run straight for the other team
One of the members on the other team (let's just call them P1, P2 and P3)
Commanded the rest to charge back
Be careful! One of them has a power of creation, be aware of random items that she might create
Luhan warned his members, he was currently watching the battle take place from Kyungsoo's safety hideout
Minseok had 2 facing him and Kyungsoo had 1
"Lucky lineup if you ask me." Jongdae said to Baekhyun from the watch room
"Why do you say that?" He responded
"Kyungsoo is afraid of fighting, Minseok told me. So he's lucky that he has the lower number on him."
"Ahh okay... does Minseok tell you everything?"
"Nah, just some things."
Minseok swung his sword to one of his opponents, and like he expected, they dodged. And because he expected this he had a backup plan
He kept his sword swinging until it hit the ground, he pushed so his sword was inside of the floor and then jumped onto it, grabbing the collar of P1 before doing so
He threw P1 down onto P2, knocking them both onto the ground. He then jumped off of his sword, pulled it from under the ground and hit a blow to their armor
"Beautiful play by Minseok!" Jae clapped his hands into the mic until someone told him to stop cause it was annoying
Kyungsoo isn't so lucky with his skill though
He's only been able to defend himself
P3 is using an axe to repeatedly swing at Kyungsoo, terrifying the poor boy. As he didn't have any armor on
Stop backing up and dodging, use your magic!
Luhan commanded Kyungsoo
The brunette gulped and raised his hand, a small tree following under and blocking the strikes
He jumped and beneath his feet, branches followed
He ran up in the air, with his magic allowing him to do so until he was high enough where the enemy can't reach
Kyungsoo put his hand in front of himself, and created a wooden spear
He threw it at P3, but suddenly a shield was around her and defended her from the spear
She's the one with creation!
Luhan warned
"How the fuck am I supposed to beat creation??!!" Kyungsoo shouted
I don't know!!!
Luhan retorted
"Kyungsoo! Trap them for me" Minseok requested
The brunette looked over and saw P1 and P2 knocked out on the ground
He quickly abided
"Fend her off then" he responded, jumping off his branch and running to the knocked out duo
"Yes sir" Minseok agreed, readying his sword once again
Kyungsoo put his hands on the ground next to the two, and formed a small box made of roots around them
He looked over and saw Minseok neck and neck to P3
He put his hand on the ground again and another root shot from it, lunging itself at the girl
She jumped back, dodging the sneak attack
"Come" Kyungsoo ran back to Luhan, Minseok following behind. But that of course lead to P3 having time to set free her partners
"Okay, I've an idea." Luhan said to the two
"We need to find a way to constrict P3's hands, I've noticed that whenever she creates something it's always from her hands" he looked into the cold eyes of his teammates
"Kyungsoo, that's your job. You have a power similar to creation so tie her hands together with a strong vine or something"
"WhAT ARE YOU DOING??" P2 yelled from across the stadium
"HaVING A TEAM MEETING, THANK YOU VERY LITTLE!" Luhan yelled back
"WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT???"
"AND WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TEAM MEETING!! WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT?!!"
All the students watching started laughing, some slapping their knees
Chanyeol fell off his chair and laid on the ground, tears forming in his eyes and loud laughs escaping his lips
"Seems like Team Five and Team Thirteen are having some... verbal problems" Amber said, holding back a laugh
