"Demonstrate your spells for us sir." The staff member in charge of training said to James. James was the last one in his section to be tested of his spells. Janica showed off her healing and shield summoning spells, Corin controlled wind to push in the direction of the rest of the group, Jasper summoned a suit of green plated armor and ignited his sword with flames, Wade could improve his sight for a short time and become fast at will, and Zewei used a spell that lets him slash with extreme speed at a target.

  "Is it ok for me to try out a spell I've never used before?" James asked, thinking of telekinesis.

  "Of course, we need to see what you can do after all."

  James looked at a nearby target and started a line of energy into it. The target started floating towards James, and James willed it to smash into a wall, destroying the target.

  "So you have a form of telekinesis?" The staff member asked.

  "I guess so. I'm gonna use my next spell now, and I want to try something new."

  James summoned a 1911 and fired at a target, knocking it down. He fired again at another target, but this time he will a connection of energy into the bullet that came out. The bullet stopped it's flight and hovered in place, before moving to another target and knocking that one down too.

  "I CAN MOVE BULLETS?!" James yelled excitedly, jumping up and down.

  "Is that what those things were called? What an odd wand."

  The next part of training was combat ability. The rest of the section went to fight summoned creatures in a stone room, with small windows looking in to watch. Most of the section chose the easy difficulty for the combat training, except Jasper who chose hard difficulty and ended up getting mauled by a summoned creature. Luckily if you die in combat training, it wouldn't be a real death since the creatures are summons.

  "Is it possible for me to not take combat training?" Janica asked the staff member, scared that she would also get mauled to death.

  "You could get paired with your brother if you'd like."

  "Yea I'd like that."

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Janica joined her brother in stepping into the stone training room, where there were four colors on the wall, green, yellow, orange, and red.

  "The green is easy," The staff member told them. "Yellow is somewhat difficult, orange is hard, and red is for the adults to train."

  Without hesitation, James slammed his hand on the red circle, and the blue men started appearing in the stone room. The men were somewhat transparent, and they wielded swords with ice coming off of it. They each had blue plated armor, and were charging at James and Janica.

  "JAMES WHY WOULD YOU PRESS THAT, THAT'S WORSE THAN HARD!" Janica screamed as the men swung at them, the summoned shields guarding them.

  "Because of this." James said, summoning an assault rifle. He mowed down summons with ease, the shields from Janica guarding him from attacks, and his energy being replenished from Janica's healing spell. Soon after though, Janica started running out of energy, and collapsed, along with the shields.

  "Ah shit!" James yelled as the men started swinging at James. James blocked with his rifle, the sword freezing the gun as James stumbled backwards. James re-summoned the gun and fired as he backed away, hitting a wall behind him. James saw Janica recovering, hiding in a corner of the room. James thought of the telekinesis spell he could use, so he willed a connection to one of the men's swords, and moved it to stab the user. The man fell to the ground, and got trampled by the rest of the men. James willed the sword to spin, and moved it towards the horde. The mens' armor blocked most of the blows from the sword, but it knocked a few backwards, giving James enough time to fire his gun even further. Janica recovered and healed some of James' energy back, summoned a shield for both of them, and ran back to his side.

  "Why did you have to do this?!" Janica scolded James as he kept firing.

  "Because gun." James said, nodding at his rifle.

  Soon enough, all the summons were dead, and the room's door opened. The staff member stepped through, his eyes wide in shock.

  "How did you guys end up clearing the hardest difficulty for this room first try?"

  "THAT WAS SICK DUDE!" Zewei cheered after the group returned to the cafeteria. "That spell of yours is crazy."

  "I could take on that difficulty too, you know." Jasper said, crossing his arms with a grunt.

  "You guys should get some rest," Corin said. "I saw Janica collapse in there, that must've meant you used a lot of energy to fight in there."

  "Corin's right," Wade said. "It looked like you guys consumed a lot of energy. When we did our training, we didn't go all out like you guys. Not trying to undermine your accomplishment of clearing out that difficulty, but you guys really shouldn't be pushing yourselves too hard, after all, it's only your second day here."

  "I get to hit the sack early?" James said. "Sweeet, see you guys later, I'ma drop dead real quick."

  James left the room, heading towards his bunk.

  "Did he said drop dead?" Corin asked Janica.

  "It's a saying that I don't think he used correctly."
