Chapter 2: First Impression.
Chapter 2: First Impression.The school year began in earnest and with it, James’ challenge to Asher was approved by the school board and a date was set for the duel.
"Are you sure you should go on with this? It doesn’t make any sense." Victor said as he and Asher walked together towards their next class.
"Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. It would do you well to know that I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"Alright then, I’ll take your word for it."
The entire classroom fell silent as Asher Blackwood walked in. The circumstances surrounding his upcoming duel with James Sorrel had circulated round the school.
"It seems they already know who you are." Victor stated.
"Seems so." Asher replied.
The both of them walked to two empty seats and sat together. The other students were clearly avoiding them, especially those from humble backgrounds.
The chatter in the classroom continued and then a loud boom was heard within the class, smoke appeared and then everything cleared with a huge gust of wind.

"I can see that."
"So... what are you going to do?"
"Nothing. I don’t know what he wants from me and so I can’t act out."
"A wise choice Asher Blackwood. I presume you’re well prepared for your duel?" Professor Orion said as he started handing out pamphlets to the entire class with his expert manipulation of the wind element.
"Yes. Yes I am." Asher replied.
"Then shall we proceed to the duel field."
The entire class moved in sync with Professor Orion leading the way.
"Are you sure you should go on with this? I did some findings on James Sorrel and it seems he’s an interesting mage who specializes in elemental magic." Victor started explaining.
"I’ll be fine, it doesn’t matter." Asher replied.
