A few days earlier...

Fujin reluctantly headed down the staircase that lead to the basement of the WH center, where the Training Halls were located. He had been assigned some training prior to heading out for an important assignment. As he reached the dojo-like room, he saw his practice partner on the other side. He looked like an average guy so at least Fujin figured this wouldn't be too much of a pain in the ass. He was forced to use this random opponent thing because he didn't have any real friends among people the same level as him. After a quick bow, he pulled out the wooden cylinder he used as a handle from his pocket and assumed battle position.

"The name's Fujin Ventus... seems I'll be your opponent today.

It didn't take long for a man to turn up and introduce himself. Luca had been told that he would be training against a random fellow Witch Hunter today and he had only recently arrived in the arena himself. As his opponent readied himself and bowed, Luca smiled and returned the polite gesture.

"Ventus, eh...? I'm Luca Diversus, it's nice to meet you. Don't hold back."

Eager to begin, the boy launched himself forwards and threw the initial attack in the form of a punch at Fujin's chest.

The other Blue-Class was a bit younger than him, and clearly more energetic, as he engaged the fight right away. Fujin side-stepped to avoid the frontal attack and immediately replied with an elbow strike aimed at the boy's flanks. He then pivoted immediately to the right and delivered a fast-paced kick toward the upper chest region. Fujin's blue cape fluttered under a wind he summoned himself to empower his kick with further speed.

The man had dodged his punch with ease and followed up with a well-place attack using his elbow. Luca managed to step back to avoid this first strike, then reacted just about fast enough to raise his arms in front of his chest to block the kick that was following up. Not wanting to waste too much time, he jumped to the side and aimed a punch with reasonable power and speed into Fujin's side.

Luca was clearly more skilled than his young age made apparent; both avoided and blocked both of Fujin's attack and counter-attacked with great speed. Not having enough time to react after he brought his leg back down from his own attack, Fujin was hit directly. The power of the punch pushed him away a little and he grabbed his injured side with his free hand.

"Not bad at all..." He simply commented hiding the pain under a smirk. He then raised his right hand, holding the wooden cylinder, and aimed it at his opponent. "BOREAS!" He yelled as out of nowhere, in the closed room, a chilling wind began to blow directly in the direction of Luca. It not only froze to the bones, but also carried with it large chunks of ice with a diameter of about 10 cm.

______________

*Took the hit directly, -10 HP

*Boreas: Fujin calls upon the northern wind, bringer of frost. A chilling gust blows toward the enemy and a hailstorm begins, throwing large chunks of ice at the enemy. The extreme cold also slows them down.
ATTACK & EFFECT Drains half the dealt damage in speed from the enemy. Can't be used with other winds.

Used 15 mana to deal 15 damage and drain 7 speed.

Luca's happiness at having made contact with his punch was short lived, as Fujin yelled a strange word which was followed by an equally strange event. The wind that blew threw the room chilled him greatly and he found it difficult to move his arms, but did so anyway; those chunks of ice that were heading towards him looked like they would hurt. Grinning, Luca's hands threw out a shock wave which shattered the chunks of ice in mid-air. After this, the boy ran at his opponent and jumped, swinging his foot around in a kick aimed at Fujin's jaw and charged with the special ability which would send a powerful shock wave through his opponent on contact. "TAKE THAT," he shouted.

Wind = -7 speed

Block (using ability: 3 – (Type = Defence) He can use his shock wave technique in a different way, releasing it out into the air with substantial force. This is strong enough to block or counter attacks) = -7 Energy

Kick (using ability: 1 – (Type = Attack) Can create a powerful shock wave from one of his hands, arms, feet or legs that will hurt (and, in theory, push back) his opponent. This is a close range attack (usually used along with the momentum of some other strike, like a punch or kick, though this isn't a necessity), the force of which can bend steel if strong and focused enough) = -10 Energy = 20 damage

Luca quickly made show of his own personal abilities after Fujin summoned his first wind. He literally shattered the ice the storm master had sent at him in mid-air without touching them. Fujin quickly got on the defensive after that, expecting a counter-attack that came shortly after. It was time to get a bit serious and so he raised his arm again calling out "NOTOS!", causing a heavy downpour to fall inside the very room. Those in charge of cleaning it would probably not be happy, but at least it created a visual barrier of rain making it easier for Fujin to dodge the kick aimed at him. Of course he also had a harder time discerning his enemy amidst the rain but he had to try. He lunged back at the boy this time with a fast-paced uppercut aimed right for his head.

_________________________

*Notos: Fujin calls upon the southern wind, carrier of rain. A dense downpour starts over the battle area, reducing both sight and hearing due to all the rain and the noise it makes. It makes precision attacks extremely difficult to do.
EFFECT Halves the dodging costs for ALL people on the battlefield. Can't be used with other winds.

Costs 5 energy

*Dodged the attack at half the cost, 10 speed

*Used 10 strength to attack and added 10 speed for 20 damage.

The man used another of his powers to cause a downpour, obscuring the vision of both combatants. With this sudden torrent of rain, Fujin was able to avoid his opponent's kick with apparent ease. Luca stepped back and concentrated in an attempt to figure out what would come next. Expecting another attack, he channelled a higher amount of energy into his legs and began to emit a silent frequency which made the ground shake slightly. He knew this would enhance his reaction time, as it had proven to be a useful ability in the past. Sure enough, Fujin soon came at him once again, but with the assistance of his special ability Luca was more than able to retaliate by leaning backwards (and thus avoiding the uppercut) and swinging his foot up into Fujin's chest for another shot at the shock wave strike.

_________________

Ability = 6 – (Type = Effect) He channels a higher amount of his energy into his legs and feet, causing a very quiet rumbling as the inaudible frequency created causes the ground beneath him to vibrate ever so slightly. Halves dodging costs for the user only = -5 Energy

Dodge = cost halved by Notos, halved again by Ability 6 = -5 Speed

Kick (with ability) = 1 – (Type = Attack) Can create a powerful shock wave from one of his hands, arms, feet or legs that will hurt (and, in theory, push back) his opponent. This is a close range attack (usually used along with the momentum of some other strike, like a punch or kick, though this isn't a necessity), the force of which can bend steel if strong and focused enough = -10 Energy = 20 Damage

Fujin had his attack dodged with ease, probably due to his own ability but also because his opponent was unseemly fast. He quickly bent his knees to avoid the impending kick, but did not waste a second to prepare his next move. Clapping his hands together, he canceled the rain in an instant to clear his senses. Then, while still in a lowered position, he aimed a punch directly toward Luca's leg, the only one he was standing on. At the same time with his free hand he called upon Boreas again with a forward gesture. Having already summoned him to the battle he did not need to call his name twice. The battle was reaching it's climax as both opponents used the fullest extent of their abilities.

Again, his attack was dodged. Luca was annoyed by this man's obvious skill as he had actually expected a much easier challenge; he thought he was rather skilled himself, in fact. As soon as the man ceased his rain ability he threw a punch at the boy's leg. Luca stopped channelling energy into his legs and, thinking on the spot, threw his leg forward into the punch and expelled another strong shock wave, cancelling the strike and forcing a lot of power into Fujin with the blocking ability. He hadn't noticed his opponents subtle gesture, however, so as he became suddenly cold and the ice shards flew towards him, Luca gritted his teeth and allowed them to smash against his chest, throwing him backwards. The young Blue-class, bent over forwards, skidded to a halt as he slammed his hand against the ground. Not wanting to waste much time, he grinned and dashed at Fujin once more, building up some momentum and then crouching low as he approached and fired a punch into the man's stomach.

Fujin's punch was intercepted in a fashion he certainly could not have predicted; a kick. Not only that, but he could also feel his very strength sent back at him somehow. As he felt the power wave of sorts through his fist he immediately pulled back. Bending his back, he executed a swift back-flip to avoid the damage. He was a very agile fighter, but he knew he could not take many direct hits like he did earlier.

Luca was far from over though, as he charged right back with a punch that Fujin definitely didn't want to take. With a firm strike of his right hand, he diverted the track of the enemy's punch, blocking the hit. With his left hand he punched right back, then turned around and aimed another right kick at his enemy's torso. Jumping backwards again, the windmaster then called out another wind: "ZEPHYROS!" A powerful gale then blew upon the room, tearing out the various decorations on the wall and the two wooden benches on the side and pushing them straight at the other Blue-Class WH.

____________________________________
*Dodged, -10 speed

*Blocked (-15 stam) and countered (-10 stamina) sending 10 damage.

*Kick, used 10 strength

*4- Zephyros: Fujin calls upon the mighty western wind. The strongest wind that Fujin can summon, blowing at about 150 km/h, it can send a light-sized opponent flying in an instant. Stronger people can withstand it, but the wind tends to tear out parts of the surroundings like wooden buildings or trees sending them flying toward the direction Fujin chooses.

ATTACK Can't be used with other winds.

Used 15 energy for 30 damage sent.

Note: I screwed up in my explaining of the countering, I'm sorry. The damage sent by a counter DOES NOT include the original damage sent. So basically if you use 20 stamina (or 10 stam and 5 energy in your case) you only send 10 damage back. My original explanation was unclear and I once again apologize for the confusion. I made my calculations as if you had sent 10 damage to reflect this.
