OOC: Not too dandy, but I'm in a post whoring mood, so I made this quickly. ^^;
"I just don't get it..."
The thought ran through a student's mind who was standing in the training grounds looking at his red gloves which were slipped onto his hands. He stared at them for quite a few seconds before standing up tall deciding it was best to just get to training. Though he didn't want to be stronger, it was the only way he could help protect his friends in there time of need.
"Why do they want me to fight back though? I hate fighting..."
Drawing back his right arm behind his back, a few seconds passed, and then the boy threw it straight forward, a giant burst of wind was formed pushing back having the grass from underneath his white tennis shoe colored feet blow the direction the fist went harshly for about ten feet. Almost as if scared, the blond haired boy jumped back, his eyes looking at his hand in fear as he took off his right hand glove.
"The hell? It didn't even hurt... Still, I didn't want to use magic... I... don't want to accidentally hurt someone..."
Slipping his right glove back onto his hand, he twisted his arm around a wave of of lightning shot out from the glove moving all around it in a circular motion as a static like noise was heard through out the pretty empty training grounds. The boy's blue eyes widened as he stared at the lightning with his jaw dropped open not really understanding what the hell was going on.
It was like the twilight zone!
"What the hell? I thought I could control this stuff, but once I found these gloves..."
The lightning stopped, and the boy stared at the glove which was now back to normal. He would of continued to bother with the questions of what the hell was going on, but he really didn't have the time.
This student, who was also known as Ghiste, was no longer alone, and now it seemed that someone else was here to train too. Being a bit hesitant, Ghiste stopped all training, though he only sent a few punches anyways, and he was a bit nervous due to the fact that the person may of seen that weird display of magic.
Of course, at Arcane Academy, it probably wasn't anything special, but to Ghiste, it was extremely scary and nerve reckoning!

Leon had entered the training ground to get himself familuerized with the area. He was unsure as to what he would find there, but once he did get there he found another person there. But what he saw was the display of the electrical magic. This kinda got Leon's blood going for a few seconds. so he figured he mite as well show the boy some of his stuff real quick and see if they mite want to train together. He would walk up to the person and make sure to make as much noise as he could so the other person didn't think he was trying to sneak up on him. He would stop near the guy to hopefully get his attention. He would put a half smile on and throw up his duks mocking a boxer ans then point at the person then himself alittle quickly.
This was asking if he wanted to go at it with him. Of course Leon wouldn't verbally ask since he didn't like talking to people, he was more into keeping to himself, but the boys display of electricle prowess intrigued him. His green vest that hung open over the white t-shirt, and his slightly baggy tan cargo shorts. He wore white tan clod hoppers, and he wore gloves on his hands with a simple metal plate under the knuckles. His spear was attached to a strap on magnatised peice of metal. He took that off and set it to the side. This would tell ghiste he wasn't going to use it. Of course he was told somewhere that he couldn't use it anyways. So the short, spikey, golden, blonde hair of his just kinda seemed to stand on end now. His brown eyes where normel nothing speciel about them.

It seemed that someone else was coming, Ghiste could hear the noise in the grass, and he turned around to see another boy coming toward him. Sort of a bit freaked out, Ghiste took a few steps backward, the blue eyes just staring at him as he waited to see what he was planning on doing. Noticing that he threw the spear away, Ghiste sort of thought he was planning on challenging Ghiste to a fist fight or something. That was Ghiste's specialty, he could duke it out fist to fist with anyone he wanted, and he has never lost a fist fight in his life. That is, when he tries to fight, but he never did that anymore, he was sort of afraid of hurting people, he has been for three years.
Still, Ghiste didn't want to disappoint him, and this was the 'training grounds', maybe if he went easy on him. Still, the uncontrolled magic could be a problem. Well, Ghiste decided he might as well just play with him, and he wouldn't go all out fighting. Maybe if Ghiste could hold back he could just give enough to where this guy gets some training in, but doesn't get that hurt.
Tilting his neck to the side a bit, Ghiste shook both of his hands, which both quickly had a spark of flares come out of the gloves, and they both went into fists.
"These gloves... they are so awkward... Yet I don't feel pain when doing this stuff with them on, but me not controlling it doesn't help much...
With that thought, Ghiste quickly charged forward as he then jumped off the grass, and he managed to jump high into the air kicking off the ground. This was one of his magic spells which he really didn't even know was magic, he just thought he was always able to jump naturally high. He quickly moved right toward the other, landing right near him, and then he side stepped to the right sending a hard right fist out right toward the boy's left shoulder.
Ghiste held back a lot of strength, so if the attack hit, it would only send him back a few feet, luckily, with the attack no magic was displayed so it wouldn't effect him to much. It was all just pure physical abilities, besides the jumping part, but that really isn't even that useful anyways right?
Well, Ghiste made many options on how to dodge that attack, and many ways how to counter, how he did it though was all up to him.

Leon looked on at the other person as they seemed to have agreed to the bout. Leon kinda got alittle nervouse when he saw he flairs from when he flicked the gloved hands around. But Leon had seen something along those lines before. But it was very different. Leon tightened his fists as Ghiste took off and then leapt into the air. He went pretty high too. Leon was alittle caught up in the thought of how high he got by the time Ghiste landed it kinda startled Leon into flinching. So in doing so he obsorbed most of the punch with his muscles, but was still thrown back some feet. If only he could find some metal in this place he would feel better. That was a good sized punch as well, held power in it. Leon rotated his body backward in the air and grabbed the ground from behind him with his right hand to flip himself back around to his feet.
Once corrected Leon grew a small smile on his face. Running forward towards Ghiste Leon would charge both his arms with one of his spells. This was only for intimidational reasons, he hopefully could keep it in check, but he would use the spell he had named Sparks. why? Well because it made hundreds of very small flashing sparks that did nothing, but flash extream light around. But Leon had thrown it with a punch. His punch went for Ghiste's right shoulder with his left arm. His right arm would cross over readying to hopefully block any counter attack thrown. He was trained in arts of combat by an elder, but he was never tested them, so this would basicelly be Leon's first fight ever.

The attack hit, and it managed to knock his opponent off farther then Ghiste was expecting for him to go. This gave Ghiste time to prepare, he moved back a few feet noticing Leon quickly changing his momentum to where he could charge right back toward Ghiste. It seemed he had some magic as well because suddenly a bunch of sparks were formed all around him, Ghiste's eyes stared around at them, as he then expected for them to come toward him. Still, for some reason they did nothing, but as soon as Ghiste noticed that he felt something hit him hard into the right shoulder knocking him back a few feet backward. Nothing which hurt to bad though, after all, the shoulder was a strong bone, and Ghiste had a lot of muscle around it to absorb the blow. Both of his eyes went back onto Leon as he then sprang backward a few feet to get some distance.
"...The hell was that?"
Quickly shaking out his fists once again with a cracking noise heard in them, Ghiste's focus went back onto the boy. Still, Ghiste was in no shape to attack, and most likely his opponent would be following up as soon as he saw Ghiste's retreat. Both of Ghiste's arms went up, his legs sliding, his right one forward, his left in back as his fists remained tightly clinched and in front of his body in a boxing like position. Ghiste still had no idea what he was doing, he was hesitant toward hurting this guy, but he might just have too if he pulled anymore spells like that, Ghiste didn't want to get himself annihilated during this fight!

Leon had landed his blow and this made Leon feel good for some reason, maybe it was all the stress from being around so many people durring the day. It felt good to land that blow, so moving onward Leon kept to it. He noted Ghiste move back, so Leon had to move forward some more. He had to charge more forward to keep up with Ghiste. He would reach back a right punch, but pull it further at the last second to put extra momentum into a kick. This left kick would be shot at Ghiste, aiming low, for the thy. If this where any other type of fight Leon would have went for the knee, but he didn't instead he went to leave a bruise.
Seeing as this was a friendly fist fight and all, Leon broke the rules by throwing a kick. Yea so what, he threw the kick and as many know in friendly type fights one only aims to bruise, or make the apponent sting. Not to hurt, or knock the other out. Thats why both where holding alot back. Punchs thrown where pulled, kicks shot where slow and easy to read. Things like that. They would most likely end up bruised and acking, but hopefully nothing seriouse.

Quickly as his opponent charged right toward Ghiste, he quickly jumped, and the direction he jumped was smart too. Over in the close distance about five feet away from the left of where Ghiste was, there was a tree in the distance. Ghiste wasn't planning on using it as a big advantage, just use it as leverage toward his next action. Ghiste jumped managing to go far enough to where he was near the base of the tree, and then the bottom of his white sneakers bounced of it jumping Ghiste forward right at Leon. This was one of Ghiste's styles to help him get out of sticky situations, and now he could charge right toward Leon with whatever attack he could use since he could jump the way he did. He was soaring at Leon at a pretty quick speed, and he did a flip in the air to where he could get extra distance.
He was around Leon when he finished the flip, and he drew his left leg back to kick Leon hard into the face. It was the perfect attack, it was so deadly, so dead on, it would of been enough to knock him out instantly if Leon didn't have the endurance to last. Yet, Ghiste couldn't do it, he quickly retreated the leg as he began to fall toward the ground, landing on his right leg, most likely, around this time, Leon was probably trying to protect himself from the left leg, so he wouldn't get an attack in while Ghiste was in the air, but Ghiste was wide open for whatever he may try now that he was on the ground and everything.
And fear has overcome Ghiste again!

Leon saw Ghiste jump, damn was he good at that. He could jump fast, high and far. It almost scared Leon. But being the way he was it only made him want more of this fight. He awaited Ghiste to come in, and he did, he did it fast and it looked like he was gonna go hard into this one. Leon braced himself and concentrated readying a Rah-Ken spell., but something faultered in his apponents attack and he kinda, lost it. He went to the ground, and left himself open, probably not good in his position, but since it was still on, the training at least Leon figured he would take advantage of this.
He would send a dart kick from the floor, his knee would press against his chest as his body would turn sideways and bend over a bit. Then from there the leg would shoot out. This one was aimed for the upper part of the body, just above the bottom rib, but it was not flat like it was supposed to be, the foot was tilted, so to leave only a bruise and to push him away. So this was not ment to damage him, but to land another blow. After this fight though Leon would hopefully get the guys name. He felt the urge to use a Rah-Ken spell, but he knew what it did to him, and he knew what it did to others.

OOC: Yeah, this post is pretty bad... I'm not really good at holding back against people in a fight, but I'm trying! ^^;
After falling to the ground, Ghiste felt a small pain hit his right set of ribs as Ghiste jumped back a few feet as response to this. Ghiste wasn't the best fighter in open spaces, he felt to confined, he liked to jump, and liked having walls to help him do so. Still, even with this, he didn't want to beat this guy either, he just wanted to fight to help not himself, but his friend Minji who he cared for dearly. Quickly, Ghiste shook out his hands, no magic this time managed to spark out of his gloves, and Ghiste they rotated into fists yet once again, he did this commonly to keep his fists loose, as well as give him a spark of energy motivation. Even if Ghiste wasn't aiming to hurt him, he was still trying not to get himself get the hell knocked out of him, he couldn't let that happen AGAIN during his time at Arcane Academy.
Quickly, Ghiste charged at him raising his right hand, and then he quickly sent a fist right toward Leon's face. It was precise, and it was going directly at his nose at full force. Suddenly though, both of Ghiste's feet sprung into the air making him jump high up, and then instead of using that hand to hit him in the face he planning on extending his fingers and using it to push off of the boy's head. Now, normally this would look to be really stupid, but it actually had its advantages.
It would give some minor damage to Leon as well as confusion on why Ghiste would do something like this. Also, it wouldn't hurt him bad, and it would allow Ghiste to get on the back side of him maybe causing him to think a little bit. All Ghiste wanted to do was give this boy a fight he would like, he didn't really want to hurt him though, something about giving pain to others just wasn't one of Ghiste's favorite things to do.
Still, he was beginning to play a tad bit more harshly, maybe he could go to a certain point of fighting, just not to a point to where he has to use any magic...
It was a hard decision, and the fight continued to rage on...

Leon had landed the kick and backed off as he thought was right. ghiste had gotten himself ready for his attack and Leon was done getting warmed up as well. He was just about prepared for Ghiste's attack when he came at him. Leon had prepared himself for a kick, or punch coming at him, but what he saw was neither of the two, instead he saw an opening hand. Now first mistake every since this was after all his first fight ever and he had no previes experience on the matter, he just watched wondering what he was doing. Wrong answer. Ghiste had pushed off Leon's head, which did hurt, he just didn't react like he thought he was going to.
He stumbled a bit, and almost lost his footing, but was able to remain standing, but one question sorta puzzled Leon for a moment. where did he go? Well the only logical answer was behind him from the jump, but Leon turned around alittle late, because he had been open for quite long enough for a good attack to hit. Or even a small attack, it didn't matter Leon had just made a big mistake.

"Just do it!"
Quickly, after Ghiste sprang up from his opponents head, he managed to bend in his legs to make it to where he could fully jump over Leon's head in a possible manner. With that he extended his right leg around then did a quick three sixty degree turn. By the time he would be landing it would most likely hit Leon hard in his right ear since Ghiste was spinning counter clockwise. Ghiste was planning on then retreating his leg, and moving back a few feet. Ghiste didn't put full momentum in the spin, only enough to where he could be quick enough to do it. Most likely it would only cause a stinging pain, and wouldn't do anything which would stay permanent in pain for the rest of the fight.
Ghiste would push backward after this, of course, Ghiste was probably holding back about 1/10 of his true powers, this of course being magic mixed in with his strength. Still though, he didn't have the guts to go all out against him, and there for he was probably going 50% of his entire physical strength against his opponent. Ghiste wasn't expecting that Leon was going full strength either, but Ghiste had a feeling if he went all out then he might just have the ability to win. Still, not everything was about winning, it wasn't worth Ghiste winning this fight to just prove that he was the best, he could take the loss as long as it meant that he didn't hurt anyone beyond what he should of. If his opponent manages to batter Ghiste's body, and completely destroy it, that was all on him...
After the attack, Ghiste would back up giving a good distance, this wasn't for Ghiste, it was to give time for Leon to regenerate after Ghiste's current attack.

Before he could have a chance to turn around he had been smacked in the side of the head around the ear, actuelly it would seem his ear was the target. a ringing sound could be heard from the pop of the kick. He bent sideways and spun around quick. The blow was decent and would most likely had been one to knock his head off if it was used to it's full potentiel, now Leon knew he was holding back, and so was Leon.
He noticed the back off, so Leon stuck both of his hands out straight and concentrated. He allowed electricity to jump from arm to arm, to give him alittle energy boost. Just to keep himself going alittle longer, more for motivationel reasons really.
But now that that was over Leon would charge forward towards Ghiste. He only get close enough to make an attack with his legs, and they switched off on the leader, he would then front hand spring into a drop kick like move. He was not intending on doing damage, so he didn't push off the ground very hard, he only did with enough force to throw the move, and hopefulkly be able to correct himself in the air.
If he was able to correct himself in the air he would come around and come down with a downward punch, that would be thrown and once contact was made, be pulled away to minimize damage.

Well, it was now Leon's turn to go into the offensive, and like Ghiste was planning he did. Ghiste waited for awhile, studying how he was going to attack, it was clear now, Ghiste had physical abilities in the bag in this fight. Leon may of had a few tricks up his sleeves, but he was definitely on the losing side. Ghiste has performed so many things which could of check mated Leon pain wise, but he was holding back of course to keep from making anything sudden. As soon as he noticed Leon jump up, Ghiste quickly jumped backward high in the air, enough to let him do a back flip, and get away clearly from the attack which was being used. This was only because Leon jumped, there for he couldn't soar through the air forever, and Ghiste managed to get a good ten feet away from him.
Sweat began to pour slightly down Ghiste's face, after all, he has been jumping around a lot, and it begins to take its toll on you. Still, it wasn't enough to completely drain out Ghiste yet, it was getting there though. Ghiste let out a grunt as he wiped off the sweat with his right hand, and then waited for Leon to charge at him again. He was going to need to conserve energy if he wanted to get out of the constant attacks alive, and that truly was going to be a tough thing to do. Everything was going to depend on what Leon may do next, and due to the electricity display he used earlier, Ghiste knew that he could pin Ghiste down if he decided to use his magic, that was, if he knew how to control his magic properly.
Only time could tell how far this fight could go!

Stopping for a moment and letting himself cool off. He had to hand it to Ghiste he sure did put this fight through its paces in this one. this being leons first fight he wondered how this would of went if magic played a bigger role. Still he knew from the physical damages he was on the losing end. But still this was not a real fight, this was just supposed to be fun. So Leon moved forward slowly lettign the sweat drip from his face and chin.
He would run forward and prepare a strong swinging slash like punch, by pulling his right arm over to his left and running kinda turned that way. Once reaching a few inches away he would most likely be assuming that he would be throwing that slash like move, but no he hit the ground with his left leg and pivoted around sending in a right kick instead. It would be aimed to the upper left shoulder of Ghiste instead of the herad or neck.

Again Leon had made his way toward Ghiste who lifted his hands in a boxing like position, once again planning on getting away. Suddenly though when his opponent came toward him Ghiste saw the slash like attack, and quickly took a step backward digging his feet hard into the soil of the ground preparing himself for a counter like move to force his opponent to retreat. As the foot was about to spring though, Ghiste saw a change in motion as his opponent managed to switch into a horizontal kick like motion. Ghiste quickly halted all motion to quickly hop back again, but it was to late, the kick slammed hard into his left should, making Ghiste stumble to the right a few feet. Quickly, Ghiste went back to defensive like motions as he jumped backward to get the distance away. Ghiste quickly lifted both hands waiting for his opponent to go for another charge.
Why was Ghiste waiting for another charge? Well, it would be kind of stupid not to go for the combo by charging after scoring the first hit right? Ghiste was just expecting the most obvious thing, and probably the smartest option too. Ghiste was a good fighter when it came to knowledge, emotionally though, well it is best we don't go there!
