Alex watched wide-eyed to the old man who basically turned into an angel. That was the kind of power he’d need to protect Alexis. No doubt. The power of a literal guardian angel. The old man then proceeded to beat down on the dummy with not a care for the world. Something Alex could barely believe, as he witnessed the old man crawling over the floor just a few moments ago. Awe and respect formed in Alex’s heart as he heard the incantations. He had no idea what the old man meant with ‘the poisons of sin’ but he guessed it could only do good to someone. But from the third incantation, the only one he heard completely, he guessed the man’s power came from his faith. Not too surprising, he guessed. He should have known from his garment and transformation that he was talking to a man of faith.

[color=fff200]"Told... you. Do I look... so weak anymore?”[/color]

Alex grinned a little. The man was exhausted, but Alex could hardly hold that against him. After beating down a dummy like that and casting two support spells, he’d imagine he was drained as well. But he wasn’t stupid. A sudden surge in power after being exhausted, only to return to a tired state? The man was showing off, and he wasn’t planning to loose from an old man who believed in a god.

[color=00aeef]“No but, hold on please. I need to finish my stuff.”[/color]

Alex swiftly returned to his own dummy. For Nimeuh’s material form another dummy stood ready. [color=00aeef]“Okay, Nimueh. Let’s prove ourselves. To the old man. To the guilds. To the Goodguards. To Alexis!”[/color] With that, he outstretched his first arm, as if he was using some form of martial art. With his palm open, he hit the air, but one orb from his back flew up towards the dummy. And it missed. In fact, it would have hit another competitor if the range on it wasn’t just a little bit bigger. Instead, it dissolved right before it hit them. [color=00aeef]“Sorry!”[/color] the kid yelled, sincerely apologetic. After that, he took another breath and launched his second orb in the same fashion. This time it connected with a rather loud impact. The first orb had returned now, and Alex quickly threw that one as well. It hit the dummy in the side and deflected towards the ground. This continued for a few moments. As Alex tried to hit the dummy but sometimes missed completely. His misses often nearly hit people, after which he always yelled a sorry. But he wasn’t giving up. Eventually, from all the force delivered, the wood holding the dummy to its weights cracked and the dummy toppled over. With a childish jump, he screamed: [color=00aeef]“Yes!”[/color]

But Nimueh was getting impatient. She didn’t give her master much time to rejoice. The little spirit fused with her master. The circlet formed on his head and he felt how ‘gates were opened’ within his body. With a deep breath, he moved towards the third dummy and started lifting his arms. It took some power and focus, but slowly his telekinesis lifted the dummy up for him. Alex would have preferred if he could slam it into the ground with extra force from the telekinesis. But his powers were waning and he still had the final dummy. So instead he just released his grip on the dummy. It felt tumbling down into the floor. Satisfied with the result, he moved towards the final dummy and outstretched his arms once more. But this time he didn’t just mentally grasp it. Instead, he formed a pyramid with his thumbs and pointing fingers. From deep within him he summoned the psionic power and released it in a ray starting from the pyramid. Satisfied, but tired, he released Nimueh from the focus, letting her take on her animal shape.

He turned back towards the priest. Suddenly realizing he never introduced himself. That and he that he gave in to some silly contest of power. Which wasn’t just childish, it did no good to a future guardian. Internally he berated himself from acting out so childish. [color=00aeef]“Sorry, I just realized, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Alex Reinner. Tell me, priest. Are you looking for someone to team up with? Because I would definitely want someone like you having my back.”[/color] To add to his already sincere tone he outstretched his arm and gave the old man a sincere smile. All the while Nimueh jumped on his shoulder, meowing. Smelling something interesting.
