[center][h1]Ultana Whelen - Seidoujima Island - Market District - Field By The River[/h1][/center]

Even though she didn't get to rest on her full stomach, she ended up getting to fight as well. Besides, she can just burn it off during the fight so it works out in the end. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Heh, fine with me. Who knows how longs it's been since I've had a real fight."[/b][/color] she beamed. Considering how things went in Igneus and how boring things been in her first month or so in the Academy, she's hardly had a decent opponent to fight with or had any fun. Her opinion of Asta was definitely changing. Considering she had no weapon on hand, like Asta, she casted her own "Solid Armament" spell and recreated her personal weapon with magic. With that, they begin their fight, with Asta making the first move.

Asta takes a stance shield front with spear over shoulder and shield, before she throws it, causing a magical spear of ice to hurl forth while she still holds her weapon. While noting the shield, Ultana steps into spear path attempting to block it with her sword and following with a sweeping kick at Asta's legs. Asta lowers her stance onto one knee and absorbs the strike with shield to her side while simultaneously using the rotation to thrust her spear in counter.

Ultana tries to scramble away to avoid a direct blow and swings her sword launching several earthen spikes at Astas upper body. Asta with her shield freed from holding Ultana's sword, pulls it front to guard from the earth spikes, before advancing through the attack with her spear going for a wide swing, a layer of ice tips the edge, increasing it's range. [color=2e3192][b]"That's more like it! Come on!"[/b][/color], Asta was a different person in battle. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Guess I'm not the only who is excited, 'The brave shall know glory, onwards with fortitude'" [/b][/color]

Casting 'Ward Of Shields' Ultana casts an area of protection with her magic, Ultana chooses to target Asta's spear arm with her Earthen Spikes and charges in on the opposite side to strike. Ultana's attack wards off Asta's advance, causing her footwork to step back and pull the shield up to defend against her follow-up. Seeing as Ultana charged at her shield side, it wasn't difficult at all to guard against it. It appears the moves will be a repeat of parry and shield until someone does something different. With direct attacks not working, Ultana decided to bet on luck and momentum and once again swinging her weapon and calling forth her Earthen Shards. 

However, aiming upwards hoping for them to get high as possible before gaining momentum in fall and crash down like a meteor. Whether it succeeds or not, Ultana plans to use her leg strength to charge in for a suicide tackle. Asta spotting the ploy looks up, before back down, taking a kneeling stance and summoning a dome around her to guard her from the wide area attack while casting Archers of Ice. [color=2e3192][b]"Ten archers of the tundra, fire!"[/b][/color] A volley of 10 arrows flies out from behind her just around the same time as the earth shards land on her shield, splinting it.

With her ploy snuffed out, she swings her weapon into the ground in a desperate attempt to ward off the incoming arrows as she rolls away on the ground from the momentum of her failed charge. With her attempts to get close to Asta going nowhere, she uses the dirt and debris from her swing as a smokescreen to give her some chanting time. [color=9e0b0f][b]“With the spirits of flame and earth, I shall sing a melody that’ll scorch the earth.”[/b][/color] Changing her form, she sacrificed her enhanced physical prowess for spell power,she decided to go bring out the big guns. 

[color=9e0b0f][b]“From the depths of the earth, you shall become a prisoner of the earth adorned with shackles of stone.”[/b][/color] Hoping to bind her arms and legs for one last charge, she casts her 'Chains Of The Earth' spell, one of her best spells. The battle reaches a deadlock as her charge strikes Asta's shield, creating a deadlock, yet it is quite clear both are getting a little too into their activity, even casting large spells. A passing by teacher, the substitute history teacher Maeleene, spots them. [color=007236][b]"The fatal hunger of the deep shall claim it's meal, be prey to these fangs"[/b][/color]. Watery serpents rise up from around the two as they're grabbed and held apart.

In Hindsight, they probably went a biiiiiiiit to far in their 'little' sparring match, with the whole destruction of public property, casting attack magic in the open.....fighting another student and what not. Of course, the teacher wasn't exactly pleased with their actions. Ultana's 'It was only a friendly spar' line of reasoning also didn't fly with the teach. In the end, the teacher had them in, what Ultana would learn the hard way, the 'Seiza' position or 'Proper Sitting' while giving them a proper scolding. While the aftermath wasn't much fun, Ultana had fun. She definitely saw Asta in a new light and knew she was going to have a fun time in the Academy.
