Chapter 9 - June.

[A/N:[ holy shit my arm is so fucked, and I still have to work on shit that requires strength, my imagination kinda dying, so if the chapters are more boring please do tell, and say what kind of things you would like to see.]

Arthur was sitting at the cafeteria, as usual in his own table, eating lunch, thinking about how he could shape his aspect next. He had figured out how to summon the amount of the violet fire he wanted to call upon, however, he got a taste of his flaw. And it was troubling, he had nearly erased the whole training field from existence, and he was forbidden to get a new one till August.

Finishing up his lunch he stood up, he had been noticing more and more sleepers come in, appearently most legacies were done with their training, and arrived here to socialize and make allies for the dream realm.

Arthur only scoffed at the notion, you cannot make allies with people who share such different ideologies and goals.

Arthur knew the saying "no one survives the dream realm alone" very well, however he will make his allies, when he goes into the dream realm, no point in trying to do such a thing now, considering the most likely fact that most people here wouldn't see each other again.

As Arthur was instructing a sleeper, focusing more on him just because he was a lot younger, around fourteen or fifteen years, he was approached by a sleeper.

"Hello, I am Han li Caster" Arthur turned to him brow raised and gave the boy a nod "Arthur".

The most likely legacies, smile faltered just a tiny bit, however he quickly straightened himself and spoke again.

"I couldn't help but notice, that most of the sleepers come to you for help."

Arthur nodded once again, waiting for him to continue.

"Appearently you are the strongest one here, and so I would like to request a spar." Arthur looked at him, a slow smile growing on his face "who told you that I'm the strongest here?",

Caster rose a brow, but answered nonetheless.

"Most of the sleepers here, they seem to respect you, maybe even slightly fear" as Arthur nodded seemingly satisfied he answered.

"Well I'm not the strongest here, people just think that, and I do not have time to spar."

The smile on Caster's smile slightly fell, but he nodded and left.

Caster, the legacy boy with a seemingly powerful aspect, continued to approach Arthur once or twice a week for the next month.

At one of these occasions Arthur, seemingly fed up with the legacy, accepted the challenge.

"One rule, no aspects" instructor Rock informed.

Both of the boys nodded, and the spar began.

Caster waiting no time, blitzed forward way faster than any sleeper should be without his aspect, and slashed his practice sword high, aiming for his throat, slightly leaning backwards, Arthur raised his own sword and parried the second swing before Caster could fully extend his arm, switching to one handed grip, Arthur kept his weight on the sword, and raised his left first in a powerful uppercut, Caster seemingly able to react, rolled with the blow, slightly lessening the impact.

Getting to his feet, Caster's eyes sharpened, taking this seriously now, he adapted a defensive stance, waiting for Arthur to attack, Arthur grinned slightly, keeping the blade in one handed grip, he sprinted forward, clashing it against Caster's own, as they started another round.

Most of the other sleepers long stopped practicing and watched on.

Dodging backwards, then leaping to the side, Arthur raised his weapon in a thrust stopping it short of Caster's throat, who was in a middle of his attack, blade already raised.

As instructor Rock declared Arthur the winner, everyone went on with their business, talking about the spar they just witnessed.

A/N:[hopefully I didint make him seem too powerful, with aspects, he would definitely lose, unless ofc he actually hit Caster with destruction, no one could really tank that.

HOWEVER I do got a question, how powerful should I make destruction, because frankly he could kill titans right now, so it has to have a limit, I'm thinking maybe physical objects just get destroyed as usual, but people and nightmare creatures get soul damage or something, not sure.]
