Archangels of War

An explosion shook the ground and walls of the lobby once more, sending large amounts of debris cascading from the already ruined ceiling. 

Large chunks crashed into the ground, kicking up even more smoke than there already was, quickly making it nearly impossible to see anything. 

Flipping himself on top of a large rock, Masayoshi held his hand up into the air, summoning the green orb. 

Waving his hand, a wind spell was activated, and it cleared away the dark smoke. 

Wrath slowly walked over, a dissatisfied expression on his face. "How long do you plan to keep this up? Just running won't get you anywhere." He picked up a rock with his right hand, detonating it. 

"Of course I know that." Masayoshi said, as he straightened to stand up, looking down at his opponent. "If I wanted to win, then running like this would be more than a bit counterintuitive. I would never make any progress like that." He stated calmly, unwinding the chain around his index finger. Slowly, he began to swing it, round and round, building up speed. 

Wraths eyes widened a bit at the boy's statement. "If you wanted to win? Then that means, you have no plans to win?" 

Masayoshi simply shook his head. "Spot on." 

He then flicked the chain out, directly at Wrath, who ducked under it. 

The chain possessed enough destructive force to cut straight through the ground behind Wrath, and Masayoshi pulled it back to gain momentum, before launching it back at Wrath. 

Wrath however smoothly dodged the sharp tip of the chain, before grabbing it with his hands and using it to pull Masayoshi forward, and towards him.

Masayoshi, however, did not panic. Instead, he allowed the chain to unravel from his hand until it was almost completely off, making it loose. He then used the time it would take for the entirety of the long chain to be pulled taut, to activate the red spirit above his right index finger. 

A massive column of flame was launched at Wrath, who was forced to dodge, he let go of the chain, and Masayoshi quickly pulled it pack, rewrapping it around his finger. 

Wrath sneered at Masayoshi from across the burning hole that separated them. "You're a resourceful one, aren't you? I would commend you for that, but your last comment is still ticking me off. No plans to win?" 

Masayoshi simply nodded, as he began to unravel two chains on his left hand. The two spirits from his right hand traveled up to float just over his shoulders. "What's so hard to understand about that? Someone like you, who went up against a World-ender, and survived, is not an opponent that any student at this magic academy could handle, well except maybe Shindo." 

"I don't know what pisses me off more. The nonchalant attitude that you're putting up, or the fact that you're insulating I would lose to a child." 

Wrath stretched out his right arm, moving it around in circles to remove the stiffness. "Actually, I know what pisses me of the most about you. That pretentious attitude of yours. You think your so much better than me. Not only from your tone and your words, but your actions too. You've been holding back." 

Masayoshi raised his eyebrows at that accusation. "Holding back? It would be crazy to hold back in the situation I'm i-" 

"Cut the shit! This entire time you've so far only been using the orbs around your right hand. The green, red, blue, yellow, and orange. You haven't even bothered to make use of any of the ones on your left!" 

Masayoshi glanced down at his hands as Wrath pointed this fact out. It was true, he hadn't used any of the orbs on his left hand, only the ones on the right. 

That was because of his ability. Scales of Justice. The 10 orbs that surrounded Masayoshi were split into two sides. All of the orbs on his right hand, were the executioner orbs. All of the ones on his left hand, where apart of the benefactor side. 

Essentially, when Masayoshi looked at an enemy, he would sentence them, guilty or innocent. If they were marked guilty, then Masayoshi would use the book in his hands to cast a sort of debuff spell, that was so subtle you couldn't notice. The spell makes them significantly weaker to the execution orbs, which were just balls of mana loaded with a multitude of magic sequences of the element that they represented. 

If they were marked innocent, then he could use the orbs on his left side to buff and heal them. The left side did not work on himself, because as the judge, it was important that he remained impartial. Therefore, he could not judge himself. That was the reason he was not using any of the orbs on his left hand. 

He would never reveal this fact to his opponent though. The more that Wrath didn't know, and had to speculate, the better for Masayoshi, who was already at a disadvantage in this battle. 

"Alright you caught me." Masayoshi then flicked the two chains at Wrath. At the same time, the blue orb behind him launched out two birds of water, and the red orb launched out rapid fire bursts of flame bullets. 

Faced with multitude of attacks to react to, Wrath didn't even flinch as he ran towards them. Holding out his left hand, he used it to intercept one of the water birds, at the same time that he leaned back to dodge the first chain. 

Detonating it, he twisted his body to dodge the second one, also avoiding a few flaming bullets. He grabbed the second water bird, but just as he was about to detonate it, it disappeared on its own, revealing a hidden yellow orb. Wrath barely dodged the lightning that was fired from the orb, point blank. 

He was flipping backwards, and so he put his hands on the ground to try and change his direction, however at that moment, Masayoshi pulled the two chains Wrath had dodged previously back. 

One slashed his across the leg, and the other grabbed his arms. Masayoshi the pulled, using it to flip Wrath over, disorientating him completely. With Wrath stunned for a split second, he was unable to dodge the remaining flame bullets, which caught him in the chest. 

BOOM!

BOOM! 

BOOM! 

They detonated in quick succession, blowing Wrath backwards. However, the chain was stilled wrapped around his arms, and so Masayoshi used it to pull Wrath forward and towards him. Just as he did so, he cocked his right hand back for a punch, coating it with the red orb. 

Pulling Wrath directly in front of him with the chain, he then landed a nasty punch, directly to his face. 

Following through on his momentum, the punch blew Wrath back all the way towards the opposite wall. 

However, that was not the extent of Masayoshi's attack. Pouncing on the one opening he had created, he used the chain wrapped around Wraths arm to pull him away from the wall he was about to crash into, twirled him around a few times, and sent him flying, straight into glass wall of the main office. 

CRACKK! 

SMASSHHH! 

The sound of Wraths body hitting many objects could be heard, and Masayoshi pulled back his chains, turning to face where he had thrown his opponent. 

All of the attacks that had hit Wrath were with orbs or coated with the orbs power. Because of his ability, those blows would have dealt extra damage. 

"He definitely felt that one." Masayoshi whispered to himself. 

"Damn right I did, kid!" 

Masayoshi looked on in shock, as Wrath walked from out of the rubble. He had a cut on his leg, his face was bruised and had small cuts of glass on it, and the chest area of his shirt and coat were dark from where they had been burnt. There was a bit of blood trickling down his mouth. 

"I hate to admit it, but that was a nice one. You got me really good there. That punch, and those flame bullets, they hit way harder than normal." 

Wrath smiled crazily, and Masayoshi unraveled two chains. One on his right, one on his left. 

"You keep landing those, and you might actually win." 

Wrath dashed forward, and at the same time, Masayoshi flicked his two chains forward. They crossed each other, forming an x that was rapidly approaching Wrath. 

The latter jumped over the attack, gyrating his body midair to avoid the lightning attack that was launched at him. He then grabbed the two chains and pulled on them. Masayoshi repeated the same trick that he did last time to snake out of this move, however this time Wrath expected it. 

"However." 

He threw the chains behind him, before grabbing unto a point even farther ahead. He then pulled hard on that point, and the Chain became taut, causing Masayoshi to be pulled forward.

Catching Masayoshi with a mean right hook, followed by left, and then a knee to the stomach, Wrath kicked him away. 

"The way you fight-!" 

Just before Masayoshi smashed into the wall, Wrath pulled on the chain once again, pulling him forward. 

"Is much to orderly!" 

Grabbing Masayoshi's face with his right hand, he smashed his head into the ground with extreme

force, causing the ground to shake. 

"AHUGH!" 

Masayoshi coughed out blood. 

"This isn't a court room, you know? In real life, the battlefield is a place of chaos, not order! If you restrict all of your movements to something you know works, and don't take any risks." Wrath leaned in closer with a smile on his face. "You'll never be able to win!" 

Masayoshi looked up in horror. It was over. He was dead. Wrath would blow his head off-

At that moment something flew past over Wraths head. A pistol. Masayoshi watched it. 

In an instant, the pistol disappeared, transforming into a person. It was Yuri Hamani, defense force captain. 

Flying past while upside own, he had his other pistol pointed at Wrath. 

Wrath looked up, but much too late. 

He was caught dead in the face, by a massively powerful blast of mana.
