François jerked his head away, dodging the jaw shot, but he knew the other punch would connect, so he gathered what mental power he could to create a large, dense shield over his stomach, hoping it would at least slow the punch down...

the punch broke through the shield like a knife through rice paper..andrew wouldn't pull punches against a senior, especially in a test this important..the electric shock was minor, as he had only been using it to protect his hands from being cut by the knives, it did however send françois flying....andrew knew this student would need to keep fighting after this punch if he wanted to make it..
*40...39...*

Having anticipated this exact situation, françois instantly formed the shattered remnants of his shield into a soft, cushioning blob to catch him and lower him back to the ground. His gut still stinging from the shock, he took a fighting stance, and readied himself mentally for his next move...

andrew didnt waste time..he knew françois well, both as a student and a fighter..he knew what to do in order to push the boy to his limits..he stopped his melee approach and started blasting powerful bolts of lightning at françois from a distance..

His preparation complete, françois smiled once more, then launched himself into the air with two huge pillars, flipping acrobatically through the space in between himself and the teacher. He dodged the lightning blasts, though a few came VERY close, swung on a created trapeze bar, and fell gracefully and quickly toward Andrew, knives in hand, preparing to smash down on top of him...

*he has a strong will, to be able to perform these kinds of tricks...he'll need to have one for the mission ahead* andrew thought as he dropped the shoulder and rammed françois while he was still in mid-air, and started to lightning fry him while he rolled along the ground..
*22...21...*

"Oh shit... That hurts like hell... I wonder how much time I have left..." François quickly speculated this as he rolled and fryed, he hadn't ever even started counting at the beginning. Forfeiting size for speed and quantity, he formed a couple dozen small arrows to shoot at Andrews hands, if only to distract him for a moment.

((edit 😮))
*20...19...*
andrew blinked, mildly surprised at the arrows..he used a bit more of his speed and swatted them all, slightly distracted by their appearance..

Using even that momentary lapse in concentration to his advantage, françois leapt to his feet, creating dozens more arrows around him, as they are quite small, and require little concentration to create. While continuously firing them off, he also created a paper thin wall in front of himself to mask his body with the distortion it caused...

*what the?* andrew asked himself as used used a combination of teleportation blocking with his arms to avoid the arrows..he leaped towards the wall, breaking through it, hoping françois didnt finish his 'plan' in time...

François was amazed that his teacher had played directly into his hands... He had purposefully altered the appearance of the wall, making Andrew's side much much more distorted than his own. He had carefully followed the teacher's movements, and created a long blade to hold at the ready. The moment Andrew burst through, françois stabbed violently towards him from point-blank range...

andrew was amazed that his student had played directly into his hands... using his powers of energy detection he had guessed what was coming, and countered the blade - with two of his own, made of electrical energy..these blades would not cut, but would instead deliver one hell of a shock and send the poor foe flying..andrew drove françois back with his electric blades, once again regaining the advantage his student never really had at all..
*12...11...*

Completely surprised, François had let his guard down, and, consequently, was sent flying (again) by the shock. This time, at least, he knew what to expect, and immediately recreated the cushioning blob, stopping much closer this time. "I hope this is almost over, I don't know if I can take another shock like that..." Twitching slightly, he managed to stand up and start walking toward Andrew again...

*10...9....8...*
andrew smiled..it was almost over...françois only had to survive a few more seconds..andrew rushed fowards and delivered some straight h2h attacks, hoping to push françois for just a bit longer..
*5...4...*

The usually everpresent smile reappeared on the frenchman's face, and one last adrenaline rush kept him going. Mostly fruitlessly, because he knew the teacher could break through them like they were nothing, he tried to enhance his blows and blocks with shields and pads on his arms...

andrew kept françois going until the very end
*3...2...1...0*
the instant the clocked ticked over a minute andrew broke through françois' defences and lightning fried him at point blank range..after establishing his victory, andrew helped françois up..."you did very well, even better than liam - dont tell him that by the way - needless to say, you're in, françois..congrats.."

Still smiling slightly, françois coughed a few times, dusted off the ash his shirt had turned into, and thanked the teacher, remarking that he doubted himself greatly at several points during the battle...

"everyone has doubts, françois..but you held yourself together, and not many can say that when they fight me, if i do say so myself" andrew replied, teleporting them back to the cafeteria..
"this is françois, one of the seniors..he just past his test.." he told the others..

"longest....minute....ever!" liam complained as they reappeared..
"ill say" leon said.."well, i guess welcome to the party, françois.."

François was quite a sight, his shirt half burnt off, more burns all over his arms and chest, several bruises and a long scratch down his cheek... He coughed a couple more times, and said "thanks" to Liam.

Hunter decided he didnt want to just sit around. He thought about the way Lance pinned him to the wall and how all the other students didnt respect him. He wanted to put fear into them everytime they saw him. "Sam, and horse im going to train for a bit...."

Hunter ran to the clearing in the forest. He worked on his new technique wanting to enhace his dark aura lightning. Hunter did the move on his right hand and with the other hand made a dark aura ball, the size of a baseball. Hunter slowly brought his Dark Matter Lightning(i changed the name) to his left hand. When they touched it created a sound as if a teacher was scratching her nails on an board. The aura orb was surrounded by the Dark Matter Lightning. Hunter looked up at an old tree. He threw the Dark Matter Lightning Orb at an old thick tree. The throw wasnt that fast but when it hit the tree it engulfed the tree in Dark Matter Electricity making the tree wither into the size of a skinny branch and wither away. Hunter smiled with satisfaction. He continued to work on it to make faster and stronger.
