Dark Veil 2

I'm no good with weapons... Should I take something anyway, and train with it...? I wonder, standing by the doorway as everyone else chooses weapons.
 
"Hmm." I say quietly, and pick out a smooth slim staff. I can feel it's power beneath my hands, and smile. "I thinkI'll be a fire mage. Was I something different before?"
 
I hug my scythe like a teddy bear. "I can't believe it's still here." I laugh.
"This is why people think you are a psychopath." I mutter as I facepalm.
 
"Has everyone picked their weapons? I'd like to show you the training room next."
 
As I'm just about to leave the room without any weapons, I spot a navy blue staff from the corner of my eye. It has a blue orb at the end, and I instantly know it belonged to Misa. I don't really need a staff, but I snatch it up anyway and rush out of the weapons room to examine it.
 
I had an enchanted staff. It was completely white, and I could use it for ice or wind at any time I wanted to.
 
"The majority of us know where the training room is." I say to the old Dark Veilers. "We can show you the way."
 
Misa's staff is pretty beat up, and looks as if someone has tried to badly repair it after it has been snapped or crushed or something like that. I grip it tightly, and hold back the tears threatening to escape my eyes. Everyone seems to be about to head to the training room, so I follow the people who know where they're going.
 
"I know where it is too." I enter the training room. "First challenge: I know you've been through this, but this is required of all generations of Dark Veilers. 100 dummies. 1 minute. All collaborative. Fake projectiles will spawn from the walls. That's where healers come in." I look up from the paper. "Well...I'm not going to be helping on this one. So, uh, just head past those doors, and I'll start the clock. Oh...and also, if you all succeed, you all get 50 dollar Burger Queen gift cards...try your hardest, the trial starts...now."
 
"Go! Traditional formation!" I scream to the others, me going first. I slice, shooting, and dodge a projectile.
 
Me and James high five and grab each other's hand. "Ready."
"Ready." I smirk as we let go and we kick open the doors at the same time. "Come and get some!"
 
Oh god.
I stand in front of a huge line of dummies, not sure wether to start or not. I concentrate with the staff, and shoot out a fireball. This is what Misa taught me. Oh Misa.. Memories come back of my dead friend, and the anger that she died helps me force my way through the dummies.

I see Cindra destroy an entire line of dummies with a fireball. That's a third of the dummies, with the fourth I just destroyed, and the other third Alex and James are working on... we should only have about 20 dummies left. A projectile comes my way, and I catch it with my dagger, spinning it around to damage 4 dummies. I then aim the projectile to the roof, and run out of the way, shooting and stabbing.
 
The trial is thrown upon us quite suddenly, and everyone starts hacking away at the dummies. I start to hurl the dummies closest to me at the wall, and the heads snap off.
 
I concentrate, and burn all the dummy's heads off in one go. I stand panting at the end, sweat beaded on my forehead. "That..was tiring."
