《Tales Of The Dark Mage: New Moon| Part I》Chapter 71: His Arrogance
Advertisement
Sora: Get going, shorty! I laughed. Sophia: Oi! Don’t you start! She poked at my chest and flew over to Benson. Artoria: She seems like a handful. Sora: You have no idea. Brok, is there something you wanted? Brok: Yeah, how are you liking the new Homura?
Sora: Homura, come to me. I reached out my hand, Homura and its scabbard came out of the snow, flew into my hand.
Brok: So? Sora: She’s even more beautiful. And she’s even lighter than before! I think Homura only weighed three pounds before. Brok: I changed, the handle and the scabbard, as well how the blade was balanced. Sora: So, that shaved little bit of its weight.
Brok: And for the main course. It took me two years, to figure out how to alter the blade itself. Nothing I was doing, was working. I went to find new minerals, old minerals, even from Estella, and Nyah! Sora: Nyah? Edwin: He means, Grimja. Ali: You mean Elios? That’s what some of the locals call it. Sora: I’m lost? Jakari: Whenever are you not lost?! Galawnee: Still taking shots, after the truth was revealed, that’s rough, Sora.
Artoria: Sora, they mean Rala. Sora: Oh! Rala! Artoria: It seems your knowledge is still incomplete. Not up to the standard, I set for you. And especially all the time you spent with Zea. Sora: Wait, you know about Zea?! Brok: We all do! She was the one to help me, gathered the right material to fix up Homura. Sora: She knew about my sacred treasures, and she didn’t tell me!? Jakari: Like she foresaw. Now it makes sense. The way she said it was so cryptic. And I quote “A particular event will happen, in the snow of sins, and that’s in the face of all of your inquiries will be resolve.”
Ali: Didn’t know you went through that, at such a young age. It’s a good thing, Rin, kept us in the dark, I know I don’t speak for all of us, but... Jakari: And you don’t. Ali: What I’m trying to say. Ali got up, and put his bottle of whiskey down, and went to me, and began whispering in my ear.
Ali: I noticed something when leaving out of the barrier. That super computer was trying to listen in, but it couldn’t, it was running a diagnostic test for its audio. It was playing back, what your friend Peyton said. Then it stops at, you didn’t kill anyone until Rowan Academy. Sora: I see. Ali: Edwin, thinks that the... computer doesn’t record audio until it hears a trigger word. Sora: Precautions.

Ali: Edwin and I agree on this, the audio recording range has a limited range. It can pick up the loud stuff. But it’s kind of difficult for it to pick up audio, when it’s not by the exit. Edwin, did some testings', we found out the computer can’t hear you, unless you’re yelling to the top of your lungs. Sora: That’s truly fascinating. Ali: One more thing, during Galawnee’s little rage out moment for booze, destroyed a wiretap, hidden in plain site. Jakari, was checking the entire place for wiretaps and cams, but none were found. I even double-checked her work, and all of us recently began checking on the roof and porch, but none were found.
Sora: Good. But it might be chance that the computer still can record our conversation. Ali: As long you don’t scream out bloody murder, then it’s straight. But most likely it still records video, so it’s not totally clear. If it can zoom in all the way and see our mouths. It only takes a good lip-reader, so if you’re saying something very sensitive, put your hand over your mouth. But don’t be suspicious with it. Use magic if you have to but don’t draw attention. Sora: Affirmative. Ali stepped away and sat right back down. Benson: Alright, everyone bring it in! Sora, can you hear me from up there!?
Sora: Oui! The Twilight Tigers all huddled around Benson. Benson: Let's forget what transpired. And remember why we’re here in the cold. We here to train. And practice as a team. We have a game in two days going against the Serpents. They’re a top ten team in defense with four or more members on the field, I think their number nine. Valdis: Number eight actually. Benson: Oh, really? Valdis: They just got bumped up, thirty minutes ago.
Benson: Regardless, they’re good on defense. Sophia, what is the best way to break up a defense? Sophia: The best way is to break up the defense is by splitting them up, and isolate them into one on one situations. Benson: Justin, what’s the best way to break up a defense? Justin ponders for a moment. Justin: The best way break up a defense is to attack the weakest point. What I mean is you go after the weakest link. Benson: What if there’s no weak link? Justin scratches his and folded his arms, and looks up for an answer.
Justin: If they’re all equal in skill. You put pressure on them by blitzing them with our entire team. Benson: Um… I see. What happens if we don’t have the right personnel for a blitz? Justin: Then we try to bait them out of their formation, but if they’re disciplined. They won’t do that, especially if we don’t have the right personnel. Then we go into a defensive formation ourselves and for them to attack us. Once they attack, we can hurry and turn the tables on them.

Benson: Typical. But logical. Deshon, what’s the best way to attack a strong defense? Deshon: Easy. Stand back let me do all the work. I break the defense, I'm the only thing you need, I wasn't sweating most of the games anyway, just disregard them, I'm the fucking best! Justin: How can you be so arrogant?! When you keep getting your ass whooped!?
Deshon: I let them win, it’s simply beneath me. And I’m simply the best at breaking defenses. Artoria: Don’t even entertain that foolishness. Ali: That guy loves to run his mouth. Usually when a mage get thrashed like they did yesterday. They usually become humble after the experience. Sora: You know about yesterday?
Galawnee: Yeah, Finn showed us all of the fights yesterday. It was entertaining. Jakari: Entertaining? Far from it. I was hoping that warlock fought, Sora. Sora: Fight me? Wyatt wins. I can’t go against a warlock. But it would be fun, to see how I stack up with people from Eden. Jakari: If you max out, you have a chance to beat a warlock. Ali: I do miss Eden, the women are quite intelligent and have decent personalities. Benson: Sora, do I have your attention!? Sora: Affirmative! Benson: What’s the best way to attack a strong defense? Sora: Me. Deshon: And people call me arrogant! Stop the cap! Sora: No defense in this world, that will hold up against me!
Deshon: Stop the cap! Justin: At least he can back it up. Deshon: I know, I can back it up. I’ll take all of ya’ll niggas on, with no diff! Sora: I loathed arrogance with nothing to back it up. Deshon: I got a spell, that can defeat all of you clowns! Don’t try a real nigga like me! King Kong ain’t got shit on me! Sora: What is this spell!? I am curious. Artoria: Do not stoop to his level. Ignore his heckling. Sora: If you say so.
Deshon: Hey, nigga! Are you giving up!? I told you weren’t a real nigga! All talk no bite! Benson: Where was that courage, a moment ago? Deshon: What are you talking about coach!? Justin: V, throw another snowball at him! Valencia: Roger. V, gathered multiple snowballs, and started launching them at Deshon’s face. Justin: You chilled out? Deshon: Fuck you!
Galawnee: That clown is making me lose my buzz. Brok: Pisspot! We’re going to need a lot more booze. That stupid bird of yours is giving me a fucking headache. Edwin: I’m thinking we put some duct tape over his mouth. Galawnee: How about one of us rip off his jaw? Brok: Then he would be more annoying, trying to talk. Jakari: Rip out his tongue. Ali: Stitch his lips together. Artoria: Just ignore him. He’s harmless. Sora: But he endangers the people around him with his foolishness. Peyton: Sora, how about you answer the question! You’re encouraging this behavior! Sora: How is it my fault?! Peyton: Just saying yourself isn’t an answer!
Sora: Put up a barrier or shield, you guys can go in a formation, I’ll get you to move! Deshon: You can’t break this! Water Magic: Giant Water Dome! Deshon summoned his golden gauntlets and slammed down his fists to the snow and surrounded himself with seven foot sized clear water dome. He then started grinning and finger wagging at me. Artoria: Don’t entertain this. Brok: Give the that shit bird the attention that he wants!
Sora: Homura, deal with it. Flames ignited around Homura and flew out of my hand, went straight for Deshon, Homura vaporize the dome as it entered and stabbed Deshon's foot and Homura flew back at my hand. Justin: You're ass! You're ass! You're ass! Deshon: Shut the fuck up, I let that shit happen!
Proving the clown wrong again. Calling him clown is disrespectful to clowns, he more like the dodo bird. Just plain on stupid, doesn't recognize predators.
Sora: See, I didn't entertain it. Galawnee, tried to sucker punch me, but I caught her fist without even looking at her. Galawnee: Nice. Sora: I was kind of expecting it earlier. Jakari: Do better next time! Galawnee: I will. Galawnee sat right back down with the others. I walked over to Artoria and tried strike her neck, but she stopped my blade with her index finger with her eyes closed. Artoria: You're not ready for my level yet.
