Kieran's Point Of View
I came mainly to watch the tournament, I thought it would be boring however what would be more boring would be waiting in the academy, seeing Clark Teta in the tournament made me regret not entering, however seeing Clark beaten made me really regret not entering, Origami huh? he looks interesting, his strategies may appear just to be cheep tricks however he moves with all his strength, jumping around like he does is not done easy and requires immense physical control not to kick of the ground to hard and miss your next target and not to soft to fall short. he uses his abilities in an interesting way and I think I can get a bit of fun out of him, if not I will just fight Clark again.
I run over to see him fighting off most the members of the academy and a few other people after his 500 gold worth head, well... after what he did it will be worth a lot more then that. I see him jump on a paper plane and look back at the people he left in the dust. "That was close" Origami mumbled to himself with a smile.
"You have no idea" I said reassuringly, if he was any faster I may have missed his paper plane. I smiled and he turned around. he looked like John with a paper mask on, but he could also change a lot with his paper so I paid no heed to it. he smiled at me.
"ahh, the monster of the 3 Fists Academy shows his face at last" Origami said with a smile, he is not insulting me either, I am referred to by anyone and everyone by the monster of the 3 Fists Academy except for my friends... and John... however he looked calm, does he think I will let him escape?
"So, do you want to fight up here, down on the ground, or do you think you can escape from me?" I asked and he smiled while he summoned around 1000 paper planes, all the planes were 3 meters long, he then jumped up a few and I followed him, he then created multiple clones that were jumping around as well and shooting Paper Bullets at me, I evaded them, I had seen that taking his hits was not a good idea when it passed straight through a dragon wing. I lost him amongst the paper clones, my senses really are horrible. I looked around while avoiding the Paper Bullets with ease and saw 4 Clones with Paper Swords charging at me. after punching all 4 of them into shreds of paper I noticed that non of the clones reacted. he has either seen me fight, expected this much, or is not amongst the paper clones I could see, wait a minuet. I kicked the paper plane I was on causing Origami to get out from under it.

"You have some guts trying to grind me down with paper while you hide right beneath me" I said as I landed on another plane, this time when I landed the plane crumpled under me and fell, I started jumping from plane to plane unable to stay on one for longer then a second, I charged at Origami, he smiled and charged back, I went to punch him however he exploded into paper... that one was a clone to? I look around and the paper planes start to fly around in a circle instead of away for an escape, he wants to fight me to? "no, I was wrong, you have guts to spare for being the first person in my entire life to dare challenge me like this" I said getting exited, his paper planes were flying over a pool of lava, he took us to the Dragon Continent.
"I appreciate the compliment, you are perhaps the only person I cant beat with your power over the Super Burst. however I doubt you would need that to beat me, however it is not if you can beat me, it is if you can catch me isn't it?" Origami asked me with all his clones. ha. I will catch you eventually.
"Bring It" I said while kicking the paper plane I was on and sure enough he was under it, I kicked him and found it was just a clone, I looked around and now there were clones standing on both sides of the planes not affected by gravity? they start throwing Paper Bullets at me, I avoid them but this is still getting interesting. I would love to know how he can just stand on the ceiling as it looks awesome. I then felt a paper spear go straight through me from behind. I turn to see another circle of Paper Planes behind me all of them had an Origami on and they were all throwing spears with a smile on their face, Interesting, I jump over to them to check if any of them is the real Origami, however sure enough after killing each and every single one while Ignoring the spears, I found out that non of them is the real one. wait so where is he, I jump around each Paper Plane and then I hear him.
"You were a good fight but it is time to end this" Origami said from above me with a serious tone, I looked up and saw what looked to be a moon made of Paper above his head. it was the size of a city. I looked up with joy, he was going to throw that at me, I was going to catch it, and he would get away while I did, I am going to reduce it to shreds of paper in one punch and then I with charge at you with a knock out punch to take you in, and if I punch to hard and kill you then to bad. he then threw the Paper ball at a near by city.

"DAMN YOU" I shouted while I dashed over to the ball, it was moving to fast, I entered burst and got in front of it to throw a kick, that paper ball was only 1 layer thick, I tore through it with ease, it would not have hurt anyone, it was just that it looked like it could and now he was one of the countless Paper Planes with an Origami on them flying off in every direction. damn it. but why did he not just throw an actual big ball of paper, is it because he isn't strong enough? or maybe... hmm, I don't know, thinking hurts my brain, I will just go and ask Conner like I usually do.
John's Point Of View
HOW DID THAT WORK? I thought I was going to die, not one moment when he was there did anything else except I am going to die was going through my head. I think I can feel my heart beating out of my chest, I have never been more scared in my life, Conner, the mission reward, it is not enough if I have to deal with him, I was lucky I could escape.
"I finally did it" I said to my self... what is that ungodly presence behind me?
"SUPER BURST" Kieran shouted at the top of his voice, and then vanished and repapered right next to me with a smile, "I almost could not tell witch one was you but I then saw this one acting all exhausted. nice try at escaping but you failed at the last hurdle" Kieran said to me in super burst standing right behind me.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, I AM GOING TO DIE. I AM SO DEAD, I AM GOING TO DIE AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, HE IS GOING T...*Cough* *Cough* positive thoughts, maybe I can find a way out of this. when it comes to worming my way out of things I am the king. I look around and make a bunch more Paper Planes, going right into the sky and to the ground.
"I think we will need a bigger battle ground if you are going to use that" I said with a confident smile, all the confidence I could muster however it was confident non the less, he smiled and got ready, then I exploded EVERYTHING with paper blinding him for just long enough to hide amongst my clones. I just had to out last Super Burst.... I AM SO GOING TO DIE!!!
"Interesting, and now we are back to square one, is this all you have" Kieran smiled and for some reason I felt some knowledge enter my head. I am not sure why but I feel as though I can win now.
"No, I have only just begun" I said as all my paper came back to me. I made a Paper Dragon. I combined my knowledge of dragons to my knowledge of paper and did it. He was just smiling like he had found a new toy to play with. damn that monster, however the dragon is only a distraction, it looks like a dragon, it feels like a dragon, but it is not a dragon, I am digging through the ground, I made that thing as durable and regenerating as possible, so he may survive one hit? oh well, I was already long gone so I did not know the result....
Kieran's Point Of View
where did he go? WHERE DID HE GO? damn it, I got exited because it looked like a dragon and stopped paying attention to things like his location and if it was an actual dragon. wait I am in the dragon continent, I may as well have some fun before I go back, right? he he he.
