TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Having finished up their first two days going around the city and castle, it had now come to third day of Marcus’ and his friends’ vacation.

Though now that it was the third day, the event that Mrazivy and Quilon had been looking forward to the most had arrived.

Both of them really wanted to fight against Marcus again, each for their own reasons.

Mrazivy wanted to show off just how much stronger she had become, and to prove, mostly to herself, that she was worthy to stand at the same level as Marcus.

While Quillon wanted more to see how much stronger Marcus had become since their climatic battle in the kingdom’s tournament. and once again have the thrill of facing off against an equal opponent._.

However, they had not anticipated that there would be another person joining them, and the one-on-one match they had been expecting had turned into a two on two.

Lyra had decided that she wanted in on this as well, and Marcus not wanting to have to fight against three people in succession, suggested that they start with a doubles battle so that they could all test out their powers at once.

Luckily everyone agreed, and after that they drew lots to decide on who would be paired with who, and it ended up with Marcus and Lyra on one team, and Quillon and Mrazivy on the other.

Now they were in the middle of a strategy meeting discussing plans and trying to coordinate their abilities.

“So, we both know pretty well what Mraz can do, but you need to know that Quillon is no less of a threat. He has a bunch of attack skills that his master developed, and each one is very powerful.” Marcus said to Lyra, making sure she did not take Quillon lightly.

He then filled her in on the attacks he had experienced firsthand during their match, and even about Quillon’s supreme skill that allowed him to unleash stupid strong attacks, some of which had unusual effects.

“Sounds like he is going to be a lot of trouble to deal with. But how do you want to approach this? Do we try and separate them and fight one on one, or do you want to work together and focus on taking one of them down?” Lyra said, wondering what Marcus wanted to do.

She was trusting him with the plan since he had an infinite amount more experience fighting both of them over her. Mainly because she had never fought either of them.

“No, we should avoid fighting them in two one on one fights. That would kind of defeat the purpose of this exchange, but I also think that we would probably lose. However, if we work together, I think that our powers mesh a lot better than theirs. Quillon has practically no support abilities as far as I saw during our fight, so all he has is his incredible strength and skill. As for Mraz, her ice magic and other powers can easily affect those around her including her allies. On the other hand, your illusion magic and my iron and light magic especially can work well in tandem. So, here is what our strategy is going to be.”

Both Marcus and Lyra continued to make elaborate strategies for how to deal with their opponents. While on the other side both Quillon and Mrazivy were arguing.

“No, I will take Irene on first while you keep Lyra busy. After you beat her, I will let you take on Irene. If I have not already won.” Mrazivy said, being obstinate in her desire to fight Marcus.

However, Quillon was no different, and said, “No I should be the one to fight Irene while you take on Lyra. I already agreed that I would not use Aerial since Irene is not going to use her soul burst, and without her I do not have much of a way to deal with illusions. Anyway, you said that you could see through most illusions with your dragon eyes, so it makes more sense for you to fight her.”

Groaning, Mrazivy said, “Yeah, I did say that, but that is only in case of illusions she creates that everyone can see. She has some that target only one person and make them see things inside their head. Even I cannot deal with those if they hit. You already told me you have a resistance skill to mental attacks so you should fight her. I promise I will glance over every now and then and tell you what is real and what is fake. Also, you just like fighting strong people, therefore Lyra should be fine. She is really powerful herself and nearly equal to me when she goes all out”

Shaking his head, Quillon said, “This is a matter of pride for me. I barely won last time, and that was only because my weapon was vastly superior. Now that Irene has a weapon that is a closer match to mine, we can really tell which one of us is stronger.”

As time went on, Marcus and Lyra came up with plan after plan and a half dozen strategies, while Mrazivy and Quillon bickered until the end on which one of them would fight Marcus first.

In the end, they never came to a decision, and as they entered the castle’s high level training ground that they had reserved, they looked more like they getting ready to fight each other rather than Marcus and Lyra.

“I wonder what that is all about?” Lyra said, seeing the way they were glaring at each other.

Shrugging his shoulders, Marcus responded saying, “Hell if I know. Quillon is not much of a team player so maybe Mraz got fed up with trying to incorporate him into a strategy he would not follow?”

Though while he was sort of right, the real reason was that the two of them were just too strong willed to give into the other’s ideas, especially when they were so skewed in their objectives.
