Training [Bendytimed a week later - Open]

Negi peeled the last of his bandages away as he stood in the park area surrounding the city center. "Looks like I'm all healed up Chamo-kun," said Negi as he started to stretch.

"Yeah, you really took it to yourself this time aniki," said Chamo as he finished marking out a circle on the ground, one that had Negi blinking.

"What's that for?" inquired Negi. "I'm not kissing anyone today."

"Insurance aniki! What if a beautiful girl comes along and you just have to kiss her?" Chamo grinned lecherously as Negi facepalmed. "Besides, every time you step out of that bus, you have a good chance of making an artifact."

"I know I know." said Negi as he pulled out his own card. "Adeat!"

In a flash of light, his card case appeared as he pulled out the roster of cards and flipped through them. "I'm going to familiarize myself with these things," said Negi. "Last time I didn't rely on them as much. This time I want to be ready."

Spinning a card around, he slotted it into the top and proclaimed, "Ruyi Jingu Bang!" Spinning the case around it lengthened into a wooden bow with two metal caps on either end. Testing the weight, he began to start a slow kung fu kata, incorporating spear fighting into the motions. So caught up in his workout, he wouldn't notice anyone else coming in to see him.

"EXTEND!" And the pole extended out, striking a tree. "Now grow!" And said tree got smushed. "Whoops."

At that point, Vivio had been busy wandering around, starting to feel a bit better from her injuries. Curiosity had hit her and she was wanting to see what was around. Making her way to the park, she noticed Negi practicing with a staff of some sort... and crush a tree.

She winced as she watched the tree get smushed in the process. "Negi, you need to watch out...!" she called out.

"Return," commanded Negi as the staff collapsed back into the smaller mode. "Ah, yeah. I didn't expect it to get so big..."

He smiled at Vivio as he leaned on the staff. "You look better though! Feeling better I hope?"

Vivio giggled a bit as Negi admitted that bit about the staff. "It's alright, though you should know what you have a bit more..."

She moved her arm slightly, a wince visible on her face. "A little. My arm and side still hurt, but not as bad as before. You look a whole lot better, though, yourself!"

"I still ache like the dickens," said Negi. "But a little workout will loosen the muscles. I went through a ritual to get the corruption drained out of me and I feel great. If store."

He dismissed the weapon, pulling the card out of the top of the billfold.

"That's good, at least. I think once everything heals, I should retrain a bit to get me back into the swing of things. Don't want to get lazy because I got hurt!" Vivio said, chuckling.

"...though you sure you're okay? If you're still sore, you should have rested a bit more."

"Any more time spent in bed and I would have gone stir crazy," admitted Negi.

"Aniki's a lousy patient," added Chamo as he tapped out his cigarette. Damn he was already running low in this pack?

"Chamo-kun seriously," sighed Negi. "But yeah, I'm fine just sore. I wanted to test out some of my artifacts."

Spinning a card into it, he summoned Asuna's sword and lifted it, testing the heft. It was a little different when he used it as an adult that was for sure.

Vivio blinked as she watched the sword appear out of nowhere. That was certainly new.

"Wow... I didn't know you could do that, Negi!" Vivio said.

"Hmm? Oh yeah I can," said Negi with a blush. "My artifact allows me to use the artifacts of the other people that I've made a pact with. This is the very first one, Asuna-san's sword. It's an anti-magic weapon that can negate magic items, weapons and attacks, cutting through them like butter and stopping big attack spells altogether. Asuna-san once used it to defend against an anti-army attack spell, Thousand Bolts."

"Wow... so, there's actually weapons that can negate magic by itself?" Vivio said. "Where I'm from, that sort of thing that's done through technology, not magic itself."

"Asuna-san's special," said Negi, thinking of her fondly. "She was born with the ability to completely nullify magic. I have a hard time trying to fight her because she's so powerful."

A little too powerful as Negi realized. She was the Imperial Twilight Princess, the girl who had the power to create entire worlds and bring them to ruin. "I do miss her. And everyone else too."

He hefted the sword, looking at it. "It's a strong weapon though, not just against magic. Wanna hold it?"

"Ah... sure!" Vivio said, extending her hands out to take hold of it. As she did, Sacred Heart looked on, a bit worried.

The sword looked alright in Vivio's hands, and it didn't react badly to her which was a plus. "It's a little big isn't it?" said Negi. "I don't know how Asuna-san wields it; she's shorter than I am when I'm in adult form."

"It's about as tall as anesan is," said Chamo, nodding. He too had been worried the sword wouldn't like Vivio, but it seemed that it wasn't complaining about trading hands. "Too heavy or alright?"

Vivio nodded as she held on to the sword. Despite her injuries and the size of the sword, it was holding pretty well in her hands.

"It's big... though, I'm surprised she could wield it myself. It's a bit... cumbersome." Vivio said, examining the blade. "You wouldn't think something like this would be used for fighting..."
