Nightken was looking around the guildhall for Conrad since it was time for him to take his exam to go up to C-rank and he had the exam set up just for this day. He finally found Conrad who was off at one of the back tables having his usual drink in the guildhall. "Conrad meet me at the Serene Cliffs its time for your exam." He said to him before he left he guildhall and went to the Serene Cliffs to wait for him to arrive. While waiting he was relaxing by smoking a magic cigarette while sitting on a tree stump.
Conrad grabbed his gear and left to the cliffs. He left Magnolia, traveling eastward through the forest. Having no extra means to move faster, he walked which took him sometime before he reached the cliffs. The sun began to lower toward the horizon as he finally reached the Serene Cliffs. Upon getting there, he observed a very impatient looking Nightken.
" You could of given me a ride, it would of made this a lot faster. " Conrad joked while setting down his gear.
" I'm ready for anything lets start this exam! " He blurted impatiently.
Conrad had arrived after a bit of complaining about not giving him a lift to the Serene Cliffs before he started getting annoyed of waiting for his exam. "Alright Conrad your exam is pretty simple just beat an advance training dummy to pass. This training dummy will be using your same exact magic and fighting style so you're basically fighting yourself here. Feel free to go wild that's the reason I picked this location so we don't get any complaints." Nightken said as he used his Cursed Seal to pull out a training dummy that was the same size as Conrad to make it as close to fighting himself as possible.

Conrad removed any unnecessary apparel he was carrying, and stepped up to the dummy. He inspected it with a keen eye as he circled the object pondering it's use.
"What the hell does he expect me to do with this." He said cursing out the name of his guild leader
He started to poke the training dummy when the arm began to shake. Before Conrad could remove his finger the strange doll whipped it's hand into a fierce grip around his hand. The dolls grip was strange it didn't feel strong but it didn't feel weak either. This was a first and strange sensation for him but the longer the odd object held onto him the more sense it made. The doll began to morph slowly changing it's aspects to match Conrad's features. The doll had now become him the only difference the the pitch black skin tone. The creature twisted Conrad's hand in a frighting attempt to break his arm from the elbow down, Conrad however being the monster comprised of reflexes that he was instantly flipped his body in the same direction landing on his feet. He couldn't reach for his weapon with out risk. The creature could launch a counter attack before the blade would touch it's dark exterior. However the throwing knifes were well within reach. Conrad let loose a volley of steel throwing daggers the creature released Conrad form it's grip and jumped back to avoid the projectiles. Conrad wasted no time, he reached for his sword and leaped at his target with ferocious might.

The copy grabbed the back of it's head when a mirror version of his blade appeared. The two weapons meet and the sound of steel colliding echoed through out the serene cliffs. They continued their brutal assault trading blow for blow, each new attack more powerful than the last. The creature proving to be more than a challenge, it was beginning to wear him down.
"God damn you fake Conrad, You don't look tired at all. Need something simpler to call you." He thought out loud.
The creature Swung it's blade and Conrad dodged it by a hairs breadth
"Fonrad that's what I'll call you. Don't you talk?" The creature replied with a vicious assault.
"Guess that's a no." He said as he started to get his second wind. "Let's see how you handle this."
Conrad's Sword was coated in brilliant white flames at the exact moment the doll's weapon was surrounded by a chain of crystal white Ice. Conrad thought he was starting to figure this doll out, but he still felt unsure of a few things, and was about to test them out. The two charge each other moving even faster than before when the blades slammed into the blades mithril steel began to scream as radiant stacks of steam shot off in every direction. The combat continued to intensify, Fonrad's blade whipped through the air in a full circle, attempting to cut Conrad's gut open. Conrad flipped his blade horizontally and blocked the attack, but the copy's swing continued full rotation this time aiming for his feet.

To block the attack Conrad dropped his blade into the ground, the twin blades meet as it volleyed off another round of steam the creature leap through the plows of steam and head butted Conrad in the face. He tilted back wards recoiling from the blow when he suddenly lost his footing. The constant release of steam had coated the stone in a thick layer of condensation. He started to fall back when the copy jumped into the air with his blade ready pierce his torso. Conrad reacted instantly by using his sword to change the direction of his fall. He hit the ground not take too much damage he kicked out the back fakes legs and tried to cleave him in half. It rolled to the side and jumped back up the same time Conrad regained his footing. Conrad waved his hand as a large chunk of earth raised from the ground just in front of the dark clone, and cut the through the wall at it's base as the weapons flames dissipated. The entire section of the cliff began to fall when Conrad finished it off with a spinning back kick. The cliff toppled over falling violently into the deep ravine, chunks of earth broke off as the fearsome noise reverberated of the cliff's walls.
"Damn not good enough." The replica was charging at him mid air. "Should of known I'd use my Air Walk magic too."
The creature launched it's assault at conrad's face the blade was inches from his neck when it burst into red hot flames.

Conrad leaned back far enough to avoid the attack when he kicked up his feet and spun in a horizontal manner with the edge of his blade facing Fonrad's throat. The creature panicked it quickly pulled out a large wall of earth to push him out of harms way. The stone was raised in a diagonal manner just below his feet. The fake used as a step to jump away from Conrad.
"Oh no you don't." Conrad ceased his spin and grabbed the clone ankle
"Your not going any where." He said tightening his grip.
He slammed the replicant's face first into the ground. Bits of stone and blood back lashed on impact. The replica didn't so much as wince at the pain as it kicked itself free. Conrad jumped into the air and cut at the dodging creatures legs. It rolled on its back when it felt the heat of Conrad's blade pierce its knee cap. It attempt to cut the blade when Conrad sliced the fake's sword clean in half while cleaving a good portion of his leg off. Conrad followed up his attack by stabbing in his other knee. Then continued to savagely punch the creatures face. The creature blocked the first few when all of the sudden it couldn't predict what Conrad's next attack was. The randomness of his attacks and the frequency were to great.
"You can copy my skills but not the weapon. That's the first reason you lose this fight. I'm guessing that you can copy a persons magic well enough but something goes wrong when you try to copy it. It all go screwy so to say." Conrad grinned.

The creature tried to escape, It reached for the blade, but Conrad noticed, he jabbed his foot against the dolls neck.
"The second was that you let the fight draw on for to long." He pulled the blade out from it's knee and let it go. "Go ahead heal yourself." The creature didn't wait it repaired the holes in it's leg with healing water. Conrad positioned him self as he put away his weapon.
"You cant win now." He laughed.
Fonrad attack in a series of punches as Conrad countered them all. The fake through three rapid punches to Conrad's stomach, he effortlessly evaded them and tripped Fonrad on it's faced again the creature attacked while it was prone trying to kick him of his feet. Conrad lifted his foot and stomped on the creature's foot. Conrad picked up the creature by it's legs and flung it into the air.
"You see your biggest downfall of them all was that the me of 6 hours ago could never win against the me that is now."
Then with those final words Conrad cleaved the creature in two. The magic faded from the doll and returned to i'ts basic format.
"Crap was I supposed to brake it? Nightken? You here? Your watching from some where right?.......NIGHTKEN!!!!!!" He looked around
"That son of a b..... This doesn't help with my abandonment issues at all." He picked up his gear and faced a random direction.
"Now witch way leads back to Magnolia?" he said with a great deal of annoyance in his voice.

Once the combat started to get heated Nightken watched the fight from above by just floating through his electrical generation. "Pretty impressive countering it by making his attacks erratic. Conrad you pass I'll see you back at the guild." He said aloud before yelling down to Conrad about his exam result.
