74 The Battle Festival.(10)

The people supporting the B-rank bender had a bit of gloomy expression on their faces. The person they were supporting lost...at least, he got up to two points before losing.

The F-rank bender had a wide grin on his face, he had emerged as winner, he was glad. The B-rank bender stood up from the ground with a kind of expression on his face...like a disappointed one.

The overseer stepped foot into the field, strolled toward the F-rank bender, held his right hand, raised it, then voiced out,

"We have our winner here".

The people supporting the F-rank bender cheered loudly, and the grin on his face widened the more. Currently, it was about time for the both of them to evacuate the field, they had done their part, they had battled themselves.

Both the F-rank and the B-rank bender strolled out of the field, then those same men that brought the large bowl of water strolled into the field not long after. They carried the bowl of water and began sauntering out of the field.

It wasn't needed anymore, the battle was over...the B-rank bender wouldn't be needing it anymore. It was afternoon currently heading straight to mid-afternoon, the crowd had been enjoying the tournament so far.

And that included both the officials and the king. The tournament wasn't over, the Battle Festival wasn't over, there were still some warriors that would battle themselves before the festival would come to its climax.

The overseer was standing right in the middle of the field, and it was about time to usher in the next set of warriors that would be battling themselves. And at that moment, he began speaking,

"I'm sure we enjoyed the last battle that just took place. It's about time for me to usher in the next set of warriors that would be battling themselves. Give it up for an S-rank and an F-rank bender, they are the next set of warriors that would be battling themselves".

..That means it was a warrior with the fire affinity and the one with the earth affinity that would be battling themselves.

It hasn't been long since an F-rank bender walked out of the field, and now, they were ushering in another F-rank bender into the field? A rank of bender that won not too long ago? Well, that wasn't a problem.

It was an S-rank bender that won the first tournament, and now, they were ushering in another S-rank bender into the field. It was just like they wanted a winner and winner to battle themselves...but this time, in other souls.

But that wasn't the case, that wasn't what they had in mind, the warriors that would be battling themselves had already been prepared ahead of time. After the overseer made that utterance, he walked out of the field giving space for both warriors to stroll into it.

The potholes caused by the other F-rank bender weren't there anymore, he fixed them before leaving the field. His affinity was earth, so fixing them wasn't a problem for him at all. And for the fact that he was the one that caused them made it easier for him to fix.

Both warriors were standing on the field currently, and as usual, they were dressed like warriors. They had scabbards in their waists with wooden swords in them. They hadn't even started battling each other yet, but they already had supporters.

They already had people that were rooting for both of them. The both of them stood there glancing at each other when the overseer's voice resounded,

"Fight!".

And the S-rank bender didn't waste time running toward the F-rank bender with speed. As he was running toward him, he was already transferring mana toward his hand from his mana core and the ones flowing around.

So the moment he got closer to him, he forwarded that hand as fire came out of it and headed toward his opponent. It was so quick, but the F-rank bender still found a way to dodge it. And this was the thought that ran through his mind at that moment,

'So, he chose to make use of his power first? Is that how he wants it?'.

The crowd was so surprised that the first thing the S-rank bender did was make use of his power. Since this festival began, since the tournament began, this was the first time something like this was happening.

..Not making use of martial arts, making use of their swords, but going straight to making use of power...this was the first time something like this was happening.

Since that was what the S-rank bender wanted, the F-rank bender was ready to give it to him. The S-rank bender had already transferred mana to his left hand as he forwarded it and fire came out of it heading toward his opponent again.

The F-rank bender still found a way to dodge it. And immediately, he transferred mana to his right leg as he stamped it on the ground causing the ground to crack though it was a little sandy, and began heading toward the S-rank bender with speed.

..Now, once the crack reaches the S-rank bender, and he steps on it, he was gonna lose balance completely creating chance for the F-rank bender to do his thing.

But the crack didn't reach where the S-rank bender was standing before he jumped up with speed. When landing, he would make sure not to land on the crack.

Before the S-rank bender jumped to avoid stepping on the crack, according to his body posture, the F-rank bender had already discerned he was gonna jump. So the moment he jumped, the F-rank bender stamped his right foot on the ground once again causing stone to fly out of it.

The stone flew reaching where the S-rank bender was in the air, and the F-rank bender immediately jumped up as well. He reached the stone and kicked it as it began heading toward the S-rank bender with speed.

The S-rank bender wasn't expecting this, he didn't plan for it. So as the stone was heading toward him, he was sure he couldn't dodge it...and it was moving toward him with immense speed, there was nothing he could do about it.

..The stone reached where he was and hit him in the chest as he began falling toward the ground.

He landed on the ground with a thud. He felt pain, but he wasn't injured. And that was one point for the F-rank bender, the defeating had started.

The S-rank bender was the one that began making use of his power first, but the F-rank bender was the first to gain a point...that's how things work. The overseer didn't waste time recording it, and the F-rank bender received some cheering at that moment.

The S-rank bender stood up from the ground, dusted his clothe due to the stain he got from the stone hitting him and the ones he got from falling to a sandy floor.

"Arghhhhhhhh".

..Shouting at the top of his voice, he began running toward the F-rank bender with speed.

He reached his opponent, and their battle began once again. Minutes had passed, and currently, the F-rank bender had gained another point totaling his points to two. And the S-rank bender had gained a point.

They were battling themselves at this moment with the wooden swords in their hands. They kept on swinging, blocking, dodging, and so on. Right now, the S-rank bender had jumped with his sword raised and the F-rank bender right below him.

He aimed to swing the sword downwards and give his opponent a fake slash on the head. But he was aware of something...he knew his opponent was gonna dodge his attack, so he had another plan in mind.

As his feet were getting closer to the ground, he swung the sword downwards as it headed toward his opponent's head. And as he expected, the F-rank bender dodged it. The moment his legs landed on the ground, as quickly as possible, he kicked the F-rank bender in the leg.

..He aimed for the right leg, there was a reason for that.

The moment the kick landed on his leg, he lost balance completely. This was an opportunity for the S-rank bender, and he was sure to make use of it. As quick as possible, another kick landed on the F-rank bender's chest as he flew off and landed on the ground.

..The doings of the S-rank bender.

And that was another point for the S-rank bender totaling his points to two. So currently, he and the F-rank bender were sitting at the same number of points.

Any of them could win, no decision can be made yet. It could be either the S-rank or the F-rank bender that would emerge as winner.
