Chapter 45: Tournament Battles
Yale’s sword clashed with his opponent’s rod, but Yale’s strength was on the weaker side since he still didn’t use Bloodline Force
However, Yale wasn’t planning a clash of strength
Using a rod required both hands while using a sword like the one Yale wielded only needed one
Yale had planned to win the battle with his spare hand and not by wielding another weapon but by using a spell
The spell Yale chose was Spark That spell wasn’t very powerful but could stop his opponent for a few seconds
Just after their weapons hit each other, Yale used his Spark spell on his opponent
Yale’s opponent let off his rod just after being hit by the spell, Yale’s plan was successful
Then, Yale used that instant to send his opponent outside the stage winning the first round
When one had a weaker strength than the opponent, using a strategy was better than foolishly battling straightforward
After all, thespells was so normal, and Yale wouldn’t be blamed for it
That was his opponent’s fault for didn’t notice Yale’s spare hand and also neglected the possibility of Yale casting a spell
"The winner is Yale, congratulations!&8221;
After the referee announced the results, the syste the first battle: Intelligence increased to 17 points&8221;
"Dyna the first battle: Wisdom increased to 17 points&8221;
"Dyna the first battle: Dexterity increased to 15 points&8221;
Yale was happier for the syste the battle itself
The spectators applauded Yale, and then he went out of the stage
Yale was quite fa that his opponent couldn’t investigate before
On the other hand, most of the opponents weren’t fa already in the 4-star mortal realm and thus unable to participate in the tournament
The exceptions were the ones who entered three months before Yale and those sorade after more than a year
Yale observed all the other students who battled in the first round; there were feho he recognized as they had quite a fame in the academy
However, Yale felt that he could win all of theth they had shown
Of course, Yale didn’t believe that was the full strength for any of them Unless they had no other way, no one would want to show all their prowess in the first round
The one who caught the most attention of Yale was a tall boy on the last match of the first round because of the opponent forfeited before the battle started
He was also quite famous; Yale even knew his name, Heruk
Heruk was the oldest student who participated in the tournament and the oldest one at the peak of the 3-star mortal real too many Battle Skills and Spells, not because he lacked talent
Heruk was fa that his way of training was the best way and all the other students were fools compared with himself He said that even if all the students in the inter a womanizer even if he was only twelve years old However, he was good looking and had an i irls wasn’t difficult to him even if some of them were older than him
That made his fame already quite bad, but that wasn’t all
He was also known for being ruthless with his opponents and had almost killed soes, only because he disliked their face or their way to train
Killing a fellow student was a taboo in the acade anyone as the academy would still punish them
However, Herek’s clan was the most powerful clan in Nacesai City, even if they eaker than the Nacesai Academy, the acadeure at the level of Sainac and Swordure was Heruk’s ancestor, and Heruk was his favorite descendant, so he spoiled hi as he didn’t kill someone inside the acade him
Unless the situation was critical, the academy didn’t want to start a war even if they would win in the end
As the last battle of the first round ended without a fight, the second round started ahead of time
Yale was still the first one to battle in the new round
Yale’s new opponent was a weaponless girl, Yale had heard a little about her before and knew that she was very talented at spells
The reason she didn’t reach the 4-star in more than a year was that she tried to dual cultivate which slowed her down as she had no talent to practice Battle Skills The day of the tournament she remained at the 1-star irl cast a lot of small fireballs, that spell was quite similar to Aizu’s
However, the opponent’s fireballs were slower and more powerful, the balance was different than in Aizu’s spell
She had prepared the spell before the start of the us Path did a lot in the
As long as the spell wasn’t executed before the ainst the rules
Yale didn’t cast the Water Battle Arin Points, to deal with such spell he decided to rely on his liquid Frost Claw
Yale used all his agility to avoid the fireballs while hitting those he wasn’t able to avoid with the Frost Claw
However, as the speed of those fireballs were slower than the speed at which Yale was accustoirl saw Yale nearing her avoiding and repelling her fireballs without effort decided to cast a new spell, that one was the Water Ball spell which she used simultaneously but with a different rhythm
The Water Balls were all small and very quick even if their poas also too low to harm an opponent, their true use was to distract the other party to let the fireballs hit
Yale got new insights into his own spells after seeing such cous Path
"The user upgraded the Battle Skill [Fire Ball] to Level 3&8221;
"The user upgraded the Battle Skill [Water Ball] to Level 3&8221;
Yale didn’t practice a lot those two skills after learning theot
Yale was happy about the increase, but he didn’t let that distract hiy was useless against him
Yale only avoided an blocked the fireballs and let all the water balls hit hieneration restored hied to appear in his body
Furthermore, the pain wasn’t any problem due to Pain tolerance
Yale reached his opponent and pointed his sword towards her neck
"I lost&8221;
The girl gave up the match when Yale reached her; she knew that Yale avoided hurting her
Even if she didn’t lose only by having a sword pointing at her, she wasn’t that shaoodwill towards her
Furthermore, as she was only at the 1-star mortal realm in the Warrior Path, at the moment Yale reached her, she had lost any hopes to win
The referee announced Yale’s win, and he officially entered the top eight
As Swordht wasn’t a difficult task for Yale
"Dynath increased to 16 points&8221;
"Dynaility increased to 16 points&8221;
"Dynain Points increased to 15/15 points and restored&8221;
The next match was between two boys ielded swords; Yale enjoyed the fight
Furthermore, he knew that the winner of that match would be his next opponent, which excited him
The next one to battle was Aizu; her opponent was also a girl who had focused on the Magus Path
That was a long-range battle as it was typical for a fight between Magus Path practitioners
However, what decided the battle wasn’t any spell, it was Aizu’s sword
She waited until the opponent was casting a spell to attack her with the sword, sending her outside the stage
That was a typical fault of a Magus Path practitioner when battling to another Magus Path practitioner; they tended to forget the possibility of a physical attack and concentrated only in casting their best spells quickly
Aizu used that flain the battle
However, she had to admit that her own spells were still worse than her opponent’s, but Aizu had more battle experience due to her continuous practices with YaleIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
