13 Chapter 12: End of Training

I have finally turned fifth teen years old.

I have have becoming five feet and six inches tall with long black hair reaching my back.

With green eyes and tanned skinned becoming bigger than from my past self.

As I began to spar with Old Mo like usual.

We soon got into our stance staring at each other waiting on who will mack the first move.

I have spared with Old Mo for ten years knowing every move he could possibly mack.

Beginning to surround my fingertips with earth smoothing it rounded .

During the process, Old Mo began rushing at me throwing boulders.

Noticing he was trying to stop me.

I waved my hands up as a wall came up blocking the striks.

Rushing at me Old Mo created a large earth spike from the ground aiming at the wall.

As he launched it he jumped in mid-air landing on it.

Seeing this I punched the wall forward to intercept his move.

Soon about to collide, Old Mo jumped off behind his attack and started launching strikes at the spear from behind causing it to go even faster.

Clashing with one another ruble soon came launching at me but it was too late my finger were already covered in earth.

My hands began hitting every piece around me only leaving dust.

"I am glad I banned you from using your sharpened earth claws in our spars".

"Seeing how destructive they are already in their dulled state surprises me every time"

After clearing the way I rushed to Old Mo.

He began creating holes and spikes in the ground trying to delay me.

Feeling the vibrations in the ground I began dogging and jumping over every obstacle getting closer to Old Mo.

But as I got closer Old Mo began to fighting me in hand-to-hand combat.

Throwing punches at each other redirecting them not letting one other get a hit.

But soon I grabs Old Mo's right wrist as I began tightening my grip leaving the wrist limp.

Old Mo stomped the ground as he did my feet started sinking in.

Knowing that I could not be subdued like this I pushed Old Mo away with a punch knowing he would block.

Being pushed Back I lifted both my arms as I created a pillar lifting me in the air.

Beginning to have the high ground I began stopping my feet creating spikes all around the pillar.

Soon Old Mo started creating spikes around himself.

Throwing punches in the air and aiming at Old Mo as my spikes kept launching.

Seeing this Old Mo did the same intercepting every last one of them.

Losing focuses on Jack not being able to find him as he began turning in every direction to find him.

Not able to find him he began to rise in the air to get a better vantage point.

As he got up in the air boulders began to fly at him as he punched all the once's coming toward him.

Using this as a distraction I rushed toward the base of his earth rise punching it making it lose balance.

Soon Old Mo began to lose his balance not wanting to fall from such a high place he started running down the side of the high rise getting closer to the ground.

But getting spotted by Jack he soon began creating walls and pitfall traps in front of Old Mo.

But seeing the old man doge every trap he made with ease wondering if he could sense vibrations too.

He intercepted Old Mo with a kick but was grabbed and slammed to the ground.

But before getting hit he loses the earth cushioning his impact.

Even after my preparations it still hurt me but I not letting it show.

I spun around not letting Old Mo stump on my face as I rolled to the right missing the hit by an inch.

Grabbing his foot as I tightened my grip trying to immobilize him.

Soon a kick was launched at me decided to block it with both arms getting sent across the field.

Spinning in the air landing on my feet I created an earth staff as Old Mo created a Sword.

We lunged at one another swinging and kicking one another being at a stalemate.

Pushing off one other getting some distance as I soon whistled as the earth under Old Mo was sinking.

Feeling that his footing was losing Old Mo Jumped in the air not getting trapped by Dhara's excavating ability.

Seeing this Jack took this moment and tackling at Old Mo grabbing him.

But as they landed Jack was able to press some of his pressure points on his left shoulder making it go limp.

Thinking that he won he soon was hit by a pillar from the ground into his stomach taking the wind out of him and making him fall over.

Trying to breathe Old Mo began putting his foot on my back calling the win.

But not noticing Dhara digging under us causing us both to fall.

As the dust settled around Old Mo only saw that he was the only one in the hole.

Beginning to laugh and say " you have finally done it you have finally beaten this Old Man with help of your fury friend.

Looking up seeing Dhara wrap around me by the edge of the pit.

I soon fall back laying on the ground trying to catch my breath as Old Mo began rising from the pit by stomping his feet.

Seeing me lay on the ground he began walking toward me telling me to follow him back to the cave.

After entering the cave And sitting on the table with Dhara still wrapped like a fur pelt putting her head.

Old came and sat in from of me with a box in his hand.

Wondering what was in side Old Mo began to talk.

"Seeing you grow into the strong young man you have become today from that scared little kid when I first meet you."

"I prepared a gift for you" as Old Mo opened the box.

Looking inside there was new clothing and shoes with a map.

Wondering why he was giving me this prize.

"Seeing how strong you have became and wanting to see you when you are at your strongest I want you to explore the world that you have never seen".

Understanding that my prize was my freedom to explore the world I began to cry with joy.

Seeing this Old Mo pushed the box toward me as I picked up my new clothes.

Seeing a gray shirt and pants with green stitching with the Earth Nation symbol in the front of the right part of my chest as the word Earth is on my back with a green belt and black shoes.

But this was not it as I wipe my tiers Old Mo threw me a bracelet with the kanji of Earth.

Wondering why he gave this to me he told me to gain enough experience and challenge Bumi and beat him to a pulp.

To accomplish the one thing that he could not do in his life as I promise I would.
