Chapter 13(Stan vs Yom)

Why did Yom choose stan, he was barely able to win his previous battle, well I never thought he would be a thoughtful person, he plans to gain as many as a win as quickly as possible and at the same time, it would deplete Flora mana more after next match. good thinking from the son of such a hotheaded person.

As the match started both of the participants starting by Started by quickly chanting, but due to age difference that results in experience difference, Yom finished his chant quickly and made three small-sized mana balls and threw them from three different directions amazing at Stan, and at the same time ran towards him at full speed and simultaneously chanting to create another ball in his own hand.

the match was looking pretty one-sided and stan was in a pretty difficult position now, But he imployed his quick thinking, instead of doing the mana balls, he ran forward towards you. seeing this Yom laughed and made a Pole out of Mana Ball, Similarly Stan also did the same and made a pole.

They Both collided with each other for some time, but still, Yom had an upper hand as the stick in stan had lost its luster now.

[It seems you could not last for much longer, why don't you just quit, it would save meaningless wastage of energy] said Yom after taking a step back.

[I know that I couldn't win against you but I wanna give my all before losing, I am happy to be in the top 5] said stan while huffing.

[huh ... why is every time there is a mana spar you all weaklings treat it like a deathmatch, why can't you tell when to quit, why to go for a meaningless and long battle, you should be ashamed] said Yom in an arrogant tone.

[Why you... ]

[Shut up stan, now let me tell you the difference between a ring and core stage] said Yom shutting Stan before he can speak anything.

He again took 4 more steps back by quickly doing a back jump and starting muttering a spell.

this was surely a different spell as I could tell by the glow in his surroundings.

[there you go my boy, tell all of them why I am proud of you] shouted Mr. Tomen.

and as soon as he finished the spell the pole in his hand disappeared and returned to that of a ball, and suddenly the ball changed its color to that of Red.

Seeing this Stan had a bad premonition but he quickly ran backward and started muttering spells to create a basic mana shield.

I got to say in this village alone I have seen uses of basic mana this much, how would it be in the outside world.

Yom then started to increase the size of his red ball until it became a Head sized ball, Seeing this Domas became alert and stood up to move at any time of need.

Yom then seeing the fearful look in Stan's eyes laughed loudly and said

[You see know this is power, however fancy trick u use to conjure a shield or a wall it is just neutral mana and until u step up in Ring stage u will never be able to win]

And then he started dividing the big balls into small balls and then started firing them at Stan.

The shield that he made was crumbled when a second ball hit it and he got blasted away. But then again he stood up and again created a pole but this time smaller than before.

[just give up weekiling] shouted Yom throwing four more balls at the same time.

Stan quickly blocked 2 more balls with his pole which was at this point looking like Dry stick, and Stan was also huffing heavily. and his mana was nearly depleted but was standing on his fierce willpower alone.

[Cant you just give up, why are you making me waste my time and energy.] Shouted Yom in irritation and threw the remaining 10 balls at the same time.

A ball collided with stan, but he still managed to avoid the explosion and was looking like a black man with all smoke on his skin.

soon all the ten balls reached him and at this moment there was no more pole left in stans hand just a wisp or thread of mana.

seeing this Domas Ran but stopped at the last second.

But Stan just swung his hand in a slashing manner at last attempt to save himself, and at this moment a miracle happened, there was a gust of wind and a sword that was shining brightly with white light appeared in his hand and as he swung it down all the upcoming balls were slashed in half. And after that swing, he fell on the Grond.

Domas quickly came forward and checked on Stan's condition and stood up with a satisfied smile on his face.

[ha ha ha finally after so many generations my TimberJack family woke up a 'sword art', now no one would be able to compete with us in future. haha ha ]laughed a middle-aged man with a huge stomach.

no you are wrong that is no "weapon art" this is in fact "Sword soul", I still couldn't detect mana, but I am a hell of sure that they both are completely different, cause my mother was on move again. and last time she moved was because of Rare gravity or nature element awakening.

[Will you first announce the result Domas]said mother moving towards Stan and checking his condition.

[Yes madam, So the winner of the match is Yom] Said Domas in a monotonous voice.

[What are you saying my son blocked his every hit, and he has awoken sword arts]said me Timberjack.

[your statement is right, but rules state the one who remained standing until the end can only win, otherwise, it's a loss]explained Domas.

[yes he is right Mr. Timberjack, now let me tell as all of u know this competition serve two purposes, one is to check and evaluate the progress of young ones and the second is for me and Lilly to chose personal discipline till they leave for the city, so I suggest let the guardian Domas train Stan in the usage of sword arts and I am sure he would be qualified for an elite tower. ] Said the mother.

[your word fill my heart with joy Madam, I would have never expected to have such a chance in our family] said Mr. timberjack.

"now I got another new word Elite Tower, ah it's frustrating as soon as my body is able to talk I am gonna bombard mother with all the questions."

[now the next participant please tell who do you wanna challenge] said Domas, when Stan was taken away from the arena.

[it's me and I challenge vi.. Flora]said frith. and I could clearly tell from the looks that frith was Yom's underling and like him, he was the second oldest among participants, age 17 years. It must be part of Yoms plan to tire out Flora as she was the youngest and had the least experience. she was only able to win the previous match with help of her green mana.

Let's see what will happen,
