Chapter 15( Tournament concludes)

[Match is far from over]said a voice behind the dust cloud.

a whip cracked inside the dust cloud followed by a large gust of wind, clearing the dust cloud.

standing behind a shield made of green mana was a short heightened young girl, with amber color hairs that were waving from the blowing winds.

[who do you think you are deciding the fate of the match, it will solely be decided by me] shouted Flora adjusting her hair and starting a chant.

Soon two holo of green-colored mana appeared around her feet and with that she started to move at twice her original speed.

[you may know that I couldn't cover my back, thus I got to make sure that you never have the opportunity to attack my back.]She smirked and ran at full speed towards Yom.

Yom who was already acting bravely and originally whose mana was mostly depleted was now in a very peculiar situation. cause due to one word from flora his all-mind games came to an end.

now that she said she will face him head-on, he would not be foolish enough as a man to attack from behind, and neither he would be able to do it if he had little pride left in him.

soon Yom calmed down and thought of a strategy if he could not attack from distance or behind, and if he could not make her loose in close combat due to her mid or even high-tier weapon art then it is best to take a different approach.

and with that thought, he created a long pole that was equal to an adult male height. and from the way he was panting, I could clearly see that he has used all the mana he had and was currently running on fumes.

[Why is the sweating and painting this much madam, is he ok.]asked the same friendly-looking lady.

[mana is not only used to do amazing spells like creating weapons or making fireballs or wind blades. wit every breath you take mana goes inside you and circulates inside your veins energizing your body. but looking at sweet all over Yoms body he must have used 99% of his Mana and his body strength is most likely solely dependent on it thus his condition, I think Domas will intervene after few seconds, if not I will, Don't worry your son is not in harm's way]Siad mother to Yom's Mom.

Seeing the reassuring smile on Mother's face, Yom's mother sighed and hoped for safety for his son.

Yom quickly maneuvered the long pole that he created in a delicate manner and keeping out of whip range, but after using her second spell Yom was totally dominated and the log pole was slowly but surely decreasing in length.

after a real struggle of 10 min, that showed fully the battle experience of Yom, and mana handling talent of flora. But as the saying goes "you could be strong as a bull if you know your body, but if you know Mana you become a dragon that swallows the world."

And the saying showed its meaning soon long pole broke in two and with a strike of whip Yom fell on the ground and fainted. Well, it was obvious as being the daughter of a person, whose mentorship is first prize for the winner of the tournament since when, so she must have trained hard since young.

[The match is over Yom fainted after depleting his stamina and mana, his situation is fine]said, Domas.

[now as for the result Flora won] said Domas with a prideful tone and huge smile on his face that he was unable to hide.

everyone who was standing around also congratulated Lilly for having such a daughter.

[As for the next match ...]

[i suurender]

[I surrender]

before Domas could even finish his sentence, both Vina and Flora surrendered the Final match.

[as per rules you have to state the reason for surrender and if it is valid we would consider it if not you need to finish the final fight] said Domas, returning to his monotonous voice.

[ I will go first, I have only 5% mana left, and if you even give me quarter tick time also I would recover at most 10%, so I will be unable to perform so I concede the match.]said Flora stating as a matter of fact.

[sorry but I have been resting for the whole 1 and a half tick now but my mana is only 30% recovered, and with my only Core stage I could not win even with facing 10% of ring-stage 1 so I would like to coincide.]said Vina.

[Ok I hear your statements, I would like Chief to make the final virdict]said Domas.

It was a smart move on his side, if he made the final decision he could be labeled partial and if the village chief did the final decision then everyone had to listen.

[So I acknowledge your both surrender and thus declare this Final match as Draw]said papa after reaching the center of the stage.

[ Now as for result we have

3rd rank "Yom Tomen" with 2 wins and a loss means 1 point.

2nd rank "Vina Greenhorn" with 1 win and a draw means 1.5 points.

and the final winner is...

1st rank "Flora Amberly" with 2cwins and a Draw making 2.5 points.

Congratulations to all the winners and you all know you still have a long road ahead of you tread carefully and let your passion and hard work guide your path.] said Papa with a loud happy voice.

[I would now like to invite Village Madam and Guardians wife to select their disciplines, and please remember the discipline selected by Lilly would be under the tutelage of village madam till 2 months after Lilly's delivery.]said papa, and with that, we went up to the center of the arena.

[Congratulations to all the participants for showing us these wonderful fights,

All of you please keep in mind all the things that you saw and experienced today, and don't just try to dwell on loss or be flattered by your victory. Think of the reasons why others lost their match, think of how you would have reacted to those situations, think of tactics employed by the winners and make your own counter-tactics.

Always remember becoming a Mage is a very difficult journey, especially for us humans, who do not have the blessings of nature like elves, or bodies like Druids or giants, the hammer that forged us into who we are today is our own "two hands and our mind". Work till your hands are unable to move and think about every decision that you make before you take a single step forward, This is the only way through which we can achieve the best of ourselves, always remember the saying that our ancestors left for us

"We are just mere humans, a race which was not Favoured by Mana neither blessed by nature,

But this also means we are not bounded by any rules, we are free to be whatever we wanna be,

Our Race starting point might be different, but fright not as long as we work hard and remain united we could also be standing toe to toe with those proud races, and someday might be ahead of them"

and this was said before we discovered how to use mana, and even before that in "End War" it was a mere human that slew the Demon King

as the descendants of such great Ancestors, it is our solemn duty to have faith in ourselves and become as strong as we could ever be] Said mother, there was then silence for a minute and then ...

Everybody clapped with moist eyes and in every eye, there burned a fire to become strongest.

[Hence now I conclude the tournament] said, Mother after some time and with a wave of her hand made barrier disappear and turned it into a fireshow.
