73 The Battle Festival.(9)

The B-rank bender stood up from the ground. He was disappointed, he was losing too much, from the very beginning, it was his opponent that started with the defeat. He had gained only one point.

He glanced at the crowd, then glanced at the F-rank bender, he knew there was a very huge possibility of him losing...but he has to keep trying. He stood there glancing at the F-rank bender, he didn't want to attack first, he wanted him to attack first.

The F-rank bender had already discerned that his opponent didn't want to attack first, and this was the thought that ran through his mind,

'Guess he's scared'.

And with that, a smirk appeared on his face as he began darting toward the B-rank bender with speed. The B-rank bender stood there ready to do whatever...ready to dodge or defend himself.

The F-rank bender reached where he was standing and threw a shadow kick, a nice one, the type that would take the B-rank bender off his feet immediately and land on the ground. But the B-rank bender dodged it, he didn't let the kick touch him.

The F-rank bender's legs moved past with speed, and the B-rank bender quickly made use of that opportunity to throw his own kick. A nice kick began heading toward the F-rank bender's neck, and he wasn't ready to dodge it at all.

He hadn't even gained his balance completely due to the kick he threw...he needed some seconds to gain his balance completely. The B-rank bender dodging his shadow kick created a lot of openings which the B-rank bender quickly took advantage of.

..The F-rank bender was glancing at the kick heading toward him, and he was sure he wouldn't be able to dodge it.

So what did he do? He quickly blocked it with both of his arms, but the force of the kick was still enough to move him back. But that wasn't a point for the B-rank bender 'cause his opponent blocked the attack.

..But the B-rank bender was about to gain another point now.

Before the F-rank bender knew what was happening, the B-rank bender was already standing in front of him, and a nice punch hit his stomach causing him to fly off and land on the ground. And that was one more point for the B-rank bender.

The people supporting him cheered really loudly at that moment, the person they were rooting for had finally gained another point. A smile appeared on the B-rank bender's face, and the overseer didn't waste time recording the point he had just gained.

The F-rank bender stood up from the ground, his opponent had gained another point, and this was the thought that ran through his mind at that moment,

'It's about time for this to end, let me win this'.

But would he actually win this? Wait and see. The moment that thought ran through his mind, he transferred quick mana to his right leg and stamped it on the floor. The moment he did that, a stone flew out of that spot, then he kicked it with speed as it began heading toward his opponent.

The B-rank bender watched as the stone headed toward him with speed, but of course, he wouldn't let it touch him. He dodged it as the stone moved past him with speed. And by the time he glanced front, another stone had gotten so close to him.

..It was a close call, but he still managed to dodge it.

He glanced front again, and another stone had gotten so close to him, a large one, but he still managed to dodge it once again. The F-rank bender was just bringing out stones from the ground with speed and kicking them toward the B-rank bender.

He wasn't bothered about the size anymore. According to the tournament rules, the stones he was supposed to be kicking toward his opponents were stones that were average in size. But at this moment, he was kicking both large and average-sized stones toward his opponent.

And he was doing it with immense speed, it was just like he wanted to injure him. Normally, if he wanted, by now, he could simply run toward the B-rank bender and either punch or kick him and win the tournament 'cause the B-rank bender was busy dodging stones heading toward him.

He wouldn't even notice when the F-rank bender would get close to him. But no, the F-rank bender kept kicking stones toward him giving him no chance to rest...as said, it was just like he wanted to injure him.

The B-rank bender wanted to wield mana at that moment, he wanted to make use of his power element, but he couldn't due to the many stones that were heading toward him. At this point, he knew one of the stones would definitely hit and injure him if it keeps going like this.

How long would he keep dodging them? The F-rank bender was giving him no chance to make any move...there were lots of potholes around where the F-rank bender was standing due to the many stones he was bringing out of the ground.

..The B-rank bender kept dodging and dodging, something was gonna go wrong in the next seconds if this keeps on going.

And at that moment, the overseer's voice resounded,

"Stop!".

The F-rank bender was still bringing out stones from the ground and kicking them toward the B-rank bender. And the overseer's voice resounded again,

"Stop!".

And that's when the F-rank bender stopped, and the B-rank bender dodged the last large stone that was heading toward him. The overseer stepped into the field, glanced at the many potholes the F-rank bender made due to the stones he was bringing out of the ground.

He shook his head a little, glanced at the F-rank bender, and said to him,

"You are going against the rules of making use of your powers, you are crossing the boundaries".

"I don't think I am". The F-rank bender voiced out glancing at the overseer.

"Yes, you are. If you keep going like this, you'll be banned from making use of your power, while your opponent would still be allowed to make use of his power". The overseer uttered.

He didn't say anything else before walking out of the field. The F-rank and the B-rank bender were glancing at themselves currently, then the overseer's voice resounded,

"Fight!".

Hearing that, the F-rank bender didn't waste time as he drew out his wooden sword and began darting toward the B-rank bender with speed. Seeing this, the B-rank bender drew out his wooden sword as well.

The F-rank bender reached where his opponent was and swung his sword with speed as it was heading toward his opponent's stomach. But the B-rank bender moved back a little as his opponent's sword swung past with speed.

The F-rank bender didn't stop, he swung his wooden sword again aiming for that same stomach. But the B-rank bender dodged it once again and threw his attack. He came with a swift kick.

He raised his leg high aiming to kick his opponent's neck. But something happened...the F-rank bender caught his leg. Now, that was bad, the F-rank bender could do whatever he wanted now that he's caught his opponent's leg.

..But the B-rank bender wouldn't let him.

With his right leg in his opponent's hand, he raised himself and threw another kick with his left leg. And the F-rank bender had to leave his right leg and move back with speed to dodge his left leg.

And the moment the B-rank bender's leg touched the ground, the F-rank bender moved toward him with speed aiming to make use of his wooden sword again. He reached his opponent and swung his sword with speed, but the B-rank bender dodged it by bending his head.

The F-rank bender swung his sword again, and the B-rank bender blocked it with his sword this time. And in seconds, clashing of swords had begun between the both of them. They kept on swinging their swords and blocking each other's attacks.

..Their swords clashed once again...then something happened.

With force, the F-rank bender swung his sword downwards causing the B-rank bender's sword to fall off his hand...and this was a big opening.

Without wasting time, the F-rank bender gave the B-rank bender a fake stabbing in the stomach, then a nice kick to the chest followed causing the B-rank bender to fly off and land on the ground.

..And that was another point for the F-rank bender totaling his points to four points, he had emerged as the winner.

The people supporting him cheered at that moment...just as he said in his thought, he emerged as winner.
