The D-rank bender reached where he was standing, and the battle began once again...full-time martial arts. They kept on throwing punches and kicks at each other, but they weren't able to hit each other...they kept on dodging each other's attacks.

..Until...the S-rank bender was finally able to give the D-rank bender a nice kick in the stomach causing him to fly off and land on the ground.

And that was one more extra point for him...he won, the people supporting him cheered at that moment. The S-rank bender was still the one that won this tournament in the end.

The overseer had to announce it at that moment, "And the S-rank bender won, he's gathered a total of four points".

After making that utterance, he strolled to where the S-rank bender was standing, held his right hand, and lifted it...that signified winner. The D-rank bender stood up from the ground with a kind of expression on his face...yeah, he lost.

The people that were rooting for the S-rank bender couldn't stop cheering at that moment. The people rooting for the D-rank bender just kept mute.

A smile appeared on Asher's face at that moment, the person he was hoping to win actually won...he was glad. And that goes for the same as other chiefs and nobles that were rooting for the S-rank bender.

Ethan just sat there without uttering a single word...he didn't cheer or react, nothing. That goes for the same as the other chiefs and nobles that were rooting for the D-rank bender.

As for the king, he wasn't rooting for anyone, he wasn't rooting for any of the warriors...he was just enjoying himself. And as said, that was the same case for, Aiden. He wasn't rooting for any of the warriors, he was just enjoying himself.

So it didn't affect him that much seeing that the S-rank bender won and the D-rank bender lost.

The S-rank bender was gonna receive lots of rewards for emerging as winner. The D-rank bender was gonna receive something too for at least partaking in the tournament, but it was nowhere close to what the S-rank bender would receive.

Both warriors were sauntering out of the field currently, they had done their part, they had battled themselves...they had entertained the crowd.

It was about time for the overseer to usher in the new set of warriors that would battle themselves. The overseer was standing right on the field currently, and his voice resounded at that moment,

"Wasn't that a nice battle? I'm sure you guys were entertained. As seen, the S-rank bender was the one that emerged as winner. It's about time to usher in the new set of warriors that would be battling themselves. But before that..."

Two young men were carrying a large bowl of water into the field, this was the reason why the overseer stopped talking. Everything had been arranged, he knew they were gonna bring the large bowl of water into the field.

And there was a very good reason for it...one of the warriors was gonna need it. They reached the field, dropped the bowl of water at the side of it...at the far end. Then the both of them sauntered out of the field.

And the overseer continued speaking, "This large bowl of water is gonna be needed by one of the warriors that are about to battle themselves soon".

..Making that utterance, many of the people in the crowd had already discerned what rank of bender was gonna need it...a B-rank bender.

The overseer was still speaking, "I'm gonna be ushering in the next set of warriors that are gonna be battling themselves. Give it up for the next set of warriors. It's a B-rank and an F-rank bender".

And with that, the overseer strolled out of the field as both warriors sauntered into it. Both of them were dressed as the other warriors were dressed...how warriors were supposed to be dressed. They were both young men, and they had a scabbard each in their waists with wooden swords in them.

The both of them were glancing at each other currently, then the overseer's voice resounded,

"Fight!".

And the F-rank bender didn't waste time as he began darting toward the B-rank bender. The B-rank bender just stood there waiting for whatever attack his opponent was gonna throw at him. The main aim was to dodge now.

The F-rank bender reached where he was standing and threw a swinging swift punch, but the B-rank bender dodged it by bending a little. The F-rank bender didn't stop, he threw another swift punch, and the B-rank bender dodged it once again by moving to the side.

..And now, it was time for the B-rank bender to throw his attacks.

The moment he dodged his opponent's second attack, he didn't give him chance to throw another one...he attacked immediately. He threw a swift kick that headed straight to the F-rank bender's face, he wasn't expecting it.

But though he wasn't expecting it, he still dodged it, he was too swift. Before the kick could touch his face, he moved to the back with speed. The B-rank bender quickly threw another kick that headed toward his face, and his opponent still dodged it by moving to the back a little.

"Arghhhhhhhh". The B-rank bender shouted as he came with another swift kick...a shadow kick this time.

..And that's where he made a mistake...a big one.

As known, a shadow kick was a different kind of kick, it isn't that easy to dodge when it comes unexpectedly. The F-rank bender wasn't expecting the B-rank bender to throw a shadow kick at that moment...but it wasn't that unexpected.

And why is that? 'Cause, the B-rank bender shouted before throwing the attack. With that shout, the F-rank bender was able to discern quickly that his opponent was gonna come with a different kind of attack...and that's exactly what happened.

..He came with a different kind of kick, a shadow kick.

And since the F-rank bender was expecting something different which he's already prepared himself for, he caught his opponent's leg...the kick didn't touch him. And at that moment, the B-rank bender was f**king surprised.

But his surprise was about to end. The moment the F-rank bender caught his leg, he gave him a nice kick in the chest as he flew and landed on the ground...and that was one point for the F-rank bender, the defeating had already started.

Getting supporters wasn't that hard, both warriors had already gathered people that were rooting for either of them to win. The F-rank benders among the crowd were rooting for the F-rank bender along with other ranks of benders.

And the B-rank benders among the crowd were rooting for the B-rank bender along with other ranks of benders. So the moment the F-rank bender kicked the B-rank bender in the chest causing him to fly off, the people rooting for him cheered at that moment.

He had gotten one point, and the overseer didn't waste time recording it. At this moment, no one could tell who would emerge as winner until a winner emerges. Just because the F-rank bender was leading in points now doesn't mean he was gonna emerge as the winner.

The B-rank bender stood up from the ground as he was glancing at the F-rank bender currently. The F-rank bender was thinking he'll have to attack first again, he attacked first at the beginning of this tournament...his thinking was that the B-rank bender wouldn't want to take the risk of attacking first.

..But actually, he took the risk, he watched as the B-rank bender was darting toward him with speed.

And at that moment, he prepared himself to do whatever...to dodge, attack, and so on. The B-rank bender reached where he was standing and threw a straight punch...the one that would hit him directly in the face but wouldn't cause blood to flow out.

But it was a miss, the F-rank bender didn't let the punch touch him, he moved to the side a little as the punch moved past. Another punch was thrown by the B-rank bender with his left hand, but the F-rank bender still dodged it.

The B-rank bender threw a swift kick, the F-rank bender dodged it as well. He threw another one, the F-rank bender still dodged it. And at that moment, the B-rank bender became provoked, he needed to gain a point as well...

..It was about time to make use of his power.
