Chapter 31: Family Feud

Knowing their families' relationship, Jon was unsure of how he should react to Raphael. He wondered how everything would play out if his father had obeyed Grandmaster Ye. While Jon was deep in thought, Melissa ignored Raphael. They continued tucking in their meal."I read the newspaper this week," Raphael tried to start another round of verbal abuse. "Have you?"His interlocutors remained silent. "I wonder how a dishonorable expelled student like you can gain the town's recognition," he rubbed his chin. "You do not have the money to bribe journalists so you must have used a ruse." He leaned in, "If you get caught for scamming the public, you and your family will face dire consequences."As Jon held his anger in, his face turned hot. "What do you want Raphael?" Jon irritably spoke. Raphael chortled, "Since when did you ever care about what I want?""If you get that we do not care, then you should know your place and leave," Melissa immediately retorted."Woah," Raphael raised both

Chapter 32: Rapidly Rising

Jon was tired after a long training session. After resting and eating a hearty dinner, he took out the herbs he had found in the forest.They came in many colors, shapes, and sizes. They also possessed different properties. Some of the plants he had found could act as sedatives, anesthetics, and even stimulants, for instance. He meticulously examined the plants one by one and neatly jotted down their qualities using his laptopInformation such as the shape of their leaves or petals, the location that they were found, and so on, were detailed.Some of them could be made into pills while the others had to be consumed as potions for maximum effect. "Interesting," Jon carefully looked at a plant under a magnifying glass. "Its movement is similar to an insect." He had found a new plant species that could move on its own. The six leaves at its base carried the rest of the plant around. Jon mused as he tried to replicate the plant using energy. After a period of time, he managed to cre

Chapter 33: Persistent Persuasion

Melissa hesitated, "I am not sure if I can make it…""Why not?" Jon squinted his eyes. She stayed silent and looked down, her long and curly golden hair fell over her face."You are one of the best students in school!" Jon was astonished. "Why do you have so little confidence in yourself?"She shook her head, "I am not sure…""Going to university is your only chance to make headway beyond this town…" he persisted. "Do you have other plans to do that?" Melissa stayed silent.Jon raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to stay in this town forever?" She shook her head."But it seems like you do not have any plans to leave…" Jon was confused. "Can I really do it?" Melissa questioned herself. "What should I do if I fail?"Not knowing what Melissa was thinking, Jon sighed in desperation. "The scholarship entrance exam is open to everyone," Melissa finally started. "That does not only include students from our school."Jon started to understand Melissa's perspective. "Competition for the sch

Chapter 34: Continued Conversation

Melissa stopped to blindfold Jon just as they were approaching the place. They had walked to the rural part of their town. "Are we there yet?" Jon was getting impatient as he had followed Melissa for a while. "We will be there soon!" she slowly guided him by the hand.---Jon exclaimed after he took off his blindfold, "Wow! This place is amazing!"Melissa had led Jon to a creek next to a plain filled with trees. The place was teeming with wildlife and varied plant species."I figured it would be nice to have a change in environment," Melissa grinned. "The water in this place is crystal clear and would be conducive for training." "The water would more likely be an advantage for you," Jon smirked as he narrowed his eyes.Melissa giggled, "That is only fair."Jon conceded, "Fine, but we must stay within the boundaries of the plain.""Deal!" Melissa nodded. "We will end the spar once the timer rings. If I do not strike you before five minutes is up, you most likely have a shot at earn

Chapter 35: Productive Practice

"You are holding out well," Jon encouraged. Melissa kicked her right limb out while she replied, "I am just getting started." "That is the spirit!" Jon answered as he stepped sideways. He bent backward when Melissa did another kick using her left leg. Jon backflipped several times to put some distance between himself and his opponent. Melissa ran toward him with her whip in her hands.Crack!Jon blocked the attack using his sword in the nick of time. Shing!As he swung his weapon, a streak of energy appeared in the air."Electric Field!"A dome of energy surrounded Melissa and absorbed the attack.However, it disappeared immediately after. Melissa was pushed backward while her feet were planted on the ground. Jon took the opportunity to charge toward his opponent. Thud!Melissa fell backward due to a rock. Crack!Still laying on the ground, she swung her whip and rolled over. She stood up while Jon prepared to swing his sword. Crack!She blocked his follow-up attack just in

Boom, boom, boom…Jon shot balls of fire while Melissa fired lightning bolts.Explosions after explosions occurred while both of them agilely maneuvered about. Drops of perspiration appeared all over Melissa's face but she was unwilling to give up."Time is almost up!" Jon chirped. "You have put up a good fight."Melissa smirked, "Do not go easy on me now!"Boom, boom, boom…As balls of fire exploded, Melissa generated a force field to protect herself."I do not think I did," Jon replied. He then quickly launched another energy attack, "Meteor Rain!"Melissa maintained her force field as she floated in the air. While doing so, she drew energy from the crystal clear creek nearby.Boom!Her force field exploded, destroying the fireballs surrounding it. "Hurricane Harrow!"Melissa made use of her environment's advantage to help her with the attack. Multiple water droplets rose from the creek and swirled in the air. Ding, ding, ding…The timer rang the fifth time just as a small twis

Chapter 37: Prolonged Practice

At Grandmaster Ye's mansion…"Jon is determined to participate in his town's tournament…" Grandmaster Ye frowned and stroked his green beard. "The risks for that are high…""Shall I persuade him not to sign up for it?" General Hui proposed.After a moment of silence, Grandmaster Ye replied, "Help him in whatever way you can. You have the Ye family's entire armament at your disposal.""Yes, Grandmaster Ye," General Hui bowed then took his leave.Grandmaster Ye squinted his eyes, "This will be a good test to determine if he really is fit to inherit the Ye family's wealth…"He then walked to his study room to compile the details of his business. ---"Are you really taking part in the tournament?" Melissa asked with wide eyes and a shaky voice.Jon nodded, "I must do it for the sake of my parents."Melissa was hesitant, "What about yourself? What about your…""I will take care of myself," Jon interrupted. He then took hold of her hand, "I hope you will support me in my decision."Melissa

Chapter 38: Open Opportunity

Clang, clang, clang…In the woods, Jon trained while wearing his armor so that he could adapt to it. Although the additional weight slowed him down, he still could move quickly.Huff, huff, huff…"I need to make sure that I maintain my energy levels." He wiped off the perspiration on his forehead using the back of his hand. To ensure he could last till the end of the tournament, he trained his up stamina by running long distances. The day before the tournament, Jon rested well and ate nutritious food that would provide him with energy. Since he had trained hard the past three months, he wanted to be in his best shape for the tournament. Thud, thud, thud…As he meditated on the boulder next to an empty field, he heard Master Hui's footsteps.Jon opened his eyes."Tomorrow is the tournament," his mentor began. "You have trained hard and well. I wish you all the best."Jon stood up then bowed, "Thank you, Master Hui."His mentor took out a metal box with green stars engraved on it.

Chapter 40: Treacherous Tournament

"Volcanic Ash!"Red hot dust particles suddenly appeared in front of Raphael's opponent. Cough, cough, cough…He grabbed the opportunity to retrieve his saber and stab his competitor in the chest. Slash!His competitor fell face down on the ground. One… two… three…Ding, ding, ding!Raphael emerged victorious for the round. He quickly made his way backstage to rest. Upon seeing Raphael walking toward him, Jon went back to his allocated waiting room. "It is best for me to keep a distance from Raphael," he thought to himself. Jon's injuries from the first round were almost completely healed. "I will put some bandages just in case."He took sips of water and eat a banana to boost his energy. In the waiting room, he could hear the tournament's emcee entertaining the spectators. "Who will be the winner of the 100 000 cash grand prize?"---"Fighting that chubby guy was such a pain," Raphael cursed as he changed his battle dress. Fortunately, he had brought an extra set. He then qu
