''Yue hurry up!'' Axel shouted while waving his hand to us it seemed like his so excited to finally be discharged from the hospital.
I could only sigh because I needed to recover from my injuries I wasn't able to enter the competition.
Whoa!!!
Go, Miss Elaine!
The Wei family will win!!
Cheers can be heard from the arena as the city enters a huge festival to celebrate the competition.
''And here I was supposed to be one of them''
''Were you going to join as well?'' Abigail asks while trying to push the wheelchair Adrian is sitting in.
For those who are asking why he's in the wheelchair Laima just sent him flying with Axel last night those two can't stop bickering and end up ruining the book that she was reading.
As for Axel's arm got wrecked so he's wearing an arm sling while using his other hand to wave at us.
''It's quite a shame that you can't join the competition'' Adrian said while looking at me he seemed to be hinting at something.
''What do you mean to say, Adrian?'' I asked
I'm a bit curious about his face he seems to be planning something.
''Let's cause some trouble'' he simply said .....I started thinking yup this guy just got influenced by Axel I can tell.
''What's this you guys planning something count me in'' Axel seemed to have a very good hearing all of a sudden and was able to hear us even though we were far away.
''Don't worry I'll clean the mess'' Laima came from behind me tapping my shoulder with a lets-do-it smile of hers.
'' Umm.....won't we be in trouble?'' Abigail said While looking quite exasperated towards the three she wasn't expecting Adrian to act like that.
''Not now we haven't fully recovered have you guys forgotten that look at us'' I said while posturing them to observe themselves.
I can't help but sigh although we can walk(except for Adrian who broke his knee because of a certain someone) our bodies are covered in bandages especially us four, Abigail may not received grave injuries but she too hasn't fully recovered yet.
''You are right about that'' They all agree with me I can't help but scratch the back of my head with these guys.
Boom!
Fireworks started to light the sky although it was morning the fireworks that they used covered the sky with its dazzling light.
The five idiots found themselves mesmerized by the beauty of it. For a couple of moments, they have forgotten the pain in their bodies and completely focus on the beautiful flower that is blooming in the sky.
''The second part of the competition is finally beginning'' Adrian said while still looking at the sky.
After that cheers of people begin to echo from the arena as the announcer introduces the contender's name.
''Let's just watch we might see something interesting'' they suggested although I was not really in the mood I just agreed with them.
''Yue is that you?'' a voice sounded behind me following its voice I found Nikias and his group.
''We meet again" He smiled at me I only nodded my head with a smile as well.
''How are you boy it seems you got in trouble'' Kuno told me while Reto just gave me a playful wink.
''Yue we were looking for you when the preliminary started but it seems like you got yourself in trouble'' Mila came from behind speaking to me disappointed for the fact that she wasn't able to see me compete.
''I got caught in some incident on my way here Oh by the way these are my friends.....this guy over here is Axel Gu'' I introduced while Axel waved his other hand giving a mischievous smile to Mila.
''This guy in the wheelchair is Adrian Lin.....and this beautiful girl taking care of him is Abigail Fa finally my gorgeous big sister Laima Chen''
For a moment there was silence I'm not sure what did I say something wrong. I'm confused.
''You....al...all four of you are from the ten great families!?'' Kuno tremblingly said
Could it be that he was shocked or scared by it?
''It's our pleasure to meet you all'' my four friends said which seemed to wake Nikias and his crew.
''Li... likewise'' Nikias seem to be nervous which is very different from his normal attitude.
''Alright how about we go and watch the competition'' Axel suggested dragging everyone with him.
This past few days Ken and the kids would often visit me right. They were really tired last night we played and caused some trouble after we were discharged, now they should still be sound asleep Ken is with them it'll be fine.
...
Shouts and cheers filled the arena as the contenders began to compete with each other.
''There are only three remaining contenders all of which have surpassed all the previous winners of the last competition because of this everyone is saying that they are the new monsters of this generation of alchemy'' Mila excitedly said
''You seem to like them a lot Miss Mila'' I asked
''Well I couldn't say that I like them I just adore one of the contenders''
''Whoah!''
''Did you see that''
''She's controlling such as raging flames''
''That's our lady Elaine for you!''
My gaze shifted from Mila to the arena a red-haired girl with sapphire eyes controls a very powerful flame it's a bit different from the innate element that everyone is born into.
''She must have an inheritance flame or a bestowal flame that is indeed impressive'' Laima spoke making Nikias and his crew confused.
''Let me explain to you....all beings living here in Fior are born with innate element cultivators born in the fire continent are born with fire element same goes for wind, water and earth. Each cultivator has their own unique type of flames there are many varieties of it which is also the same with the other continents'' Axel explained
''So in short the continents are divided based on the elements their born with'' Reto said
Axel nodded agreeing to him Laima then explained more things about the inheritance and bestowal flames.
''Now imagine someone from our continent trying to use water techniques....that cultivator won't be able to do it since he doesn't have the element of water which is the main requirement for you to earn the water technique.... that's when inheritance techniques come in'' Laima took a breath before continuing.
''Inheritance techniques let you learn other elemental techniques even though it is not your element. It is specially made for other elemental specialized cultivators to use take Yue for example'' Laima then pointed to me I smiled and took out my staff.
''What my big sister said is true my technique enables me to manipulate the air around us although I am an innate fire user...but naturally born from the wind continent can produce wind without having to use tools like me you see I need my staff to fully manipulate the air around us. In the end, I can't produce the same quality of attack a wind user can use because it is not my innate element and I can only use it due to the characteristics of my technique'' I said as I used my staff to create a small tornado.
''Inhertance technique also enables you to learn different flame techniques outside of the innate flame techniques that you have, for example my family is the Chen family for this my innate flame is the phoenix flame but as I learn from the Maple leaf dojo I was able to learn through the inheritance technique the sacred flame which have a whole different characteristics than the flame I was born with. The Sacred flame is the inheritance flame I received through the inheritance technique it is a bit hard but still, I was able to use it'' Laima then demonstrated the two different flames in her two hands.
''Then what is a bestowal flame then'' Nikias asked
''Bestowal flames don't need techniques to acquire the type of flame you desire it is something that a dying cultivator can bestow before his imminent death. Only powerful cultivators can give bestowal to other cultivators. Bestowal can also be left behind upon his death and only the person who can pass the requirements of the dead cultivator can have it. Through this different elements can be obtained and different types of elements can be harnessed it is only up to the cultivator on how to handle it'' Laima finished explaining before long the Elaine girl was able to make a level 7 detox pill.
''Not bad she's good'' Adrian commented
''Hey I think this girl may have a bestowal flame she was having a hard time controlling it a moment ago'' Abigail said while trying to observe more.
''Agreed'' Laima, Axel and I simultaneously said
Boom!
The others also completed their pill with joyous cheers from their supporters.
Wei Otis was able to enter the semi-finals to beat Elaine he must have a level 8 pill or a much more rae pill with the same level.
Unfortunately, he was one short of level he was able to make a level six ascension pill he lost to Elaine and now his family is under investigation because of his actions it might be hidden now but after the pill competition, it will surely be revealed.
Otis clenched his fist he didn't know what to do then he realized that he must at least have a second place to study inside the alchemy academy if he could he might still have a chance to escape his punishment.
The third person Edgar Erthe from Earth continent was able to make a level 6 detox pill.
''Hmm....it's quite a close battle'' Adrian said
''The earth guy is the second place he's detox pill is way better than any other level 6'' Ethan said while looking very pleased.
''Damn, it!! damn it!!!'' Wei Otis can only shout in his mind while Ethan is very content with his situation.
