Chapter 24 - Promotion (Part 13)

Jin soon funneled his mana through his body activating [Body Compression Medium Rank F]. Both men rushed at each other. The yellow-haired man named Finn was the first to throw a punch but Jin was able to dodge, easily able to take out a spear from his ring and attempt to stab at Finn. He was able to grab the spear spinning his body kicking him in the face. Jin let go of the spear falling back but as he was falling to the ground he kicked the spear his foot stomped down yanking his body up and jumping towards the spear. Finn took the spear and threw it back at him but Jin grabbed it flying back then putting his feet in the ground attempting to lessen the impact. As soon as he stopped he threw the spear back Finn quickly grabbed it but he felt himself being yanked as he saw a tiny mana, a string attached to the tip of the spear. Finn quickly saw a fist flying towards his face and couldn't dodge so he was flung back as Jin fist met his face. Jin took out four more spears getting ready to throw them.

Finn got up from the rubble the wall made but he had to turn to the side as a spear was thrown at him he took the spear and used it to fling himself in the air. He ran across the shield protecting the  audience dodging spears but he felt a little pressure because Jin kept pulling his spears back with mana strings. After running around the shield 15 times Finn activated his ability [Build-up] and jumped creating a crack in the shield. Jin called back all his spears to try and stop the attacks but Finn broke through them easily but this was enough for him to not reach Jin. He got out his kusarigama stabbing the close by Finn with the sickle part then running away to gain some space then funneling mana into it shocking him. He was knocked to the ground but managed to take it out and put it into the ground then running on the chain kneeing Jin in the face. 

Jin fell but didn't want to be the only one to be damaged so he stabbed himself with the lightning orb and then stabbed it into Finn's shoulder. They both felt a shock as he channeled mana into it. Jin wrapped the chain around Finn and then deactivated the kusarigama. Jin then proceeded to throw Finn all around the field then jumping in the air kicking him into the shield then letting mana out forming two arms picking up the kusarigama then taking out his katana to use with his normal arms. Finn breaks out of the chains which saddens Jin as he would need to buy a new chain and pay someone to fix this. Jin then puts it back into the ring and then rushes at Finn. 

Finn used his skill [Build-Up] again punching Jin in the face before he could even react. Jin grabbed the ruble and started throwing it at Finn to keep him at bay but Finn simply dodged and jumped on them to make him get to Jin faster. As Finn got close Jin stomped on the ground making the ground crack and a rock came out of the ground to make a makeshift shield. Finn smashed through it but as soon as he saw Jin a mana first met his face but this time the mana fist broke apart. Finn then ripped off the other mana arm but would quickly regret it as the arm exploded pushing him back into the shield protecting the audience. Jin quickly made another set of mana arms and then made a bow and started shooting at Finn. He barely dodged the first arrow but the second arrow hit him point blank in the arm.

When his arm hit the shield it created a tiny crack pinning his arm. Since his arm was pinned to the shield that protected the audience Jin decided to try and finish this so he broke his bow and made a giant crossbow. He focused his mana into the arms and struggled to pull it back. He finally got it pulled back and fired it but Finn managed to break off the arrow and dodge it. The giant bolt managed to land on the crack freaking out the audience, starting to fear for their safety.

In the audience

Everyone was shocked and someone asked, "Are we really safe? They are getting close to breaking the barrier." The leader laughed as he got up running around so fast no one could see him fixing the wall. The crowd was shocked but the elder just said, "Watching the fight of these two young men is very interesting." They all paid attention not fearing them anymore since the leader praised them wanting to try and get a chance to recruit them.

Back to the fight 

Finn jumped at Jin but as he was getting close he was grabbed by the arms. He quickly ripped off the arms not noticing Jin made a mana shield and knew where this was going as the arms exploded but this time he dug his arms into the ground so he could not be flung back. He was able to stay in the same spot but this gave Jin the chance to kick him in the face. Jin didn't let him have the chance as he stomped on him and he made a mana bomb as he grabbed him and threw him with the bomb exploding. As Finn gained speed and momentum he activated his skill [Build-Up] again then jumped on the shield punching at Jin but this time Jin was expecting it so he managed to dodge.

Finn fell to the ground spinning as he landed with his arm then kicking Jin in the face. Jin staggered back as they both looked at each other smiling, feeling their instinct telling them to end this now. Jin decided it was finally time to use his new technique and Finn decided it was time to take out his weapon. Finn took out a rapier with a nice golden guard with a blue gem in it. Both men rushed at each other Jin took out all 5 spears he still had but Finn simply just grabbed two of them with one hand shattering them and kicked the remaining three but Jin didn't let this remove his momentum as he took out his katana slashing at Finn. Finn parried with his rapier making the katana go to the side and attempting to stab Jin. Jin didn't let this stop him as he used his leg to parry the rapier and attempted to attack. Jin felt his mana running low so he used all of it forming it all around his katana. 

Finn was able to get back his position and then used the blue gem forming water around it turning into ice. The attacks classed as a single dragon was behind Jin and a giant water witch was behind Finn. The arena shook as the attack clashed causing a cloud of smoke to form. A singular person stood above another as he put his sword next to the loser, "Jin...was it you were a good challenge so take this for the weapons I broke and don't worry this isn't my main that is getting fixed." Jin semi-conscious nodded but then fell asleep.
