[Hello everyone ... let's start the competition you all have been waiting for a whole year... as the elected village chief I hereby announce let the "Mana Spars" begain]Said papa standing in another ground that was shaped like a makeshift stadium.
But the important point is, that is it what I am thinking, and if yes then I need to prepare some things.
breaking my thoughts my papa spoke again
[I know you all know the rules... But traditions are traditions so I shall be explaining the rule
1. Only the ones who are 14 years old and less than 18 can participate.
2. no one above apprentice mage rank 1 can participate.
3. No intentional hostility will be tolerated.
4. once the opponent declares his defeat, the other one has to quickly cancel his/her spell.
5. and to all watchers, it is a warning you are not allowed to interfere, it is only a kid spar.
And finally, as for reward "lily couldn't take in the discipline due to her pregnancy, but that means wy wife "The Village madam" will be taking 2 disciplines this year.] And as papa said the last line all the kids that were lining up for participation, shouted in happiness.
but this cleared my doubt "this is really what I am thinking, but how could this be possible, how are humans able to do so after only 3000 years that"
[Now Domas will be in charge of competition as well as judge and as well as the first one to take action in case of emergency. Does anyone have a problem with that.] said, papa.
[No village chief] said, everyone.
[No village chief.] said, uncle Domas.
with that surrounding of Domas starting illuminating with a light green hue and formed a gust of wind and just like a dry leaf he flew off from the ground and landed exactly feet apart from papa position.
[ah what a showoff. using mana to just walk]said Lilly, but with a proud smile on her face.
I am sure it was "A quick mobility spell" but he had modified it according to his need. plus it was also countless. that means he has great proficiency in this spell.
And after shaking hands with Domas papa walked out of the arena and took out a black color ring from his pocket.
[Dear if you would be kind please] said father while placing ring in his hands and handed it to mom.
Mom pointed her hands towards papa and he put the ring on her finger. Now looking closely at this Black ring I could say that this was no ordinary ring. Cause it was an artifact. and artifact is a tool that has certain basic runes embedded on them that turn on undersupply of mana and causes the combined effect of runes to be triggered.
As mother started muttering the spell the ring started brightening and from a pitch-black ring, it turned into a diamond ring and broke apart into four pieces.
These four pieces flew towards four corners of the arena and started expanding into semi-transparent arcs that finally combined to form a dome made up of white light.
[now that the Dome is constructed let us welcome our today great warriors that will grow up and one day might just become great mage and future of our village... So as per tradition all the participants one by one come forward and introduce themselves and after introducing announce who do you wanna challenge.
all of you remember the one with the most wins will be the final winner of the match and once you deplete your mana reserve you are out of the match. Now began] said Domas amplifying his voice using some kind of tool.
So some 7 boys and three girls came to the center of the stage and stood behind domas.
[Myself Kareem Hauler, son of Yaren Hauler, Apprentice Core Stage, age 16]
[Myself Yom Tomen, son of Jim Tomen, Aprentence ring one Stage, age 18]
.
.
.
[My self Flora Amberly, Daughter of Domas Amberly the village guardian, apprentice Ring one stage, age 14]
Everyone was quietly listening till the last participant, and that was Flora, daughter of Domas, and from the chatting which was going around, I can see that it was quite a big thing to reach this stage at this age. which means she could be a genius.
[Congratulation Lilly your daughter is quite a prodigy and at this age, her future is surely greater than ours, right.]said the mother confirming my hypothesis.
[Yes I have higher expectations from her but hope she would be fine] said, Lilly.
[Now that everyone has introduced themselves let the match begain]said domas.
[ now everyone draws out a slip and whoever has the least no. will be given priority to pick his first opponent and so on, do everyone understand or does anyone have any problem] said domas.
[Then pi...] before domas could finish his sentence a man shouted
[i have a problem village chief] said the middle-aged man.
[What is it Mr. Tomen] said papa to Jim tomen father of 'yom' who was also the rank 1 and most aged person among participants. if not for flora's appearance he had a high chance of getting the first rank.
[It is not my problem Village chief but you know the thing is that no one asked so as a Honerrable citizen I would like to question why is Domas the judge if his own daughter is a participant] said tomen with a smile on his face.
[Tomen do you doubt my Honesty] said domas in an angry tone.
[oh now you want to pressurize a mere ordinary man with your aura. So how could we believe you will not pressurize kids to let your daughter win] said Tomen in an afraid tone but with a light smirk pasted on his face.
I got to say this is getting interesting.
[Cool down Domas, and you Mr. Tomen, you are just baselessly accusing Domas, and let me remind you he is the Village Guardian and you should pay respect when talking to him do you understand] Saiid papa in a cold demeaning tone.
[You Youuu..]
[Shut up. I am in a great mood today and everyone is celebrating, so I don't want any disturbances, and as for the matter of his impartial, I could vouch for that, or are your ganna say you even doubt me know, will you ] Said papa before tomen can utter a single word.
Oh that was a nice one papa, I also didn't like him
[It seems you don't have anything else to say, so I take your silence as a yes] said papa adding more fire to already fuming tomen.
[ so now let's not waste time "LET THE SPAR BEGUN"]
