Chapter 59: The boy that defies the natural order!!!
Lancelot Jr stood in an empty training room dedicated to the Fire nation members to train.
He made his mind calm as instructed by the spirit speaker and tapped into his inner element.
"Good, now I will teach you to combine multiple elements together, you've previously learnt how to combine air and fire easily, likewise fire and the beast element, now I will teach you how to combine water with fire and air. The more elements you can combine, the more dangerous your abilities would be."
The spirit speaker continued to instruct Lancelot Jr as he tried his best to create the elemental combinations as instructed.
Suddenly a girl dashed into the training room and she got startled by the sight she saw and
stood there staring without moving further.
She saw Lancelot Jr clearly producing flames, controlling the wind, and releasing water.
She gasped as her mind flashed back to the history she read about the elemental King, almost immediately, she and Lancelot Jr locked eyes.
She ran away without waiting a second.
Lancelot Jr dashed after her, "Lancelot Jr, you need to kill her, no one can know your secret!'
Lancelot Jr ignored the voice, suddenly he produced a cloud of smoke to hide his identity then he made the smoke as clear as the skies making it seem like nothing was moving from afar, only upon being close would anyone notice anything.
The girl had been hiding in a corner, until after a while, when she didn't see Lancelot Jr anymore she decided to come out of her hiding spot, but before she could move, Lancelot Jr appeared and grabbed her, pulling her to a corner.
She was shaking from head to toe, her father
had severely warned her of the government of the current Emperor and his tyrannical rule over those who supported the killed element King, her fear wasn't from seeing Lancelot Jr but the fear that she had any form of association with him.
"Please I didn't see anything, I don't want to die' she managed to say in a slow and scared tone.
Lancelot Jr saw intense fear in her eyes. He spoke calmly;
"I promise I won't kill you, in fact, I will protect you, but you must never tell anyone my secret, if you do, they would capture me and kill me and I won't be able to protect you" Lancelot Jr said with an innocent face as he held her close.
Suddenly another boy from the fire nation who was staring with a confused expression from witnessing the scene rushed forward and pushed both Lancelot Jr and the girl apart.
"Just because you defy the natural order, does that mean you should pick on little girls now huh?" The boy stood in front of the girl in a protective stance.
Lancelot Jr ignored him and instead asked the girl for her name, not even acknowledging the presence of the boy.
"She won't tell you her name you..." The boy spoke protectively before being interrupted by the girl,
"My name is Alisha Morgan" the girl said.
"I'll see you around Alisha Morgan"
Lancelot Jr said with a smile and walked off, leaving the boy staring confused.
"What just happened? Did I misread the situation?" He asked as he stood alone.
Two days passed by quickly and it was time for the match against the void assassin.
Clara had been hanging on to Lancelot Jr before the match, holding him as if her life depended on it.
"You have to be careful, do you really have to accept his challenge? he could really injure you, why not call off the match?" Clara spoke with worry, voicing out all her insecurities, but Lancelot Jr maintained his smile,
"I'll be fine mom" He responded.
Suddenly the silhouette of the principal could be seen as she approached where they were.
"It's time for the match, if you win this match, you would win the double-levels award for both for 1st Class and 3rd Class, there are immense benefits for both wins."
"But if you were to lose, you'd only be given the award for that of the 1st Class. But I believe in you, Gabriel, you defy the natural order" The Principal spoke passionately as she had total faith in Lancelot Jr's capability to win the match.
"It's all for your glory, nothing else matters, not even his safety!" Clara spoke to the Principal with an icy tone.
The Principal was quiet, she understood Clara well, Clara was very protective of her son, she also was starting to really see Lancelot Jr as her boy, so she never faulted her, all she did was have an apologetic look.
"l will try my best to protect him, he is also very dear to me" the principal spoke slowly.
She was the principal of the school, someone no teacher dared to defy yet in front of this woman she loses her confidence not because of strength.
In terms of strength Clara could be killed from just an earth pull she creates, however, the love and motherly protection she gives Lancelot Jr makes her jealous and even scares her for some weird reason.
She just turned and left not saying another word.
In the arena, everywhere was buzzing, the shouts were getting higher, the frenzy for this match was crazy, the reporters were all around shouting to the mic in their hands and straight at the camera before them.
"Reporting right from the arena, on STV, My name is Charles Su, Gabriel Li.."
"Reporting right from the Arena on Elemental Tv, My name is Stan Lee, Gabriel Li the boy that defies the natural order of elemental level is taking on a void assassin today, the arena is going crazy as you can see. It is being said that if he manages to clinch victory today, he would be awarded the prize of a double victory for both the 1st and 3rd level"
"This is the first in the history of elemental level competition of a boy of a lower level, taking on that of a higher level, this is order defying, this is exquisite, this is breathtaking, this is Gabriel
Li, the Fire King"
The reporter spoke with such fervor and passion, one would think he had a huge deal riding on her support for Lancelot Jr.
The competition board showed the first face, which was the original face of the void assassin.
Details:

Age: 14
Stage name: The sword monster
Capability: invincible with a sword in hand
Nation: Void assassin
Versus, then Lancelot's face appeared next

Suddenly the lightening of the arena changed, bright lights assaulted the ocular senses of the crowd, they didn't mind, even the shouts grew louder, as soon as the silhouette of Lancelot Jr was seen, the crowd couldn't hold themselves anymore.
There were already posters of Lancelot Jr all around,
Some small girls were already crying, seeing their hero, his fame had traveled,
"the boy that defies the natural elemental order, it doesn't matter if you're first level or a 3rd level elemental, he would beat you into mush and send you back to your father's house as a gift package"
Some cheerleaders were shouting, at top of their voice, the commentator was really confused,
"it seems his fame has really grown over the course of three games, for your information, this match is being broadcasted worldwide, every single household is watching even those of the humans."
'The elemental competition is really one to look forward to. While humans have their football and other entertaining competitions, we have our elemental arts to stun the crowd. It is being said that even the Emperor watches the matches from this school"
The reporter stopped as he spotted Lancelot Jr approaching the stage,
"Here he comes, the superstar, just 6 years of age and already he is dominating the elemental world, how far would he go in the future, the boy, the legend that defies the natural elemental order, Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Gabriel Li, the Fire King"
Lancelot Jr came towards the stage and used air to propel himself under the cover of fire and smoke, he spun so flexibly in the air and landed on the stage flawlessly, making the chants to soar to higher levels. He was loving the moment and the crowd.
The crowd that was initially unfriendly to him in the last two matches some of whom even bet their life savings to see him fall, now in a twist of fate are in a frenzy hailing his name, his battles were just too defying to be ignored, he made the crowd his and they are loving him.
Clara was in the front row seat with Mr.
Thomas, Clara was quiet, not involving herself in the shouts all around her, her only thought was the safety of Lancelot Jr like only she knew the stake of him surviving to adulthood.
At this point, the lights became blinding again.
From the darkness emerged a young boy in a black mask with the full attire of the void assassins, with a resplendent emblem on the chest that was so eye-catching, what was most surprising was the sword he held.
The audience gasped, at this point the level was dangerous, a void assassin is naturally difficult to deal with, but with their sword, they become a level more dangerous. The boy walked forward with the arrogance of a void assassin, to them, they are invincible under the heavens.
