Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8 : First competition

The bustling streets of Yohaun City reverberated with excitement as the day dawned. The air vibrated with the anticipation of the grand sparring competition hosted by the esteemed city lord's mansion. The coveted prize? Admission into the renowned Imperial Academy of Central Plains, nestled within the Sunlei Dynasty – the continent's undisputed powerhouse, boasting numerous S- and SS-rank individuals.

Driven by an unwavering determination, Yajat set out early to register for the competition. This event wasn't just a chance to climb the ladder of prestige; it was a crucial stepping stone on his path to vengeance. The Sunlei Dynasty, with its dense concentration of power, represented a haven for his growth. Immersed in such an environment, he knew he could accelerate his development and forge himself into a weapon capable of avenging his family.

As Yajat approached the registration booth, oblivious to his surroundings, a woman cloaked in crimson crimson observed him with keen eyes. With a swiftness that went unnoticed, she vanished into the throng, leaving no trace of her presence.

The competition commenced, drawing over 300 participants onto the stage. Each of them possessed their own reasons for competing, their eyes gleaming with ambition and the hope of securing the coveted prize. However, only ten could emerge victorious, standing tall amidst the fallen.

The air crackled with anticipation as the first round began. Yajat, fueled by his burning desire for revenge and honed by years of relentless training, unleashed his skills with a ferocity that stunned his opponents. He moved with the precision of a seasoned warrior, his strikes swift and decisive. One by one, he eliminated his challengers, carving his way through the ranks with the unwavering resolve of a man possessed.

Meanwhile, the woman in red reappeared amidst the crowd, her crimson cloak blending seamlessly with the vibrant tapestry of the competition. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, followed Yajat's every move, her interest in the young warrior steadily growing. Unseen by Yajat, she observed his fighting style, his strengths and weaknesses, and the unwavering dedication that burned within him.

As the rounds progressed, the competition intensified. The remaining participants were formidable opponents, each possessing their own unique abilities and fighting styles. Yet, Yajat remained undeterred. He fought with the ferocity of a cornered beast, fueled by the memory of his fallen family and the promise of vengeance.

With each passing round, Yajat' s prowess became increasingly evident. His victories, though hard-earned, were undeniable. He had become a force to be reckoned with, a dark horse in the competition, steadily rising through the ranks towards the coveted prize that awaited him.
