Chapter 10 - A Duel Of Strength

After registering himself as part of the sect, Kyle was led to his room by Brandon and on the way there, he was lectured on the sect's hierarchy by Brandon.

After settling in his new room, Kyle made his way to the training grounds just as directed by Brandon he got there just in time to witness the duel that was about to happen between Chin and Lin.

Immediately Brandon explained the rules of the duel, he swung his hand down signalling the start of the duel. And immediately his hand swung down, Lin took the lead by dashing towards Chin with his sword in his hand.

Both warriors used a sword as their choice of weapon. Immediately Lin got to chin's position, he swung his sword lightning fast towards Chin's neck but Chin managed to avoid it by leaning backwards and using his sword to parry the attack away from him.

After successfully parrying the attack away, Chin released a lightning fast roundhouse kick that connected with Lin's head sending him go crashing on the canvas floor of the training ground.

Chin didn't waste time, he charged forward at a tumbling Lin then he swung his legs up high and tried to stomp on Lin's head but Lin had managed to roll over avoiding the stomp.

Then he had flipped backwards therefore standing up quickly and looking at Chin with his brows furrowed and he readied his blade while watching Chin's every move.

"Wow! So that is how a fight between two full fledged warriors looks like." Kyle mumbled. "I hope one day I surpass them."

{You will Kyle, if you stay dedicated.} The system said.

And then Kyle went back to observing the fight that was still ongoing. 

Immediately Lin stood up, he went straight for Chin again but not without dotting in and out making him quite unpredictable.

Then when he thought he was ready, he swung his blade out that managed to graze Chin's stomach therefore sending him skidding from the strength of the attack.

"Woah! Lin is quite fast." Someone from the crowd commented.

"Why won't he be? After all, he was the first person that was picked under captain Chan's squad." Another person said.

"Yeah, and I recognize the move he used earlier. That dotting move. That is Captain Chan's move." Another person said.

Kyle who was listening to them, didn't know who captain chan was but he knew that he was the captain that was sent on secret mission which Kyle doesn't know about because he was not high up in the ranks.

Back at the fight, after coming to a halt from his skidding, Chin looked up at Lin who was already heading for him. Then when Lin was close enough, he threw a kick towards Chin but instead of dodging, Chin threw his own kick.

The two legs connected and met in mid air causing shockwaves to spread out and blow some of the warriors hairs up because of the strength.

The two legs that met in the air looked like as if they were equal in strength after nobody had moved their legs but in a second, one leg came out as the winner.

Lin was lifted off his feet and sent flying while Chin was standing there with his leg strangely fine and preparing himself to go after Lin.

"How can they go at each other with full strength like that and not worrying about whether they kill themselves?" Kyle asked no one in particular but someone that was standing beside him answered.

"I haven't seen you before." The man said. "Which means you are not a warrior yet. Probably a recruit right?"

 

Kyle didn't answer which made the man take that as a yes.

"You see in Eridoria, all warriors fight as if their life is on the line. In a real battle, you can't pull or reduce your strength, so hence you have to take every match, battle or fight seriously as if your life is one the line. That is what makes us a true warrior." The man said.

Kyle just shook his head. 

'what have I gotten myself into?' Kyle thought. 'Anyway, my path to revenge wasn't going to be easy so I just have to suck it up.'

Kyle just went back to watching the fight that was still ongoing.

After sending Lin flying with a resounding kick, Chin chased after him and could see him slowly getting up from the floor.

"Remember, you brought this upon yourself!" Chin shouted as he swung his blade from below that connected with Lin's chin making his head fling backwards and his whole body to he lifted.

Chin didn't stop there, he went after Lin again and then he gave him a strong resounding kick in his stomach that made Lin cough out blood.

Chin raised his leg up and then channel energy into his leg making the Lin shudder in fear for what was to come. 

Chin then threw his leg down about to stomp on Lin's stomach.

"I forfeit!" Lin shouted closing his eyes.

But Chin didn't hear him, his leg was almost on Lin's head.

"Isn't anybody going to stop him? The other one clearly said he forfeited or is this another warrior's code?" Kyle asked fearing for the worst.

But he didn't have to worry for someone had already moved quickly and caught Chin's foot.

"He clearly said he forfeited so there's no need to go through with this." Brandon said holding onto Chin's foot as if it was nothing despite the energy and strength behind the foot.

"I'm so sorry captain, I didn't hear him." Chin said removing his foot from Brandon's hand and moving away from Lin that was slowly getting up.

"Since you won the duel fair and square, you get to lead the your squad on the next mission." Brandon said as he took Lin's hand and then in a flash, Brandon had exited the training grounds so quickly heading towards the medical bay.

Seeing this, Kyle had one thought on his mind. 'Just how fast and strong is Brandon?'
