152 Sky Persecution (1/2)

”Oh, Yale is really good with the sword, he should be at the expert stage.”

Sebe didn't fail to notice Yale's ability with the sword, for a kid of Yale's age, that was considered something very remarkable.

Besides the pig-man who wanted to disappear due to the shame,the other people at the Elder Rank were surprised by Yale's performance. Since Yale had battled only with arrows, they hadn't thought that he was even more skilled in melee battle.

In power level terms, Yale and the pig-guy were both in the Top 10, but although both had the same realm, everyone considered the pig-guy stronger than Yale due to being older and bigger.

The experts at the Elder Rank had made their rankings before the start of the training camp; the first was without doubts the guy with goat horns and following him there were other six guys with a realm higher than Yale.

The pig-guy was in the eight position while Yale in the ninth, that was a very good position given the age everyone thought Yale had as all the others ahead of him were at the age limit.

Of course, that was only a ranking made by them based in the practice level; it hadn't any relation with the true results as the eight position in their ranking ended merely in the Top 50.

”The training camp is turning interesting, what if we made some bets about the winner?”

As Sebe said that, everyone nodded because they wanted to bet about the results since the start, they just restrained themselves fearing that betting would be something Sebe wouldn't like.

”I will bet for my grandson, and you prince Sebe?”

The city chief was the first who spoke, and no one was surprised by his bet as his grandson was the strongest and the favorite to win.

”I will bet for Yale.”

The others wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare; they had noticed that Sebe had developed some kind of friendship towards Yale, so it was normal that he betted for him although everyone considered that the chances of Yale winning were zero.

***

After beating the pig-guy, Yale took out his bow and shot two arrows guided by his Spiritual Sense.

The short battle he had with the pig-guy had attracted two other guys who wanted to take advantage of the fight and beat the winner, but after being hit by Yale's controlled arrows, they broke their tokens instantly as they understood that Yale was someone who could kill them if they dared to battle against him.

The battles were the first reason to attract other participants, those who battled for some time had more chances to be tired and turn into an easy objective. Sadly for those two Yale wasn't tired at all.

Usually, with Yale's style of beating others, he wouldn't attract anyone. That was the greatest point of finishing his opponents quickly.

In the training camp, using the Spiritual Sense too much could lead stronger people to find you, but Yale was using the Mapping function to check the position of the others.

Thus, he could find those who were weaker than him while avoiding those stronger, giving him a great advantage. Through the Mapping function, he noticed that there were only seven participants stronger than him, and they were all together.

Six of them had joined hands to attack the guy with goat horns; he was the strongest, and the other six didn't feel that they could win in a one versus one battle against him.

Yale didn't have any plan to near them because even if they managed to beat the guy with goat horns, they would start battle among themselves just after that and there were still too many participants left, the chances of ending in a bad position were too high.

Yale forgot about those seven and continued with his method to beat opponents; archery combined with the Mapping function was fearsome. If instead of a forest the opponents were in a place with fewer obstacles, Yale would be able to beat them from even more distance; although those with great mobility would have more chances to avoid him, the weaklings would be ended at higher speed.

A few minutes later, Yale received the notification about having reached the Top 25, and the signal appeared on the sky.
