152 Sky Persecution (2/2)
It was as Aiwai had said, even without time limit, the training camp wouldn't last for too long. After all, most of the participants just broke the tokens without offering any fight.
No one would blame them as there was a lack of healers, and pills were expensive for those with poor backgrounds. Healing an arrow's wound in their legs wasn't difficult as it would heal naturally or with low-rank pills, but if they were heavily injured in a battle, they would end up dying due to the lack of healing. The training camp wasn't important enough to risk their lives.
However, there was always someone who wouldn't abandon just by being injured, and Yale found one of them. As the number of participants fell, the ones who remained were also stronger and had more ambition.
”Don't think that a mere wound in the leg will stop me.”
After being hit by Yale's arrow, the guy transformed his arms into wings and started flying.
”I can fly while you can't, I will win!”
The guy was about to start attacking when he received a kick. At the moment Yale saw the guy flying, he took out his wings to pursue him.
Yale had an advantage as he created the wings as extra limbs, while the other guy changes his arms for limbs. However, the other guy wasn't a weakling, he was at the 5-star Novice, just a realm under Yale and he was in the tenth position in the Rankings made by the experts.
If Yale had used a sword, killing him would have been easy, but he didn't want problems with the faction behind his opponent, so he didn't have any intention to kill.
”Flying? Can you fly? I have bad luck.”
After receiving Yale's kick, the guy just ran away flying. He knew that his chances of beating Yale were zero since the moment that Yale started to fly, but at least he was confident in being able to survive for some time or fleeing from Yale.
Yale started to chase him while shooting arrows, but the mobility in the air was far higher than in the ground, so he wasn't able to hit his opponent.
***
On the side of the spectators, almost everyone was focused on the six versus one battle of the most powerful participants; it was far more interesting than seeing Yale stealthy beating his opponents.
However, as Yale was someone favored by Sebe, people were also paying a bit of attention to him.
”Look, that kid has wings. Isn't he a wolf?”
Someone who didn't know Aiwai shouted that. Aiwai being a Frost Winged Wolf wasn't a secret, but as she didn't like to appear too much in front of others, besides the truly powerful people, the other people didn't know too much about her.
”He is a Frost Winged Wolf like his sister; you should have bought information about all the favorite participants before betting, is common sense.”
The city chief had sold information about the favorite participants after the bets started. It would be too unfair for normal people betting without any knowledge of the participants. The information about Yale was too scarce and was mostly related to being Aiwai's little brother; he was one of the most mysterious participants.
”Why? There is no doubt that the grandson of the city chief will win. Why bother knowing anything about the others?”
The city chief smiled while hearing that conversation among the other spectators, he was a bit worried since his grandson was battling six opponents at the same time, but hearing those words improved his mood.
Yale pursuing the other guy in the sky was a scene that didn't happen frequently, so it quickly started to catch more attention.
”Yale's archery is at the peak of the apprentice stage by how he shoots arrows, but hitting his opponent in the sky is still difficult with that level. Usually, stop bothering about that opponent would be the best choice, I don't understand Yale's intentions, but he doesn't seem to be someone who acts without thinking.”
Sebe was the one paying more attention to Yale after Aiwai and Wyba, and he noticed Yale's level of ability with archery without problems. However, he was confused about the reasons of Yale focusing in pursuing his opponent while shooting arrows.
