19 Bai Long

The gate in front of me slowly opens and a figure slowly appears in the spotlight. My opponent was another man. But this man was different as I can feel from his aura that he is strong.

He has long silky white hair and sparkly eyes. His face is beautiful and he wears a white robe with gold chinese dragon design. His weapon is a sword by his waist. He reminds me of Alexandria because of his cold look and white features.

"My name is Bai Long" He greeted and connected his knuckle to his palm.

"Ah...Smiley" I tried to be polite as I copied his move. 'Is this a greeting in their homeland?' I thought as I watched him unsheath his sword.

I backed away creating some distance between us. I put my hand inside the magical bag and information about what's inside my bag enters my mind.

From my magical bag, I search for a sword similar to his sword. Inside the bag, I have 5 swords, 1 Orc axe, 3 normal axe, and 10 daggers or knives.

I choose the one sword which ironically looks closely similar to his sword. I grab the hilt and pulled it outside. The people gasps at the magical display like I'm some magician.

"Wooooo!" They even exclaimed loudly and clapped at my performance.

Bai Long took a basic stance and I took a basic stance that is similar to him. If there is something I'm proud to say to people then it's my amazing skill to imitate.

Living a life with no ability. A life so weak that I envy the people with powers. Why am I the only one with no cool power?! Searching far and wide on the Internet.

Then I came upon an innate ability which I'm proudly to represent my ancestors. The first humans. A skill that is naturally innate to humans. It is the skill.

Mimic.

Mimic is an innate ability to humans but this skill has reached greater heights because of me. This skill has helped me learn martial arts on the internet, Man it brings me to tears seeing, how I have worked hard in the past learning few martial arts.

At the start I was having a hard time mimicking but as I grow up, I feel that mimicking improved like breathing to me. So basically, I can copy Bai Long's movements IF he's in my line of sight. A human has a wide field of view so it's impossible to escape my sight.

But the only thing that beats this only skill of mine is teleportation. Imagine someone escaping your sight and suddenly feeling something stab your back. Seems I have a long way to go.

Me and Bai Long have been staring lately. I can see that Bai Long has no experience fighting someone identical to his style or himself. I see his eyebrows twitched for a second and show that he was having a hard time looking for weak spots.

When I mimic somebody, my eyes just really focused and I can notice the slightest movement. Because of this, I know what my opponent is thinking.

His first move is a slash coming to my sword. I didn't predict or read his mind. His movement just showed all of it.

*Clang!*

A battle of swords begun. Their arms were leaving blur figures and sparks were dancing between them. Luke has a big advantage of his overall strength and speed because of Nicholas, also his finger training helps him grip the hilt.

Unlike Luke, Bai Long was just a swordman with great skill in the sword and only has the body of an athlete. But Luke's mimic skill has just deleted it from the charts, erasing the only thing he was good at.

Luke doesn't notice it but he made a simple innate mimic of humans touched the levels of superpowers. Living a life of being surrounded by people with ability while having none, really obstruct one's sight of their own worth.

'Good, Very Good. But, what will you do once he activates his ability?' Nicholas thought.

"GO! SMILEY!" While Garen was at his side cheering Luke. His voice was equal to 10 people shouting loudly.

'Thank you Garen' Luke can clearly hear him from the distance while blocking some attacks here and there. Luke was slowly adapting as he added more strength in his grip and slashes more violently.

Bai Long was attacking and penetrating in any sides but Luke was swiftly following him in his sights, blocking and counterattacking with his attacks. Bai Long was slowly crumbling, he couldn't keep up his stand and was retreating more. Luke didn't let the opportunity pass and became more aggressive.

Then the battle snaps. Luke landed a cut on the left side of his waist. Bai Long retreated like his life depended on it and brings down his sword showing that he needs a break.

But Luke was merciless, he didn't give a shit about his secret signs or anything similar to that. He chased after him and with his superior speed he catches up.

But Bai Long stops and pointed the blade to Luke's face. Luke slashed away his sword and about to stab him when Bai Long surprisingly kicks the sword away and retreated back. Dodging by a hair's breathe of Luke's incoming slash to him.

'The kid activated his ability' Nicholas thought with a knowing look.

When someone is using an ability, their eyes glow and in front of me. Bai Long's eyes were glowing in cold silver.

"Huff~ Huff~...prepare to die" Bai Long said with exhaustion.
