CHAPTER 22 - FORCE

Keeping calm and regaining her focus she leapt into that state.

This was the first time she had entered in her weeks of training, the world felt different in her eyes, although not much she could beckon the wind to her aid.

She felt strength overflowing in her body, her eyes were unimaginably clear and so was her perception, she could even feel or see everything around her even her back while not moving, although limited to a small area.

Her strength and speed have crossed the awakener mark, in this state, she was as strong as an awakener, and the city lord stood in shock.

A mage! That is a mage…

So someone finally had the talent to become a mage in this poor city.

"Her master must be around watching the fight," he thought.

He as the city lord knew about the qualifications needed to become a mage, even he fell short of it.

That was why each year they looked for talented children, the ones who had awakened a talent and sent them to another city in the hopes of them becoming a mage.

This year the only ones who had shown that they had awakened a talent were Daniel, Micheal, and the alchemist Scarlett.

Now Anita has revealed a talent that far surpassed what each of them had shown.

Their city was truly lucky this year for three talented geniuses to come up, their golden age was about to arrive.

Back to the fight, Daniel didn't know what happened, he just felt Anita's power triple and felt like she could rival the academy teachers.

While he was still thinking he saw Anita disappear, not teleporting but disappearing, she moved at speeds his eyes couldn't track.

Bam!…

He felt it clearly, that punch connected, he didn't fly away from the force of the punch, no he stood his ground as he transferred part of the force to the floor.

Crack…

The stage cracked below him confusing the crowd, as he was about to retaliate by sending another punch she was no longer there.

Boom!…

Another punch hit him in the face then he had an alarming thought, what if she could release these punches at crazy speed and she was just holding back for the moment?

Now Daniel knew one very obvious weakness of his; speed.

He lacked speed, and although he had become a little faster over the two weeks of training that measly increase in his speed was meaningless in this match.

Then she truly started taking it seriously, Anita stared at Daniel as she knew she was about to win.

When she entered the state she couldn't control the power brimming in her body, which was why she only attacked twice in that period.

But now she had gotten a hang of it and started taking it seriously because after five minutes she would leave that mode.

She threw three punches every second and him, sometimes even kicking him, but Daniel stood strong as he endured her attacks.

Anita was starting to despair, two minutes had passed and no matter the number of punches she threw at him he still stood standing using his arm guards to protect himself.

Daniel on the other hand was feeling unbearable pain, the forces of the attack from Anita were transferred to the ground and a little in his body.

But in just two minutes she had thrown punches relentlessly, and a part of that force just started accumulating in his body until it reached an unbearable state for him.

He had to let it out, he had to attack or his body would be destroyed.

Making that conclusion he stopped defending and removed his arms from his face.

Anita finally saw his face after she started raining down punches on him, some parts of his face were swollen with him bleeding at other parts.

Her despair turned into joy, she had thought Daniel had been tanking all the attacks thrown at him with minimal damage, but from what she had seen, the damage he had been taking was bad.

She didn't know about the large amount of force threatening to destroy Daniel's body if he didn't attack, she thought her attacks went through.

She smiled as she saw Daniel drop his guard and immediately attacked.

He took another hit to the face and responded with his own attack.

Bangggggg!!!…..

The whole coliseum shook, Anita stood in shock, pale-faced as sweat drenched her back.

Even the crowd felt the force of that attack, some of the people sitting at the edge had already fainted in front of the power that left his fists.

Daniel stood as he looked at his arm, it was badly mutilated as pieces of flesh stuck out from it and his fingers were disfigured.

At the sight of this he laughed, he not only laughed at the pain, but his technique also, he had created something disastrous just by looking at the wounds on his arms.

It made him wonder, what if his body was stronger and he could accumulate more force in his body wouldn't this level of strength just be paltry to him?

Anita saw him laughing and woke from the shock she just received, she knew if that punch landed on her she would be dead, there wouldn't even be an extra second of life for her just instant death.

But then she saw Daniel's arm, she knew he had a considerable amount of damage just for that one punch.

She was still confused as to why he was still laughing even at the tremendous pain he was facing.

Daniel didn't mind and laughed even harder to the point that tears were coming out of his eyes.

The crowd looked at him as if he had gone crazy, they could all see his mutilated arm, but he the owner of the arm laughed like a maniac when he saw it.

Daniel didn't care about the looks he was getting from the crowds, he had achieved a breakthrough in his technique but he was too weak to implement in right now.

He had realized something, Force is the cause of motion or change, and there is motion everywhere.

The wind blowing is a kind of force, him walking force is applied, and coming in contact with another object force was applied although this was minuscule compared to the force used to throw a punch or kick it proved something to him.

Force is everywhere.
