Fengbao

The three battle, and numerous attacks were launched from either side. On the right it was either casted by Orchid or materialized by Racquel, there were some instances where joint attacks happened making a stronger much larger synchronized attack but Jake thwarted all of them, able to counter everything. They were relentless trying to land their attacks but he was just too good he was not able to be cornered by even a single one of them.

Both Orchid and Racquel didn't give in as they continued with multiple combos, both in sync as Racquel would send attacks, Orchid would support her in either boosting or creating illusions in an attempt to confuse Jake. The way they had fought it seemed like the pair had trained together for years, but for them, it was just that they were so used to each other they knew what the other was thinking.

At one point Orchid mustered up enough magic to make several mist clones of Racquel and they all joined in a synchronized attack.

To their response, Jake blew the entire crowd of clones with lightning summoned from the heavy dark clouds that laid above them.

"Nothing else but clones?" Jake asks at him, as the mist from the clones settle.

Orchid looks at him annoyed, he realizes that all he could do were these very mediocre spells but what else could he do the only thing he learned was healing spells, he couldn't heal Jake to death could he? If he could he would have started with that.

He whispered to Racquel,

"Sorry, this is all I can do..." he looks solemn as the word pass his parted lips.

"Orchid don't tell me you look down on us too, you should know better than anyone we can pack a punch if we wanted too." she punched him with eyes of conviction

He smiles slightly and nods in response, it will never stop, these comments will keep coming but as long as he knew the truth, that is all he needs to reassure himself, he doesn't have the right to look down on them or himself, not on those people and not to his mother's son. He knows one day they will look at them differently and he will be one to make them do so. His eyes gleamed with confidence in an instance and all he needed were those words of encouragement that really didn't seem like a lot but did at the same time.

Orchid slams both of his palms together to transmute as much natural energy into magic, Jake notices this and braces to slash him into 2 with the same move earlier but as if once Racquel intercepts and distracts him giving the white hair some time.

Racquel and Jake's sword meet, again and again, sparks fly as the blades kiss each other in a volley of strikes. Racquel dives down to her knee and tries to slice Jake's bottom half but he manages to somersault avoiding the contact with her blade. The barrage of attacks from both sides goes on for a while.

'Is he done? I don't think I can hold him off myself' she tries to look back but instead gets prepared to counter another attack as the blonde rushes towards her yet again.

As they both meet swords, Orchid focuses on charging as much energy as he can. He opens his eyes in an instant as he reached his threshold ready to cast one more spell, but as he looks ahead he sees the hilt of Jakes's sword slamming into Racquel's gut, he was overwhelmed with feelings of rage, that with a mixture of exhaustion from his constant battle. If things did go as planned that would have been his last attack but he couldn't keep his consciousness intact as something enveloped him, taking over. A fog started to cloud his vision; Jake looks back at the white hair after knocking the girl down he grew warry as that white-haired kid standing in the distance felt different.

"Finally" he mumbles with a smile

"Bless me..." the unconscious figure announces

"Another illusion?"

"with power...." he says unwaveringly

Jake looked bemused

"I call upon you goddess, lend me your power"

As he finishes. Jake says,

"Was that it, that's all?" expecting something to happen

A sudden rise of mist engulfed the white hair. As it did he couldn't see the healer anymore...Jake charges and takes a swing to try and break the mist but it didn't work, it seemed to be too thick, he took another swing this time with a little more power, he still couldn't break through it.

The fog starts to form into a giant figure, as it starts to solidify the figure took shape into a six-handed goddess. The formation of the goddess was enchanting, it looked like an exact copy of the statue from the temple.

And as it fully took form, it took a swing at Jake, its giant hand launching to him, Jake prepares himself to counter it but gets swept away and hits the wall of the arena directly behind him, he coughs out blood as his back meets direct contact to the hard stone wall.

Instead of having a look of pain or fear his feature took on a look of delight, he wants this, he wants to fight whoever he can to become stronger. He needs to get stronger, without gaining more strength he won't be able to prove himself. He didn't want to be considered the soft one anymore, his mom was the only one who had his back but once she was gone, no one had his back, not his siblings or his dad and he had to grow on his own. The only thing he knew is the fact that if he was strong enough no one would be able to hurt him and he wouldn't have to rely on anyone anymore or get hurt when he loses them.

His smile grew larger as he got back on his feet, no matter how much he wanted to go full force he couldn't as it was just impossible for them to withstand the impact of his full force, it would have killed them from the start without giving them even the slightest chance to counter his blast of an attack. But now with this, he can put his all into it...

Just as he was about to unleash it he felt a sudden breeze that came out of nowhere it was subtle but it suddenly picked up, he was stagnant for a moment wondering as to where it was coming from.

That's when Racquel suddenly made another attempt looking as if he was not in focus but this time her attack was very sluggish so he didn't think much of it.

"How many times do I have to knock her down?" he mutters and just as he was about to finish the job he failed to do twice today the wind he felt earlier broke them apart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A gale separated the three of them and instantly diminished the six-handed form that Orchid unconsciously conjured up. The two look back as Orchid fell flat to the ground, they both saw a tall, muscular brown hair standing tall with a giant blue fan. The fan had engravings on its guard and it was just as tall as him, there were Chinese characters written in dark blue paint on the lighter blue blades of the fan.

The man didn't look pleased with the sight he had been witnessing and he had to put a stop to it.

"Sir!" Jake says and salutes realizing who had suddenly made a appearance

"Older brother, wh..why are you here?" Racquel says right after him. She was shocked realizing that this is going to go far worse than it was previously intended to.

The man's look didn't fade, he looked at Racquel in a much-dissapointed manner but stared gruesomely at Jake.

Racquel's brother was known as a top-class warrior and had graduated early entering into the military 2 years prior to his supposed installment. He was well known amongst all warriors and had already climbed ranks a year upon entry and rumors are that he is most likely to supersede his father when he retires.

He is one of the four wielders of the 12 great weapons, his weapon was a fan and his power alone was considered to be equivalent to a hundred warrior personnel. But he only had one weakness which was his sister, he was well known to spoil his sister and had a real sister complex...in that sense, no one really caused any problems with her and any who would do so would really get it.

"Hearing the rumors I didn't anyone dared, knowing who I am..." he says coldly accompanied with eyes that were staring daggers at Jake.

"I heard you hurt my sister, Jake..." he unblades the fan and swings it blowing a softer towards Jake, even though this was much weaker than his previous strike it still made Jake winch as it was strong enough to make him lose his footing.

"I think you forget who she is and where she comes from..."

"Fortunately for you, your father has high influence in our politics, I would kill you right here and now if that weren't the case."

"And even that new toy you just got won't be able to save you..." Jake never cared for empty treats but he knew that the man in front of him was serious. He was the closest to become the next captain and as well is the current captain's oldest son.

"But I can't let you off the hook you see, I heard my sister broke her arm because of you...and no one hurts my sister..." Jake braced for impact as Racquel's brother carries his fan above his head...

"Illuminate this world by a great storm Fengbao," he announces as he swings his fan conjuring up a giant tornado that was making its way swiftly to Jake
