Chapter 29: A Promised Fight

"Look, Pyra is there," Sunny pointed excitedly at the screen. Gramps blinked and noticed, "hey, you are right, lets hope she doesn't knew I set these cameras up," he gave a guilty smile.

Sunny scooched away from him.

Meanwhile, Eader and Adam were giving of blows, Eader was getting hit by the acid, specs of the, but multiple specs and a rare scratch, on the other hand, Eader was also doing damage smacking with the great stick, he got from Gramps, technically his master.

His sword made Adam's slide off which helped him, but he still had to move parts of his body because of a lack of know where to slide and how to use the technique.

Adam was arrogant but now he is trying and for Eader's lucky since Adam biggest strength is his acid, not his technique, so if a person with great technique fights him, he would be beaten, and Eader's sole focus is technique usage.

However, Eader's skills are not refined and newly discovered and he learned them himself, not Gramps teaching nor telling him, so he was still at a disadvantage. But Eader kept persevering. Adam went for a top slash in his right shoulder.

Boom!!

There was a large impact, which made the air around a bit warmer. It made the people watching leave the jaw wide open for a fly to go in. Proper good fights happened rarely and now there was almost a full circle around them, like a gladiator ring. When the impact hit Eader made a deduction.

His acid makes things warmer.

Eader was half correct, Adam's sword generated the heat, making the acid warmer and reaching a temperature close to its boiling point. Eader twisted his body and struck sideways. To Adam's surprise, he kept pushing down but in the twist he had also moved his body with good footing. Sunny gave a fist up.

Nice Eader.

Adam retaliated from the strike, avoiding it. However it put him in an awkward position, as his body was all bent. Eader saw the chance and kicked his leg, in a weird way, like stomping on a dropped strawberry.

He tried back but luckily got his leg to elevate him up, but it took Eader long enough to get back in position and smack down strong and hard on the front.

This knocked him far back leaving a dangerous mark on him, blood started coming out of the scar, but not much to be life threatening. He was on the floor, but he got back up, giving a face, a face with veins and heat, like a tomato about to explode.

Jennifer was watching the match, close to Samuel and the three girls. Then Evalynn remembered something, "aren't you with Adam?"

She looked at her, and it took her time to realise she was talking to her.

"Um, well, yes," she pointed her index fingers together, then Mythra looked at her and started to get nervous. Then she looked at Samuel, "can you tell me how you got those bruises?"

She gave a conveners look and added, "the truth please," the way she said was sterner and stable.

Jennifer gave a nervous look, but then looked at him and waved her hand in a circular motion. This disorientated him but Samuel nodded.

"So Eader was getting bullied by Adam while he was not realising it, so I stood up to them to stop, but then they beat me up."

His face was robust even though purple.

Mythra then spoke intimidatingly, "so why did you start bullying him?"

She got terrified but answered truthfully, "Um so, he talked bad about hi infront if him and he did not realise that he was Adam."

All looked blank. Pyra scoffed, Mythra tried hiding her smile but could not.

That guy better have said something good.

Evalynn smiled at the answer. Then Evalynn pointed her finger from Jennifer to Samuel. She nodded then turned her head, "I am sorry."

"It's ok, if you truly mean it," he said a bit embarrassed, "but I do need some new glasses," sighing in disbelief.

Mythra then got an idea, "if you are truly sorry then you should get him new glasses."

"Really?"

"Yep, if you want to forgive you have to prove it," she said proudly.

"Woah, that's so cool," she said flattering her.

"Isn't it?"

Liking the flattery she got from her.

Both Evalynn and Samuel figured something out, giving stupid faces.

She is a fan of Mythra.

She started speaking," I wonder why he is like that now?"

She blinked at him, not giving a fun remark after which the girls expected. They stayed silent as the wind blew.

Maybe to ridicule him?

Returning to the battle between Eader and Adam. Both did damage and both took damage. As the battle prolonged, Adam seemed to have the upper hand to everyone, as Eader took a large amount of damage as his whole body had rashes around, but not too severe.

However, his only strength is his acid and the magic heated sword.

To clarify, the acid was being seceded from his sword, it was not any magical power, his magical power was to heat things, but it is not that good, the heat did help produce more acid as the heat is an exothermic reaction, then it creates bonds with the small amount of acid and multiplies it (hard to understand, but) Eader got it, as he knew about his opponent, and went through all the ways to beat him.

Should I do an endothermic reaction? No, how do I make one?

Should I use alkaline? How do I get alkaline?

Eader was banging his head on how to beat him, but he found something out, the skilled people can see that Eader had the upper hand, why? Because of stamina. Eader had the low hand in almost everything, being a magicless person.

But he had stamina. In the videos, he noticed that Adam's matches always finished faster than average. So he is not used to fighting for long, and the pair have been fighting for longer than an average match.

On some rare occasions, they last hours, so a person who normally finishes a match after 10 minutes might be hard, and he does not seem to be the person who trains.

Eader ran slower at Adam and struck him; he could have easily dodged if it was the beginning of the match, however he blocked. This made Eader give a grand grin. Adam noticed and that angered him so he went for an uppercut with both hands on the sepal-like handle.

Eader easily dodged stepping back not striding. He aims for the temple on his next attack, so Adam quickly blocked it but too early and so he changed the trajectory and aimed for the hip.

SMACK!

Eader gave no mercy and made Adam wince in pain, but Eader also winced from all the burns. Adam moves back.

It's time to finish this.

The thought came with a huge sigh.

Eader read him perfectly.

OK then, let's do this.

He got in a strong stance, breathing out heavily. Then they rushed at each other, acid was getting generated as he sprinted. This made Eader move quicker, avoiding the spray attack.

What? He got faster.

He smashed hard but he blocked. Despite this, he had so much acid on him that the impact made multiple drops go on him, which hurt a lot. He has no immunity to the acid nor heat as you need to train to do that.

However, Adam retaliated very well and extremely professionally by crying and swinging his sword while his eyes were closed, very professional.

This gave them a chance to sneak attack, but he saw when his watery eyes opened. He moves back, grabs his sword with both hands, and strikes up and down doing a continuous strike. Eader grabbed his sword and Spun it around, blocking every attack.

He knocked the final hit up in the air with half force. And quickly struck him down on the whole body, making him fall.
