Despite the drop off his performance, he kept punching the rock harder and harder until it was finally tiny minerals on the ground, which made the crowd applauded him happily. He wasn't even conscious of when he should stop until the judge had to give a signal. He stood straight with his heads up, as the pupils all got enticed by his enormous performance. He had succeeded in going through the second challenge and he was sure he could see the scorn on the SU clan faces, as they watch him come out victorious in the second challenge. It was like they underrated him so much that they didn't believe he could do this fine.As they got in line for the next challenge, lugard noticed a change in his body system. He wasn't feeling the electrifying energy, flowing intensely in him again. Instead, it was flowing like a weak current.He quickly clicked on his stats board to check his energy level and was shocked to discover he was on low energy.' Fuck !' He cursed. This was his fault. He had fai
These are ancient monsters called "manipulus" which means, manipulation in Latin. As you fight, you are gonna hear them talk in your head, trying to convince you to jump down to them. If you do, you loose. They are very manipulative and can use your weakness to achieve their aim, but whatever it is, I want you to know that it's all in your head and you can only conquer if you keep your balance and empty your mind. Good luck," The old mage replied and walked back to his seat.Lugard scoffed on hearing what he said, as he felt like he had no weaknesses that the creatures could use against him. He could do anything now at ease and not fear the unknown.As soon as the bell rang to resume the contest, Sofie attacked with her sword aggressively while lugard defended himself with his. He was trying to take it easy on her considering the fact that he was now in a challenge with a lady, but it seems that wasn't the case with Sofie, as she fought him with hate in her eyes. The both competitors
There was a scream in the crowd as they watch him fall into the deep cliff; heading towards the monsters when surprisingly, when they thought he was down already, they saw him on the back of a giant creature with mighty wings which slowly flew him out of the dark pitIt was the ancient dragon.(The monster king) Everyone opened their mouth as they stared at the monster King and its horrible looks. Some began to tremble in fear as they remember the terror it has cost in the entire earth realm some days back. The monster flew lugard out of the competition while his opponents watched in complete esctacy." This is against the rule. He broke the rule," The SU clan agitated in anger as he disappeared from the competition ground into thin air.*******Lugard eyes opened his eyes to find himself in a room covered with Medical facilities, and a bed that was a little bit uncomfortable. He struggles to sit up, but felt a really strong headache that made him cringe. As he tries to lift his right
" Hey, princess..." He greeted"Hello lugard" She responded in a calm and soft voice that's so soothing to the ears" Good day my princess," His friends greeted her uniformly as they bowed their heads and she just nodded to their greeting while her eyes was still on lugard, who was laying on the bed with a support to his head." what are you doing here, stacy ?" He asked" Aren't you happy to see me ? hope I didn't interrupt anything ?" She responded with a shrug." No no no no. Not at all. "" Well I heard what happened during the competition and I came to see you." She said and gestured her maids to leave the room. Lugard also gestured his friends too and they hesitantly left the room sadly, leaving just him and the princess alone." How are you feeling now, hope you weren't hurt badly," The princess continued." Well, my head still hurts but I think am getting better. Please come have a seat." He said to her, pointing to the seat next to his bed but disagreed." No dear, I'm good.
"After reaching the top of the tree, he began jumping from branch to branch with all the strength he could muster. He wasn't fast or precise with his jumps, as he still found the jumping test to be as difficult as any other human. Despite the injuries and pain he sustained from the tree, he continued to persevere.As the test goes on, he slowly started to gain momentum and speed as he jumps on tree's. He started feeling energy flowing down to his legs and building up there massively. His arms wasn't left out of the healing process, as the pain he felt slowly began to vanish and being replaced with an energy that was enough to break the giant trees. He was gradually gaining his power back ! The energy force in his body soon began to give him speed, allowing him to carry out the task like a flash of light. in the process of the task, hia dashboard began reading very fast and it was obvious the faster the effort he puts in, the faster the pressure counts. His speed was so much that a
The royal guards escourted princess Stacy out of the hall the moment the SU clan had left angrily, and lugard followed immediately to avoid questions and so many talks from people that might anger him more. Then, the hall became rowdy with everyone having an opinion of what just happened." Hey, Stacy " He called out to the princess who was heading for the Royal chariot, and she paused." Hey lugard," She replied softly, waiting for him." That was crazy. Never believed you could pull off something like that," He said when he got closer to her " I told you yesterday that I could. Don't listen to what those guys said in there. It's just a way to kill your spirit. I have given you the chance to redeem yourself. Go practice more, and kick their assess tomorrow, okay ?" She said and left him with a smile. Lugard didn't move an inch as he watches her get into the chariot and rode away, until she was completely out of sight.****A RE-MATCH ( THIRD TEMPTATION)Everyone was gathered once ag
The pupils of the magic School all praised his name in jubilation. They had gotten a new winner; someone who they felt deserved it more. Lugard didn't see this much praises yesterday when the SU clan were about to be crowned Most powerful and influential . The influence he had on the pupils was really obvious.The moment he left the bridge, they rushed and carried him up like a champion. They didn't even drop him until they got to the schools event hall, where the crowning ceremony would take place immediately. As the praises continued, he sighted princess Stacy who was watching afar with a smile. She didn't come anywhere near him amidst the excitement, but he could tell she was really happy for his achievement. A special seat was given to him in the hall and without wasting time, the ceremony started with a ceremonial song for champions, presented by the school choir; While lugard was being dressed in a ceremonial robe.The host took a mic after the muscial performance, to introduce
Dinner with the king last night was a memory to remember with great experience. Lugard enjoyed the different delicacies which was presented to him and the tastes were really nice. Some traditional beautiful female dancers, were made to perform for them, which was a culture each time the king is having a special guest.Lord Morgan didn't ask much questions, most especially about how lugard got his powers and the rest. instead, he spent more time in telling his experience and some thrilling stories that had happened in earth realm before lugard was born.This made the dinner much comfortable for him; as he didn't bother about trying to avoid the kings question on how he got his powers.The dinner ended well, and even though he was happy, he still wasn't comfortable as princess Stacy never had the dinner with him. He felt he owes her so much appreciation for giving him a chance to redeem himself.***Since when lugard returned to earth realm, he had been trying everything possible to go ba
Lugard nodded to what the Fire Master had told him, and they moved to the next level. A candle was ignited, and from it, all four fire-benders took turns forming fiery creatures for Lugard to see. They did this effortlessly, making it seem like no big deal at all.After they were done, it was time for Lugard to show his skill."Now, it's your turn. Try with a small creature; don't go for something too big like a dragon. Your energy might not be able to sustain it," the Fire Master said.Shutting his eyes, Lugard maintained the stance he had observed. He visualized the image he wanted to create in his head. Shortly, an energy link formed, which he successfully directed to his stomach. Suddenly, he felt the energy building up rapidly, creating a burning sensation inside him. Before he could fully grasp what was happening, the energy surged up to his chest at an intense speed and got stuck in his throat, threatening to burst out. He did his best to maintain his balance. Finally, he relea
Moving on to the next skill, the fire-benders stood at both of his sides, with Lugard in the middle. The grand master(fire-master), started. "In the world of magic, there are 7 chakras in the body. These chakras are an embodiment that allows the flow and regulation of energy force in the body, making magic possible."1st chakra is located in the head.""2nd chakra is located at the neck.""3rd chakra is located at the chest.""4th chakra is located at the abdomen-navel region.""5th chakra is at your sexual organ: a very difficult chakra to conquer/work with.""6th chakra is at the knee region.""And the 7th chakra is at the toes."All these chakras have their respective purposes in any of the four elements (fire, water, air, and earth), but the ones most concerned with the fire element are the 1st, 3rd, and 4th chakras.The 1st chakra, which is also called the head chakra, has the purpose of imagining the kind of creature you want to form out of fire. Our imaginations are powerful, a
Waking up to another fresh day, or hours as they call it, since the kingdom doesn't experience night, Lugard had his breakfast alone in his apartment and took a bath as he prepared for his training. This phase of training was for the fire element, which he had pondered on before going to bed last night.Dressed in his red uniform and ready for rehearsals, he stepped out of his apartment and saw Princess Suwiya standing at the door. Beside her were two of her maids, beautifully dressed in their servant uniforms."Greetings, chosen one," she bowed respectfully."Hey, good day, Princess. Is it good day? How do I greet in a kingdom that doesn't experience night?" he asked with a smile."Just say good day. Because we don't experience night doesn't mean we don't have a new day here. Our time tells us when the day starts and ends," she replied, her lips parting with a smile. Lugard stared at her, admiring her colorful gown adorned with diamonds and her beautiful brown hair folded into a pony
" Lugard, are you Okay ? " Princess suwiya rushed to Lugard who was groaning on the ground in pain. Still unconscious of his surrounding, she laid her hands on his chest and he suddenly regained consciousness, realizing he was now in the kingdom of Nysia. They quickly carried him out of the cave, headed back to the field where they lay him to rest under a small tree. " What happened ? " she asked him, surrounded by the traditional musicians. Lugard struggled to speak for a moment before managing, " I met with the fire god, and-----" he paused when he felt a strong headache, sighing in pain. " Sorry," the princess said, concerned, " Can you explain to me what happened over there now ? " She curiously asked, but he shook his head. " No, I don't want to talk about it. I'll just have to keep it to myself," lugard replied. " Are you You are sure? Your experience would be very helpful to us, lugard. We could explain its meaning if you tell us," she tried to convince him to but he
" Why have you come to my presence?" The voice of the fire god thundered in the room, and Lugard could feel the vibration coursing through his feet. The voice was so powerful that he didn't need someone to tell him he was speaking to the supreme God of the fire element."I want to learn how to manipulate the fire element, and I was told I can't do it without your help, so I have come to seek it," Lugard said, slightly bowing his head in honor of the god sitting in front of him with such pride."Of what use is the fire element to you?" He asked, and Lugard replied, "I will use it in fighting against the lycans, bringing peace to the land of Nysia."Upon hearing this, the fire god shook his head negatively and stamped his left foot on the ground. "Why do you feel attacking the lycans would solve the problem in the kingdom of Nysia? Why do you also feel like they are the cause of the problem in the kingdom of Nysia?" He asked Lugard, who went mute for a minute as he pondered the question
Sitting in a narrow road with towering buildings ablazed, he rose to his feet and ventured into the city The whole city was in complete desolation. Dark, not even the moon decides to shine its light. The intense fire consuming the big buildings around him was the only source of light that aids him to see around. As he walked around trying to figure out where he was, he couldn't even set his eyes on a single soul or at least, a corpse laying dead on the ground. Everywhere was deserted. It was a city of no people but just darkness and destruction.' Did world war three happened here ?' he pondered aloud After covering a distance of 2 kilometers, he reached a path leading to a giant wall, which seems to be the end of the journey on the path he was threading on. On the wall was a small door, carved out, with the inscription , PUSH OPEN!Lugard walked towards the door, putting his hand on the handle and slightly pushes the door open. He peeked inside and his eyes fell on an empty room,
Lugard stared around in fascination, admiring the portable, but beautiful room they just entered." Wow, this whole room is inside a tree ? " With a sense of awe, he said." Yes, it is ," princess suwiya replied. As he carefully move around the room studying it properly, he could see so many magical training kits ranging from shoes, uniforms, spell books, and even some strange equipments, properly arranged accordingly on the shelves. But his fascination was more on the small tree they entered that's a body of such a big room." How's a small tree this big in the inside to form a room ? How did you guys build this ? " Lugard asked the princess," You should know that already, Lugard. That's the power of magic," The princess said, and he nodded his head saying " It's nice ,"" Yeah, and that's why you need to learn magic too so you could create fascinating things also," She said, reaching out for two pairs of uniforms hanging on the shelve." Which of the colour do you prefer, Red or blu
King motanna finally left lugard in the care of the palace maid who directed him to his room, where he would freshen up and have a meal.Upon entering the room upstairs, he eyes widened, as the room initially in total darkness, became illuminated the moment he stepped in. The room was tastefully decorated in a kind of style that depicts royalty. The walls, floor and ceiling were made in graphite, and the alluring smell that ravished the entire room was that of a sweet lavender flower." Is this room all mine ?" he turned to ask the maid who was humbly standing at his back, watching him have an observation of the room." Yes, but if you don't like it, I can show you another one. That's the reason I'm her--" Are you kidding me ? I love it ! " He interrupted her excitedly. Seeing that he was comfortable with the room, she maid asked further..." Okay, sir. will you want to eat now ? " She asked." Yes, but I will like to have a shower first. Leave it till ten minutes from now," he repl
Everyone shouted in shock as they saw Sua's remains on the ground in a pool of blood while the monster growled. Lugard felt intense anger coursing through his veins, fueled by the sight of Sua's remains. Suddenly, the lycans emerged in numbers and launched an attack on the elves.Princess Suwiya glided her hand over her dress and miraculously summoned a light that transformed into a sword, joining the fight. Lugard took out his sword to join the battle, but he was too slow. The fight between the lycans and the elves was difficult for Lugard to comprehend. They moved at such a great speed that the ordinary eye couldn't properly capture. All he could see were creatures moving like wind and light."Stay close to me so I can protect you," the princess said when she saw how dumbfounded he was by the sight of the war, but Lugard disagreed."No, don't worry. I can handle this on my own," he said, scanning the scene cautiously. Confused about what to do, his system suddenly awakened.Ding: SY
