Yes, she did, she arrived at the place so minutes to the event starting, and Aiden imdiately noticed her as well. The mont she and her family opened the gate and stepped foot into the place...he noticed them.
Many of the chairs had been occupied, but there were still spaces for more people. As known, Ava was also aware that Aiden's dad was an average-ranked chief, he was the son of an official...she used it to tease him at school as well.
So not long after she and her family had stepped foot into the open space, she glanced at the special place secured for officials and their families as she had already noticed it...and though there were quite a people there, she noticed, Aiden.
There were other kids there, sons of the officials, boys the sa age as Aiden, but she still noticed, Aiden...
..She can never mistake his cute face for another.
The mont she and Aiden's eyes t, they smiled at each other...he was so happy to see her. Then they gave each other the look of 'We'll talk later' as well.
Then she focused her gaze on the front as she and her family began heading toward the chairs. Aiden was satisfied now, his two friends had arrived, that's Oliver and Ava...he can now enjoy this festival to the fullest, the upcoming tournant.
It was already getting very close to the ti when the new people arriving would have to go back...though there were still vacant chairs, they were close to getting filled up completely.
More chiefs and nobles were still arriving, they hadn't arrived finish yet...and as usual, so of them brought their knights along.
It had gotten to the ti for the festival to begin, for the tournants to begin, for the battles to begin. As known, there were certain rules for them to follow while battling themselves...they mustn't injure each other.
..Sure, they can hit each other, they must have to hit each other, it was a battle. They can cause each other pain, it was a battle, but they mustn't injure each other.
..It was a simple rule to follow.
And everyone that participates in the tournant would be rewarded, in fact, the participants already know themselves. But the victorious ones would receive more rewards.
The overseer of the tournant was already standing right on the field where the battles were gonna take place. He was a man dressed in black robe and a type of ancient cap on his head.
He was there to monitor the battles, to make sure they keep to the rules. He wouldn't be making comnts while they were battling themselves, he'll just be monitoring them.
Now, he was about to address the crowd before the battles begin. There wasn't anything like a microphone here that could make his voice louder without him having to stress himself. He was about to address a crowd, so he'll have to make his voice loud enough for them to hear.
He began speaking, "Thanks for being here everyone, thanks for coming. As known, this was a festival that does take place after the passing of so years just like other festivals. It is called 'The Battle Festival', and this year's own promises to be interesting,
The people that would be participating in this event have already been prepared. They are a group of young n that had already trained their powers and themselves, they've attended the academies ant for training benders, they are warriors,
There are rules they would have to follow in this tournant, things would happen if they don't follow those rules. The tournants would begin now. Give it up for the first two people that would be battling themselves this afternoon. A D-rank and an S-rank bender".
And making that last utterance, the man walked away from the field ushering in the two young n that would be battling themselves. A warrior with the fire affinity, and a warrior with the wind affinity.
The two n walked right straight into the field, they were dressed like warriors...they were dressed like Ethan. They had a scabbard each in their waists and wooden swords in them. With these swords, they wouldn't be able to injure each other that easily when using them.
The both of them were glancing at each other currently ready to fight. And at this mont, everyone's gazes were fixed on them, they were waiting for the battle to begin...it was gonna be exciting.
Aiden was also sitting in his seat waiting for the battle to begin. And apart from that...he had noticed sothing. He had noticed so of the daughters of the chiefs and nobles sitting with him at the special place...many of them were pretty.
..So were older than him, and so were the sa age as him.
Were they prettier than, Ava? The answer...so were prettier than her, and so were at the sa level of beauty as her though they were still kids.
At that mont, the overseer's voice resounded, "Fight!".
The two young n drew out the wooden swords from their scabbards, then the S-rank bender charged toward the D-rank bender with speed. The aim was to use his wooden sword to give his opponent a fake slash in the neck.
..Of course, it was a wooden sword, so he wouldn't be able to give him a real slash in the neck.
But the D-rank bender wouldn't let him slash him like that? All these are part of what would be counting to decide who'd defeat each other. The mont the S-rank bender reached where the D-rank bender was standing, he swung his wooden sword with speed to hit him in the neck.
But as said, the D-rank bender wouldn't let him slash him just like that? He had prepared ahead of ti, so the mont the S-rank bender reached where he was, before he could swing his sword to slash his neck...the D-rank bender moved back with speed.
..And the S-rank bender watched as his sword swung past with speed.
Then the D-rank bender ca with his attack. He threw a swift kick that was heading toward his opponent's chest. The S-rank bender was fast enough, so though the kick was swift, he still found a way to dodge it by moving back with speed.
The D-rank bender didn't stop, as the S-rank bender was moving back, he charged toward him intending to make use of his sword. He had already held it in a way that shows he was ready to swing it with speed.
So the mont he got closer to his opponent, he swung the sword with speed as it was heading toward his opponent's neck. There was no how the S-rank bender would be able to dodge this, he hadn't even gained his balance completely...the D-rank bender attacked really swiftly.
..He couldn't dodge the attack, he couldn't dodge the sword that was heading toward his neck, so he raised his sword with speed blocking the attack.
It was a close call, if not that he acted swiftly, the sword would have touched his neck...and the defeat would have already started.
The mont the D-rank bender's sword clashed with the S-rank's, he made use of that opportunity to gain his stamina completely, the S-rank bender gained his stamina.
Then with force, he pushed the D-rank bender's sword downwards causing his sword to face downward and almost fall off his hand. Then the S-rank bender made use of that opportunity as he thrust his sword forward heading toward the stomach of his opponent.
Before the D-rank bender could do anything, the sword touched his stomach causing him to move back a little and feel pain a little. Now, if it were a real sword, it would have pierced right straight into his stomach...and that would have been instant death for him.
..But it wasn't a real sword, they were making use of wooden swords for this reason.
But the S-rank bender had gotten one point at this mont, his sword touched his opponent's stomach, and he even moved back. That was one point for him, the defeat had already started.
The overseer imdiately recorded it at that mont, which was also part of his job in this festival. Apart from monitoring their battles, he needed to be recording points as well. Anyone that gets to four points first is the winner...that is the victorious one.
..That was the main way they use in deciding who ca out victorious among two warriors who battles themselves.
The crowd had been watching the battle from when it began till where it is right now, and they were enjoying it...it was for their entertainnt.
..And at this mont, so people in the crowd were already rooting for soone among the two warriors that were battling themselves.
