Chapter 152: Sky Persecution

“Oh, Yale is really good with the sword, he should be at the expert stage.”

Sebe didn’t fail to notice Yale’s ability with the sword, for a kid of Yale’s age, that was considered something very remarkable.

Besides the pig-man who wanted to disappear due to the shame, the other people at the Elder Rank were surprised by Yale’s performance. Since Yale had battled only with arrows, they hadn’t thought that he was even more skilled in melee battle.

In power level terms, Yale and the pig-guy were both in the Top 10, but although both had the same realm, everyone considered the pig-guy stronger than Yale due to being older and bigger.

The experts at the Elder Rank had made their rankings before the start of the training camp; the first was without doubts the guy with goat horns and following him there were other six guys with a realm higher than Yale.

The pig-guy was in the eight position while Yale in the ninth, that was a very good position given the age everyone thought Yale had as all the others ahead of him were at the age limit.

Of course, that was only a ranking made by them based in the practice level; it hadn’t any relation with the true results as the eight position in their ranking ended merely in the Top 50.

“The training camp is turning interesting, what if we made some bets about the winner?”

As Sebe said that, everyone nodded because they wanted to bet about the results since the start, they just restrained themselves fearing that betting would be something Sebe wouldn’t like.

“I will bet for my grandson, and you prince Sebe?”

The city chief was the first who spoke, and no one was surprised by his bet as his grandson was the strongest and the favorite to win.

“I will bet for Yale.”

The others wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare; they had noticed that Sebe had developed some kind of friendship towards Yale, so it was normal that he betted for him although everyone considered that the chances of Yale winning were zero.

***

After beating the pig-guy, Yale took out his bow and shot two arrows guided by his Spiritual Sense.

The short battle he had with the pig-guy had attracted two other guys who wanted to take advantage of the fight and beat the winner, but after being hit by Yale’s controlled arrows, they broke their tokens instantly as they understood that Yale was someone who could kill them if they dared to battle against him.

The battles were the first reason to attract other participants, those who battled for some time had more chances to be tired and turn into an easy objective. Sadly for those two Yale wasn’t tired at all.

Usually, with Yale’s style of beating others, he wouldn’t attract anyone. That was the greatest point of finishing his opponents quickly.

In the training camp, using the Spiritual Sense too much could lead stronger people to find you, but Yale was using the Mapping function to check the position of the others.

Thus, he could find those who were weaker than him while avoiding those stronger, giving him a great advantage. Through the Mapping function, he noticed that there were only seven participants stronger than him, and they were all together.

Six of them had joined hands to attack the guy with goat horns; he was the strongest, and the other six didn’t feel that they could win in a one versus one battle against him.

Yale didn’t have any plan to near them because even if they managed to beat the guy with goat horns, they would start battle among themselves just after that and there were still too many participants left, the chances of ending in a bad position were too high.

Yale forgot about those seven and continued with his method to beat opponents; archery combined with the Mapping function was fearsome. If instead of a forest the opponents were in a place with fewer obstacles, Yale would be able to beat them from even more distance; although those with great mobility would have more chances to avoid him, the weaklings would be ended at higher speed.

A few minutes later, Yale received the notification about having reached the Top 25, and the signal appeared on the sky.

It was as Aiwai had said, even without time limit, the training camp wouldn’t last for too long. After all, most of the participants just broke the tokens without offering any fight.

No one would blame them as there was a lack of healers, and pills were expensive for those with poor backgrounds. Healing an arrow’s wound in their legs wasn’t difficult as it would heal naturally or with low-rank pills, but if they were heavily injured in a battle, they would end up dying due to the lack of healing. The training camp wasn’t important enough to risk their lives.

However, there was always someone who wouldn’t abandon just by being injured, and Yale found one of them. As the number of participants fell, the ones who remained were also stronger and had more ambition.

“Don’t think that a mere wound in the leg will stop me.”

After being hit by Yale’s arrow, the guy transformed his arms into wings and started flying.

“I can fly while you can’t, I will win!”

The guy was about to start attacking when he received a kick. At the moment Yale saw the guy flying, he took out his wings to pursue him.

Yale had an advantage as he created the wings as extra limbs, while the other guy changes his arms for limbs. However, the other guy wasn’t a weakling, he was at the 5-star Novice, just a realm under Yale and he was in the tenth position in the Rankings made by the experts.

If Yale had used a sword, killing him would have been easy, but he didn’t want problems with the faction behind his opponent, so he didn’t have any intention to kill.

“Flying? Can you fly? I have bad luck.”

After receiving Yale’s kick, the guy just ran away flying. He knew that his chances of beating Yale were zero since the moment that Yale started to fly, but at least he was confident in being able to survive for some time or fleeing from Yale.

Yale started to chase him while shooting arrows, but the mobility in the air was far higher than in the ground, so he wasn’t able to hit his opponent.

***

On the side of the spectators, almost everyone was focused on the six versus one battle of the most powerful participants; it was far more interesting than seeing Yale stealthy beating his opponents.

However, as Yale was someone favored by Sebe, people were also paying a bit of attention to him.

“Look, that kid has wings. Isn’t he a wolf?”

Someone who didn’t know Aiwai shouted that. Aiwai being a Frost Winged Wolf wasn’t a secret, but as she didn’t like to appear too much in front of others, besides the truly powerful people, the other people didn’t know too much about her.

“He is a Frost Winged Wolf like his sister; you should have bought information about all the favorite participants before betting, is common sense.”

The city chief had sold information about the favorite participants after the bets started. It would be too unfair for normal people betting without any knowledge of the participants. The information about Yale was too scarce and was mostly related to being Aiwai’s little brother; he was one of the most mysterious participants.

“Why? There is no doubt that the grandson of the city chief will win. Why bother knowing anything about the others?”

The city chief smiled while hearing that conversation among the other spectators, he was a bit worried since his grandson was battling six opponents at the same time, but hearing those words improved his mood.

Yale pursuing the other guy in the sky was a scene that didn’t happen frequently, so it quickly started to catch more attention.

“Yale’s archery is at the peak of the apprentice stage by how he shoots arrows, but hitting his opponent in the sky is still difficult with that level. Usually, stop bothering about that opponent would be the best choice, I don’t understand Yale’s intentions, but he doesn’t seem to be someone who acts without thinking.”

Sebe was the one paying more attention to Yale after Aiwai and Wyba, and he noticed Yale’s level of ability with archery without problems. However, he was confused about the reasons of Yale focusing in pursuing his opponent while shooting arrows.
