First battle.

A shout rang out. 'First round, Raoul versus Antonio, will be conducted in the firemount arena!'

( As you can probably see, this is the first fight of the aging ceremony. )

Shua! Shua!

Antonio and his opponent rushed to the firemount arena. A bearded man was standing in the arena currently. When they reached their respective places, he announced in a heavy voice, ' First you two will fight by utilising amber energy, then, as you two's supporting occupation is alchemist, you will refine a pill each. On the first period, the person to defeat the other would be the winner. On the second, the person who would be able to refine the highest graded pill will win. Now, Start the first period!'

' Dragon Creation Palm! '

' True Manifestation Eagle Strike! '

Both of them simultaneously called out their skill's names as they unleashed their strongest moves.

BANG!

An alarmingly strong energy ripple rang out. Both Raoul and Antonio were considered as geniuses in the tribe, so it was natural that they would show such abnormal strength. But, it's also true that on the face off it was clear that Antonio had the upper hand. His attack had a natural affinity with dragons, thus it brought out greater power. The battle continued for another one hour, but the identity of the person who was going to obtain victory was already clear. The first period of the first battle was won by Antonio as everyone expected. The bearded man announced, ' First period, round one ends. The winner is Antonio. '

Raoul gave an extremely angry gaze to Antonio as he spat out two words, ' This is not over. '
