Chapter 7: Unforeseen Tournament Contest

It ended with a tie.

The shock could not be contained.

Everyone watching let out multiple awes and shock sounds. They have never seen a battle like this. But it was even more shocking for the person that Tymol was fighting was Mitchiel.

Everyone that was watching wondered about one thing. Since when did Mitchiel learn to dodge like that?

This was the first time anyone had seen this side to Mitchiel. In their memory, he was always a disgusting freeloader, but now, after witnessing this fight, their opinion of him have changed.

They no longer saw him as this disgusting bug, but now as someone that could possibly have some kind of talent or merit.

They immediately proceeded to lift his body up. Of course they didn’t forget about their number one pride and joy, Tymol.

Everyone helped carried the two young man to their respective households, the children that were running around previously went ahead to the two fighter’s household to tell them the news.

One household was shocked for a moment, got their wits back to themselves and went to find medicine to use in a hurry. The other household was also shocked, but not in the same manner as the other.

While the other was in shocked and happiness at the same time, this particular household was in complete disbelief. They were all wondering one thing. How did that happen? How could their son have lost to that stupid brat-what’s-his-name-trashy-something-hiel-whatever-his-name-is.

The older brother of Tymol as well as the father and mother and some of the other pupils left their mansion and made their way to where the battle took place. They, of course, carried medicine.

They were sure that whatever happened could not have been what happened.

-----------------------------------

The other household on the other hand, the family members were out of town, therefore only the butlers and maids were there.

After being noticed of the battle, one of the butlers stayed at the mansion, he wrote something in a piece of paper, and made some hand seals.

Right after doing the hand seals, a bird appeared, and the butler [the same one that caught Mitchiel and Sylvia hugging each other in the kitchen] gave the bird the letter. The bird flew as fast as it could in the air.

The other butler and the three maids rushed to where the battle happened. They saw their young master, Mitchiel-sama being carried by the people of the neighborhood to them. They thanked them and did not hesitate for a moment to give him medicine.

They put three pills of medicine inside Mitchiel’s mouth and made him swallow it, albeit unconscious.

------------------------------------------

The same happened to Tymol, though instead of the maids putting the medicine pills in his mouth, the disciples did.

The two households looked at each other with scorn. They were never in the best relationships but this was just too much this time.

Both houses were competitors.

Mitchiel’s house was not proficient with making great wizards and martial artists, but they did produce some.

While, Tymol’s house is the best when it comes to producing martial artists, but not at all with wizards. And they are also working on creating a business market.

So even though the two different household hold some similarities, they never got along. They passively disliked each other.

They always thought the other was after their disciples, or their business. And even though, both houses never harmed the other or took disciples of each other, or stole each other’s businesses, suspicions still lied.

With one family member from each side gravely injured like this, things will not remain so silent. Even though, both houses ignored the fact that Tymol was bullying Mitchiel every once in a while a week, they never disputed over the fact.

They had some sort of unspoken understanding.

As long as our sons never really get injured or die, we will keep a blind eye. But now, with multiple blood vessels broken and the [Lightning Piercing Strike Attack]’s other aspect revealed to outsiders, and the fact that the battle ended with a tie, that agreement just went down the rubble.

Both houses will not let this slide.

One house will have smiles and celebrate tonight, the other will have sullen expressions and gloom.

----------------------

With the Young Adult Martial Arts Competition for this year drawing nearer and nearer, the houses will send their most powerful and brightest to participate. And with Tymol’s brother having to go on a business trip on that date, the Gyphos Clan was counting on Tymol to bring them more honor.

But with the situation as it is, they need to make a plan or their son’s reputation will plummet. To save their son, they decided on a course of action.

They will force the other household to send Mitchiel to the YAMAC or else, the household will have to deny their son [Mitchiel]’s tie against Tymol.

This was a direct attack at Mitchiel’s household’s honor.

On one hand, they would want to celebrate the fact that Mitchiel got a tie in a fight with Tymol (someone so much stronger than him, someone that even managed to get nineteenth place in the YAMAC).

But on the other hand, they also don’t know whether or not Mitchiel’s tie was a fluke or luck, or some sort of paranormal miracle that only happens once in an entire lifetime.

This was the situation left to Mitchiel’s household. Deny the fact that Mitchiel got a tie against Tymol or embarrass themselves even more by sending Mitchiel as one of their representatives in the YAMAC.
