Chapter 14

A Summer Vow

The CRACK of swords sounded throughout the great Stadion, followed by the deafening roar of the crowd. Availia was in the final round, competing against the tall skinny boy named Renkins, who had trained under Heinrich. Stanley paced back and forth on one side of the ring, shouting tactical advice to Availia. Keavy, using his great size as a deterrent, kept the admiring fans at bay.

Renkins lunged his sword toward Availia, but was deflected downward. He continued the momentum of his blade in a full circle and jumped high, unleashing a powerful overhead strike. Availia did her best to block, but the violent blow knocked her flat on her back. Her head bounced, sending her helmet rolling. Seeing his opponent down, Renkins quickly scrambled toward his prey, and toward victory. He leaped and swung wildly at Availia’s unprotected face.

Magnus, seeing a possible disaster, started toward the two combatants, but it was too late. Renkins’ sword was inches from Availia’s head. She rolled to avoid the strike at the last moment and got to her feet. Renkins, now unbalanced and on the ground, was completely exposed to Availia. But instead of taking the shot, she slowly composed herself, picked up her helmet and calmly fitted it back to her head. The crowd went mad with delight. They roared as the Tanbe daughter disregarded Renkins’ scorn for the rules and left him on the ground in shame. He composed himself and stumbled to his feet. Embarrassed, he adjusted his own helmet. Magnus quickly stepped in and had a word with the boy as Availia gave a small wave to the crowd. They ate it up as they roared and hollered. Keavy was now physically restraining the more adamant admirers from swarming the ring.

“WEEL, GIE OAN WI’ IT ‘EN, MAGNUS!” yelled Keavy over the roaring.

Magnus gave the signal for the match to continue and the Tanbe daughter whirled with sword extended, slapping Renkins on the back. She then followed up with a downward strike on the back of his leg, bringing him to one knee. She finished the move by spinning again, executing a controlled upward swing that stopped just short of Renkins’ chin. Renkins slowly put his hands up and dropped his sword in submission.

The crowd was ecstatic. Stanley clapped his hands together as Magnus happily awarded Availia the victory. Stanley was separated from Availia as the mob of students and admirers broke past Keavy and swarmed their new champion. Red’s voice echoed through the great Stadion, announcing Availia’s victory. He rambled on about how it was the first time in many years that any alchemy student had won the Summer Sword.

Ethan and Auren strode down the stairs and entered the arena. They quickly found Stanley, who was collecting Availia’s armor and sword. They hurried over to him, but were assailed by Keavy.

“Whit ur ye wee ones daein’ haur? Did ye gie th’ ne alchemist? Hae ye spoken tae Edison yit?” barraged Keavy. “Weel … oot wi’ it alreddy!”

“Yeah — we got the new alchemist,” replied Ethan.
