Chapter 15 - 15: End Of Tournament
The tournament continues, Amon was already the champion and he won 10 kg of level 20 animal meat along with a trophy and a gold medal.
The dispute for third place was between Julia Queiroz and Victor Weliton.
The referee said as soon as everyone returned and Victor and Julia climbed into the arena, “The two finalists have already climbed into the arena to fight for third place. In technical analysis, the power of the two are similar, but I particularly… Cough, let’s start the game!”
Julia didn’t run hastily, she analyzed Victor and began to make her genetic cells run in a balanced way to her feet and her right hand.
Victor acted, he ran towards Julia and jumped in the air then he conjured: “Earth needles!” They were sharp and fast when falling from above, it was a very smart thing to do, using gravity to increase the speed and power of the attack.
A larger proportion of water genes went towards Julia’s right foot, she used a lot of strength and ran; dodging the earth needles.
Then she changes direction, putting more water genetics on her left foot, and runs in the direction Victor was going down. She then did something that made Victor feel a bad omen.
She spun on her tiptoe like a ballerina and lashed out with the other leg like a weathervane!
“Bang!”
Victor crossed his arms over his chest to defend himself, but water genetics are the worst enemy of earth genetics, wetting the earth and breaking the defense. Julia did something even more amazing, she kicked off with her other foot and her kick broke Victor’s defense, slamming his jaw in the chin.
“Bang!”
Victor was too heavy to lift him easily with a kick, however, when Julia’s heel hit, it was strong enough to dislocate his jaw and send him flying 10 to 10 feet in the air and land with a “Thud!” on the ground, spitting blood.
Julia despairs, she didn’t want to overdo it, she just did what Amon taught her, or almost that; she added something else. However, she didn’t expect it to get so loud that she heard the sound of Victor’s jaw dislocate.
The doctors on duty soon went to Victor’s aid, but soon they sighed and said he’ll be fine. At the last minute he protected himself with the earth’s genetics, the effect was good enough to only dislocate the jaw and not break it.
But, he would need a few days to recover, even when water genetics was used to cure him.
If there were someone who could use light genetics, the effect would be a thousand times better. However, this type of person is almost non-existent, it is even rarer than using lightning.
The referee saw that Victor was all right and announced in his booming voice full of youth: “Julia Queiroz of class 302 is the winner she deserves third place in the high school martial arts tournament!”
After the announcement, everyone gave a round of applause and threw out some praise, especially the boys who couldn’t stop drooling, as Julia was too beautiful. Especially when she was fighting so bravely, they lost their breath and for a few seconds felt like a damsel in love.
It was a very strange and peculiar situation, but nothing worth paying so much attention to. Even Julia didn’t bother with them and just smiled at her friends and family, especially at Amon who helped her.
After she left, the tournament continued since they still needed to decide who would be among the final 10.
In the final, the first three places were Amon Tang in first, Elijah in second, and Julia Queiroz in third. In the case of Fourth and Fifth, as Nick was unable to fight, it was decided by forfeit, so Victor ended up in Fourth place and Nick in Fifth.
The top ten followed and the result was: 6 – Maria Eduarda, 7 – Heitor Paulo, 8 – Ana Clara, 9 – Arthur Barros, and 10 – Alice Anjos.
With that, they went on stage and received the medals. Since Victor, Elijah and Nick could not receive the award and medal, their family members took it.
Julius cried like a baby to see his second daughter next to Amon. She also gained 5 kg of meat from a level 20 animal.
Julia was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling, after all, she came in third place. She didn’t even expect to be among the ten, let alone in third place.
Of course, there were several factors that made her come in third, mostly luck.
But it still made her happy.
“Fire! It’s on fire!” Someone yelled.
Soon they went out to see, and found that the surveillance room caught fire and everyone started to evacuate while those who could use water genetics helped put out the fire. All data from the security cameras, along with other things were lost.
The Director was a beast, he took a huge loss with it, and there was the case of Amon Tang that was not resolved. He now regrets having postponed it, after all, he wasn’t a fool, he can guess that whoever did this was the culprit who wanted to frame Amon. However, now it’s all burned.

After heading home, Sonia returned. Elijah was a little bruised, but it wouldn’t take him more than a week to recover.
After that, they had dinner, mostly with tier 20 animal meat, which made their genetics increase. After all, it was a luxury they could rarely have.
While he was living with his grandparents, Amon didn’t have that luxury. Not because he didn’t have the ability to do it, Amon’s grandma and grandpa were powerful and he knew that there was some other reason they put it off. He was strengthened purely by martial arts training, as well as training several other things to improve Fury’s genetics.
“Amon, you surprised everyone today. Why didn’t you say earlier that you had lightning genetics?” Julius brought up the subject.
– –
[Gene +1]
– –
Amon ignored the warning that appeared on his retina and his common gene raised to level 26, and said with an indifferent expression, “Nobody asked me.”
“…”
It was true, they never asked his genetic level, nor what his genetics was… Or at least almost everyone. Julia had asked before, but he said he didn’t know, now that she stopped to think, she frowned and started pouting. He’d lied to her for sure, it made her a little upset but, remembering that she got third place in the tournament, she perked up quickly.
“Amon, aren’t you angry?” Maisa asked suddenly.
“Mm?” Amon looked at her blankly. ππ²ππ»πΌπππΉοΌπ»ππ
“Tsk, I’m talking about the fact that they set the evidence on fire and you didn’t find out who wanted to frame you, saying that you… Well, you know.” Maisa wasn’t insensitive, she didn’t complete for fear of hurting Amon.
She didn’t think he was as bad as she initially thought of him, especially seeing him help her sister in the tournament, and admits she was a bit jealous. After all, Julia’s improvement was pretty obvious, he even managed to get to third place!
“Oh, getting angry… Well, that wouldn’t change what happened.” Amon shrugged and continued eating with the same indifference as usual.
This strangely didn’t irritate MaΓsa as before, she actually wanted to ask to train with him and Julia, but after how she treated him, she didn’t have the courage to make such a request.

The next day, it was Tuesday, and because of the confusion that happened yesterday, they even forgot about the case of Amon being wronged by someone who maliciously created a note. Although they argue trying to guess who set the fire on the school blog.
The Headmaster was still angry and the school was postponed as they needed to rebuild what had been touched by the fire.
The deadline was 1 week without classes to fix the damage and to return to normal classes.
“Amon, is that how it’s done?” In the backyard of the house, Julia was asking Amon for advice.
“It’s more like this.” Amon demonstrated for the tenth time, he was being very patient. Meanwhile, Maisa was hiding and training the same moves shown by Amon to Julia.
