Chapter 24: Ignis Fang

Cole and his family struggle a lot financially. Most of the students that were within the dojo couldn't pay because it was a low income area.

Hannibal and Autumn Justus Cole's parents took up side jobs being police officers to help with the dojo and their own finances. They were local heroes in their community. “Autumn weather it be our son or one of our Students people will know the “ Fist of Pure Heart”

“Do you not have faith in our son? He has the purest heart I've seen.” Autumn questioned.

“I see the way he practices the techniques while they may be close to perfection the boy only fights for himself .” Hannibal arged.

Autumn smiles as she embraces her husband with a hug. “Like you said he is still a boy so of course he's going to fight for himself but there will be a time where he will fight for something much bigger than himself. When that happens everyone will see him as I do”

Hannibal hugs his wife back and asks. “And how do you see him?”

“As the son of his father. A Man with the purest heart and a fist that delivers the justice of that heart. Just as your ancestors intended.

Apollo stared at his opponent with indifferent eyes. “This low born seems so distraught at the loss of Kenan as if the match would go any other way. Surely they should know that challenging us would result in this. Still here I am lowering myself to this challenge. I guess I have no other choice but to show him how amazing I am.” He said flipping one of his locs out of the way of his face.

Virgil leans over and whispers to Edith. “He is exactly the same way in person. I just thought he was putting on and acting over the network subline.

Edith raises an eyebrow. “You did? No way he is pretending to be that narcissistic. I've been following him on the network subline for a long time.

“Really!? So you think he's handsome as well?” Virgil replied

“Of course there’s no denying him being handsome but he's not my type” Edith said with a shrug.

Virgil nods his head.

“What are you doing on these sidelines anyways?” Edith asked.

While he was relying Edith noticed a tremendous amount of Ruah converging on Cole. “Do you see th-” She cut herself off before she realized he was still one of the flock so there was no way that he could.

In order to awaken as one of the Sentient you have to have a divine revelation that is a known fact. However that is not the end of your journey as a Sentient. There needs to be continued revelations in order for a Sentient to not slip into mediocrity.

“There was so much pain behind his eyes. The first chance he got at defending his mother's honor he failed. For the longest his mother was the only thing he had. Here I am thinking my mother was nothing but a bother. I have taken her for granted. How would I feel if I lost her the same way he did and failed to give her justice?” Cole tightened his fist.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“These people are the reason for my sworn brother and sworn mother's suffering. They will know defeat today by my fist.” Cole got into his fighting stance fist raised.

“I want to remind you that you asked for his low-born, '' Apollo said as he made a movement with his hands and conjured a bow made entirely out of fire.

Both of Cole fists started to glow.

Marshall Solomon looks at his student baffled. “So I wasn’t just seeing things he did get a revelation. He shouldn't be able to use his ability like that. It should only be limited to his eyes.

Marshall Solomon almost forgot he was the referee for the match as he was trying to guess how Cole was about to use this technique. “Began!!” He shouted.

Cole released two jabs so fast Marshall Solomon was sure he was the only one that saw them. Two green lasers in the shape of fists with beams following behind them landing on Apollos right liver and left shoulder.

His body did a helicopter spin in the air as he landed on the ground with a hard thud. Everyone in the area's mouth dropped. Marshall Solomon forgot to teleport the boy to the ground safely due to his own shock.

Kane on the sideline was the one that broke the silence. He was still recovering so his voice was low but everyone still heard it. “Dear God…”

Cole walks over to the sideline and makes eye contact with both Calypsoand Kane. “This is only the start of my brother's act of Justice. Remember this face.” Cole said. He flashed his eyes a green color, turned around and walked back towards the sideline.

He walked past Edith as she walked up to the platform. “Beat that” He said with a smirk.

“That was the last time I compared myself to you, you monster.” Edith said.

Cole slightly falls back with his hand on his chest. “I'm hurt and flattered all at the same time.

Edith walks onto the platform with authority and majesty sword-breaker in hand as if she was getting ready to give her subject a decree that would affect them for ten generations. She completely ignores Calypsoand points her sword breaker at Kyron who was sitting next to Kane. “Call your sister here at once. She will need to be here for this as well?”

“And what if I don’t” Kryon protested.

“Then you can fight in her place! As I take her betrothal away from her?” Edith snapped.

Calypsoturned back to Kane and made a confused face? But he gave her the same look and shrugged his shoulders. “I'm not sure what you're trying to do but”

“Hush!! Lady Ogun and wait for Lady Oya. I don't want to have to repeat myself twice once she gets here. Edith said.

Calypsolooked at Edith with Venom in her eyes. “Who does she think she is talking to a member of the Elder family with the tone she does!? Along with that other guy, Kenan has made a bunch of fools for friends.” She thought as she summoned her weapon. “Ignis fang” she said.

Calypsoheld out her hand as she spoke those words. Flames in the form of a blade started to manifest from her hand. At first Edith thought it was going to be a simple flame weapon like the one Apollo used but once Edith grabbed it and flicked the flames off of it revealing a ebony blade with a flowing orange flame running down the middle of the blade. She knew that Calypsowas the real deal.

Right before Edith was getting ready to comment on Calypso's weapon she saw Yalissa enter the Sparing area and headed towards Kyron's direction.

“Lady Oya, I Challenge you for your betrothal to Kenan The lost son. Should I win you must give up all hope of being romantically involved with him in the future. Let My Victory over the heirs show the Ogun and the Oya I am worthy and of being a hand to a descendant of an elder family.” Edith turns to Kane. Will you stand as witness to this raining her to the Ogun Family.

“Absolutely!?” Kane spat out. He quickly turned away and coughed and recomposed himself. “I mean of course,” he said. “This is my only chance to get the woman of my dreams again. Thank God for this random girl loving Kenan. Lord give her heavenly strength to win this battle for me.” He said looking at Yalissa with hopeful eyes.

Calypso quickly turns to her brother. “Kane?”

“Sorry sis.” he says. Then he secretly mouths the words “take a fall.”

“Well at least this Idiot truly loves my sister instead of that jerk that always ignores her and keeps her worrying.” Kyron thought. While holding onto Kane's shoulder.

Yalissa had fury in her eyes. She couldn’t back down from a challenge from a low-born not as a Arisocrate and Member of the elder family. She made eye contact with Vilina and they had an unspoken conversation. “Who was this girl that knew the edicate of the Aristocrats along with the formal titles they all had. She addresses them all by their proper titles. She was either a fangirl or there was more to her.

Meanwhile Marshall Solomon blinked back in after personally delivering Apollo to the medical wing before anyone noticed. “It looks like no one even noticed I was gone that good. The last thing I need is a stern talking to from a Shepard Captain about how to treat members of the Elder family.

“I accept your challenge Ms.Gradner but with a couple of exceptions if I win you not only forget a romantic relationship with Kenan but completely drop out of the Shepherds.” Yalissa spoke.

Marshall Solomon was getting ready to interject before Edith swirly accepted.

“I highly doubt you'll be able to beat Calypso anyways” Yalissa said. As she went to go sit next to her brother Kyron.

Edith then focuses her attention back on Calypso . “Tell me Lady Oya , have you ever fought someone who wields a sword breaker?

“No but my master told me what to do when meeting one.” Calypso said. She took her fighting stance, raising her Ignis Fang.

“No they didn't or you would have sheathed your blade already”
