Stone then Sat in a lotus position and waited for the Position Challenge to start.
A few minutes later, They announced that 1 of the Top 10 refused the Commander position and preferred to work alone, as well as 8 others on the Top 100.
All they had to do was make the One Ranked 11th a commander and that's it, And the same for those Ranked below 100, which are known as the Elite Soldiers.
Now it was time for the Challenges, The 9 Commanders had a Red mark with traces of black on top of their heads with their name and Rank on it, while the Elite Soldiers had a blue mark, As for the General he had a Black and Gold mark.
People quickly surrounded those people waiting for an arrogant fella to take the lead.
"Stone David, I've never heard of that name before, he must have some pretty good capabilities to actually reach this rank... I... Alright, I'll wait." A Random Dude said.
"Hmph, Scaredy Cat." Another one stated.
"Can you go fight him? You don't even know how strong he is." Someone replied from behind.
The Arrogant teen remained silent and turned his attention to Stone.
"Brother, Please allow me to challenge you." A bald-headed Monk-like bulky young man appeared from the crowd.
"Huh? Someone challenged him?" People started talking yet again.
"He must be pretty confident..."
"Of course, He's a disciple of the Golden Temple."
"This fight will be interesting."
"Well, in any case, that's just what we wanted."
'Hmm, Seems like I won't be squashing anyone today... Pretty boring, But, Interesting too! I never expected there to be some non-arrogant and smart guys who actually think a little here.' Stone thought as he got up.
He then looked at the Monk and smiled.
He clapped his hand the same way the Monk did and said...
"Please Enlighten Me!"
The Crown started to make space for Stone and the Monk.
Both Stone and the Monk gave some distance to each other.
Stone unsheathed his blade which was already summoned and the monk took out a Plain Wooden Staff and started swinging around and with a...
*Swifff* *Tak*
He tapped it still to the ground.
"I shall take the first strike." The monk said.
"Please do so." Stone replied with a smile.
*Boom*
"Ha!" The monk dashed and aimed his Staff directly at Stone's Head.
*Swish* *Fwsh*
Stone swallowed his smile and titled his head slowly at the last moment.
However, the Monk didn't Stop there.
*Tap*
Retracting his Staff in a flash, and taking a quick breath in not even a second and...
*Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish...
Strikes were sent one after another like bullets, The Staff couldn't even be seen in one single place anymore.
but, so did Stone.
"Too Slow!"
"GRGH!" The Monk felt humiliated when he couldn't touch Stone even once.
So, he took back his Staff once again but this time he spun it around until it was above his head and...
*Swish* *Boom*
He struck down.
The Staff hit the ground and due to a miscalculation the young monk was paralyzed for a quarter second and once he regained his control back...
"I've lost..."
It was game over...
"That was a good fight, Thanks for enlightening me." Stone smiled and said.
The monk saluted him yet again silently and disappeared in the crowd yet again but this time with his head down.
Stone sat down once again and rested lazily.
"It's already over? Just like that?" Random Guy started.
"I couldn't even see them moving..."
"That guy is really dangerous, Why have I never heard about him?"
"Welp, He might be a lucky guy from some unknown family who got a strong fate, This happens almost every year."
"What do we now?"
"I heard some guys actually attacked in groups."
"Oh yeah, Why did we not think of that? Attacking in groups will surely help."
"You guys do whatever you want I'm out."
The Crown then started to plan something between them and more than a thousand teens were glaring at Stone with killing intent in less than 10 minutes.
'I should just rest for the rest of the day, this is boring.' Stone wasn't pleased with his previous fight so he just deployed a Mana Shield which of course no one could see nor feel and laid down.
"Attack!!!!" Thousands of youths launched themselves in circles towards Stone with weapons in their hand and Killing intent on their eyes.
'Shadow.'
Shadow started to Vibrate fiercely the Blade rose a few meters away from the Ground, and...
*Tshk*
Silence...
Shadow Shapeshifted into an extremely sharp Circular Form that had two blades, one on top of it and the other in the bottom which was supported by one small pillar.
*You can think of it as an I, like the Line on top is the first blade a circular paper-like sharp blade, The Vertical line is the pillar and the bottom line is the second Blade, It was made to kill Short people who can't reach the top Blade and the lucky few.*
The Form stretched for as long as the teens who had plans to attack Stone reached and it sliced almost all of them in 3, Only the lucky phew who were in squatting posture got Sliced in only 2 parts.
Blood came out like water, quickly filling Stone's Surroundings, but, it was quickly sucked by the Green land, along with the bodies.
*Swift*
Shadow regained his initial form and fell close to Stone who was already asleep.
Another Massacre, This guy was truly a demon in disguise.
The People surrounding them only had wide-open mouths and couldn't say anything for minutes, Some puked and some even fainted, While some run the fuck away.
News quickly transmitted and Stone didn't have a visitor for a while, Only some unlucky ones who knew nothing or were simply arrogant and were killed by shadow once they reached the Mana Shield(Barrier).
And that's how stone passed his Position Challenge Day...
Chilling Under the Blue Sky!
