Chapter 5 - All or nothing

Immediately Dan charges straight at him.

Dan charges at Daki with full speed but as he is about to close in on him, Daki brings out his sharp bamboo sticks and attempt to use them on Dan but he ducks under it and runs back

Dan charges straight at Daki with full power, but just as he got close to him sharp bamboo sticks shot out from the ground, going straight at Dan's face but Dan is able to get his head out of the way at the right moment.

Dan jumps back. He decides to be more calculative this time before going straight at this unknown man.

Daki looks at Dan, he raises his right hand and points at Dan's left cheek. Unknowingly to Dan blood is dripping from there, he wipes it off "Damn it you won't be an easy opponent"

At the Knight's Administrator's Office, Greg, Vixen, DG and Talar look at this match with vested interest

"This final sure is looking interesting," Greg adds

Vixen stares down at the battleground from the window "Your bet on who is going to win?"

DG with a swift reply "Dan of course"

Talar scratches his head while leaning back on his wooden chair "This will be tough but I think this is where experience will come out ontop, Daki will win"

Vixen, with her usual stern expression, makes up her mind "Normally i wouldn't bet on him but i will today, I'm going for Dan"

At the Battle ground

Daki attacks Dan with his multiple sharp bamboo sticks from the ground straight at him, Dan dodges some, of them but a few give him multiple cuts on his body

Dan screams in pain, he punches a bamboo stick and it's hard to break, words start going through his mind "Darn it why are his bamboo hard to break"

Dan grabs one of his bamboo sticks, uses a lot of his strength and breaks it

"Wow, so your strength can actually match my bamboo might"Daki said with a wicked grin

Dan wastes no time, he throws the bamboo with immense strength straight at Daki's left cheek

"Oops I missed" Dan said

Daki wipes off the blood from his cheek "How dare you!"

Dan uses that opportunity to charge at him with lightning channeled all over his body, he punches him on his stomach, Kicks his waist and face repeatedly at a fast rate with his Lightning power, he then tossed Daki to the other side of the battle ground

Dan faintly smiles as sweat drips from his forehead, with the multiple bruises on his body "Finally the match is going in my favor"

Dan charges at him again and aims to punch him at the left side of his face, but Daki gets annoyed shouting "Enough!" and attempts to hit Dan with his bamboo sticks but Dan dodges them, he goes behind Daki

Dan says coldly "Ha, I expected that"

Dan clenches his right fist tightly and imbues it with a full, bright lightning charge, he attempts to hit him with his special move"Lightning karate straight punch" but Daki reacts immediately and brings out Bamboo branches from the ground which smacks Dan away

Dan got up from the ground and dusted off his clothes, stunned "What the heck?"

Daki's face twisted in rage "You're a really tough kid, I will give you that but this is where it all ends, i am going to win by all means"

The branches keep on increasing and covering the whole battle ground, each bamboo branches hits Dan repeatedly as he is surrounded by it

Dan's body was beaten severely, he has no means of escape, each attack is taking a heavy toll on his body

"Game over boy, you're stuck here in my bamboo prison" Daki said

At the Knight Administrator's Office

Talar with a cunning laugh "Hehe, looks like I'm going to win money today"

DG slammed his hand on the desk "Oh come on Dan you overcame other fights don't give up now"

Vixen's says with a voice of concern as she turns to Greg "Sir does this mean the end of the road for him?"

Greg chuckles"He won't give up. Did you forget what i told you before about that family line, they are able to think fast on their feet and able to pull off surprise victories, they are not the strongest just for show, and i know that kid has what it takes to deliver in him"

At the battle ground

Murmurs start to erupt in shock at the current events of the match

"I knew i was right to bet on Daki"

"Come on Dan don't give up, pick yourself up"

Dan says to himself, "These sticks hurt like hell... But i can't give up yet"

Dan jumps out of the bamboos surrounding him and jumps ontop of each bamboo branch

Daki smirked "You think i can't attack you there"

Daki then proceeds to move the branches away so Dan can't jump on them, he falls down and the branches begin to barrage him with multiple hits

Dan screamed "Fine then if I can't avoid them... I will just destroy all this branches and make my way to you"

Dan brings out a lot of lightning from his body and starts destroying the bamboo branches that are attacking him, As he is getting closer to Daki, he still has some bamboo branches defending him. Dan punches one and he immediately feels a sting to his hand

Dan cries out in pain, "Fuck!"

Daki laughs "You won't be able to penetrate this ones, i made them solid and very hard to break"

Dan looks like a wild beast who has to protect it's territory no matter the cost

"Shut up! Do you think I will let this stop me from reaching my dream of becoming a knight!, Huh? If I have to break my bones to stop you I will do just that"

Dan continues striking the bamboo branches until they crack and collapse

Daki eyes widen "What? This is impossible! How are you able to do this?"

Dan coughs up blood but that doesn't stop him, he keeps on charging towards Daki with all his strength

At the Knight Administrator's Office, the Knights open their eyes surprised by the brutal turn of events

"What did i tell you, this kid is incredible" Greg said

At the battle ground

Daki strengthens his resolve despite Dan's attacks "I will just make more"

Dan immediately rushes to him before he makes more with furious lightning punches

"Time to end this" Dan said

Dan clinches his right hand and gives him "Lightning karate straight punch"

Daki coughs out blood, he is in disbelief by Dan's determination, he can't believe he is fighting a kid.

But this child is no normal child, he is a child from "The Five Nations"

As Daki is about to pass out he hears Dan scream

"Don't you dare pass out!"Dan thinks to himself"Time to try out my new special move"

Dan uses his right hand and imbues it with lightning. He hits him with his new move "Lightning Karate Chop", he hits Daki on his neck with it and knocks him to the ground hard, a huge crack appears

Dan falls on his knees. He breaths heavily "Finally I won"

Dan falls to the ground, knocked out

The Announcer roars in joy "What a final match folks, but our winner today is Dan from the lightning nation"

Crowd:Yessss!

Crowd:Heck yeah

Crowd scream and jumps in elation

"Yessss!"

"Heck yeah"

The medics rush to Dan to take him to the clinic

At the Knight Administrator's Office

DG jumps in joy

Greg smiles proudly "What an interesting match, this kid is incredible, i wonder what he will do in the main exam"

"So our work with supervising this matches are done" Vixen adds

"Yes it is. DG, inform the other Nations we're done here"Greg said
