The Test of Strength [Solo/Job/Plot]

Job:

Awaking in the cave Solomon opened his eyes slowly, "ahh" he was dreary from his previous trip from the mine to here and must have fallen asleep after paying his magician. How the light struck the cave ice was beautiful in the morning it brightened the dark cave revealing all inside, pushing off of the stalagmite that he slept on to life him self up he would take a better look at the space around him. He would take a minute before walking over to the large glacier like mass in the center of the cave, and then placing his hand onto it, "Ill be back, I love you both." Staring for a moment at the ice he would then drop his hand from it to exit the cave.

Cave:

After making his way back to the village which took him till about noon, he would meet with Hiraku to discuss what he had found and where to find it themselves to begin mining. Walking past Mamoru which just looked at him as he passed by, most likely grumpy for being left behind Solomon would raise his hand and wave to Hiraku in the distance that was already at work with the bridge. "Did you guys receive the supplies I sent yesterday?" Hiraku nodded, "Yes, I already have most of it being forged into something that could assist us with the development of the city." Solomon would only reply, "Good." "So the location of the cave is not far from us, it was exactly where the hunter said it would be... I advise that we send some people to start mining it. And begin having a large amount of people to make Caravan wagons, so they can shortly begin having it moved here, and I do not mind if we have to take some people off the bridge construction, the resource is more important at this point." Hiraku would just nod as he listened to Solomon.

Solomon would begin to walk away for Hiraku to begin doing his own thing and that would be when Hiraku would ask, "Where are you going?" Solomon would just wave and say, "To check out a village someone told me about." Solomon would whistle to Mamoru to call him over, Mamoru realizing now they were leaving he was no longer angry with Solomon but ran to him the fastest he could being happy that he was not going to be left behind this time.

Mounting Mamoru it would then take off, and now that almost all the bridges were complete it made it much easier for Mamoru to get up and down from the mountain without help even though the roads and paths have yet to be made. Solomon thought to himself as he directed Mamoru, "These paths will be last to be made, this way it would make it difficult for others to attack us while we are still building city." As the trees flew by him and Mamoru jumped from my small edge to another Solomon would keep his eyes peeled for any other possible caves that could be found. It saved much time to just take already started caves however he would also have to be careful as he did not wish to take more then what Kou would allow before seeing him as a threat. He knew he would have to start some however those would be at the bottom of the mountains around his city, and would not have any access points near the city or into the mountain the city rested on.

The journey to this village was far indeed, Solomon's city was deep into the jade mountains however it was deep in the opposite direction of this village.  This made it much longer of a journey they would not arrive till after the sun had set and the moon was high in the sky. Solomon would halt Mamoru as they came to the village, "I seek to test the strength of your Warriors!" Solomon would yell out to the guards posted at the gates. After a few moments the gates would open, Solomon could see that many warriors stood to the sides as if inviting him in. They were not dumb however the still held there hands near their weapons as he was just a stranger to them.

Solomon would begin to walk through the middle of them atop of Mamoru and would see a large man, not larger then himself though with his arms raised in a welcoming fashion. When he got closer to the man he would the dismount from Mamoru, "Thank you for welcoming me." Solomon would say as the man came over to embrace him. He felt it odd to be embraced by a stranger however he allowed it, "No, thank you for coming you look like a great test for my warriors and since the civil war began there has not been any visitors at all... would you be interested in some food or drink?" Solomon nodded in agreement, "Only after my first test however so we can get a look at how this will go." The man would cheer out loud as he patted Solomon's back and the others would join him in  the cheer. He would be directed to the middle of their village where he would see a 10 ft deep pit that he would be asked to climb down into. "Stay here Mamoru." he would say as he patted his back and then climbed down.

The only can be assumed chief at this point would point to one of his men on the other side of the pit and he would nod then climb down into the pit with Solomon. He would stand in a fighting stance in which his right leg would be forward and awaited to be attack, and looking at the man he carried no weapons he only planned on using his fists. "One moment." he would say as he flung both of the axes on his sides off of him and to the far side of the pit. Reaching behind him he would also throw his pistol with his axes before saying, "Ok, now were good." As he flex his shoulders back and forwards to take a stance of his own were both of his feet would be planted. The man would slowly begin to creep forward by sliding his right foot along the ground, Solomon would just hold his stance with both arms to his side awaiting for the man to come into range. Just as he thought the man would go to strike him with Shattering Strike already awaiting this Solomon was already prepared to use Fortress Wall Stance. The strike was strong Solomon could tell that it was better than average, however with his Imuchakk Physiology that would not even be close to enough. As the mans fist his Solomon's chest the man could tell he did almost nothing to him, going to back off but too late Solomon was already reaching for the man to use Castle Toss, but as he reached out his hands would be met with the mans fist using Blocking Blow to smack Solomon's hands away from him. Solomon would smile as he continued his offence, "Your not too bad." Thowing Basic Attack after Basic Attack each would be met with Blocking Blow the man was struggling and everyone around the pit knew it, however cheered on either way. They did not watch for their man to win they watched for the enjoyment of watching each mans skill. As the man began to stumble as he was being forced backwards that is when Solomon would reach out with his left hand and grab the mans head and use Wardens Grasp to knock the man out before tossing him to the side of the pit. Regretfully he still had to hold back as he did not wish to crush the mans skull in front of his people.

Solomon would walk over to the man after the fight had been determined and slung him over his should lifting the man out of the pit. "Treat him, while I treat this man." the chief would say as he sent off the opponent to get medical attention. "I never did get your name did I?" Solomon would take a drink that was brought over to him before saying, "My name is Solomon King." He bowed slightly before replying, "Well that was a spectacle to watch, however it seemed as if you had to hold back, would you like more of a challenge tomorrow?" Solomon would shake his head in disagreement, "I do not mean to insult or turn down such a kind gesture however If I went all out I would most likely hurt more people here then I intended."

Solomon could tell that he almost immediately took it as a insult, sighing before he said in response, "How about you and two other men gets into the pit with me and I can show you what I mean."
The men around them would all cheer out loud at such a sound. "Well my people seem to think that is a good idea so drink and eat your fill tonight and tomorrow at noon is when we shall battle." A giant keg of mead would be slammed down next to them and another for the people around them. The night was filled with cheers and the warm air of stale booze. However it was something that Solomon had not felt is some time that he could not help but smile and enjoy himself.

At least till his eyes opened the next morn and he could feel his head pounding. "Uhggg" he would say as he spun over. "Drank a bit too much did ya?" Solomon would turn to see the face of the chief all up and ready to go."It is just about time for the men's entertainment get on up and wash the booze smell off of ya." Solomon would only turn his head to see a wash basin next to him and would drop his body so his face would land in the basin.

After a few moments Solomon would walk over to the pit and see that everyone waited for him, he did not mind drinking much today as he knew he would not have to do much this would be more of a demonstration if that. However the crowed did not see that as they continue to cheer. Again all the men at the bottom of the pit would be weaponless, but this time Solomon did not bother taking off his weapons and began to chant, "Djinn of Paralysis and Shock give me your power, paralyze those who stand against us and brighten the dark clouds above for those who await for us...electrify Ronove." the crowd began to subside with cheers as they all watched as Solomon's blue hair turned white, and bones began to appear as his wardrobe. The chief almost looked stunned however the other two men were still prepared to fight. Holding his axe at his side he would then use Ronove's Tears arcs of lightning would be seen jumping off Solomon's body and clothing originating from the axe itself. This man farthest from the chief would go in to attack and on contact he would instantly drop the the ground as Solomon did not move a muscle. The next man would go to attack however the chief would stop him, "Were done, and I understand now what you meant." Solomon sustained the ability which would have easily been enough to take out the second man but then released everything all together when the chief had said he was done.
