To call it a spar would've been like calling a fight between a baby and a professional boxer a match. It was a one sided beat down for Nolan, Karn, and Enma against the three strongest warriors in the village. Enma was waist up in the earth, face down that is and Karn was now passed out with water completely soaking him from head to toe. Nolan was the only one conscious and the first to be treated for his wounds by Aya's unique nature magic, who herself had little to no wounds despite all three of their best efforts. Perhaps it was Nolan who was the most frustrated out of the three. Even with his newly awoken Second Origin he couldn't land a single attack that left any visible wound on them. Well, that wasn't necessarily true. He did test the limits of his magic by using one of the secret arts of the ash god slayer, which forced Megumi's hand and intercepted the attack before it could do any harm to the warriors and to his own allies. Even now the part of the island they were on seemed to be in a perpetual night time. His ashes still blocked out the sun even after the fight was over.

Even from Aya and Megumi's persistence for Nolan to rest, he decided to wander off to clear his head. From his pocket he pulled out a gourd of ashes, popped open the lid with a push from his thumb, and chugged the ashes down. He could feel himself regaining his strength, the magical energy flowed strongly in his veins. Since ashes were an uncommon commodity he carried around ashes in strong containers in order to replenish his strength in times of need. He needed to get a better grasp of what he needed to do to become stronger.
