[Island]
Amidst the dust, ashes, and sound of battle happening all over the area, Akito stumbled for a bit as executing his new moves needs a lot of focus in order to execute the movements to activate the skill. Due to this his stamina is easily depleted causing him to stumble out of losing his balance from exhaustion.
Unfortunately he wasn't given a leeway to rest as he didn't see any pillars of light appear when he struck Seol, meaning she was still alive and kicking. What's more looking at this situation, even if the students from Gritonnia Academy had come to help them fight off the students from the three academies that attacked them, they were still far outnumbered.
Due to that he occasionally see some of the students from both Orbium Academy and Gritonnia Academy getting flooded with enemies or surrounded before getting eliminated.
What's more the seven talented geniuses of the three academies were no joke at all. He was really pushed through when he fought Gus, now he has no choice but to push his limits again when he fought Seol.
Thankfully Rosalyn, Goran, Sonia, Cedric, and Sephiria are hanging on and fighting with all they had, but with enemies of this caliber, they have slim chances of winning. With that if Akito could eliminate Seol as fat as he can, he would be able to help the others and greatly easing the burden in their hearts.
In that moment as if fate was playing a joke on them, a pillar of light rose up near the site where the elites of the three academies and elites of both Orbium Academy and Gritonnia Academy are fighting. Since it appeared near their location, then that only means someone got eliminated in a fight between elites. In that sense everyone saw Sonia getting eliminated after fighting Rex of the Elludkal Academy.
The powerful sound mage of the Gritonnia Academy was defeated by the enemy who seemed calm and has a lot more stamina to spare enemy.
Upon seeing this, a grim expression loomed over them as this greatly tipped the playing field to their disadvantage. With Sonia gone, Rex then charged at Goran who was fighting against Irene of the Elludkal Academy.
Seeing this, Akito then turned to face Seol, as he saw her slowly walking out of the rubble with thick man surrounding her. The moment Akito saw this, he then realized that Seol was getting serious, as she stood oppressively a few blocks away from him.
Before anyone could even utter a word, Seol suddenly dashed towards him, after than he can blink, and swung her spear towards him.
In response to this, Akito squarely parried the spear by redirecting the force to the side, before stepping in a perfect position and counting back with a swing of his own. However Seol easily dodged that attack by flipping over mid air and landing behind Akito, before sending a thrust attack to his head.
Due to this, Akito quickly tilted his head to the side, before he quickly ducked down to avoid the follow up swing and spin towards her direction with a swing from a low angle.
Unfortunately Seol did a side flip to dodge Akito's counter, before proceeding with an upward slash that was barely blocked by Akito.
After receiving that attack, Akito then grits his teeth as he used his skills to counter back at Seol.

However this time it was Seols turn to parry his attack to the side, as she spun around and used her own skills after lightly jumping and swinging down her spear.
"Dominating Slash!!!"

However instead of blocking it, Akito actually attacked back by striking the focal point of the attack and neutralizing the attack itself. But the moment he did this, Seol then started sending in multiple attacks in a single breath, which was countered by Akito's very own attacks.
Just like that, their clash continued on, as neither side plan to retreat at all. However with the advantage of the spears reach, it took Akito double the effort just to keep up with Seol which was quite straining. He was not only pushing himself to the limits, but he was tested over and over again to break through his limits.
In that moment, veins popped out of his arms, legs, eyes, and neck as he was struggling while forcing himself to break through. Of course Seol noticed this too, as she sped up her attacks once more.
Naturally this caught Akito off guard causing some attacks to bypass his defenses and land a hit on his body. However after receiving about 5 attacks of his body, Akito somehow still manage to catch up, as he begun sweating profusely.
Seeing Akito pushing himself to the limit, Seol then proceeded to kick him away, only for the person himself to quickly anchor himself to the ground and jumping right back in.
When Seol saw this, it was her turn to be pressured as Akito's relentlessness started to burden her as she can't take a breather properly, she was slowly getting overwhelmed. However she refuse to be outdone. So in order to keep up, she also pushed herself to the limit, as their clash caused sparks to appear all over, which shocked everyone who saw their fight.
After all they were moving so fast, that they begun causing sparks due to their weapons clashing 3 times in a single second.
Everytime either one of them gets pushed back, they would instantly jump back in causing streak of light to appear across their field due to their determination to not let up at all.
In that moment Seol grabbed Akito by the collar as he slammed him into the ground and sent multiple thrust attacks to his head. However the latter simply dodged all of them by tilting side to side, while countering back at the last attack that pushed her spear back by multiple strikes.
After that Akito charged forward with a spinning slash, only for Seol to flipped overhead and counter back with her skill. At the same time Akito countered back with his own skill that caused a huge explosion.
"Dragon Strike!!!"
