There were only 8 teams left to finish the last interscholastic war exam of the year…
So the audience was getting really big.
Today's fight wasn't a rivalry exactly. There was no animosity between them. They didn't compete for position or recognition in a manner that implied personal conflict.
But they were two of the strongest students in the entire fifth year. Two who represented the best of what this generation could produce.
And now they would finally face each other directly.
Both had rested appropriately after their previous battles. Ren had enjoyed a complete afternoon and night to recover fully. Larissa had a similar recovery time.
Their beasts were fresh and ready. Their reserves replenished to full and their minds clear and focused.
It was a confrontation in optimal conditions for both participants.
And everyone wanted to see who would prevail in this matchup.
