Scene 1: Final Match (Male Division)
Nel vs Leo!
The stadium shook with excitement as the final match of the Male Division was announced:
> Announcer: "Final Match! Nel Sazaly (8th Grade) vs Leo Kravitz (9th Grade)!"
Leo stepped into the arena confidently,
lightning crackling at his fingertips, his muscles visibly rippling with power.
But what stood out most —
his body started to shift and mutate, fur sprouting across his arms and legs, his eyes becoming sharp and beast-like.
> Leo activated his power: Mastery Hybrid Form of Leopard.
A true fusion of man and beast — speed, strength, and instincts of a great predator combined into one.
Super Regeneration
Lightning Manipulation
Mastery Hybrid Form: Leopard Mode
Spectators watched in awe.
> Leo (smirking): "Ready to be crushed, little 8th grader?"
On the opposite side, Nel stood casually,
still reading his Math Genius book, not even looking up.
The referee raised his hand—
> Referee: "Ready... BEGIN!"
In a flash of lightning, Leo pounced forward, claws ready to tear.
But—
Nel didn't even move his head.
He slightly raised one finger...
BAM!
Leo was instantly knocked out of the ring and crashed into the wall!
The audience sat in stunned silence.
Leo's regeneration triggered, healing his bruises instantly, but he was already defeated.
> Referee (awkwardly): "Uhh... Nel wins."
Audience: "WHAT?! AGAIN?!"
Even more students immediately pulled out their Math books,
thinking Nel's strength came from studying math.
> Student 1: "Maybe if I study calculus I'll get strong too!"
> Student 2: "No, it has to be geometry!"
Nel, completely unbothered, just turned another page of his book and walked away.

Scene 2: Final Match (Female Division)
Chelestar vs Mira Usagiri!
The ground vibrated under the power of the next match.
Chelestar's 9 fox tails swirled with energy as she faced Mira,
the rabbit-eared girl with high-level dimensional and magic skills.
> Mira: "I'm not holding back, Chelestar!"
The air between them exploded as the two clashed.
Mira unleashed multi-dimensional attacks, bending the space itself.
Chelestar countered with Kitsune Flames and Spiritual Bindings.
The battle was intense — faster and fiercer than any female match before.
Mira landed a few heavy hits, sending Chelestar sliding backward —
but Chelestar refused to give up.
With a loud roar, her energy exploded!
Her tails glowed brilliantly —
a 10th tail sprouted, roaring to life with a burst of celestial flames.
Chelestar awakened her 10th tail!
> Student 3: "No way... she evolved mid-battle!"
With her 10th tail, Chelestar's power, speed, and magic control multiplied.
Mira pushed herself harder,
but Chelestar's new form overwhelmed her with a devastating multi-tail barrage.
> Referee: "Chelestar wins!!"
The crowd went wild!

Scene 3: Award Ceremony
Nel and Chelestar stood on the victory podium.
Nel received a small trophy... and the Ruby Ring —
the one Chelestar had always wanted.
Without a second thought,
he walked up to Chelestar and slipped the ring onto her finger.
Chelestar blushed furiously, her ears turning pink.
> Nel (coolly): "You deserve it."
> Audience: "WOOOOOOOAHHHHH!!!"
Students started taking pictures secretly,
creating instant rumors across the whole school.

Scene 4: Meanwhile: Neo's Mission
Meanwhile, far away at the broken Great Portal,
Neo fought alone against the monsters spilling through.
Using his Kriz Scythe,
he sliced down waves of invaders with precision and overwhelming dark power.
But a strange shadow began forming beyond the portal...
Something worse was coming.
Neo sensed it and gritted his teeth.
> Neo (grimly): "The real battle hasn't even started yet..."

Nel walked with Chelestar, who clutched her hand over the ruby ring shyly.
