After Kazuma and Baroka had been declared as the two new fighters that would take the stage, Kazuma paused for a moment before he just smirked "Its my turn? It's really my turn!", he thought to himself in a cynical tone. Baroka on the other hand didn't really feel much, he had a straight face and was indifferent about the fact that he had to fight his friend "I'm fighting Kazuma huh? Well, I guess that's okay.", he started to think of some of the most unhinged things Kazuma is capable of and then snapped back into reality "Yeah, I guess it's okay.". Baroka did a thumbs up to Kito with a smirk on his face "Kito, I'll see you after the match.", Kito smiled and waved back at him "Yeah, we'll see after the match.", Baroka proceeded to jump off the railings all the way to the battle stage, White muttered "Wow, he sure is taking this well.". White looked at Kazuma who's face was shadowed by his hair, he had a wide mouth open smirk with his eyes covered by his purple hair "I'm pretty sure Kazuma is extremely excited. Yeah, he's extremely excited.". Ralfold then called out "Kazuma Starion, if you don't get here in the next one minute, you will be disqualified!", Kazuma snapped out of his silent excitement and maintained his composure "Oh, sorry about that Ralfold sensei.", he walked down the stairs with a straight face and with his hands in his pockets. Yuji and Kito were just watching Kazuma walk down calmly, he had a straight face and didn't seem to be thinking of anything at all. Both Kito and Yuji knew at the back of their minds that Kazuma was extremely excited for his fight, but he was trying to hold himself until the fight was declared started. After Kazuma had taken the stage with Baroka standing accross him, Ralfold explained "I don't need to explain that rules, you both know what to do.". Baroka didn't really have any emotions clouding his mind, and Kazuma wasn't showing any facial expressions at all, Ralfold then declared "Ready? Set? FIGHT!". As soon as Ralfold had declared the fight to begin, Baroka's arms started to glow white for an attack, but Kazuma instantly teleported right infront of him with an incredible amount of purple energy on his fists and then punched Baroka with a devastating blow "HAHAAAHAHA!", Kazuma exclaimed with an excited laugh. The power of the blow was one that actually left the rest of the boys stunned and wary "Ah! Shit!", Yuji and Kito exclaimed in their minds. As soon as the smoke cleared off, it turned out that Baroka had already blocked the blow with his arms turned into pure white energy. Baroka had a smirk on his face "Sorry Kazuma.....", rocks crackling with white energy started to appear around him "BUT YOU CANT TAKE ME OUT WITH JUST A SINGLE BLOW", he exclaimed as he proceeded to shoot rocks covered with White energy at a devastating speed. Kazuma didn't say a word, all he had was a smirk of excitement on his face as he dashed off with intense speed towards Baroka, Kazuma was dodging the powerful rock beams Baroka was sending after him. As he was running and dodging the beams of rock that were causing huge explosions on the battle stage, Kazuma had an excited look on his face "Finally! This was what I wanted the entire time. I don't enjoy fights that are solely based on strategy, they are too boring. And i don't like a reckless fight all that much either. Sure it's fun, but if there ain't no little brains in that fight then you're just a guy blasting off power without the sense to back it up...!". He prepared a dagger out of his purple energy and continued to monologue "What I like....", he yelled out "IS A BATTLE THAT MAKES ME WANNA GROW BOTH MENTALLY AND POWER WISE!...", and sent a slash hurling Baroka's way. Baroka spotted the purple slash of energy that was hurling his way while tearing through his rock beams "Not good!", he thought to himself with an annoyed look on his face before he used one of his rock beams to create a long sword that blocked Kazuma's slash. As soon as Baroka used his sword to block Kazuma's slash, he had a wary look on his face "SHIT!", the slash was pushing him backwards "This isn't good, his slash is too strong!". Kazuma then came rushing in with purple energy flickering around him like lightning, held tight his dagger of energy and then went in for a stab towards Baroka who was still struggling with the slash. As soon as Baroka saw Kazuma coming, he was alarted, he quickly swung the slash to the side with all the strength he could muster and then clashed with Kazuma, blade for blade. Baroka seemed to be showing difficultly as soon as he and Kazuma clashed blades "What the...", he muttered to himself with shock. Kazuma on the other hand seemed to be enjoying himself, he had an excited look all over his face. But despite all his excitement, he was still trying his best to be conscious about the amount of power he was using. Kazuma and Baroka started to clash with their blades. They were moving extremely fast and were both showcasing incredible skills while fighting, Baroka was mostly on the defensive while also trying to attack Kazuma with his own sword slashes, Kazuma on the other hand was just playing offensive. He wasn't giving Baroka any time to catch his breath at all. White, Volt, Kito and Yuji all watched this fight with straight but slightly worried faces. Yuji while looking at Kazuma, thought to himself "He hasn't even started using any crazy moves yet. All he's been doing so far is just depending on his combat abilities. Is his spirit mark even activated? All I can see is just purple veins on his right and left arm.", Kito thought to himself "If Baroka doesn't do something quick, he's done for. I don't want to underestimate him, but I don't think Baroka can beat Kazuma In an all out fight. Tch! Kazuma, you better take it easy. Baroka is your friend and my friend too, don't break him with your damn excitement!". Tendra on the other had was just watching the high speed movements of both Baroka and Kazuma, he thought to himself "That Kazuma guy is very reckless. He's switching between lethal strikes and dangerous reckless blows, that Baroka guy on the other hand is trying everything in his power to keep up. Typical fodder behaviour. Either way, this Starion kid isn't much of a threat to me. If i happen to fight him, I'll just-". Tendra didn't complete his sentence before he saw Kazuma preparing a huge and dangerous amount of purple energy in slow motion "BAROKA! YOU BETTER DODGE THIS ONE IF YOU LOVE YOUR HEAD!", Kazuma exclaimed wity mad excitement. Every single boy watching, including Tendra, was in shock as Kazuma blasted an extremely powerful beam at Baroka "WHAT THE..?", Kito exclaimed while the rest of the boys watched in awe. Baroka was in shock to see a huge and powerful attack heading his way, he quickly used his arms to block the beam. The beam was so powerful that it was even stronger than the amount of electricity that Volt had launched at Kito before their fight ended, it shot out of the arena and caused a huge explosion in the air. As the smoke cleared, Baroka was still standing, but with a tired smirk on his face and a bleeding head "What the fuck, Kazuma?". Kazuma on the other hand was just standing with an excited look on his face, his spirit mark(Double triangle with two dots) started to form at the back of his wrists "Are you trying to kill me?", Baroka muttered as he saw Kazuma standing with an excited smile on his face. Ralfold just smirked "Now the real fight begins!."
