Baroka was trying to catch his breath after being hit by Kazuma's powerful attack, he had a tired smirk on his face and his head bleeding. Volt looked shocked "No way. That attack was insane!", White looked shocked after seeing Kazuma's powerful attack of energy "That was insane, its even stronger than the final burst of lightning that Volt launched at Kito.". Kito was also shocked "Base! He did that all at base without his spirit mark being activated. I know Kazuma is insanely talented, but come on. Can't he have a limit or something?", Yuji also looked stunned but not too stunned "Kazuma.....", he sighed "What a pain. I know you are capable of doing stupid stunts, but at least you've gotta hold back every once in a while.". Kazuma asked Baroka while still being excited "So? You still wanna go?", Baroka took a sigh and stood up straight "Sure, why not? What kind of fight would it be if I were to stay down with one misley attack?", Kazuma smirked "That's the spirit.". Tendra thought to himself "This is kind of troublesome. That Kazuma guy just blasted off an insane energy attack right off the bat. That beam he shot was just as strong as the one that electricity idiot shot at that powerless fool. If he can shoot an attack like that at rapid fire, then he's more of a problem than I thought.", he turned to Baroka "And that rock head, he just tanked it. He's pretty durable. If I were to fight him, I'll just take his arms off and then aim for the heart.". Kazuma zoomed off at an insane speed towards Baroka, short swords of purple energy started to appear all over the place and started falling towards Baroka. Baroka on the other hand smirked and started to shoot out rock beams all over the place to counter Kazuma's rapid fire attacks that were falling all over the place. Kazuma appeared in front of Baroka with a short sword he made from his purple energy and attempted to strike him with it. Baroka quickly created a rock beam and made it take the shape of a sword, he and Kazuma clashed once again, they started to run around at speeds that had far surpassed sound by three hundred times. They were not just clashing with skill and power, but the rapid shots of rock beams and short swords attacks they had thrown around at rapid fire were still clashing all over the place and causing huge explosions as they fell. As the clash kept on going on like this, Kazuma seemed to have an excited smile on his face, he was actually enjoying himself while fighting Baroka, Baroka on the other hand wasn't as unhinged as Kazuma at all. Instead of having an excited insanity, he felt honoured to have fought against one of his closest friends. Kazuma and Baroka were fighting and clashing their blades with everything they had, they were running around, sending slashes at each other and even started to throw kicks and a few blows at each other. Their clashing was causing purple and and white energy to burst all over the battle stage, Ralfold while watching this thought to himself "Kazuma is holding back. If he wanted too, he could have ended Baroka about 5 times over by now. He's sticking to using the second stage of his spirit mark when he can use the third stage. But Kazuma is a very conscious person, he might go insane, but he still has his inner consciousness telling him the crazy things to do and the crazy things he shouldn't do.....", a smirk curled up on his face "This kid is scary, even for me.". As Baroka and Kazuma kept on fighting like this, Baroka's his sword morphed into a bigger version of itself, he launched forward towards Kazuma and was about to use his sword to blast Kazuma straight down "I'll use this sword strike to harm his ribs. If he blocks it, then he'd break his arm instead. He's gonna be focused on the pain to the point that he'd forget about the incoming attack for a second.". Baroka exclaimed in his head "Special Technique: BANG!", as he was about to use his sword to slam Kazuma, Kazuma just smirked. He created a blaster of purple energy and shot it at Baroka's head. This was an incredibly powerful blasts that flew towards Baroka and blasted him on the head with insane power, Kito, Volt, White and Yuji were just stunned "Huh? That much power?", White muttered to himself. Baroka was in complete shock, the blasts from Kazuma was something that had caught him off guard "What the.... I almost didn't see that attack. How did he... so fast!". Kito yelled out "BAROKA! HE'S SHOOTING THAT SAME ATTACK AGAIN! PREPARE YOURSELF!", Baroka was in shock on hearing Kito's warning. Kazuma was just grinning as he was preparing the next attack, not just that, but everything was in slow motion to him "I'm actually very excited now, but still, I've gotta controll myself. The previous attack I shot at Baroka was something that was capable of blasting through his head, it would have blown his brain from the inside, so what i did was simple. I held back the attack for a split second and used its small impact to scare Baroka. I don't want to harm him, he's my friend, and no matter how excited I am, I have to make sure that even if I'm trying to harm him due to the nature of this exam, I don't kill him.". He remembered how sad Mio was when he heard that she almost killed Rem "I know how Mio feels now.", Kazuma yelled out with excitement "BAROKA! IF I WERE YOU, I'D DODGE EVERYTHING THAT GETS IN THE WAY!", all the boys were shocked from what they heard. Yuji thought to himself "Kazuma, what the heck are you planning?", Kito yelled "BAROKA GET OUT OF THERE!", Kazuma started to shoot more repid fire beams from his blaster of energy. Baroka was stunned at how rapid and fast the attacks had gotten, he quickly reduced the size of his sword and started to tear through the beams Kazuma was shooting at him, but while doing so, the impact of the each beam almost made Baroka lose the grip he had on his sword. Baroka was showcasing great combat abilities and skills while tearing through Kazuma's beams "His attacks are relentless and harmful! But still, despite how he can be, he is still very wary of what he can do. He's been holding back against me. Not because he is mocking me, but because he still recognises me as his friend. It's not because he's entirely scared of harming me, but he wants to respect my efforts as a strong fighter. And for that.....", Baroka's sword started to turn into pure white energy with some parts of it covered with rocks "I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RESPECT YOU TOO! NOT BECAUSE WE ARE FRIENDS, BUT AS FIGHTERS WHO RESEPECT EACH OTHER'S HARD WORK!". Baroka sent out a powerful slash that tore through all of Kazuma's beam attacks and destroyed the blaster of energy Kazuma was holding as well as making a cut on Kazuma's palm, all the boys including Kito were shocked. They were stunned on seeing that Baroka's attack actually did something towards someone like Kazuma. Kito thought to himself "No way!", White and Volt were stunned "He actually damaged Kazuma?", they both thought. Yuji was also shocked, but not too shocked "Kazuma, you took damaged?", Tendra just stood and watched with no expression at all. Baroka rushed in towards Kazuma and was ready to deliver a devastating punch, Kazuma smirked and exclaimed "HAHA!"before taking a straight neck destroying punch to the face. All the boys, including Ralfold who was the referee were stunned "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, KAZUMA? YOU WANT ANOTHER ONE?!". Kazuma looked at Baroka with an excited smile, created a hammer of purple energy and then slammed Baroka straight on the head. Kazuma cackled with excitement "HAHA! NO THANK YOU!", created a blaster of energy and then blasted Baroka straight on the head with a massive outburst of power. This beam sent him flying backwards and caused an explosion on the arena and battle stage. As the smoke cleared, Kazuma's smirk lowered a bit "Ahh? I knew it. You'd never get taken down by a small ass attack like that.". Baroka after being blasted on the face had burn marks and bruises on his face and left shoulder, he looked at Kazuma with a smirk "One round! Just one more round!". Kito was stunned "Ah, Baroka!", a huge surge of white energy surged out of Baroka's body, his right eye got turned into pure white energy, Kito was stunned "He still has some energy left?", White, Volt, Yuji and Tendra just watched without saying anything, they wanted to see what Kazuma would do. Kazuma just scoffed with a smirk "One more round huh? I see.", his spirit mark changed from two dots to three dots. He created a blaster of purple energy that was slightly bigger than the last one he created and pointed it at Baroka "Alright then.... ONE MORE ROUND!", Kazuma said with excitement. A few seconds later, huge explosions of white and purple energies shot out of the arena.
