An hour had passed in the boys arena, all the boys were already paying attention to what Ralfold was about to say. Ralfold commended them all "Congratulations on you all for participating in the elimination rounds. Whether you won or lost doesn't matter at all, the fact that you all fought and showcased great abilities and fighting skills is the amazing part. You kids fully have my respect.", Kazuma teased with a smug smirk "He's obviously talking about me. I did demonstrate the best skills.", Yuji replied with a uninterested tone "Kazuma, shut the fuck up. Your fight was practically second too the last.", Kito added "Really, Kazuma?", Kazuma scoffed "Jealous.", he muttered. Baroka on the other hand was sitting below the battle stage, he was still recovering from the fight he had against Kazuma, Ralfold turned to him "Hey, Baroka. You can go home and gets some rest, you don't feel so good at all.". Baroka got up with a tired smile "Yeah, you have a point. I'm having a headache, not to mention my stomach feels wierd.", Kito muttered in a sarcastic manner with his eyes slowly turning to Kazuma "Hm, I wonder who could have been the cause of it.", all the other boys had looks of suspicions on their faces as they slowly looked at Kazuma "Hm, I wonder.", White, Yuji and Volt muttered. Kazuma just took a sigh "Ah, fine. Fine, I get it, I'm a menace or what not. Hope of me, will ya?", he said in a tired manner. Ralfold then explained "I already explained that there is going to be one more match. The match between Yuji Takanoguro and Tendra Katakuri.", White clicked his tounge "Tch! A fight between two cold hearted killers, huh? I'd actually want to see where this would go.", he thought to himself. Ralfold then commanded "Both participants of the final round should get down here, NOW!". Yuji and Tendra on hearing Ralfold's command walked down the stairs all the way to the battle stage, both Yuji and Tendra stood against each other. Yuji's eyes seemed firm but sharp, he didn't showcase any emotion rather than indifference and a little bit of seriousness in his eyes, Tendra's eyes were also firm and calm. His Katana was on the left side of his waist, and he seemed rather straight forward as well. Ralfold then took two steps back "You both know the rules of this game, you're to go all out with everything you have. No holding back and no excuses.", Ralfold called out "Ready.", both boys narrowed their eyes, "Set?.....", Yuji had drawn out two of his daggers, while Tendra was ready to unsheathe is Katana. Ralfold called out "FIGHT!", Yuji fully drew out his daggers for defence, but a slash of energy had clashed with his daggers the moment he drew them out, a huge [CLANG] was heared as Yuji blocked "Huh?", he looked confused. Tendra rushed in at a terrifying speed, Yuji hadn't fully processed the situation yet before Tendra appeared behind him and was ready to slash him with his sword, but Yuji immediately turned around and blocked the incoming sword strike with his daggers. Tendra was a little surprised "He blocked my sword strike?", White, Volt and Kito were shocked for a moment "Did you guys.... see that?", Kito asked. Volt replied "That Tendra guys sword slash was almost too fast too see.", Kazuma and White on the other hand just watched, no words, just eyes on the fight. After Yuji and Tendra had clashed for a few seconds with their blades, they both jumped back and gave themselves some space. Yuji thought to himself "Wait a minute...! His slash from earlier, I didn't see it at all. If my body hadn't reacted on its own, that slash that he had released from the start would have taken me out. What the hell was that slash?", Tendra thought to himself "He was able to block my slash? No, his body reacted on its own, he couldn't see my slash at all. Was that some kind of muscle memory?", Tendra's eyes narrowed "Whatever, I'll just end him with my next set of strikes.". Both boys stared at each other for a few seconds before rushing in at each other and clashing their daggers and Katana's at devastating speeds. Each strike from either of the two boys were extremely deadly, Yuji's daggers strikes were aiming to cut Tendra and give him deep cuts, but Tendra on the other hand was parrying Yuji's daggers strikes and was also hopping to stab and cut Yuji so badly that he wouldn't be able to fight anymore. As they kept fighting like this, they started to blitz around, they were performing all sorts of stunts while trying to almost kill each other. Yuji's daggers were shorter, but he was still able to make them reach his opponent, Tendra on the other hand had more experience with sword play, it was very easy for him to keep up with Yuji's insane strikes while also trying to attack Yuji as well. Tendra thought to himself "No kidding, this Takanoguro guy is extremely trained when it comes to using blades, especially daggers. Not just that, but each and everyone of his strikes would give me lethal injuries. But regardless, he's still fodder, nowhere on the level of the the Katakuri's", Tedra's eyes glowed blue and took the eye shape of a wolf. Yuji obviously noticed this, he was a bit stunned "Huh?". Before he knew it, Tendra kicked Yuji away from him, gathered a huge amount of energy while they were almost as high as the ceiling and called out "Katakuri Technique: Slash Night", he sent a powerful slash at Yuji. Yuji was stunned to see how fast this attack was heading towards him, his eyes widened in shock "What the...?", he exclaimed before his arm suffered a deep cut from the slash. Yuji was in shock, he had a wary look on his face. Not just that, but the rest of the boys were stunned as well, except from Kazuma and White. White had a more focused face while watching the fight. Yuji was still focused on the cut he got from Tendra's attack "What the hell? So fast...! I couldn't see it at all!", he looked forward and saw Tendra above him preparing the same attack again "Sorry, but I can't let a lower person than I am beat me in a fight!", Tendra said to Yuji in a cold tone with his eyes glowing cold blue. This statement from Tendra obviously triggered Yuji with annoyane"What did you just say...?", Yuji asked with aggression slowly building up in his voice and eyes. Tendra called out "Katakuri Technique: Rapid fire wolf slashes!", Tendra started to release rapid fire slashes of blue energy at Yuji while they both were in the air. These slashes were much more bigger than the slash he had sent earlier, Yuji was blocking and tanking the powerful slashes from Tendra. He coated his arms with his energy, but his arms were still bleeding from the slashes "This bastard..... just called me weak!", he muttered to himself with anger slowly building up in his eyes and voice. Kazuma's eyes were shadowed by his hair, he proceeded to smirk "Tendra Katakuri, you done goofed!".
