Kael Frost vs Daniel Ashworth - Ring Three
Kael's second match of the day drew moderate attention from scouts and instructors interested in tracking the mysterious late-entry student who'd been personally sponsored by Adrian Blackwood.
His opponent, Daniel Ashworth, was a solid mid-tier Elite student with earth manipulation abilities and defensive fighting style. He'd advanced this far through patient, grinding victories that wore down more aggressive opponents.
The referee signaled start, and both competitors immediately activated their respective elements.
Kael opened with his signature ice manipulation, creating crystalline constructs that launched toward Daniel with precise timing. His technique had improved noticeably since the forest hunt - the training and real combat experience were clearly accelerating his development.
Daniel responded by raising earth barriers, dense stone walls that absorbed the ice projectiles while he positioned for counterattack.
