In the first arena, the starting whistle blew, and the fight between Saruto and Kyle began in a massive arena prepared by the manager to withstand the blows. Kyle immediately unleashed an electric attack, causing the ground around them to tremble, and lightning began to race towards Saruto.
Saruto dodged the initial impacts with swift movements, trying to conceal his power in the crowded arena. He formed his swords to absorb the lightning and discharge it into the ground.
The two then exchanged attacks, blows raining down from each other, each one making the arena shake with the clash of their energies.
Kyle, with a sly smile, formed the hammer he had obtained from the treasure room, channeling his energy into it. He then charged at Saruto with a powerful lightning strike, which Saruto cautiously parried, avoiding unleashing his full power. Each tried to break the other's defense, blows raining down like tornadoes, sparks flying from every impact.
Despite Kyle's immense strength, Saruto used his fighting skills and clever maneuvers to gradually force his opponent back. In a sudden burst, Saruto lunged with his swords, but Kyle anticipated this and created a tornado in the arena, momentarily unbalancing Saruto's swords. With a swift attack, Kyle unleashed his lightning-charged hammer on Saruto, who was undefended, and declared, "This is the end for you." Surprised, Saruto smiled. The blow struck Saruto, creating a powerful explosion of electricity. Everyone awaited the winner, only to see that Saruto had blocked Kyle's sword attack. "How?" Kyle asked. Saruto explained, "It's simple. When I used the tornado to disrupt my sword's movement, I canceled their formation and then reactivated them." Saruto increased his power, causing Kyle to automatically retreat. Saruto uses a newly invented skill, transforming his throat into a dragon's throat and breathing fire onto his two swords, which are filled with energy. The swords absorb the fire and become ablaze. Saruto says, "My swords can absorb energy and any element, and with this, I was able to combine fire with them." He focuses all his energy on the swords and prepares to launch a final attack on Kyle. Kyle's energy is nearly depleted due to the failure of his last attack on Saruto. Saruto throws his two swords, linked by chains, at Kyle's stomach, but Kyle dodges them and asks, "Is that all you've got?" He is surprised when the swords change direction and collide, creating a massive explosion near Kyle. Kyle falls to the ground, and Saruto is declared the winner.
In the opposite arena, Lucien was quickly defeated by Ryan. Saruto was surprised by Lucien's swift loss.
Now, the director announces the end of the first and second rounds:
He declares Saruto and Rain the winners and asks them to prepare for the third round.
Everyone at the academy eagerly awaits this decisive battle, where each will demonstrate their true strength, and the champion of this tournament will be determined.
