After a short break, Saruto and Ryan returned to the ring, everyone eagerly anticipating the final fight that would determine the champion.
The two rivals entered the ring, greeted each other, and each vowed victory. The referee signaled the start, and the fight began with a flurry of punches and maneuvers, each trying to evade the other's attacks and test their speed and reflexes. The ground shook with every blow, and sparks flew from the impacts.
Then, each began to shape his weapon. Saruto drew his two swords, which were bound by chains, while Ryan shaped his imposing sword covered in dragon scales. Their weapons clashed with force, creating shockwaves that reverberated throughout the ring, making everyone present sway in their seats. They began to strike back and forth. Then, Saruto stepped back, manipulating his swords, moving them from their chains, and attacking Ryan from a distance to create a distance between them. Ryan began to deflect every attack Kane launched with his sword, then seized Saruto's swords.
In a moment of silence, Ryan looked at Saruto in surprise and said in a powerful voice,
"How long will you continue to hide your true identity and power? Heir of Darkness."
The attendees began to wonder what he meant, whispering amongst themselves. What did he mean by "Heir of Darkness"? Hadn't the Director said he wouldn't be coming to the Academy? Meanwhile, Saruto laughed confidently and said,
"Then no more disguises... because I'm tired of playing the ordinary boy."
In a dramatic moment, Saruto completely removed his disguise, appearing before everyone in his true form: his black hair glittering, his violet eyes like a hawk's, and his energy blazing intensely. His aura rose, filling the arena with the dark energy of the Luin family flowing within him.
Saruto raised his voice before everyone:
"I am Saruto, Heir of the Luin family!"
Everyone froze in astonishment—students and professors alike—at the sight of Luin's heir in disguise. The headmaster was amazed by the sheer power that erupted from Saruto. The circus was finally exposed; the fight was about to become spectacular.
Saruto and Rain stepped forward and stood facing each other, each ready to unleash their full might. The arena was ablaze with the clashing energy of Luin's heir and the Dragon Heir, and everyone knew this would be the decisive showdown that would determine who was the strongest in this academy.
