Before the finals

"Holy f*ck what kind of battle was that?!"

"I don't know, all I know is it was awesome." 

"What are you people talking about that was one boring fight. All it had was just one instance of excitement and it was over." 

"Hmph, what do you weaklings know that fight had a lot going on that people who are too weak could never see." 

The fight between Michael and John greatly stimulated the students. Those who did not understand what had happened were amazed by the sudden burst of attacks, and those who did understand were amazed by the content of that short exchange. 

...

Unlike everyone else Hakai was able to see more, the way Michael moved was that of an assassin. Each attack was deadly if it weren't for the fact that the weapons they were currently using were dulled, maybe Michael had already won on the first strike.
