"Finally! After a long battle, the Seven Star Sword Festival ushers in the long-awaited match to determine who is this year's Seven Star Sword King, Is it Kurogane Ikki, the Uncrowned Sword King who has pulled down the Seven Star Sword King from his throne! Or Stella Vermilion , the Crimson princess with the burning fire will ascend to the throne and become the new seven star sword king Let's announce the start of the game together" Hangetsu said excitedly.
"Let's go ahead!"
"Come, Intetsu!"
"Serve me, Laevatein!"
In the middle of the arena, Kurogane Ikki and Stella faced each other and summoned their respective devices.
"Satan Fang"
Stella summons seven fire snakes to attack Ikki from various directions at the same time which Ikki easily dodges, because Ikki often watches Stella's matches, although he has never fought her, he has learned Stella's imperial sword skills.
"Saigeki"
Ikki focused all his force vectors directed towards the tip of his sword and charged towards Stella quickly.
"Dragon Stamp"
Seeing the attack coming, Stella stomped her right foot and created a large wave of fire to attack Ikki.
Seeing the wave coming, Ikki had to dodge and change the direction of his attack.
Ding...ding...ding..
Seeing Ikki's attack coming again, Stella slashed with her sword while shooting fire bullets.
As their swords collided, Ikki felt his hands tremble due to Stella's immense power.
"Raikou"
Ikki quickly performed a quick horizontal slash which was blocked by Stella.
"Dragon Possession"
Stella activated Dragon Possession to increase all her attributes several times.
After activating Dragon Possession, Stella continued to pressure Ikki and didn't let him breathe freely.
Ding...ding...bang...
Ikki was once again thrown by Stella's terrifying strength. Ikki's condition is currently very bad with various wounds on his body.
'I have to end this quickly, or I will run out of strength first' thought Ikki as he looked at the wounds on her body and the condition of Stella who was still able to breathe regularly after fighting for so long.
"Onii-sama, fight, don't give up!" Shizuku's cheers from the audience seats supported Ikki.
"Ittou Shura"
Ikki uses Ittou Shura to increase his strength in one minute.
"Saigeki"
Ikki ran quickly towards Stella and focused all his strength on the tip of his sword.
"Katharterio Salamandra"
Seeing Ikki's attack, Stella swung a tens of meters long flame sword towards Ikki very quickly.
'I must win!' Ikki thought as he looked at Stella's extremely fast sword and continued forward without any intention of retreating.
As he got closer to Stella's flame sword, Ikki seemed to see the black chains that were trying to stop him from gaining more power, with steely and unyielding determination, Ikki without hesitation charged forward and instantly broke the black chains.
The moment the chain broke, Ikki felt his magic power increase and decided to put all this additional magic power into his attack. Ikki put his right hand on the hilt of the sword while pushing it, while his left hand held the blade of the sword while pulling Intetsu back and slashing very quickly and leaving only an afterimage.
When everyone regained consciousness, they only saw Stella fainted in Arena, while Ikki used Intetsu to support his body.
There was silence for a moment among the audience before cheering loudly.
"Dallet"
Noah came to Stella who had fainted and restored all her injuries to their original state before Stella opened her eyes.
"Did I lose?" Stella asked without any regret that she lost.
Stella is a straightforward person, if she loses then she will admit it and not make excuses.
"Are you okay, Stella?" Noah asked concerned and helped Stella stand up.
"I'm fine," said Stella with a smile, she didn't feel sad when she lost, after all she had fought as hard as she could.
"Okay, then let's go back, I'll cook whatever you want," Noah said to Stella before walking away together.
Meanwhile, Shizuku, who was in the audience seat, immediately approached Ikki and hugged him to prevent him from falling.
"Are you okay, Onii-sama?" Shizuku asked concerned.
"It's okay, Shizuku," Ikki said softly.
"Everyone let us welcome the new seven star sword King, who has put up an extraordinary fight, with the strength of the weakest he has defeated the strongest! The Another One, Kurogane Ikki"
Hangetsu announced excitedly.
"Kurogane!" "Kurogane!"
Many cheers celebrated Ikki's victory.
Ikki then leaves the arena with Shizuku to rest before attending the awards ceremony.
"Congratulations, Kurogane-kun, I didn't expect you to actually win the championship" said Kurono when giving him the award medal.
"Thank you, principal," said Ikki gratefully.
"But your journey is still long and there will be many difficulties," said Kuruno with a sigh when she thought of the people from the Kurogane clan who opposed Ikki.
"I will try my best to face it and now I no longer need to get their recognition, as long as there is someone who acknowledges me" said Ikki while looking at Shizuku gently.
Seeing Ikki's gaze, Shizuku lowered her head in shame.
"Ohoo... interesting, I'll see where you go."
Kurono said with amusement when she saw Ikki and Shizuku.
After leaving the awards stage, Ikki saw Noah and Stella waiting for him in the Academy hallway.
"Congratulations, Ikki, if you need help, just tell me, I will try to help you, after all we are friends" said Noah.
"Thank you then," Ikki answered without refusing Noah's help.
"Congratulations Ikki, and congratulations too Shizuku" said Stella congratulating him, only the second part of her sentence made Ikki confused while Shizuku's face turned red.
"Then we'll go first," said Noah before turning around.
