After the thrilling events of the previous day, the anticipation in the academy reached fever pitch. The atmosphere crackled with excitement as the students gathered for the highly anticipated test. Today, it would be student against student, adding a new level of intensity to the competition.

Realizing the risks involved in this test, many students decided to take a step back and watch from the sidelines, allowing only a select group of 100 participants to enter the academy arena.

Those who chose not to participate would receive only half the score, acknowledging their decision to prioritize their safety.

Yeon Ji-Hoon and Han Min-Jae, both eager to prove themselves, prepared themselves mentally for the upcoming challenge. They exchanged words of encouragement, each knowing that they had the support of their fellow students.

The Forsaken group, with their eyes set on Ji-Hoon, vowed to give their all to defeat him at any cost. Meanwhile, Kim Jae-Ho, harboring a deep desire to surpass Ji-Hoon, hoped for a chance to face him in the test.

As the test commenced, the energy in the arena reached its peak. The students roared with excitement, their enthusiasm electrifying the air.

The atmosphere in the arena crackled with anticipation as Kang Ji-Sung and Han Min-Jae prepared to face each other in an epic showdown. The crowd held their breath, knowing that this battle would be a clash of extraordinary abilities and fierce determination.

Kang Ji-Sung, known for his fearsome Beast Shifter's Roar ability, exuded a primal aura as he stood tall. His muscles rippled beneath his skin, his eyes gleaming with an animalistic intensity. With razor-sharp claws as his primary weapons, he was ready to unleash his ferocious assault.

On the other side of the arena, Han Min-Jae, with his Archer's Eye Technique ability, projected an air of calm focus. He held his bow firmly, arrows at the ready, his eyes fixated on his opponent.

The bell rang, marking the beginning of the battle. Kang Ji-Sung didn't waste a second, rushing toward Han Min-Jae with a wild roar. His body underwent an astonishing transformation, turning into a half-beast form. His claws grew out, ready to rip and tear his opponent apart.

But Han Min-Jae was prepared. As Ji-Sung lunged forward, Min-Jae utilized his Archer's Eye Technique to track his opponent's movements with uncanny accuracy. With a swift motion, he notched an arrow and let it loose, aiming for Ji-Sung's vulnerable spots.

Ji-Sung, his instincts honed by his beastly nature, evaded the arrow with a graceful dodge. The ground trembled beneath him as he launched himself at Min-Jae, swiping with his deadly claws. Min-Jae swiftly retreated, maintaining a safe distance while keeping his bow at the ready.

The fight continued in a mesmerizing dance of power and finesse. Kang Ji-Sung, with his incredible speed and brute strength, unleashed a flurry of strikes, attempting to overwhelm Han Min-Jae. But Min-Jae's Archer's Eye Technique allowed him to evade each attack with uncanny precision, his arrows finding their mark with deadly accuracy.

The clash of abilities intensified as the battle raged on. Kang Ji-Sung's Beast Shifter's Roar resonated through the arena, shaking the ground and momentarily disorienting Min-Jae. Seizing the opportunity, Ji-Sung closed the distance, his claws slashing through the air.

But Min-Jae, with his quick thinking, utilized his Archer's Eye Technique to its fullest potential. He released a series of arrows in rapid succession, each one finding its mark on Ji-Sung's vulnerable spots. The precision of his shots was awe-inspiring, forcing Ji-Sung to retreat momentarily.

As the fight reached its climax, both Kang Ji-Sung and Han Min-Jae tapped into the depths of their abilities.

In a final, explosive exchange, Kang Ji-Sung unleashed his most devastating attack, a furious barrage of claw strikes. But Han Min-Jae, with unyielding focus and agility, maneuvered around the onslaught. With one last arrow, he aimed true and struck Ji-Sung with pinpoint accuracy.

The arena fell silent as Kang Ji-Sung staggered backward, defeated by the combined prowess of Han Min-Jae's Archer's Eye Technique and deadly accuracy. Both fighters, drenched in sweat and panting for breath, shared a mutual respect for each other's abilities.
