School Academy

**At School**

Lin Xio was astounded by the grandeur of the academy before him.

A woman with black hair and silver eyes approached Lin Xio.

"Hey, Lin Xio. You have a tournament today, right?"

Lin Xio, who did not recognize the girl, pointed his finger at her.

"Oh yeah, what's your name, Miss?" he asked.

The girl looked angry and, without hesitation, punched Lin Xio in the stomach.

"Did you forget, you idiot? I'm Ming Su. I'm your classmate!" Ming Su grumbled. "And you have a tournament today. I recommend you get ready."

Lin Xio frowned and looked confused.

"Tournament? What tournament?" he asked again.

Ming Su sighed, then pointed towards the academy building.

"This school holds an annual inter-student tournament. And your opponent this time is King Rei. He's your bully and one of the strongest students in this school," she explained.

After hearing Ming Su's explanation, Lin Xio entered the building. He turned and looked at the girl.

"I will defeat him," he said with determination.

Lin Xio left Ming Su at the academy gate and headed to the seating area to watch the tournament.

"So this time it's King Rei versus Aurota? I need to gather mana to prepare for my fight with Rei," Lin Xio muttered as he walked towards an empty seat.

He sat down and quietly began gathering Qi and mana.

**POV Battle: King Rei VS Aurota**

Lin Xio sat in the stands, his eyes fixed on the large arena in the middle of the academy. The atmosphere was tense yet festive as students gathered to witness the tournament.

King Rei stood arrogantly in the center of the arena, his face showing the arrogance Lin Xio had long known. With tousled black hair and a sturdy, muscular body, he looked very intimidating.

On the other side of the arena, Aurota was preparing. Unlike King Rei, Aurota exuded a calm yet deadly aura. Her long white hair fluttered in the wind, and her sharp eyes stared straight at her opponent.

"Let the battle begin!" a voice announced, signaling the start of the fight.

King Rei quickly attacked, his hands creating a whirlwind aimed directly at Aurota. However, Aurota swiftly dodged, her movements so agile it seemed as if she was dancing in the air.

"Not like that, Rei!" Aurota shouted, leaping and launching a large fireball as a counterattack.

King Rei laughed dismissively, raising a contemptuous hand and smashing the fireball with a single punch. "Your power is not enough to fight me," he sneered.

Aurota remained unfazed. Quickly, she formed a magic circle in the air, releasing several ice projectiles that shot rapidly towards Rei. King Rei turned, creating a wind shield to deflect the attack. However, one of the projectiles managed to hit his shoulder, making him wince in pain.

"You underestimated me, Rei," Aurota said with a smile. "I have trained hard for this tournament."

The fight intensified. King Rei became serious, exerting his full power. With a loud roar, he summoned lightning from the sky, striking Aurota with a deadly attack. Aurota ran to dodge, but one bolt hit her, knocking her to the ground.

The audience held their breath. But Aurota slowly stood up, her body injured but her eyes burning with determination. "This isn't over," she said hoarsely.

Aurota began gathering energy in her hands, combining the power of fire and ice. With a swift movement, she launched a powerful combined attack towards Rei. King Rei tried to deflect it, but the attack was too strong, piercing his wind shield and throwing him backward.

"You've grown stronger, Aurota," Rei said more seriously. "But I haven't shown my full power yet."

King Rei stood with difficulty, raising both hands to the sky. Dark clouds began to gather, and thunder rumbled from afar. Suddenly, lightning struck around him, surrounding him with a terrifying electric aura.

"This is the end for you," Rei said, his eyes glowing with electric light.

However, Aurota remained calm. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the power of nature around her. With a wave of her hand, she summoned wind and air, creating a massive vortex that shielded her from Rei's lightning attack.

The power of the two clashed, creating a massive explosion that shook the entire arena. The spectators watched in awe as the dust slowly settled, revealing both fighters still standing, though severely injured.

Both King Rei and Aurota stared at each other with strong determination. The dust cleared, revealing their wounds, but the fighting spirit still blazed in their eyes. Lin Xio sat tensely, watching their every move.

King Rei raised his hand, releasing a bolt of lightning from his fingertip. "True power will soon be revealed," he said confidently. Lightning surrounded his body, forming a terrifying aura.

Aurota smiled faintly. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the flow of energy around her. "The power of nature will give me victory," she whispered. With a wave of her hand, she summoned wind and air, creating a fast-spinning vortex around her.

The battle continued with even greater intensity. King Rei moved forward at lightning speed, directing a powerful lightning strike at Aurota. However, Aurota quickly countered by controlling the wind around her, creating a protective shield that deflected the lightning.

The clash occurred in the middle of the arena, sending wind and lightning flashes in all directions. The audience watched in awe, their eyes wide at the fierce battle. Aurota leaped back, avoiding Rei's subsequent attacks. She raised her hand, creating a massive fire explosion that directly targeted her opponent.

King Rei frowned, gathering lightning power in both hands and launching a counterattack. The two powerful forces collided in the air, creating a wave of energy that shook the arena. Both were thrown back but quickly stood up, ready to continue the fight.

"I won't let you win easily, Rei," Aurota shouted. She began gathering the natural energy around her, summoning the power of fire, air, and wind. Her body glowed with a bright light, displaying tremendous power.

King Rei smiled coldly. "Your power is amazing, but it is not enough." He raised his hands to the sky, summoning an even larger and more powerful lightning bolt than before. Lightning flowed into his body, enhancing his terrifying aura.

Attack after attack was launched, each using their best abilities. Aurota unleashed blazing fireballs, accompanied by freezing air blasts, creating a difficult combination to deal with. King Rei deflected them with his lightning shield, but Aurota's attacks were so quick and strong, forcing him to continuously retreat.

At one point, Aurota managed to get close to King Rei and delivered a punch with hands coated in fire and ice. The punch hit King Rei's chest, pushing him back. However, King Rei quickly retaliated with a lightning strike, knocking Aurota to the ground.

Lin Xio held his breath, watching the two fighters still standing despite being severely injured. "This is an extraordinary fight," he muttered.

King Rei and Aurota stood up again, their bodies full of wounds and blood. They stared at each other with determination, knowing that the battle was not yet over.

King Rei raised his hand once more, summoning an even larger and more powerful lightning bolt. Aurota responded by gathering all the natural energy around her, creating a massive vortex that combined fire, air, and wind. The two great forces clashed, creating a huge explosion that shook the entire arena.

The audience watched, waiting for the dust to clear. In the middle of the arena, both fighters were still standing despite looking exhausted and severely injured. But their eyes showed that they had not given up.

Aurota smiled, though blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. "We're not done yet, Rei."

King Rei nodded slowly. "This battle will determine who is the strongest."

The fight continued with even higher intensity. The two fighters used all their strength and skills, attacking and defending with incredible speed. Every strike caused a massive explosion, leaving the audience in awe.

Aurota launched her final attack, combining all the elemental powers she possessed. The attack moved swiftly, hitting King Rei's body with tremendous force. King Rei tried to deflect it with his lightning shield, but Aurota's attack was too strong, throwing him back and knocking him to the ground.

The audience fell silent, waiting for the outcome of this fight. King Rei slowly stood up, his body full of wounds, but he was still standing. He smiled faintly, acknowledging his opponent's strength. "You are truly strong, Aurota."

Aurota smiled, though she looked exhausted. "You are too, Rei."

The referee raised his hand towards Aurota and Lin Xio. "Next match: Lin Xio versus Aurota."
