The dust and smoke of the shattered arena swirled thickly, floating debris of rock, ice, and scorched earth drifting unnaturally. Even in unconsciousness, Koha’s aura pulsed faintly, radiating a dangerous energy. The diamond crystals on his forehead shimmered, echoing the omnipotent surge that had nearly destroyed the arena.
Professors hovered above him, chanting urgently. Every word created layers of containment: dimensional anchors, energy dampeners, and reinforced magical barriers. Each pulse of Koha’s residual energy tested their limits, sending arcs of electricity and bursts of elemental power across the battlefield.
“This is terrifying,” one professor whispered. “Even unconscious, he could level this entire sector if we fail. Every precaution is critical.”
Rio staggered forward, bloodied and scorched. He kept moving, summoning 바람의 질주 Baram-ui Jilju – Wind Sprint to avoid falling debris while preparing countermeasures. “I’ve faced dangerous foes before,” he said, voice tense, “but nothing like him. One stray pulse, and we’d all be gone.” He glanced at Yin and Huo. “We have to stabilize him without triggering another surge.”
Yin hovered gracefully, glowing hands weaving protective wards. He used Éclat Sacré – Sacred Burst and Torrent Protecteur – Protective Torrent to shield themselves from residual fire and lightning. Tiny arcs of 雷鳴の槍 Raimei no Yari – Spear of Thunder flickered across the arena, ice shards trembled, and floating debris threatened to strike at any moment. “His magic… it’s alive,” Yin murmured. “Every movement of ours interacts with it unpredictably.”
Huo planted himself firmly, channeling Escudo Inquebrantable – Unbreakable Shield while reinforcing it with Tormenta de Fuego – Firestorm. Sparks of Koha’s lingering 無限光輝 Mugen Kōki – Endless Radiance and 天地無限 Tenchi Mugen – Infinite Heaven and Earth pulsed, striking him like lightning. Huo gritted his teeth. “He’s not just powerful… he’s a walking apocalypse.”
Koha’s faint residual aura surged periodically, triggering unstable waves of elemental energy. Small arcs of 氷結の矢 Hyōketsu no Ya – Arrow of Ice spun across the arena while 紅蓮の嵐 Guren no Arashi – Crimson Inferno Storm flared briefly from floating fire shards. Nature itself seemed to react as 蔦の束縛 Tsuta no Sokubaku – Vines of Binding wriggled from cracks in the ground, reaching for debris and even their protective barriers.
Rio leapt across fragments, swinging 불꽃 회오리 Bulkkot Hoeori – Flame Whirlwind to clear debris while remaining mobile. Yin reinforced wards using Renouveau Vital – Vital Renewal and Illumination Céleste – Celestial Illumination, channeling healing energy to prevent Koha’s residual chaos from harming the team. Huo countered sudden bursts of lightning with Ráfaga Protectora – Protective Gust, stabilizing the area around the unconscious mage.
Professors, exhausted and tense, chanted in unison. They layered 魔法結界 Mahō Kekkai – Magic Barrier, 無限の力 Mugen no Chikara – Power of Infinity, and advanced dampening spells to suppress Koha’s energy. Each pulse of residual power caused small tremors: rocks levitated, ice shards spun, and sparks danced unpredictably, testing the containment wards.
Minutes passed like hours. Rio, Yin, and Huo coordinated with meticulous precision. Every action had to counter the unpredictable surges of 光の抱擁 Hikari no Hōyō – Embrace of Light, 絶望の渦 Zetsubō no Uzu – Vortex of Despair, and 魔力弾 Maryoku Dan – Arcane Bolt that occasionally flared from Koha’s unconscious body.
Finally, the chaotic energy dimmed. Floating debris settled, ice melted safely, and arcs of electricity dissipated. Koha remained unconscious, fragile but radiating faint residual power—a soft, ominous glow hinting at future surges.
Rio knelt beside him, chest heaving. “Fragile… and yet capable of destroying everything,” he muttered. Yin hovered close, reinforcing the last protective wards. “We’ve seen just a fraction of his true potential. If he awakens without control…” His voice trailed off.
Huo scanned the arena. “We survived. Barely. Koha isn’t just the strongest student… he’s an apocalyptic force. Fragile, yes, but utterly lethal.”
The professors exchanged solemn glances. “We’ve stabilized him… for now. But this was only a preview. One conscious surge, and nothing could contain him.”
Even unconscious, Koha’s faint residual energy radiated across the arena. Every observer understood the truth: this soft young mage was a storm contained in human form, capable of annihilation with a single touch. The shattered arena was proof that his potential far exceeded comprehension, and the day he fully masters his abilities would bring consequences beyond imagination.
