The arena trembled as the first clash subsided. Students’ eyes were wide with awe, unable to comprehend the sheer precision and raw force of the young mages. The floating runes beneath them quivered, whispering of the power still yet to come. Sky hovered midair, bow drawn, eyes never leaving Koha, who stood centered on the cracked stone, calm as a still pond—but the energy radiating from him hinted at the storm beneath.
Sky’s lips curved in a thin, almost imperceptible smile. “Bene… this is a worthy opponent,” he muttered under his breath, fingers brushing the string of his bow. Lama del Fulmine – Lightning Blade, he whispered in Italian, charging an arrow that crackled with pure electric energy, crackling tendrils arcing outward. Sparks danced in the air, drawn toward Koha like seeking prey.
Koha’s eyes narrowed, a faint glow igniting in his irises. The moment had come to escalate. His calm demeanor shattered subtly as he raised a hand, and the air around him began to tremble with raw energy.
天地無限 (Tenchi Mugen) – Infinite Heaven and Earth34Please respect copyright.PENANAYuDnpHKxMy
The arena floor cracked as immense elemental energy surged upward, stone, water, air, fire, and shadow intertwining into a vast, chaotic lattice of elemental force. Columns of molten fire twisted around jagged stone spires, while torrents of water carved channels through the floating platform. Lightning danced across the sky, meeting swirling vortexes of wind and shadow. The air became dense, vibrating with the intensity of Koha’s ultimate command.
Sky’s eyes widened slightly—he had anticipated a powerful counter, but not this scale. “Perfetto… impressive,” he said, drawing another arrow. Frecce di Catastrofe – Catastrophe Arrows, he muttered in Italian, the seven arrows forming a perfect circle, each elemental-infused: fire, lightning, wind, shadow, water, earth, and ice. They shot forth in simultaneous arcs, converging on Koha with precise deadly accuracy.
Koha tilted his head slightly, unfazed. His voice, low, measured, yet chilling, cut through the crackling chaos:34Please respect copyright.PENANAULhgUGlNYo
光闇融合 (Kōyami Yūgō) – Fusion of Light & Darkness34Please respect copyright.PENANAgOjuOebsIY
A radiant and shadowy dome erupted around him, the incoming arrows striking the energy and dissolving into bursts of harmless sparks. The collision produced a shockwave that rattled the stands, pushing students against the edges of their seats. Some stumbled, clutching at the railings in sheer awe.
“Interesting… he adapts,” Sky muttered, eyes narrowing. He leapt, spinning midair, firing Freccia del Vuoto – Arrow of the Void, a blackened shaft that twisted reality slightly as it sped toward Koha.
Koha’s expression remained calm. 雷鳴の槍 (Raimei no Yari) – Spear of Thunder erupted from his right hand, colliding with the void arrow midair. The resulting explosion sent waves of air outward, sweeping up loose rubble and creating a vortex that tugged at the arena’s edges. Lightning from Koha’s spear danced along the shattered stones, arcing to meet Sky’s elemental arrows.
Sky rolled in the air, narrowly avoiding the arcs of lightning. His bow twanged, sending Lama di Fuoco – Blade of Fire, a massive flaming arrow, streaking toward Koha’s defenses. The air sizzled, heat radiating in waves.
Koha’s hands moved in intricate patterns.34Please respect copyright.PENANAgH3wrQ3olq
氷結の矢 (Hyōketsu no Ya) – Arrow of Ice34Please respect copyright.PENANAXEAf6Ms97z
A frozen spike shot upward, colliding with the flaming arrow. Ice and fire clashed violently, creating a cloud of steam and molten shards. The arena was engulfed in swirling mist, flickers of light and shadow darting through the haze like phantoms.
Sky’s eyes gleamed as he twirled midair, firing a chain of arrows infused with wind and shadow: Frecce del Vento Mortale – Arrows of Deadly Wind, slicing through the mist, attempting to flank Koha.
Koha took a calm breath, the faintest twitch at the corner of his mouth betraying his normally shy demeanor. 疾風の突 (Shippū no Totsu) – Gale Strike erupted, sending blades of concentrated wind in perfect arcs, slicing through Sky’s incoming arrows before they could converge.
The two clashed midair, Koha using 大地の拳 (Daichi no Ken) – Fist of the Earth to launch pillars of stone toward Sky. Sky nimbly dodged, leaping across the crumbling platforms, his movements a perfect blend of agility and precision. He unleashed Freccia del Caos – Arrow of Chaos, a swirling mix of fire and shadow, streaking toward Koha with intent to pierce the defenses.
Koha countered instantly: 流水の刃 (Ryūsui no Yaiba) – Blade of Flowing Water, streams of water slicing and redirecting the chaotic arrow. The collision produced a deafening shockwave, sending up shards of stone and water droplets like meteor showers. Students in the stands gasped in unison, their faces pale with awe.
Sky grinned faintly, recognizing Koha’s skill, but he wasn’t done. He raised both hands, summoning multiple arrows simultaneously: Lama dei Cinque Elementi – Blade of Five Elements, each arrow imbued with fire, ice, lightning, wind, and shadow. They streaked toward Koha from all directions, forming a near-impossible convergence.
Koha’s eyes glimmered brighter, irises spinning with faint magic circles. His voice cut through the storm:34Please respect copyright.PENANAkMDl6UWYGj
終焉の光 (Shūen no Hikari) – Radiance of the End34Please respect copyright.PENANAzIYJcIAOk4
Blinding beams erupted from his hands and eyes, meeting the incoming arrows midair. Light clashed with elemental arrows, producing bursts of force that shook the arena. Air currents violently shifted, and the floating runes quivered under the pressure.
Sky’s eyes narrowed, impressed despite the clash. “Molto… potente,” he muttered, firing Freccia dell’Abisso – Arrow of the Abyss, infused with forbidden power. It pierced the air toward Koha’s left flank, intent to bypass the main defense.
Koha barely moved. His calm voice echoed:34Please respect copyright.PENANA3NcibnTSOW
永遠の抱擁 (Eien no Hōyō) – Embrace of Eternity34Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zk3hFQT4Q
A wave of elemental energy radiated outward, absorbing the abyss arrow midair, disintegrating it in a cascade of sparkles. The heat, cold, wind, and shadow blended seamlessly around him, forming an untouchable aura.
Sky’s expression sharpened. This was the prodigy he had heard about, the one the academy spoke of in hushed tones. But he gritted his teeth. “All right… let’s see how you handle this.”
He nocked another arrow, glowing with a dangerous black energy. Freccia della Distruzione – Arrow of Destruction, forbidden power number two. The arrow rippled reality slightly, stretching the air as it sped.
Koha’s lips parted, voice low but clear:34Please respect copyright.PENANAofOrsgjWcA
絶対支配 (Zettai Shihai) – Absolute Dominion34Please respect copyright.PENANAdol2ySH38a
The arena’s air thickened, time seeming to slow slightly around him. Koha’s aura expanded, light and shadow merging with all elements at his command. The arrow met a radiant barrier, disintegrating instantly in a flash that reflected across the floating stones.
Sky’s eyes widened slightly. He hadn’t expected such a direct, absolute counter, yet he smiled faintly, acknowledging Koha’s skill. He readied Lama della Tempesta – Blade of the Tempest, a combined elemental strike he had been conserving, a mixture of forbidden lightning and wind.
Koha’s calm, cold eyes glimmered once more. 光闇融合 (Kōyami Yūgō) – Fusion of Light & Darkness, he whispered. His body glowed faintly, a perfect shield forming that absorbed the incoming storm like it had been predicted a moment before.
The arena erupted in a deafening roar as light, shadow, fire, water, lightning, wind, and ice collided in a stunning display of elemental mastery. The students gasped, some covering their mouths, eyes wide with awe. Professors murmured in astonishment; even the oldest among them had rarely witnessed such control at this scale.
Sky landed gracefully on a rune near the arena’s edge, breathing steadily. “Bene… you truly are the one they say you are,” he said softly. “But we’re just getting started.”
Koha’s eyes returned to their calm, shy glimmer. He opened the book hovering at his side, whispering under his breath:34Please respect copyright.PENANADf6c6sgrXP
魔力弾 (Maryoku-dan) – Mana Projectile34Please respect copyright.PENANAcyboomRp8L
Small, concentrated bolts of energy hovered in the air, each one ready to intercept any further incoming attack. His aura remained controlled, yet lethal, a dangerous balance of calm and overwhelming force.
The students leaned forward in unison, barely daring to blink, knowing that what followed would surpass all they had seen so far. Sky nocked another arrow, the final escalation of his ultimate power prepared.
