Kai was surprised to see Fury's armour. From the books in the Garden of Eden, he knew the type of armour he was facing. Armour of the Legions.
"I wonder where he got the armour of a Legion, I hope it was a Legion of the upper ranks," Kai said. No one could see the eon. He was high up even among the stands and surrounded by people who could not recognise him. No one would have noticed him here.
At that moment, two young men were looking at each other on the field. There was determination in their eyes.
Fury lunged forward and swung his giant sword horizontally at Elena, but the size of the sword and the weight of the armour were his weakness. It required extraordinary strength to wield them comfortably. Even if Fury was very strong for his level, it was not enough for Legion armour.
In a swift move, Elena jumped up and kicked the broad surface of the Sword. The force of the kick sent the sword crashing to the ground, but there was something Elena hadn't thought of.
Fury quickly dropped the sword and struck Elena with his fist. Elena noticed the punch but could only defend herself with her spear. Still, Fury's sheer power was terrifying. Elena couldn't get away with this simple act.
Elena did a few somersaults on the ground as she flew rapidly and lay motionless. Blood could be seen dripping onto the ground. Fury looked at Elena for a brief moment, then picked up his sword and walked to the stands. He knew the power of his own fist. For a delicate girl like Elena, this fist was very dangerous. If it hadn't been for Green Lightning, she might have died. Still, she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. He obviously expected more from Elena.
"W-where are you going? W-this fight isn't over yet."
Fury looked in the direction of the voice coming from behind him and saw Elena standing up forcibly. He immediately took a fighting stance as the disappointment on his face disappeared. He didn't even care that half of Elena's face was bloody. He just wanted to hear that sound. The song of swords.
Elena spat a bloody spit from her mouth and held her spear with a serious expression. A Blue lightning bolt appeared under her left eye. Then a base of Green lightning formed beneath the Blue Lightning. Finally, his lightning began to glow violently. He was pushing the limits of his potential. This was similar to Michael's potential push 200 years ago, but nowhere near as far. The level Michael had reached was enough to damn him.
Elena rushed forward. She swung her spear into Fury's chest. Fury was surprised by such a simple move, but he tried to defend with his sword.
But Fury was forgetting one thing. Elena was a Seer. What she was doing now was just a diversion.
Elena twirled her spear like a snake and thrust it into Fury's shoulder, but she was wrong. Fury's armour was too strong.
Elena used the same tactic once more and thrust her spear into the same place, but it didn't seem to do any good. There wasn't even a scratch on the armour.
Meanwhile, the other fights had resumed, but Melony and Milah were still watching the fight. It looked like they weren't going to start the fight until Elena and Fury's fight was over.
There were countless attacks. Elena couldn't hurt Fury. Fury kept looking at Elena with a dirty smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, Elena. I have yet to meet a human at my level who can damage this armour." Fury said. Elena smiled as she stepped back and took her spear in front of her and began to focus.
Fury was not a man to wait like an idiot for Elena to make her move. He immediately pulled out his giant sword and lunged forward, swinging it at Elena.
"One more blow like that punch and I'm done. Fury, you really are a strong opponent. Not only did you make me use the full power of my Potency, but also the ability of my spear, but it's over now."
"Don't pierce!!!"
Elena's ability was not like other weapon abilities. It was a passive effect. The stronger the wielder, the stronger the weapon. And it provided incredible piercing power. At the peak of this ability, there was nothing her spear couldn't pierce.
When Elena and Fury's weapons collided, a hole appeared in Fury's sword. Elena's spear shot out of the hole and moved forward to pierce Fury's armour.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Fury's armour entered Fury's watch and Fury caught the spear with incredible speed. The speed he had without the armour exceeded even Elena. He had worked hard to use this armour. If there was no weight on it, no one on the Green Lightning's Head could even see her.
Elena was surprised, but she moved quickly and swung her fist at Fury. But Fury had a sense of rage. His eyes flashed, and a lightning bolt from the bottom right reached his pupil. The green lightning base showed Fury's power.
Fury disappeared. And when he reappeared, he was the furthest away from Elena. He had a determined look in his eyes. Suddenly, he bent his legs. An unbelievable aura began to cover the surface of his body. Realising what was happening, Elena picked up her spear and pointed it forward. Fury was using the Green Lightning Technique.
Elena's green lightning technique was a defence technique. She was supposed to capture all of the power and send it back to her opponent. But Elena wasn't sure she could do that. Still, she had no choice at the moment.
A circle formed at the tip of the spear. The inside of the circle was empty. Just a circle, but Elena knew the power of this circle. All or nothing.
Fury's power was a body strengthening technique. The progress they had made on the road was the technique they needed most. Fury needed an incredible physical strength for his Legion armour. The Paths had given him this technique.
Fury put all his strength into his arm as he entered the limits of the skill. Even with a plan in mind, he, like Elena, wasn't sure he would succeed.
Fury stepped down hard and as he shifted the earth, he burst through the cracks and swung his fist at Elena.
Elena swung her spear forward as she felt the force. Fury's fist and Elena's spear came within inches of each other.
At that moment, the metallic tinkling of Fury's watch sounded. In a tenth of a second, Fury's armour covered Fury's arm.
BOOOM!!!
When the explosion sounded, everyone's eyes turned to the field where Fury and Elena were. The dust that was released prevented them from seeing the result.
The dust and smoke dispersed and three people appeared. Elena was unconscious. She was off the field, but where she was unconscious was exactly in Quentin's lap. Quentin quickly jumped on the pitch and caught Elena before she hit the ground. Quentin disappeared from where he was and went to where the Head Healer was.
Fury was standing, despite the confusion in everyone's eyes. He could hardly breathe. His legs were shaking. His hand was still in the air. Where Elena's spear had come from was protected by Fury's armour, but it didn't stop the sound of his ribs cracking. He was about to collapse when Kronos grabbed him and took him to the healers.
Both men were badly wounded, but the winner was in front of everyone. Fury had won this fight.
Clara took Elena's spear and went to him.
The fight was over, but the duelling was not. Melony and Milah were still attacking each other with fake attacks.
"I wonder if I'm a little too far behind, Zachery?" said Toma. He was at the peak of the peak of the blue lightning. Zachery was also half a step behind, but he didn't seem to have any intention of moving to the green lightning. Although no one knew it, he didn't switch to Green Lightning just so Toma wouldn't feel left behind. In fact, he could switch to Green Lightning any time he wanted.
"No, you'll definitely be a half-step soon," Zachery said. Even though he said it just so Toma wouldn't get upset, it was true. Toma was not a slow developer. He was very talented. Only the others were too talented.
Meanwhile, Kai was examining the 4th and 3rd Grades. The first 3 katas of the 3rd Grades didn't interest him anyway. They were mostly half steps. There were a few people who had switched to Orange Lightning.
Grade 1s try to move to Blue Lightning. 2nd graders try to move to Green Lightning, and 3rd graders try to move to Orange Lightning. If someone failed to become an Orange Lightning at the end of the 3rd grade, they were expelled from the academy.
Grades 4 tried to become a Red Lightning, but becoming a Red Lightning was not a simple task and only advanced grades and Great Geniuses could become a Red Lightning.
The most difficult was the 5th grade. They tried to get into Purple Lightning and this was considered the most difficult. Purple Lightning was a limit. It was not like other Lightning. After this lightning it was much more difficult to overcome the difficulties.
It was too terrifying for the 1st graders to switch to Green Lightning. So these students would switch to Orange Lightning in Grade 2? And Grade 3? Would they switch to Red Lightning then? In Grade 4, what would happen if they did something horrible like switch to Purple Lightning? The branches of the army and the parents would do their best to get them on their side. Even though Zachery was a genius like them, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
Kai felt the same way. He had made up his mind. He was going to challenge the 4th graders. But he couldn't go empty-handed.
Since Kai was in the back row, he didn't attract much attention. At the same time, Emma didn't see him because he was in the 1st year's area. He didn't care if anyone saw him. Only Emma. Just don't let her see.
A young man appeared next to Kai, his body was half-dimmed. He had jet black hair and eyes. He looked very similar to Kai and Uranus in appearance.
"Sean, you go to the Garden of Eden and wait for my Sword to merge with the Poison. Bring it to me when it is ready. It should be ready today." said Kai.
Sean disappeared and Kai continued to watch the field. The good fights were just beginning.
At that moment, Kevin suddenly got up and walked down the court. Everyone's eyes were on him. There was a monster on the field, also in Green Lightning. It certainly wasn't going to be a simple challenge.
"I challenge Jack."
