Elena and Clara were panting as they clashed their weapons once more.

It had been ten minutes since the fight began. But still no one had come forward.

Elena had taken a defensive position as she retracted her claw. Clara accelerated with the power of her legs and attacked.

Elena swung the claw from the right side as Clara's double-sided dagger came to the gap. Clara realised this at the last moment and threw herself to the ground. After Clara fell to the ground, Elena was going to end the match with a sudden move, but Clara turned where she fell and dropped Elena with her foot. Clara got up again using her agility.

While Elena was lying on the ground, Clara swung her fist towards Elena. Clara's fist slammed into the ground as Elena spun around. Elena lifted her feet and wrapped them around Clara's neck as she grabbed Clara by the fist.

When Elena took Clara between her legs, she knew that Clara was not in good shape. It was clear that she was about to faint. She had closed her eyes.

As Clara tried to take a deep breath, Elena squeezed her neck without mercy. She laughed at everyone before a fight, but never in battle. She was in it to win it.

As Clara opened her eyes, the green in her eyes suddenly became darker. Even the yellow of the yellow lightning shone brighter, and suddenly Clara did a backflip with Elena.

Yes, she somersaulted. With what little strength she had left in her body, she threw them both into the air.

Elena had to let go of Clara's neck as they both rose 1.5 metres off the ground. Clara brought her feet together in mid-air. Elena was slightly below Clara.

Clara put both feet together and struck Elena. The blow hit her mercilessly in the stomach. Elena hit the floor. Her back must have been in a lot of pain.

Clara fell to her two feet, one hand on the floor and the other on her throat. She swallowed as she took a deep breath. She had just been about to be defeated.

Elena had a smile on her face as she climbed out of the pit.

The spectators were in for another shock. Of course, it was only the upperclassmen who were shocked. The first years did not have the power to understand what was happening. A new year in the audience looked at the third year next to him with questioning eyes.

"What is everyone so surprised about? And how could Clara suddenly exert so much power."

"She awakened her true potential."

Everyone was horrified by what Clara had done. Even Kai's eyes widened.

"I guess I don't have to do anything. As it is, it will reach the centre of the Blue Lightning in 3 months." If someone heard what Kai said, they would want to strangle him. To go from half-step Blue Lightning to mid Blue Lightning in 3 months was unheard of.

Kai wanted to strengthen his generation, but he didn't know that he shouldn't say such unbelievable things in a crowd.

At that moment, Elena closed her eyes as well. A wave of energy surged through her body. The crowd held their breath. .

"Or... " Before Elena could open her eyes, Clara had attacked once more. Her speed increased several times, and she was instantly in front of Elena. She had nothing in common with the previous Clara. Kai had already realised that his four friends didn't stand a chance against this girl.

Elena had nothing. The claw gun slipped from her hand as Clara slammed her into the ground.

As Elena opened her eyes, her green glowing eyes glowed even brighter. With a sudden movement, she struck the dagger in Clara's hand and it was about 100 metres away.

Clara tried to hit Elena's stomach with her left hand, but Elena saved herself by pulling herself to her right.

As the fight continued, Elena was able to avoid every attack. The spectators were watching two people who had awakened their true potential.

It was extremely difficult to awaken true potential. The number of people who could do it from the 2nd district was almost non-existent. Every few years, such people would join the academy. No one from District 1 expected someone to do such a thing. Unlocking the full potential of the body. How many people spend a lifetime doing that?

At the same time, people who awakened the true potential were much stronger than people at their level. At the same time, their development would accelerate phenomenally.

Kai was laughing. While everyone was wondering why this madman was laughing, no one was afraid.

"Hey, you guys gonna stay up long enough to fight me?"

Kai said this mockingly to the four. Melony stood up angrily. Emma tried to stop her, but Melony had no intention of stopping.

"You think you're on equal footing with us?! You think you're so big!"

Kai just laughed. He didn't say anything, but someone was brave enough to speak for him.

"As long as you don't get eliminated in the top 16, we'll gladly watch what happens when you face him." said the big boy, holding a huge axe. He had his hair in threes. His eyes were like the eyes of a monster. He looked like he was older. But everyone here was the same age as him. Unfortunately, at 2 metres tall, people didn't believe it.

The four were bored. Everyone here was extraordinarily strong. Maybe they could face and defeat only the ones at the top, but when there were 16 of them left.... It wasn't going to be that easy.

As Elena and Clara continued the fight, Clara could no longer move.

Clara was unable to block this attack as Elena hit the deficit she saw at the last moment with all her strength.

Clara was thrown backwards and left the field bouncing on the ground.

Elena fell to the ground as all the sound in the arena died. She had used up all her strength.

"Elena wins! " said Michael. A proud smile appeared on his face. Maybe he had a connection with Elena. Who knew?

A few people picked up the girls from the field and Michael walked around the arena once more. Since the whole arena was being used for these battles, Michael was talking all over the arena.

"Let's move on to the next fight! " said one of the spectators. At that moment everyone started shouting along with him.

"NEXT! NEXT! NEXT! NEXT!" everyone shouted as Kai laughed.

"How wild they are." Everyone was watching as Michael flew into the air again.

"Next fight. Melony VS Tera" Everyone cursed their luck as Melony took the field.

Tera had only lucked his way here from the very beginning. All her opponents were at the beginning of the summit. She had just reached the top of the peak.

All the spectators sighed as Melony defeated her in a single blow. They didn't expect such a simple fight.

"Fight 5 Zachery vs Quantin"

Zachery yawned as he stood up from Kai.

"It's my turn. Watch me well," he said as he walked out onto the field. As Quantin took the field, everyone knew he was going to lose.

Quantin had always faced the top of the top up to this point. He'd pushed himself in every one of them. But he couldn't fight against a half-step. And it was clear that Zachery was a half-step to blue lightning.

Zachery never held back in his fights. He just walked straight and hit his opponent. And when he did that, everyone saw his power. He was stronger than Quentin, if not by half a foot.

As they both came onto the field, a voice was heard.

"I give up!" Everyone looked at Quentin with questioning eyes. This kid had kept them from a great fight. They knew he was talented. Quentin could definitely fight. Now he had summoned the anger of the people by giving up.

"Today, from the very beginning, I beat my opponents with difficulty. Now... I don't want to be crushed. I know I'm going to lose. At least I won't be humiliated like the others. I'm not a stepping stone. This is my path, I'm not going into a fight I'm going to lose. It doesn't matter if you boo me or swear at me. What matters is what I want. And I want it. "As he put down the daggers in his hand, he turned around and walked away from the field.

Angry shouts came to an end. While everyone waited in silence, Zachery bent slightly at the waist. He clasped his hands together. And then he walked off the field. He respected his opponent. But he didn't like the fact that he was willing to lose. He didn't see this as just a tournament. This was a fight for survival.

"The winner of the fifth fight is Zachery"

It was time to move on to the next fight.

"The sixth fight..." As the 6th fight was taking place, 2 people were fighting that no one was paying attention to. Kai looked at Zachery.

"I didn't expect you to react like that, I thought you'd complain or something."

Zachery turned from a child to a wise man as he looked at him.

"I guess you don't know some things about him." Kai thought for a moment and realised that he had never watched any of his matches.

"Quentin.... controls the sense of peace. He doesn't know what it does, he doesn't understand how to control it, but he's trying. To win. He's made it this far. He definitely deserves respect." Kai was surprised. It was very difficult to move forward in a sense of peace. And yet he had made it all the way to the top. He had never given up. Perseverance, if he had been a hothead, he might have been a great genius who had reached the centre of the blue lightning. The fact that he had done it in just a few months would have made him recognised as an amazing man.

"John the Winner" a hazel-eyed boy with green hair stood up on the field. His hair was up in the air. There was no expression on his face. The boy appeared to be about 1,70 cm tall. Everyone was looking at him in amazement. Kai and Zachery did not understand what they were looking at. The faces of the people next to them turned ugly.

"What's going on?" said Zachery. This question was directed to the participants around him.

"That boy has a half-step, a strong half-step," said the big, huge boy who had spoken earlier. His attention was completely directed to that young man. Someone who was likely to make it to the quarter-finals was on the field.

Now it was clear why everyone was looking anxiously. It was because they had another tough opponent. It was hard not to see black lines appearing on their foreheads.

Of course Kai didn't worry about such things. What, had he reached green lightning? He couldn't take anyone seriously who hadn't reached green lightning.

"What about his rival," Kai said. The burly boy shook his head from side to side.

"He was beaten with one punch. He made him believe he was strong, and then he beat him with just one punch. That's when his eyes appeared. He's a rage. "Once again Michael's voice was heard as everyone looked at the boy.

"Fight 7. Summer VS Emma!"
