Emma walked past Kai to get onto the pitch. Their eyes met for a brief moment, but they said nothing and ignored each other.

Everyone waited for Summer when Emma arrived on the field. In the other rounds, everyone had fought on different fields. Names were not very memorable. So not many people knew who Summer was.

Kai looked at the person passing by. As soon as he saw it, a great surprise filled his body.

When he saw the boy with the blond curly hair, he understood everything. He knew that boy. He just couldn't figure out how he recognised him. And there was something strange about him. A strangeness beyond recognition, but he could not understand it.

The boy looked at her with a smile and walked out onto the pitch. The girls were completely lost looking at him. Summer had a charismatic look about him. He looked like a handsome biker, but he didn't have a helmet. That wasn't the point. What mattered was the effect he had on women.

Summer was a 1,73 cm tall boy with blonde curly hair and grey eyes. He had a smile on his face. While his teeth were visible, his whiteness melted the hearts of girls. Even some boys were surprisingly impressed, frozen.

Emma kept looking at him. She too felt she recognised this person, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Fight with justice." Emma's eye glowed green as she instantly unleashed her power. Lightning touched her pupil as a bolt of lightning shot out from the bottom left. Half a foot of blue lightning.

Everyone was wondering what Summer was going to do as she quickly lunged at Summer.

Emma had no weapon in her hand. She didn't use any weapon because she thought it would weigh her down.

Summer instantly took a step back as Emma's fist connected with Summer's stomach. Emma's fist had reached the gap. Summer threw a quick left jab. Emma didn't see that coming.

Even if she could see the future, her level was still very low. And her capacity to see was much lower than her. She couldn't see every moment. Only some moments of images appeared in front of her eyes. He controlled a very small part of it. But she didn't think she would need to use it this early in the fight.

Summer's fist slammed into Emma. Kai remembered him.

Emma was knocked off her feet and only stopped when she hit the ground a few metres away. Emma was unconscious as Lena rushed to her side. Lena immediately picked Emma up and carried her away. She was worried about her.

Summer was standing on the field. Her eyes were shining. He was a hothead, but that wasn't his most striking feature. His yellow lightning bolt was fully formed. It was a half-step. Despite this, he was much stronger than Emma, who was on the same level as her.

"The winner of the seventh fight is Summer," Michael said. At the same time, Summer turned to Kai.

Summer was the kid who jumped up in rank the day Melony fought Boyd. He had just reached his peak that day. Half a step in 3 months Blue lightning... It really wasn't bad.

Summer was pointing his finger at Kai, as if telling him he'd be next. He had that smile on hİS face that he never lost.

As Kai'a looked at him, he knew Summer didn't stand a chance against him, but he didn't need to say that. He looked at Summer as he laughed in the same way.

As Summer was leaving the field, Michael came onto the field once again. Of course he was flying.

"Alright let's move on to the next fight. Fight 8 Jack VS Eibg" Jack won the fight quickly, but only because Eibg was only at the top of his peak. He wasn't half a step.

Likewise, Kevin also passed, while only Emma was eliminated from the quartet.

"Fight 10 Sarah VS Trever" Both men came out to the arena. Trever wasn't very handsome. He was just at the top of his game. He showed this clearly in his fight with someone else. He'd cut his hair completely. He had a bald head. He had yellow eyes. He was 1.70 metres tall.

Sarah was a blue-eyed girl with curly blonde hair that came a little lower than her shoulders at 1.65. She had a chubby face and it made her look very cute. Her level was also unknown. She looked a little nervous.

"This is the other person from our house. The one from zone 1. " said Zachery. When Kai heard what Zachery said, he realised that this girl was also strong.

At least he believed that. Milah and Zachery were quite strong and Zachery had said they were all home schooled.

"Fight with justice," Michael said and the fight began.

Trever's eyes flashed as he attacked Sarah with the sword in his hand. The power of his fist multiplied as his rage was unleashed.

As Sarah stepped back in a moment of fear, she stopped for a moment with what came to her mind. Time, time had stopped for her.

Kai had played with her mind. Maybe it would make her stronger. That's why he thought he had to do it now.

As Sarah's surroundings changed, she suddenly saw Zachery in front of her. He was laughing. He was always laughing.

"Come on, win and we'll meet in the next round. I can't wait to beat you hahaha. I don't want to wait for you, remember? We have a promise. " Sarah shivered at Zachery's words, the image changed. Next to Zachery was now Milah. That cold, delicate beauty.

"Don't make us lose. They don't know how strong we are. Let us teach them. That was our promise. Remember our promise." Sarah looked at Milah and realised that she had indeed forgotten. Fear got her nowhere. It was overcoming her fears that made her strong. Fear was not the answer. She had to fight back. Right now it was an experiment. She wouldn't have a chance to be afraid in real life.

"I will not lose." With Sarah's words, the muscles in her body tightened and adrenaline flooded her body. Time returned to its old state.

"I'm not going to give up after I've come this far. And to lose because I'm afraid of someone weaker than me? Bullshit!!!" Trever was just about to cut Sarah with his sword when Sarah returned to the real world.

Sarah's eyes glowed with a green and blue light as the light illuminated the entire arena. And a kilometre and a half from one end of the arena to the other. This sudden brightness suddenly illuminated a very large area.

Sarah hit Trever with the back of her hand and Trever flew more than 10 metres. Sarah's eyes were seen by everyone. Many people in the audience stood up.

"Losing? You've got to be joking. I entered this tournament to win." Sarah's words struck everyone in the heart. These confident words had a resonance proportional to her strength.

Over the yellow lightning in Sarah's eyes, the blue lightning base came out. It covered only a small part of the yellow lightning, but it was still there. Sarah had reached the blue lightning.

Even Boyd paid attention to the fight this time. Another Blue lightning bolt other than his own.

"I guess it's not a sure thing that I'll be first.

Zachery was overjoyed. If Sarah won, they'd be in Zone 2. Even Milah had a surprised look on her face.

Kai was laughing in a corner. No one had seen him.

"I guess it's that easy to impress them. The moment I entered his mind, he switched to blue lightning."

He walked over to Zachery with a puzzled look on his face. It was obvious that most of the progress had been made by Sarah. If Sarah hadn't had that brave heart, she wouldn't have gone blue lightning.

The crowd had seen quite an impressive generation today, but despite this Michael flew calmly through the sky. He had seen better.

"The winner of the tenth fight is Sarah." As Sarah left the field, many eyes were looking at her.

"Fight 11 Boyd VS Gary" Boyd walked out onto the pitch and on the other side Gary walked out onto the pitch. Boyd had nothing in his hands. Gary had a katana in his hand.

While Gary attacked directly at Boyd, this attack could destroy even someone with a half-step blue lightning. Gary was not an ordinary person either. He was clearly strong even among the half-step ones.

While Boyd, like Sarah, hit with the back of his hand, Gary quickly flew in the air and was eliminated just like Trever. There didn't seem to be much difference between them. As Boyd's eyes were seen by everyone, people once again fell silent. Apparently Boyd wanted to steal the spotlight from Sarah.

There was a yellow lightning bolt to the right of Boyd's eyes. Beneath the yellow lightning was a blue lightning base.

"Blue lightning base. " everyone took a cold breath, unable to calculate how many geniuses there were this year.

The participants again took a cold breath. Sarah frowned in the same way. She didn't think anyone could rival her. But someone had entered the blue lightning before her. As a smile formed on her face, the cowardly girl from before was no more.

At least on the surface.

'Blue lightning! I've entered the blue lightning, but now someone's entered it before me! Aah?! What should I do?! Can I win if I meet him?'

Kai was smiling. He already knew that Boyd had crossed the blue lightning. But the people around him were really pissed off. One after another, opponents they couldn't beat appeared.

"The winner of the 11th fight is Boyd! " said Michael. As Boyd came back to his seat, all the participants were looking at him. He just looked in front of him and went to Raiya's side. There was no one in particular he wanted to beat. He just wanted to win the tournament.

"Twelfth fight. Kronos VS Fury!" said Michael. As everyone was looking at the field, a man at the top of his game came onto the field. Fury. He had nothing in his hands. Normally he always had a huge sword in his hand. It was completely out of proportion to his height.

Fury was a six foot tall, black-haired, brown-eyed young man. He was probably the most normal looking of the participants. He was not considered very handsome, but he could not be called ugly either. When he came on the field, he had a sad look on his face.

While the audience and participants were waiting for Kronos to come out, a 2 metre tall boy came out from behind Kai. This was the boy who had mocked Melony. He had a huge battle axe in his hand. He slowly started walking towards the pitch.

He had a smile on his face and all his hair was cut. Even if he was smiling, his green eyes looked wild like a monster.

"Yes, now we will face the fight of two people from the same house again." While everyone's curiosity increased, Kronos had not shown his power in other rounds. But this time it looked like he would. His opponent was as strong as he was.

"Fight with justice." Kronos instantly swung his axe, the lightning in his eye slowly appearing.

"I give up!" Fury instantly gave up and with extraordinary speed he finished at Kronos' feet and covered Kronos' eyes with his hand. Kronos dropped his battle axe in astonishment.

"You don't need to unleash your power to defeat me. You can already defeat me. I know that, and I don't want them to see their limitations."

Fury gave up his chance to shine so Kronos could gain an advantage. If he could curry favour with the seniors in the academy, if he was weak today, he could be stronger than the others tomorrow. Unfortunately, he decided to pass up that chance. What a man! What a fool.

As Kai slowly clapped his hands together, the others began to clap along with him. No matter what, it was a sacrifice. Fury had gained a true friend today. Kronos hugged him and thanked him. He was someone who valued friendship.

The audience joined in, everyone applauding Fury's good deed. Some in the audience were touched. Others despised the gesture. Either way, Fury lost and Kronos earned a spot in the top 16.

Despite Fury's sacrifice, there were still 3 participants who saw Kronos' eyes. Kai, Boyd and Sarah. Fury was clearly weaker than them and despite the distance, they had seen the lightning before Fury could close Kronos' eyes. Although all three applauded, they couldn't stop themselves from looking at Kronos when he turned round. Looking at each other, they couldn't help but think that they weren't that good.

Kai, and only Kai, had seen Kronos switch to blue lightning, but he still considered himself far superior.

After all, he was in the centre of the green lightning in this system.
