章節 32: Chapter 32: Echoes of Destiny
The training grounds of the academy were buzzing with excitement as the main competition day approached. The stadium's stands were completely packed with students, instructors, and onlookers, and banners floated in the breeze. The Blades of Destiny were gathered in the prep room, their faces a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
With pride in his eyes, Master Jiro walked up to his team. He said, his voice strong and comforting, "Today is the day you've all been training for." "Keep in mind all you've learned, have faith in your ties, and fight with honor."
Unwavering in his resolve, Kaito clinched his fists. He was aware that confronting Aki, a member of his family who is on the Fire Sorcerer squad, would put his fortitude to the test. His mind was constantly plagued by thoughts of their common past as rivals and relatives.
The crowd roared in applause as the Blades of Destiny entered the arena. Aki, Takeshi, and Yumi made up the other squad and were positioned at the opposite end. Aki radiated confidence as flames danced at his fingertips. Takeshi, the mysterious sorcerer who could produce psychedelic black gases, appeared composed. Yumi, the piercingly blue-eyed archer, steadily held her bow.
The competition had straightforward rules. Each team would send out one player at a time, and the fight would go on until one team's three players were victorious. First up came the long-awaited confrontation between Kaito and Aki.
As they entered the battle zone, Kaito and Aki looked each other in the eyes. Aki's flames flashed menacingly, illuminating his face with a blazing glare. As Kaito called upon the force of the air, his azure aura swirled all around him. As the combat got started, you could feel the intensity in the arena.
Without delay, Aki hurled a scalding wave of flames towards Kaito's direction. Before the flames could reach him, Kaito quickly summoned a whirlwind of air to scatter them. He sprinted forward, his steps swift and deliberate, attacking Aki with a flurry of airborne blows.
Because of his impressive control over fire, Aki was able to repel Kaito's attacks with cascades of dancing flames. Fire and air engaged in a stunning display of strength on the battlefield as it transformed into a battleground of the elements.
Takeshi and Hiroshi, who had been closely studying the combat, exchanged knowing looks in the meantime. Takeshi's purpose in this fight was to use his hallucinogenic gases to distort the opponent's perception. Following up with precise blows, Hiroshi would take advantage of the commotion.
With his bat spirit, Kuro, perched on his shoulder, Takeshi entered the arena. When he reached out his palm, a substantial cloud of dark vapors engulfed the battleground. The unexpected darkness knocked Aki off balance, and as hallucinations played games on his mind, he stumbled.
The Swift Swordsman, Hiroshi, seized the chance. With a fluidity that seemed almost supernatural, he moved through the air with his blade, cutting with exactness. Aki strained to defend himself since the illusions impaired his senses.
Aki was defeated in a flash when Hiroshi's blade connected with its target. As Kaito and Hiroshi returned to their team's side, victors but exhausted from the combat, the audience went silent in shock.
Yumi had to go forward now that the opposition team had one less player. Her opponents were unnerved by her icy, calculating look and her legendary archery prowess throughout the academy.
Masumi, the Blind Archer, entered the arena, her bond with Yoru, the spirit of the owl, being stronger than ever. She was aware that she couldn't rely solely on sight. Her world was one of sound and sensation, and her arrow was incredibly accurate in hitting its target.
Yumi and Masumi's conflict became like a dance. Arrows whizzed through the air, and the arena resounded with the sound of steel slicing through feathers. Masumi was able to predict Yumi's moves because to her enhanced senses, and her arrows consistently hit their target.
Masumi appeared to be winning the conflict as it dragged on. Yumi's archery was amazing, but it fell short of Masumi's accuracy and perception. Masumi finished them off with a well-placed shot to ensure their triumph.
The Blades of Destiny advanced toward their objective—winning the competition—after defeating two opponents. But they were aware that their greatest struggle lay ahead of them, a conflict that would put their ties, their fortitude, and their fate to the test.
