He’s going in with the full force of wind!\"the commentator shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia blocked, but the blow sent her sliding back. Sparks flew. The crowd gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She stopped that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tyler didn’t slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swing after swing, wind trailing behind every strike—wild, fast, and brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia struggled. Her arms shook with each block. She barely dodged a downward slam that cracked the ground beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at that pressure! Altia can’t even breathe right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tyler’s not holding back at all—he wants to end this early!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stands, the Blackthorn students were already cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crush her, Tyler!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send her flying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia tried to jab with her spear, but the wind knocked it off-course.

Tyler raised his mace just in time, but the impact knocked him off his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SHE’S TURNING THE TIDE! WHAT A STRIKE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spear moved like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spin. A swipe.

She spun, sweeping flames along the ground. Tyler tried to jump—but the fire kissed his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AARGHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"TYLER’S IN TROUBLE! THE FLAMES HAVE FOUND THEIR MARK!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia pressed her spear and blasted him point-blank with fire. The heat forced everyone in the front row to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler stumbled—burn marks across his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia rushed in one last time, her eyes blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop holding back!!\" she roared—and drove the spear into his chestplate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flew across the stage—slammed into the far wall—then dropped to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the end?!\" the commentator cried, voice shaking with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler’s figure blurred—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia’s eyes widened. Her head shot up instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There he was—in the air above her, like a god descending, mace raised high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were wild. No more mockery. No more control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just raw fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A howling storm erupted behind him. A vortex of wind tore through the arena. Cloaks flapped violently, banners ripped from the poles. Spectators grabbed the railings, hair and clothes whipping around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds above spun into a funnel, spiraling down as if the sky itself was being swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What the hell is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold onto something!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that even allowed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not just wind anymore—that’s a category three hurricane!! How a second grader can conjure that?!\" the commentator shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler’s voice rang like thunder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"TAKE THIS—HERCULES WRATH!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smashed the mace downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whirlpool above collapsed. Wind lashed in every direction, screaming in agony as it spiraled toward the center of the ring—toward Altia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything disappeared in a blinding explosion of dust and wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena trembled. The stone cracked beneath the force. Judges flinched. Some students near the front were knocked off their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia—was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO WAY SHE SURVIVED THAT!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s buried—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tyler’s won! That’s over!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir...\" Allen also got up in a panic. However, Adrian was unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew she could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm howled louder. Wild, untamed, beastlike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange heat began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirling wind that had once roared with chaos...started to flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orange. Red. Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whirlpool caught fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of flame slithered through the air—twisting inside the wind, taming it, binding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling turned...beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlled. Rhythmical. Divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—from the center of that blazing spiral—she walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly. Powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cloak burned away, revealing armor scorched with radiant flame. Her spear glowed like it was forged anew. Her hair, swept by fire and wind, danced like banners on a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire and wind no longer fought. They danced together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s...she’s controlling the storm!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She turned his own attack into her weapon!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—she became the center of it! THE EYE OF THE STORM!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyler’s eyes were wide. His mouth hung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia’s voice boomed—low, calm, commanding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You call that wrath?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her spear, the flaming vortex surged forward—but instead of destroying him, it bowed around her like a shield, like a crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia strode through the fire and stopped inches from Tyler, who couldn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind around him died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mace dropped from trembling fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped to his knees, head lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... surrender...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers shook the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People stood, mouths open, some screaming, some crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the commentator struggled to find words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ALTIA HAS ASCENDED! SHE’S NOT A STUDENT—SHE’S A WAR GODDESS IN HUMAN SKIN!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia heaved a sigh as she finally lowered her spear and allowed the flames to slowly dissipate\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning over her shoulder she smiled at the Professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian smiled in response before giving her a warm nod. As he thought she could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Altia returned to the preparation room, and instantly, Aries tackled her in a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, girl! You nailed it!\" Aries was shaking in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they witnessed just now was unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She overwhelmed her opponent and brought them their first victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia shyly smiled and said, \"I did what I could.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian chuckled, \"Your personality changes so drastically...well, you performed well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altia lowered her eyes and thanked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not so long after, the staff member came to ask, \"Who would be the next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen glanced at Adrian before he received a nod from the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning towards the staff member, Allen said, \"I am going in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>°°°°°°°°\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:- I hope the battle scene wasn’t boring.
