The crowd was divided into two big factions that were cheering their houses. On one side, green flags were waving, and the chanting was "naga, naga."
Facing them were other factions raising their red flags and chanting, "Garuda, Garuda."
The commentator looked at the atmosphere and said, "Audience, are you ready for the final battle? This is going to be interesting."
"At one side is the mighty captain of the Garuda House, while facing him is the mysterious Red Skull."
"I don't know who will win, but I know for sure that this battle will be tough; both will give their best."
The free looked at both participants, waiting for them to be prepared.
"You were lucky to defeat the previous two but can't face me. I already know about all of your moves." Said the brown-haired boy with a grin on his face.
Like before, Vinay ignored him, not paying any attention.
"I will make you regret hurting my friend. It would be best if you had gone easy on her," said the boy.
A glint of red appeared in Vinay's eyes. 'Why are there so many simps in this place? It looks like I need to show them their place.'
He moved his hand in the air. A staff appeared on it. It had the skull of a monster placed on top, with a horn on his forehead.
A ring made up of pointy thorns was behind it like a halo. A strange red fire could be seen burning inside it.
The appearance of the staff surprised many; it looked very creepy. The referee struck his hand and said, "Start."
The brown-haired boy used his ultimate movement art. Wings of fire sprouted on his back, and he flapped them and dashed at the opponent.
He simultaneously summoned his sword aura and used 'Meteor Stab,' the fire energy gathered on the tip of his sword as he attacked his opponent with full force.
His swift movement gave the Undead Knights no chance to stop him. It appeared as if Vinay was helpless.
However, in the eyes of Vinay's staff, he tapped it on the floor. 'Whoosh,' the wind started blowing, and the next moment a strange creature appeared behind the opponent.
It held him by the neck. Its four hands caught the opponent in submission; it had a scary face with horns. A red fire could be seen inside its eyes; its long white hair flew like flooded rivers.
Viany pointed his finger at him. Behind him, the air shook, cracks appeared, and a giant finger nail appeared, which caused shockwaves in the atmosphere.
The opponent tried to defend using various defensive spells, but they were blasted into pieces wherever the nail passed by. It was as if the whole world was against him.
It continued moving at a speed that looked very slow but gave the opponent no chance to retreat.
The movement it came close to the barriers. They were blasted into pieces.
"I surrender," said the captain as he looked at the death approaching him. Even the wave of wind released from the nail was enough to tear apart his clothes.
He fainted the next moment. The arena became silent, staring at the boy with the red skull mask. No one had thought he would be this strong; it looked impossible to face him.
The worst part was that he moved around casually with his hand in his pockets and his back slightly slouched as if he were not affected.
He didn't look injured, nor did he look tired. 'What kind of guy was this? He was ridiculously strong.'
"What kind of perverted monster is this? I don't think many in their second year can face him. It's when his job class is not even good at PvP," commented someone from the Garuda House.
A surprised expression appeared on the face of the red-haired girl as she stared at Vinay's back with her sharp eyes.
"Naga, Naga." The crowd returned to their senses and started cheering at their house. Vish sighed in relief; even he was surprised that this red skull was way stronger than he initially expected.
"Ha haa haa," The woman beside him slapped her chair. "This is how Garuda House should be crushed. Who is this boy? I already like him."
Vish took out his smartphone and mailed the professor his file: "He is a new student; I have sent the file to you."
Sanya checked her phone, scrolled through it, and opened the file. There, information about Vinay appeared on her screen.
The more she read, the more surprised she was. "Interesting, so he is from the Almora Region."
In it, there was information about his performance. It was also mentioned that he was sent an invitation the previous year.
"Strange? It's bizarre; I can't understand him. Do you know more about him?" She looked at Vish.
"I have already shared everything; I have heard that he has entered with another guy. He wears a blue skull mask; they both are very close friends and were in the same academy."
"Oh, which house is he in?" she asked with a curious expression on her face.
"He is in Leo House," replied Vish.
"Hmmm, that's alright. It makes this even more interesting. How strong is he?" She asked.
"I am not sure about it," replied Vish. "However, from what I have heard, he may be scarier than Vinay in PvP fights."
"If that's the case, then it's bad news for Matsya House. I don't think they will be able to face someone of his level." said the lady as she looked at the battle ring.
"Everyone, the thrilling match between Naga House and Garuda House has come to an end. What a twist! Naga House was able to qualify for the final match."
"However, this was just the start; the next match will be between Leo House and Matsya House. Both teams look good on paper, but who will be victor will only be decided after the battle."
"I would now like to ask both teams to enter the Battle Ring," said the commentator.
Both teams entered the battle ring one by one. Looking at each other, both captains faced each other. On one side was a tall boy with white hair tied in a ponytail, and facing him was a black-haired boy with yellow eyes.
Both teams were ready, but the eyes of the crowd fell on the figure wearing a dark cloak and a blue skull mask.
"It can't be. Is he Blue Skull?" asked someone in the crowd.
"I think he is," replied another guy.
"Is it as strong as Red Skull? If that's the case, then our house is done for," commented someone.
"Don't worry; trust the captain. He can easily face someone like him, and I don't think he is as strong as Red Skull just because they move around together." said someone beside them.
"He is right; you and Aman are friends. Is he as strong as you?" asked his friend.
"Haa haa, It looks like I made a mistake. How can two such strong guys appear out of nowhere?" he said as he sighed in relief.
