[Island]
Upon hearing Akito's declaration, the students of Ballad Academy, Horoscious Academy, and Elludkal Academy, hesitated for a moment, before their respective leaders gave out a few command.
"What the hell are you guys doing? He's just one guy!!!"
"Get him!!! Even if he is strong, he can't take all of us"
"Remember we also have our own hidden powerhouse who didn't join last years competition! If they had joined, the likes of him wouldn't even get to the finals"
"Attack!!!"
The moment they heard their leaders words, all the students then resumed their attacks.
Upon seeing the enemies resumed their attacks and sent in a huge fireball their way, Akito then finally begun to move as he slashed his sword and destroyed three huge fireballs in front of him.
"Tomura's Second defensive sword form Bunkatsu katto (Splitting Cut)"
After he split that initial wave of attacks, a rain of arrow followed, forcing Akito to move out of the way in order to evade the falling arrows. However the mage on the enemy's side were also skilled as they immediately layer a trap to where Akito would land and detonated their prepared spell. Just like that Akito was caught off guard as he was drowned by the explosion.
When the enemies saw that Akito was caught by their schemes, they somehow rejoiced that it was a success, before suddenly realizing an attack was sent their way from the direction where Akito was caught by the explosion.
Just like that three students were eliminated when Akito sent a sword slash their way.
Of course Akito didn't get out unscathed, as he somehow injured his back when the enemy detonated their spells. Thankfully he trained his body to take on powerful blows right after the event that happened to the neighboring kingdom beyond the sea. Due to that he became even more durable while also became even more proficient in swordmanship.
Rushing out from the smokes, Akito held his sword into a killing strike as he used another movement that killed a lot of the enemy's forces.
"Tomura's Second Tactical Sword Form Sakura no odori (Dance of the cherry blossom)"
Under the trance of his sword dance, many students in his way were killed, with no one to stop him at all. But his rampage didn't end there, as he took a huge leap and cut down multiple ranged spells that were crossing the sky and targeting his academy's base.
After landing he quickly crouched down, as he launched himself forward and deliver his next blow. However this time he was bocked by a group of knight students holding their shield up against him.
"Guh! What monstrous strength!!!"
"Hold your ground!!!"
As they were raising their morale, Akito then quickly changed the way he held his sword again, before using another skill.
"Tomura's Third offensive sword form Ken no Nami (Sword Wave)"
By using this skill, all the knights infront of him were blown back by the force of the attack, leaving some gap for him to exploit.
"Tomura's Second offensive sword form Takai kinchō (High Strung)"
In just one slash each, Akito eliminated another group of students before he went after the mages with a sword in hand.
One after another, students were eliminated as Akito mercilessly eliminate them on the battlefield. He was basically unstoppable. However in this midst of war, he can't defend everything.
So whe Akito was too focused on what's happening in front of him, the walls of the Academy were breached by the students who specialize in assassination and begun eliminating the students of Orbium Academy.
It was truly a war in a sense.
In that moment the so called powerhouse begun to move causing the morale of the enemy to rise. Just like that all 7 powerhouse made their move as they aimed for Akito.
The first one who made contact with him was a student from Horoscious Academy. With an attack he greeted Akito, forcing the latter to block its attack and pushing him back for a few meters.
"Wow! You are strong! You manage to push me back! Impressive"
Following him more students arrived to gather infront of Akito. 2 from Horoscious Academy, 2 from Elludkal Academy, and 3 from Ballad Academy.
Naturally Akito knew all of this students after investigating all the students of various Academy's when he heard the theme of this test. The only thing he didn't expect is that this seemingly normal students were the hidden powerhouse of the respective Academy.

Elludkal Academy

A total of 7 enemies.
"Gus! Why did you try to get ahead of everybody?" Asked by Allen
"Well I thought that I would be able to kill him by surprise... unfortunately I was mistaken, his senses and reaction time is no joke" said by Gus
"You guys from the Horoscious Academy are so hot headed" said by Irene
"Nevertheless with all of us here, he wouldn't be able to win against us" said by Sinnoh
"Akito! We admit that you are strong, however you have atmost no chance to beat a of us, so I advice you to give up" said by Rex
"Hey Seol! Do you think we would lose here? I mean he doesn't seemed fazed by this" Asked by Ruby
"No matter, a we need is to kill him" said by Seol
"Hays... such vulgar words coming out from the mouth of a beautiful girl" said by Sinnoh
"Hands off Seol mage! Your forbidden to take a step closer near her" said by Ruby
"Well Akito! You must be wondering why we didn't join last years competition despite being strong and talented right? Well simply put, we think of it as a bore" said by Allen
"We've already fought all the students in our years in all six academies during our first years, but Ali can say is that aside from a few selected talented individual most of them are weak... too weak" said by Gus
"Thats why we didn't join the competition last year since we thought that the participants would still be those weak students we had fought on our first years joint activity, however surprise surprise... you alongside those two from Gritonnia Academy and Ascalon Academy had appeared out of nowhere" said by Sinnoh
"We saw the battle... and truth be told you guys are strong" said by Irene
"However that's it... your strong but not stronger than us, unless you prove it otherwise" said by Rex
"Fight us" said by Seol
In that moment before any of the seven could make a move, Gus stepped forward as he tried to spread his aura towards the surroundings causing the other to wear a stiffen expression.
"Gus what's the meaning of this?" Asked by Rex
"I want to fight him first, none of you are allowed to interfere" replied by Gus
"Ah! So it's his usual routine, check out a strong enemy first before leaving it to others... typical" said by Allen
"And here i thought you betrayed us" said by Irene
"Alright! You guys go first" said by Ruby
Hearing everyone's agreement to pet Gus fight first, Seol simply backed down as he followed what they were doing.
Upon seeing this, Akito couldn't help but feel like he was majorly being underestimated by nobodies. With that rage filled his gaze.
