[Island]
Meanwhile on another area on the island, the students of Gritonnia Academy had finally clashed against the students of joint union between Horoscious Academy, Ballad Academy, and Elludkal Academy. Upon seeing their allies finally attacking their enemies from behind and lessening the pressure from the front, the Students of Orbium Academy immediately opened their gates in order to let their close combatants to finally showcase their skills.
The battle immediately became chaotic, as both sides started eliminating each other in earnest causing more pillars of light to appear like a firework display. But despite this chaos, the students stayed away from the area where the elite students were fighting against each other.
After all if they try to squeeze in to fight against in between them, they would instead get eliminated immediately before they could even squeek. Of course there are some students who disregarded the danger and tried to attack them. But just like anyone's expected, they were eliminated swiftly by them.
With Gus down, there are only 6 elite students on the enemies side. However despite this, Akito's side are still at a disadvantage since even with the help from Gritonnia Academy, there are only 4 elite students among them. With such disadvantage, it will only be a matter of time until one of them gets overwhelmed by the enemy.
In that turn of event two additional students from Gritonnia Academy had joined the battle in order to make up for the numbers. Even though they aren't that skilled in comparison to the elite students of each Academy, both Cedric and Sephiria had a lot of experience in terms of real life battle.
The experience of fighting for their life is etched into their soul in which they have experienced it first hand, so it is only right to say they also have the potential to be an elite fighter despite not being one.
In that moment both sides took on one opponent at a time as Akito took on the very person whom he had his eyes on.
From the very beginning of his fight agaisnt Gus, this person itself have manage to see through all his attacks as if it was nothing, such display of skill naturally shocked Akito as he didn't expect for his attacks to be seen through that easily. In this battle, such a person poses much more danger than anybody else in the room.
Like that, Akito took on Seol as he delivered the initial attack.
"So you chose to attack me? Why?"
"Isn't it obvious? Out of everyone here, you're the most dangerous of them all"
After pushing Seol away using brute force, Akito then wasted no time as he sent out an attack when he used his own skill.
"Tomura's Third offensive sword form Ken no Nami (Sword Wave)"
In response to this, Seol injected her mana at the tip of her spear as she waited for the right moment before she thrusted her sword at Akito's attack and released all the mana gathered at the tip of her spear. By doing that she dispersed Akito's attack while also counterattacking by blasting a beam thrust at him.
Unfortunately before any of that happened, Akito had already changed his position, as he held his sword with both hands over his shoulder and attacked Seol from the side.
However despite doing that surprise attack from the side, Seol saw through his tactics as she ducked down to dodge Akito's swing, before she twisted her body into a spin and countered with an axe kick towards Akito's shoulder.
Reinforcing his body with mana, Akito managed to tanked Seol's kick, giving him an ample chance to reposition his sword and swing again at her. However this time Seol parried his attack to the side and countered with a swing from a diagonal angle.
Upon seeing this, Akito quickly spun around to dodge Seol's attack and immediately pin down her spear before she could even follow up her attack. With her spear pinned down, Akito then proceeded to plant it to the ground by stepping down on it, as he took the chance and to slash his opponent down.
"Tomura's Second offensive sword form Takai kinchō (High Strung)"
However Seol simply moved to the side to dodge Akito's attack, as she quickly anchored her spear on her back with both of her arms and forcefully pull out the spear away from the ground.
After that she faced Akito and finally used her own skills which was barely parried by Akito himself.
"Dragon Thrust"
Despite succesfully parrying that attack, Seol's attack didn't end there as she quickly shifted her position using a movement skill behind Akito and delivered another series of attacks.
"Void Step"
"Dragon Thrust 10x"
Upon seeing this Akito quickly defended himself only to fail from blocking a few strikes which costs his shoulder to get pierced by Seol's spear.
"Gah!!!"
Quickly stepping away, Akito suddenly sensed danger from behind, as he immediately slid down backwards in order to dodge Seol's sudden blink skill and surprise attack from an unknown angle.
Upon seeing her unrelentless assault, Akito realized that Seol wasn't planning to let him take a breather at all. So as he watched Seol chase after him, Akito then took out his 3rd to the last health potion and poured it all over his injured body.
With that he healed completely while not being out of danger. However while he was distracted in healing himself, Seol used another movement skill to instantly close the distance between them, before delivering another blow which literally shot down Akito from the sky.
"Lightning Movement"
"Destruction Palm"
From that attack Akito crash to the ground as he felt his whole innards getting destroyed by that one attack alone.
Coughing out blood from that one attack, Akito sensed another incoming danger, as he quickly rolled to the side just in time to dodge Seol's plunged attack.
Gritting his teeth as he endured the pain, Akito unleashed another skill as he swung it towards Seol.
"Tomura's First offensive sword form Wansutoraiku (One strike)"
In response to this Seol used "Void Step" once more as she dodged Akito's attack and countered back k with a swing. However this time Akito was prepared and used a Tactical skill which changed the momentum of the battlefield.
"Tomura's Second Tactical Sword Form Sakura no odori (Dance of the cherry blossom)"
From that moment Seol was continously pushed back as Akito was pressuring her to the point of being cornered on a side. But despite everything Seol stayed calm as she shifted her hold on her spear while smirking.
