Euan knew who Erik was, and since few people were still joining the tournant, it didn't take a lot of ti for the two contestants two find each other.
Though he didn't say anything particular to Erik, but a short "Let's go…" contrary to most of the people he fought against.
The two fighters and all the people attending the event went toward the arena at the back of the school. The crowd chatted enthusiastically, spreading a noisy murmur throughout the school; they were anticipating the fight. Though most of the people were unsure about the fight's outco.
The problem stemd from the fact that both Erik and Euan won with overwhelming superiority against their opponents, and most people couldn't discern who was the best of the two.
However, so saw Erik ruthlessly beat his opponents and believed he would win. In contrast, others saw how skilled Euan was in using his bladed tail and how unpredictable his fighting style was, thinking it was him who was going to win in the end.
However, what was really surprising was that despite not being very liked by the students. Erik had made a good impression during his fight with Zakir and Priya, and so people started rooting for him.
As soon as both combatants entered the ring, the referee called out the rules for the bout, then told them to get ready, so the match could begin.
Thereafter, the two fighters squared off against each other until they reached opposite corners, after which the referee went to the center of the ring. The man raised his arm high over his head, paused briefly, and shouted: "Fight!"
Erik thought, and a window appeared in his vision.

Erik kept his distance from Euan since the young man had already conjured his bladed tail. Clearly, he knew about Erik's prowess and superior strength, so he wanted to keep his distance from him. Euan, in fact, did extensive research on the remaining tournant contestants and knew Erik was a tricky opponent.
The move he used against Jacqueline was a well thought one. Still, unfortunately for Erik, he was inside a ring now, so he couldn't grow the vegetation around him and surprise his opponent. Confident that Erik couldn't pull the sa move against him, he was slightly less worried.
Euan was sure enough to win the fight if he managed to keep Erik at a distance. Though, if his opponent managed to get close to him, Euan was going to be in a lot of trouble since it was common knowledge among the tournant participants that Erik's physical prowess was off the charts compared to the other fifteen years old.
Euan had two advantages: the first was that his opponent wasn't that skilled in martial arts since he started training not long ago. The second one was the distance advantage since his bladed tail could cover a good distance.
On the opposite side, Erik knew that Euan's power was well ingrained in his fighting style and that he had much more experience than him fighting.
Besides, he was aware that Euan would keep the fight mid-range, so he had to find a way to approach him. The problem was that he had no idea how strong his opponent's power was.
Though, the young man was confident in winning as Euan was not as strong as Zakir, had less battle experience, and didn't have the sa power. If he won against that beast, he could win this fight too.
As the fight started, the two contestants played their gas. Erik rushed in Euan's direction while the latter kept his distance. As soon as Erik got close, his opponent tried to slash at him with his bladed tail. However, Erik dodged the move by jumping away quickly.
Euan's attacks didn't end there, he knew he had to finish this fight quickly, or he was going to end up in a disadvantageous situation.
For this reason, the young man chased Erik and, while keeping his distance, started attacking him with his bladed tail. Horizontal, vertical, and even diagonal slashes were made against his opponent, though Erik effortlessly dodged the attacks. It was like he could see them in slow motion, and avoiding them was like breathing.
Euan kept trying, but Erik kept himself out of his attack range. However, quickly, the available space was reduced until he was with his back to the wall.
