That morning, Rex and Turan went very early to the academy.
They not only wanted to familiarize themselves with the massive newly built battle arena that would be used for the finals, but they also wanted to finish their last preparations in the academy where it would all go down.
As they trained, the ti rapidly ticked away like it was being fast-forwarded and in no ti, spectators started trooping into the academy grounds.
The final battle was scheduled to start around 9:00 am, and now, it was only 20 minutes to the ti as the anticipation reached a peak.
15 minutes to the ti, Principal Dominic Barry of Obedin Mystic Academy summoned the 2 contesting students to his office.
Once they stood before him, he addressed them. This ti, Principal Dominic had an uncharacteristically serious expression on his face.
"The graduation tournant is not a tournant to breed enmities, rather, it is a tournant to develop bonds between ourselves and to build our unity".
"As you go out there into the arena, rember one thing, you are not each other's enemies, what the both of you are is called competitors".
"The graduation tournant is ant for the both of you to push each other into becoming better mystic warriors of Obedin City".
"Always rember that the enemies are the mystic beasts, not Rex, not Turan".
"Compete with a good spirit and motivation and you'll cherish this mont all your life. Go out there and fight to your heart's content".
"Go and make the academy proud".
"Go and make history!"
…
"Rex Vector!" "Sword Vampire!"
"Turan Elliot!" "Lightning Lord!"
10 minutes before 9:00 am, the massive spectator grounds that were built for this new battle arena were filled up. The spectators went wild as the 2 competing students in the finals finally entered their specific elevators.
The comntator now had the perfect stage to express his impeccable poetic skills in the finals.
"And here we are, about to witness the clash of titans!"
"2 students who are already recognized as legends of Obedin Mystic Academy are about to climb this iconic battle arena to fight the battle of the year".
"Their run in the graduation tournant till now is nothing short of legendary, Rex and Turan had both produced so of the best monts so far".
"Rex Vector, a Darkhorse who no one expected to make it up to the quarterfinals has re-written his fate. Now known as a genius and the Sword Vampire, he is about to take that last step to hegemony".
"His opponent, Turan Elliot, the favorite to win this year's tournant did not disappoint. After having a blistering tournant run so far, he made it to the final and now has to go against the Darkhorse called the Sword Vampire".
"No amount of poetic words can describe this showdown; this is a clash between a Sword Vampire and a Lightning Lord!"
"Savor this mont because they rarely ever co about even in lifetis".
"Give it up as we welco…"
Before he got to this point, the spectators' blood was already boiling hot and by the ti he started the last sentence, they exploded as they didn't let him finish before the arena was taken by a storm of cheers and applause.
Turan and Rex's elevators moved at the sa ti as the comntator introduced them as it quickly ca close before touching down on the arena.
Clang!
Once the elevator opened up, the 2 students competing to be the champion of this year's graduation tournant finally ca out from opposite sides.
The cheers and applause from the spectators exploded even louder.
Rex donned a red combat vest which struck a sharp contrast with the black combat vest that his opponent, Turan wore.
Unlike almost all the previous battles, Turan and Rex's eyes did not clash imdiately to start a battle of the mind. Both students closed their eyes and remained motionless amid all the noise to condition their minds for this showdown.
The pressure was strong, the disturbance was much, and for them to fight at their best today, they needed to be in their best state psychologically.
They didn't have all the ti in the world to condition their ntal state before the battle though as the bell to start the battle finally rang.
Once the bell rang, Rex and Turan's eyes snapped open at the sa ti.
Shing!
Shing!
Both of them unsheathed their swords from their scabbards at almost the sa ti and speed as their eyes finally clashed for the first ti, the both of their eyes burned with a fiery ambition and determination to win.
"Movent Technique: Drizzling Rain Steps!"
"Movent Technique: Steps of the Nightingale!"
Neither Rex nor Turan took his ti, their blood was already boiling hot, and slowing things down would only affect their rhythm at this point.
Once they activated their movent techniques, they disappeared.
Whoosh!
Rex and Turan ran straight toward each other as their eyes seed to burn holes through each other's skin. Mid-sprint, they attacked.
"Sword Skill: Boorang Slash!"
"Lightning Sword Skill: Lightning Slash!"
Rex's sword attack was followed by an extrely sharp golden sword energy, while Turan's sword attack was followed by a silvery-blue corona of lightning.
Bam!
Once both ranged attacks collided, heterogenous mystic energy dissipated in every direction as both attacks ground hard at each other before canceling out.
This ranged attack was the only one, Rex and Turan were too fast as in the small-ti fra when both attacks hit, they closed the distance to each other.
"Sword Skill: Plutonian Slash!"
"Sword Skill: Erald Lightning Slash!"
Their eyes briefly glowed intensely as their respective swords slashed towards each other with full power, Berserker and the Triple Kill Sword were about to have their first official clash.
BOOM!
Once the attack hit, it was like a nuclear bomb just went off as the powerful shockwave montarily pushed both Rex and Turan backward.
Both of them felt their hands vibrating but only for a mont as they quickly stabilized themselves before lunging at each other again.
Rex and Turan were not just any students, they were both geniuses of the sword battle domain, being 1st and 2nd ranked respectively in this battle discipline.
Their sword basics and instincts for basic mystic warriors were as thorough as a baby's smooth palm, lee combat was their forte.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Once they lunged back at each other, both of them began a fierce lee battle. Their body movent and leg movent flowed with the movent of their swords as everything aligned to be as smooth as flowing water.
As Turan released his wide powerful sword blows, Rex countered by releasing precise sword strikes that dripped with lethal danger.
This lee battle was what enabled the both of them to settle down into this final battle, it allowed them to get a complete grip over their nerves back.
For 3 minutes straight, this lee battle continued with neither of them getting injured as it enabled Rex and Turan to find their perfect rhythm back.
For now, their battle seed to be a draw but it was just starting. After finding their rhythm back, Rex and Turan finally decided to take it a step further.
"Sword Technique: Dance of the 10,000 Drizzling Swords!"
"Sword Technique: Aurora Swordplay!"
Bam! Bam!
Once Rex and Turan both activated their mastered sword techniques, the sword battle took on another dinsion as a lot of intricacies suddenly seed to have been added to each move that they made.
They both seed a lot more clinical and ruthless as their swords launched at each other for the kill.
Whereas Turan seed to turn into a master swordsman who learned and mastered 10,000 different sword techniques with lots of variations, Rex seed to turn into a master of one which was speed.
The Aurora Swordplay emphasized speed above everything else. This was where Rex's advantage started being shown, Rex was superior here.
Seeing the advantage of his opponent was all that was needed to trigger Turan further as he took the battle more than 2 stages ahead at once.
"Advanced Lightning Skill: Lightning Bolt!"
"Advanced Sword Skill: Triple Slashes of Death!"
The contest of advanced skills finally began!
Turan used the exact sa advanced skill combo that he used in the semifinals to overwhelm John, leaving only so details behind but a prepared Rex was able to react on ti to counter this deadly move.
Rex's eyes glowed golden as with both hands, he grabbed his sword before sending a mystic energy-filled Plutonian Slash upwards to counter the lightning attack while he rapidly turned before activating his own advanced skill.
The Plutonian Slash was not able to counter the Lightning Bolt completely, only stalling it slightly but that was all that Rex needed to make his ultimate move.
"Advanced Sword Skill: One Autumn Leaf- 1st Move!"
Rex's advanced sword skill collided with Turan's sword skill in an epic clash that canceled out the remaining energy of the lightning bolt.
Boom!
The explosive sound lasted only a second before the ringing sound of a sword blade reverberated the next mont. Having fought the shockwave, Rex dived in and went for the kill imdiately after he countered his opponent's move.
"Advanced Lightning Skill: Lightning Chain!"
Turan was not close to giving up though as he rolled backward before pointing his Triple Kill Sword to the skies to summon a chain of lightning attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rex was bombarded by the lightning chain that eliminated John Naga, but his fate was not the sa as his counterpart, he would not lose this way.
There was no use holding back anymore, Rex exploded.
"Advanced Sword Skill: One Autumn Leaf- 2nd Move!"
Whoosh!
