Dreambreaker : The extra from 2393

Chapter 30: Aeravat Indrath vs Takahasi Aoi

Two figures faced each other in the arena.

On one side stood a slim boy of Caucasian descent, with distinctly Asian features, emanating a sense of authority.

His chiseled features hinted at a wisdom beyond his years, while the prototype glaive in his hand glimmered with a metallic sheen- Takahasi Aoi.

Gazing into the distance of the arena, Aoi fixed his eyes on his opponent. As he slowly circled the disc arena, he scrutinized its surface, searching for any advantage he could use to his benefit.

Across the arena stood a muscular boy wielding a curved, double-edged sword.

Aoi repositioned himself, creating a angeled distance between himself and his opponent.

He couldn't help but marvel at the boy's appearance, as if a deity had graced the battlefield with their presence.

The other boy exuded a unique blend of ethereal beauty and raw power, with petal-shaped brown eyes that shone brilliantly. His tanned complexion only served to enhance his otherworldly aura.

Despite his arrogance, Aoi was no fool.

He observed his opponent with caution, knowing that this was the number one ranker, Aeravat Indrath.

By sensing the atmosphere around him, Aoi had already confirmed that Aeravat's battle strength was around E+.

Aeravat stood with a stoic poise, his demeanor unwavering, as the entire class looked on with bated breath, their eyes fixed on the sparring match that was to begin. The top rankers among them appeared especially apprehensive, acutely aware of the gravity of the outcome of this match.

"I know this is not necessary to say, but since this is just a sparring match, do not use any artifacts," Professor Riya announced, her voice filling the arena.

"Begin!" she instructed, and with that, Takahasi infused his mana core, poised to unleash the full force of his dark element at any moment.

Step by cautious step, he made his way towards the center of the disc while Aeravat stood his ground, unflinching.

(Dhgkwaa) The ground trembled with a strange sound as Takahasi lunged towards Aeravat, his glaive gleaming with a deadly intensity. Though its dull appearance was misleading, the blade was anything but harmless.

Aeravat effortlessly intercepted the attack with the expert flick of his wrist, *THINNG*-as both glaive and sword collided, sending sparks flying through the air.

"Hhhnnn!!!" Takahasi pushed with all his might, but Aeravat stood unmoved, his countenance betraying no signs of strain.

In one swift motion, Aeravat unleashed a powerful swing of his sword, knocking Takahasi back ten feet with ease.

The fervent onlookers could guess by this short exchange whose strength was more.

With Takahasi's strength rated at E-(350) and Aeravat's at E+(400), it was clear that the latter had a distinct advantage in this sparring match.

Aware of the power differential, Takahasi approached the situation with due caution, determined not to risk any reckless moves.

However, he was not one to give up easily. Possessing a rare element of darkness that could enhance his strength and other attributes in a flash, he took a brief 2-second break, unleashing the element from his mana core.

│ Strength: E+ (E-) │ 350/ 350 ? 400(+)/400(+)

Within moments, his strength had surged by several folds, now rated at 400(+)/400(+), a significant increase from his earlier stats of 350/350.

As dark shadows began to emanate from Takahasi, he readied himself for the next round.

With renewed vigor, he launched himself towards Aeravat, using the darkness to supercharge his movements.

However, Aeravat was quick to assess the situation, covering his sword with a fragile and transparent layer of ice, a preemptive measure that would aid his defense.

THINGG, Aeravat's sword and Takahasi's glaive collided in mid-air.

The impact caused transparent layer of ice that Aeravat had created around his sword broke into shards, which flew

towards Takashi's direction. The ice shards momentarily blinded him for one second.

"Ah!" Aoi let out a small surprised groan, but he quickly regained his composure, reopening his eyes with the aid of the darkness that powered his eyes.

Although the entire ordeal only lasted for a second, it was enough to create a momentary opening that Aeravat could exploit.

At that precise moment, Takashi looked towards Aeravat to find him holding the sword with only one hand and curiously, with his left hand near his abdomen. His eyes widened in astonishment as he realized the mistake he had made.

However, before he could do anything to remedy the situation,Vooom- a mighty burst of flame and tornado backed up by immense force pushed Takashi back a full ten feet with a deafening BOOM!

Professor Riya watched the unfolding match with keen interest, her eyes bright with anticipation. As Aeravat expertly displayed his skills, using different elements seamlessly and planning a counter-attack while measuring Aoi's movements, Riya couldn't help but be amazed by his tactical genius.

Meanwhile, Takahasi lay on the ground, trying to quickly rise to his feet. But suddenly, Dhup- he fell back on his knees, sensing something heavy at his feet he looked.

To his surprise, he saw that earth had encapsulated both his feet in a tight lock.

With wide eyes and a mixture of confusion and frustration, he blurted out, "When??!!"

Aeravat lunged aggressively at Takahasi with his sword, but Takahasi, in an instant, executed his Art: Shadow Slash | Platinum ? with breathtaking skill.

He drew his glaive towards his abdomen, moved it to the ground, and used it as a pivot to propel himself into a spinning attack mid-air. With swift precision, he sent a lethal blow to Aeravat, who retaliated with equal ferocity.

The clash of their weapons echoed through the air, creating a symphony of metallic sounds: Thinng!!, Thingg!, Thung!, and Slash! Sparks flew in all directions as they expertly parried and countered each other's attacks.

Takahasi's exhaustion became apparent with each resounding crash, while Aeravat remained seemingly unflustered.

Despite the fatigue Takahasi began to feel, he continued to display impressive technique, evading Aeravat's strikes and delivering calculated counter-attacks.

Within just five seconds, their exchange produced a musical harmony of precisely ten strikes, highlighting the intensity and precision of their battle.

Takahasi drove his glaive's blade into the ground.

He launched himself skyward, using the pole as leverage to twist his body mid-air. As he descended, he unleashed a mighty kick, his right leg encased in a capsule of bone, [Bone Capsule] skill.

As the powerful kick, imbued with the [Bone capsule] Skill, struck Aeravat, he skillfully used the force of the blow to propel himself into a graceful leap backward, diminishing its formidable impact. He landed effortlessly, his lithe figure positioned at an elegant distance, perfectly poised on one knee.

Aeravat placed his right hand on the ground, palm pointing towards Takahasi standing in front of him, and in that instant, pillars of ice arose from the ground with a series of deafening thuds- Thuk! Thuk! Thuk! The ice structures rose higher and higher, as if reaching for the sky, a testament to Aeravat's prodigious powers.

Acting on instinct, Takahashi activated his [Dash] skill, evading the ice like a leaf on the wind. He zigzagged to the left, using his momentum to approach Aeravat in a blur.

Takahashi executed another [Dash] skill, unleashing a dark aura that engulfed his glaive, poised and ready to strike.

In return, Aeravat lifted his left palm and unleashed a fiery projectile at Takahasi, scorching the air with intense heat. At the same time, he swung his sword, and a water ball formed from it, hurtling towards his opponent.

The shimmering sphere of water was as big as a football, shining brightly amidst the chaos of battle. However, the projectile of fire slightly obscured the path of the water ball.

Takahasi energized his body with darkness and mana, completely immuning himself against flames.

But before the fiery projectile could reach him, the surging water ball collided with it in mid-air, creating a resounding impact.

"Vup!" went the explosive collision, enveloping both combatants in a dense cloud of vapor, momentarily blinding Takahasi's peripheral vision.

...

Emily gazed at the scene before her in awe and whispered, "This is amazing. It's almost like an art exhibition instead of a fight."

"You're absolutely right," Aurora nodded in agreement.

Everyone observing the match had a similar expression of bewilderment. The contest seemed more like a symphony of music, art, dance, and light, rather than a brutal fight.

The onlookers remained silent, embraced in the stunning beauty unfolding before them.

...

[Scanning...] The robotic sound of Nano echoed in my neural network.

"What are you scanning?" I inquired in a low and measured tone.

[This is the first time I have witnessed such a style of martial combat, incorporating magic. The fighting technique employed seems new and foreign. Initiating data analysis for deeper understanding.]

I quirked one eyebrow in surprise, but refrained from asking any further questions. Instead, I directed my gaze towards the arena and focused on relishing the rest of the battle.

...

As Takahasi landed, he emerged from a cloud of watery vapour. Slowly, the cloud dispersed to reveal Aeravat. Takahasi hurled his Glaive in a javelin throw towards Aeravat, who swiftly dodged it by taking two steps back. However, upon striking the ground, the Glaive caused eight bone shards to fly towards Aeravat, while two others flew towards an unknown direction.

Aeravat remained still and sidestepped, evading all bone shards effortlessly. Suddenly, the ice pillar that Aeravat had formed earlier came crashing down as the bone shards sliced through it.

Aeravat dodged the falling ice as well, but Takahasi used the opportunity to grab his Glaive and launch a series of attacks at Aeravat in quick succession.

Aeravat's eyes widened in surprise as he realized the danger, reacting quickly by unleashing his powerful Art Flow of the Universe ┃Heavenly ?. The energy flowed through his veins, empowering him in preparation for the incoming clash.

Soon enough, the deafening sound of shattering metals and bones echoed across the arena. Takahasi was sent flying into the air towards the edge of the arena, as Aeravat narrowly managed to dodge his opponent's attack.

However, before Takahasi could hit the ground while plummeting down, Aeravat used his [Destructive Rush] Skill to emit a beam of deep violet blue light that hit Takahasi mid-air, sending him flying out of the disc arena. The crowd gasped in shock as they witnessed the stunning display of power.

The whole match had lasted only a minute, showcasing the remarkable speed and dexterity of both competitors.

Professor Riya,declared, "Aeravat Indrath victor"
