Chapter 17: Master of Frost vs. The Undefeated — Round One
I was in front row, eyes glued to the ring. Yeah, I’d arrived early. Damn, I feel like some kind of fanboy.
Still, I had high hopes for this fight. Maybe Salazar could actually win. He was relentless, after all.
Raigetsu looked... feral. And it wasn’t just his stare. Broad shoulders, thick hands — everything about him screamed power.
The entire arena was sealed in an invisible barrier.
This time, the Academy had prepared more than ever before.
"THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!"
The match began. Salazar stepped into stance immediately, fingers forming a seal.
Raigetsu smirked. With the roar of the crowd, no one else could hear their exchange.
"Heh. Been a while, kid. Still clinging to that thirst for revenge?"
"Don’t flatter yourself," Salazar replied, sweat trailing down his chin. "What matters now... is making sure you don’t walk away from this."
"Heh. And you think you’re capable of landing a hit?" Raigetsu’s smirk widened. "Guess the princess finally left her nest if she’s picking fights with me now."
"Shut up! Every word you speak pisses me off, Raigetsu."
