After being kicked, Rin was forced to step away from Rai. 

Rai quickly regained her composure, ignoring her bleeding arm. Dashing forward, Rai closed the distance between her and Rin.

Holding tight to her sword, Rai prepared for a right horizontal slash. It was an obvious attack, an easy one to predict.

Even Rin had predicted the incoming attack, raising her sword she prepared to block the attack. 

"Why are hitting me with such predictable attacks? I thought you were better than this," said Rin, disappointed.

"Sorry to disappoint you." 

Stepping back, Rai again readied her sword for another vertical slash from the right. Rin again raised her sword preparing to block the attack.

"Like I said, It is easy to predict---" 

In an instant, there was a flash. A flash of sword grazed the side of Rin's cheek. It was an attack that Rin saw coming and yet she couldn't stop it. Blood welled up on the cut that was caused by the sword.

Before she could realize what was happening, Another flash of the sword came in her way. This time it was a horizontal slash that she couldn't dodge. 

"Guh!"  groaned Rin in pain, as she held her bleeding arm. 

The flash of the sword was the tremendous speed of Rai's attack. It was at a different speed than that she attacked earlier. The speed at which Rai swung her blade was almost inhumane, it was at a different level than the attacks she was throwing earlier.

Before Rai could throw any other attack, Rin knocked her away using a water ball. Being knocked off the Rai crashed on the ground.

"Who thought you to use the sword?" asked Rin.

"A god," answered Rin.

"If you don't want to answer my question, then just say so."

"You don't believe me, do you?" laughed Rai.

This is the first time I am receiving this information. 

A god thought her how to use the sword? interesting.....

{Author: I will touch more upon gods later on. But gods are important for the further plot.}

"You are good, you are really good. As frustrating it is to admit it, but I can't deny the fact that you are better than me at swordsmanship.", with a little chuckle she continued "I can't win by just relying on the sword, that's why I am going to use magic." 

Rin's eye shone brightly in a shade of blue with a hint of yellow in it. She gathered mana in her hand,

"Water ball."

She shot a giant water ball in the sky. After reaching a certain height the water ball exploded and fell back on the ring as drops of rain. The little droplets of water fell throughout the ring moistening the surrounding air.

Rin is using the same move she used against Rudi,

[Oh, the electric queen is preparing for her final move!!!!!! Rai should stop her before she could paralyze her with electricity.]

[But why Rai is not moving from her place, she is just standing there and letting her opponent make her move.] questioned Duke.

[I think it's too late to stop Rin now, the electric queen will release her spark and paralyze Rai. Rai did put in a great fight, I really thought she was the one that will win this match. But I think this is it!.]

As Rin stood firm, sparks of electricity enveloped her. Stabbing her sword to the ground, a sudden discharge of electricity was released towards Rai. 

"You should try to dodge this." Said Rin.

[Yes!!!! This is the lighting attack I was talking about!!! I think this will be the ending move of the match!!! I mean, how Rai is going to win against a lighting attack?]

Yes, how a mortal would hope to win against lighting?

In the face of divine lighting, how can a normal person possibly win?

A normal spark of lighting can't outshine the brilliance of real thunder...

In an instant, before the spark of electricity was going to touch Rai's feet, An blinding radiance shined across the ring.

With a flash of lightning, Rai appeared in front of Rin in an instant.

"The electricity of such degree won't have any effect on me.",

Her eye shone brightly in the shade of red with a hint of purple lighting leaking out of her eyes, this purple lighting was engulfed around her whole body.

"Due to obvious results, the winner, Rai!!!" Announced referee.

[What?!! Huh?!! What?!!! What?!! What happened?!?? One moment Rin was attacking with her lighting attack and the next moment whole ring was covered a blinding radiance, the moment after that Rai has instantly disappeared from her place and was standing in front of Rin with her sword pointing towards her throat?!!!]

Yes, Rai had won the match. This was just her raw speed, isn't she terrifying.

"A monster" would be an accurate way to describe her and her ability. When she wields thunder, it looks like she is one with the thunder. That's what makes her really dangerous.

I believe that she is not a normal human. But I have no business knowing what her origin is since I and her will take different paths eventually.

"You were holding your power back all this time?" asked Rin.

"Not really, I don't prefer using my power since it takes a toll on my body," said Rai as she walked away, but before walking out of the ring, she stopped.

Turning back to face Rin, Rai spoke up, "My power is just flashy, it won't guarantee me victory. Today after fighting against you I have grown more sure about that fact.", With a little pause, Rai continued, "It was a great fight, I nearly lost against you. It might not be an exaggeration to say that I might have grown to respect you, after.", A smile curved up Rai's lips as she said that.

"I want to again fight against you in the future!!" replied Rin.

"The feeling is the same, let's fight again."

Damn, warriors showing respect to each other. The only weird thing is that Rai and Rin are the people that are showing respect to each other. 

Were they capable of showing respect to anyone? Cause I can't remember a second without Rin giving me a death threat and I can't remember a second without Rai ridiculing me.

[After an unexpected turn of events, Team number sixteen have won the fourth match. With this victory, team number sixteen has tied their score to team number one. For a second I thought Team number one would win this year's competition. But they have made their comeback in the finals!!! So the results of the finals will be decided by the last match!!!]

With the following announcement, the crowd erupted into loud cheers.

Adding to what the commentator said, Duke added [This final keeps on getting interesting, it's been a while since I have been this excited.]

Now that we have won the second last round, we have tied our score with team number one. 

[Now without further a due, I will introduce the last two fighters who will be fighting in the finals!!!!. From team number one, the one who had finished all his matches in just one hit!!. Now the main question is, will he finish the last match in one hit too? Walking down the ring, From team number one, The highness, the successor of hero Alice!!!! Otis Ormr!!!!]

The introduction by the commentator resulted in loud roar among the spectators as they cheered.

As his name was called, Otis triumphantly walked into the ring. Raising his hand he waved at the crowd, which result in even loud cheers than before. 

He sure is loved, I mean he is considered the "successor of hero Alice".

[From team number sixteen, with his excellent performance throughout the tournament he made his way to the finals!!! In his first match, he secured himself a brutal victory, a victory that made him a hero against common people!!! I am excited to see what kind of fight does this fighter put's up against the prince. The last member of team number sixteen, he is also known as the Bleeding Ashed on the Goldberg City!!! Grey!!!!]

It was finally my turn to walk into the ring. I have already summoned a snake polearm before entering the arena since I wanted to fight with my polearm in the last fight.

Holding on to my polearm, I walked into the ring. I could hear the cheers of the people, are they cheering for me?
