First Victory!

"Hello." Klaus waved at the young man as he stepped onto the platform. 

The young man stared at Klaus calmly, he was in the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane and felt Klaus wasn't his opponent. Of course he knew not to underestimate his opponent, but as Elementalists grew, the ability to cross stages and battle was lower. He too felt like he could fight against someone in a higher stage, after all, he was in the geniuses' rankings so he had the right to be confident. 

"Hey." The young man nodded at Klaus after studying his opponent carefully. 

The man in charge asked if both participants were ready, and when he got confirmation from them, he gave them the go-ahead to start the battle.
