Expert Stage Match

Ash slipped back into the grand arena hall just as the final match of the day was about to begin. 

The entire auditorium buzzed with anticipation, the energy so thick it was almost suffocating. This was it—the final battle that would determine which academy would reign supreme.

At the center of the colossal stage stood Nero Desgarron, the pride of the Akashic Magus Academy. He was tall and composed, his golden hair glinting under the stadium's light, and his piercing shimmering eyes exuding a chilling confidence. 

Across from him was Dredd Zerik, the strongest student of the Nirvana Gate Academy. 

With his dark, wild hair and the eerie crimson markings across his arms, he radiated an ominous aura that sent shivers through the spectators.

The announcer's voice boomed throughout the stadium.

"Let the final match of the Expert Stage… begin!"

Without hesitation, both competitors extended their hands forward.

"[Externalization]!"
