The arena had gone completely silent.
Students quickly gathered around the battlefield again after hearing about the challenge that was happening.
Someone said "Rex is fighting the guy, Kael."
Another person asked "The one with the power Kaels power?"
Everyone thought this was going to be good.
In the center of the arena stood Kael and Rex facing each other.
Sparks of energy flickered around Kaels hands.
Lightning crackled across Rexs body like a living storm Rexs lightning was really something.
The tension between Kael and Rex was almost visible you could feel it.
Lyra leaned casually against a pillar watching Kael and Rex with great interest she was really enjoying this.
She muttered with a smile "Boys, Kael and Rex always competing with each other."
High above the arena Professor Orion and Instructor Valeria observed the scene watching Kael and Rex.
Instructor Valeria asked "Should we stop Kael and Rex?"
Orion shook his head slightly he did not want to stop Kael and Rex.
He said "No I want to see how far Kaels power has awakened I want to see what Kael can do."
His eyes stayed fixed on Kael he was really interested in Kael.
Below Rex stretched his neck slightly getting ready.
He asked "Ready, Kael?"
Kael nodded calmly he was ready.
Rex said "Whenever you are, Kael lets do this."
Rex grinned he was excited.
Then.
CRACK.
Lightning exploded around Rexs body as he dashed forward really fast.
He moved fast that many students could barely follow his movement Rex was incredibly fast.
In a flash he appeared in front of Kael in front of him.
He said "Lightning Fist, Kael!"
His electrified punch shot toward Kaels face it was a punch.
But Kael reacted instantly really quick.
Blue energy surged through Kaels body his blue energy was really strong.
He raised his arm. Blocked the attack blocked Rexs punch.
BOOM.
Electricity and divine energy clashed violently it was an explosion.
The shockwave pushed both Kael and Rex backward it was really powerful.
Students gasped they were surprised.
Someone said "That was insane Kael and Rex are insane!"
Another person said "They're both monsters, Kael and Rex are really strong!"
Rex smiled excitedly he was having fun.
He said "Not bad Kael you're not bad!"
He attacked again throwing a series of lightning-fast punches really fast punches.
Kael dodged most of them but one grazed his shoulder it was a call.
Electric sparks burned across Kaels skin it was painful.
Kael jumped backward breathing heavily he was getting tired.
He thought to himself "He's fast Rex is really fast."
Rexs speed was really something.
Kael could feel something strange again something inside him.
The power inside Kaels blood was reacting, responding.
It was like it wanted to fight like it wanted to win.
Rex cracked his knuckles again getting ready.
He teased "What happened, Kael, already tired?"
Kael wiped a drop of blood from his lip he was hurt.
Then he looked up he was not giving up.
His glowing blue eyes had become brighter they were shining.
He said "Not even close Rex I'm not even close to being tired."
The energy around Kaels body suddenly intensified it was getting stronger.
The air trembled again it was like an earthquake.
Even Rex paused slightly he was surprised.
He said "Oh, Kael you're getting serious."
Kael stepped forward slowly each step felt heavier stronger.
The stone floor cracked under Kaels feet it was like he was breaking the floor.
Blue energy burst around him like a storm it was really powerful.
Lyras eyes widened slightly she was impressed.
She said "Wow, Kael you're amazing!"
Above Orion smiled faintly he was happy.
He said "The bloodline is evolving faster than expected Kaels bloodline is really strong."
Rexs excitement only grew he was getting more excited.
He said "Now we're talking, Kael lets do this!"
Lightning exploded around him again it was like a show.
He said "Lets see which power is stronger Kaels power or mine!"
Both Kael and Rex rushed forward at the time they were ready to fight.
Lightning and blue divine energy collided in the center of the arena it was an explosion.
BOOOOM.
A massive explosion shook the stadium it was really big.
Dust filled the air it was hard to see.
Students shielded their eyes from the shockwave it was really powerful.
When the dust slowly cleared Kael and Rex were standing a few feet apart.
Both were breathing heavily they were tired.
Both were smiling slightly they were happy.
For the time since the fight began Rex laughed he was really happy.
He said "You're strong Kael you're really strong!"
Kael looked surprised he did not expect Rex to say that.
Rex rubbed the back of his neck he was being humble.
He said "Guess you're not just lucky all Kael you're really skilled."
Kael relaxed his fists slightly he was feeling better.
He said "Same to you Rex you're really strong!"
For a moment the rivalry between Kael and Rex felt less hostile it felt like respect.
But suddenly Instructor Valerias voice echoed across the arena it was like a wake-up call.
She said "That's enough Kael and Rex stop fighting!"
Her powerful aura spread across the battlefield it was like a wave.
The pressure instantly stopped both Kael and Rex they could not move.
Rex sighed dramatically he was disappointed.
He said "Aw come on Instructor Valeria let us finish!"
But he stepped back anyway he had to listen to Instructor Valeria.
Kael did the same he also stepped back.
The tension slowly disappeared it was like a relief.
Lyra walked toward Kael and Rex clapping slowly she was happy.
She said "Well done, boys, Kael and Rex you were amazing!"
She looked between them with a smile she was really enjoying this.
She said "I think the entire academy just found its top troublemakers, Kael and Rex are the best!"
Rex smirked he was happy.
Kael chuckled quietly he was also happy.
Far away beyond the walls of Apex Academy something was happening.
A dark temple hidden in the mountains trembled slightly it was like an earthquake.
Ancient eyes slowly opened it was like something was waking up.
A deep voice echoed through the darkness it was really scary.
It said "The God Slayer, Kael has finally awakened."
And somewhere, in the world the gods had started paying attention to Kael they were watching him. ⚡
