[127] "Cain v/s Samantha"

The destruction that marked the arena gradually disappears, returning it to its original state.

Samantha and Cain position themselves a few meters away from each other, waiting for the whistle to start the confrontation.

After a few moments of tense stillness, the initial whistle resounds in the air, marking the beginning of the duel.

A purple aura emanates from Cain's body and merges with Lancelot's, causing the animal's body to grow in an imposing manner.

The force of his aura cracks the surrounding ground, creating a powerful manifestation of energy.

Surprise crosses Miyoung's gaze as he observes Lancelot, and his thoughts reflect his amazement. 'The Divine Beast of the Luterain family far exceeds my estimations.'

{See}, Cain telepathically transmits to Lancelot, urging him to attack Samantha.

Lancelot launches himself at extraordinary speed towards Samantha, with each step leaving imprinted footprints in the concrete and cracking the ground beneath his feet.

Arriving in front of Samantha, the animal unleashes a powerful scratch in her direction.

With composure and her hands folded behind her back, Samantha dodges the attack with ease, as Lancelot's claw leaves its mark on the ground.

Cain frowns and telepathically communicates with his partner. {Attack her with more force and speed}.

Before the watchful eyes of all, Lancelot's ferocity intensifies, his aura growing in intensity and strength as he lashes out more aggressively at Samantha.

Unperturbed, Samantha easily dodges the ferocious animal's attacks and advances without hesitation, penetrating Lancelot's guard with grace.

Lancelot's claws rise in an attempt to tear at his opponent, but Samantha vanishes before his eyes, disappearing from his sight.

Cain quickly turns his gaze skyward and watches Samantha swoop down. {Lancelot, ski it quickly!} warns Cain.

Lancelot's response is too late, and Samantha reappears in midair, her hand enveloped in a yellowish green aura. Her accurate blow impacts Lancelot's ribs.

A pained grunt escapes Lancelot as a yellowish-green shockwave erupts, illuminating the surroundings and unleashing a powerful wind that shakes hair and clothes.

Lancelot collides violently with the ground, creating a crater of considerable dimensions. In a matter of milliseconds, two additional blows hit the animal again, expanding the crater even more and generating a shockwave that cracks the surrounding sand.

Everyone present watches in amazement and surprise as eyes are fixed on Samantha, who has made additional attacks without even appearing to have moved from her original position. Her hands remain folded behind her back, and her attention remains fixed on Lancelot.

Garrith furrows his brow as he witnesses Samantha's surprising sequence of movements. His thoughts stir in deep reflection, 'That girl threw a single blow, and her aura permeated Lancelot's body. Then, with that same aura, she created two other attacks at the same point.' His gaze shifts to Lisa, revealing his astonishment in the following thought, 'That's a terrifying technique. Striking repeatedly at the same point with overwhelming force, causing truly devastating damage.'

Duke and Arthur stare in awe at the scene, while a silence laden with awe reigns in the arena, confirmed by the expression of everyone present.

Cain's gaze hardens, a vein appears on his forehead, and he clenches his fist with determination as he observes the immobilized Lancelot.

"Shall we continue?" interjects Samantha with a smile on her lips. After a brief moment of silence, she adds, "Though your main power was defeated."

Cain, without uttering a word, responds to Samantha's question by launching a golden energy attack in her direction, showing his willingness to continue the contest.

Samantha smiles and removes her hands from behind her back. Her right fist wraps around her aura, which ascends towards her shoulder like a spiral before concentrating on her arm, guiding her strike to meet Cain's attack.

The impact of Samantha's punch destroys Cain's attack with ease.

Frustrated, Cain scowls and launches two more attacks in quick succession.

Samantha responds confidently, her two arms wrapped in his aura. Two large yellow-green fists form from her energy and collide with Cain's attacks, generating a powerful explosion that leaves observers shocked by the magnitude of the impact.

The four attacks collide and explode in an explosion, from which two fists emerge and head towards Cain.

Faced with the imminent threat, Cain quickly erects a defensive barrier.

The two fists hit the barrier with force, creating two explosions that crack the ground and generate two new craters.

Samantha moves at great speed, breaking through the dust and appearing in front of Cain, taking the young man surprised.

Cain raises his hand enveloped in a golden aura in an attempt to parry Samantha's blow.

Cain's defense and Samantha's attack collide in a burst of energy, generating a huge explosion that shakes the arena and leaves all spectators stunned.

The dust dissipates, revealing Cain three feet away from Samantha, his arm completely shattered and dripping with blood.

The scene leaves the young people confused by the speed of events and the shocking conclusion of the confrontation.

The WAA and KAA teachers look on with shock and bewilderment on their faces.

With calmness and assurance in her voice, Samantha utters words that reverberate in the ears of all the young people present, "The showdown is over."

Without waiting for Cain's response, she returns to her original position, leaving him staring at her with an expression of dissatisfaction and discontent.

Cain contemplates his shattered arm, with bones fractured into countless fragments, burned skin and dripping blood with a gesture of resignation, turns around and heads back to his seat.

As he arrives, he meets Arthur's serious gaze and Duke's coldness.

Garrith's gaze settles on Cain before shifting to Lisa, and his thoughts reflect his concern, 'They were completely overpowered.... Will it be the same with Arthur?'

Two individuals act quickly and quietly, removing Lancelot from the arena and taking him to the medical room for attention.

"They are incredibly strong," Subin mutters in awe, catching the attention of those around him.

Gangseok, Jisuk and Sucheon's faces shadow, while Wooin, next to Jiwoo, watches silently.

Teachers and students from both institutions look at Lisa, Samantha, Emily, Teresa and James with shock and amazement.

On a bleacher away from the spectators, three cats quietly enjoy their snack as they watch the confrontation.

"They sure took it a bit seriously," Kartein comments with a mocking tone.

Kayden nods and adds, "They have decent talent, but they can't compare to the Prodigies like us."

"Yes... both sides can be considered geniuses, but that's about it. Though from genius to genius, there can be abysmal differences" Ares adds.

Kartein, with a devilish grin, lets out a malevolent laugh. "JEJEJEJEJEJE... Who can compare to the great Kartein?"

Kayden and Ares look at him in disbelief.

Jiyoung, behind the WAA teachers and students, frowns as he watches the outcome of the bouts and then turns his attention to the quartet preparing to face them.

The arena returns to its original state, and Teresa strides purposefully toward the center, confidently awaiting her opponent.
