Inside the hotel where the Hade university stayed.
"Alisha, what do you think? I mean you have already battled why don't you rest up and save your cards for that mysterious Wong guy?" Sasha sipped her coke and continued, "What do you think about him?"
Alisha turned around and asked giving a scary glare, "What do you think about 'me' ?"
"Hey hey... Am not saying that he is stronger than you or anything like that, but don't you find it strange? He not being from a royal family managed to get soo strong! And his shadow teleportation is perfect." Sasha moved a step back slightly shaken by Alisha's glare.
"Both of you calm down, tomorrow Bonjo and you, Sasha would be clearing up the Magma continents team, and Alisha would be staying on hold." Professor John who was made the warden for this year's Battle tournament gave out his strategy for their battle of tomorrow.
"Huh... Alright, but you should know I can't control myself when I see others battle..." Alisha clenched her fist and punched a hole in the wall.
"We know queen Alisha, but we have to restrain you from battling so that we can win the final battle." Bonjo walked to the centre and continued, "As the captain of this group, I would like everyone to follow professor John's plan."
"Huh... Alright alright..." Alisha sighed and left the room, punching holes through the wall.
The day when the semifinals would be commenced came.
"Hello everyone!!!! This is me your favourite Commentator!! And I would be narrating all the battles held today!"
Sasha jumped onto the battlefield without waiting for them to call her out.
"It seems Jade university is planning to save Alisha for their final battle!"
"We have the princess of the Mana palace from the Flare continent, Sasha!"
"Woah it's my class reunion!" Zeno was hardly able to control himself in front of the excitement.
The battle commenced and Sasha unleashed all of her mana energy.m, in each attack she used.
"Mana storm!" She slowed away her fifth opponent.
"Mana princess Sasha managed to blow away five students of Molten Lava academy! She's gorgeous and talented, a fairy descended from the heavens!"
Sasha quietly walked back to her seat.
"Princess Sasha would be on hold, and the next competitor is Bonjo!"
Bonjo jumped on the stage, flexing his massive muscular body, he wore a pair of golden knuckles.
"Killer Blow!"
"Sixth one is down! The seventh one entered the stage!"
"Brutal Tornado!"
"Seventh one is down!"
"Eight one is out!"
"Ninth one is out too! The last one has entered the stage! They all look like punching bags in front of him!"
The word punching bag brought back memories for Zeno, he smiled a little on hearing the word punching bag.
"Five Pressure Points!"
Bonjo stabbed all of his five fingers at different spots on his opponent making him paralysed.
"And the tenth one is down too!!!" Clare continent is going insane! It completely demolished last year's winners!!"
"This next batch of youth is pretty enthusiastic, we will continue with our Rumble round soon!"
Zeno stood up from his seat and stretched out his arms, then he turned around to Diana, she was constantly staring at him front the start of the tournament.
'Hey you, stop staring at me, want something from me?' Zeno simply used telekinesis and transmitted his thoughts to her.
"What the?!" Diana quickly moved her gaze away.
'He has duel ability! He can use telekinesis and shadow teleportation!' Diana gulped and moved her gaze to the battlefield.
'That bitch... I will teach her a lesson...' Zeno sighed and then looked towards Renn, she was trembling with fear.
Zeno gently hugged Renn and contained with his usual cute smile, "Something bothering you?"
"Y... Yes... Im wondering will our collaboration attack work?" She replied still a little bit hesitant.
"Silly girl, just go and do your job, and don't worry if anything goes wrong, you will be my priority." He replied with a smile.
"Alright!" Renn hugged him back feeling a lot more energised than before.
"Here comes the very first Royal Rumble!"
Zeno and Renn walked to the battlefield without wasting a second.
"Wong and Shin would be the ones fighting by the Dark continent!"
"Prince Davis and Guan would be fitting by ice continent."
"And last Princess Felina and Shez would be fitting by the lighting continent!"
Princess Felina and Prince Davis shook their hands and shedded their swords against Zeno and Renn.
"Woah!!! It seems lighting and ice would be figuring alongside each other to defeat the Dark continent! It's not against the rules, but dam it's interesting, why don't we get who wins??"
"I think ice and lighting will win, even if he is a genius, he can't defeat two royal kids at the same time."
Most of them betted on Zeno losing.
"You remember what to do right?" He asked Renn with a serious face.
"Yes I do," Renn replied without hesitating or dealing with any fear.
"Alright get ready."
Zeno snapped his finger creating a massive barrier all around the battlefield.
'This kid can create a barrier... Like that?' Every royalty present over there couldn't believe their eyes.
"Go on Renn, I would meditate until you create your barriers." Zeno closed his eyes and began to meditate.
His dense aura enables him to float in the air.
"Prince Davis let's take them down first, then we will fight each other."
"Yup Princess Felina."
"Lighting Storm!!" Felina released her yellow mana creating her thunder cloud striking Zeno.
Zeno didn't even bother to dodge it.
"This arrogant bastard! Take this one! Snow Storm!!" Davis used his light blue aura and created chilling snow, freezing anything in its path.
But Zeno still didn't bother to Ridge it and continued to meditate.
By this time Renn managed to create twenty barriers.
"Ahhh darn it!!" Is he immortal or what?!" Both David and Felina began to lose their anger.
"Let's stop hitting the immortal and go behind the girl who is creating barriers!!"
Renn shivered in fear on seeing both of them walking at her.
'Dont worry cutie, I know you have worked hard, just create more ten barriers and leave the rest to me.'
Hearing Zeno's voice in her mind made her calm.
"Alright!"
She concentrated all of her remaining mana to create ten more barriers.
"Divine Punishment! Lighting Strike!"
"Snow Spear Shower!"
*Boom*
Both Davis and Felina used their strongest attacks, those were created by an aura and hence proved very vital against someone like Renn who's mentally weak.
"Woah!!! It seems Ice and Lighting have crushed Shin and Wong!"
When the dust settled, Zeno was levitating in the air surrounded by his dark aura.
He gently kissed Renn on her forehead and said, "Thanks Renn, now leave the rest to me."
Zeno snapped his fingers again creating a protective barrier around Renn.
Then he floated towards Davis and Felina.
"You both are too weak." He began creating a black ball between his palm."
"Dam, you! We are not weak!!" Davis and Felina couldn't bear being called weak.
He pressed his ball of aura.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
The explosions continued for a minute without stopping.
Until it reached the last layer of the barrier where Zeno's barrier neutralised the shockwave.
When the smoke and dust cleared both Felina and Davis with their partners were left unconscious.
"No way!!! What happened here!!"
Diana couldn't sustain herself from jumping to the battlefield and asking about his move.
"Just a simple mana and aura science." Zeno shrugged his shoulders.
"What do you mean??" Diana still couldn't get one thing.
"Listen, mana is a magical form of power, it affects everyone's physical, the aura is emotions of our heart, they can be changed, but the aura can't do physical damage, either mental damage or it can help you float as I did, but one thing we forget most of the time is that the aura is used for protecting and mana for the attack. But we tampered with them creating mana barriers, these barriers can repel physical attacks but the aura which doe snot follow this principle destroys this barrier and forces it to shatter."
"But that does not explain why it didn't affect your barrier! You used a mana barrier too didn't you??" Diana was still not satisfied.
"Take it easy... Don't forget if the user's mana and aura collide it neutralises... You are a ruler... At least don't panic like this..." Zeno sighed at her and walked back to his seat carrying Renn in his arm.
'Dam this kid!!! He is soo dam mysterious!!!' Diana clenched her fists in anger.
Alisha couldn't believe her ears or eyes, it was as if she just got a flashback of her memories.
