The visitation day by Phoenix City Academy. Phoenix City is one of the Alliance cities bordering Alvestia Kingdom. Every 2 years, they exchange students to learn from each other.
"Welcome, my dear fellow students from Phoenix City, to our humble academy, Alvestia Academy!" said one of the hosts, who is also a teacher at Alvestia Academy.
Twenty students entered the academy hall, among them was a young and beautiful girl with red hair, walking elegantly. Her name was Farah Lousville. Beside her was a boy with green hair, dressed smartly. His name was Lans Nelson. The other students were also dressed in smart outfits, a mix of boys and girls.
"Finally, we have arrived at this academy. The students look so weak," said Hans to Sarah. Sarah simply looked around, capturing the attention of the students at Alvestia Academy with her stunning beauty. "Wow, she's so beautiful," whispered one girl from the side.
After that, they entered the classroom where Shu and his friends resided.
The accompanying teacher announced, "Attention, 2nd-year students! We have visitors from our alliance, Phoenix Academy. They will be here to learn from us for the next two weeks, so I hope you all can get along."
"Wow, she's so beautiful!" exclaimed Gants to Shu, his eyes filled with admiration. Fedd also seemed smitten by her. Meanwhile, Sauri wore a grumpy expression. Sarah and Shu made eye contact, and Shu smiled at her, but she simply ignored it.
Afterward, the teacher asked them to spar, with 5 students from Phoenix City and 5 students from Alvestia.
The 5 students from Phoenix City were Farah, Lans, Banov, Pikol, and Terva. Banov was a big boy with sharp hair, Pikol had dark skin and pointy ears, and Terva was a small boy with messy hair.
While the students from Alvestia were Shu, Sauri, Gants, Fedd, and Wallis. Wallis was a glasses-wearing boy with nerdy hair.
First round, Gants versus Banov. Gants used a shield as his weapon, while Banov used boxing gloves. They stared at each other intently.
"Begin!" the teacher announced, starting the first round.
Banov rushed towards Gants with his large body, throwing multiple punches. Gants blocked the punches with his shield, the sound of their clashes echoing, "Bam, Bam!" After several attacks, Gants was pushed back and fell.
"So weak," Banov taunted Gants. "That's enough!" The teacher stopped the match. Banov won the first round, earning Phoenix City one point.
Next is Wallis versus Pikol. Wallis wielded a staff as his weapon, while Pikol had a baton.
The match began, and Wallis and Pikol faced each other, ready to engage in combat. The clash of their weapons echoed in the air as they exchanged strikes and parries. Wallis demonstrated precise and calculated movements with his staff, while Pikol showcased agility and speed with his baton.
Their fight was intense, with each participant displaying their unique skills and techniques. Wallis used his staff to create defensive barriers and launch powerful strikes, while Pikol utilized his baton for swift and precise attacks.
The battle continued, drawing the attention of the spectators who were eagerly observing the exchange of skills between the two combatants.
During the intense battle between Wallis and Pikol, Wallis found himself at a disadvantage. Despite his calculated moves and defensive barriers, Pikol's agility and speed proved to be a formidable challenge.
Pikol expertly maneuvered around Wallis's staff strikes, swiftly dodging and countering with precise and well-timed attacks. His swift movements allowed him to exploit Wallis's defensive openings, landing several accurate blows.
As the match progressed, Wallis struggled to keep up with Pikol's fast-paced and agile fighting style. The relentless onslaught from Pikol left Wallis struggling to find an effective strategy to counter his opponent's speed and precision.
Despite his best efforts, Wallis eventually succumbed to Pikol's relentless assault. The teacher intervened, calling an end to the match. It was a hard-fought battle, but Pikol emerged as the victor, securing another point for the Phoenix City team.
Wallis accepted the defeat gracefully, recognizing the skill and agility displayed by Pikol. Both fighters showed great sportsmanship, acknowledging each other's abilities and exchanging a respectful nod before leaving the sparring area.
The match continued with the remaining participants, as the students from Alvestia Academy aimed to narrow the point gap and demonstrate their own strengths in the upcoming rounds.
