The whole training hall become silent. Kids that were shouting to beat up rank 2897 are now all speechless. The battle was not something they expected it to turn out. Normally it was supposed to be rank 1014 easily handling rank 2897 who had more then 1500 rank difference.
Rank 1014 used his ability to make a fast thrust with his katana that is nearly invisible to the naked eye. And his ability also worked well. It penetrated rank 2897's body form one side and went out from other side. But what happened next is what made everyone speechless. Instead of screaming in pain rank 2897 grabbed the katana in one hand and cut off both of his opponents hands with another hand.
Then instead of looking at his injuries and the blade hanging on his body like it never existed he put his sword on his opponent's neck and asked in a cold tone.
"Death or surrender?"
Rank 1014 was in no condition to surrender as he was screaming in pain and panic by suddenly losing both of his hands.
"Death I guess." Rank 2897 pulled his sword back and swung his sword toward the handless boys. But when it was inches away from the neck two finger grabbed it.
"That's enough." Said Mr.Luke. "Rank 2897 is the winner of the duel."
Rank 2897 looked at the katana that was inside his torso. Then he removed the severed hand the was attached to katana and dropped it infront of Rank 1014.
He walked out of the ring with the katana penetrating his body and blood dripping from it. The crowd that went speechless unintentionally made way for him.

Apparently another video has been uploaded into the website. The title was "The first duel of Class B-1." The second appearance of Kardama created a new reaction among the students.
{ Rank 598 : This dude appeared in the newcomer festival video. He was the dude sleeping in the bus without giving a f*ck to what was happening outside.}
{Rank 1109 (Big brain) : Look at him carrying a katana in his torso without giving it a fuck either.}
{Rank 1330 : He is in my class, B-1. The first thing he asked the teacher was "Is killing allowed?"}
{Rank 1501 (The sky is blue) : You guys shoud definitely stay the f*ck away from maniac like this. Speaking of maniac, which class the Poison Maniac go? Anyone knows? }
{Rank 506(Heavenly Demon) : F*ck. He is my class,A-1. This guy is a f*cking lunatic. Today a big guy tried to pick a fight with him for sholder bumping him. That lunatic just stabbed his eye out with a needle. I am scared of even being in the same class as him. Apparently he is rank 15. He is someone you should never mess with.}
{Rank 15 : Oh, a conversation about me? Why don't you guys let me in?}
{Rank 15 : Poison Maniac? Who gave me this nickname? }
{Rank 506(Heavenly Demon) : F*CK! ITS POISON MANIAC. RUN! }
{Rank 1501 (The sky is blue) : Idiot, whats the point of running here?}
{Rank 1109 (Big brain) : Prayer for the poor soul who named him poison maniac. If he finds him out who knows how many 7 inches long black thing will enter his body. I am talking about the needles by the way .}
{Rank 15 : Oh my god. Why would I do that?}
{ Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac) : I love this name .Its cool. I always appreciate new names. }
{Rank 1501 (The sky is blue) : Thanks. That was made by me. Good thing you liked it. I don't want to get stabbed by your needles .}
{ Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac) : But I liked it so much that now I want my needle to penetrate you even more. How about all of us meet up and compliment each others creativity?}
{ Rank 1501 (The sky is blue) : Pervert! You stay the f*ck away from me.}
{Rank 506(Heavenly Demon) : Me too.}
{Rank 1109 (Big brain) : Me Three.}
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac): Oh, don't worry. My compliments are like a fine poison - deadly but oddly flattering.}
{Rank 1501 (The Sky is Blue): Flattery will get you nowhere, buddy. Keep your needles to yourself.}
{Rank 506 (Heavenly Demon): Yeah, I'm more into heavenly vibes, not poisonous ones.}
{Rank 1109 (Big Brain): Agreed. Let's stick to exchanging ideas, not toxins.}
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac): Oh, but I thrive on toxicity! It's my bread and butter, baby.}
{Rank 1501 (The Sky is Blue): Well, I prefer my bread without poison.}
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac): Ah, but poison adds that extra zing!}
{Rank 1501 (The Sky is Blue): I prefer my zing without the sting, thank you very much.}
{Rank 506 (Heavenly Demon): Count me out of this potion party.}
{Rank 1109 (Big Brain): Yeah, let's keep the chatroom a place for stimulating conversations, not toxic ones.}
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac): But do any of you know that guy on the video?}
{Rank 1109 (Big Brain): That guy? I don't think he belongs to any big family. Never seen him before.}
{Rank 506 (Heavenly Demon): All we know that he is in Class B-1. Even if his rank is 2897 , I am never messing with him. And that is all I need to know.}
{Rank 1501 (The Sky is Blue): Hell, people like that are ranked above 2000? I am not trusting this academy's ranking system anymore.}
{Rank 1109 (Big Brain): Some people are just build different. Look at how he subdued someone ranked at 1000. I just hope I can avoid scary people like these.}
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac) : Yeah, I also don't wanna mess with people like that. I just want to meet with lovely people and spread some love.}
{Rank 506 (Heavenly Demon) : "....." }
{Rank 1501 (The Sky is Blue) : "....." }
{Rank 1109 (Big Brain ) : "....." }
{Rank 15 (The Poison Maniac) : Guys?....Guys? Anyone here? Hello? What about the poison party? Anyone coming?}

Class B-1.
After we were done with selecting our weapon, we came back to our class. Everything was back to normal but I can still hear some people whispering about me.
"F*ck, he was really going to kill him if Mr. Luke didn't stop him."
"Crazy, did you see that? He just took that hit like it was nothing!"
"Is he even human? No one should be able to keep fighting with a sword stuck in them like that."
"I've never seen anyone so calm in the face of injury. He's like a machine."
"I don't know whether to be impressed or terrified."
"Whoever he is, he's not someone you want to mess with."
"I hope I never have to face him in a duel."
"Man, this just got real intense real fast."
"Hahaha, F*ck. I was thinking of challenging him. Good thing I could not.He must be from some powerful family."
But nonetheless, I was healed afterward. No more duel occurred. We were just back to our classroom taking another class. Another teacher appeared and I learned some more basic information.
In the world of the Awakened, individuals possess a diverse range of abilities and talents, each unique in its own right. Among them are the Martial Artists, practitioners of martial arts who harness elemental energies within their bodies to enhance their combat prowess. Their expertise lies in close-quarters combat, utilizing precise movements and techniques to overwhelm their opponents.
On the other hand, Mages specialize in the manipulation of elemental energies outside of their bodies, wielding powerful spells to unleash devastating attacks from a distance. Their mastery of magic allows them to control the elements with precision and finesse, making them formidable adversaries in long-range combat.
But the diversity of the Awakened doesn't end there. There are those like the Archers, who combine elements of both Martial Arts and Magic, channeling elemental energy within themselves to enhance their archery skills and imbue their arrows with magical properties. With a keen eye and steady hand, they strike their targets with deadly accuracy from afar.
Then there are the Magic Swordsmen, a unique blend of Mage and Martial Artist, who wield enchanted blades infused with elemental energies. Their fighting style combines the fluidity of martial arts with the devastating power of magic, allowing them to seamlessly transition between close-quarters combat and long-range spellcasting.
In the world of the Awakened, one's path is determined by their innate talents, which range from F rank to SSS rank. Some may excel in magic, while others may possess unrivaled skill in martial arts. And then there are those rare few who are blessed with talents in both disciplines, wielding a combination of magic and martial prowess that sets them apart from their peers.
