"Our next match-up is underway. After that beautiful spectacle in the first match we fight A Twelve Star and Dragonclad" Lop speaks into the microphone.
"A Dragonclad at this edge is something. The only other known Dragonclad is The Federation of Mages Captain of Squad 4 Percival Caldwell" Randall Deximar explains.

"Hey your back just in time," Issac says.
"They're about to start," Luna says.
"Feeling better" Axel asks.
"Yeah a little got to talk to the Twelve Star from Falos"
"Really? Which one?" Axel asks.
"Aries the Strength she seemed to be a nice girl" Faith remarks.
"I see," Axel says.
"As long as she showed manners and was polite in introducing herself
"She was cool. But what happened afterward was. Well, never mind I'll take you guys about this after the this is all over. Who's fighting?" Faith says as she looks at the Arena trying to change the subject.
"Ezekiel and Jericho." She says to herself.
"Wow, the first time you called Ezekiel by his actual name Faith am impressed" Issac remarks.
"Yeah did something happen?"
"N-no of course not the last time we spoke was when he sav- never let's pay attention to the match that's about to begin"
-------------------------
Across the Colosseum
"Those people sitting in those chairs across from us who are they?" Ai asks pointing across.
"Hey stop pointing," Rowen says trying to lower her arm.
"Well, how am I supposed to tell you guys?"
"We can see the box right there Ai"
With a tired expression, William speaks, "Those are the student council of Aurora Saint Academy from right to left the Student Council President Axel Friedman, the young lady with the pigtails and purple hair is their Vice President Luna Divine Solace who uses a moon blade, next to her is the Twelve Star of Aquarius Faith Alexander"-
"Really?" Ai asks.
"I heard rumors that she was bestowed the blessing even before she took the Chalice of Paths?" Rowen asks.
"That is true its also true that the blessing can be bestowed at any time of the chosen mage's life. Her and him-" Pointing at the participant's box "Valerus Marina"
"Continuing down the line next to her is the Treasurer Issac Di Angelo"
"That name sounds familiar." Rowen remarks.
"Yes his sister is also a Twelve Star in the East Region of Zellar Libra the Justice"
"Damn having a sibling being a Twelve Star and you aren't" Ai.
"Hey, I heard he is a great mage regardless of being a Twelve Star or not he was the test prompter for the second stage he did a good job. Moving on to the last member Ceaser Bellamore heard he's quiet but strong with magic and strategic plan-making"
STEP STEP
Xi comes back "Hey guys am back got everyone a little snack. "Her hands full Xi passes out a shisicabob of pieces of cooked meat with teriyaki sauce on a stick.
"Wow thanks, Xi" Rowen says.
"Thank you," William says.
"Thank you the best," Ai says happily.
"Was the line long?" Rowen asks.
"No pretty fair I met the Twelve Star Aquarius she seems nice and friendly"
"We were just talking about her and the rest of the student council" Ai adds on grubbing down on the food. "Careful its-" "HOT!"
"Ehehe"
-----------------------------
Ezekiel and Jericho stand across each other.
TAP TAP
"They put this arena back together pretty good" Ezekiel speaks to Jericho as he taps the floor.
"The headmaster's little builders did their work.
"Too bad they going to have to work some more"
"Akright Ezekiel and Jericho let me know when you guys are ready," Kayneth asks.
"Well you ready Ezekiel"
"Been ready no hard feelings right?"
"No hard feelings. Just a simple knockdown match that's all" Jericho extends his right arm as his long sword materializes.
"That's all. Ok." Ezekiel takes his stance.
"ALL RIGHT BEGIN"
{STAR MAGIC: ON THE HUNT}
Ezekiel jumps in the air. "Tch this sun" Jericho looks up as his vision is blinded by the high afternoon sun.
"TAKE THIS"
Ezekiel slams his entire right arm downwards.
CLASH
Jericho counters as he blocks the armed attack with his sword.
"Ezekiel starts off the match with mid-air offense that Jericho blocks," Lop says.
-------------------------------
Federation Box
"Percvial who do you get? Your fellow Dragonclad? Or the Twelve Star of Leo?" Kaneda asks.
Percival stars at the match ignoring the question.
"Alright, Id say the Twelve Star" Kaneda as he clapped his hands together.
"The match just started Kaneda I'd say there feeling each other out right now"
"You'll see"
--------------------------
Ezekiel continues to add pressure to the attack making Jonathan hold that position as the ground below him begins to crack.
"Shit. He's probably trying to trap me. Right, he was there in the forest. He knows that closed-off spaces are my weakest when wielding this weapon" I just need -"
Suddenly Ezekiel Uses both hands and kicks Jericho in the sternum pushing him a few feet back and making him a few feet away from the edge of the Arena.
"OOFF"
Jericho looking back catches himself before he can even make it around that area.
'SHOOT"
Ezekiel charges in again as Jericho activates his levitation magic to soar above Ezekiel.
"Jericho takes to the skies as Ezekiel is left on the arena ground waiting to be attacked"
Jericho dives at Ezekiel with his blade swinging at Ezekiel but as he does damages the arena.
He goes back up. "He's just dodging my attacks this will get us nowhere"
"Hey where's that sword that you had during the second exam I wanna see that" Ezekiel yells out to him.
"He's provoking me to use it. Hmm this could be reverse psychology to not make me use it so"
Jericho holds his sword out in front of him with both his hands.
{WEAPON ENHANCE-"
HA
Ezekiel throws the rubble made from the arena at him.
Jericho blocks it.
As he removes puts down his arms from blocking.
Ezekiel seems to appear in front of him out of nowhere.
'ARGH"
Ezekiel lands another hit on Jericho knocking him towards the ground.
"How did he-" Jericho looks up seeing the bigger chunks of rubble that were made were used as stairs to make his way up to him. "He jumped that quick" he thought to himself.
"Take this" Ezekiel sends the giant pieces of rubble that he used to make as stairs reign down Jericho.
SLASH
CUT
SLASH
Jericho slashes all the blocks as he makes it back on the Arena floor with Ezekiel landing on his two feet.
HUFF HUFF "Your really making me work for this victory "
"Of course I also wanna see your form that you take on"
"Alright alright"
