On either side of the sky bridge, students from Thunder Edge Academy clad in blue windbreakers and students from Edith Academy wearing black uniforms charged at each other like two war chariots.
Flashes appeared one after another within the ranks of both teams, followed by slashes streaking towards the other side.

Then they slashed down.
The merciless slash shattered the pale shield and defenses, striking the bodies of their opponents. Flesh acted as a buffer, bones broke, a stifled spout of blood gushed forth, and the spreading shockwaves toppled several nearby persons, creating a fissure upon impact with the ground.
