The long awaited day finally arrived. Participants from nine academies gathered in the competition arena at the CR (Center Relic) headquarters in Korea. The atmosphere around the arena was filled with tension and enthusiasm, with students eager to prove their abilities. Flags from various countries fly, reflecting the diversity and burning spirit of competition.
Akaya stood in line with her friends from the Indonesian Meka Academy, wearing the now updated Relic N502. Ruins' AI system has been an invaluable ally, giving Akaya extra confidence.
"Participants, prepare yourselves," commander Jin Hao's voice echoed throughout the arena. Jin Hao, with his charisma and decisiveness, was known as one of the best commanders in Relic's history. He gave a short speech that pumped up the spirits of the participants, emphasizing the importance of strategy, teamwork and courage.
After the speech, the big monitor in the arena displayed the names of the participants who would fight in the first round. Akaya saw her name listed, facing participants from Sin Tae Academy, Korea. Her opponent is Sung Na, the latest V series Relic user known for her extraordinary strength and Furi mode abilities.
"The first fight, Akaya Sinanhomiya from the Indonesian Meka Academy against Sung Na from the Korean Sin Tae Academy," the announcement sounded clearly.
The audience cheered, giving support to their respective heroes. Akaya stepped into the arena tense but full of confidence. Opposite him, Sung Na stood with a V series Relic that radiated an aura of power.
"Akaya, we have to be careful. Relic Sung Na has very high strength and speed. We need a mature strategy," Ruins' voice sounded in Akaya's helmet.
Akaya nodded and entered fighting mode. The fight started quickly, both participants fired attacks at each other at high speed. Akaya's Relic N502 shows great performance, thanks to updates from Ruins.
Sung Na suddenly activated Furi mode. Dragon wings and tiger claws appeared, increasing his strength significantly. Sung Na's speed and strength make her seem almost unstoppable.
"Akaya, we have to change tactics. "Focus on defense and look for gaps to counterattack," suggested Ruins.
Akaya followed Ruins' advice, increasing her defense and avoiding Sung Na's deadly attacks. The fight became more intense when Akaya managed to find an opening and launch an effective counterattack.
When the battle reached its peak, suddenly the large monitor in the arena displayed a warning. A large-scale monster attack was detected near the CR base. The spectators and participants were shocked, but there was no time to panic.
Commander Jin Hao immediately gave the order, "All participants, prepare yourselves to resist the monster attack. This is the real test."
Akaya and Sung Na looked at each other, knowing that they had to work together to face this threat. The competition battle was over, but the greater battle had just begun.
"Akaya, it's time to show your true abilities," Ruins said firmly.
Akaya nodded, ready to face the incoming threat. Together with participants from other academies, they move towards a new battlefield, ready to protect the CR base and show that they are true heroes.
