Everyone in the arena was shocked when they saw kaguya Shirohaga flawlessly defeat the scion of the great ogurachi clan. This sent a chill under the audience spine seeing as a seven year old boy defeated a fourteen years old girl.
The heads of the great clans of the land of Haga all looked at the leader of the Shirohaga Clan and the leader of the ogurachi clan to see their reactions. A tall huge man who appeared to be in his forties wearing a black kimono was seated besides other clan leader his dark suppressed aura radiated power with a hint of death to it, he was the clan head of the ogurachi clan the demonic manipulation clan. The leader of the clan was known as Armin the impenetrable shield, due to Armin's clan back ground his abilities where the most basic in the clan but the deadliest for Armin had mastered the ability to the extent were he was second to non in barriers. He was also way older than he looked he was actually one hundred forty years old.
Armin was now staring at his youngest daughter in the arena she was now knocked unconscious by a seven year old boy of his rival clan, he was very upset but chose not to show it. While still looking at Kaguya Armin addressed the gazing eyes that where upon him.
"I guess she will have to have to take the test next year despite her being in no way weak"
The statement cleared the audience doubts, and the examiner announced the final dual. It was a face off between two brothers one who was younger and the other who was older.
The two brothers appeared to the stage, Rytha was wearing a traditional samurai attire but with out amour he unsheathed his sword and made a confident stance while looking at his brother.
This sent a rumbling of gossip among the Audience, one of the people in the Audience spoke.
"Isn't he supposed to be a Shirohaga? Then why is he wearing that attire ?"
And another.
"I heard he can't even access magicles and that was why he was banished from his clan"
And another.
" He is a disgrace to the Shirohaga Clan he should just be slaughtered "
Despite all the comments Rytha was not affected after all this was Rytha's first battle in the tournament and he wanted no he had to give it his all. Rytha looked at his brother with a composed face.
"Brother Rytha I sense an unstable flow of soul essence in your body I advise you to step down for it is impossible to defeat me as you are now".
"Kaguya, we have not seen each other for three years and the first thing you say is for me to give up ? Surely you jest".
Before kaguya the observer announced the match to begin. Suddenly kaguya leaped from where he stood to were Rytha was and pierced his chest but in that second before his hand reached Rytha's chest Rytha managed to deflect the fast approaching hand and stepped away from kaguya. Kaguya's hand had managed to cut a part of the kimono while Rytha deflected it earlier.
" Teacher do you think Rytha will be alright, that hit almost killed him"
A young man spoke to his teacher while his eyes were fixed on the arena. His teacher looked at him and answered.
"He will be fine besides if he does get hurt the healers and the doctors in the other hall way of the arena will heal him."
The two brothers clashed but despite kaguya not using his sword he still had he upper hand. All Rytha could do was dodge, deflect, block and back step he could not attack or rather was not given a chance to.
"Look brother Rytha, is this what mom would have come to see ? You losing to me !"
Kaguya stopped attacking and looked at his brother who was now breathing heavily at the other side of the arena. Rytha spoke in a hoarse voice.
" Where is mom isn't she here ?"
