In the sky, two students were facing off.
Grimm's nose and mouth were showing because the Ashen mask had been broken. He watched his rival's bull-like strong figure, and noticed a trace of thunder force moving around him.
"Thunder Axe Gade," said Grimm.
Gade wore a black metal armor, revealing only a pair of eyes which gave off red lights. The armor was covered with protruding barbs that was surrounded by elements of varied attributes. On his back was a one and a half meter long axe, which had scarlet energy swimming around it as if it was something alive.
"Ashen Mask Grimm. Did you expect us to meet again?" Gade grunted in a calm voice.
However, Grimm knew that this was the moment of peace before the storm.
Grimm had recovered from 80 percent of his wounds but his mask was damaged and his giant animal was still in a repair state in his mind, while Gade was fully combat ready.
