After a few more minutes, the dean appeared flying in the sky again, considering that the event started early and had barely reached noon. The dean’s next words were normal.
"Now we will only have a few fights at a time, so the other students can watch and take something away from them." This time it took about two hours before Kayden fought again, the delay was because those who lost a life were fighting again.
Kayden’s next fight wasn’t difficult at all and he only had to release a few dozen beams for his opponent to be destroyed, this was within what he expected.
Probably in his year, no one else could pose any challenge to him, even the greatest geniuses who were already in the mage realm were only at the fifth or sixth rank, while he had reached the seventh.
"We finally reached the top 20 remaining students, from now on it will no longer be an individual fight but everyone against everyone in a huge bubble, making teams is allowed and anything related, the classification will be in the order in which you are expelled from the arena ."
A few minutes later, Kayden was in a huge bubble almost 500 meters wide, along with him nineteen other students were present. Kayden automatically recognized a few, Locke, Anabela, Anthony, the teenager he faced a few years ago.
He was surprised to see her there, clearly, he remembered that she was a support mage, her only weapon was a parasol that had a unique mana leak that Kayden hadn’t noticed the first time.
He didn’t see Linus, Isaac, or Luan among the people, they were probably disqualified before. His friends were strong enough to be considered powerful geniuses, but not strong enough to be considered a genius among geniuses.
"May the best win," with the rector’s speech the final battle began. Locke was the first to join Kayden while a few other groups started to appear next.
In the end, five groups were formed, Kayden and Locke isolated and the rest divided into unequal numbers.
"Careful," Kayden warned Locke calmly as he felt a rush of mana towards them. His speech was proven correct when several fire phoenixes appeared against the two. Kayden instantly recognized where they were coming from.
"Sorry about this, Kayden, but you’re too dangerous to be left alone," Anthony spoke as he approached Anabela’s support. Along with them was the white-haired healer girl and a wizard wearing an eye patch and a scythe.
"I’ll take the mages at bay," Locke said and sped off at the two. Anthony and the one-eyed man even tried to stop the prince, but Kayden stopped them with his lightning. Without giving them time to breathe, Kayden went all out towards Anthony.
The blanket held back Kayden’s first attack with the katana and allowed Anthony to exchange a blow with him, which was impressively held back by a layer of mana on Kayden’s body.
At the same time as all this was happening, a large amount of mana appeared over Kayden’s finger and an aura attack made of pure mana was thrown at the scythe user, preventing him from getting closer.
Anthony pulled the entire blanket towards him and began exchanging blows with Kayden, but it was clear that he was spending most of his time on the defensive and being pushed back, meanwhile, the one-eyed man couldn’t get any closer, as every time lightning struck. I leave him.
The same situation repeated itself with Kayden accumulating mana on his finger, Anthony saw that this was his chance to attack while Kayden tried to keep the one-eyed man away and...
’What?’ Anthony asked himself this question when he saw himself in heaven. Kayden didn’t attack the one-eyed man and directed the aura cut at Anthony, with the proximity and strength of his attack, the boy was instantly taken out of the match to avoid being divided into two halves.
Meanwhile, Kayden had suffered a slight cut on his back from the one-eyed man’s scythe. Even though he put up a mana barrier, it was melted as if it was made of butter because of some skill he had.
The cut began to close to the naked eye and Kayden quickly stepped back to view the situation more calmly. The scythe user didn’t let him get very far and his attack was stopped by Kayden’s katana.
Again, a series of blows were exchanged and Kayden once again proved superior by causing the spear user to be thrown away each time. He still hadn’t seen why the one-eyed man was strong and deserved to be here; he just looked like someone with a high level.
"What the fuck?" Kayden received a deep cut from the scythe on his shoulder as his katana simply broke in two in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and got away from his opponent. His weapon was of a high level and represented the pinnacle of the mage realm, and yet it was cut in two like butter. It was similar to when he tried to defend himself using a bubble and the scythe went through it easily.
BOOM! Lightning struck right where the one-eyed man was, preventing him from running to Kayden. This would have to be a fight won through attrition and brute force. Fortunately, Kayden had this ability, even more so when seeing how his opponent depended on physical attacks.
SWISH! An aura cut made only of mana went toward the one-eyed man and prevented him from reaching Kayden. The speed of the attack was too great and he had to stop to dodge it. Unfortunately, this resulted in him not being able to catch up to Kayden.
BOOOM! Another lightning struck, preventing its movement. The one-eyed man was not stupid and knew that Kayden was guiding him to a planned location, but unfortunately, he could not fight against it. He could back down, only his ego prevented him from doing so.
SWISH! BOOM! Time started to pass slowly, the other groups were also fighting. The general idea was to ambush Kayden and the strongest first, but they ended up getting tangled up in a fight along the way.
"Finally," Kayden managed to change enough mana to lightning elemental mana. It took a little longer than he expected. With that, it was just a few more attacks to put the one-eyed one in the right place and...
BOOOOOOOOOOM! A bolt of lightning several times stronger and faster than the others fell on the one-eyed man. He had no way to dodge as he would be hit by two aura attacks coming from different directions. This whole moment he thought Kayden might just throw one and it cost him the match.
It was a peculiar situation, Kayden turned around and saw Locke fighting only Anabela. The boy was a complete wreck and yet he hadn’t given up. The other mage had already been eliminated, without any honor. Kayden sneaked up on the girl and, at an opportune moment when she was focused on defending herself from Locke, launched an aura attack that almost took her out of the match.
Anabela, holding the top 1 of the year, was not there by chance. A bubble appeared around her instantly as she sensed danger, but unfortunately, it was broken and the next attack disqualified her from the arena.
Turning around, Kayden and Locke realized that there were only a few people left fighting around, including them. With around 10 people left, this meant they had already secured the seed, unlike Anabela and Anthony.
It was the right decision to attack Kayden to try and secure the top spots, but they didn’t consider that the boy could easily deal with them. Locke, who was never a big standout, showed absurd strength that didn’t match his public profile.
What followed was just Locke and Kayden removing their opponents from the arena as if they were nothing more than vermin. The strongest had already left and there was nothing they could do to hold the duo back. In just a few minutes, there were only the two of them left in the bubble.

"Unfortunately, I am out of mana to continue this fight. I give up," said Locke, aware that even if he had mana, he would have been destroyed. Furthermore, he had several injuries of different degrees. Therefore, he opted for a less humiliating end, and Kayden was crowned champion of the month.
In the following minutes, everyone received the position on their cell phones and was informed that the seed would be delivered to their rooms within 3 days. Those above the top ten received the points immediately.
With this seed, Kayden could climb the ranks and, using the fourth realm seed he received from Azir, reach the peak of the eighth level within a few months. From this perspective, her only need was to think about concepts; Cultivating became secondary and would be done easily, this was something that Bolt had already explained a while ago.
