"Ladies and Gentlemen…"
The suspense was created for the unknowing…While the ones who knew the identity of the figure that had appeared were all shocked to their core.
Alan's jaw fell to the ground, Richard opened his eyes wide and so did the Elders.
"What?!"
Hugo Wellington roared. Wellington's room was also chaotic. Only James and Sabrina were calm. Sabrina wasn't aware of the identity of the Old man whilst Jame's nature was calm and collected.
"...So he was alive eh?"
Ragnar commented from his throne, which oversaw the entire Colosseum.
"I present to you!"
Lucas dropped his wine glass, His face full of shock His father and the other members of the Hiddleston family paid attention to him.
"The one and only!"
Harrison's voice echoed throughout the Colosseum…as the entire world's attention was focused on the man that entered the Colosseum.
"Sword Saint Arken! The Demon Slayer!"
…
…
…
…
…
There was silence. The children wondered who he was, some had heard stories about him…The old were shocked to their core because they had witnessed his legacy…Only the current young were confused.
"That legendary awakened?"
"The one from the Golden Trio?"
"Isn't he that myth? That demon killer?"
They all questioned, the ones who knew were too shocked to even utter words…The children were just confused, they had come here to see fights after all! Who was this old man?
"What the fuck is he doing there?!"
Alexander shouted from the stands, Olivia, who was with him was also speechless.
Why did their Master make an appearance?
"It seems people have forgotten his existence. Master Arken, please remind them!"
Harrison handed the reins over to Arken, who simply looked annoyed he had to deal with this farce…Well. What could he do?
He couldn't stay hidden for that long…he had to make an appearance, to bolster Humanity, who had thought only the Sage remained of the Golden Trio.
Oliver had also been pestering them about this as well…
"Hm…Is this enough?"
He spoke right into the microphone, and then he released his mana.
A deafening pressure assaulted the colosseum, children, adults, and even the strongest awakened here could feel it. It could kill all spectators in this Colosseum if it wanted to…Heck, even major guilds would be wiped out of existence had Arken wanted…
All of this…was just from his mana pressure. He wasn't even using his aura.
"THE SWORD SAINT IS ALIVE!"
That was all that was needed, the old awakened and citizens now remembered the stories, the myths, the legendary epics of the DEMON SLAYER!
The one who even the demons feared, the one who almost split Terra Damnum in half! The one who was one of the heroes of the Japan Incident!
The berserker!
The Bloody Slaughterer!
The Demon Slayer!
Now they know! Their Legend was back! One on the same level as Hiroto Mitsuki, the spear saint, and Oliver Olsfer, the Sage!
"SWORD SAINT!"
"SWORD SAINT!"
"SWORD SAINT!"
"SWORD SAINT!"
The roars shook the entire Colosseum! The people, now aware of his identity cheered until their throats became sore, they saw their grandparents and parents doing it, so why shouldn't they!?
"SWORD SAINT!"
"SWORD SAINT!"
"Well…that was a great introduction."
Harrison commented from the skies, the pressure was still there, and he knew it would be hard for him to fight it off if Sir Arken truly wanted to kill.
Thankfully, he was just spreading his pressure around for fun.
"So I'm still remembered eh?"
Arken laughed, enjoying the applause.
"So Arken finally appears…"
Mitsuki Ai, Hiroto's wife and the Principal of Hero Academy said.
"Yes, it was about time. How is your academy going?"
Oliver, who was beside her, asked.
They were good friends, even though they were the principals of Shield and Hero Academy, rank 1 and 3.
"It's going great, how is Alan?"
She asked him. She was curious about the successor of her late husband's weapon.
"Great. He's worthy of the Ame-No-Sakahoko."
"That's wonderful."
That was all she needed to hear.
"And now…the true event begins."
Oliver said, paying close attention to the stage.
[In the Behemoth Guild Exclusive Room.]
"Go."
Logan Fornum, the guild master of Behemoth Guild, and Ezra's grandfather said.
"Yes."
Ezra left the room. Henry was silent, still staring at the Figure of the Sword Saint.
"To think that bastard would want to fight Ezra for fun…kukuku…"
He paid little attention to his Grandfather's mutterings…
However, he should have.
Arken, when he saw that there would be no choice left but to appear in the World once again thought…why not right the legend?
So he did, he asked and it happened.
Although Ezra didn't want to…because it was Arken, he also wanted to know more about the Sword Saint's techniques, he also had his Grandfather pressuring him to fight him to steal the Sword Saint's martial art.
Arken just wanted to test this generation.
"...good luck."
Henry wished his elder brother good luck. Praying that he didn't get demolished at least.
Arken was SSS ranked…Ezra was only A+. He had a hard time advancing to S-rank, there was some sort of barrier in the way, a wall he had to overcome.
He was hoping that maybe he would gain enlightenment through this. Arken approached them for it…he should at least benefit from it.
"And now…It's time for the special Event!"
Harrison took the reins once again, his voice reverberated throughout the Colosseum.
"A genius of the Golden Generation, And a genius of our, my generation…"
The people listened to his words with great focus.
"Everyone, welcome the Genius Hunter, the greatest of this generation, the one and only…
COPYCAT, EZRA FORNUM."
A storm engulfed the Colosseum, the spectators were thrown aback by the winds!
Ezra appeared, his wind covered his lower half in the form of a tornado.
Boisterous cheers filled the Colosseum as Ezra made his fierce entrance.
"That's right folks! The special event is a battle of old against new. A battle between the legend of this generation and a legend of the previous Generation!
??????? ????????????!
VERSUS
?????????? ????????????."
He announced, and the Colosseum lit up.
"Yeah!"
"WOOO!"
Who would not be excited? A legend, a myth of old had returned and what did he do after returning?
A fight! He challenged a genius everyone knew of to a fight!
Ezra forum, the one who defeated multiple geniuses, one of them being Alan Peccator.
The audience stared at the two with rapt attention, almost salivating at the thought of the show about to happen! Who would not?! This was the damn man who had almost split Terra Damnum, an entire CONTINENT! Against the man who stepped on the hopes of multiple geniuses!
Who would not be excited?
"But…Of course, Sir Arken will be limited, He is an SSS rank awakened after all, whilst Ezra is only A+ which is an unbelievable achievement for his age. Sir Arken wi-"
"No."
Ezra interrupted Harrison. The entire world looked at him with confusion.
Could it be?
"Sword Saint, Please do not hold back in this duel."
He addressed Arken and bowed down. Showing utmost respect.
Arken looked at him with newfound respect and said.
"Do you really want to?"
He asked. Would this young man really prefer he went all out?
Arken used |Eyes of a Saint| On Ezra to check his information.

'So it was true… He can copy Martial arts.'
Thought Arken as he examined Ezra with the eyes of a Saint.
(*= The Explanation isn't as detailed because it isn't |DRAGON EYES|. That's why there isn't a Description. It's a 'different' skill. I don't want any more comments complaining about it again.]
'But what use is it when it's so varied?'
Arken still didn't believe his talent was useful. He was the only one in the world who didn't.
Because…in his eyes, what use was a talent that would allow you to accumulate a large number of martial arts you haven't even mastered? Arts you don't know the perfect use of?
"Yes."
Ezra replied firmly.
"What a twist! Ezra fornum actually wants to fight on equal terms!"
Harrison said, and the audience was shocked. He would fight the sword, Saint, an SSS-ranked awakened…One of the SSS ranked awakened who could be counted on one's hand on equal terms.
What?
Arken, even though belittled Ezra's talent, respected his resolve.
"Fine!"
He laughed boisterously, and equipped his massive berserker sword!
"Come!"
He taunted. Excited to finally fight someone considered a God Of war
"The match has begun!" Harrison announced the start of the match, and the entire world grasped their seats in anticipation!
Ezra equipped an ornate spear. It was different from his usual weapon of a Sword. Ezra used a Sword because it was the most versatile, and was able to fit with a large variety of techniques, so why was he using a spear all of a sudden? Who knows?! The match had begun!
"With Pleasure."
Ezra charged forward with his spear!
