Before Juniper steps into the arena, Ezra suddenly collapsed.

Ace ran towards Ezra, and quickly picked her up.

Ace: Ezra, are you okay?!

Juniper: Don't worry, she just used a lot of mana in her last move. Head over to the infirmary and have her treated.

Ace: Got it!

Ace ran towards the infirmary at full speed.

Juniper: Now then...

Juniper steps into the arena where her opponent, Zero, is already waiting.

Zero: It's been a long time since I get to fight you, Juniper.

Juniper: I couldn't believe myself that you are still alive. Even though, a thousand years has passed.

Zero: The deal is not over yet.

***
Jack: Is everyone ready?! The second round of today's battle at block B is about to start!

3...

2..

1.

Start!

Zero cupped her hands and waited for Juniper to attack first.

Juniper did the same thing. And the result, is that both of them are just standing and doing nothing.

Jack: What's this? Looks like both of them are just staring at each other?

***

Ace sucessfully got Ezra to the infirmary, and is watching the battle at the monitor.

Ace: What are they doing?

***

Suddenly, the arena was shattered.

And both of them are still staring at each other.

Jack: What is going on!? The arena was shattered but still they are doing nothing?!

***

Ace: They aren't just doing nothing... they are fighting mentally!

***

Zero: Looks like you've gotten sloppy..

Juniper: I could say the same thing to you.

They suddenly disappeared.

Jack: They're gone?!

All of the sudden, both of them appeared and their fist clashed at the center of the arena. Both of their blows are so strong that it created a shockwave.

The whole area surrounding the arena was affected.

Both of the contenders are so strong that they decided to create a forcefield around the arena to prevent further destruction.

***

Juniper strikes a punch at Zero, but her attack was countered with a kick.

Both of them are moving too fast and both of their attacks are so strong.

Juniper: Bahamut Blow!

Juniper's fist is covered with a beast's aura.

Zero dodges every attack.

Zero: My turn.

Zero grabbed Juniper's hand and flipped her over. When she is upside down, Zero attacked her with a strong kick.

Juniper managed to block the attack.

Juniper grabbed Zero's foot and slammed her to the ground. Zero managed to stop the slam by placing her hand on the ground when she was slammed.

***

Ace: This is ridiculous... every attack is being countered. At this rate, the fight is not going to end so soon.

***

Juniper strikes a punch at Zero, but it was blocked by her kick.

Every attack is creating shockwaves.

Juniper: One of us is fated to be defeated.

Zero: That is indeed true.

Juniper released her power which created a black aura around her. While Zero has a white aura surrounding her.

The battle is just beginning.

To be continued...
