"Ooooooooooooooh!!"
Seeing this fierce fight, the emotions of all the spectators ignited. The cheers sounded very loud.
Even the two commentators were also excited amidst the waves of cheers that echoed in Sirius Dome.
“Guests! Today, before our own eyes, has been present the fiercest confrontation since the Phoenix Festa began this season! A dazzling sword dance, as well as dagger techniques that have never appeared in the history of the Festa, this is truly the most exciting final round ever!”
“It's true. Whether it's Ryan's dagger-sharp game or the Amagiri family's Sword Technique, both are played at very high levels. It's a very interesting match. If you can, I would love to encourage both participants.!”
“I'm curious, who will win the Phoenix Festa this time?”
“Both sides are equally strong and attractive. For me, it doesn't matter who wins or loses at the moment. They both have played a really great fight.”
The audience thought the same. It doesn't matter who wins or loses this game. Whoever loses, the audience will still encourage him because it has presented a very exciting and interesting spectacle.
The feud between Ryan and Ayato made their comrades, Cecily Wong and I become neglected.
As if understanding each other, Cecily Wong and I stopped their confrontation and both looked at the fierce fight of Ryan and Ayato with their hearts pounding vigorously.
Meanwhile, Ryan began to enjoy this fight. At first, he felt aggrieved by the God Creator Reincarnation Room over the many limitations given. Ryan should be able to defeat Ayato without using Mystic Eye of Death Perception and Stigma.
Though, Ayato who had released all the seals had surpassed Ryan in terms of pure power. However, over time, Ryan began to feel challenged. A grinning smile began to be imprinted on his face.
‘In strength, I lost far away from him. But with speed, I won't lose!’
With such thoughts in mind, Ryan planned to utilize his speed to defeat Ayato. But, not the speed of movement that Ryan will use, but the speed of attack.
The reason was simple, as Ayato's speed of motion was almost equivalent to Ryan's speed. Coupled with a terrifying instinct, Ayato could react in any surprise attack of Ryan.
Therefore, Ryan could only risk everything to attack.
‘To be able to defeat him, I have to attack him constantly. I should be able to make Ayato only be able to fend off my attacks and not be able to strike me back!’
‘To be able to do all that, I should be able to attack Ayato quickly!’
With such thoughts in mind, Ryan continued to shout in his mind while launching a quick attack and smiling like a maniac.
‘Quick!’
‘More fast!’
‘More Fast Again!’
‘I want faster!’
With such an obsession, Ryan continued to use his dagger.
‘All I have now ..’
‘All I have learned now ..’
‘Will I use all that in this one attack!’
In the next moment, countless flashes of dagger light fused into one.
"Flashing Seath: Seven Nights (Senses: Shichiya)!"
The pure white dagger in Ryan's hand lit up brightly and shot forward like a laser beam through space.
The dagger carried a feeling of lightness, coldness, and also sharpness.
In front of this dagger light, Ayato's eyes flickered. An extremely powerful prana suddenly exploded from his body, giving rise to an intense storm of starlight particles.
Immediately, Ayato swung Ser-Veresta horizontally like a crescent moon.
This was one of the Amagiri Shinmeiryuu Sword Techniques designed to cut opponents endlessly on the battlefield, and its name was …
"Upper Level Shinmeiryuu Amagiri: Shurazuki!"
On one side was a cold laser light, while on the other was an eclipse-sealed crescent moon arc.
Ryan and Ayato passed each other while dropping the ultimate attack on their bodies at the same time.
Slash
The sound of slashes and stabs of the two Orga Lux merged into one and created a sharp sound that echoed throughout the Sirius Dome.
Ryan and Ayato's action invites a very deep silence in the stadium, as if all the cheers were just a dream.
Right now, the eyes of all the spectators were fixed on the arena that was in the middle of the stadium. Their faces showed tension.
Even Cecily Wong and I rounded their eyes and stared straight ahead.
There, Ryan and Ayato stood their backs to each other while maintaining an attacking posture. Their heads were both lowered, so no one could see Ryan and Ayato's expressions.
Under such circumstances, indescribable silence had pervaded the entire arena, causing tension to begin to seep in.
Until finally, one of the spectators involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
Glupe
The sound of swallowing is very light. However, the silence that rippled in the stadium, causing such a small sound was very ear-piercing.
Simultaneously with such a sound, the two figures facing each other above the arena finally moved.
Tees Tees Tees
The sound of blood dripping sounded small in the arena.
Everyone was astonished, seeing that Ryan's chest had a considerable slash wound. The pink uniform he wore, now became a deep red.
Weengs
Slowly, the pain began to hit his mind, and made Ryan kneel on one leg. His face looked very pale, his breathing was also wheezing.
This tragic situation made Cecily Wong's skin tone pale.
While Ayato, without looking back, seemed to know what happened to Ryan. With a helpless tone, Ayato said, "You're really crazy."
The reason Ayato said this, was because the target of Ser-Veresta's slash was Ryan's school badge. So it should be very unlikely that Ryan would suffer such a heavy injury.
However, Ryan has guessed the target of Ayato's attack. So, when Ser-Veresta is about to touch his school badge, Ryan instantly sacrifices his body to protect his school badge.
This was something Ayato had never thought of.
"It's just a game. You're too serious."
Ayato then smiled wryly and said with great admiration in her voice. "But, your determination .. I accept it."
At least, on the final strike, Ryan's determination far exceeded Ayato's.
Ryan was determined to win the game to the point of willingly sacrificing his own body to achieve victory.
Obviously, this difference of determination has been decisive in this match.
Krataks
A sudden cracking sound rang out from Ayato's body. It was the sound of the school badge cracking being cut very neatly.
Ayato's school badge fell to the ground and let out a sharp sound. Soon after, the sound of a mechanical announcement sounded.
"Amagiri Ayato, the school badge is broken."
After the sound of the announcement rang out, the spectators were still sitting quietly in its place.
Only Ryan, who was still breathing heavily, with his last strength, stood up while pointing at the Seraph that had been off towards me and said in a low voice, "Hey, are you planning to continue competing?"
I reacted to this question and looked at Ayato who was smiling widely. After a moment of silence, he lost interest and replied emotionlessly, "I gave up."
Those two words clearly echoed above the arena.
After a while, a mechanical sound was heard again.
"My Sasamiya, choose to give up."
"Game over. The winner, Ryan Herlambang × Cecily Wong."
As the mechanical sound echoed throughout the stadium, all the spectators immediately stood up and clapped.
Plaque Plaque Plaque Plaque
Various compliments were thrown by the audience, making the stadium very boisterous.
"Finally ... we have finally got the winner! The 24th Phoenix Festa champion is Ryan Herlambang and Cecily Wong from the Jie Long Seventh Institute!”
The commentator's voice instantly mixed with cheers and applause, making the atmosphere even more lively.
That way, the Phoenix Festa this season has been declared over.
"Haah~" Ryan sat on the ground while taking a deep breath. At the same time, the sound of system notifications started to sound in his ears.
Ding

This series of notifications also signified that the 3rd Main Mission had also been completed, where Ryan had to accumulate 20,000 points.
Meanwhile, Ryan's victory over the Phoenix Festa was the perfect finish of the 1st Main Mission, where the Mission required Ryan to be able to win at least the quarter-finals in the Festa.
Thinking of this, Ryan laughed and immediately stood up. He then walked towards Cecily with a smile.
~***~
"Haah~"
In the VIP lounge of Sirius Dome belonging to Queenvail Princess Academy, Sylvia who was watching the final round finally felt relieved after Ryan's victory was announced.
If others knew that Sylvia had come to watch this Final match, then people would be shocked.
Although Sirius Dome has a VIP lounge for good school, Sylvia rarely uses it. He will only come to Sirius Dome during the opening of the Festa and Round of 32 only, which does require the presence of all the Chairman of OSIS.
Not because Sylvia was not interested, but as a world-famous Diva, Sylvia was often busy and did not have time to watch the game.
It's just that, today Sylvia specifically took the time to watch the final.
The reason was not only related to Ursula, but also wanted to encourage Ryan.
Above the arena, Cecily Wong rubbed Ryan's head while putting her arm around Ryan's neck. This made the severely injured Ryan grimace in pain.
Looking at all that, Sylvia smiled and said, "Congratulations on your victory, Ryan …"
