All what happened on the stage was a shock to everyone who knew anything about Miss Snowfall.
She was the one of those persons who mostly remained reclusive and did not care much about anything that happened around her.
Her taking in a personal disciple was something which was surely to cause a stir in peaceful waters.
Amden had been watching everything with interest. He did not know much about Miss. Snowfall but the slap which Iris had dealt to Tim had made it obvious that she was a powerful and a talented individual.
And now he was curious if Iris could go toe to toe with Lucas and Luna. He was now really anticipating for the match between them.
The instructor again appeared in mid air as he announced, "Now we will conduct the final round of the entrance test."
"Since we again have three candidates i.e. an odd number, we will use the same rule as previous time," he continued. "But the candidate who has already got an exemption will not be eligible for any further exemption and thus must fight."
"The remaining two," he said gazing towards Lucas and Iris, "choose your tokens."
Luna did not get an exemption as she had gotten one in the previous round and thus, she was the one confirmed to fight in this round.
Between Lucas and Iris, Lucas got the star token which meant that Iris would be facing Luna.
Luna and Iris were allowed rest of an hour to recover themselves.
While they were resting, the VIP seatings in the arena was in chaos. The chaos was about Miss Skyfall taking in a disciple.
25 years earlier she had suddenly appeared and had been appointed as a grand elder of the Star Sky Academy. No one knew about her origins, which place or which family she belonged. If there was some powerful faction behind her. There was no information about her. Although no one knew her real strength, everyone was sure of one thing that she was strong, very strong.

After the hour of the rest, the duel finally started. Luna vs Iris Lopez. Both of them had the same calm expression on their faces and both of them knew that was going to be a tough battle.
Luna had retrieved a sword. Mind you for the whole competition she had not used any weapon. And Iris too had retrieved a sword. Till now she had also not used any weapon.
Both of their sword was nothing special and was of common grade.
And then they moved. They were fast and none of them used even a bit of spiritual energy.
Their sword clashed. No one between the two gained any advantage.
And then came a flurry of movements and sound of sword clashing against sword echoed in the entire arena. It was like rhythm was being followed in their battle and the sound of the sword clashing was music to ears.
The movements continued and their swords kept clashing. It was a battle of pure physical power without any spiritual energy but was still more exhilarating than any other previous battle.
Even members of the older generation who had already plateaued in their power were stunned seeing their control and skills of the two ladies with the sword.
The clash of sword skills continued for few minutes. Then with a loud clang, both of them were pushed apart and now they stood few metres apart facing each other.
It was finally time for their second phase of battle. The crowd was cheering loudly and they were thrilled. A spectacular battle it had been.
This time Iris was the first to move. She stepped forward and a pillar of ice rose under her feet and she soared in the sky using the pillar. With the pillar as the centre, branches of ice started to emerge and a majestic square shaped cage was formed.
And Luna had been trapped inside the cage with Iris facing her from a height.
The audience watched everything happening in a stunned silence.
Even the elites had been awed and shocked at this majestic structure. The control and amount of spiritual energy needed to build something like this was insane.
The expression on Luna was as calm as water. She was still standing their patiently. She knew that the real attack was yet to come.
Amden in his room had his eyes squinted. He knew very clear that this level of technique was not something of this planet.
'Who is she?', he wondered inwardly?
Similar thoughts were going in the mind of Tamaya and Miss Snowfall.
Meanwhile, Iris prepared for her attack.
