Chapter 11 - Ch-11 Clash of Titans

During the battleground of other students three students were brought to a special exibition match where they make them fight and choose which one will have a higher rank in their academy

A thunderous voice echoed through the futuristic dome-shaped arena:

"Let the exhibition match… BEGIN!"

Three figures stepped onto the shimmering battlefield as hundreds of drones floated above, recording and broadcasting the match across the globe. These weren't just students—they were future heroes, each representing a unique force.

Manish Kumar—golden-haired with matching golden eyes—twirled his yellow-tinted goggles and grinned. His black and yellow outfit glowed faintly under the lights."Hope you brought sunscreen, Rohan... things are about to get bright!"

Rohan Sharma, towering and built like a boulder, cracked his knuckles. His magma-infused veins pulsed through his red and charcoal combat suit."I didn't come to joke, Manish. I came to crush."

Lastly, walking slowly with hands in his pockets, was William Jackson—silver hair brushing his sharp jawline, black scarf fluttering slightly. Black-and-white street gear hugged his lean frame, and his dark goggles gleamed as he stepped up.He didn't say a word. He didn't need to.

Phase One: The Flare and the Flow

Manish burst forward, body gleaming like the sun. He transformed into pure light for a split second and reappeared mid-air. He raised his hand, forming a blinding javelin of light and hurled it at Rohan.

"Heads up, lava-boy!"

Rohan slammed his fist into the ground, releasing a surge of molten magma that formed a molten shield. The light javelin struck the shield, exploding in sparks.

"Predictable," Rohan muttered and stomped, causing fiery geysers to erupt beneath Manish.

Manish barely dodged, spinning through the air, firing light bullets in a radiant arc.

From the sidelines, William watched calmly. He raised his hand and summoned glowing, floating Tetris blocks in various shapes and colors, arranging them like a chessboard.

"They're playing checkers," he murmured. "Let me show you how to play chess."

With a flick, the blocks flew toward both of them like guided missiles. A purple L-block zipped toward Rohan, who melted it with magma. A blue Z-block twisted mid-air and knocked Manish off balance.

Phase Two: Heated Combat

Rohan charged at William, fists covered in lava. William dodged with matrix-like movement, letting his blocks take the blows.

"Nice power," William said, deflecting with a steel-gray T-block. "But raw heat isn't strategy."

Manish reappeared behind William. "Gotcha!"

A flash bomb of pure light detonated in William's face. But when the light faded, a shield-shaped block had protected him.

"You thought I didn't see that coming?"

He kicked Manish square in the stomach, sending him flying.

Rohan took advantage and hurled a massive lava boulder. William summoned a staircase of blocks, running up mid-air and jumping over the lava, flipping gracefully.

He summoned a massive orange line block and slammed it downward. It hit the ground, creating a shockwave that disrupted both opponents.

Phase Three: Aura Unleashed

The audience gasped as a shimmering glow surrounded all three.

Aura.

Manish's body pulsed with radiant gold. He sprinted forward, now moving almost faster than light, each punch leaving trails.

Rohan's lava turned brighter, denser, like a star ready to burst.

William's aura was crystalline white, extending into his blocks. Now they weren't just constructs—they were semi-sentient, reacting before he commanded.

A storm of light pillars erupted from Manish's fists. Rohan parried with magma arms, burning holes in the floor. William danced between them, launching wave after wave of transformed Tetris monsters—blocks with limbs and spinning blades.

The arena rumbled.

Final Phase: Strategic Overload

Rohan roared and charged his finishing move—"Molten Collapse!"

Manish flew high above, forming a massive light spear—"Photon Javelin MAX!"

But William was already setting up.

Ten blocks glowed around him.

"Final formation," he whispered.

The blocks formed a massive cube golem, radiating aura.

Both Manish and Rohan launched their attacks simultaneously—lava pillars and a light javelin aimed to crush William.

William's block golem intercepted. The cube exploded, countering both attacks with a brilliant flash of aura and color. A shockwave flattened the field.

When the dust cleared, William was standing. Manish was on one knee, panting. Rohan had collapsed, steam rising from his back.

The voice echoed again:"Match over. William Jackson is the winner!"

The crowd erupted.

Post-Match

Manish walked over, grinning. "That was wild. You're a damn robot, man."

William smirked. "I'm just good with patterns."

Rohan, catching his breath, added, "Good fight. Next time, I'll melt those blocks."

The three bumped fists. Despite the competition, there was mutual respect.

Behind the scenes, a council member watching the match on a screen muttered:"These three... they're going to reshape the future of W.
