The moment stretched in the arena as Rai's words hung heavy in the air. A shiver passed through the crowd, their collective breath held as they awaited the next move. The oppressive aura Rai exuded had paralyzed Class 8-C, including Toru, who found himself frozen under the weight of Rai's cold gaze.

"Move! " Toru barked at his team, desperation lacing his voice. But even as his words reached their ears, none of his comrades dared take the first step. The power Rai displayed wasn't something they were trained to face-it was the kind of strength that defied logic, the kind whispered about in the deepest rumors of the academy.
Then, like a switch flipping, Rai moved again. This time, it was as though the air itself sliced with his motion. Another one of Toru's top lieutenants lunged at him, desperation overtaking fear, aiming to land a blow on Rai's undefended side.
Rai's hand shot out, catching the punch effortlessly. His grip tightened, and the sound of bones cracking echoed through the arena. A scream erupted from the student, but Rai's face remained impassive, void of emotion as he flung the attacker aside like a discarded toy.

The audience gasped, the silence in the stands giving way to murmurs. It was clear now: Rai wasn't just a bystander or a student trying to climb the ranks. He was something far more dangerous. And in this moment, he had chosen to unleash it.
"Stop him! " Toru's voice cracked with desperation. His bravado was completely gone, replaced by the stark realization that the balance of this fight had shifted dramatically.
The remaining students from Class 8-C hesitated, unsure whether to follow Toru's command or flee from Rai's overwhelming presence. But as they weighed their options, Rai didn't wait for them to decide.
With a quick step forward, he vanished from sight, reappearing in front of two more 8-C students. In a blur of motion, Rai swept through them, sending one crashing to the ground while the other stumbled backward, barely conscious. His movements were almost surgical-precise, calculated, and devastating.
