Academy War God: Unrivalled Magic

"Not every battle is to prove yourself.

Sometimes it's just... a deduction of destiny."

- Hill Lowe [Opening - Arrival of Canglan's Third Seat]

"You are Yomi Kuro?"

The boy with a massive sealed greatsword and silver shoulder armor stood at the gates of Higashigumo Academy.

With razor-sharp golden eyes and an aura of unquestionable dominance, he resembled a silent knight from a war-torn era.

"Hill Lowe. Third seat of Canglan Academy," he said.

"I'm not here to challenge you..."

His gaze fixed on Yomi.

"I'm here to judge you."

"Act One - Oath of the Sealed Sword × Forbidden Art vs. Forbidden Art"]

Inside the Dragonfang Arena, the air became almost unbreathable.

Hill planted his sword into the ground, his voice cold and firm:

"The deck of cards inside you... shouldn't exist."

"The Queen's whisper is only a prelude. But the king's aura within you - I witnessed it once during the collapse of the Forbidden Arts four years ago."

Yomi's expression sharpened:

"You know about the King?"

"I was the last heir of the Sealed Sword Bureau.

Our mission: to seal all powers that should not be."

- As his words fell, the Sealed Sword Casket unlocked and seven layers of sigils shattered!

"Sevenfold Judgement: Forbidden Sword Tribunal" - Activated!

"Act Two - King's Aura × Queen's Whisper

Yomi summoned his Black Jack card and combined it with the psychic structure of the Queen card, intending to confuse Hill with illusion magic.

But- "Tricks of the low kind."

With a casual swing, Hill sliced through space itself.

Yomi leaned back to dodge, but in the next instant, his entire body shook violently - the Queen's Whisper flared uncontrollably, even triggering the King's Aura!

The illusions spiraled into chaos:

Time distortion, overlapping hallucinations, and a phantom platinum throne appeared in the center of Dragonfang Arena.

Hill's expression changed: "You haven't even mastered the queen... and the king is already responding..." Are you the king's candidate?

[Act Three - Spade Knight vs. Sealed Knight]

Yomi briefly lost control and slipped into a blank persona state.

His attacks became brutally precise, unleashing a flurry of "Shadow Clone: Sevenfold Slash" and a Black Jack Rapid Fire Array, catching Hill off guard.

Just as he was about to fall completely into illusion - "Yomi!"

Sayo Ohtori's voice cut through the Queen's Whisper, shattering the Phantom Veil!

Yomi stopped, panting, sweat dripping down:

"I... almost lost myself again."

Hill sheathed his sword, his eyes cold but solemn: "You truly have a potential to rival the King.

But this... is only the beginning of disaster."

[Epilogue - Funke's Secret]

After the game, Funke approached Yomi.

"You felt it, didn't you? The king's whisper."

He tossed a spinning magic cube that slowly spun its glowing corners.

"The queen is only the gateway."

"The real trump card sleeps deep inside your body.

It's not just about controlling the queen anymore.

You have to decide if you want to awaken the king."

Yomi was silent for a moment:

"The king... is me?"

Funke didn't answer.

He just murmured:

"If you fail - we all die."

[Hospital Room - Tendo's Coma]

Kagurain Kureha sat quietly next to Tendo Kyoichi's hospital bed, watching his pale face.

"Senior... Yomi has already taken a path we can no longer see."

He whispered:

"If you don't wake up soon... even I might not be able to catch up with him."
