Mazu fixed his blue open jacket around his muscular exposed torso, then placed his hands into the pockets of his black pants. His arms had two blue dragon tattoos on them, with another large dragon tattoo on his bare chest. His cold, expressionless eyes were fixed on Miranda. Nika could sense a hint of arrogance in him.

  The girls couldn’t take their eyes off the intimidating Mazu.

  Zalgo muttered under her breath. "This guy looks… scary.”

  Rachel seemed nervous, but also curious. "He’s definitely not someone to mess with.”

  Nika observed Mazu, assessing him. "He may be middle-aged, but he's much more powerful than most youngsters who are Void Mages. He's actually the oldest contestant among the fighters in the Coliseum, yet that didn't stop him from being in the top ten.”

  The girls kept their eyes on Mazu, clearly impressed.

  Alice couldn't help but admire Mazu. "Wow, he’s really that powerful?”

  Nika nodded, her expression both impressed and wary. "Yes, he’s a skilled fighter. Don’t let the age fool you. His combat prowess is top-tier.”

  The girls were amazed by Mazu, taking in his entire appearance.

  Zalgo couldn’t help but whisper in awe. "He’s... incredible.”

  Nika smirked slightly, keeping an eye on Mazu. "He’s not called the Dragon of the Deep for nothing. Mazu's ability to control water is unparalleled.”

  The girls became fixated on Mazu, their eyes locked on him.

  Rachel looked at Mazu with awe. "Water manipulation, huh? That’s insane.”

  Nika kept assessing Mazu. "Not just any water manipulation. Mazu’s control is on a whole new level. He can control even the smallest droplets. It’s almost...magical.”

  As the girls watched in anticipation, Marco's hand clenched into a fist, signaling the start of the match.

  "Let the battle…BEGIN!”

  As soon as Marco’s hand turned into a fist, Mazu and Miranda both instantly took their stances, Miranda’s stance a wide-legged and ready defensive one, and Mazu taking a more relaxed stand, hands in his pockets.

  The girls watched with bated breath as the fighters took their stances, the tension in the air palpable.

  Zalgo couldn't help but comment. "Man, both of them look ready to go.”

  Nika's eyes flickered between the two fighters, observing their every move. "This is it. The fight has officially begun.”

  The girls kept their eyes on the two fighters, their anticipation surging.

  Rachel leaned forward in her seat, her eyes not leaving the arena. "This is intense.”

  Nika kept her gaze fixed on Mazu and Miranda, watching their every move. "It's just getting started. These two are just feeling each other out right now.”

  The girls continued to watch Mazu and Miranda closely, the atmosphere in the arena electric.

  Zalgo was almost on the edge of her seat. "Damn, this is already so intense.”

  Nika kept her eyes locked on the fighters. "They’re both holding back for now. This is only the warm up.”

  Mazu suddenly smirked, still keeping his hands in his pockets. Miranda didn’t move, staying in her defensive stance.

  Nika raised an eyebrow at Mazu’s expression, sensing something coming. "Here it comes.”

  The girls watched Mazu intently, anticipating what would happen next.

  Zalgo was on the edge of her seat. "Oh boy, what’s he gonna do?”

  Mazu took a step forward, his smirk growing. Miranda still stood in her defensive stance, not moving an inch.

  Nika’s eyes never left Mazu, still anticipating his move. "He’s making the first move.”

  The girls kept their eyes on Mazu, watching him closely.

  Zalgo was practically holding her breath. "He’s really going at it, huh?”

  Mazu took another step forward, now within a few feet of Miranda. Miranda finally made a move, but it wasn’t an attack. Instead, she began to spin.

  Nika’s eyes flickered between Mazu and Miranda, noting the change in Miranda’s stance. "Now it’s started.”

  The girls watched Miranda, intrigued by her strange move.

  Zalgo was confused but intrigued. "What’s she doing?”

  As Miranda continued to spin, she spun faster and faster, becoming a human whirlwind.

  Nika’s eyes were fixed on Miranda, observing her speed and spin. "She’s creating a wind tunnel.”

  The girls watched in awe as Miranda turned herself into a spinning vortex.

  Zalgo was mesmerized. "Whoa...that’s awesome!”

  The whirlwind around Miranda became more and more intense, picking up leaves and dirt on the arena floor.

  Nika’s eyes couldn’t leave Miranda, still observing her move. "She’s really going for it.”

  The girls kept their eyes on Miranda, awed by her whirlwind move.

  Zalgo muttered, "Wow, that’s... something else.”

  As Miranda’s whirlwind became even more powerful, it started to lift herself off the ground.

  Nika kept watching Miranda closely, noting her rising height. "She’s flying.”

  The girls watched Miranda lift higher and higher, amazed by her whirlwind ability.

  Zalgo was blown away. "Oh. my. Goddess.”

  Miranda’s whirlwind continued to grow, lifting her to a remarkable height above the arena.

  Nika was still watching Miranda closely, impressed by her flying height. "This is insane.”

  The girls kept their eyes on Miranda, amazed by her incredible height.

  Zalgo was completely speechless. "I have no words.”

  Miranda continued to rise higher in the air, her whirlwind turning into a twister.

  Nika watched in awe as Miranda reached an astonishing height. "She’s really going for it.”

  The girls watched in disbelief, still not believing what they were witnessing.

  Zalgo just stared in silence, completely stunned.

  Miranda, now towering above the coliseum like a human tornado, looked majestic yet intimidating as Mazu was sucked into the vortex.

  As Mazu was pulled into the vortex, he seemed unaffected, still smiling cockily. However, Miranda suddenly stopped spinning, and Mazu was launched high into the air, caught off guard.

  Nika couldn’t believe her eyes, watching Mazu getting tossed. "He did not see that coming.”

  Mazu, caught off guard, was suddenly launched high into the air, much to his surprise.

  Zalgo’s eyes widened, watching Mazu get flung. "What! She just threw him!”

  As Mazu ascended high in the air, he let out a laugh, clearly impressed by Miranda's move.

  Nika couldn’t help but crack a smile, watching Mazu laugh. "He’s not easily fazed.”

  The girls kept their eyes on Mazu, finding his laugh oddly amusing in the midst of such intensity.

  Mazu reached the peak of his flight, still smiling confidently despite being caught off guard.

  Nika kept observing Mazu as he soared, impressed by his resilience. "He’s quite the resilient type.”

  Mazu suddenly stopped mid-air, as if frozen in time.

  Nika’s eyes widened, watching Mazu suspended in the air. "What the-?"

  The girls were equally surprised by Mazu's sudden halt, their eyes fixed on him. What exactly is he planning...?
