Start with absorbing talents

As Punnu waited for his turn in the fighting test, he observed the other students battling on the stage. Each one displayed impressive skills and unique abilities, but none of them had the diversity of powers that Punnu possessed. He knew that he had to be strategic in his approach.

The stage was filled with tension as fighters demonstrated their abilities, and Punnu could feel the energy in the air. The arena had traces of blood from previous battles, a testament to the intensity of the fights. Punnu knew that his own battle would be challenging, and he had to be prepared.

The anticipation grew as the announcer revealed the next fight. The crowd buzzed with excitement, knowing that this battle would be one of the most intense and thrilling of the day.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer's voice boomed, "please welcome Glacia from the illustrious Frost family, known for their exceptional ice magic abilities!"

As Glacia stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. She was from a royal background, and her family was considered the strongest among the royal families. Glacia's reputation as a powerful ice magic user preceded her, and everyone in the audience knew that her opponent was in for a tough fight.

"Glacia is incredibly strong," one spectator murmured. "Her ice magic is unrivaled. Her opponent doesn't stand a chance."

"Whoever is fighting her is really unlucky," another added.

Punnu listened to the crowd's reaction, feeling a knot of anxiety forming in his stomach. He knew that Glacia was a formidable opponent, but he had to stay focused and use his abilities wisely.

"And now," the announcer continued, "her opponent... the masked god!"

Punnu's heart skipped a beat as he realized that he was Glacia's opponent. The crowd fell into a hushed whisper, curious about the identity of the masked god. Punnu took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, his mask securely in place.

"Who is he?" one spectator asked.

"Why is he wearing a mask?" another wondered.

"What is his identity?" a third questioned.

Punnu could feel the weight of their curiosity and skepticism, but he knew that he had to focus on the battle ahead. He stood across from Glacia, who regarded him with a mixture of curiosity and determination.

"May the best fighter win," Glacia said, her voice cool and composed.

Punnu nodded, his resolve steeling. He knew that this fight would be challenging, but he was ready to give it his all.

The announcer signaled the start of the match, and the crowd held its breath in anticipation. Punnu and Glacia prepared to face off in a battle that would test their abilities to the limit.
