As night fell over Spadaria, the most magnificent magical arena in the Areala Universe started to shine with excitement. People from all over the universe crowded into its huge space to watch the final event of the Trials of Ascension. People all over the stadium were looking at Zara, who stood in the middle of the stadium. The remaining High Mages were gathered in the box high above, their attention focused on the arena below, where the trials were about to come to a head.
The magic in Zara's voice made it reverberate through the field. "Welcome to the Tournament of Power, the last test in the Ascension process." Here, our participants will be put to the test by fighting in a one-on-one match. The goal is to be one of the top 150, which means that only the smartest, toughest, and most skilled players will move on.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZQkgWWH9d

As the first one-on-one fight was about to start, the crowd cheered and the air was electric with excitement. Each duel showed how far the competitors had come. Their skills, which they had improved in earlier tests, were now put to the final test.
Battle Highlight: Eryx vs. Corin
The first fight that got a lot of attention was between Eryx, the respected former captain of the 2nd Squad, and Corin, a powerful sorcerer from Nebulon who was known for being able to control cosmic energies. The stadium was packed with fans as two powerhouses went up against each other.
As expected, Eryx controlled the elements with an unmatched level of skill. He called up a fierce windstorm with a wave of his hand, which pushed Corin's cosmic rockets back toward him. Corin didn't give up. He woven a weave of astral chains to try to bind Eryx, but they all disappeared when a wave of fire from the depths of Pyra hit them.
The High Mages were very interested and spoke highly of Eryx's strategic thought and ability to control many things at once. His win wasn't just a show of strength; it was a dance of elemental skill that put him among the top contenders.
Battle Highlight: Liora vs. Naxon
Liora, the former captain of the 4th Squad, was known for her power to connect with nature. She was fighting Naxon, a fighter from Gravitaria, who was good at controlling gravitational fields. Nature vs. Force: that was the fight that would test how much control and raw power could be used.
The first thing Liora did was call on the stadium's life force, which made vines and roots grow out of the ground and try to ensnare Naxon. But Naxon fought back with a gravity pulse that was meant to crush the life that Liora had called forth.
But Liora had a deep knowledge of how nature works. With a soft whisper, the vines got stronger, as tough as steel, and Naxon got caught in them, unable to get free. Liora won because she had a strong link with nature and knew how to use its hidden strengths in clever ways.
Battle Highlight: Vael vs. Redon
Redon, a fighter known for his lightning power, was put up against Vael, the respected former captain of the 1st Squad who was very fast and good with swords. During the fight, speed and raw power were shown in an exciting way.
Vael moved so quickly and smoothly that it looked like he was not even trying. He avoided lightning hits with ease. His sword was just an extension of his will as he closed the gap between him and Redon. Redon, on the other hand, charged the ground with electricity, making a tunnel of lightning that Vael had to get through to get to him.
In a moment that summed up the competition, Vael jumped over a lightning bolt and hit Redon with a devastating blow, showing not only how strong he was but also how well he could predict and counter his opponent's moves. The fact that Vael won showed how skilled and experienced the former Mage Squad Captains really are.
As the Tournament of Power went on, the stadium saw many fights, each one more intense and exciting than the last. People from all over the world fought to be one of the elite 150. The air was filled with magic, determination, and the spirit of competition. Toren, Syl, Ander, and Ria, who used to be captains of the Mage Squad, proved their strength by winning their respective fights. This showed not only how strong they were, but also how much experience they had and how smart they were at planning moves.
As the last duel ended, everyone in the magical stadium, which was now the place where fates were made, held their breath in expectation. The last 150 people, who were each a symbol of their planet's strength and hope, stood tall, having successfully finished the Trials of Ascension. They turned their faces toward the middle of the arena, where the High Mages had gathered again to talk to them. Their faces showed a mix of happiness, tiredness, and victory.
Zara, who was calm and commanding, spoke to the winners who had gathered. "You have shown yourselves to be not only strong, but also resilient, wise, and united," she said. Now is the time to choose who will lead the StarGuard in the future. Now, each High Mage will pick five vice-captains.
The choice process started with one High Mage after another stepping forward:

With the vice-captains selected, Zara addressed the remaining victors and the newly appointed vice-captains, her voice carrying the weight of the momentous occasion. "The Trials of Ascension have revealed the very best among us, those who will lead and those who will stand beside them as pillars of strength," she began, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the chosen 150. "Tonight marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Areala Universe, one that each of you will help write with your courage, wisdom, and unity."
The stadium, filled with a hushed reverence, listened intently as Zara continued, "The High Mages will convene with their vice-captains overnight to deliberate and select the members who will form the core of their respective vice-captains' squads. It is a task we do not take lightly, for the bonds forged here will be the bedrock upon which the StarGuard will stand."
The announcement signified not just the end of the Trials of Ascension but also the dawn of a new era for the StarGuard and the universe it swore to protect. The participants, now bound by their shared trials and triumphs, looked on with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation. The night air was electric with potential, with every star above seemingly bearing witness to the birth of a new force of guardians.
As the crowd began to disperse, the chosen 150, surrounded by an aura of potential and promise, remained, their hearts alight with the prospect of what was to come. They were not just witnesses to history; they were now its makers.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VKosow4r6
