nShizuku didn’t care anymore and used her magic indiscriminately, attacking Tsukasa from a distance!
nShizuku had given up, attacking Tsukasa from a close distance, and this time, she was going to defeat him from long-range!
nEven if the field was covered in vapor, Tsukasa could see everything with his sense of smell. His sense of smell had already detected everything, and he didn’t even need to use his magic to dodge Shizuku’s magic.
nWhether it was a pillar of ice, multiple water spikes, or any other attacks created with Shizuku’s water manipulation moved together and attacked him simultaneously.
nHowever, Tsukasa could easily dodge all of them easily without even using his magic.
nWhile the attack on Shizuku was amazing and came in many different sizes, the speed was relatively fast, but none of them could reach the speed of a bullet.
nEven if they reached the speed of the bullet, with his sense of smell, Tsukasa could read the intent of Shizuku where she was going to attack him.
nAside from tracking someone or something, Tsukasa could also use his supernatural sense of smell to perceive things outside the normal range of perception, like other creatures’ intentions, feelings, and thoughts. However, that wasn’t the end since he could also use it to predict others’ future movements, actions, and intentions merely through scent.
nEven if Tsukasa couldn’t see anything, Shizuku was just like an open book in front of him.
n‘Why? Why? Why?’
nShizuku kept attacking. However, none of her attacks were able to reach Tsukasa!
nWhile the audience couldn’t see anything because of the vapor, they could see that the battle between Tsukasa and Shizuku was so intense that it made their heart tremble every time they heard a loud booming noise that came from Shizuku’s attack.
n‘It’s not good…’
nEven if Ikki couldn’t see what had happened, he could tell that Shizuku was flustered.
n‘If this continues…’
nIkki let out a sigh and shook his head. He had already expected this result. However, similar to how Shizuku believed in him, he also wanted to believe in her. He clenched his fists as he kept watching this match.
nTsukasa let out a sigh and felt that it started to get painful, so he decided to end this.
nShizuku kept attacking Tsukasa from a distance, but suddenly something constricted and pulled her two legs!
n‘When?!’
nShizuku was dumbfounded and saw a chain had wrapped around her legs, and she was pulled to the sky at a speed that she couldn’t react!
nWhile everyone kept watching the match solemnly, they suddenly saw Shizuku’s figure, who seemed to be moving in a parabola trajectory before she disappeared and another booming sound was heard.
n“Kagh!”
nAfter Shizuku’s legs were wrapped in Tsukasa’s chain, she was pulled and slammed into the concrete ground by Tsukasa!
nShizuku felt her entire body was in pain, and some of her bones were broken, but she could still continue to fight. However, before she could recover, she saw a figure that suddenly appeared before her and held a sickle with his left hand.
nWhen Shizuku was about to be defeated, she realized what kind of weapon Tsukasa had used.
nKusarigama.
nIt is a traditional Japanese weapon that consists of a kama (the Japanese sickle) on a metal chain with a heavy iron weight at the end.
nIt was her first time for someone to use this weapon, and she knew that she was about to be defeated.
nHowever…
n‘I don’t want to lose!’
nBefore Tsukasa’s sickle was about to end Shizuku, she howled and used all of her power to create this attack!
nTsukasa slashed Shizuku’s neck with his sickle in illusionary form and made her pass out, but he knew that he was too late since he had let her use all of her magic power to create this attack.
n“Now, what to do…?”
nWhile inside the vapor, Tsukasa could see the surrounding area turned darker, and his surroundings were devoid of voice.
nTsukasa’s magic power was already depleted, and there wasn’t enough magic power to absorb around his surrounding, which made him helpless by Shizuku’s last attack. He knew he had to use his breathing technique, but he didn’t really want to use this technique since it hurt his body.
nWhile his regenerative healing factor could heal everything, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t feel pain.
n‘It can’t be helped…’
nWhile there were other methods that Tsukasa could use, such as changing the direction of Shizuku’s attack to the audience seat, there were too many people here, and if he did that, he was afraid that someone might get hurt.
nThere was only one method to solve this attack.
nWithout hesitation, Tsukasa absorbed the vapor around his surroundings and cleared up the view of the field.
nHowever, everyone was still stunned when they saw the 100-meter giant iceberg that appeared in the air, covering the entire field, and without a doubt, once it dropped, it would turn Shizuku and Tsukasa into mincemeat.
nKurono wanted to stop this attack since she was afraid it might hurt everyone, but Nene quickly stopped her.
n“Don’t.” Nene looked at Tsukasa with a bright smile and said, “Let him handle this.”
nKurono wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth in the end.
nIf Tsukasa knew what Nene and Kurono were doing, he would complain to them since they didn’t even think about the safety of their students.
nWhile Stella could melt this ice easily, Tsukasa couldn’t do that, so in the end, he could only transform his Device into katana shape again as he started to breathe, but this time, he held two katanas in his two hands.
nAs he breathed, his aura started to rage, and a black aura expanded from his body, giving an explosion-like effect. However, that black aura dissipated and absorbed into his body, enhancing his power tens of folds. His veins were shown through his entire body, whether it was his face, arms, legs, or many parts of his body.
nIf possible, Tsukasa just wanted to absorb the 100 meters of the giant iceberg on top of him, but he didn’t want to be caught by a group of scientists, and frankly, his ability was scary since it could rob the Device of another Blazer, so unless he had enough power to protect himself, he wouldn’t show his ability openly.
nWhile the majority of people were looking at the 100 meters giant iceberg, some people focussed on Tsukasa, who seemed so calm.
nTsukasa softened his entire muscles, softer, more until it became liquid before he tensed all of them instantly, swinging his two of his katanas in whip-like movement naturally toward the 100 meters giant iceberg many thousands of times and more.
nHowever, it wasn’t enough.
n‘But can I give up?’
n“Haaaaa!!!”
nTsukasa howled, ignoring his broken muscles and bones as he kept healing them with his regenerative healing factor. It was painful, and it was tough, but he didn’t stop since he knew that he had broken his limit again and again.
nThen…
n“…Beautiful.”
nThe giant iceberg turned into many beautiful snowflakes that fluttered in the air.
nMany people couldn’t take away their eyes from this beautiful scene, especially when Tsukasa stood in the middle of this scene.
n“It’s tough fighting you, Shizuku.”
nTsukasa walked out of the field as the sound of the buzzer sounded.
n“Shizuku Kurogane can no longer fight! The winner, Kugayama Tsukasa!”
nCheers reverberated through the area that even caused the entire field to shake, but one thing was for sure, Tsukasa just wanted to go back and rest since he was just too tired. He forced his exhausted body to walk, but when he had just entered the corridor, he fell and passed out.
