“Huff..huff”
Both Gabriel and Sora were breathing heavily like they just ran a marathon while lying on the floor at the same time.
{How is he getting so fast?}
{ Agatha’s attacks should’ve affected him a little bit it’s like..it’s like he’s just getting started. It’s like he hasn’t broken a sweat yet.}
{ This Bastard!..come on get up beat the hell out of him!}
“Fools...you guys are still not getting it yet!”Arata shrieked in a domineering manner as he spoke.
“As far as I can read you all thoughts not one of you can attack me!”
“Are you sure about that? Because it wasn’t looking that way to me a moment ago. Her attacks reached you.” Gabriel slowly got back up on his feet.
“Huh?”
“Yes he’s right. Yes you’re strong but you can’t take all three of us at once Arata.” Agatha was already back up on her feet. She quickly walked forward and stood by Gabriel.
Sora was still on his knees with a grimace. Right now he had one thought in his mind but this was a thought for Arata to hear.
{ Don’t get full of yourself Arata! I told you from the very beginning! I’m going to beat the hell out of you here.}“No” Sora immediately stood back up with a determined attitude.
He knew that right now...
“We will all beat you!” ...his resolve was to win.Even though their opponent was strong he can’t possibly cope with all three of them attacking at once. They can’t lose yet. They all knew in their heart that defeat was not an option. Even though Arata just beat them to the ground a moments ago, their determination to win became even more stronger than ever.
Arata looked at all the faces of his three opponents. He saw something. He saw hope. They were all hoping to win against him. In that moment Arata knew that this fight was going to be the best fight he will ever have in this whole Representative tournament. And why was that?
“Sora! Come all of you let me crush your hope!” Arata screamed as his feelings of excitement kept building up.
Crushing others hope was what he did best.
Agatha smiled and opened her mouth “Don’t worry we intend to!”
*Zoom*
*Bam*
In a split second Agatha clashed towards Arata. She was way more faster than before but Arata was still able to counteract her instantaneous attack.
But thing is she was not just the only one attacking this time. They were no longer attacking sequentially like before. This time it was an all out group attack.
“You’ve gotten faster” Arata smiled in amazement while holding Agatha’s fist with his left hand.
“Hmm...So have they.”In that split second Sora appeared on Arata’s left side. He was already about to land a big blow on Arata like his life the depended on it.
But Arata’s reflexes were really sharp. Even if Sora’s attack happened in a split second, it didn’t go unnoticed by Arata. Truely he was really amazing and he actually knew this. He got lost in the thrilling feeling of his superb battling qualities.
Arata quickly moved his right arm to counteract Sora while thwarting Agatha from attacking with his left arm.
Arata was so fixated on Sora that he forgot something.
But the heat he felt from his right side made him remember that there was one more attack coming.
“Hey! You’re beginning to slow down.” Gabriel’s heated fist was already close to Arata’s face.
Gabriel was sure that this was it. He knew that this time. This time he would land his blow on this Bastard.
In that split second they all had Arata pinned down. This Bastard can’t really keep up with all three of them, so they thought.
At that moment Arata had a rather Astonished look on his face but he was still able to follow up with his smile.
In that split second he grab Agatha and gave her a solid kick. The kick was so strong that both him and Agatha flew away in the opposite direction.
He used Agatha’s body as a means to propel himself out of the tough spot. Almost the same thing Gabriel did in the beginning of the fight but this time he did it even more better and dangerously than Gabriel. This guy he was really unbelievable. To be able to get out of a tough situation like that. His agility was Unbelievable.
Sora was instantaneously shocked as he glanced at Arata with awe but he quickly regained his sense of urgency when he felt the heat coming from Gabriel’s fist. Gabriel hit was still coming through.
‘Oh shit’
Sora instinctively vanished.
*Boom*
Gabriel’s explosive attack fired off in the space of air.
“Shit! He got away” Gabriel was disappointed when he quickly looked at Arata who had already escaped all of their attacks.
*Zoom*
Agatha passed Gabriel in a flash to continued attacking. The wind from Agatha’s flash movement nudged Gabriel back into action. He immediately proceeded back to offense one more time. They had to win this one. It doesn’t matter if their opponent was strong. If that was the case they all knew that they had to just get even more stronger and defeat him.
*Bam*
Agatha quickly went offensive on Arata. It’s not just Arata movements that’s getting faster. Agatha’s movements were also getting faster too. They both kept attacking and counteracting each other.
Sora immediately appeared among both their battle and joined in. Now it was two against one. Arata was still counteracting really well.
Gabriel was not intending on lagging behind either even though he was just a regular human. He quickly dashed to into the battle scene and joined in.
Now it was three against one. They were now attacking more stronger than ever.
But the funny thing was, Arata was still keeping up quite well. Arata was still counteracting all three of them attacks at the same time. Agatha was currently using telekinesis on her body to make her movements more faster. Same thing with Sora, he was disappearing and appearing around Arata with an attack almost every time. As for Gabriel he was still attacking. He was going beyond his limits trying to attack Arata. Even if he was just a regular human his determination to win was just as strong as his powered humans group members so he even went more faster.
Faster. Gabriel was currently going as fast as he could with his regular human body. It wasn’t just him. All his group members were also giving everything they’ve got.
Still Arata was keeping up. He was still counteracting all their attacks at once. He was not just keeping up. He was smiling in amusement while counteracting all their attacks one by one. He was having fun in their despair.
Arata kept counteracting with excitement.
He smiled even more as he thought. ‘I thought i told you all not one of your attacks will touch me.’
‘You guys don’t get it’
{ Blow behind his head] [ Kick] {
Explosive- burst }
‘And you still don’t want to learn’
{ I have to go even more faster. I have to punch the hell out of this guy. Teleport even more. Now to hit his solar plexus }
{ This Bastard he’s really keeping up.Now I’ll have to use my pull.}
{ Sora and Agatha’s is still keeping up. I need to find an opening and use my Explosive-burst }
“I can see through all you guy’s attack! As far as I can read your thoughts. You won’t touch my body!”
Arata swiftly grabbed Gabriel by the neck and bumped him into Agatha. Before both Agatha and Gabriel could recover from the effects of collision against each other, they immediately felt another impact. This time Arata threw Sora towards them.
All three of them lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Arata had completely overpowered them all by himself. Funny enough it was a three on one battle. At this moment they all knew the members of The Strongest Five were not given that title for nothing.
“Boo! Don’t tell me this is what you’ve all got?”
All the three Group C members felt great despairs and anger while they were all down on the ground before Arata’s feet.
“You guys can’t beat me mostly you Sora.” Arata chuckled.
“Yes you’re right...”
Sora started to get back up slowly.
“Huh?..his aura it's different”
“We can’t beat you not like this...”
Arata was the one currently in control of the fight now but he just can’t tell why he’s getting this ominous feeling all of a sudden. He wanted to shrug off the ominous feeling but he couldn’t. Why was he getting an ominous feeling from Sora of all people?
But in an instant he soon realized why.
“When did he?”
Sora was already in front of him. Sora tapped Arata’s shoulder lightly like it was nothing. He got even more closer into Arata’s circle of attack and whispered to his eyes.
“Yes you’re right we can’t beat you like that that’s why I have to use it.”
“What are you talking abo-“
*Bam*
Arata felt himself colliding with the wall before he could finish his statement. In that split second Arata collided with the wall, the feeling of disbelief was written all over his face. How is this possible? Me? Well these were the thoughts his mind wanted to delegate on but there was not enough time for him to do so.
“Hey I’m not done with you yet.”
Sora was already standing right in front of Arata again. Arata was still falling from his impact with the wall. He has not yet landed his feet on the ground and Sora was already there.
‘What the hell is going on?’ Arata screamed in his thoughts with a bewildered look.
{ Now for an uppercut }
‘Uppercut Huh. You may have succeeded in attacking me once but I can still read your thoughts!’
*Bam*
Arata skyrocketed away to the top of the tunnel due to Sora’s uppercut. He clashed with the top surface of the tunnel and bounced right back to ground due to the impact.
“Ahh” Arata muttered in pain but the his pain was currently the least of his problem right now. The disturbing thoughts in his mind or rather the disturbing question was still not yet answered.
‘What the hell is going on here?’ Arata screamed in his thoughts with a perplexed expression.
. . ‘What the hell is going on here’ Arata had a baffled expression on his face. He had an intense feeling of curiosity more than the pain he was currently feeling. Right now he was very much eager to know what was really going on. How was such a thing happening right now? Curiosity was written all over his face. Although he asked his mind for answers to the current situation but... ‘I knew he wanted to go for an uppercut but I couldn’t counter him.’ ‘What’s this loser doing?’ ...But his mind could not provide him with the answers he seeks. Arata looked up at Sora with Grimace. How did the situation get to this in just a second? How w
. . The very moment Sora touched Gabriel’s hand everything changed. Gabriel immediately felt this strange feeling. It was strange in the sense that it was a feeling that he had never felt before but it was an unknown feeling that felt rather good. It felt more like an inner void in him was immediately filled. A void he never knew he had in the first place. It was crazy but at that moment he felt rather complete. Not letting himself get lost in his current thrilled feeling, He instantly regained his sense of urgency, now that he was given the power to teleport he had to act fast because there was only a minute left before the plane traveler skill finally runs out. The plane traveler skill. The fact Gabriel miraculously got power was because of this Sora’s skil
. . It was true I came to the Stratton Dojo to get stronger. I came because I was tired of being treated like trash by my District people. Unfortunately, the whole world was filled with bullies. When I came to Stratton Dojo I immediately met another set of bullies here and just like that my life of suffering like trash continued. The bad thing was, here bullying was accepted. The bullies here were the seniors and if you wanted it to stop, you had to fight your opponent and take their position. That was the golden rule. Only the strong can do whatever he wants. But I wasn’t strong. I was just a boy who could read people’s mind and nothing else. That was till I met her. ‘Akari Ito.’ She saved me from these bullies. She was a red Gi student who beat up her fellow red Gi students
. . “What the hell is this?” Gabriel muttered. There was a sudden distorted expression in everyone’s faces. They all sensed Arata’s pressure while they were still trapped in the rhythm of their own movements. Agatha was still trying to knock out the king by strangling him. Gabriel and Sora were still approaching Agatha and the king when the sudden burst of pressure immediately caught all their attention. Still for them. There was absolutely no doubt about it. ‘Shit! He’s still awak..Huh? When did he?” Arata was already running ahead of Sora and Gabriel before anybody could even let out a breath much less of a defensive reaction. Gabriel immediately went into shock. It was as if time had slowed down for Gabriel due to the tensed
. . “Um..do..you really think they.. be okay?” Yua asked. She was sitting with Danny while playing with her fingers. “Hmm I think they’ll be just fine. Besides group B is already out. So it’s just group A and us now.” Danny replied. They were both sitting on the floor in one of the lonely underground tunnels that was slightly dark. It was the perfect spot to hide at the moment because they could easily move into the closeby darkness lying in the tunnel to hide if there was any case of emergency. They were prepared to hide in the dark if they should notice any other person’s movements. “From what the announcement said. Someone must have taken out group B’s king which means we have to be even more careful now.” “That’s why... why...we’re ...h
. . “Wow! Number three is amazing!” “I actually pity the other guy fighting him.” “I think the other blue Gi student is doing good too.” “Yeah but doing good doesn’t mean that he can actually take down Hideyo number three!” “Of course There’s no way in hell that’s gonna happen! I pity Group C now. This might be a harsh thing to say but we all know they are screwed.” “They barely even took down Arata.” "Point of correction. They were lucky with Arata. Funny thing is lightning doesn't strike this same place twice."
. . Hideyo quickly grew another sets of limbs and jumped right back on his feet. His healing ability was really one of a kind. An ability to heal from any form of injury his body sustains. It was a unique ability that made him fight more recklessly than any other fighter. The help of a healer or a regenerative incubator was something he has never needed since he started fighting. His ability itself was ‘fast regeneration’. Quick Healing right at that moment so there were never injuries left to heal right after his fights. And on top of that he was strong. His prowess as a fighter was not lacking in anyway. His combat instinct was already honed to the hilt. Th
. . “What happened?” “What’s wrong with the screen?” “Hey come on! Why turn off the screen at the fun part?” “We’re gonna miss it!” There was an uproar in the whole arena. The whole voices of the audience in the arena sounded with outrage. They all seemed to be complaining about the current blank Big screen. The screen unexpectedly stopped projecting the scenes of the fight right after the explosion.
