Chapter 446 Midori Versus Kurogami
Knighthawk paused for a couple of seconds as he assessed the situation.
Not only was Shiroi thrown out of bounds, but she was also mercilessly defeated. At first, Emma was at a disadvantage but she completely turned the situation around with her overwhelming skill and unorthodox use of her superpower.
Even the audience was amazed at how well Emma fought. Such precision and skill in using her dimensional portal was pure skill. They couldn't imagine just how much time and effort she invested in her superpower for it to become like that.
Without further ado, Knighthawk raised his hand and declared Emma the winner. "The fight is over, and the verdict is... they'll be exchanging seats!" Knighthawk announced.
This has caused a little bit of discussion amongst the audience. Up until now, they had no idea why the mini-tournament was held.
But after a couple of discussions here and there, as well as clarification from Knighthawk himself, they realized that all of these was just to decide the seating arrangement for the class. Some of the audience chuckled, but some were intrigued since it was really a novel idea.
"And now... for the next match." Knighthawk continued, looking at his class who was casually positioned by the edge of the stage where the fight was held. They didn't bother going into the waiting rooms since it wasn't a formal tournament anyway.
Midori and Kurogami walked forward even though Knighthawk hasn't said their names. They were eager to fight each other since it would just be an exhibition match.
Frankly, the two of them didn't care about the measly seating arrangement, they were just there to fight and challenge each other to the limits. That's about it.
"I thought you wouldn't accept my challenge. Don't expect me to go easy on you, all right?" Kurogami puffed his chest as he spoke with a clear voice. There was no hint of pride in his voice. He was there to challenge Midori, nothing more nothing less.
"Of course, a man doesn't back down from a challenge." Midori recited. He hasn't realized it yet but he was already heavily influenced by Kurogami. "I don't expect you to go easy on me either. I'm not going to hold back."
"Sure thing," Kurogami responded as he assumed a fighting stance. He then extended his hand and gestured for Midori to come at him whenever he was ready.
Knighthawk's lips tilted upward as he watched Midori and Kurogami with their eagerness to fight. He had seen a lot of crazy things in his class and he knew just how crazy these two could get. Deep inside, he was rooting for both of them, and he expected them to pull out all stops so he could watch a thrilling match.
"Ready... Fight!"
"I have been working on this move for too long... but now... I think I might be able to pull it off." Kurogami said as he put up his hand in front of him. "Kage b*nshin no—" He called out.
Multiple shadows appeared on the ground, and since he could teleport into any shadow and appear there, he forced his mind to teleport at all the shadows. There were three shadows in total, and three of them appeared on top of that shadow,
This technique required an unbending will and a strong mind that wouldn't crack under pressure. He needed to concentrate on his three other clones, or else his skill would deactivate.
Just putting up three clones severely depleted his energy, but it did the trick of showing off.
The audience went wild after seeing the signature move of a certain ninjutsu user of a popular animated series. They immediately recognized the move. Some of them even started shouting the iconic name of the move since they were too amazed by it.
"Hoh~ interesting," Midori said as he clocked his fists. "I'm also working on a signature move of mine... I'm sure you would recognize it in a flash."
Without saying anything, Midori rushed at Kurogami and his three clones. All three of them jumped at once before they fired shadow balls at Midori.
Midori cleanly dodged all of them while closing in on the distance. He moved like a snake, weaving through the stage while waiting for an opening.
It took all of Kurogami's concentration to keep his clones. But after a couple of minutes of running around, he got used to controlling all three of them. Their moves become smoother, and he managed to keep his distance from Midori.
Midori smiled at Kurogami's insane improvement. "I guess it's time for me to make a move, huh,"
While Kurogami was darting around here and there, Midori stopped in the middle of his tracks, and he activated his berserker superpower, making him balloon in size.
Everyone could tell that he was about to unleash a powerful move since he tucked his right fist.
A swirling vortex of air or pure energy gathered in Midori's hand and it continued to exponentially grow in power.
Kurogami backed away after sensing the sheer amount of pressure that emanated from Midori. He had no idea what he was about to do, but he could tell it would be a crazy move.
"Detroooit Smaaa—" Midori screamed. It was an iconic move from an iconic superhero animated series in the past, and everyone knew what it was.
After all, it was a move that could supposedly release enough wind pressure that it could change the weather.
The upward wind pressure blew Kurogami away, and he immediately lost control of his clones. They disappeared in an instant.
As for the audience, they felt the sheer power of the punch that Midori unleashed. Soon, clouds began to form on top of the Coliseum, and a slight drizzle filled the entire stage.
"Oi oi~ are you kidding me?" Kurogami picked himself up. He couldn't believe that Midori managed to pull it off.
The crowd went even wilder, they started screaming the name of the iconic move. Midori waved back at the crowd before turning his attention back to Kurogami.
"We're just getting started." Midori grinned.
