Negi back to his feet after he receiving a beating hit from Takamichi. After that he retreated backwards to keep his distance from Takamichi.
"You can withstand the first attack from my Iai Ken that I directed to you," said Takamichi. "Your endurance is quite great, Negi. The training you done so far is not in vain!"
Takamichi darted rapidly towards Negi with his special stand that became his trademark.
"Takamichi's punches were so fast I couldn't see it at all," said Negi. 'And now he is dashing to me! I need to concentrate, so I can see where he is going to attack! '
Takamichi attacked Negi repeatedly and Negi tried to avoid and survive simultaneously from Takamichi attack.
'I-I can't see Takamichi's attack at all even though I tried so hard!' Said Negi who was lying on the floor of the arena because of Takamichi attack. "I-I have to find an opening to strike back!"
Negi rolled his body away from Takamichi then tried to stand back up.
'To reduce my distance with Takamichi I need to using a quick move! ' Negi said.
When Takamichi saw Negi once again wanted to use a quick move to approach him. Takamichi just smiled at Negi's naivety.
'When using a quick move, the biggest weakness is that you can't turn or change directions quickly,' said Takamichi while tackling Negi's leg who was doing the quick move. 'I'm not a fool who gets hit by the same thing twice! You are still green and naïve, Negi. '
"Arrrgh!" shouted Negi who felt excruciating pain in his right leg which was tackled by Takamichi. Negi then did a somersault and kept his distance from Takamichi.
Negi then landed at the end of the arena, and almost fell out of the arena.
"It's different from before where Participant Negi keep attacking Participant Takamichi! Now Participant Takamichi are the one who attacking Participant Negi!" Kasumi said. "The current situation is completely reversed!"
'Takamichi's attack distance is about 10-15 meters and the length of this arena is about 15 meters' said Negi. 'There's nowhere to run in this arena!'
"You know Negi," said Takamichi. "If it's just a quick move, I can do it too."
Takamichi suddenly appeared in front of Negi and used Iai Ken right towards Negi's chin. Negi felt that Takamichi would quickly attack him, Negi then using a magic barrier while crossing his arms forward so that the damage received by his body was slightly reduced.
"Long distance or short distance attack, he excel in both ways!" Negi said. 'It's impossible for me to defeat him!'

"Takahata-sensei is really on a different level from all of us de gozaru," said Kaede. "If I try to fight him with my current abilities, I won't be able to win."
"What's scary about Takahata-Sensei is that his Iai Ken attack are really hard to detect because Iai Ken is pure pressure from his speed punch that can't be seen," Setsuna said. "Tatsumiya is probably the only one who can detect that attack even if it's just a little."
"Negi did you know the Iai ken I'm using right now is a move taught by one of your father's best friends," said Takamichi. "Do you remember the person who is in the far right corner of the photo Eishun gave you? He is my teacher."
"Takamichi, you mean that the middle-aged man who wears those glasses is your teacher?" Asked Negi.
"Yes, and he is a very good person," replied Takamichi. "My battle with you today makes me happy, you can be that strong even though you don't have a good martial arts talent like you older brother Shirou. The son of Nagi that I admire is really became strong. I think now I will be more serious in this battle. "
"Hmm, Takamichi intends to end this fight huh," said Evangeline with a smirk in her face. "He intends to do that."
"Eh, what do you mean Eva-chan?" Asuna asked confused by what Eva said.
"He's gathering ki energy in his right hand and magic energy in his left hand," replied Evangeline with some evil smile. "He intend to combine the two opposing energies."
As Evangeline said, Takamichi gathered magic energy in his left hand and ki in his right. Then combine of the two energies make a great energy emanates from his body.
"A great wind pressure plus a bright light suddenly emerged from the bodies of the Participant Takahata," said Kasumi while slightly cover her eyes with hand because a bright light that emanated from Takamichi. "What kind of thing that Participant Takahata will do?"
"Are you ready, Negi?" Asked Takamichi. "From now on our battle level will be much different!"
Seeing the immense energy Takamichi put out after doing something nearly impossible by fusing magic and ki. Negi felt worse, before he knew it was almost impossible for him to beat Takamichi. Now Negi really felt that it was impossible to beat Takamichi. But in his heart Negi really wants to win against Takamichi even though he knows it is impossible.
"Blaaaaaar!" suddenly in front of Negi a pillar of light appeared which destroyed the floor of the arena. And the wind pressure from the attack sent Negi flying behind.
The attack from Takamichi made all the audience gawked. Because they saw something that seemed absolutely impossible and terrifying.
"T-The attack from participant Takahata are just like a cannon attack," said Kasumi. "A-Amazing!"
"W-what was that just now?" Said Chisame who looked very shocked and amazed. 'What Takahata-Sensei did earlier was completely impossible and absurd!'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Takamichi's attack made Negi shocked so much that it made his body tremble.
'I-Is that the true ability of Takamichi?' Negi said while trembling and sweating. "With my current ability, can I win against Takamichi!"
"I am currently only one level below your father's ability, Negi," said Takamichi. "I'm still not able to match him at all, but right now I can see you are discouraged, if you are like that, you will not be able to reach the level of your father!"
" Takamichi will really finish off that boy," said Evangeline still smirking seeing his martial student has been beating by Takamichi. "Now, boy, can you find a way out to beat Takamichi?"
Furthermore, Negi could only run around the arena to avoid Takamichi's consecutive attacks. Although Takamichi hasn't been seen directing his attack at Negi's body at all.

"If Negi is hit by a super strong attack from Takahata-Sensei I think the effect will be more than a bone fracture," said Rin.
"H-how can I didn't know that Takahata-sensei is that tough!" Asuna said.
"Calm down Nee-chan, even though Takahata's move is very strong but it must have weaknesses!" Kotaro said. "The bigger the effect of an attack, the bigger the gap! Takahata can only attack vertically because if he strikes horizontally his attacks will hit the audience! Vertical attacks are harder to control than his invisible attacks and that will create the gap needed for Negi to strike back! "
"You are right Kotaro-kun," said Kaede. "But Takahata-Sensei can cover that gap using his invisible attack!"
Like what Kaede said, when Negi saw a gap in Takamichi, he tried to strike back. It's just that Negi was immediately hit by Takamichi's invisible hit.
Negi who was pushed back immediately used a quick move to get away from Takamichi. But Takamichi also uses a quick move and appears behind Negi. Takamichi immediately jumped up and was about to use Super Iai Ken from a higher place so that the effect of his attacks would be stronger.
But because of the jump Takamichi made before, Negi had time to use magic that could withstand Takamichi's attacks.
"Flans Paries Arelialis!"
Takamichi's Super Iai Ken was well restrained. So that Negi was relieved.
"If I'm not mistaken, the magic you used earlier is a wind wall magic that can withstand up to 10 tons of pressure," said Takamichi, who suddenly was beside Negi. "Unfortunately the effect is instantaneous and cannot be used continuously."
'Deflexio!' Negi tried to hold back super Iai Ken from Takamichi who attacked him directly from the front using his standard magic wall, but unfortunately the effect of Takamichi's attack could only be slightly reduced.
Negi, who was still in pain, then jumped out of the arena and stood on one of the lampposts near the audience seats.
"Participant Negi suddenly came out of the arena and stood on the lamppost," said Kasumi. "What are Negi participants trying to do?"
'My magic energy is running low because I have to strengthen the body and usd magic wall at the same time,' said Negi. 'If only Shirou-nii hadn't taught me magic to strengthen my body, I would have lost faster! The attack that I am currently preparing for will be my last attack! '
"Sagitta Magica Series Fulgularies!"
Negi made 10 magic arrows with lightning elements and then concentrated the magic arrows around his body.
"Takamichi!" Negi said. "I will make the final strike! Get ready!"
'He concentrates magic arrows around his body does he have some ideas,' said Takamichi. 'I'll see what kind of attack Negi will do!'
"Good! Carry out the attack!" Takamichi said while smiling.
"Oooh, the two participants are about to end the match which has been going on for almost 15 minutes!" Kasumi said. "Who will be the winner in this match!"
'It's true that if I concentrate Sagitta Magica in my hand then my fist will become stronger,' said Negi. 'But this time I'll focus Sagitta Magica all over my body then use a quick move to strengthen my attack!'
When super Iai Ken darted at him, Negi immediately focused his lightning magic arrows all over the body and then dashed quickly towards Takamichi. While defending super Iai Ken who was currently pressing his body.
The combination of a quick move with a body strengthened by Sagitta Magica as well as a wall of wind magic that he previously used making Negi able to defend Super Iai Ken and enable him to approach Takamichi.
And struck an attack on Takamichi's body.
"The two participants collided with each other!" Kasumi said. "And the effect of the collision created a smokescreen that made both participants invisible!"
'So he focused the magic arrows all over his body then looked for an opening as soon as I used Super Iai Ken directly on his body,' said Takamichi. 'And he used his wind magic wall to lock my super Iai Ken and let him get time to break through my defenses, you're great Negi.'
"Come out, Negi, don't just hide behind the smoke," said Takamichi. "You know your reckless attack just now won't be able to hurt me!"
"Dominus Aerialis!"
Takamichi heard Negi's voice and turned his head back. Negi is already behind him and has prepared an attack using the Delay Spell.
"From this close, your move can't be used!" Said Negi who was ready to use his ouka houken.
"Is that true?" Takamichi said.
Negi was confused by Takamichi's words and was about to say.
"What do you mean..."
"Blaaaaaar!"
Super Iai Ken landed right on Negi's body, making his body hit by such a strong blow. Negi fainted in an instant due to Iai Ken's super attack.
"Finally the smokescreen is starting to disappear!" Kasumi said. "And we can see who is still standing from the crash that happened earlier."
"You're full of surprises Negi can push me this far," said Takamichi. "If only I didn't have the desire to fight with your brother Shirou, I would have lost in this match in purpose. But unfortunately I really want to know how strong the man who inherited all the abilities from the Thousand Master! "
"Oooh participant Negi fell and fainted!" Kasumi said. "The winner of the 6th match is Participant Takahata!"
