Act: 62
Hano walked over to where they would enter the arena, stopping and directing his attention to everyone in the room. He looked at the three separate benches that were in a row. On the far-left side sat team Revenant, who stared at Hano's immediate pause. Daichi was seated in the middle-row benches next to Shizu and Taku, whose arms were folded while standing behind him, and finally, the student council members. The girls sat on the bench while the two other boys leaned against the lockers on the far right.
"Now that I have your attention, I want to address how proud I am that you made it here today. I can't wait to have an outstanding battle with you all. Team Revenant, the three of you must feel proud knowing you'll get to easily beat your opponent and have a righteous fight against us. One I look forward to."
He raised his hands in the air with prideful intent.
"I apologize, Shizu. I won't be able to fight your weak ass. I genuinely am disappointed with Tora's actions."
Hano lowered his voice while he walked closer to him.
"To think he would- lose on purpose to the likes of you, it infuriates me that he left a bad image not only on himself but the rest of us. You shouldn't feel this righteous; it's even a blessing for you to be in the room with us strong fighters."
*It's tainting. *
He said while spit flew out his mouth and at Shizu.
He was only a few inches away from his face, and no one stopped him from his actions. Shizu stood up, getting closer to him. His eyes dropped, and he showed no signs of interest in what he had to say.
"Hano."
Shizu kept eye contact with him until he pointed over to team Revenant.
"When we finish with them. You're next. Anyone else who gets in my way, I will. Put them down effortlessly. That includes you too, Taku."
*Oooh- so scary*
*Ahahaha*
Shizu stepped aside from Hano and walked to where the stage was located, with his team first up.
"Get up, both of you; we have a fight to win. Ready team revenant, let's make this quick. We can't have him hog the spotlight!"
Hano clenched his fist. Standing in place, somewhat shaking with anger.
'Shizu! You piece of shit! I swear I will kill you myself!'

Walking first on the stage was team Consume, led by Shizu. Behind him were Daichi and Taku. Taku began waving to the crowd, and behind those three had been team Revenant, also acknowledging the crowd, tons of people shouting with excitement. Shizu stopped, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of masked people in the far back row, and one, in particular, was waving gently toward him.
'They're here just like he said. Now I can't lose, so don't worry; I didn't forget. However, those are not the only reasons why I won't lose. This time, I will prove everyone wrong; prepare yourself, world!'
Shizu continued walking proudly, even looking over at Chul-Moo, who waved at him and his Shishou. Coming to a stop, he turned around with Daichi and Taku, punching his palm as he began to smirk.
The announcer shouted, riling up the crowd and everyone in the world watching live.
*Is everybody ready! It's time for the big shot! Now, I am presenting you with the students of Yoko High, who'll be fighting with us today. But before we begin, I shall be showing you each of the participating students and displaying their name, photo, Star, and number on the big screen!*

*Now that it is displayed, we'll get this fight started! As a reminder, any knockout that would occur to whoever will be teleported out of the ring and any injuries will be attended to immediately. *
*Ok! Gooo, fight! *
"Star activate, Emblem trigger."
A small hexagon with his Star inside appeared above his palm and on the rest of his teammates. It began to faintly glow, activating his first set of abilities and increasing their overall damage output.
Yasu stayed far behind his team. Naru and Takashi blitzed forward to the three boys who seemed to be waiting.
In response, Taku tilted forward, smirking, from whatever plan Shizu had suggested as a potential way of winning. Taku knew what to do as he was scheming something ferocious.
"Sorry, you two, but we'll be the ones to win this and fast. We have an important battle to win against some arrogant ass."
*heh*
"Giant ice wall."
A wall of ice in the form of a wave caved in front of Taku, Shizu, and Daichi. Reaching all the way and hovering over the enemy team, Tekashi charged up his Star. His body began to glow a faint red, and he punched at the ice repeatedly. His punches began to drill holes and rupture the wall of ice until his last punch fractured the bottom, breaking the ice as it started crumbling.
*Crack crack*
Takashi took one final strike.
*POW*
In a flash, out came Shizu, punching Takashi in his jaw, and the emblem changed. His punch sent his body flying over to Yasu. Takashi quickly balanced himself back on his feet. Naru, who was standing on her star midair. She immediately directed her attention to Shizu, with more of her star markings facing his direction. Thin arrows shot out repeatedly at him; Shizu hopped back tip-toeing, avoiding each one, though he realized they began shooting out much faster. Until his eyes averted to his left, and within vision, he saw a glowing red fist from Takashi and not a single sign of damage on his face.
"Pyro gale!"
An orange beam shot past the two, splitting them apart, and Shizu used that opportunity to dash back over to Taku and Daichi.
"Thanks. I wasn't expecting that, but now I must be more observant of their strategies."
Daichi nodded his head at Shizu, and Taku, being Taku, spoke.
"Well, Shizu, it would make sense as to why you need to, you know, run away. Try not to go head-on with someone who specializes in the aspect of hand-to-hand combat. I know you're good and all, but these aren't weaklings you can take lightly anymore."
Shizu rolled his eyes.
More arrows fired, splitting them up once more.
"Ok, Taku, let's get this started."
Daichi sprinted toward Naru, who happened to be on the ground; she noticed and began hopping on top of her stars to escape and gain the height advantage, though the boys were already prepared for that. A wall of ice shot out forward, creating a pathway. Shizu sprinted on top as it manifested, running to Naru and keeping his feet steady so he wouldn't slip. However, he was unable to notice it in time. She was still safe because Takashi ran underneath the ice, getting ready to smash it, but was immediately stopped by Daichi, who jumped in front of him. He stopped his actions and swung a few punches in response. Takashi avoided them with his arms still glowing red, blocking the unavoidable punches.
Naru and Takashi jolted in surprise when they looked back at Yasu, who was getting targeted by an incoming Taku in the background. Takashi's entire body began to glow red as he grabbed Daichi by the arm, lifting and throwing him all the way to the opposite end of the arena and into the wall, where his body crashed.
