Not a single word can describe what Dark Eyes is seeing right now because what he sees is not as simple as he thinks.
"No wonder all the conclusions obtained are very different from the reality !! It turns out that this ability really exists"
Amazed or confused?
All could not be described even though everything he had seen with his own eyes. There is a feeling of wanting to have that ability in Dark Eyes but all of them are held and kept tightly. As if she didn't want to be lulled any longer in awe, Dark Eyes slowly emerged from the soulless body she possessed and reported what she saw.
"How? Did you find anything?"
Question after question posed by the curious Gyo made him convey what he saw in order to answer Gyo's curiosity.
"All of this is very far from what we imagined before"
"His ability is really unique and interesting makes me want to have abilities like that"
"Then what is his ability? Seriously don't make me more curious !!" Gyo snapped while whispering.
"S-sorry ... Actually, the ability possessed by that person is to make his soul split and share it with his teammates," explained Dark Eyes.
"Isn't that the conclusion we made earlier? What's different?" Gyo asked, getting annoyed.
"Yes it is, but the effect of the ability is different from what you concluded earlier," answered Dark Eyes.
"His ability is truly unique where by sharing his soul, his abilities can be lent to those who obtain these souls," he continued.
"Is it true?"
"Yes ... in other words, the other team members don't have any ability and they can't even use other abilities besides the loan's ability," Dark Eyes said.
"Then what about his soul in the dark?" Gyo asked again.
"That is the soul of the mother it holds, if it comes out of the darkness or disappears before the other soul returns to its body then it can no longer control its body and become like a madman," explained Dark Eyes.
"What a frightening ability," said Gyo a little scared.
"No wonder you can't see the threads of the soul when tracing its capabilities," he continued.
Meanwhile in the field, the sandstorm created by Kaze unwittingly grew more and more sand entered, and even so, the sand did not affect the condition of his team.
"Just my feeling or is this sand getting more and more concentrated?" asked Kiriya, aware of the situation.
"That's just how you feel !! We'd better tighten up the attack and defense because the longer their points get closer to us," Clay said suggesting.
Difference in points that were previously quite far away can now be followed by the Cyoku High School team with a score of 58-60.
The game started to feel very slow because the points scored were not as many as in the previous game but the crowd who packed the location of the match still competed in favor of their favorite team.
A moment later, the sound of the whistle blew again indicated that a team had scored. Visible results on the scoreboard showing the numbers 61-60 indicates that the Cyoku High School team scored three points. The collaboration carried out by Hiruka and Kaze launched their scores and led them to lead the match.
Moments later, Pak Yagami's hand formed a T-pattern indicating that they requested a time-out to re-form the strategy. With heavy steps the entire team walked toward the bench, panting from exhaustion.
"Whaaaa? Really what did you say Gyo?"
Shin's shocked voice that was very loud made the entire competition room quiet for a moment. Seeing the incident made Shin feel a great shame but tried to be covered up with his cool behavior.
"I-It's like that, yeah," said Shin, unable to cover his embarrassment.
"If that means we can easily win this match," Kaze said casually.
"What do you mean? That ability is very troublesome even if it's only against the four of us, but we can't always hope from our captain's three-figure shot," Ren interrupted.
"Calm down !! Soon my sandstorm ability will reach the second stage and you will witness its power," Kaze replied casually.
Without feeling the time out finally runs out and the game resumes.
The inward throw was carried out by the Nidou High School team followed by fast operands to storm the defense of the Cyoku High School team but the operands that were fast were slowly starting to slow down.
"I feel very tired !! My energy feels drained very fast," said Ogure.
"I'm ... thirsty ... so thirsty ..."
"Looks like all the fluids in my body are slowly starting to run out ..."
One by one the members of the Nidou High School team began to feel extreme fatigue as if all the liquid in their body was evaporating and weakening their bodies.
"This is the second stage of my sandstorm's ability, slowly absorbing the bodily fluids of the opponent and making them exhausted so that drinking a few liters of water will not be enough," Kaze explained.
"This ability sounds a little ... evil ..." Ryu said timidly.
"Your abilities are terrible but fortunately you are in our team," Shin said a little misgivingly.
By weakening the body of his opponent so easily the Cyoku High School team can score even though the ability of darkness that can be active at any time but it can still be overcome.
Seeing his team members being overwhelmed and exhausted made Nidou's high school team coach take action by replacing the four players.
"It's useless !! They want their body fitness to be as high as possible but the second stage of mine is very powerful," Kaze reminded.
Sure enough, they had just entered the field but they already felt extreme fatigue and thirst that was unbearable. Unwittingly the third quarter finally ended and changed to the fourth quarter but point by point was easily obtained by the Cyoku High School team.
"We're not strong anymore !! I just give up"
One by one the members of the Nidou High School team who had just entered lost their willingness to play so that point by point scored by the Cyoku High School team began to pile up and make them party numbers until the long whistle signaled the end of the match finally sounded. The position ended with a score of 213-60, a pretty landscaped score in the Interhigh final eighth match for the Masara prefecture.
The two teams bowed to each other in a sign of mutual respect for the opponent and the match they had done.
"I did not think that I would be defeated this way but I admit that you are a very strong team," Yasu said, whose soul had returned to normal.
"I hope you can win the next match and win the Masara prefecture," he said again.
With the end of this match the Cyoku High School team will certainly compete in the semifinal against Risato Academy but from behind the audience, a mysterious man with red eyes watched the match with a feeling of disappointment.
"A good match even though you didn't play but I waited for you in the final round ... don't lose, huh," he said as he disappeared into the crowd.
"This feeling ... I didn't expect you to be in this place without realizing it," murmured Dark Eyes.
whats next?
