____Narration____

Before the eyes of all the spectators, Yuji fell on his own face, blood dripping from his eyes, mouth and nose, while he gave no sign of consciousness.

A sign that definitely indicated his defeat, after all, in that state, the boy was no longer in a position to fight...

But could it be any different for Kanoh Agito?

The fighters didn't think so, because turning to the wall that divided the stands from the arena, Kanoh Agito had his body smashed into the concrete, with no sign of getting up for another round.

"What happened?" Akira asked with concern in his gaze, his sight fixed on Yuji's apparently lifeless body.

"They hit each other simultaneously." It was Sekibayashi who explained, his posture and expression indicating seriousness about the situation. "The instant Yuji attacked, Fangs countered with a punch to his heart."

"From this moment on, he who gets up first wins."

With Yuji, the boy struggled to muster any strength in his muscles, even in the face of the unbearable pain coursing through his body.

His energy, which he had gathered during his entire rest period since his fight against Kuroki Gensai, had drained away at once, and at that moment, it was difficult to even keep his eyes open.

His vision was blurred and his hearing impaired. The only taste he could smell was his own blood.

But he wouldn't give up.

Resting his elbow on the ground, Yuji slowly pushed his body up until he was on his knees, his eyes widening as he felt the blood rise in his throat.

But he swallowed it back.

He wouldn't let himself bleed so much, not when he needed every drop of his blood to win.

Putting one foot on the ground, Yuji turned to Kanoh with tired eyes, seeing that Metsudo's current Fangs were slowly moving, indicating that the fight wasn't over.

"Let's finish this once and for all, master."

Muttering, the boy got to his feet in a single movement, confusion causing him to stagger before he could steady himself.

Kanoh, who was already on his feet, turned to the boy with a somber expression, the man walking slowly towards him while the boy struggled to keep his footing.

There was no need for words as Kanoh moved closer and closer to the boy.

All the necessary dialog had already been done with his fists.

At that moment, they would just end the conversation.

!

Advancing against each other, Yuji deftly dodged a punch, blood spurting from a fresh cut on his face as he launched his own attack, his eyes alight with a determined flame as he mustered all his remaining strength into this blow.

A clean hit.

Boom!

His fist struck Kanoh's chin with enough force to cause the ground beneath his feet to tremble, the sound of something breaking catching the fighters' attention as they watched tensely.

"..."

Silence hung in the air as the two fighters remained in the same position, the silence finally breaking when Kanoh fell face-first to the ground, leaving only the victor standing.

"O- The winner is the God Anomaly, Yuji Shinakawa! He has won! He beat the Fifth Fangs of Metsudo!"

The audience immediately roared at the statement, some of the fighters cheering at Kanoh Agito's defeat, while others silently congratulated Yuji on his narrow victory.

"You're incredible, Yuji!"

"That's why I bet my money on you!"

"You're the best, Yuji!"

The audience was excited, and the fighters could easily tell. Most of them weren't unhappy about the boy's victory, in fact, they seemed happy that someone had finally knocked Kanoh Agito off his pedestal.

But while most of them were celebrating, some of them seemed more tense than usual.

Somewhat understandably, after all, Kanoh Agito's defeat indicated that Katahara Metsudo's reign was finally over.

Big changes were in store for the association, and the entrepreneurs feared that these changes might affect them too much.

Yamashita Kazuo or Yoshitake Yoshiro? Ohma Tokita or Yuji Shinakawa?

The victory of one of them would change the association forever, now all they had to do was believe that it would be a good change.

Back in the arena, Yuji had a downcast expression as he stared at his master on the ground, his eyes moving to stare at his trembling right fist, which was slowly taking on a purple coloration on his skin.

'It's broken.' Yuji watched as he tried to move his fingers, only to achieve nothing more than minimal movements. 'That was your last desperate move, wasn't it, master?'

Yuji thought, his mind going back to a moment before, when he was about to hit Kanoh's chin.

In a desperate move, Fangs thrust his chin towards the boy's fist in an attempt to lessen the impact of the blow.

It worked, but he hadn't counted on Yuji using [Removal] on his torso to increase his attack power.

Even if the damage was reduced, it was still too much for Kanoh to resist, especially with his skull already extremely damaged and his senses affected.

Bowing in respect to his master, Yuji turned and started walking out of the arena, completely ignoring the referee, who was trying to stop him so that he could be guided to the infirmary.

A smile appeared on his lips, his face filling with serenity as his eyes turned to the arena corridor to find the girls he adored so much staring at him with expressions full of concern.

As he walked with the sole intention of catching up with them, he didn't notice when the crowd's excitement suddenly stopped.

He didn't notice the fighters shouting at him to stop.

He didn't notice some nurses running desperately towards him.

He understood all this...

Only when his body finally gave way.
