There was no need for congratulations or words of motivation. Yuji and Kanoh knew this, which is why Metsudo's fifth Fangs refrained from meeting the boy.
He had lost, but that didn't mean anything negative. Agito was proud of his own strength and didn't think he was worthy of defeat.
But at that moment, he couldn't have been happier.
In just two years, Yuji had grown into a real powerhouse. In such a short space of time, he had gone from a boy who wasn't even capable of giving him a scratch, to finally surpassing him.
Agito was proud of his student. He didn't quite understand the feeling, but something told him it was right.
He wanted to follow this boy's growth closely.
But this time, without his tutelage.
.
"The first to enter the arena for the 31st fight and the final of the annihilation tournament is him! The one who has indisputably become the new king of kengan matches! God's anomaly, Yuji Shinakawa!"
With Sayaka's announcement, Yuji promptly walked towards the center of the arena, where the referee was waiting anxiously to announce the start of the fight.
There was no powerful pressure escaping from his body, nor was his aura towering over everyone in the room. Yuji looked calm, in a state of serenity not seen before by any of the spectators.
Why? Nothing more than pure satisfaction.
He wanted to win, that was immutable, but even if he was unable to do so, he was already satisfied with his performance. Over the course of the tournament, he had reached a whole new level, to the point that his "self" at the start of the tournament couldn't even compare to his current state.
His growth from that moment on would be frightening, even for himself.
So, regardless of the outcome of this battle, he was already satisfied.
Win or lose, he had already climbed countless steps to greatness.
"And here he is! Followed by Yuji, "The Asura" Tokita Ohma, makes his entrance!"
As Ohma walked towards the center of the arena, Yuji immediately turned to him, a satisfied smile on his lips, which seemed to catch Asura's eye.
"You look very calm." Ohma commented as he arrived in front of him, he own smile on her lips.
"Well, what can I say? I've reached the final, and you look much stronger than you did a while ago. It's very encouraging." Yuji replied, going on to relax his arms, Ohma accompanying him on the stretches.
"You've grown up too. It's scary to think that you haven't even turned 18."
"I have blessed genetics."
Shifting his shoulders, Yuji moved his eyes to Ohma, his eyebrow rising as he glanced at her status.
'Observe.
[Status]
Name: Ohma Tokita
Age: 28
Strength: XX++ >>> X
Durability: XXX >>> XXX
Stamina: XX+++ >>> SSS+++
Speed: XXX+ >>> X
Intelligence: XXX
Potential: Z
.
His potential had increased once again, probably for good this time. It was the first time he had seen someone with such high potential. This only underscored how far Ohma would have come if she hadn't lost her memories.
It was a shame that the injuries to his body had diminished his physical capabilities so much... Well, the same could easily be said about himself.
[Status]
Name: Yuji Shinakawa [Yamashita]
Age: 17
Strength: XXX >>> X
Durability: XXX+ >>> XXX+
Stamina: XXX >>> SSS+
Speed: XXX++ >>> X+
Intelligence: XXX

.
His attributes had fallen to the point where they were completely equal to Ohma's, which meant that his victory was far from guaranteed at that point.
They were both severely injured. Their bodies had already exceeded the limits of collapse, but still, there they both were, standing with only their willpower and the only spark of energy left in their bodies.
They both knew that when that last spark went out, it would be the end. Death? Defeat? There was no difference.
Whether or not they were happy to have reached that top spot, victory was still an immutable desire.
"I repeat! They are here! The biggest upsets of this tournament! Those who beat the favorites to reach the final! Has this ever happened before in the 300-year history of Kengan matches?"
Bouncing in front of each other, the two fighters warmed up their bodies as they faced each other with calm smiles.
"Don't miss it, Yuji!"
"Finish him off, Tokita!"
"You can do it, kid!"
"Win once and for all, Ohma!
The crowd seemed divided, which was understandable given that both fighters had won over the audience with their fighting style.
Ohma, with her fierce style, but at the same time, soft and unpredictable. And Yuji, with his incomparable capacity for evolution and unique style.
Many didn't even know who to cheer for, because for them, either one was worthy of victory.
"Both of you, get into position." The referee was sweating as he made his announcement, causing both fighters to take their own stances.
Tashiro Mosashi was the referee for this final match in the annihilation tournament.
It was an honor for which the referee could only be grateful. As the main witness, the one who would represent the more than 100,000 witnesses across the dome, he felt duty-bound to fulfill his role as referee to the best of his ability.
Because that fight would go down in history for eons.
"Ready?!"
"We've had a long road to this moment! But after so much anxiety and waiting, we've finally made it to the final!" Sayaka began before the referee's words. "We had a total of 181 participants and 32 fighters in the main fights!"
Raising his arm in anticipation of the match announcement, the referee gritted his teeth as nervousness slowly took over his body.
"And now, the best of them will be decided!"
"Start!!!"
