Homura and Cherry has eliminated many people already. Their teamwork has been key for all their fights.
Homura's fire power combined with Cherry's IQ so far has been unbeatable. Their training has been very useful for the Shorai Skirmish.
As they eliminate all the people around them, a lightning strike flies towards them. It was aimed at Homura so Cherry didn't have to move but Homura dodges it.
They are both surprised. That lightning strike seemed powerful.
"Where was that from."
Cherry and Homura are back to back trying to find out who sent that lightning strike to them.
From a distance, they see Isamu. He's just standing there eyeing down Homura. He has a menacing smile on his face.
"I finally found you guys."
"Why are you even looking for us?"
"I ain't looking for you. Only Homura."
Cherry starts to get irritated.
"You probably don't know this but me and Sasaki had a deal."
Homura and Chery are confused.
"A deal? What deal?"
"If I didn't go for the both of them, they won't go for me. So he just ensured protection for only them and not you."
"I mean it makes sense. They are worth 50 points. Stop trying to make us go against them."
"That weren't my intention. I just want you guys to know, that I'm gonna beat both of you."
"Homura, he's a Prodigy Disciple. I say we run."
"Hey I wonder Isamu."
"What?"
"If I beat you."
Homura cracks his knuckles.
"Will I become a Prodigy Disciple?"
Isamu laughs.
"Why don't you try find out."
Homura dashes to Isamu. He covers his fist with his aura which turns into fire. Isamu uses lightning dash to move out the way. As a result of that, Homura punches the air.
Isamu uses lightning dash again to go in front of Homura. He touches his stomach and paralyses him.
"Damn it! I can't move!"
Isamu stands in front of a paralysed Homura. He sighs and then smiles. He points his hand towards him.
"Thunderclap Arrow!"
A thunder strike generates from the palm of his hands. It flies towards Homura. It hits him directly. It creates an explosion around them.
"I'll help Homura."
"No you won't!"
Isamu's teammates appear out of nowhere and all rush towards Cherry. She's distracted by them and is unable to help Homura.
Homura is pushed back into the forest. There's many trees around him. He looks around, left, right, in front and behind.
"Where is he gonna come from?"
He stands up and raises his aura.
"I have to be ready to dodge."
Another thunderclap arrow is flying towards his backside. He notices it before it reaches him and moves out the way.
"That was close."
"You can't dodge my attacks forever you know?"
"Yeah. So I have to defeat you quick."
Isamu starts laughing.
"You see this cape I'm wearing? This is proof that you can't beat me quick. Lightning Rush."
Isamu starts to get covered by his lightning. He dashes to Homura with a charged up lightning attack.
Homura raises the aura in his arms and blocks it. The impact causes the ground to break beneath them.
"Not bad."
Isamu jumps back. Homura uses this opportunity to charge at him and send him a barrage of fire powered punches. Isamu dodged some but the rest hits him.
The last punch sends Isamu flying away.
Homura raises the aura at his left arm. The aura turns into a blazing fire.
"This is my new technique!"
The fire at his arm starts to grow. For a split second, Homura's eye colour turns red.
"This is the power of a true Fire Disciple!"
Isamu raises his aura at his right hand. He powers up a Thunderclap Arrow.
"Thunderclap Arrow!"
"Hellfire Eruptiom!"
A colossal beam of fire is generated and starts racing towards Isamu. Isamu releases the largest Thunderclap Arrow that he's ever generated.
Both of the attacks clash, creating a large and sound filled explosion that can be seen and heard from the whole island. Everyone on the island stops fighting for a few seconds to view the explosion.
Cracks on the island appear from another clash. That clash seems to be significantly more powerful than this explosion.
The strong breeze of the explosion reaches everyone in the island.
"I'm not done yet Isamu!"
Homura still hasn't stopped his techniques. He charges up aura to make it even stronger and bypass the explosion.
The attack is about to reach Isamu. All he does is just stand and watch it.
