Chapter 31 - A Fire Has Been Lit

Kuragami pushes Daku off him. He stands up and rubs his cheek.

"Some of my aura has restored. I'll be able to fight back now."

A shining golden light glows from the left of Kuragami. Both him and Daku look towards that direction.

"What's tha-"

Hoshiko flies towards Kuragami faster than the speed of light. With near to no time to react, he ducks to dodge her as she charges past him with her foot first.

"That would've been bad."

Hoshiko is surprised that Kuragami was able to dodge her attack. She stops moving and stands there staring at Kuragami. She starts biting her lip.

"What's so special about you Kuragami Nozomi?"

Sasaki runs swiftly past Kuragami toward Hoshiko. He swings his sword at Hoshiko. She dodged and trade blows with him. They continue their fight.

Daku is worried.

"Hoshiko looks finished. Her cape is gone aswell. It seems like Sasaki will beat her."

"That just leaves me to beat you!"

Kuragami uses Blessed Arm. He runs towards Daku. Daku throws dark aura balls at him. Kuragami uses his arm to skate to Daku and move left and right to dodge the dark aura balls.

Kuragami then jumps over Daku and lands behind him. Daku is surprised since he didn't expect that.

He quickly looks back but it's too late. Kuragami punches Daku with the Blessed Arm. Daku gets pushed back a good distance. He gets stopped by a mountain behind him.

Kuragami starts running to him again leaving Daku no time to think or rest. His Blessed Arm evaporates.

On another side of the Island, Isamu walks up to Homura. Homura is mumbling.

"His bracelet is glowing. You were tough Homura, but not tough enough."

Homura's eyes suddenly open, the bracelet stops glowing. Isamu is puzzled. Homura's she's are a blazing red. He jumps high into the air.

"How does he still have the strength to jump that high?"

Isamu starts raising his aura. Homura also raises his aura. His aura gets compressed into his fist and turns into fire.

"His aura feels so powerful. His aura feels way more poweful than anyone else's on this island."

Homura screams as he releases a gigantic fire blast going town to Isamu. Isamu was about to do an attack to overpower the fire blast but he stopped because he knows that's impossible.

Instead, he uses his lightning aura to speed himself up and dodge the fire blast. He successfully dodged avoiding direct contact but the explosion the fire blast caused catches up to him and damages him severely.

"Damn it! I was too slow!"

Isamu flies to the floor. Isamu stands up and receives a chin flattening uppercut which leads him to being airborne again. Homura then jumps up and knees his stomach.

Blood escapes Isamu's mouth. Homura then kicks him away by kicking his face. Isamu is sent flying then as he falls, he rolls on the floor forcefully.

Isamu gets up slowly as he's injured all around. As he looks up, three fireballs are flying towards him.

"Give me a break Homura."

All three fireballs hit him. Isamu is covered with smoke and burn marks but he's still standing.

"Thunder Coating: Thunder Pierce!"

Isamu dashes at lightning speed towards Homura. He tries to hit him with the Thunder Pierce but Homura steps back leading Isamu to miss.

"He was able to react that fast? Even though I'm weakened, I'm still above lightning speed. There's no way that-"

Homura covers his right fist with his fiery aura and punches Isamu to the ground.

"Homura Endou is stronger than me, a Prodigy Disciple."

Isamu crashes to the ground. He is moaning because of the pain.

"I'm really that weak huh?"

Isamu's bracelet starts glowing. Tears start dripping down his face. He disappears and his aura flies into Homura's bracelet.

Homura's whole body feels a shock. He starts coughing blood. He drops to the floor as he can't move.

His eyes turn back to normal. Although he's on the floor.

"Genji, why is that boy still on the island? It's clear that he can't move."

"The bracelets only activate when it senses that the holder cannot fight. It seems like he still has some fight in him Sai."

"Well is that so? Well then he's tougher than he looks."

His tribe is known for their willpower after all."

"Homura Endou. Endou. Wasn't there another Endou boy?"

"Yeah. He died 5 years ago."

The ground starts rumbling below Homura.

"I guess this is it."

"Not yet!"

Cherry appears out of nowhere. She picks up Homura and runs off.

Sasaki and Hoshiko keep trying to hit each other, but all it leads to is blocking and dodging.

Hoshiko tries to take a second to relax.

"Perfect, your tired again."

Sasaki attacks her by swinging his sword to her stomach powerful enough to make her fall back.

Although Hoshiko is tired, Sasaki used all his stamina to keep up with Hoshiko's light speed.

He is panting trying to catch his breath. He then falls down to his knees.

"I'm too tired. I can't carry on like this. If Hoshiko can carry on then it's all over."

Fireworks start flying up in the air. Everyone pauses to watch them. They explode releasing vibrant colours. Sasaki is confused.

"What is this?

The speakers on the island turn on.

"Kuragami Nozomi, Sasaki Bushida, Homura Endou and Cherry Hibana! Their team gains 50 points for defeating a Prodigy Disciple! This makes Isamu Saiko the first Prodigy Disciple to fall!"

"Wait. Isamu is down? So Homura and Cherry beat him them. I'm impressed."

Kuragami's face enlightens as he stops running to Daku.

"Let's go! We have a big advantage in points now!"

Daku is furious. He tries to detach himself from the mountain.

"Let my soul be one with yours!"

Kuragami uses coating again. He dashes to Daku at high speeds and he punches him into the mountain. The whole mountain starts to crack and then, it falls into pieces.

"Now it's my turn, -"

Sasaki stands up and raises his aura.

"Now it's my turn, -"

He sees Hoshiko standing up in front of him.

Both Sasaki and Kuragami say the same thing.

"To earn 50 points!"
