At the bottom right-hand side of Grava Tower, Elias is rushing full speed toward it despite his many injuries.
"I have to find those stupid people he was talking about! There at the top of that tower, Strout, I will not fail you!" Strout speaks to himself.
Behind Elias, Killer is pursuing him at a moderate pace.
"..."
Behind Killer Kage, Unknown, and Seth are in pursuit as well.
At the same time, on the west side of Grava City, a battle between Hunter and the rest of the students of Grava Academy is reaching its climax little by little.
Currently, Blaze and Hunter are currently in a one-on-one.
"Hahaha!"
With injuries and blood all over his body, Blaze is currently running from Hunter while staying on defense.
"How long was I on offense again? Like 12 minutes at most ever since then all I've done is run and block!" Blaze yells as he uses the accelerate technique to avoid two fireballs from Hunter.
"Hahaha! Where are you going? You know running away only makes me more excited, right? I love it when they run!" Hunter screams from the sky above Blaze.
Hunter creates multiple lighting clouds and starts raining down bolts of lightning.
Blaze stops running and then points his palm to the sky.
"Sound barrier!"
All the bolts of lightning hit Blaze's sound barrier directly.
"Shit, some of the electricity is going to seep through!" Blaze says in a panic.
Suddenly the lightning breaks the sound barrier and electrocutes Blaze.
"Ahhh!" Blaze screams in pain.
Blaze falls to his knees with burns all across his body.
"When I said feel the electricity, this is not what I meant," Blaze says with an exhausted expression.
"Hahaha, what a pity I wanted to continue our game of hide and seek a little bit longer, but I guess every game of mice and cats has to come to an end eventually," Hunter says in a menacing tone as he floats down to the ground.
"Oh, don't you dare look down on the rock and roll star Blaze; I'll make you regret it!" Blaze says in an offended tone.
Blaze grips his guitar and strums it once.
"Sound burst!"
Blaze releases a shockwave from his guitar strum and blows Hunter away.
"Dying later still counts as dying dumbass; just quit it already!" Hunter yells as he plants his feet on the ground.
"Kiai!"
Suddenly Kai jumps off of a pile of rubble and kicks Hunter in the head.
"There wasn't enough power in that attack," Kai exclaims with a disappointed expression.
"Hahaha! Yes! You're back shirtless, man. I've been waiting! Now use it! Use that colorful punch on me again; I want to feel it! That amazing feeling of near death! I need it!" Hunter shouts at the top of his lungs.
Hunter grabs Kai by the leg and throws him over to Blaze.
"Nice for you to join the party you disciplined, Gorilla!" Blaze exclaims as he stumbles back to his feet.
"Thank you for joining the battle, Blaze. I said some harsh words to you back then. I don't regret them, but I apologize," Kai says as he begins to jump up and down while rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck.
"Yeah, go to hell with that sucky apology. I take no offense to anything you said. Let's just snuff out the electricity of this crazy son of a bitch..."
Blaze raises his guitar high into the sky and then slams it onto the ground, sending a huge shockwave at Hunter.
"With our own!" Blaze screams passionately.
"Right!" Kai exclaims as he rushes forward with the accelerate technique.
"Hahaha! Yes! Another two-v-one—don't tease me with such excitement! Give me your all!" Hunter shouts as he scratches his neck.
Hunter rushes toward Kai as he rushes toward him, but then his right leg gets torn to shreds.
Kai jumps up and knees Hunter in the face as he loses his balance.
"Kiai!"
Kai lands back on the ground and instantly kicks Hunter in the jaw at full force.
After Kai's onslaught of attacks, Blaze chases Hunter down with the accelerate technique.
"A duo with such a disciplined motherfucker! What a combo!" Blaze shouts as he puts up a rock and roll symbol with his left hand and sticks out his tongue.
With his right hand, Blaze grips his guitar and, with a spin, smacks Hunter into a building.
"Haha! Don't get cocky!" Hunter says as he vanishes and reappears behind Blaze.
Blaze quickly puts his left arm up to block a punch from Hunter.
"Well, you like to hide a lot of your true power; how can I avoid getting cocky, you sick bastard?" Blaze remarks.
"Heh, you're funny for a flamboyant stripper!"
As Hunter and Blaze clash, Kai jumps in and punches Hunter multiple times in the rib.
"Don't let up Blaze! He might be a feared legend, but he isn't unbeatable!" Kai exclaims.
"Yeah, yeah, I know bossy much!" Blaze says as he backs away from Hunter.
Kai pulls back his left arm so fast that the movement isn't visible and pulls Hunter closer to him.
"Vacuum punch!"
Kai sends a gust of wind in the shape of a fist, which hits Hunter directly and tears apart his stomach.
"Haha! That's down tough sh—"
As Hunter speaks, a bullet suddenly goes through his head.
"A gunshot?" Kai says with a confused expression.
Blaze looks over to where the bullet came from, and he sees Aurora in a tall building with a sniper mounted on the window seal.
Aurora puts a thumbs up when Blaze notices her.
"Well, ain't that some shit!" Blaze exclaims.
Blaze turns toward Hunter and inhales.
"Let's rock!" Blaze screams with the sound of his voice amplified.
Blaze's amplified voice tears Hunter's body into shreds.
"Good job, Blaze!" Kai yells.
Kai gets close and personal with Hunter and hits him with a left hook and then a right hook.
"Keep on the pressure we got to keep him from fully regenerating," Kai says with a determined look in his eyes.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Liz rushes onto the battlefield with her pupils shaped like broken hearts.
"How dare you reject me!" Liz screams.
Liz rushes past. Kai manifests a dark broken heart in her hand and smacks Hunter with it, sending him flying.
"Liz?"
"Hey, Kai!"
Kai looks behind him and sees Dexter also entering the battlefield.
"What's up, dude? I'm glad we made it in time!" Dexter says with sweat sliding down his face.
"Wait, you all beat Hunter's beast?"
"Yeah, it's all thanks to Aurora; she's a badass!" Dexter says ecstatically.
"Yes, I know, but Liz?" Kai asks with a concerned expression.
"It's fine I activated her power by answering her question. Aurora says both of us will be useful fighting Hunter since Liz's broken hearts debuff whatever they hit, and my cursed lag ability will make his powers go haywire for sure!" Dexter says in a positive tone.
"That's good, but you really denied Liz?" Kai asks.
"Well, I had no choice in the matter; it's life or death," Dexter says in a conflicted tone.
Kai jumps into his fighting stance.
"Yeah, you're right. Let's just take this feared legend down!" Kai says confidently.
"That's a pretty tall task right there, but yeah, let's do it."
In the direction where Liz threw Hunter, Liz is chasing him down.
"How dare you reject me!" Liz screams with tears in her eyes.
Liz jumps up and smacks Hunter with a broken heart again.
Blade rushes over to where Hunter gets thrown and readies his guitar.
"I don't know how your dumbass power works, but you rock!" Blaze screams as he smacks Hunter in the back with his guitar.
Hunter gets sent flying to the ground, and instantly his body begins to regenerate.
"Damn, he ain't ever going down, is he?" Blaze asks as he breathes heavily.
Kai and Dexter join Liz and Blaze and surround Hunter.
"So that's him, the feared legend who killed someone as strong as the beast king. This has to be the boss battle of the century," Dexter says in an excited but terrified tone.
"Yes, let's not take him lightly! We must hit him hard and fast or he'll never go down!" Kai commands everyone.
Hunter begins to rise with his body fully regenerating. Suddenly everyone in the area feels a shift in their body.
"Did my speed just drop?" Blaze asks himself.
"This must be..." Dexter thinks to himself.
"His malice technique!" Kai shouts.
"Hahaha! You damn children really think that just because you add more people to your ass-whooping session, things will change! Do you think that crazy bitch weakened me enough to make the battle easier?" Hunter says with a menacing prescience.
As Hunter exudes his malice technique, everyone in the area's speed continues to drop. Hunter begins to smile maniacally as his OGI tank expands.
"I'm going to brutalize all of you damn brats!" Hunter screams with a terrifying chuckle.
"Shit! Shit! I feel like it's going to take me five years to take a step! If he attacks, I'll be done for," Dexter thinks to himself.
"His first attack! That's what's important right now! Whoever he attacks first decides the tide of the rest of this battle," Aurora remarks as she watches from afar.
Aurora adjusts her sniper and aims at Hunter's head once again.
Back on the battlefield, Hunter begins to look around at all his opponents with a smile.
"Eeny," Hunter says as he points at Kai.
"Meeny," Hunter says as he points at Liz.
"Miny," Hunter says as he points at Dexter.
"Moe," Hunter says as he points at Blaze.
"What does he think this is some type of game?" Blaze asks himself as sweat begins to ruin his face paint.
"What little shit will I leave begging for death first?" Hunter says with a ferocious look on his face.
Hunter looks at the tall building Aurora is currently in.
"Found you!" Hunter screams as he forms a giant lightning bolt in his hand.
Hunter launches the lightning bolt at the building at full velocity.
"Stop hiding, brat!"
"He's going for me first!" Aurora shouts as she quickly abandons her position.
Aurora rushes towards a window with a calm expression. She deconstructs a vase and a dresser on her way to the window with her right hand.
"I have about four seconds at most," Aurora says in a calm tone.
Aurora creates a miniature trampoline with her left hand and instantly jumps on it while rushing forward into the window.
Aurora bounces into the window, using her body to break through the glass. The very next second, the building gets smacked by Hunter's lightning bolt and explodes.
"Barly made it," Aurora says as she creates a parachute with her right hand and safely floats to the ground.
"She's ok," Dexter shouts while releasing a breath of relief.
Dexter looks back forward and realizes everyone else is rushing at Hunter.
"Oh crap, I got distracted!" Dexter says in a shocked tone.
Kai, Blaze, and Liz all attack Hunter all at once.
"Haha! This is my favorite part!"
Hunter weaves out of a broken heart attack from Liz, catches a punch from Kai, and uses the flex technique to tank a sound attack from Blaze.
"Haha! Yes! Yes!"
Hunter headbutts Kai, backkicks Blaze, and then catches Liz by the waist when she tries to attack him again.
"I will make you pay for breaking my heart," Liz exclaims.
"Haha, you're worried about your heart when you should be worried about the back of your neck! You chumps crack me up!" Hunter remarks.
"The back of her neck?" Kai, Blaze, and Dexter ask themselves.
Hunter jumps up and throws Liz over his shoulder with her front facing the sky.
"Now break!'
Hunter jolts backward and mercifully slams the back of Liz's neck onto the cold, concrete ground.
"Ahhh!" Liz shrieks in pain.
Hunter stands back up, leaving Liz knocked out on the ground.
"In one shot!" everyone but Hunter shouts.
"Ha! Knocked that bitch out in one shot. Now who wants to get hunted next?" Hunter aggressively yells.
Kai rushes over to Hunter, but before he even gets there, Hunter shoots multiple sharp needles from his body.
"This battle just got a whole lot harder," Kai says as his body gets multiple needles stabbed into it.
Blaze rushes at Hunter from behind and swings his guitar full force at his head.
"If I amp the sound of the guitar coming in contact with his head to a new level, I can at least stun him!" Blaze thinks to himself.
Hunter swiftly catches Blaze's guitar before it hits him and snatches it out of his hands.
"What are you going to do without this pathetic instrument of yours?" Hunter says as he begins to bend the guitar.
"Don't you dare you, son of a bitch!" Blaze says as he clinches his fist in anger.
Hunter snaps Blaze's guitar into two and disrespectfully throws it to the ground.
"That guitar cost more than your life, asshole!" Blaze holars.
"And what are you going to do about it?"
"I'll show you! No one disrespects my guitar!" Blaze shouts as he rushes at Hunter.
With each step Blaze takes, he sends sound shockwaves at Hunter.
"Haha! Yes, get angry and attack me with everything you got!"
As Hunter and Blaze go at it, Kai is on the sidelines, pulling needles out of his body.
"He's barely breaking a sweat against us; we're never going to beat him in a straightforward fight or a fight in endurance, but what choice do we have?" Kai says as he clinches in pain after pulling needles out of his leg.
At the same time, Dexter looks at the battle between Hunter and Blaze with a focused expression.
"For fucks sake, can this dude slow down with us because I'm about to rage quit damn it! All I want to do is get in close so I can force him to lag! If I somehow apply my lag, I can change this whole battle around!" Dexter thinks to himself.
In the battle between Blaze and Hunter, Blaze is trying his hardest to leave damage on Hunter.
"How are your dumbass eardrums not busted yet?" Blaze exclaims.
Blaze punches Hunter in the chest and with sound tears through it.
"Are you strong enough to take that punch back, brat?" Hunter asks as he grabs Blaze by the left arm.
"Yes!"
Hunter knees Blaze's elbow, breaking his entire arm, and then slams the back of his fist on his head, knocking his skull loose.
Blaze's back hits the ground, leaving his body in shambles.
"Now tell me how you feel now, you flamboyant stripper." Hunter asks as he charges a giant fireball in his mouth.
With his body in terrible shape, Blaze struggles to move his head to look Hunter in the eyes.
"You want to know how I'm feeling? I'm feeling the internal electricity of King Blaze flowing through me! Suck my fat dick if you feel a way bitch!" Blaze states in a cocky tone.
Hunter fires a fireball at Blaze, which explodes and sends him flying.
"Ahhh!"
Blaze hits the ground, completely knocked out.
"Hey, you two dumbass! You know sneaking up on me won't do anything for you," Hunter remarks.
Hunter looks around him and sees Marfumi, who just returned to the battlefield, and Dexter. Dexter is on his left, while Marfumi is above him.
"Damn it, I thought I could sneak up on him with my lightspeed!" Marfumi thinks to himself.
"Wait, when did Marfumi get here?" Dexter asks.
Hunter blows both of them away by growing tentacles out of his back.
Marfumi uses his light manipulation to back away from Hunter.
"That malice technique is lowering base speed, but it's okay; my light manipulation should keep me ahead of hi—"
As Marfumi speaks, Hunter gets directly in front of him and grabs him by the mouth.
"How long did you think that lightspeed was going to save you, brat? You should have stayed hidden," Hunter says as he backhands Marfumi multiple times at high speed.
After Hunter's smacks eventually daze Marfumi and leave him bloody, Hunter drops him.
"Now go take a nap!"
As Marfumi falls to the ground, Hunter turns his arm into a giant, sharp fingernail and stabs him through the stomach.
"It was fun while it lasted!"
Hunter throws him off the nail in a pile of rubble, knocking him out.
The very second Marfumi passes out, Hunter turns around and forms a lightning bolt in his hand. Hunter throws the lightning bolt at Dexter, who was trying to sneak up on him.
"Damn it, game over!" Dexter shouts.
"I saw your power through the Drabinu I created. I'm no fool!" Hunter remarks in a menacing tone.
The lighting bolt splits into five smaller ones and hits Dexter directly.
"Ahhh!"
Dexter falls to the ground knocked out cold with multiple injuries all over his body.
"And then there was one," Hunter says as he walks past all his knocked-out opponents to get to Kai.
Kai is currently struggling to stand with his multiple injuries slowing him down.
"Well, it looks like this battle is over, and when I was having fun too," Hunter says as he stands over Kai with a diblacoul tone.
Kai breathes heavily and begins to look up at Hunter.
"It doesn't matter how strong you're, I'll ne—Wait, what's that?" Kai says in confusion.
"What's what?" Hunter asks as he looks behind him.
When Hunter looks behind him, he sees a huge monstrous figure behind him that has red eyes.
"Hahaha! Wow, I love it when it gets intriguing again!"
