The three matches start at the same time. The first combatants in each match can be noticed; it was Kevin vs. Bird Boy, Arthur vs. Luke, and finally Zack vs. Qats.

Arthur moved directly towards Luke, who in turn prepared a fire attack in the form of rings. Although Arthur was almost burned more than once, he did not suffer any serious damage as he approached Luke, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and if... Arthur had learned one thing over the past three months: he had to trust his intuition. So without any hesitation, he jumped high into the air before he felt intense heat pass beneath him. Locke had prepared this powerful attack very smoothly; in fact, if Arthur hadn't avoided it, This attack would have resulted in severe and dangerous burns. Did Luke intend to harm Arthur, or was he crazy enough to think that Arthur would not die thanks to the presence of the medical team? Well, whatever the reason, Arthur was sure that he should not underestimate this boy, even when he was exhausted. After dodging that attack, Arthur focused on finding out what kind of trick Luke had used while avoiding more spiral attacks. Then, in a split second, Arthur was able to glimpse a line of... Flames were running along the ground; that line was very thin and difficult to notice for those who, in an instant, became like a huge wall of searing flames.
Condemnation!
Thanks to noticing this important detail, Arthur avoided the thin line while quickly heading towards Luke, who changed his style and began to attack directly. Although his trick was discovered by the enemy, he did not lose focus and thought of an appropriate way to defend while preparing another plan. This is exactly what distinguishes the students of Pride of the Generation School as talented and hardworking children, but even with all these advantages, Arthur's strength and speed were on another level. In an instant, Arthur punched the floor and suddenly disappeared from Luke's sight.
"Where did he go?!"
Luke looked around madly, but he did not notice Arthur, as if he had disappeared from his place. This is impossible for him, so the only logical answer is
"Above me!" Luke looked up, but it was too late because Arthur was falling on him in the form of a punch radiating with pure energy. Then, in the next moment, the world turned upside down for the wizard boy because Arthur reduced the power of the energy gauntlet, and yet Luke's body could only quickly fly out. The ring before it falls into the water.
In this way, one of the three matches ended, but Arthur felt chills when he heard the sound of screaming.
-2-
The bird boy, as usual, began to insult his opponent.
"You're just an animal that can barely speak."
But before he finished speaking, he felt a frightening and heavy pressure coming from the young man in front of him. The bird boy's pupils quickly widened and turned vertical. Kevin smiled when he noticed the change in his opponent's position.
"You're an interesting person, but can you handle a monkey like me?"
Kevin laughed as he literally moved behind the bird boy, but to his surprise, the strange young man flew straight after he felt Kevin's presence behind him, then turned around to look at him, but he did not find anyone on the track.
"What... huh?"
In his confusion, the bird boy was tapped by Kevin's finger, which had jumped so high in the air that he was at the same height as the bird boy.
Right after he fell into the ring and was literally bruised everywhere, Tato touched his hand and chest only to feel a little pain, but this was enough to make his eyes red with anger. If he had suffered such an injury because of a beautiful and sexy girl, he would have forgiven the matter. But all this tragedy is because of a dirty scoundrel? This is a great insult to him. In his anger, Tato screamed loudly like a hawk thirsty to kill, then he moved forward at a 30-degree angle so that he could eliminate Kevin with one kick. After three seconds, Tato was on the same level as Kevin, but he had the advantage, so he gathered Most of his power was in his superhuman foot before he released it in the form of a kick as fast as a bullet but as devastating as a bomb, but what happened next made the bird boy worry because Kevin, who was supposed to be in the air with no way to move or attack, just put his hand in the place where Tato was. He directs the kick at him and then simply blocks the attack.
"Hell Bird!"
Tattoo felt confused by this scene. After all, he has the ability to launch an attack that can literally destroy 50% of anything by creating great pressure, but on the condition that the internal pressure of the target does not exceed a certain limit. Of course, he deliberately reduced that percentage to 5% in order to break one of my legs. The insolent monkey was in front of him, but to his surprise, his kick was simply caught. This was impossible and had never happened since the moment Tato awakened his ability. He had always been aware of how afraid others felt because of this, so he was only befriending birds.
"What should I do? I have to focus!"
Tato did not want to waste time remembering the past because he now had a person in front of him who had great internal pressure to resist 5% of the destructive ability, so without wasting any second, he used his second legs to crush his opponent by using 10% of the destructive ability, but Kevin stopped that attack as well before swinging Tattoo and then throwing him to the ground forcefully, but of course without causing him any harmful injury. Kevin's goal was to make the bird boy suffer a lot in order for him to mature and become stronger and better.
On the ground, Tato was looking at Kevin above him before he scattered some dust in Kevin's eyes through his white wings. Then he focused on bringing down Kevin Arthur after he increased his strength, but the result did not change, as Kevin's legs did not budge from their place. Kevin did not give up this attempt. He went unpunished as he grabbed Tato's wing and then threw it towards the water.
Up until now, Kevin had used the method of launching the power of waves at certain moments, but with Kevin's extensive experience in combat, every moment Tato decided to attack, Kevin used the power of the waves. Even at the moment when Tato obstructed Kevin's vision, he realized and predicted what the bird boy would try to do.
On the other side was Tato, who did not understand how a young teenager could have so much power. Would this monkey be a competitor with him?
This question was on Tato's mind the moment he saw Qats's terrifying power, but now he faces another interesting person.
"Let's see then."
Tato smiled and increased his power more and more. He quickly got up and attacked Kevin with a barrage of kicks, but Kevin dodged them all and even tapped Tato's forehead with his finger, sending him over the edge. Tato then hit the ring, breaking it in half before flying. Behind the rubble and disappearing from the sight of Kevin, who, although he now did not see his opponent, was still relaxed, he felt a shadow rising behind him, and in the next moment, Tato kicked Kevin five times in a row before kicking him a sixth time with 35% of the destructive capacity, but Kevin did not move. It was even as if he did not feel those attacks, but of course he did not let Tato hit him as he wanted, so he quickly turned and formed a punch in which he did not use the force of the waves but only through the natural strength of his body, so that punch was like being hit by a hammer.
Tato trembled but did not feel pain. In fact, he had not felt pain since he realized that this opponent was amazing. In his heart, he felt like he was going to fly with excitement.
"More!"
Tato increased his ability while attacking Kevin with a barrage of powerful kicks, all of which Kevin blocked, and at the same time he punished Tato for any mistake in his attacking position.
"More more!"
With each increase in Tato's strength, he felt that Kevin was beginning to decline a little.
"More, more, more, and more!"
Someone who could bear Tato's full power—did he really exist?
Yes ! This was the answer that the bird boy deduced as he focused on Kevin's flawless movements. Strong and fast, this was exactly who he was longing to face.
"There it is! 50%"
Finally, Tato used all his destructive power, only to see, for the first time since the beginning of the fight, that Kevin had done something strange. His power had increased for a moment before it disappeared, but Tato was not too sure because he was now flying away from the ring. In the silent scene, Tato watched Kevin's strange smile. It was a smile the likes of which he had never seen before.
He had seen the manager smile at him before; what did he say at that time?
Tato felt the cold water touch his body before he remembered,Oh yeah, he's probably proud of me."
With this, Tattoo fell into the water after the ring was destroyed, leaving only Kevin, who was standing on a piece of debris, but suddenly a loud and painful sound was heard. Kevin looked at the source of the sound and could hardly believe what he saw.

"According to his previous results, this person in front of me is considered very strong, so I must take advantage of him."
Zack was arranging his thoughts about how the match would go. If this boy called Qats was as strong as Kevin, Zack would gladly challenge him, but if not, it would be better for him to attack him here and now.
Without hesitation, Zack's body changed shape and began to swell, and his skin became more and more pale in color. Every time Zack used his supernatural ability, he felt as if his body was being drained of water, but at the same time, he could still sweat, which created a strange contradictory feeling. But Zack was accustomed to this. He did not approach his opponent immediately, but rather just watched him. But it seemed that the boy, Qats, did not move either. He did not even look at Zack, but rather looked at the sky, and Zack was not his opponent, but only the sky was worthy of Qats looking at. In that situation, it's normal for anyone to feel insulted, but Zack was just feeling weird at how much this kid was belittling him. A mistake like that on a real battlefield would mean death. Even if your opponent was weaker than you, such childish behavior would only be a hindrance for the hero, so he decided. Zack decided to exploit this matter to his advantage by injuring his body for a few moments in order to trick his body into thinking that he was being attacked. The matter succeeded, and Zack's cells began to become stronger than ever before. Thanks to all those battles, Zack's body had witnessed a qualitative change. There was a huge leap in its strength and solidity.
After making sure and preparing, Zack devised a simple plan where he would try to trick Qats with a fake attack and then drag him to use a barrage of attacks on him, which would make him lose energy, and then he would become just an easy morsel. But the moment Zack's foot moved, he felt intense pressure coming from Qats, an evil pressure, but it was not... Malicious, heavy pressure, but not filled with killing intent or blood
"What is this?"
In the next moment, Zack saw something emerging and forming in front of him. It was that black energy forming in the shape of an arrow. In his astonishment, Zack realized that he was being targeted, so he avoided the attack, but then he was exposed to a barrage of attacks, some of which succeeded in injuring him, but that injury only made his body stronger. It is true that he will lose some blood because he cannot regenerate his body, but with the increase in the hardening ability, the wounds and injuries are bound together under the pressure of hardening, but the fact remains that Qats used a dangerous attack like this, which is just terrifying.
"He really has no mercy."
Zack thought for a moment, but was interrupted by Qats, who formed a spear of black energy, and in the same way as before, he caused serious wounds and injuries to Zack, but the young man with the strange hairstyle was only benefiting more and more from all that pain and those injuries.
It was time for Zack to start attacking, so he first implemented the plan, but the situation did not go smoothly because that black energy was only launching a long-range attack repeatedly, and somehow the damage of the attack was also increasing. But the worst thing was that Qats, from the beginning of the match, did not stop attacking. Staring at the sky, this just shows that he has a high degree of control over his ability, or that it is an automatic ability.
As for Zack, he decided to throw all his plans away and go directly to Qats . The scene was bloody and terrible, as the boy with the strange hairstyle was seriously injured while indifferently approaching his opponent, who had not even looked at him since the beginning of the match.
With every step, the intensity, speed, and quality of the attack increased more and more, but Zack did not care about that. He was like a man of war walking towards the enemy, despite all the arrows piercing his back. With every step, Zack felt that he was adjusting to the increase in the strength of that attack. Then, with every step further, he felt himself getting better at repelling that attack, and with every further step, he felt his stamina reaching a new level.
Finally, Zack reached Qats and formed a powerful punch heading straight for Qats's jaw, but before the punch reached the halfway point, there was something preventing Zack from continuing. Something strange happened, and it seemed cursed. There was a hand that had been formed from black energy, and it was that hand. Zack's attack stopped easily.
Finally, Qats felt that he had not heard the winner's words yet, which meant that his opponent had not surrendered yet, so he looked forward, and the first thing he saw was Zack's eyes staring at him coldly. Qats looked down at the dark hand before returning his gaze to Zack and saying,
"Good, now die."
With this, another hand appeared behind Qats and headed towards Zack, who changed his defensive position and decided to confront this attack with a stronger attack. Zack was able to stop the hand, but quickly a third hand appeared and was able to hit him, but Zack did not mind this, despite the pain. He did not blink and remained focused. They tried to attack Qats, but a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh hand all appeared to stop Zack and beat him.
The scene was painful to watch. Zack endured all this attack silently while maintaining his concentration. He felt like he was close to victory. He just had to adapt to these attacks, but how long could he endure them?
"Fuck these negative thoughts."
Suddenly Zack started screaming, but it wasn't a cry of despair; it was a battle cry. He was strengthening his mind and spirit. In the midst of all these powerful and fast attacks, Zack was standing like a warrior. Then suddenly, he could feel the development in his body. He moved forward even more. He was able to withstand those attacks and could now fight without even feeling any more pain. He looked at Qats, who still showed a cold look. He looked at him happily because he was able to catch up with such a talented person.
"Pathetic"
Zack heard Qats speak words he did not understand before he saw a frightening black shape appear behind him. The shape was growing from a mere dot to the shape of a muscular human body.
"A villager like you needs to be reprimanded by the minister."
"Huh?"
Zack did not understand the meaning of Qats's words, but he definitely felt a suffocating pain in his right arm the moment that black thing disappeared. Zack looked to the right to find that black figure just pressing down on Zack's arm.
Immediately, Zack tried to move away, but he could not move. Then he tried to attack, but he was literally hitting the void, as if that black shape was just an illusion, but it was an illusion so real that it caused this hideous pain.
In the next moment, the figure raised his leg and kicked Zack's side with such force that he created a hole in the floor of the ring.
Although there was no referee on the roof of the ring, the referee was still watching the match progress while speaking through the loudspeaker, and the only thing he was saying was that Zack had lost, but Qats did not expect, or rather, that black thing advanced towards Zack. He raised his healthy left arm before breaking it in a slow and painful way that made Zack feel as if he was in hell. All of his fingers were shattered before his hand, then his arm, then his shoulder were repaired, but despite all this, Zack never screamed, but rather was in pain in silence until... The moment when the black figure raised his foot and scratched Zack's back
Zack felt like a huge hammer was hitting him. His back wasn't broken, but he felt like it was being violently shaken. Then the dark figure continued to strike, crushing Zack mercilessly. To the viewer, these attacks should be acceptable. Since Zack did not scream in pain, no one knew that Zack was currently in danger of becoming paralyzed, despite all the strength and solidity of his body.
Zack realized that his career would be over before it had even begun, so before he reached this stage, Zack screamed loudly, but it was not a battle cry but rather a cry of despair.
