"I- Impossible, I swear I burnt him to crisp." Hirihito felt fear.
He shook the fear off as he cannot let his anger take the best of him. The flames slowly start to disappear and Matsuda's sword began to ignite, the flames had transferred onto his sword.
"Though I did manage to absorb most of the flames, it still got me. I felt all the rage in that fire." Matsuda said.
Suzune's eyes glistened as she witnessed Matsuda standing up right again. "I knew you wouldn't kick the bucket too easily." Suzune thought, smiling.
"Man you ruined my perfectly long hair, you know how long it took to grow that?" Matsuda said angrily yet in a calm tone.
"Now it's my turn!" Matsuda shouted.
He bent to a stance and gathered energy, enough energy to create one powerful burst. The flames grew bigger and started to take the form of a dragon. Hirihito looked at Matsuda with an angry look and ignited his fist.
"You're life ends here!" Hirihito yelled.
His right hand ignited and it took the shape similar to a lion's head. Saori passes out from the intense heat, while Suzune tries to keep her composure.
Matsuda sprinted towards Hirihito with pure anger, Hirihito sprinted towards Matsuda as well. "What is this feeling? I've never felt this hyped before." Hirihito thought.
Suddenly a sudden faint memory flashes before Hirihito's eyes, Matsuda started to resemble a familiar figure. It felt strange, he felt something new, it's unlike anything he's felt.
But he snapped back and continued sprinting. "Prepare to meet your demise Matsuda!" He yelled.
"The punch of the Inferno King!" "Draconic Inferno Cleave!" They both yelled in unison.
Hirihito's fist clashed with Matsuda's sword, the immense clash shook the entirety of Japan. A sudden bright light emerges from the clash, Matsuda saw his sword snapping in two. "When a vessel is given too much power, it breaks." Hirihito said.
But Matsuda didn't give up and slashed down into his torso. Hirihito quickly punched Matsuda on his chest and knocks him back.
Hirihito fell onto his knees and coughed up blood, "T- that b- brat... he cut m- me." Hirihito thought.
Hirihito hyperventilated and he grinned, "That kid, he d- doesn't give up." Hirihito said.
Just when Hirihito got up a massive shadow obstructed the sunlight. It was a massive bird, but it was no ordinary bird, it was demonic.
"Hirihito Yūma, you have immense power, High IQ, and intense speed. Come join us, so your power won't be wasted." The demonic bird said.
Hirihito started laughing "Like hell I would, why would I do something so foolish like that. Honestly if you think you can bribe me to joining you, you can go and f**k yourself."
"Very well then, you have chosen the wrong path, why waste your talent in this rotten association, when you can shine in my side." The demonic bird said.
Hirihito started to get a bit annoyed from the repeated bribing "Rotten Association? Speak for yourself, I bet you aren't even here, you're a coward and I'll make sure you rot in hell. Tsukimichi..." Hirihito suddenly ignited his fist again.
"Serpent Bind" Suddenly flames that resemble that of a serpent emerged from his hand and trapped the demonic bird.
"I'll make sure you not only hear my message, I'll make sure you feel it. ROT IN HELL!" Hirihito shouted.
He sent out a powerful burst of flames and it burnt the Bird to nothing but ashes.
*Demon Lord's Lair*
Suddenly the Demon Lord's face started burning. He felt every inch of that flame, he was in agony.
"Master are you okay?" A woman rushed over to him.
"You are dead to me, Hirihito Yūma!" The Demon Lord shouted.
*Back to the DHA HQ*
The office and even the hallway was in shambles, every window was shattered, the walls were torched, fallen debris everywhere.
Matsuda was unconscious on the ground, he was still breathing but he is suffering fatal injuries that could end his life if not treated immediately.
"Hey, you. The girl that Matsuda is always with. Take him to the clinic, if he is in a worse condition we may have to bring him to the hospital." Hirihito said.
Suzune picked up Matsuda and walked all the way to the clinic. Everything else besides the top floor miraculously survived with no visible damage whatsoever.
"Hirihito-sama!" Both Captain Hiroshi and Miss Chevious said in unison.
"Please stop calling me that!" Hirihito shouted.
"And yes I'm fine, these injuries will heal up soon." Hirihito reassured them.
"I take it as Matsuda defeated you?" Captain Hiroshi said.
"Well not technically, but he has proven his worth in this Association, therefore I give you permission to pursue this act!" He said.
"Although the demon lord won't give in easily, if I know him clearly, I know wouldn't let us pursue this act too easily, he probably has henchmen around Japan, if he even is in Japan. For all we know he could be in another country spreading demons everywhere." Hirihito gave them the bad news.
"This won't be just some walk in the park nor some A rank mission, this'll be an all out war between the DHA and the Demon Lord's army." Hirihito said.
