Chapter 10 - Competition Conclusion

Arashi and June feel their instincts heighten, sensing the menacing presence of their opponents. Johnny, too exhausted to continue, sits in the middle of the battlefield. June tells Arashi, "I'll take care of Johnny. You go fight them. We trust you."

FIGHT !

Arashi feels a surge of happiness at their trust. He steels himself and focuses on his two opponents. With June occupied with Johnny, Arashi must face both enemies alone.

Ashura taunts, "Hey kid, don't get too cocky. Here's my suggestion: act like you got hit by us and get yourself out of the ring. It will be better for everyone."

Arashi retorts, "Never settle for easy jobs at low rates."

Ashura begins to power up, shouting, "Utter level!!!" But he is abruptly silenced by a hard punch to his belly from Victor. Victor sneers, "Quit imitating me. Do you even have a life of your own?"

Furious, Ashura snaps, "Can't you let me take the shot?"

Victor gets irritated. He points a finger at Ashura and calmly says, "You're just an utter level trash." With a flick of his finger, a blinding flash engulfs the battlefield. The intensity shocks everyone, and when the light fades, Ashura is out of the ring. Victor has eliminated his own teammate.

The announcer is momentarily speechless, then exclaims, "This is insane! This is the first time a leader has kicked his own team member out of the ring in the middle of a battle!"

Arashi steps back, seeing the ominous black aura surrounding Victor. Fear grips him, but he steadies himself. Victor taunts, "At least Ashura was right. You should've left the fight."

Summoning his courage, Arashi strikes with his electric pulse kick. Victor's black fire ignites, burning Arashi's shoes mid-air, but the kick connects. Victor catches Arashi's leg, realizing his opponent has hidden potential.

Arashi, fueled by rage, launches a flurry of punches. Victor dodges effortlessly.

As Victor summoned the swirling darkness of his unique black fire technique, his intention to strike Arashi was clear. But Arashi, ever resourceful, tapped into a secret reservoir of energy within him. With a surge of adrenaline, his heart raced like thunder, sending bolts of bio-electricity crackling through his veins. The sudden surge of power ignited the moisture on his belly, Arashi blows steam across the battlefield with his mouth, That was his master plan.

Caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, Victor's attack missed its mark as Arashi swiftly evaded. Seizing the opportunity, Arashi retaliated with a devastating blow, channeling his electrified energy into a fierce impact that struck Victor square in the belly, sending shockwaves rippling through his body, Victor felt the searing pain, as if thrown into icy water while being pricked by sharp pins. Enraged, Victor punches Arashi in the face. Arashi channels his electric pulse into the punch through his cheeks, and the impact sends both flying.

Arashi collapses, unconscious,

Victor gasps for air, his chest heaving with exertion. The crowd holds its breath, eyes fixed on the two Star holders. Suddenly, Winston's voice booms through the arena,

"Don't call his elimination! I can feel it—he's still conscious!"

The tension is electric. Arashi's body trembles, then with a shocking burst of energy, he stands, a shimmering light aura enveloping him. The audience erupts in cheers and gasps, but their excitement is short-lived. In a blur of movement, Victor crashes into Arashi, slamming him to the ground with a force that shakes the arena.

Victor's eyes narrow with Shadow, it's his star awakening form. His body transforms, rocks levitating around him, scars glowing with an otherworldly energy. The transformation is awe-inspiring, almost god-like.

"Hush," Victor murmurs, his voice carrying a chilling finality. With a powerful strike, he sends Arashi spiraling into unconsciousness, the light aura flickering out. The crowd is left in stunned silence, witnessing Victor's overwhelming power and relentless spirit.

as the announcer coldly declares his elimination. Victor, breathing heavily, turns to June and Johnny. They, paralyzed with terror, cower before him, They accepted their defeat, unable to resist, Victor uses his flame attack, mercilessly driving them from the ring.

Victor emerges victorious in the competition. Winston observes with a blend of deep concern and profound relief, knowing that despite the intense battle, Arashi's team has secured second place, earning them a substantial reward of 50k S gems each.

Arashi awakens in a hospital bed, the crushing weight of his defeat heavy on his chest. "Maybe I wasn't enough," he mutters to himself, his voice filled with despair. Suddenly, Winston comes into the room, a broad smile on his face, holding a check. "Arashi, you've won 50k S gems," he says.

Arashi feels a flicker of happiness but quickly remembers his teammates. After being released from the hospital, he visits Johnny and June's house. He knocks on the door, and June opens it. "Come in," he says.

Inside, the mood is dark and depressing. Arashi, feeling guilty, says, "I am so sorry about the competition. I was too confident."

His words waves through the depressing air.

Suddenly, Johnny shouts, "SURPRISE!" and the room lights up. "Happy birthday, bro," Johnny says, smiling.

Arashi's heart warms as he realizes that despite their loss, the bond between them remains unbroken, Arashi is happy, Nice.
