My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 448 Back To Square One
The entire audience cheered so enthusiastically after the sudden upset of the match. They couldn't believe that such a shift in the weather would give Kurogami the greatest advantage.
If it weren't for that, he would've lost big time. After all, Midori had more sustainability thanks to his berserker and ultra-healing superpower.
In the midst of the people who were cheering, there was one student who was screaming his cheers louder than the rest.
It was none other than Hiroshi who lost his match during the first round of the 'seating arrangement tournament'.
Since he lost his match, he had no choice but to stay in his seat right beside Midori. But now that Midori lost, that means he would be beside Kurogami instead.
Hiroshi's opponent, Sakura Cherry, pouted when she realized what just happened. That would put Midori right behind her, and she regretted winning that match.
Then again, they could still challenge another person after this round so Cherry could still challenge someone else and exchange seats with him or her if she wins.
"On second thoughts... I'm sure my classmates would challenge each other. I guess I won't challenge anyone then. They're bound to switch places and it might put Midori on a different seat." Cherry said to herself. Google search f𝙧ee𝔀𝑒𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝑒Ɩ. 𝑐𝘰𝒎
But if there was no one who would challenge anyone after the first round of matches, then Cherry would be left with no choice but to challenge someone else.
...
After a quick intermission break, Fuuka and Satoshi walked towards the center of the stage as the crowd went wild for the umpteenth time today. This time, they were really screaming since Satoshi was a famous student in the United Superheroes Academy.
The majority of the spectators were looking forward to seeing Satoshi fight.
There were also familiar faces in the audience, and it didn't surprise Satoshi when she saw them.
Right on the front seats were his parents. Aira was there too, keenly watching Satoshi as he walked to the center of the stage.
Satoshi rubbed the tip of his nose to hide his embarrassment. There was no way he could lose now. His parents were watching after all.
For a moment, he remembered the first time when he fought in this very Coliseum. At that time, he was just a novice when it came to using his superpower. And he only had his familiar 'Nailgun' back there. That was also the first time he won, and it was his proudest moment in front of his parents.
Satoshi couldn't help but smile as he assumed his position on one end of the stage.
"P-p-please take care of me!" Fuuka said out loud as if she was asking Satoshi out on a date.
"O-ou~" Satoshi didn't know what to say, so he let out an exhale in response.
From afar, two men wearing a pair of suits sat down right behind the Midoriyama duo. They wore sunglasses despite the light drizzle of rain.
Just like the Midoriyama duo, they closely watched the match.
Fuuka noticed them as well, and she turned away before they noticed that she was looking at them.
Once again, Knighthawk raised his hand before he gave the signal to start the match. A smile appeared on his face.
"Once again, let me remind everyone that the use of tamed beasts is not allowed in the matches," Knighthawk said.
The audience started booing Knighthawk but there were some who wanted to see Satoshi fight even without his overpowered superpower. It didn't take long before the booing died down, and the majority of the audience became even more invested in the upcoming match.
As for Satoshi, he briefly glanced at his parents and forced a smile on his face. It had only been half a year since he discovered his superpower. Now, he was reminded of his own powerlessness once again.
After all, without his tamed beasts, he was just an ordinary human. There was no way he could win against Fuuka who was adept in sound manipulation and spatial manipulation.
"I'm going to try my best. If anything, I'm sure I've grown these past few months. I haven't stopped training my body to the limit." Satoshi muttered to himself.
Finally, Knighthawk brought his hand down. "Fight start!" He announced.
Fwip~
Fwip~!
The first thing that Fuuka and Satoshi did was jump a step backward to avoid any surprise attack coming from the other party.
As soon as he did so, Albrecht brought his center of gravity even lower by crouching down. This gave him mobility since he'd be using all of his four appendages to propel himself in any direction.
This was the first time Fuuka saw such a technique and it bothered her a little bit. But that didn't stop her from putting a couple of sound traps and spatial traps in the air. If triggered, these traps would explode either with a deafening sound or a space explosion which would eat away at a certain portion of the air.
Any part of Satoshi's body would disappear in an instant if he were caught in a space trap. As for the sound trap, it was enough to shatter Satoshi's eardrums and send him flying.
"Bring it on." Albrecht gritted his teeth as he charged forward. On his way forward, he grabbed a handful of sand on the ground.
With his keen sense, which he owned during his physical training, he was able to dodge a couple of traps here and there. It was easy enough to dodge since the traps didn't move at all, and it takes Fuuka a full second to put another trap in the air. That was more than enough time for Satoshi to sense it and avoid it.
From the audience's perspective, it might seem like Fuuka was just waving her hands around while Satoshi danced on the battlefield. It was a boring match, so Knighthawk decided to give an explanation.
"Fuuka is an expert in space manipulation. She's setting up traps that could obliterate space, and Satoshi is dodging all of them." He relayed.
Once he was only a couple of steps from Fuuka, Satoshi twisted his core and hurled the handful of sand and dust he collected.
It triggered a lot of sound and spatial traps. His gesture should've sent him flying, but he crouched low enough to avoid all of the traps.
To everyone's surprise, it was Fuuka who was sent flying. Fortunately, she managed to catch herself before she flew out of bounds. Satoshi used her traps against her.
"I had to do what I could... otherwise I'd lose." Satoshi grinned at Fuuka before launching another counterattack.
