Chapter 87 - (Chapter 88) {Fight for Victory!}

Scene – Doramai StadiumStudents are fighting in the ongoing tournament. After many rounds, it's finally Aquira's turn.

Khan: So Aquira from Class 1 will fight against Class 7's "Himatoru."Tain: Anything can happen, but in terms of experience, Himatoru is far ahead of Aquira.Pil: Are both of you ready?Aquira & Himatoru: Yes!Pil: Then… Start!

Scene – Their fight begins.

Himatoru: Hurricane!Scene – A fast tornado-like wind falls from the sky and hits Aquira, pushing her back onto the ground.

Himatoru: Hmph! Bad match-up for you. Today you lose—because I'm the one who will claim victory!

Just then, Aquira suddenly vanishes and appears behind him.

Aquira: The match isn't over yet.Himatoru: !?

Aquira punches him, sending him flying backward. Then she uses her skill—

Aquira: Partial Reap!Scene – Himatoru's body gets trapped inside a silver sheet-like binding, and an iron ring forms around him, capturing him completely.

Pil: I don't think Himatoru can escape from that. So the victory goes to Aquira!Aquira: Yes!Tain: Aquira won this one pretty easily. But Khan, what happened to your "experience" prediction?Khan: Well, I said—until a match ends, anything can happen. So…Tain: Ya-ya sure… Sir Rana, what do you think about this match?Rana: I think this year's students are very powerful. They're easily defeating even 6th–7th class students.Tain: True that.

Khan: Moving on to the next match—Class 1B's Nimi vs Class 4A's "Paki."Scene – Both walk onto the field.

Pil: Ready?Everyone: Yes!Pil: Then… start!

Nimi: Mare of Water: Water Mirage!A wave of water appears and hits Paki, pushing her back. Paki counters—

Paki: Flame Block!A flaming block appears and rushes toward Nimi. Nimi dodges just in time.

Paki: …"WIRE THROW!"Lots of wires appear, slashing toward Nimi. Nimi dodges them, but the wires keep attempting to cut her.

Nimi (thinking): Maybe those wires are poisoned… I can't let them touch me!

Nimi: Wall of Flame: Hell Door!A huge burning door appears, and two fire-covered wolves rush out toward Paki. Paki dodges the first one, but the second wolf bites her, burning that part of her body.

Paki: Agh…!Nimi: Accept your defeat.Paki: Not yet! Sun Blast!

A massive blast explodes above Nimi, covering the area in thick fog. When the fog clears, Nimi is nowhere to be found—until she suddenly appears right in front of Paki.

Nimi: Flame Roar Thrown: Gengun!Nimi places her hand on Paki's chest and unleashes a powerful force that sends Paki flying into the wall. She crashes and becomes unconscious.

Pil: Winner—Nimi!Nimi: Yess…!

Khan: Honestly, I don't have much to comment on this match, but I didn't understand that final attack. Sir Rana, can you explain?Rana: The last attack—and all the others—were illusions.Tain: What…?!Rana: To the enemy and viewers, the attacks seem real and cause damage, but all of them are fake. Escaping her illusion is extremely difficult.Tain: But when did Nimi create the illusion?Rana: Even a simple handshake is enough to trigger an illusion—and they shook hands before the match began.Khan: And the final attack?Rana: Like I said, everything was an illusion. All the attacks Nimi used were her own illusion creations, so even I don't know their details.Tain: I see… but you're an illusion maker yourself, and Nimi is your daughter.Rana: That doesn't mean I know every single attack she creates.Tain: Right…

Khan: Anyway, moving on—next match: Class 1B's Shai vs Class 3's Filor.Scene – Shai and Filor enter the field.

Pil: Ready?Everyone: Yes!Pil: Then… start!

The fight begins. Filor attacks first—

Filor: Shadow Nick!His shadow rushes toward Shai and slips into her body.

Filor: Hmm! Easy win.

But that was Shai's afterimage. Suddenly, the real Shai appears beside Filor.

Filor: ! W–What?!Shai: Space Ball!A small ball appears on Shai's fingertip. She throws it at Filor, but he dodges. The attack hits the ground—and the ground completely shatters, breaking apart.

Pil, Khan, Tain, and Rana: !

Pil: Wait…!Shai: ?Pil: Shai is disqualified.Shai: Huh?! But why?!Pil: It was clearly stated at the start—this tournament is NOT a death game. And you used an attack that could kill.Shai: But he dodged it, right?!Pil: And what if he hadn't?Shai: Th–That…!Filor: So… does that mean I win?Pil: Yes.

Tain: Shai shouldn't have used such a powerful attack with that level of force.Khan: Right.Rana: But it is true he's powerful. He shouldn't be in a school tournament—he should be sent to the kingdom tournament.Tain & Khan: Oh yeah…

Khan: Now let's call the next match—Class 1B's Pretty vs Class 6C's Virat.Scene – Pretty and Virat enter the field.

Pil: Both ready?Everyone: Yes!

Pil: Then… start!
