"You're strong, but I'll defeat you." With his hands in his pockets, Iori Yagami stood upright and looked at Sei Itō coolly as if he was stating a fact.
"I'm looking forward to it," Sei Itō, who didn't make any starting gesture, said with a smile.
Iori Yagami gazed at Sei Itō quietly and didn't say anything. Instead, he bent his knees slightly, lowered his body, and spread his hands in front of him, making a stance unique to the Yagami School.
Sei Itō didn't change his posture and looked at him with a smile.
Iori Yagami frowned slightly and moved carefully toward Sei Itō.
Below the stage, everyone was silent as they stared at the battle that was about to begin.
Soon, the distance between Iori Yagami and Sei Itō was shortened to about one meter. At this moment, Iori Yagami's body tensed up and kicked toward Sei Itō.
Sei Itō tilted his body slightly and dodged the sole of the shoe calmly. Then, he lifted his leg and kicked toward Iori Yagami.
Bam!
Iori Yagami blocked Sei Itō's kick with his hands, but the force from the kick still forced Iori Yagami to take two steps back uncontrollably.
At this moment, Sei Itō attacked and punched toward Iori Yagami's chest.
Iori Yagami pressed his body and glided past Sei Itō as if he was moving through space. Then, he grabbed Sei Itō's clothes from the back and was about to throw Sei Itō away.
"Reverse Peel."
Sei Itō relaxed his body and moved his body along with Iori Yagami's grip. Then, he rolled and landed on the ground before he kicked Iori Yagami with all his might.
Bam!
Unable to defend himself in time, Yagami was kicked and his body was sent tumbling away.
Sei Itō turned around and looked at Iori Yagami with disdain.
Iori Yagami had high self-esteem and couldn't take such a provocation. He immediately jumped up from the ground and threw a purple flame at Sei Itō.
"Dark Hook Hand."
The purple flame dashed toward Sei Itō in a straight line at a fast speed.
"Fire … Oh." Ito Sei sneered and raised his hand to snap his fingers.
In the next moment, a red-yellow pillar of fire shot up from the ground and extinguished Iori Yagami's Dark Hook Hand.
Seeing this. The expressions of Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi immediately changed, and a trace of seriousness flashed in their eyes. Although the other Grandmasters of Combat were also shocked by the appearance of the flame, they didn't take it too seriously. However, in their hearts, Ito Seiji's importance was raised.
"You can't play with fire now." After the flame disappeared, Sei Itō looked at Iori Yagami and chuckled.
"Show me some strength. Otherwise, you'll stop here. "
Iori Yagami's eyes flickered. He turned around and glanced at Iori Kusanagami, who was wearing a Japanese high school uniform. Then, he withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.
In the next moment, an energy wave spread out from Iori Yagami's body, stirring up a gust of wind. The wind blew against his clothes, making loud noises.
"You're indeed a young hero." Itazaki looked at Iori Yagami and praised him openly.
"This guy …" Higashi said with a solemn expression.
"About 30%," Andy added with a serious expression.
"It seems more than that. Another strong opponent. "Terry stretched out his hand and pulled the hat on his head. His eyes were shining as he spoke.
Then, he purposely glanced at Iori Kusanagami, who was standing in the crowd.
"Absolute Power, 40%."
Iori Yagami stood up and stared at Sei Itō coldly. His aura surged as if he was wrapped in an energy light cloak.
"Looks like a godly weapon." Sei Itō smirked and thought to himself.
Iori Yagami didn't care about the meaning behind Sei Itō's smile. He waved his hand and launched a Dark Hook Hand at Sei Itō. However, compared to before, the flame this time was hotter and distorted the air. Even the speed of the flame became faster and shot toward Sei Itō like a purple shadow.
Sei Itō didn't move, but a fire pillar suddenly rose from his face and destroyed Iori Yagami's Dark Hook Hand.
However, at this moment. Iori Yagami suddenly appeared in front of Sei Itō and punched toward Sei Itō's abdomen.
It wasn't hard to guess that this was Iori Yagami's ultimate skill, Yagami Naito's First Move.
Sei Itō chuckled. Just like how Iori Yagami used Reverse Peeling Technique, he slid past Iori Yagami and came behind him. Then, he grabbed Iori Yagami's belt and threw him to the ground with great force.
Bam!
With a loud muffled sound, an irregular human-shaped dent appeared in the arena.
Facing the counterforce, Iori Yagami frowned. Then, he turned his hand and kicked at Ito Sei. Sei Itō jumped back and dodged Iori Yagami's kick. However, in the next moment, a fire pillar rose from the ground and wrapped around Iori Yagami's legs.
"Whoosh!"
A few seconds later, the fire pillar dispersed, revealing Iori Yagami whose trousers were burned. Obviously, before the Sonic Nest appeared, the combat suits worn by all the fighters were simply custom-made. Although they had some defensive properties, they weren't very resistant to certain physical attacks and would be burned, torn, or cut into pieces by sharp weapons.
However, that was all. Iori Yagami's legs weren't damaged by the flames at all with the protection of his divine artifact and absolute power. At most, the hair on his legs was burned away, making his legs as smooth as a woman's.
Iori Yagami stared at Sei Itō with a gloomy look and gritted his teeth as he yelled in a low voice, "Absolute Strength, 45%."
In an instant, the aura of power that had just weakened erupted from his body in an even more violent manner.
Under the influence of this power, Iori Yagami's face turned abnormally red.
Obviously, this wasn't a power that he had grasped at the moment; it was a power that he had awakened in advance. It was obvious that he had a strong desire to win the competition, or rather, to fight Kyo Kusanagi.
Iori Yagami dashed forward and appeared in front of Sei Itō with a series of afterimages. Then, he grabbed at Sei Itō's chest with the Zither Moon Sword.
Itosei calmly took a small step backward and then punched out with his arm, hitting Iori Yagami's palm at an incredible speed.
"Super Monstrous Strength Fist."
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, Iori Yagami's body was sent flying backward at a speed faster than when he came … During this process, a series of cracking sounds came from Iori Yagami's left arm.
Needless to say, it was the sound of bones breaking.
Then. Iori Yagami's body quickly passed through the wide arena and didn't stop until he crashed into the alloy wall on one side of the Combat Hall. Like a painting, he was embedded in the big dent on the wall that was created by the impact.
"Bang!"
"OK, the winner is contestant Sei Ito from the tester team!" The host, Martin, announced in a timely and excited voice, "Congratulations to the tester team. You're qualified for the semifinals! "
The other martial artists looked at each other and didn't know how to react.
That was more than 40% of his absolute strength. It was almost the strongest form of strength for everyone present. Even so, when he faced Ito Sei, he was not a match for his punch. How strong was he himself? Was his Absolute Strength more than 50% or higher?
How were they supposed to live?
"I'm old. I'm old. "Itachi shook his head and sighed.
"Huchi … Huchi …"
However, it was at this moment that a series of rapid breathing sounds that grew louder and louder suddenly rang out in the combat hall. Then, a dark, evil, and violent energy suddenly erupted, drawing everyone's attention to the direction of the source of the energy.
It was Iori Yagami.
At this moment, Iori Yagami suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of crazy eyes and a ferocious face. He exerted his strength and jumped down from the alloy wall. Then, he turned into an afterimage and dashed toward Sei Itō.
"Blood of Madness …" Sei Itō lifted his foot and kicked at Iori Yagami who was charging toward him.
Iori Yagami seemed to have expected this. He slightly tilted his body and dodged Sei Itō's kick. Then, he dashed toward Sei Itō and grabbed at his head.
This was the opening move of Iori Yagami's Madman Mode.
At this moment, Sei Itō flashed and appeared behind Iori Yagami.
Seeing this … Athena, who was originally worried, had her eyes lit up. She could see some traces of herself in this short moment, and at the same time, she was even more certain that Ito Seiji was a psychic.
Sei Itō, who appeared behind Iori Yagami, reached out his arm and grabbed Iori Yagami's neck. Then, he shook his arm, and a force of impact surged into Iori Yagami's head and exploded.
Almost at the same time, Iori Yagami's crazy movement paused, and he fainted with blank eyes.
Sensing that Iori Yagami had fainted, Sei Itō let go of his hand and let Iori Yagami's body fall to the ground.
Plop!
Along with this muffled sound, everyone came back to their senses from the shocking change.
"Today's competition is over. You have three days of rest. Three days later, the semi-finals will be held here again!" Martin, who had come back to his senses, quickly announced the details of the competition loudly.
Sei Itō walked down the arena and smiled at Mary and Tengtang Kagami, who were waiting for him. Then, he left the Combat Hall with them and returned to the resting area where he lived.
"Come in so that I can heal your wounds," Sei Itō opened the door and said to Mary, who was about to return to her room to rest.
"No need. I can just apply some ointment to my wounds." Mary shook her head and refused.
Then, before Sei Itō could say anything, she turned around and walked toward her room.
"What's with all the nonsense?" Sei Itō reprimanded her with dissatisfaction. Then, he grabbed Mary, who had just turned around, and dragged her into his room before slamming the door shut.
Outside the door, Tengtang Kagami looked at the tightly shut door and muttered righteously, "He's so righteous even when he's taking advantage of others. This guy is such a disgrace to the Grandmasters of Combat."
However, as soon as she said that, she immediately looked around the corridor. After making sure that no one was paying attention, she leaned her ear against the door and eavesdropped.
Is this how disrespectful a Grandmaster of Combat is?
"Bastard, let go of me." This was Mary's voice. However, her tone was a little angry.
"Lie down quietly. I'm going to heal you." This was Sei Itō's voice. His voice was filled with ridicule.
"Don't even think about taking advantage of me."
"Don't force me."
"If you're not afraid of dying by my hands one day, then come."
"Hmph, you want to kill me? You're not strong enough yet. Just be obedient."
Bang, bang, bang, bang …
The sound of an intense fight could be heard.
"So intense." Tengtang Kagami muttered excitedly.
The fight didn't last for long. It only lasted for one or two seconds before it quieted down again. Then, Mary's voice could be heard again. "Bastard, you're sexually harassing me!"
"Hehe, it's not up to you now. But then again, even though you look skinny, you're actually quite something. "
"I'm going to kill you!" Mary screamed.
"Pervert!" Tengtang Kagami cursed and quickly retracted her ear from the door. Her face was red as she returned to her room.
"Bang."
The door closed, and the door closed.
Not long after, with a light "gurgling" sound, Mary ran out of Sei Itō's room. Her face was red from embarrassment and anger. She was wearing a fur collar jacket that was tightly fastened in front of her chest. She was holding a ball of red cloth in her hand. From the material and some of the traces, it was obviously the underwear she was wearing before.
"This isn't over." Mary said angrily and slammed the door of Sei Itō's room.
"Bang."
Then, Mary looked at both sides of the corridor and quickly returned to her room.
"Bang."
The door was slammed shut once again.
"Well, it feels good, it's very elastic, just nice to hold in one hand." In the room, Sei Itō was lying on his back on the steel bed. He raised his right hand and gently clenched it twice as if he was reminiscing about it.
"Blood of Madness, this should have attracted Lucard's attention. After all, he also has the blood of madness." After a while, Sei Itō withdrew his arm and thought to himself.
The rest of the time passed by while everyone was resting. In the blink of an eye, it was night time.
Location, dining room.
"Ito-san." Just when Sei Itō was enjoying dinner alone in the dining room, a clear voice rang in his ear.
Sei Itō turned his head and smiled. "It's Athena, what's the matter?"
"That …" Athena looked a little hesitant.
"Hmm?" Sei Itō looked at Athena with a gentle expression and quietly waited for her to continue.
"Are you also an esper?" Under Sei Itō's gentle gaze, Athena, who quickly calmed down, asked softly.
