Chapter 157 - Mock Battle - Part 5

But anyway, after Rin and Kyrie, coincidentally shouted ten in union time came to a halt as both fighters glanced at each other and smiled. Before instantly teleporting in front of each other with Rin being the first to attack as he threw a right hook.

Followed by Kyrie, who initially threw a left hook before changing midway and going for an uppercut, yet as their fists inched ever closer to each other's bodies as they went for the one-hit knockout. We still didn't know what technique they would use to end this fight that lasted more than a millennium.

Due to Rin wanting to play games and Kyrie just going along with it like an idiot... but with this all-out clash, we would finally have our winner.

"Chromatic Punch!" Rin shouted as his fist was engulfed in a maelstrom of whitish-gray energy. Yet within this whirlpool, a faint rune appeared that caused Rin's fist to accelerate, leading to the first hit of the day as Kyrie's face tilted to a 90-degree angle.

Swoosh! Boom!

Followed by his body, which was lifted off the ground and thrown like a rag doll into five trees before he was shipped off to dreamland with half his teeth scattered through the forest. However, as if not to be outdone, Kyrie instantly yelled, "Draconic Revenge!" just as he felt himself about to lose as a last-ditch effort.

Causing a fiery orangish energy to swirl around his fist as the phantom of a dragon appeared behind him. That instantly shot toward Rin like an arrow and collided into his chest, burning his clothes to smithereens upon impact before it engulfed him in flames. Turning him into a human-sized flame torch that burnt his body to ashes, not giving him even a chance to scream or even curse.

Whoosh! Roar! Sizzle!

"So, who do you think won?" Ethan exclaimed as he stood up and gazed at the projection, which showed a devastating crater and large dust cloud, which obscured most of the fight and made it hard to tell who won.

Nevertheless, even with that, some people already made guesses based off a split-second clash, which won't be answered anytime soon as shortly afterward the projection turned black and the words, "Matched Completed!"

Appeared on the screen, followed by our two fighters being thrown out of the pocket dimension afterward.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

"Hmm, while a bit disappointing, Rin and Kyrie, it was still a good fight. However, moving forward, if anyone takes as long as they do to complete their battle, both contestants will be disqualified. So could Ethan and Maze please take the stage and show our two class clowns, how a true fight should be done?"

Professor Niko said as he shook his head in disappointment at the pitiful performance of Rin & Kyrie, before turning toward Ethan and Maze, who just glanced at each other and signed as they resigned to fate and entered the pocket dimension.

"Professor Niko, before Ethan and Maze fight, could you show us what occurred in the last minute of Kyrie and Rin's fight," Isaac asked curiously, as he wanted to see how he would compare to these two monsters if he was ever to fight them.

"Hmm, while it's possible to playback the footage, I don't feel like going through the hassle of talking to those freaks over at GenHyper. So, we will have a vote to decide if it's worth the hassle, how many of you want to see footage of their fight, or have no class tomorrow?"

"Teacher, now that isn't fair, for you know what everyone would pick," Isaac complained as if he could already see what would get the most votes.

"You never know, Isaac, maybe your classmates are thinking like you and want to gauge how they would compare to Rin and Kyrie at their current level." Professor Niko stated with hope, even though he'd love to have a break like everyone else for just one day.

"Maybe, but still... that's a pretty big maybe to gamble on," muttered Isaac.

"… We won't know until everyone votes, so those in favor of seeing the last moments of Rin and Kyrie's fight, raise one finger. While for those who would love to take a break and relax for one day, raise two fingers."

A few minutes later...

"Hmm, now this is interesting, so 12 students want to see the fight, while 10 want to have a day off. Sigh, you won, Isaac, so next time please don't jump to conclusions, or doubt you have a chance of winning. For the scales could always tip in your favor at a moment's notice regardless of whatever the odds may be, Isaac."

Niko smiled as Isaac nodded while Maze, Ethan, Rin, and Kyrie returned to their seats, considering no one wanted to miss a second of this fight. Sometime later, following a quick phone call with GenHyper, Niko was finally given the privilege to replay the footage, and with that we know who won.

"So, you mean to tell me that both of you died at the same time, even though Rin technically won but you defeated him first, Kyrie. What?" A student asked with confusion after watching the footage.

"Um, for the looks of things, it seems so," Isaac said as he tried to make sense of what he just watched.

"Welp, regardless of the outcome, could Maze and Ethan enter the artificial pocket dimension as I got stuff, I have to complete, and other students to babysit."

45 minutes later...

"... finally, we're done. Now could everyone get out the fuck out! So that I could review everyone's footage and submit a list of potential candidates to the principal," Niko shouted with frustration and annoyance, as he waved his hand and sent everyone outside, and while the door closed with a thud behind them.

"Dang, who pissed him off? Wasn't he happy earlier? Sigh, this is why I hate bipolar and eccentric people." Someone muttered as they shook their head and rushed off to lunch to get something good to eat.
