Chapter 318 Old vs New! Who Is The Winner?
318 Old vs New! Who Is The Winner?
Together, Landon, Elijah, and Abigail headed to confront Hiro. Landon was the strongest among them with him being in Rank-C while the other two were in Rank-C -.
Initially, they had no plan to take on Hiro who was too strong. However, without eliminating Hiro, getting a championship was nothing but a dream. Many people believed that as long as Hiro was standing, Ace Academy would definitely get the championship.
Landon too knew that Hiro was their biggest obstacle to obtaining the t.i.tle of the strongest. However, he also realized that defeating Hiro was not so easy.
Even with all the preparation and attacks that were thrown at him, Hiro has yet to be pushed back even once. There was no sign of exhaustion, nor was there any injury on his body.
However, Landon still believed that it was the appropriate time to fight Hiro. Although Hiro did not suffer any injuries, they are aware that he had to fight a number of students and monsters.
Additionally, he had witnessed Hiro fighting with the Ursoloth leader. Even though Hiro was able to defeat the monster easily, Landon believes that Hiro had expended quite a bit of energy to defeat it. Moreover, there was also the attack that Hiro had to use in order to block their surprise attack.
Landon believes Hiro should have very low stamina and mana based on all those factors. On the other hand, Elijah and Abigail were in their best condition with their mana and stamina almost full. He was certain that as long as the fight dragged on, they would have an advantage.
“Hiro, do you need help?”
Sylvia asked. She was not that worried about Hiro fighting three rank-C students by himself. She had seen him do many more incredible things. In spite of that, she asked because it was better to be careful than regret it later on.
.....
“I will be fine. You should help others.”
Hiro said firmly. He could handle them alone. Even if they had something truly amazing, Hiro still had his trump card which was enough for him to fight on par with Rank-A. He didn’t think that they had something that could surpa.s.s the power of Rank-A.
Unlike what Landon thought, he didn’t really use much of his mana and was in good condition. In addition, the enemies that are rushing toward the other Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants are powerful, and their numbers are too big. Hiro believes that Sylvia was more needed there than with him.
Sylvia acknowledged his answer and proceeded to the other side where a major battle was going to happen.
Landon’s allies were no joke. They were some of the strongest partic.i.p.ants in the tournament. While many of them were weaker than Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants, they had more people on their side.
Unlike last time, these partic.i.p.ants were mostly in Rank-D with many being in Rank-D + and there were also some students in Rank-C.
At the moment, the strongest in the tournament were all gathered on this battlefield and the outcome of this battle was ultimately going to decide who took the crown home.
“Hiro, I commend you for facing us alone. Don’t blame us for taking advantage of our numbers.”
Landon said. He truly admired Hiro who had been able to easily disrupt his plan with absolute power. However, that only fuels his desire to defeat him. He prepared to make his move on Hiro.
However, before he did anything, someone ran past him and attacked Hiro. And it was not weak either, with the power being approximately at Rank-C +.
-CLANK!
However, Hiro easily blocked the attack. He noticed the person who attacked him and was surprised to see the person who attacked him.
“Ren! What are you doing here?”
Landon yelled angrily. The plan had already been explained, and he thought everyone agreed. Never did he think that Ren would disobey and change his plan.
“Humph! I already said Hiro is my target. I will deal with him myself.”
Ren Dreyar replied. He was not afraid of being reprimanded and scolded by the professor nor did he care. He had only one goal which was to defeat the person in front of him.
Hiro was someone who made him feel inferior for the first time in his life. Even without fighting, he felt that he was no match for him.
That thought really angered him. He didn’t have any opponents at his age and he was one of the most talented people. For him to be scared of his junior was unacceptable.
He changed his school because he wanted to challenge Hiro and defeat him in front of the whole world. Not only would he regain his pride that way, but he would also show everyone who the real genius is.
-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!
Ren Dreyar attacked with everything he was capable of. The attack power of each of his attacks was Rank-C+. With that, it was certain that Ren was at Rank-C + which was even higher than Landon. Even Hiro seems to be exerting more strength in order to parry Ren’s attack.
“Humph! You seem to have become even stronger.”
-CLANG! -CLANG!
“However, I have become stronger than you!”
Ren said. He had trained vigorously for the past few months. He had spent countless sleepless days training just to defeat Hiro. He was willing to do anything in order to get his pride back. He was confident that he would be able to surpa.s.s him today.
[ “Whirlwind Blade” ]
[ “StarShatterer Style: Complete Annihilation” ]
Ren didn’t hold himself back and launched one of his strongest skills. Hiro was the same. The two strikes collided and each was canceled.
Landon and the others were surprised. It wasn’t Hiro’s power, but Ren Dreyar’s that shocked them. They knew that Ren was strong but never did they think that Ren would be so much stronger than they thought. Not only that, his attack power is on par with Hiro.
With the addition of Ren Dreyar, Landon was now certain that victory would be theirs. It was still unclear whether they would succeed earlier, but Ren’s surprise power allowed him to visualize the picture of their victory.
While Ren seemed no interest in cooperating with Landon and others, it didn’t mean Landon couldn’t help him. Landon and the other two charged their attack when Ren was keeping Hiro busy.
Everything was working in their favor and they believed that victory was in their grasp.
“From today onwards, we will be the champions!”
