Impregnable castle.Kuroki"s defense was solid as ever when he was fighting against Kiryu Setsuna.
However, at the same time, Kiryu was very strong and had caused a lot of trouble for Kuroki. Kiryu"s speed was very fast as if he blinked from one location to another from Kuroki.
Blink.
It was the name of the technique of this footwork. This footwork is very dangerous since it can make the user appear suddenly on the blind spot of the target.
If it was another person then that person might have been killed by Setsuna, however, Kuroki was different.
In front of this bearded man, this footwork technique was useless since he also knew this technique.
However, Kiryu hadn"t thought too much about Kuroki since in his mind the only thing that he wanted was only Tokita Ohma and Kuroki was only one of the obstacles that he needed to kill too.
Kiryu used "Rakhasa Palm" on his legs to make his speed faster.
The fight between the two of them was very brutal since Kiryu was full of wounds, and Kuroki was full of bruises, especially after Kuroki had made a hole in Kiryu"s palm and Kiryu had made Kuroki"s right hand broken.
Kiryu was a strong fighter, but in front of Kuroki, it was another matter since Kuroki was an entirely another level of fighter.
Kiryu used his "Rakhasa Palm" on Kuroki"s shoulder making it twisted, however, Kuroki used that chance to send a decisive attack to the killer of his dear friend.
Stab!
Kuroki stabbed his hand right into Kiryu"s chest and wanted to kill him.
"......"
Kiryu fell down to the ground and died.
Kuroki cleaned the blood on his hand and felt better after he had revenge for his friend.
"WE HAVE A WINNER!"
"KUROKI GENSAI!!!"
---
"This old man is very strong," Izusu said. She thought that Kuroki could defeat the strongest guard in her kingdom in another world. She could shoot out a rifle but she had a feeling that Kuroki was able to deflect it with his hand.
"Yuuki, why did that uncle kill his opponent?" Shouko asked with a tired expression. She had seen a lot of people die in this tournament and it felt quite tiring of her who was living in a peaceful city.
Yuuki looked at Shouko and caressed her hair tenderly making her calm down. "From what I have learned earlier, it seemed that Kiryu had killed Kuroki"s friend."
!!!!
"How did you know?" Haibara asked.
"I saw the movement of Kuroki"s mouth earlier," Yuuki answered.
It was impossible to hear the conversation between the fighters since their voices were too low. That was why Yuuki was reading the movement of their mouths to learn what had happened before and he was a bit surprised to know that Kiryu had killed his own teacher. He knew that a lot of people had a strange personality, but well, in the end, that wasn"t his problem. The only thing that he could do was to make his girlfriend more comfortable.
"Shouko, you haven"t seen someone die before?" Karla asked.
Shouko shook her head and said, "No, but I have seen a lot of animals die."
"Huh? Animal? Why?" Karla asked.
"In the past, my little sister would occasionally take a picture of a dead animal and put it in our house," Shouko said.
"Huh? Why?" Karla was confused by the action of Shouko"s little sister.
"Because she didn"t want me to commit suicide," Shouko answered.
"........"
Everyone was surprised by Shouko"s answer.
"Why do you want to commit suicide?" Karla asked and felt a bit confused. She wouldn"t believe that such a cute and kind girl wanted to commit suicide in the past.
"In the past, I"m deaf and I"ve thought that I have brought a lot of misfortune around me," Shouko said with a calm expression.
"Huh?! No! You"re very kind, Shouko! You"re not going to give anyone the misfortune around you!" Isuzu hurriedly said.
"Yes, you"re like an angel," Rossweisse said.
"Who dares to say that to you? I"ll dissect them, making them guinea pigs," Haibara said.
"My clan is always available to help you," Karla said.
Shouko panicked when she heard their response. "Y - You misunderstand! That"s what I have felt before, but now it is different since I have him now." She looked at Yuuki and kissed his cheek.
Yuuki wrapped his hands around Shouko"s waist tighter. "I"m always here with you."
"Thank you," Shouko said.
Those words meant a lot of things for Shouko since after meeting him she knew how beautiful the world could be and how he could make everyone happy around him, even though it was only limited to the female gender.
Everyone who looked at Shouko couldn"t help but hug her together.
Even Haibara, who was usually very silent, also joined together.
They really thought that Shouko was similar to an angel, no, even better than an angel since an angel could become a fallen angel, but Shouko couldn"t become a fallen Shouko.
"So how can you hear it once again?" Karla asked curiously.
"Yuuki has helped me before," Shouko said. She knew that magic was a secret to normal people and it was better to keep silent about it.
Karla looked at Yuuki once again and thought that she really needed the child of this young man.
"......"
Yuuki looked at Karla and thought that this girl had a strange idea again on her head.
It seemed that because of that conversation, their relationship had become closer to each other.
Then the next match had started once again and this was the fight between Hatsumi Sen against Bando Yohei.
Hatsumi Sen was the first one who entered the arena and his expression seemed quite relaxed for some reason. He was waiting for his opponent to enter, but he didn"t need to wait too long since the famous serial killer also entered the arena shortly after. He smiled and said, "Took you long enough to enter. I"m about to sleep."
Bando with his huge body grabbed the wall of the hall and entered the arena without expression.
"I - IT"S BANDOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
