The Mysterious Black Magician

"Kiko is now dominating the match!" A cheerful voice came from Marco. Like him, satisfaction can be seen on the faces of his comrades.

BLAGH!

A kick to the stomach sent Yman stumbling away.

KREUSH!

He landed on the stage. Yman felt his vision turn hazy. 15 percent was subtracted from his health points.

His severed arm was no longer bleeding. But everyone wondered why his severed arm did not return when he used the healing ability. It remained broken. They remembered that when Yman first used the healing ability, his severed hand came back. But why didn't it restore this time?

Only Yman can answer it.

Kiko did not give him a chance to rest. Another attack was coming at him. Yman's eyes opened slightly when he saw the sharp part of Kiko's sword approaching him at unperceivable speed.

If it hits him, he would say goodbye to himself. Yman thought.

But before Kiko's attack hit, Yman used Rapid Leap. Immediately, his figure disappeared from his position. Another wind was hit by Kiko's attack.

Tsk!

Kiko clicked his tongue at what happened.

"The animal still managed to escape."

Kiko was very upset because it was his chance to finish him. This bastard annoys him so much. His anger at Yman already pierced the sky.

When Kiko saw the reflection of his face on the flat side of his sword, he wanted to cancel his resonance immediately so that his handsome face would return immediately. If it wasn't for his desire to get revenge on Yman, he would have done that.

But before he can do that, he must first end the worthless man! Kiko summoned mana on his feet.

"Acceleration!"

His image also disappeared from his position. He chased after Yman.

Rapid Leap was a singular instant movement. The distance it can reach depends on the proficiency of the one using it. On the other hand, Acceleration was 3 seconds of continuous movement.

Within 3 seconds his speed will become 2 times. So it is obvious who is superior to them in terms of speed.

As expected, Kiko caught up with Yman. He immediately swung his sword. The target of his blow was Yman's head.

Yet again, only the sound of the wind came to Kiko's ears. He also doesn't feel any impact from his attack. It only means one thing. Once again, his attack failed.

Yman dodged it again.

Immediately, he followed up with another attack. As he retreated, Yman dodged Kiko's successive strikes.

Yman could only get away from him if he uses Rapid Leap. But, Kiko will use the Acceleration ability to chase him.

Only one expression could be seen on the faces of the viewers. They were all astonished by their match.

SHING! SWAANG! KUSSSH!

This is probably the toughest fight in this competition. Because of their level gap, they never thought it would be this good. They also did not think that the fight would last long. Even more, they didn't think that Kiko would be challenged so much.

The fledglings were the most flabbergasted in this match. They knew Yman's history within the academy. Especially in their early days. How he was called useless or trash.

They never thought this person would become this strong. That even the so-called strongest male first-year trainee took a long time to beat him. They didn't know if Kiko Sun just intentionally prolonged their fight, but even if Yman loses this match, it is already imprinted in everyone's mind that he is now one of the strongest students in the academy.

The fight between the two continues as if rats and cats are chasing. Kiko's attacks are still consecutive, which Yman avoids as best he can. They already went around the whole stage.

Yman also retaliates with an attack. He's not just pure avoidance. Sometimes he hits Kiko, but his attack is not that strong. In addition to that, Kiko uses a basic ability that increases his defense.

The two of them took considerable damage.

It can also be seen that Yman is being hit hard. His movement seems to be slowing down. And because of Kiko's Acceleration ability, his speed remained better than Yman's. So Yman is obviously at a disadvantage in this fight.

Thanks to his Mana Coating ability and basic Strengthening ability, his defense somehow increased a bit.

The old gambler couldn't stop himself from swallowing the saliva that was blocking his throat. Although he looked like he would lose his money, he did not regret watching this fight and betting on Crimson because it was a very exciting match.

A loud noise woke everyone up.

KRUSSSSHH!

Yman's body landed again on top of the broken stage when he was hit by a strong horizontal kick in the back.

Blood gushed from his mouth and stained around.

"Gahaha!"

Kiko grinned as he approached the lying opponent. He dragged his weapon in his hand. The tip of it was drawing a straight scratch on the stage surface. 

If you look at Yman's situation, he seems to have lost consciousness. He fell motionless. His deep breathing can also be seen.

"I-is the fight over?" Marco asked excitedly.

In Bob's group, the expressions on their faces both seemed to be someone who ate rotten food. Only Rea has an indifferent and calm expression.

Everyone thought the fight was over, but they saw Crimson suddenly move. He tried his best to get up. But, before he succeeded, a kick hit his side.

Guh!

Yman's body rolled away. A few seconds later, he tried to get up again.

"Oi! Are you still fighting? "

"Hehe!"

"Good then!"

Kiko likes what's going on. He hoped to end the fight immediately. However, he thought it would be more fun for him to make this bastard's life a little bit harder first.

Because his face was humiliated, he will also make him suffer a bitter experience. He will torture this frog hard. Kiko repeatedly kicked the weakening Yman.

BLAGH! BLAM! WAM!

"Don't lose consciousness!" Kiko yelled while grabbing Yman's hair. Yman looks pitiful.

He pulled him into the middle of the stage. Yman seemed like a corpse. It can also be seen that he is hurt. This adds even more fun to Kiko.

'This is it…'

Kiko whispered to himself.

When they reached the middle of the stage, Kiko suddenly released his grip on Yman's hair. As a result, his head hit the solid stage.

Kiko rudely rested his right foot on Yman's back. He turned up. He looked on the floating monitor where their health points could be seen.

He saw that Yman still had 17 percent left in his life while he still has 55 percent.

'17 points are just right,' he thought. He still has a lot to do that will make Yman even more miserable.

Kiko turned around. He saw almost every spectator shouting his name. They throw their fists in the air while saying to finish the opponent.

But Kiko has no intention of giving in to them. He will not finish the opponent quickly and painlessly. He wanted Yman to suffer first. If he ends the fight right away, it would be okay if he dies for real. But no. Yman's body will only return to its original state due to the effect of the Photonocules.

Kiko stopped to look where the camera was. And he smiled menacingly. It was obvious from his smile that he had bad intentions.

He knew that she was currently watching. What kind of expression is on her face now? Kiko was curious.

Inside the waiting area, Almina was stunned, staring at the monitor. Her hands trembled. Beside her, Maena was also silently staring. She had the same expression as Almina.

Kiko returned his gaze to his weakened opponent. But upon looking at him, his eyes widened.

"Huh?"

'Where is he?!'

Yman had disappeared at his feet. He was there just now, underneath his foot, lying on the ground with almost no life.

SWAB!

Suddenly Kiko felt a penetrating pain in his stomach. He turned down and saw his sword stabbed right into him.

"H-how?"

Blood flowed from his mouth. He turned to his hand. The sword he had just held was gone. Kiko is confused. He no longer knew what had happened.

At that moment, space suddenly seemed to ripple. It seemed he was in another dimension. Moments later, Kiko's eyes widened. There was something strange around him. It wasn't the look of the place around him just a moment ago. The volume of stained blood on the stage and crevices. They were different from a moment ago.

Confused, he turned around. He glanced at the floating monitor. The health points of the two are displayed there.

Ha?

Kiko's eyes widened even more at what he saw.

The opponent's health points are not 17, but still at 55 percent? "How?" Kiko's health points on the contrary are rapidly declining.

45 hp… 40 hp… 35 hp… 30 hp… 25 hp...

…...Kiko fell when it reached 5 percent.

He could not explain what had happened.

On Kiko's neck sat a mosquito with strange crimson veins.
