Capítulo 8: Win? (Revision)
"Did the new student really do it...?"
"Amazing, he actually defeated that director!"
"Can this outcome really be called a defeat?"
"It's incredible to reach this point against the former third-ranked Blazer in the world."
Among the audience, some people started talking again.
However, unlike the previous sympathy and pity, this time everyone without exception expressed admiration for the young man who had fallen on the field.
Indeed, the power of the former third-ranked Blazer in the world was not fully displayed.
She had completely disappointed her opponent from the beginning, and it couldn't be said that she had shown her strength seriously at all. However, no one present dared to guarantee the fact that they would definitely win.
With Kurono as an opponent, being able to suppress or even defeat her for a moment, even at the risk of almost dying, even if the opponent didn't use her full strength, was enough to be proud of for a lifetime.
"Just because he nearly died, he became so strong!"
When someone holding a camera and taking special pictures saw this, he immediately glanced at some people with dissatisfaction.
"If you were him, would you have the desire to win the duel even if you were nearly dead?"
Several people immediately fell silent.
In that attack, the young man on the field not only showed his ability but also his unparalleled courage and fighting spirit.
Although Knight Students are Blazers, most of them are just students.
Minor boys and girls haven't even fully formed their worldviews yet. If they used the Illusionary Form to release their Device impulsively, it could result in irreversible consequences.
Therefore, Blazers under fifteen years old are required to release their Device in Illusionary Form under any circumstances. This is a rule from the League of Mage-Knight Nations.
This way, even if the Device penetrates the body, it will only drain physical strength but not life.
In other words, most Knight Students have never been involved in real battles with real swords and weapons. Let alone being on the brink of death, many of them are not even aware they are injured.
Conversely, Hoshiharu wasn't even afraid of dying to win the duel, and his level had already surpassed that of such Student Knight.
The maturity limit in this world is fifteen years old.
When Blazers reach fifteen, they are considered adults and can marry and have children.
"Oh, I really captured something good!"
The cam girl gave a smile of genuine satisfaction, "When I launch the school magazine at the start of the school year, I'll publish this as the first issue!"
On the field.
"Junior Brother!"
Touka shouted and rushed out onto the field with a very nervous expression.
At this moment, even Kurono couldn't react, let alone her, and couldn't stop her at all. When she came to her senses, Hoshiharu's had already fallen into a pool of blood.
"Phew..."
Kurono took a breath and summoned her Device.
In her right hand was a pitch-black pistol.
Her left hand was a pure white pistol.
These two pistols looked almost identical, only differing in color.
She raised her black-and-white pistols, one pointing at Hoshiharu on the floor, and the other at herself.
*BANG* *BANG*
Two gunshots rang out in quick succession.
In the blink of an eye, Hoshiharu's body suddenly became stagnant. His breathing and flowing blood stopped, as if the time in his body had frozen.
On the other hand, Kurono's skin improved as she breathed, changing from the previous pallor to a rosy hue again.
"Touka, move your junior to the iPS Capsule."
Kurono stood up and landed on the ground.
The silver sword embedded in her chest gradually turned into particles of golden light and disappeared because of Hoshiharu's coma.
She rubbed her chest, feeling the pain piercing through, and couldn't help but wince.
It still hurts.
"Also, when he wakes up, help me convey a message to him—"
❀❀❀
"Mhm—"
Hoshiharu groaned, opening his heavy eyelids, and woke up.
What he saw in front of him was a clean white room, the ceiling painted white, and there was a faint smell of alcohol and medicine that penetrated his nose and mouth.
"A familiar hospital ceiling...?"
The sight and smell were so familiar that Hoshiharu momentarily confused his memory, thinking he was still lying on the hospital bed where he had been for more than ten years.
After a while, his brain cleared, and he recalled the fight with the director before he lost consciousness.
He only remembered that at the last moment he used a Noble Arts that he couldn't currently bear – Lightning Flint, but in the middle of the process, his consciousness fragmented and he fell into a coma due to the massive side effects.
"So, I won in the end?"
Hoshiharu leaned against the side of the bed, slightly sighing inside his heart.
Lightning Flint was very powerful, so powerful that he couldn't bear it with his current Physical Strength.
His ability was [Absolute Speed], which meant "absolutely faster than his opponent." so the faster his opponent, the faster he became.
By concentrating his only Magic Power in his body into one attack and setting his speed beyond his opponent's reaction limit, he could make his speed truly surpass his opponent's, with one strike!
The core of this ability was Causation Interference System, which allowed oneself, who originally didn't have such speed, to forcibly reverse cause and effect, making the phenomenon of "being faster than the other party" reverse all impossibilities and become reality.
However, in other words, if he didn't have such power, if he forcibly used such power, it would naturally place a tremendous burden on his body.
One wonders what would happen to his fragile body if it were thrown at the speed of sound.
First, breathing would be obstructed, pulmonary function disrupted, then the skin would crack, blood vessels burst, and the whole body would be bathed in blood. Next, muscle fibers would become necrotic, and bones would break together, turning him into neither a human nor a ghost. Finally, even internal organs would be damaged... The result was almost death.
This was his Noble Arts, Lightning Flint!
A persistent Blazer so strong that even he himself couldn't control it.
"Junior Brother, are you awake?"
The sound of the door opening was heard, and Touka's voice reached his ears.
Turning around, the figure of a chestnut-haired girl appeared at the door and entered the room. She held a silver tray in her hand, which contained a stack of food.
As the aroma of food reached his nose, Hoshiharu's stomach let out an unsatisfied growl.
"Is it already evening?"
Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten all day.
The sun outside the window had set, and only half of it remained on the horizon. The setting sun shone through the window, tinting the bedsheets orange.
"How's your health? Have you recovered?"
Touka placed the tray on the bedside table, sat in the chair beside the bed, and looked at Hoshiharu anxiously, glancing around him.
"As you can see, I've fully recovered. The iPS Capsule technology is truly amazing!"
Hoshiharu moved his wrist and waist, and felt his body exactly the same as before he fainted, without any injuries at all.
But this was normal. He knew he would definitely be in a near-death state if he used Lightning Flint, so before the duel began, he repeatedly asked Kurono to make sure there was an iPS Capsule.
Such behavior only happened because the healing ability of the iPS Capsule was too excessive.
