Bab 541: Raikiri
"Now that you mentioned it, what kind of person is Moroboshi?"
Shizuku asked since she didn't know anything about Moroboshi. She knew that he was one of the strongest last year, and he also was the one with the best chance to become a champion in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival."
"If I have to describe him in one word, then persistence."
Kiriko thought for a moment and sighed.
"There are many people who have a strong will, but there aren't many people who can withstand the pain and hardship. Moroboshi happens to be one of them."
Tsukasa wasn't here, and Kiriko was the only one who knew about Moroboshi, so she explained what she knew about Moroboshi while watching the spear and blade dance fiercely.
"Back then, I was conducting research about restoring missing limbs by cannibalizing components from the rest of the body at a molecular level and coalescing the dispersed parts to replace the missing limbs. That research is successful, especially with Tsukasa with me..."
Her gaze was warm when she thought about Tsukasa, but then she said with a sigh. "However, not many people can withstand this operation since it is excruciating. However, Moroboshi came from Osaka to my hospital in Hiroshima, crawling, begging me to operate that operation on him. Naturally, I refused, but that guy stayed outside the hospital for almost a week. If Tsukasa didn't want to help him, I might not help him since the operation is so painful that it is better to die."
The main problem of the operation is that the body becomes so weakened that even breathing becomes painful. To fix this, the patient has two choices: build up muscle mass as quickly as possible with their weakened body (which very few can endure) or have Kiriko undo the operation.
"Yuuzou Kaieda, the commentator, also participated in my operation, but after a week, he gave up because of the pain. However, Moroboshi didn't give up and kept building up his muscles even if he was bleeding and his entire body was in pain."
Hearing those words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Yuuzou was someone that had joined the World War, and his body was bathed with blood and injuries, but he could only last for a week.
"By cannibalizing the cells throughout the body before coalescing the dispersed parts to replace the missing limbs is an amazing discovery, but it has a great effect. During the operation, your muscles will be so weak that you don't have any power to move your body, and your bones will be so fragile that they might break all the time. Under such a situation, he continued the treatment, training like a first-class athlete, and his body was destroyed thousands of times. It is a pain that normal people can't imagine."
"....."
"Moroboshi continued that operation for five years. Then, five years later, he started his debut. You can imagine how persistent he is, right?"
While everyone was in silence, slightly shuddered by the imagination at the pain felt by Moroboshi, Kiriko was rather calm.
Moroboshi's persistence was amazing, but could persistence alone be enough to defeat the enemy?
"The match is about to conclude."
Kiriko reminded everyone, awakening them, and they quickly looked at the stage.
Unfortunately, Tsukasa wasn't there.
---
The battle between Touka and Moroboshi was even more intense than many people imagined.
They had similar physical abilities and strengths. Their abilities suppressed each other, and it was hard to determine the winner.
"Raikiri!"
Touka returned her sword to the sheathe, and her whole body was covered in golden lightning.
As the battle intensified, the blade that exceeded the sound speed roared!
Moroboshi's expression was tense.
In the face of this famous "Raikiri," he had been beaten once. He could do nothing and could only dodge and jump around since he didn't dare to face this attack at all.
However, this year was different!
"Watch me break your proudest technique!"
Moroboshi roared like a tiger. He didn't dodge or jump away but met this attack!
In the past year, he had been thinking about how to solve this technique whenever he had time, and he had made a plan in his mind!
The moment a super-electromagnetic sword drawing technique was drawn by Touka and Moroboshi rushed forward toward Touka!
"Houkiboshi!"
He didn't defend or dodge but attacked with all of his might!
He knew that in terms of ability, it was impossible to defeat "Raikiri" upfront. He knew this well, so this attack, he didn't aim it toward the "Raikiri!"
The moment the sharp spear tip pierced out, Moroboshi suddenly snapped his wrist!
Touka suddenly saw the body of the spear suddenly bent in a strange shape, and her expression quickly changed!
*Whoosh!*
There was a loud humming sound.
Moroboshi stepped back several meters, but his eyes shone like stars, and there was no intention to admit defeat on his face.
"Raikiri has been cracked! Incredible! This is the first time this technique has been cracked head-on since this technique appeared in this world! What the hell is going on?"
"To be honest, even this old man was shocked... Star of Naniwa suddenly shook his wrist when he pierced his spear, and how many times do you think he stabbed in that blow?"
"Isn't it once? It's also shown in the camera."
"This should be an angle issue. In the face, when he shook his wrist, the spear's body bent, and at the same time, he sent three consecutive stabs as if the spear's trajectory had changed."
"So that means, Raikiri was tricked by the spear's trajectory?"
"No, on the contrary, Raikiri was cracked because she wasn't tricked. Instead, if she didn't stop, that spear would piece her!"
Compared to a blade, the biggest advantage of the spear was its length.
Moroboshi took this advantage, and the moment he collided with Raikiri, he unleashed three consecutive stabs with a slight twist at the end.
Naturally, those attacks were impossible to hide from Touka since her Reverse Sight allowed her to sense the subtle signals of her opponent's body, thus allowing Touka to know her opponent's state of mind and planning.
Therefore, Moroboshi used this technique since even if Touka could read his intention, what would be the use if she couldn't stop it?
Touka could only wield one blade, but even so, it was easy for her to deal with three consecutive attacks at the same time. However, if she didn't block those attacks, she might be pierced, so she stopped them.
"It's now!"
However, instead of running away, Moroboshi rushed forward on his initiative.
Raikiri was a quick-drawn sword technique, and she needed to return her blade to the sheath if she wanted to perform this technique.
In other words, it was impossible to use this technique continuously!
When the Raikiri ended, it was Touka's weakness!
As long as Touka was pierced, his winning rate would be more than 90%!
"Haha.
But at this moment, Touka suddenly laughed.
Her hand was still on the scabbard, and her Device was returned to the sheath at some point!
Moroboshi's pupils shrank!
"Raikiri!"
Instantly, a golden sword of light almost blinded the audience.
Moroboshi stopped abruptly, but fortunately, his range was outside of Touka's Raikiri, so he should be alright, right?
"Raikiri!"
But suddenly, Touka rushed over. Her sword was clearly drawn, and it was clear that it had been swung, but out of nowhere, the blade had already returned to the sheath, and she did consecutive Raikiris several times.
The second sword came, and it slashed right into Moroboshi.
"You can block one of my Raikiri, but what about more?"
Two figures crossed.
Touka held her sword and declared her victory in a dignified manner.
In response, Moroboshi was silent.
"...wonderful."
Geyser-like blood bloomed out from his chest, and he fell slowly to the ground.
"The battle is over! Medical staff, hurry up and come!"
Kurono shot Moroboshi, stopping his time, and the medical staff quickly took him away from the stage.
"Touka is amazing!"
"As expected, she is awesome!"
"Haha, the star of Naniwa was helpless against her!"
There were many enthusiastic noises around the arena.
Countless people were full of enthusiasm, lamenting at how exciting this battle was, and some people trembled since, unlike last year, Touka could defeat Moroboshi so easily this time.
This made all of them realize the quality of the representative this year was crazy!
"The battle in the C-block is almost over! The representatives in the D-block, please be prepared!"
Ikki wanted to go, but he couldn't since he was worried about his friend.
"Where is Tsukasa?"
"......"
