Zoe didn't get to relax for long because Takeshi had turned the tables and charged at her.
Zoe shielded her head with her hands and blocked Takeshi's kick. At the same time, Takeshi's left hand came down from above and bombarded her.
"Boom …"
Breuxent's face was pressed against the glass window. "What's the result of Takeshi's counterattack?!
The whole arena is covered in smoke. I can't see anything! "
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten explosions came from the smoke cloud and reverberated through the arena. It was like Takeshi's one-sided bombardment.
After a moment of silence, two people retreated from the smoke cloud in opposite directions. One couldn't take it anymore and knelt on one knee, while the other smiled arrogantly and excitedly.
The former was Zoe, while the latter was Takeshi.
Blessent sucked in a deep breath and shouted, "Ah!!
Takeshi's attack is effective this time! "
Misako was puzzled. "Why?!"
Couldn't she use the wind to protect herself?!
"You …" Takeshi sneered. "You don't have the ability to cover your whole body because you can't do it, right?"
Zoe stood up and wiped her face. "You're right," she said bluntly.
In the past eleven days, Snake Well had only focused on her attack because of the lack of time. He had neglected her defense.
Now, Zoe was more inclined to compress the wind and then explode it in one breath. She had trouble controlling the wind to form a wall to protect herself.
Zoe had to clench her teeth to stabilize the wind in the first few attacks of Bao Hao so that she wouldn't suffer too much damage.
Since he had been discovered, he had no choice but to attack.
With that thought in mind, Zoe dashed out like an arrow drawn from a bow.
Takeshi sneered and went up to meet her.
When the two figures were pulled closer, a long close-combat battle began.
At this moment, a person hurriedly ran in from an entrance behind the auditorium.
He accidentally bumped into a business student who was watching the competition attentively. He didn't apologize and walked away looking around.
Just as the business student was about to flare up, another person patted his shoulder.
"What …"
The person who put his arm around his shoulder was a second-year senior. His handsome face was full of an apologetic smile. He apologized on behalf of the person who bumped into him. "I'm sorry, that guy is a little nervous. Please don't mind him."
"Oh …" The business administration student said blankly, "It's okay …"
The second-year senior who apologized waved his hand and followed the second-year student. He found that the second-year student had already reached the wall in front of the front row of spectators. Because he didn't want to block the other spectators behind him, he squatted down.
The handsome young man followed him, ignoring the quiet complaints of the audience, and squatted beside him.
"How is it, Snake Well, your disciple?"
Snake Well, who had been called out, bit his thumb and shook his head nervously as he muttered to himself.
"As expected, it's better to just let her quit school and train again.
Although her control and power have improved a little, compared to DUST …
Mr. Devil at the same age, she's on a completely different level. She's still a mess.
Melee combat is too tiring. That stupid pig, I kept warning her to conserve her strength and kill her opponent in one blow at the last moment. Looks like she's completely ignoring my words … Good, very good … Hey!
She should've used her right hand to block him before attacking!
Idiot!
Trash! "
The handsome young man shook his head helplessly. "Snake Well, you didn't hesitate to use your secret move to defeat me in five minutes. You even missed the commendation ceremony, just to come here and criticize your disciple?"
"I'm just here to observe how she's like on the spot!
Although that girl is very obedient during training, when it comes to actual combat, she's so hot-blooded that she can't even recognize her own mother. She forgets everything I've taught her, and when she's excited, she won't stop until she's knocked out!
I thought she wouldn't have this kind of problem when she fights with others … No, I have to double the number of training sessions. I have to make her remember everything with her body so that she won't lose DUST when she's hot-blooded.
Mr. Devil's face! "
The handsome young man had already stopped listening to Snake Well's complaints halfway through. He had originally followed him because he had nothing to do. Now, he leaned against the wall and watched the two people fight on the stage with disinterest. He thought to himself, That afro guy is still okay. Her potential is not bad.
But Snake Well's disciple can forget about it. She won't be able to defeat that afro guy. This match will probably end in five minutes …
Back on the stage.
Just as Snake Well had said, Zoe had no intention of conserving her strength at all. Or rather, she had never thought of conserving her strength.
Every punch and every kick she threw was 100% of her strength. Her comprehensive perception was also maintained to the maximum.
If she could land her punches and kicks on Takeshi every time, it would be fine. But the problem was …
She couldn't!
Takeshi's fighting skills were much better than hers. He was able to dodge Zoe's attacks. Although his attacks were similarly ineffective against Zoe's reflexes, his movements were not as sluggish as Zoe's. This saved him a lot of energy.
As time passed, the gap between their strengths widened.
Zoe waved her hand, intending to create a strong gust of wind to increase the distance between them. However, she suddenly staggered, giving Takeshi the opportunity to land a blow on her face.
Zoe closed her eyes. When she tried to steady herself, she found that her legs were trembling weakly. She could only squat down and use one hand to support herself from sitting down.
She panted lightly, sweat already drenching the upper half of her back.
The symptoms of the cold that had been suppressed by the girl teacher's personality after the horseback riding battle had also begun to appear.
In the auditorium, Midaya clenched his fists worriedly. "Fengze, she doesn't have much energy left …"
"It's time to end it, baseball girl …" Takeshi would not give her any time to rest. He took two steps forward and waved his hand in front of Zoe. "Go to hell!"
Zoe forced out an unwilling smile. She kicked her feet and rushed forward to grab Takeshi's burning hand with her bare hands.
Under Takeshi's surprised gaze, she smiled evilly and interlocked her fingers with his. "You're the one who should go to hell, Golden Fur."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling flame exploded between the palms of the two men in an instant!
"Bang!!"
After the explosion, Zoe took a deep breath. She endured the discomfort and tightened her grip on Takeshi's hand. She exerted her strength and threw Takeshi out.
"Ahahaha." Her face was pale and the corners of her mouth twitched. She watched Takeshi land in front of the white line. At the same time, she clenched her right wrist that was badly mangled by the explosion.
Damn it … It hurts, it's really not an ordinary pain …
Cold sweat slid down to her chin due to the pain. Zoe thought, "But Takeshi must have also been injured."
After the explosion, she also let the wind between her two palms explode. The hand of Bao Hao would definitely not be able to use it for a short period of time!
At the thought of this, she suppressed the pain and clenched her bloody fist. She grinned excitedly. "It's a draw."
Breuxent was so excited that he could not control himself. "Fengze stopped Takeshi's powerful attack!!"
On the other side, Takeshi's palm was also injured. He clenched his fist a few times and felt that his fist could still move as usual.
But when he tried to use the smallest explosion, the piercing pain forced him to stop.
"You bastard …" He glared at Zoe, shook his hand and rushed up without hesitation.
Zoe shouted, "Again!?"
She could see that Takeshi had a strong desire to end this game as soon as possible. The next round of attacks would definitely not be easy.
She had not recovered from the pain and her physical strength was not enough. She could only hold her hand and step back to avoid Takeshi's fierce attacks.
At this time, her foot stepped into a hole created by Takeshi's previous explosion. She stepped into the air and fell back. Luckily, she also dodged Takeshi's palm.
She immediately steadied herself with her other foot and pushed forward, knocking Takeshi away with her shoulder.
Takeshi stepped back a few steps, but his undamaged palm was already aimed at Zoe.
Zoe raised her hand and slapped his hand away before the explosion. The flame of the explosion brushed past her cheek.
Seeing that his hand was slapped away, Bao Hao clicked his tongue. But soon, he refocused his attention on Zoe, who was nearby, only to find that she had already wrapped the wind around her burned arm and was ready to deal the final blow.
Takeshi's posture made his center of gravity unstable. His hand was slapped away by Zoe and he did not have time to turn back to attack her. His other hand was also injured. This was Zoe's best and last chance.
She took advantage of her victory to pursue and attack. She rolled the wind up her arm and fixed her eyes on her target. Between the sound of the wind, she said to the boaster, "You're mine."
Takeshi grinned and replied, "You wish."
Then he raised his bloody palm and waved it at Zoe!
Bang —
The explosion echoed in the stadium, loud and clear.
Zoe was pushed back by the explosion and did not stop until she reached the white line. Her palm, which she used to increase the resistance to stop herself from sliding, left a trail of blood.
As the referee, Midnight had been paying close attention to everything on the stage.
Takeshi's explosion this time was very strong. Almost three-quarters of the stadium was covered in black smoke.
He did not care about his injury and attacked his opponent with his injured hand. His competitiveness was too strong …
She saw Takeshi panting, with black smoke around him. She turned to look at Zoe, who was lying on the ground on the other side.
The smoke had been blown away by the wind, and her clothes and hair were fluttering slightly in the wind.
But what made Midnight feel strange was that the wind seemed to be hovering around her for only half a meter …
Zoe lowered her head, her eyes reflecting her burned arm.
Just now, her brother said …
She looked up in horror, her eyes looking for the figure of her childhood playmate in the auditorium.
After seeing him put down his phone and turn his head away, she clearly felt her heart shrink and her whole body turn cold.
Brother Tensei … Something happened to him?
Not only Midnight and Takeshi, but the audience also noticed that something was wrong with Zoe.
"What happened?"
"Why did she stop?"
"She was looking in the direction of her class, right?
What did she see? "
Midnight asked, "Fengze?"
Amid the doubts and whispers around her, Zoe stood up from the ground, crossed the stage, and ran toward the exit on the opposite side.
Takeshi saw that his opponent was about to run away and shouted, "Hey, bastard, where are you going?!"
"Fengze?!"
"Sorry, Takeshi, we'll continue next time." Zoe jumped without turning her head and landed on the ground at the bottom.
She was outside the white line, officially disqualified from the competition.
After a while, Midnight announced, "Fengze is up, and the winner is Takeshi!"
In the broadcast room, Breuxent leaned back in his chair. "What happened?"
In the second round of the third round, Fengze versus Takeshi, Fengze forfeited, and Takeshi won.
After Zoe left the field of vision of the audience, she met Tenya at the stairs, who was talking to a teacher in charge.
She called out to him, "Tenya!
How's Brother Tensei?! "
"Zoe." Tenya was interrupted by the teacher in charge in front of her.
The teacher pressed the communicator in her ear and said, "You've received permission. Iida, you can go now. Go and see Mr. Ingenium!"
Tenya was excited. "Okay, teacher!
Thank you very much! "
Zoe heard their conversation and grabbed Tenya's clothes nervously. "I'll go with you!"
The teacher glanced at Zoe. "Are you Mr. Ingenium's immediate family member?"
"No, I'm, I'm..."
Zoe suddenly paused and clenched her fists on Tenya's clothes. Who was she?
What was she?
Seeing her reaction, the teacher bluntly refused her request. "If you're not his immediate family member, we can't let you leave the school."
"Zoe..."
Tenya turned around and found that Zoe had let go of her.
She pulled her facial muscles and smiled. "Tenya, you go first. I'll catch up with you after the sports festival."
Seeing Tenya's figure slowly disappear from her sight, Zoe stood there for about five minutes before leaving.
She bypassed all the possible places where there might be people and secretly found a corner that was not easily discovered. She stood facing the wall with her hands clenched tightly by her side. It was so quiet that even her ears began to ring. She did not make a single sound and suddenly became lifeless as if she had become one with the surrounding concrete.
"Baseball guy!!!"
A person was approaching her with heavy footsteps.
"Look at what you've done!
Why did you give up halfway?
Are you looking down on me?! "
This person was none other than Bao Hao Sheng, who was infuriated by Zuo Ye's abstention.
He walked over and roughly turned Zoe's body over. He reached out his hand to grab her collar, regardless of whether his actions would hurt her or not. "Answer me, baseball guy —"
Who would have thought that the silent person in front of him would suddenly grab his outstretched hand, while the other hand had already grabbed his throat at lightning speed.
"Bastard …" Takeshi only had time to say one word before he felt his right foot being lifted. He was pushed straight back by the hand on his neck and the back of his head hit the floor. He was in a trance for a moment.
But it was only for a moment. The eyes of the person on top of him were so crazy that he instantly reacted and wanted to resist.
He didn't even use his personality. He punched Zoe's face with his bloody fist, but found that she didn't move at all.
Her eyes, which had been full of smiles, were now filled with uncontrollable fierceness and violence, which was frightening.
Zoe didn't seem to feel anything. She just tightened her grip on Takeshi's neck.
"Bastard, what the hell are you doing?"
Bao Hao let out a few gasps from her pinch. He didn't think about being polite with her and mercilessly pinched the wound on her waist that was caused by his explosion.
Bastard!
Let's see who will admit defeat first!!!
Zoe's face instantly turned pale and her eyes regained some clarity. It seemed that it was very painful.
She had just relaxed her grip a little when Takeshi hit her with his elbow. It seemed to be a heavy blow, but Zoe didn't feel much pain. He really just wanted to push her away.
Zoe woke up. When she realized what she had done, she was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked over and saw him sitting up. He was panting heavily as he rubbed his neck that was hurting from her scratches. "B-Bragging, it's really …"
"Shut up!"
His throat was very uncomfortable. Takeshi shouted irritably. He didn't have the urge to rush up and ask her why she ran away halfway.
"I …"
"Fengze classmate!"
Zoe looked over and saw Midaya standing in the corner with a worried look on his face. He slowly walked over in his slippers.
He also saw Takeshi. "Ka-chan?"
Breuxent's voice came from the broadcast. "Moses Moses Takeshi classmate!
Where are you??
The last match is about to begin!
If you don't get to the waiting room in five minutes, I'll take it as you forfeit!! "
Takeshi snorted and stood up. He touched his red neck and left the corner without looking at Zoe or Midaya.
Midaya watched Takeshi leave and then turned to look at Zoe. He found that she didn't want to talk about what had just happened. He could only ask, "That … Fengze classmate, are you okay?"
Zoe stood up and whispered, "I'm fine."
How could you be fine … Midaya wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zoe's next words.
She looked up and composed herself. She had a comforting smile on her face. "I'll be fine. Midaya, you go first. I want to be alone.
You came to find me when you were injured. Thank you very much. "
At this point, Green Valley could not stay any longer. He could only slowly walk back to the spectator stands as he had walked over.
He finally turned his head and saw the familiar white-haired girl shrouded in the shadow of the wall. She still had a kind smile on her face, but the smile on her lips didn't reach her eyes.
"…"
He could only find another time to talk to her.
He knew that Iida had a longing for Ingenium. To Iida, Ingenium was as important as Orumit.
Although he didn't know the relationship between Fengze and Ingenium, if he could make Fengze become like that …
"They must be very close to each other …"
Midaya couldn't help but say something that was overheard by Misako. She asked, "Kohisa Kun, what did you say?"
Midaya waved his hand and smiled bitterly. "Nothing, I'm just … a little worried about Fengze's condition …"
Finishing his words, he looked ahead. There, the three podiums had already risen from the smoke and confetti.
The fidgety Young Chieuran was a stark contrast to the two second and third place finishers. His dissatisfaction with the results of the competition made it so that he had to be chained up before he could enter the arena. Even so, he couldn't stay still and struggled with all his might, the chains clanging against each other.
Orumit was in charge of giving out the awards, and Zoe was the first to receive a medal.
She had found a recovery teacher to treat her injuries. Now, her hands were wrapped in bandages and her face was covered with a band-aid.
Orumit said a few words to her after putting on the medal. Zoe didn't pay much attention and didn't know what he said.
Olumet saw that she was distracted and didn't know what to say for a while. He could only say, "Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine." After hugging her, he went to give the award to the second place winner, Hong Jiao Leng.
