My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 450 Sacrifice For Victory

There were plenty of defeaning explosions that occurred in the school coliseum in the past year. However, this particular explosion shook everyone to their core. When Satoshi jumped forward, they were expecting him to disappear since the spatial traps could easily eat his body away in an instant.

For a moment, Fuuka thought that she had just killed Satoshi. After all, he jumped at her without hesitation.

A chain reaction then occurred, and the traps went out all at once.

But surprisingly, Satoshi aimed right where the sound traps were, and he did well to cover his ears to avoid the destruction of his eardrums. The intense sound did damage his skin though, creating scratches and slashes when they hit.

That opening was enough for Satoshi. The moment the traps went out, Satoshi's mind then put out all his thoughts, and the only thing he had in his mind was the countdown before all the traps went out.

"1.16 seconds... and done!" Satoshi said.

Without even opening his eyes, he already knew where to charge.

Satoshi sidestepped, and then he charged forward without restraint. One moment, the explosion occurred, the next moment, the smoke in front of Fuuka was disturbed, and out came Satoshi seemingly unscathed.

"I got you," Satoshi muttered as he punched Fuuka straight into her solar plexus. He punched her just enough to knock the air out of his lungs. He was especially careful not to break any of her ribs.

"Kahk~!" Fuuka gasped as she curled on the ground. She could tell that Satoshi was holding back. Although she gave it her all to defeat her, he still held back against her.

"I... forfeit." She said. It wouldn't look good for her if she continued fighting. After all, Satoshi went out of his way to go easy on her.

"Satoshi jumped where there are more sound traps, and then he timed his attack pretty well so the girl wouldn't recover. Not bad... not bad at all." Tatsuki muttered to himself as he heaved a sigh of relief. It was pretty obvious that he was ready to charge into the stage, though, since his wings and his superspeed was activated.

"You didn't have to jump in there, dear. I knew our son would handle it." Ayumu smiled, patting her husband on the back. Honestly, she was also panicking a couple of seconds ago.

The audience erupted into cheers at the unexpected outcome of the match. They were too sure that Satoshi would lose, and yet he was able to turn the tide of the match to his advantage.

Fighting against a formidable foe without using your superpower is outstanding enough as it is. But Satoshi was able to come out victorious as well.

"Winner! Midoriyama Satoshi!" Knighthawk called out.

Once the smoke cleared up, it was obvious that Satoshi had received more damage than everyone initially thought. His clothes were torn to shreds, and there were countless slashes on his skin. Blood slowly dripped from the slashes, which just goes to show that the wounds were deeper than they appeared.

"Are you all right?" Satoshi asked, extending his hand towards Fuuka who was still wheezing on the ground. It didn't hurt as much anymore, but she still felt her loss deep within.

When she looked up, she noticed that Satoshi was bleeding everywhere. Her eyes went wide and she shook her head. "What are you talking about? Look at yourself, you're more beat up than I was." Fuuka bit her lips in slight frustration. "I'm sorry... I didn't hold back."

"It's fine," Satoshi said, grabbing Fuuka by the hand and propping her up.

Quite frankly, Satoshi could've summoned Sera right then and there to heal his wounds. But he wanted to spend more time with the slashes on his body. They were literal battle wounds, and they looked pretty cool. Hence he didn't party ways with them just yet.

When Satoshi and Fuuka walked off the stage, their classmate congratulated them for such an epic fight. The atmosphere within the class was light, even though Satoshi looked like he just arrived from war.

"Wow, you're more sculpted than I thought." Hiroshi complimented.

"Lock this image in your mind, everyone, it's not every day we get to see Satoshi without his shirt," Midori announced.

A couple of steps from them, Kuroe was busy taking pictures with her phone, she knew that the girls in class would pay money just for these priceless pictures. And well, she was planning to keep some of it for herself.

"In any case, you have another fight after this, right? Are you still going?" Hiroshi asked.

"Of course, he's going. A man never backs down from a fight." Kurogami commented, nodding his head as he took a peek at Satoshi's abs.

In response, Satoshi nodded his head and summoned Sera. Technically, he was allowed to summon his tamed beast since the fight was over.

Without further ado, he commanded Sera to heal him. It didn't take long before Satoshi's wounds completely disappeared. He had to get new pair of clothes though since Sera couldn't really heal torn clothing.

...

Meanwhile,

"To think that he won against Fuuka. I guess there's still hope." The man in a suit mumbled, adjusting his glasses as he addressed the other man beside him.

"But we can't just ask him to help us... right?" The other man replied. "And his parents is the top superheroes of the country. What reward could we even give him? Perhaps... it would be better if we ask someone else."

"No, I'm sure he will say yes. We just have to play our cards right."

"And? How do you propose we do that?"

"J-just... I don't know either, but we have to do it..."

"Right,"

"Right, of course,"

The two men deeply exhaled before they stood up. They've seen enough and now it was time for them to leave. After all, it would be bad if that person saw them within the crowd.
