Chapter 331: Hiro vs Misha: The Winner!

"Sorry! Seems like I can't give up yet!"

Misha said as she pointed her sword at Hiro. With her new power, she wanted to once again challenge Hiro.

Hiro didn't expect that Misha would have the urge to keep fighting. He knew her well enough to know that she was not such a rash person.

Misha would indeed give her everything in anything she did but she also knew her limits. Hiro also knew that earlier, Misha had given up and was about to surrender.

Hiro was confused by this change of behavior. Nevertheless, he was prepared to fight. No matter whether she wanted to continue the fight or not, he thought that the result would remain the same.

In his opinion, Misha had shown everything she had, and nothing was left for her to show. Furthermore, he was in better condition than Misha.

-WHOOSH!

!!!

However, Hiro was caught off guard. Misha's speed didn't increase with her rank, however, she was exhausted and was also injured and could not be at her top speed previously. But now, she could somewhat show her real speed. That's how Misha managed to surprise Hiro

She quickly took this moment to strike at Hiro who was unprepared for her new power.

-SLASH!

Hiro immediately reacted and backed off. However, Misha had left a cut on his back.

Hiro immediately turned around and tried to protect himself.

-CLANG!

Once again Hiro was left dumbfounded. He had previously easily blocked Misha's strike, however, he was having some trouble this time. It felt like Misha's strength had increased.

-CLANK!

Hiro was pushed back by Misha. Hiro quickly regained his footing and prepared himself to defend himself against Misha's attack.

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Rose Blossom" ]

[ "StarShatterer Style: Complete Annihilation" ]

Hiro used his skills to block Misha's attack. Once again, he was overwhelmed by Misha's strength. He could not tell what had happened to Misha.

( Was she hiding her power? )

Hiro thought. It made sense that she could show this power if she was hiding her power though he could not think of a reason to hide one's strength in the final match where she was losing. He never had thought that Misha had broken through as this was a very rare case.

Hiro noticed the change in Misha's strength and speed, and he realized that he was in trouble. He knew that he could not keep up with her if she continued to fight at this level.

He could have easily handled such power if he was in good condition. However, with the damage sustained from the battle with Zion and also from his earlier fight with Misha, Misha's current strength and speed were too much for him to handle.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

The table had turned. Hiro was finding it much harder to defend himself and was hit multiple times by Misha.

[ "Devoted Star: Limit Release" ]

Hiro had no choice but to use this skill. He might end up in the same situation as Zion because his body was not in good condition. But he had to give his all or else he might lose.

Pain surged through his body as he activated the skill. Hiro remained calm and didn't react much to the pain. Though it was more like he can't afford to show his pain as Misha fiercely attacked him.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

Hiro was able to parry all her attacks. With his increased strength, he was able to deal with Misha's increased power.

Misha was surprised by Hiro's sudden surge of power. However, she had already expected this since she already knew about this skill. She had indeed pushed Hiro to the extent that he had to rely on his Trump card.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Void Destruction" ]

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Petal In The Wind" ] ...

She continued to push herself to her limits and fought fiercely against Hiro. While she was getting exhausted, she knew that it was also the same for Hiro.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

The sound of metal clashing against metal filled the stadium as the two sword users fought with all their might. Hiro's body was giving up on him, but he also refused to give up on the fight.

The crowd went wild. They had truly seen the talent of Ace Academy students today. Other students' fights were all trash compared to the fight shown by Ace Academy students.

Even Misha, who was not very popular and only a few people were aware that she was in the tournament, had shown power beyond anyone's imagination. Even the all-time favorite to win the tournament, Hiro, had difficulty winning.

"Oh, this is going to be a good one!"

A man in the audience exclaimed.

"Absolutely! I've been waiting for this fight for weeks! I thought that Hiro would easily win. I have not heard about Misha Kanon but she is an absolute genius. I am supporting her to win."

Another responded.

The audience was completely engrossed in the battle, watching intently as Hiro and Misha clashed their swords with incredible speed and precision.

"Woah, did you see that move?"

A woman shouted, as Hiro deftly dodged one of Misha's attacks.

"Yeah, he's got some serious skill."

A man responded, nodding in approval. Even when it had been hours, they were not bored. In fact, the longer the fight went on, the more anticipation they had of the fight.

The battle continued, with each fighter showing off their unique techniques and abilities. The audience was completely mesmerized, watching in awe as the two sword users fought with everything they had.

As the fight continued, the audience began to cheer louder and louder, encouraging the fighters on.

"Come on, Misha! You can do it!"

A group of girls shouted as Misha landed a powerful blow on Hiro. They had become fans of Misha after witnessing this fight. They also wanted to be as strong as Misha.

"Let's go, Hiro! Show her what you're made of!"

Another group of girls responded, cheering as Hiro retaliated with a series of rapid strikes. The girls were Hiro fangirls and cheered loudly for him.

The energy in the stadium was electric, with the audience completely invested in the fight. They cheered, gasped, and applauded as the battle raged on.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

Once again they were locked in another clash. It seemed like an eternity. However, nothing lasts forever. The same was true for this fight as it drew to a close. With their stamina, they could not last for 5 minutes.

-THUD!

When Hiro was preparing to do his ultimate attack, unexpectedly Misha's sword fell from her hand, followed by her body.

The referee went to check on Misha.

Misha had completely lost consciousness. Her body was already on its limit even if she had broken through and at that moment, it had shut down.

The referee signaled the end of the battle and announced the winner.

"The winner of the final match is Hiro Ernest!"
