"You're up next, Hina-nee," I said as the mayor announced the next match.
"Hm I'm facing against that guy who was nearly exhausted earlier, right?" she murmured thoughtfully. "I wonder has he recovered?"
"He seems fine right now, so my guess is yes," Furuwa replied as Ling Tian Yu walked onto the stage nonchalantly. There was no sign of sweat or tiredness on his face whatsoever.
"Heh he was half-dead earlier, and now he's completely fine after a re two hours? What kind of dicine or pill did that take, I wonder~?" Nadeshiko giggled softly.
"Either way be careful of him, Hina-nee," I said darkly. "His LUC stat is not just for show. From what I saw earlier he causes his opponent to have bad luck, therefore in turn giving himself 'good' luck."
"Mm, I saw. Don't worry, I've never really believed in luck. My philosophy is that true power is superior to 'luck'. I'll prove that today."
I smiled. "Good luck. You got this."
Hina-nee pulled into a gentle embrace for a few seconds, before kissing gently on the cheek and at last letting go and heading onto the stage.
"Wha" I touched the spot where she had kissed , unsure of what to do.
Furuwa glanced at in disgust while Nadeshiko laughed.
"Damn it, Aisa when can I get rid of my emotion of embarrassnt?"
" Hmph."
Little did I know, Hina-nee was about to walk into her own death.

(Hina's Perspective)
I took out my two weapons and pointed one at my opponent, Ling Tian Yu.
"You know your luck is really sothing."
"Heh, ain't that right?" he rubbed his nose proudly. "At this rate, you might even fall in love with 'accidentally', haha! Oh, that would be aweso!"
"Were you born with this luck, or is it so artifact, I wonder?"
"H-Huh? What's it matter to you?" he laughed awkwardly.
I grinned like a devil. "Well, if it's an artifact, I want it. Unfortunately since I don't trust you, I'll have to kill you to do that."
The man chuckled. "K-Kill ? Not happening! Not today, no sir!"
"We'll see about that."
I rubbed my two Sai together, sharpening their edges.
"Both sides are ready!" the mayor declared, preparing to begin the match. "In that case the match will now BEGIN!"
Ling Tian Yu made the first move he leaped towards with all he had, broadsword ready to swing down and cleave in half. However, his stats were all below mine with the exception of LUC, of course. I also had the Inspect II skill Kaze-kun had, so I was able to verify this information.
I dodged out of the way with ease and imdiately counterattacked, closing the distance between him and I right after dashing backwards, like a coiled snake, ready to strike.
His eyes widened and he leaned back slightly in a panic. My Sai just barely didn't reach. I kept trying to attack, but by now he had fully reacted to my attacks and brought his own weapon back up in defense.
In annoyance, I sent a flying kick upwards in an attempt to kick his sword out of his hand, but unfortunately, it didn't work. It still did, however, leave his stomach open for a brief mont. There was no ti to use my Sai, so instead, I followed my montum, spinning around and unleashing a second kick with my other foot right after landing back on my first one.
This one was aid straight at his vulnerability, and even his luck didn't help him here.
Ling Tian Yu was hit directly by my powerful kick, sent skidding backwards quite the distance. He didn't fall over, surprisingly, but it still did so damage that was for sure.
"D-Damn that hurt," he muttered, clutching the spot where I hit him in pain.
I smirked and didn't let him catch a break, imdiately moving in once more with my two Sai.
He quickly recomposed himself and braced for battle.
But this ti, I was going for sothing different.
It was a gamble, but it was also my ultimate move. My killer one that I have been practicing ever since I first picked up the Sai, back on Earth.
I've used this against my sparring opponents multiple tis. Not once has it failed. And it will not fail this ti either.
Right before our blades clashed, I suddenly tossed one of my Sai high up into the air, then t his sword with the other one. With my now-free hand, I grabbed his arm that held the sword and sank a hard kick into his stomach once more, right where I had already hit him once.
He was surprised by my sudden motion, distracted by the Sai soaring through the air, so it allowed to get an opening and land that devastating kick.
Since I was holding his arm, it prevented him from being sent flying backward like he did the first ti, and instead rely staggered him. He was now left completely disard and vulnerable.
Then, I let go of his arm and caught my Sai that fell from the air, before plunging it straight through his che-
"!"
Sohow, the Sai slipped out of my hand as I caught it.
Ling Tian Yu did not miss this opportunity and imdiately punched with his free arm, right in the gut.
"Ngh-!" I fell backwards from the force, painfully hitting the stage's floor. My remaining Sai flew out of my hand as well from the impact.
"Ah" I gasped, quickly attempting to get to my feet. But Ling Tian Yu did not let .
He imdiately rushed over and stepped on my stomach, driving his heel into my abdon.
"K-Kah" I groaned in agony, trying desperately to lift his foot off but to no avail.
He wore a triumphant, perhaps slightly psychopathic, smile on his face.
"Hehehe you lost. I'm better. I'm stronger!"
Saying this, he lifted his sword. As my vision slowly began to get hazy and eyelids heavy, he brought it down with all of his might.
"K-Kaze-kun I'm sorry"

(Kaze's Perspective)
"The winner is Ling Tian Yu!"
I clenched my fist tightly, hard enough to draw blood.
Don't lose it, Kaze DON'T LOSE IT!
My eyes burned with dark rage and murderous intent as I stared at the stage, where Ling Tian Yu had just stabbed his sword straight through Hina-nee's chest. He laughed and put his sword back in its sheath, before strolling off the stage happily.
I didn't feel sad about the death of Hina-nee. No the emotion known as sadness had already been removed from my heart. The hormones that would've originally went into being sad have now all converted into one emotion and one alone:
Hatred.
Fury, amplified thousandfold.
" I'm going to kill him," I muttered under my breath.
He shall be slain.
He shall pay.
He shall be forever lost in the dark corners of ti, never to be rembered.
I would already kill soone if they laid a hand on a single strand of Hina-nee's hair. But this bastard he actually dared to kill her. He dared to murder my sister, right before my very eyes.
I will slaughter him so harshly that not even his soul will remain. I will put him through torture, through all kinds of pain. It's really a sha that he isn't a player otherwise, I could've killed him over and over again until I was satisfied.
He only has one life and I intend to tornt it to the fullest, before ending it for good.
If you harm or insult , I would simply turn you into my pawns and use you as a sacrifice.
But if you dare to lay a hand on the people I care about I will put you through eternal suffering, never to see the light of day ever again.
Prepare yourself, Ling Tian Yu. By the ti I'm done with you, you'll be grateful when I finally end that pitiful life of yours.
Too bad I lost the emotion of pity too.
"K-Kaze, calm down," Furuwa said, startled to see this side of . "Sakura-senpai will respawn anyway-"
"Shut up."
I broke away from the crowd and began heading in the sa direction Ling Tian Yu had, dead set on murdering him and carving him into tiny pieces to feed to the wolves.
But a hand grabbed my arm. To my surprise, it was not Furuwa, but Nadeshiko.
"Not now, Kaze~" she shook her head. "You'll be facing him in the finals do it then. It won't be long."
I glared her in the eyes, as if threatening to kill her as well, but she did not back down. In her eyes was a fierce determination that did not match her usual airy and carefree nature. It didn't fit her bloodthirsty and maniacal personality when killing, either.
Perhaps this was her true personality? Her personality beyond the abuse and loneliness she's suffered all her life?
Well that didn't matter.
In that mont, I only had one goal:
Expunging Ling Tian Yu from this world, forever.
