This match was different from the beforehand match. No cheer from the spectators, but a silence befell to the arena.
Arun Seth, who was famous for his fla power, was not well received by the spectators. Arun Seth was the first one to arrive at the stage.
He wore a red robe and protective gear inside. Beside his fla power, Arun Seth was famous for his spear play. It proved with a silver spear in his hand.
Not long after that, Musashi Hirata ca out as well. The silence spectators exclaid in surprise, it was because of his outfit. Heero Academy's martial clothes, the sa outfit that Kang Seo-Yeon had.
Heero Academy left a deep impression on the spectators. From two juniors who dominated the Junior Event until the Free Fighter that was dominated by Butcher Wang.
Each of their performances could be described as total dominance. Kang Seo-Yeon also won the fight beautifully early, so the arena buzzed in the discussion.
For people living in the core region, they were familiar with his na. However, people from outside the core region or even outside the city had little information about Hirata.
Most of the spectators were disappointed after they found Musashi Hirata's real identity. He was just an unranked Gold Class Hero.
They were disappointed as the difference between the two participants was big. Arun Seth was a Crown Class Ranker, but their expectation was spiked up a little because Musashi Hirata was part of the Heero Academy.
Climbing up the stage, Musashi Hirata scanned his opponent. He nodded his head and looked at the referee, "Old Man, Don't stop , okay? I am not going to kill him, but break a few of his bones!"
Hirata was aware he could not vent to his heart's content if this old man interrupted him. Hence he made a request before the fight started.
Long Bin's mouth twitched when he heard those words. He was a part of The Elder, but this guy called him with no honorific.
'He hasn't changed a bit'
Yes, Long Bin was familiar with the two Musashi Brothers. He often visited the Musashi Clan because of the close relationship with their grandfather who was his senior in the Hero League.
He ignored Hirata's remark, but not with Arun Seth who also overheard the conversation.
"Haha, what a big mouth!" Arun Seth laughed as fury etched on his face, "I am the one who will burn your disgusting face, Traitor! I will make you pay for your betrayal!"
Musashi Hirata shrugged his shoulders at his opponent's remark. He rely smirked as he found Arun Seth's statent calling him a traitor was laughable.
"Traitor? Interesting" Musashi Hirata shot a glance toward Long Bin and said, "Old Man, how long are you going to watch this useless banter? Start the match already!"
Long Bin shook his head and slamd his steel staff, "Start!"
Arun Seth still had his spear down, waiting for his opponent to make a move. He was not familiar with Musashi Clan's technique, he did not want to be careless even though his opponent was not the famous Naizen.
"I thought you were going to burn my handso face, why are you standing still!" Hirata exclaid with a smirk.
Arun Seth did not fall into Hirata's cheap provocation. He heard a fleeting rumor that Naizen was defeated by Hirata. Even though no one could confirm the rumor, Arun Seth was cautious.
Shaking his head in disappointnt, Hirata walked forward. Yes, he casually strode to his opponent which was about forty ters apart. His left hand was holding a katana.
It was a katana given to him by Heero. The sheath was dark red with a pitch-black handle. Just like that, Hirata just like soone who walked around the street.
He casually strode to his opponent, causing Arun Seth to frown. Even Long Bin kept shaking his head repeatedly as he found Hirata did not take the match seriously.
As the distance shortened to twenty ters, Hirata stopped. Long Bin was standing five ters away from him and he sheathed out his sword.
The sword's color was black and red. The blade side was deep red while the blunt side was black.
Just as everyone thought Musashi Hirata would make a serious move, he aid the sword to the ground. The sword was stuck on the ground and he continued his casual walking with a sheath in his right hand.
The spectators were confused by his action, but not for Long Bin. He got the ssage behind the action. It was basically telling him, "Look, Old Man! I leave my sword here, so don't stop !"
While Long Bin got the ssage, Arun Seth was seething in fury. Putting the sword away and facing him only with a sheath of a sword. It was clear Hirata was humiliating him.
With his head blinded with fury, Arun Seth unleashed his awakening ability. A fla in the form of a hurricane appeared in front of Musashi Hirata, blocking his path.
"Woaaaaa!"
The spectators exclaid in surprise with the sudden appearance of the fla.
Musashi Hirata halted his step as a strong heat assaulted his face. His eyes turned blue from activating Mystical Eyes. He was checking the fla before him.
Hirata saw a trace of colorful energy his Master talked about. However, the energy was faint, aning this fla was not solid enough compared to the Ki he learned.
With a smirk ford on his lips, he remarked in a carefree tone, "A cheap trick!"
Musashi Hirata entered the hurricane fla, causing the spectators to gasp in shock. He could turn around, avoiding the fla. However, he did not do so and faced the fla directly.
No one knew what happened inside the blazing fla. Their sight was blocked by the intense red fla.
But soon, everyone saw Musashi Hirata coming out from the other side. He left the hurricane fla unscathed, not even a burn mark could be seen from his martial clothes.
Not only the spectators, but even Arun Seth was also stunned to see this. He felt deja vu, he rembered his encounter against an unknown guy in the outer region.
However, his encounter with that unknown guy was scarier. The guy could negate his fla while Musashi Hirata only managed to leave the fla unscathed.
"If one is not enough, what about three!" Arun Seth gritted his teeth and summoned three consecutive pillars of flas.
Now, the four fla pillars surrounded Hirata. Hirata himself could feel the three newly summoned fla pillars were stronger than the first one.
Even so, he could see that Arun Seth's control over his power was not that good. Just as he wanted to pass through the fla pillar just like what he did before, he stopped as a thought appeared in his mind.
"What about cutting the fla? Can I cut the fla with my Ki?"
He rembered what his Master told him about Ki. It was that he could do anything with Ki as long as his control over Ki was perfect.
They could fly if they wanted to, he had witnessed his Master walking in the air. Everything almost possible with Ki mastery.
'Maybe, I can cut this fla too' As he thought this, he concentrated his Ki on the sheath in his right hand.
Taking a deep breath, his hand moved at the sa ti he exhaled his breath out. The sheath slashed at the fla pillar in front of him and a shocking phenonon unfolded.
The fla pillar was cut half by his sheath. The top part vanished into nothingness, but the red fla still blazed on the ground. The ten ters fla pillar was now only a little over a ter.
Musashi Hirata was delighted as he succeeded in cutting the fla pillar. He did not stop there and continued the other fla pillars. In ten seconds, the overwhelming fla pillars were gone, leaving only four bonfires around him.
He grinned ear to ear as he looked at the stunned Arun Seth. Never crossed in his mind that his fla would be negated in such a way.
"I am not done yet!!!" Arun Seth yelled and rushed toward Hirata. He leaped up and thrust his spear toward Hirata's chest.
The spear pierced through Hirata's chest. The spectators exclaid in surprise while Arun Seth was delighted to see his spear pierced his opponent's chest.
But the happy expression did not last long. He found out soon the one in front of him was only an afterimage. He was petrified as his spear pierced through empty air.
"I am here!" A voice could be heard from his back.
Arun Seth's instinct was telling him to go away, but then harrowing pain assaulted his calf. At the sa ti, he let out a piercing cry, an agonizing cry that filled the whole arena.
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Just from hearing the cry, it made one's body tremble. The spectators did not dare imagine how painful it was, making a Crown Class Ranker scread like that.
Arun Seth limped away, making a distance from Musashi Hirata. From the big screen on the top of the arena, the spectators could see Arun Seth's right calf was crooked.
Arun Seth did not dare put his gaze away from Musashi Hirata. He focused his gaze at Musashi Hirata who only looked at him as he limped away.
Soon, he noticed sothing strange with Hirata in his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide as he heard a voice from behind.
"Are you looking for ?"
Along with the question, Arun Seth let out another piercing cry. He fell on the ground, trying to cover his both crooked legs. This ti, it was his left calf. The pain caused him to tear up.
Looking at Musashi Hirata in fear, Arun Seth opened his mouth. He wanted to admit defeat and of course, Hirata noticed what the opposite party wanted to do.
He raised his sheath, his eyes focusing on Arun Seth's right arm. But before he could make his move, an Old Man's voice resounded, "Young'un, that's enough! You won!"
"Musashi Hirata won!" Long Bin announced and at the sa, the sheath that aid at Arun Seth's arm stopped halfway.
"Tsk, Old Man, I thought we had a deal!" Musashi Hirata shook his head in regret.
Long Bin rolled his eyes and thought, 'I never promised or agree with your action, '
Deep inside, the old man was also surprised, 'I heard the rumor that the younger brother is less competent, but it seems the rumor is just a rumor, it could not be trusted'
Musashi Hirata's footwork that left an afterimage was enough to shock him.
"I don't know what grudge you have against him, but a ranker also made their contributions to the city. You can't ruin his future just because of a petty grudge of a hero and ranker!" Old Man Long Bin advised the young Hirata.
Musashi Hirata shrugged his shoulder in return, "I don't care whether he is a hero or ranker! But he offended soone he should not have offended!"
Musashi Hirata walked back to his sword, on the way, he took out sothing from his martial clothes. It was a flag, a black flag with "Heero Academy' written on it.
The black-colored flag and the word was written in a crimson. He tied the flag on the sheath then he put the sheath on his shoulder.
This was the way Musashi Hirata glorified and showed the world of the Heero Academy's existence. The flag fluttered as he ca back to the waiting room.
Such a simple movent, but leaving a deep impression on the spectators.
