Chapter 1772 - Duel 2
Erika and Hattori stood a few meters away while staring at each other.
Mari stood on their side and explained the rules. "I\'ll explain the rules. Use of any technique inflicted fatally, or non-recoverable damage is strictly prohibited. Direct attacks are limited to causing nothing more than a sprain. The use of weapons is prohibited, but attacking bare-handed is allowed. The one that loses will be determined by the referee based on the inability to continue fighting. If you break the rules, you will be dealt with by me. Be prepared."
Hattori looked at Erika and started a battle simulation on his mind. On the other hand, Erika was eager to show her beat Hattori right away.
"Are you ready?" Mari looked at both of them, and they also gave her a nod. She raised her hand and shouted, "Begin!"
Hattori was about to use his CAD, but his wrist, the location where he wore his CAD, was slammed by Erika\'s baton directly. "Agh!" He held his wrist then felt a cold baton on his neck.
Erika smiled and said, "I won, Senpai."
"……"
Everyone, except for Haru, was stunned at the moment they could see how powerful Erika was.
"The - The winner is Chiba Erika!" Mari said and announced the winner.
"Congratulations, Chiba-san," Mayumi said happily. After all, Erika had won the duel, which meant their plan to erase the discrimination in this school could be implemented.
Erika smiled smugly, looked at Haru with a snort, then walked to Miyuki and Tatsuya. She then patted Tatsuya\'s shoulder and said, "Win, alright?"
Tatsuya only nodded and didn\'t say much, but then he looked at Haru.
Haru looked at Tatsuya and knew that this guy was the strongest magician in the world. He wasn\'t kidding when he said this since this guy was simply the strongest one that he might ever face, in terms of magic, of course.
Tatsuya only had limited main magic, which was Elemental Sight, Decomposition, and Regrowth.
Haru had to admit that even though there were only three of them, all of them were very powerful.
The first one was Elemental Sight, which made Tatsuya capable of connecting to the Information Dimension and identifying the landscape down to every detail. In other words, there was nothing that could be hidden from Tatsuya.
In truth, Tatsuya might be able to see Haru\'s real face if he wanted to do so, but it was quite rare for him to use his Elemental Sight. Still, if he used it, Haru would realize it, and Tatsuya hadn\'t used this ability till now, which was why he didn\'t realize Haru\'s real identity.
Still, Haru liked Tatsuya\'s ability, and he also developed a similar ability by using his "Horo Horo no Mi" power. After all, the work of Elemental Sight was quite similar to "Kenbunshoku Haki." Still, Elemental Sight had more details, which was why he added the power of "Horo Horo no Mi." Luckily, he was successful, and the result was great, but it wasn\'t perfect.
The "Horo Horo no Mi" was a power related to a soul, which meant he could see something that couldn\'t be seen and saw a lot of information through their soul. When Haru combined it with his powerful mental strength and computing brain, he created a fake or a weaker version of Elemental Sight.
The second one is Decomposition, which is also known as Dissolution, Disintegration and "Demon Right. It can destroy areas, objects, or obliterate sequences.
As for the last one, Regrowth, which is also known as Restoration, is the opposite of Tatsuya\'s decomposition powers. Instead of breaking down an Eidos or Sequence, it can restore it.
But even though both Decomposition and Regrowth were very powerful, without Elemental Sights, Tatsuya wouldn\'t be able to use those two abilities. Haru was able to use "Seal Magic" that he had gotten previously, and he could seal Tatsuya\'s power easily, or he could even steal that ability.
Still, it might be good to steal Tatsuya\'s Elemental Sight. After all, unlike both "Decomposition" and "Regrowth" that Haru could develop by himself, an Elemental Sight was an innate ability. It was like a superpower itself, and it was also a good ability.
Haru knew that Tatsuya\'s power was sealed by Miyuki by using "Pledge," which was known as Magic Limiter under Maya\'s order. However, he knew that Tatsuya was still able to use his Elemental Sight. Out of all Tatsuya\'s abilities, he was warier of Elemental Sight. After all, with that ability, he could see everything and turn it into data. Even though he could mimic Tatsuya\'s Elemental Sight, his fake Elemental Sight wasn\'t perfect.
If Haru let go of his guard, he might die by Tatsuya\'s hand if he used a "Decomposition." If Tatsuya used a "Decomposition" on himself, then he was sure that his body, including skin, flesh, nerves, body fluids, bones, and cellular structures, would be decomposed at a molecular level, leaving dust and gas. Of course, he could avoid this attack by turning himself into an astral mode. Still, with how buggy Tatsuya\'s ability was, he was sure that this guy could develop his "Decomposition" to erase a spiritual existence too in the future. So what if he added his time manipulation ability? He could manipulate the time of his body and surroundings, whether to rewind or fast forward, so even if he was hit by "Decomposition," he could return as usual without worry. Still, he dared to say that Tatsuya might develop a Loop-Cast "Decomposition" where he would be hit by infinite "Decomposition" as long as he gave Tatsuya time to develop.
But if Tatsuya lost his Elemental Sight, such a thing would be impossible. After all, without his elemental sight, he wouldn\'t be able to see the information and data of something instantly.
Haru knew that his action flirting with Miyuki might annoy Tatsuya. He also knew that someone could get crazy because of a woman, so he thought to steal Tatsuya\'s Elemental Sight since he was very tempted by this ability. He had combined his "Snatch" and "Steal" abilities with hard work and developed it further into a more powerful ability.
\'So it\'s time for me to test this ability.\' Haru knew that his new ability could steal anything, whether it was physical objects, the abilities of other creatures, or even conceptual things. In truth, he was quite greedy about Tatsuya\'s power and thought to steal all of them, but since Tatsuya was his nephew, he only decided to steal the Elemental Sight since he was a kind uncle.
"Alright, you two are next," Mari said.
Haru and Tatsuya nodded, and they prepared their CADs.
Tatsuya opened his suitcase and took out his pistol-shaped CADs, showing several CADs inside.
"Do you have this much prepared in storage?" Mari asked while looking at the inside of the suitcase curiously.
"Yeah, since I can\'t use essential magic without doing it like this given my ability," Tatsuya said.
"Is that so?" Mari didn\'t think too much, then looked at Haru, and asked, "Haru, where\'s your CAD?"
Haru only raised his smartphone, showing that it was his CAD.
Mari nodded and then asked, "So are you two ready?"
"Yes." Haru nodded.
Tatsuya also nodded.
"The rules are the same, so I won\'t explain it again, is that okay?"
Haru and Tatsuya nodded at the same time.
"Then…" Mari raised her hand high then swung it down. "Begin!"
Tatsuya thought to use his ninjutsu to surprise Haru, but a palm directly grabbed his face, and he was forced to slam on the ground!
Tatsuya was about to fight back, but somehow, he felt that his body became weak, and then he lost his ability to move. He might not be able to see Haru\'s face at this moment, but through the gap of Haru\'s fingers that grabbed his face, he could see a light smile on Haru\'s mouth this moment, but at this moment, he knew that he had lost.
"Onii-sama!" Miyuki shouted worriedly.
As for Haru, he felt happy inside since he knew that he was successful.
