Lost Again

"Is Fuyun going to lose too?"

Mitaro gripped the railing and looked out onto the field, saying with a hint of resentment.

If they lose again, then their Team 1 will have no prestige at all.

Consequently, everyone turned to look at Ye Liangnai, Yagura, and other high-ranking officials, hoping to glean some insightful opinions or comments from them.

But to their disappointment, they all watched the game intently without making a sound.

Only Mei Terumi's eyes gleamed, her thoughts unknown.

Inside the stadium!

After dodging Saki Mirako's shuriken, Buyun Fuyun retreated a great distance for some reason, completely away from the place where the shuriken landed.

The crowd looked at her actions with puzzlement, not quite understanding why she did it.

What is the point of doing this?

But they soon realized!

Saki Mirako said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. It seems that it will be difficult to put you at a disadvantage with such a small trick!"

As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and something astonishing happened: the shuriken seemed to be manipulated, and they flew back towards Saki Mirako with a whoosh.

Under the sunlight, several crystalline but delicate Steel Wire were gathered by Saki Mirako and wrapped around the arm guards at the junction of her palm and arm.

"I also watched your match in the Bell-Grabbing Operation a month ago. Your shuriken and Steel Wire combination tactics even caught Ye Liangnai- sama's Water Clone off guard. I dare not let my guard down against you!"

Fuyun spoke with a serious expression. After speaking, he stomped hard and rushed towards Mei Liangzi like an arrow, intending to engage in close combat.

"Close combat, huh? Then I'll take you on!"

Seeing this, Saki Mirako smiled faintly, calmly assumed a fighting stance, and then rushed towards Fuyun.

"Bang!"

The two men clashed fist to fist, their blows evenly matched, neither retreating, and then they collided again.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Thump!"

Despite being two women, their clash was no less impressive; they proved to be just as capable and spirited as any man.

The entire arena reverberated with the sound of the waves, captivating everyone watching; it was truly spectacular.

Fists, kicks, elbows, knees—every inch of their body seemed to become a weapon, the fighting was incredibly fierce.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two fought and moved along the way, from one side of the arena to the other, and then back again, their punches and palm strikes fierce and astonishing.

It's clear that both of them have a very solid foundation in Taijutsu.

There is no way to determine a winner in a short period of time.

"It seems it will take some time before we can determine the winner between them!"

Seeing this scene, many spectators thought to themselves.

"Hehe, it's over. Fighting Mirako in close combat was not a good idea!"

But Nakamura Shota suddenly smiled and said something that made it seem like Mirako was sure to win.

This left everyone around bewildered. It was clearly a draw, so how did Saki Mirako suddenly become the clear winner? Where did she get her courage and confidence?

Fuyun naturally heard what Nakamura Shota said, and she was quite puzzled, even a little angry.

You really look down on her that much? You think she'll lose to Saki Mirako?

However, suddenly, a glint of light flashed before her eyes, causing her to instinctively look away, but she immediately became wary.

Where does this crystalline reflection come from?

"Could it be..."

She quickly retreated from the close combat with Saki Mirako, staring intently at the spot that had just been shimmering with crystalline light, and her pupils immediately contracted.

The crystalline object was actually a series of Steel Wire, and the source was in Saki Mirako's hands. The end of the wires extending from the source was right under her feet, where a bunch of tiny Steel Wire had been woven into a snare, just one pull away from binding her tightly.

"Looks like you've figured it out. What a pity, I was just one step away from binding you without you even realizing it!"

Saki Mirako smiled again, but then suddenly pulled her right hand back. Amidst a shimmering light, coils of Steel Wire shot up and wrapped around Fuyun, giving her no chance to form hand seals and break free.

However, since Fuyun had discovered the crystalline reflection in advance, how could she not take precautions? With a bang, she turned into a stone, and her substitute dodged the attack.

But seeing this, Saki Mirako showed no sign of annoyance. She tore off the Steel Wire in her right hand and punched behind her.

"Bang!"

As soon as Fuyun appeared, he was blasted back by a punch from Saki Mirako. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Saki Mirako flicked her wrist again and fired several shuriken that grazed past Fuyun's body.

But before the shuriken could be driven into the arena wall, Miyako pulled back with her left hand again, and another glittering Steel Wire flashed across the shuriken, binding the unsuspecting Fuyun into a dumpling and forcing him to lose his fighting ability!

The outcome is already decided!

"Seriously? It ended so quickly again? When did Team 1 become so weak?"

The spectators on the field couldn't help but question their own existence.

Of course, no one would think that Fuyun is weak; they would only think that Saki Mirako is too strong.

"Wait, what if Mitaro's opponent is also Nakamura Shota from Team 2? Then wouldn't he be...?!?!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the only person from Team 1 who hadn't played yet— Mitaro —looking at him with a hint of pity and reluctance.

This made Mitaro's face turn black.

Do these people really not trust him?

"Next game!"

Inside the stadium, the referee has already begun announcing the start of the next match.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to that side, only to see two new names appear on the large screen.

But everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw those two names.

Fortunately, it wasn't Mitaro facing off against Nakamura Shota.

Upon seeing this result, Nakamura Shota couldn't help but look disappointed, Mitaro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even he himself was confused as to why he had such a reaction!

Perhaps deep down, he had already begun to feel that he Nakamura Shota.

"As expected of Mirako-neechan, she's truly amazing!"

Upon seeing Saki Mirako's return, Nakamura Shota praised her with a smile.

"If you hadn't said anything, I might have won much faster, Shota. Your reminder is putting me in a difficult position!"

As she spoke, a needle and thread appeared in her hand, and she said, "Don't do this again next time, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control my hands!"

Upon hearing this, Nakamura Shota immediately took a long step back, his face full of 'fear' as he fawned, "Hehe, Mirako-neechan, I promise I won't do it again next time. Please forgive me this time, you know I just love to talk!"

Wow, this is clearly not the first time he's backed down.
