Inside Duel Arena No. 35.
The torrential rain summoned by the Rain Tiger at Will Technique continued to rage.
It turned heaven and earth into an endless expanse of white rain.
Yahiko and Mikasa's battle had not slowed after their brief exchange.
Instead, it grew even more intense.
"Water Release: Water Shockwave!"
Yahiko formed hand seals at a speed like an illusion.
The rainwater and puddles before him rapidly gathered, transforming into a rotating waterspout over ten meters tall that roared toward Mikasa.
Then he rode the waves close behind it, a cold gleam flashing from the kunai in his hand as he prepared to strike a killing blow at any moment.
He really did have a bit of Tobirama Senju's youthful bearing.
It seemed he had not wasted his years at the Water Release Comprehensive Advanced Ninja School.
His Chakra reserves were also extraordinary—unquestionably at a genius level.
At the same time.
Mikasa clenched her teeth. Her eyes, usually as calm as deep pools, now burned with an obsession that refused to die.
She was being suppressed.
Under the relentless Water Release attacks unleashed by the boy named Yahiko.
Even her most skilled aerial maneuvering tactics and Wind Breathing Swordsmanship at the True Technique realm were proving difficult to sustain.
I can't lose. I absolutely can't fall here!
Rain slid down her delicate yet resolute face and dripped into the mud.
In her mind, she could not stop the image of the person who had tied a red scarf around her neck from surfacing.
Eren, and Armin.
If she wanted to revive them through legitimate means under the World Government.
Her only hope was to become one of the Top 10 and earn the right to make a wish to the Creator.
That meant she had to remain undefeated
