Vetto, radiating a beastly aura from head to toe.
He clenched both fists and smashed the tables and chairs before him to pieces.
He roared in shock and fury, "How is this possible?!"
Rhya had also lost all traces of his usual laziness.
His eyes widened as he muttered, "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?"
"Even Patry's Light Magic couldn't avoid it?"
At the same time.
In another contestants' lounge.
Bang watched Darkshine's overwhelmingly domineering full-force counterattack.
A pleased smile appeared on his handsome, youthful face.
Darkshine had indeed grown into a true martial artist and warrior.
That General Drill Rhino's methods might have been somewhat crude.
But they were undeniably effective.
Perhaps he could try them on disciples like Charanko in the future.
In the lounge next door, Divine Wind had a toothpick between his lips.
The corner of his mouth curled into a roguish, teasing grin.
"Heh, now that's more like it~"
"He finally looks somewhat like an S-Class hero."
Somewhere among the ground-level audience seats.
Garou, whose gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, slightly raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtful.
"That big guy actually broke through his own limits on the spot just now."
Garou silently analyzed what had just happened.
"If it had been me before today facing that move, there was an eighty percent chance I'd have been badly injured by that charge too."
"But now..."
A confident smile appeared on Garou's lips.
He had basically mastered the old man's improved Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Against such straightforward moves based purely on physical force.
He could completely deflect at least half their power.
Then he should be able to block the remaining half with his own strength.
It could be said that he and Bang were highly effective counters to Darkshine's fighting style.
