Yet Hinata Hyuga showed no intention of giving up her attack even as several teachers held her back. She kept exerting herself, and the space around her twisted.
Kurenai Yuhi and the others were stunned as they struggled to restrain her. How was this possible? How could such a young girl break free of their grip?
Watching from the side, Luo Mang saw that even several teachers could barely hold her back. He sighed softly and spoke.
"Hinata, that's enough!"
Hearing him, Hinata Hyuga instantly froze and stopped struggling.
Luo Mang continued.
"You've already proved that you've changed. You defeated Neji Hyuga and even defied your teachers' orders. That's enough."

Those words broke straight through Hinata Hyuga's resolve, and the strength drained from her restrained body.
The murderous expression slowly faded from her face. She turned her head toward Luo Mang, and at his words, the corners of her lips lifted slightly. All that remained was the satisfaction of having earned his approval.
Smiling, she nodded in affirmation. "Mm."
Thud!
After saying that, Hinata Hyuga instantly collapsed to the floor.

The sound of her falling was especially distinct in the silent arena.
Everyone remained quiet, unsure what to say.

It had allowed a failure to instantly crush an elite who had seemed certain of victory just moments earlier, granting her strength that even the teachers around her could barely restrain.
"What kind of monster is she?"
Was this the power of Konoha's foremost clans?
No one paid any attention to Neji Hyuga,
