Chapter 104

When that dark torrent flashed, the entire arena erupted in a tremendous uproar.

Sitting in the instructor's seat, Masamichi Noi rubbed his eyes.

I rubbed it again.

Are you kidding me? That thing really is [Black Flash]?

He unleashed a [Black Flash] right away. Is Kazuma Hatori in such high fighting form today?

This is not an attack that can be launched casually. [Black Flash] is a black spark that appears in battle with an extremely rare probability. It is a spatial distortion phenomenon that occurs when the error between physical attack and spell power impact is within 0.000001 seconds.

However, this description is not accurate. If it were true that all that was needed was to control physical attacks and spell power impacts to be launched simultaneously, then theoretically, every attack that Gojo Satoru could launch could become a "Black Flash" as long as he possessed the [Six Eyes] which could manipulate spell power at the atomic level.

However, the truth is that after many attempts, Gojo Satoru discovered that there is more than one trick to triggering [Black Flash].

The timing of the hit, the caster's own mindset, the ratio of infused spell power, the opponent's condition, and even the environment—these uncontrollable factors combine to form an extremely subtle point, which may lead the caster to finally use [Black Flash].

The fact that even those with [Six Eyes] might not be able to unleash [Black Flash] has led to a tacit consensus among sorcerers in the world of magic.

A sorcerer who can trigger [Black Flash] is extremely talented in the mastery of spell power.

Even in combat, its potential is absolutely limitless.

Even in yesterday's team battle, plus today's first round of individual battles, no one was able to use [Black Flash]!

At that moment, the deafeningly loud bolt of black lightning almost instantly blinded everyone.

This...this must be a coincidence, right?

If you're in top form, it's not impossible to unleash [Black Flash] as your opening attack...

The audience outside the arena was trying to convince themselves, while the opponents inside were experiencing a complete mental breakdown.

"My technique is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a short, extremely sharp stick came flying at him, accompanied by a whooshing sound and a short, rapid whistling sound.

The Kyoto school student, whom Kazuma Hatori called a buzz-cut NPC, was so frightened that he quickly retreated to try and avoid it.

Terrifying! Just from the noise, you could tell that this black-haired boy wasn't holding back at all!

But the arena is only so big; it's not something he can just hide from whenever he wants.

After the short stick missed him by a hair's breadth, the black-haired boy, with a cold expression, barely paused. With an extremely nimble spin to gather strength, followed by a step, he instantly closed the distance and launched another, even faster and heavier strike—

[Black Flash]!

The NPC with the buzz cut has eyes that are practically popping out of their sockets!

Help! Whose double attack combo is [Black Flash]?!

Didn't your first attack miss? How come you're still in such good shape?

With a flick of his right hand, his magical power bypassed one of the hollow rings, condensing and shooting out several dark blue threads that stuck to the ground at their ends, as if a net had been drawn up to block the attack that Kazuma Hatori was about to unleash.

This is his technique; revealing it would increase the efficiency and power of his spell output—but at this moment, he doesn't even have the chance to reveal it.

Kazuma Hatake launched his attack without hesitation, without any probing or revealing of his techniques. He didn't want to give his opponent any time to launch an attack.

Seeing the several threads suddenly blocking his way between him and the crew-cut NPC, Kazuma Hatori reacted even faster, canceling [Black Flash] to return the curse power consumed, and then locking onto the target in front of him again, using [Black Flash]!

With the system's assistance in combat, he deftly dodged the thin threads with a slight shift of his footwork. The black sparks wrapped around the short stick vanished for a moment, then flared up again—

This time, the Kyoto school student, who had reached the edge of the ring and had nowhere to retreat, could only raise his hand, clench his fist, and gather the thin lines around his forearm in an attempt to block the attack!

—Giggle.

The exceptionally crisp sound of bones breaking rang out. Even though the screams of pain could be forcibly suppressed, cold sweat could not be stopped from pouring out.

The Kyoto school student thought that since he had taken such a heavy blow and his fighting power had been reduced by more than half, the other party should at least say something apologetic!

He went on stage with a casual attitude, but Kazuma Hatori was not like that at all—he wanted to prove himself to the beautiful Satoru!

Once he confirmed that the NPC was still standing and his eyes were open and alert, Kazuma Hatori was relieved.

And so—in the eyes of the Kyoto students, that short stick that clearly seemed harmless was raised again the next moment.

It still flickered with that familiar yet terrifyingly dark light.

Kyoto school student: “…………”

He really wanted to curse out loud on the spot.

We're all sorcerers, so why is it that you can trigger [Black Flash] with every attack?!

Is there no reasoning left to be discussed?!

The 2.5-fold power of [Black Flash] is not something that can be blocked by a normal attack that requires magical power to strengthen the body!

His hand couldn't withstand that blow. The Kyoto school student instinctively dropped to the ground and practically scrambled away from the edge of the ring, his movements incredibly clumsy.

But at this moment, no one could care about anything else.

The first attack was [Black Flash], and the audience could comfort themselves that it was because Kazuma Hatori was in excellent fighting condition.

The second strike is [Black Flash]. The audience can even hypnotize themselves, perhaps Kazuma Hatori is indeed in superb condition. There are records of people who have performed a [Black Flash] double strike.

But the third and fourth blows left everyone stunned.

How can you cancel [Black Flash] and then reapply it? Do you think this is a lighter?!

As they looked further down and discovered that every strike Hatori Kazuma unleashed was indeed a [Black Flash], the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

Just how terrifying is the guy who can unleash [Black Flash] at will?

Moth Masakazu's expression froze for a moment, then he silently turned to look at the second and third-year students—who were equally dumbfounded and standing there in place.

It doesn't seem like someone they could teach...

Could it be enlightenment?

That's impossible. Wu himself has tried it, and whether he can get [Black Flash] is also entirely up to luck.

The Kyoto school student couldn't take it anymore. After being hit with a blow that flashed black light, he immediately raised his left hand and surrendered.

His right hand was broken, and he estimated that at least three ribs were broken as well. He was in excruciating pain all over his body.

Kazuma Hatori, who didn't even have a scratch, stood there indifferently, waiting for the next victim to take the stage.

This arena battle suits him quite well; no matter how strange or unusual the opponent's spells are, he has no choice but to stay on the arena.

As long as the person is still on the stage, he only needs to dodge the spells and chase after the spellcaster to beat him up.

None of these NPCs know his [unscrupulous] technique, which he can't even touch a white hair on.

After a semester of physical training, coupled with the system's assistance in dodging and attacking, Kazuma Hatori is like a terrifying dump truck that rampages around, and a few hits of [Black Flash] are enough to make the opponent cry out in surrender.

When the second victim, also with several broken bones, was carried away barely alive.

The students at the Kyoto school were dumbfounded. Jigu, who was originally ranked third, pointed at himself with a blank look in his eyes.

Is he really going to go up and face a mage who can treat critical hits like normal attacks?

That guy hasn't even used his spell yet!

Meanwhile, the expressions on the faces of the students at the vocational college were also dazed and filled with disbelief.

"No wonder he said he couldn't use the technique..."

"I really want to ask him how he did it. How many times did he do [Black Flash] in a row? Nine times? Ten times?"

"If this is a level four sorcerer, then what are we?"

"I'd say they're... the cheerleading squad responsible for providing support."

They suddenly felt so relieved. All they had to do was sit on the sidelines and watch as the Kyoto School contestants, who had just been boasting, were carried off the field one by one.

Regardless of who came up or whether they had any connection with the three main families, Kazuma Hodori treated them all equally.

First, break the arm that can cast the spell, then knock it out if you can, and if you can't knock it out... there's no one who can't be knocked out, whose body can withstand [Black Flash] without breaking a bone!

None of them know that kind of high-difficulty reversal technique!

Besides, the power of continuous [Black Flash] is enough to send even a cursed spirit to its doom in just a few shots!

Six rounds later, Kazuma Hatori was still standing in the same spot, with only two tears in his clothes.

There might be a minor injury, but if your stamina is still above 80%, then it's equivalent to being unharmed.

His opponents were all rushed to the medical room on the spot.

The number of fractures in a group ranges from three to eight, depending entirely on individual physical condition.

Kazuma Hatake's formidable record, along with his infamous reputation for kindly adjusting your bones, quickly spread throughout both schools.

In addition, there were high-ranking members of the three major families who secretly sent people to record the entire process, and even the match itself was deliberately arranged to try and find out his background.

“…”

Is this something a level four sorcerer could do?!
