The pack of wolves howled simultaneously, imbued with Izuru Kamukura's command-the pack began to weave and crisscross constantly as they advanced, creating a staggered formation.
The brain of this pack of wolves was now Izuru Kamukura.
And Izuru Kamukura knew very well-this pack of wolves could not pose a threat to Jaden!
Only he himself could threaten this guy!
However, the wolves were not entirely useless.
-They could create an opportunity for him!
Given his and Jaden's strength, they generally wouldn't expose a weakness that could be seized-so if a weakness were to be exploited, he might be directly suppressed!
His recent failed attack, which left Jaden an opening to seize, was the perfect example!
So.
-Now it was his turn to seize an opportunity!
Izuru Kamukura, hidden within the pack, thought this.
He maneuvered the wolves to charge at Jaden from various angles, attempting to distract him, while he himself waited silently for an opening to appear!
He had been fighting Jaden for a while now.
This made one thing clear to Izuru Kamukura.
-That Jaden's senses were stronger than those of a beast, stronger than any human currently known to have the strongest danger perception ability!
He himself possessed the talent for danger perception.
Yet, even the danger perception brought by his own top-tier human talent was completely incomparable to Jaden's senses!
This guy seemed to be fighting him from a god's-eye view.
Therefore, he must distract him... otherwise, it would be impossible for him to seize an opportunity!
Izuru Kamukura thought this.
So, after encircling Jaden with the wolves, his intention to attack from all sides was followed by continuous shifts in formation, attempting to wear down Jaden's concentration.
But in reality...
-Jaden's attention was never focused on these wolves from the start!
Izuru Kamukura guessed his sensory ability was strong, but what Jaden was actually strong at was Observation Haki!
Jaden's Observation Haki could lock onto Izuru Kamukura's position from the very beginning, no matter how he hid, what techniques or means he used, or how much he changed his location-it was useless!
As for why Jaden didn't act immediately...
He wasn't intentionally trying to wear down Izuru Kamukura's focus.
He simply found it-interesting!
Just like when he dealt with Izuru Kamukura's previous tricks, watching Izuru Kamukura dart around, Jaden was like an audience member watching a clown show.
He couldn't help it~
-He was most helpless against this kind of comedy~
As for the pack of wolves...
-They were just new tricks Izuru Kamukura was performing~
He had long given the opponent permission to perform any tricks or juggling acts, and as long as they were exciting enough, he allowed it and didn't mind giving the opponent time to perform.
After all-the winner of this duel would be him.
So.
-It was within the bounds of human sentiment for the loser to want to leave an impression on the audience as much as possible~
However.
Watching Izuru Kamukura stop running around and start approaching him, Jaden slowly curled up the corner of his mouth.
-Since the trick is over, then...
Clenching his fist, Jaden's upper body twisted directly behind him!
As he held this posture, parts of his upper body appeared somewhat transparent-this figure was an afterimage!
The next moment, he swung his fist in a wide arc and appeared right in front of Izuru Kamukura!
In that instant, the pack of wolves rushed toward Jaden with reckless abandon, like startled flies.
But at that moment, the thump-thump sound emanating from Jaden suddenly grew louder, and his eyes, fixed on Izuru Kamukura, narrowed slightly.
"-Get out of my sight!"
In an instant, Jaden's Conqueror's Haki spread out!
The wolves immediately tucked their necks and ran away as if they had seen something utterly terrifying!
Izuru Kamukura, already exposed in front of Jaden and having made few preparations, barely managed to raise his hands and was then smashed by Jaden's punch!
-God-Slaying Strike!
There was no more fitting attack than this move!
Accompanied by Jaden's blow, Izuru Kamukura, essentially unprepared, was sent flying!
Along with him went the ripped-up turf and broken trees he passed during his backward flight-even if he hit a massive boulder, the huge stone would be pulverized!
None of these things could stop his retreat, and the obstacles in front of Jaden disappeared one after another!
At this moment, the frequency of the 'thump-thump-thump' sound coming from Jaden accelerated, and the sound grew louder!
Even the spectators watching the match from the drone perspective heard this sound from the arena!
At this point, someone finally began to ask questions.
"What is that sound? It can't really be the Oni (Ogre) behind Jaden roaring, can it..."
However, others offered various explanations.
Finally, Mamoru Nanami, at Sayaka Katagiri's invitation, stepped onto the arena, took a microphone, and announced something.
"You may not believe it, but that sound... should be Mr. Yuki's heartbeat!"
Huh!?
Hearing Mamoru Nanami say this, everyone else found it even more absurd.
Heartbeat?
How could a heartbeat be this loud!?
And beating so fast!
They were skeptical, but before they could voice their doubts, in the footage captured by the drone, Jaden's skin began to turn red, and as the sound accelerated, visible white steam even started rising from his body!
Ah, this...
They were still unconvinced before seeing this scene.
But after seeing this scene... they were somewhat convinced.
After all, while a human heart probably shouldn't beat like this, and the human body isn't that miraculous, Jaden... this guy is a monster!
They were using this reasoning to convince themselves, and Mamoru Nanami began to explain the details at this time.
But Jaden knew none of this, nor did he care!
Once his heart rate reached a certain level, he directly entered Gear Second!
This was the inspiration he had found from that Super Tyrannosaurus!
During their duel, especially the final fight-with his hearing, he constantly listened to the opponent's engine-like heartbeat, and that was when he got this idea.
Accelerate the heartbeat, accelerate blood circulation-use these to gain greater strength and speed!
And because this move felt similar to the technique of the protagonist in a manga he had read in his previous life, he continued the tradition of being poor at naming things, and after Fierce Tiger and Setsuna Kiryu, he simply adopted the opponent's move name.
Which is-Gear Second!
Before Jaden obtained King's template, this kind of technique was an explosive move, likely to be used as a trump card at the very end.
But with King's heart, this move became similar to an enhanced version of the Niko Style's Indestructible (Koukai) and Release (Kaihou)!
Although it was still an explosive move, the activation time was not short at all!
With this thought, Jaden directly launched a Razor (Shave)-a combination of Sky Walk (Geppou) and Soru (Shave)!
Sky Walk combined with Soru made his figure vanish from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of Izuru Kamukura!
-He had caught up to the flying Izuru Kamukura and struck out with his fist again!
Izuru Kamukura saw Jaden chasing him and immediately swung his hands, attempting to force a stalemate, but this time, Jaden, having activated Gear Second, gave him no such chance!
Jaden's fist slammed forward head-on, and Izuru Kamukura used his forearm to block-but the force of the punch directly pierced his defense, hitting his face along with his forearm!
If Jaden's previous attacks still showed glimpses of martial arts, the power unleashed after activating Gear Second was pure, unadulterated violence!
Izuru Kamukura was forced to retreat again and again!
Even after landing from the state of backward flight, he couldn't stop his retreat!
And his hands, which had initially tried to engage in a struggle with Jaden, gradually turned into a full-force defense!
The spectators watching the match from the drone's perspective fell silent at this moment.
Because this match, which had just been evenly matched, might no longer be a match.
-This was simply an act of abuse!
It was Jaden unilaterally beating Izuru Kamukura!
At this moment, even Mamoru Nanami and Byakuya Togami hardly dared to believe it.
Because...
-That was the Ultimate Human!
Mr. Yuki's opponent was that Izuru Kamukura!
They had already predicted that a lucky victory over the opponent would be the best-case scenario.
But now...
-Now Mr. Yuki was suppressing and beating the opponent!
And beating him until he had no power to fight back!
Could... could this be a dream?
They both thought this, and others felt it even more so.
Even Junko Enoshima widened her eyes, completely unwilling to believe that the scene before her was real!
And the one who felt worse than her-was Izuru Kamukura!
He drew his legs in, bent his waist, and cupped his hands inward, adopting the Sanchin Stance, a posture reputed to be able to receive any attack, to guard against... no, to be honest, it was just to ensure that Jaden's punches didn't hit too hard!
To make the opponent hit a little lighter... that was the limit of what he could do with his full-force defense!
He watched the man attacking relentlessly and laughing maniacally through the gaps between his arms.
At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme annoyance.
And the memories related to 'Hajime Hinata' began to surface one after another.
Finally, at a certain moment, he suddenly remembered.
Hajime Hinata... was himself!
He shouldn't be called Izuru Kamukura, but rather Hajime Hinata!
That guy in the memories who used to fret over trivial things was... himself!
Once he realized this, he finally understood another thing.
He knew why he felt annoyed.
Because...
Even if he found such things boring, even if he verbally claimed that winning or losing had no meaning-in reality, he still didn't want to lose!
The core reason he couldn't understand this feeling before was-Izuru Kamukura had never lost!
Not even once!
Izuru Kamukura was different from others in this regard-other fighters generally go through a process of being weak to becoming strong, and they would first sense the strength of their master when they began learning from them.
-So they have all lost at some point!
And Izuru Kamukura... from the moment he was created until now, Jaden was the first existence to bring him a sense of frustration!
That's why he felt annoyed!
He hadn't lost before, so he didn't know what losing felt like... his rationality told him that winning and losing were boring things.
But even he possessed sensibility.
His rationality told him that everything was boring, but his sensibility, or rather, the side of him that was Hajime Hinata, would still manifest when he felt frustration.
And when all of Hajime Hinata's memories returned, he understood.
Because while Izuru Kamukura had never lost, Hajime Hinata was different!
As the only person without talent among a group of talented people, the frustration he had experienced was intense!
It could even be said that from the time he was sent to the experimental base as a child, he had grown up surrounded by frustration!
Everyone around him was talented!
Or they were researchers.
And he, the only one without talent, was even secretly called a defect.
If Izuru Kamukura was the omnipotent Ultimate Human, then Hajime Hinata was practically the opposite of Izuru Kamukura!
So Izuru Kamukura... no, Hajime Hinata understood at this moment!
Perhaps the knowledge in his mind was less than one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of Izuru Kamukura's... but when it came to failure and frustration, Hajime Hinata knew those things all too well!
Then...
Jaden saw Izuru Kamukura, who had been constantly hunkered down in defense-he started to gradually open up his defense!
Facing his fists, the opponent's hands stopped blocking!
His feet also spread apart, and he began to plant himself firmly, trying to stop his constantly retreating body!
Then...
He endured the beating, and his hands also began to slam toward Jaden with all their might!
-No martial arts technique had taught him to do this.
-No talent would lead him to do such a thing.
But he did it anyway!
Because at this moment, he was not Izuru Kamukura, he was-Hajime Hinata!
-He didn't want to lose either!
What if he had no talent and was inferior to others?
What if everything he was doing now might be useless?
-He couldn't stand it anymore!
Counterattack, he must counterattack!
With this thought, Hajime Hinata's fists continuously slammed toward Jaden, and Jaden's fists continuously landed on him!
The two of them continuously struck each other, allowing time and their sweat and blood to splatter together.
Until the distant sky turned a pale white, and the sun gradually rose.
Only after the sun's light shone on them did Jaden stop the fist that had reached the tip of Hajime Hinata's nose, then looked at the opponent standing still, head lowered, eyes vacant and unresponsive, and slowly withdrew his fist.
-The opponent had passed out.
But even in this state, the opponent still held up his fist, as if it would strike him the next second.
Seeing him like this, even Jaden was no longer the same as before.
He placed a finger on the opponent's forehead and gently tapped it.
Then the opponent directly collapsed onto the ground.
Having done this, Jaden withdrew his fighting spirit, reverted from his Dragon form to human form. As he exhaled hot air, his skin returned to its normal color, and the sound of the Emperor Engine slowly faded away-he turned around directly and casually pursed his lips toward the drone that had been following them.
"He passed out~"
"Killing is not allowed in this match, right?"
"So now you can announce the result."
Saying this, Jaden walked along the path he had single-handedly carved out, heading straight toward the venue.
He acknowledged this Ultimate Human!
Although he was indeed a little lacking at the beginning, almost putting him to sleep-at least at the very end, at that time, he was undoubtedly a qualified challenger!
With this thought, Jaden welcomed the freshness of the morning, yawned slowly, and casually checked in on his way back, stopping that annoying notification sound.
Perhaps the Armament Haki he got from the previous check-in had used up all his luck, so today Jaden's check-in reward was another manga.
[Check-in Reward: Manga - Yu-Gi-Oh!]
Seeing this check-in reward, Jaden paused.
"Yu-Gi-Oh!? I've only heard of Magic: The Gathering, what kind of manga is Yu-Gi-Oh!?"
He blinked, then slowly smiled.
"Just by looking at the cover, I can tell it's probably a manga that doesn't belong to this world and one I didn't have in my previous life... a popular manga from another world, interesting. It looks like I won't be bored on the flight back~"
