My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—



Chants from the audience resonated all throughout the coliseum while they urged Knighthawk to accept the challenge.

It was the greatest humiliation of all since he too didn't have any superpowers.

"Fight him. Fight him. Fight him."

Even the superheroes who were casually watching in the background, as well as the teachers who were present, egged him on to accept the challenge.

Knighthawk could hear the chants getting increasingly louder the more he stalled for time. He raised his hand and mouthed at the audience to keep quiet, but they just screamed louder.

Even Hiroshi and Midori who were in the middle of the match stopped what they were doing just to watch the confrontation unfold.

In hindsight, Satoshi had every right to challenge Knighthawk. After all, he went as far as to ban him from using superpowers. 

And if Knighthawk were to reject the challenge, then everyone would look down on him. It was certainly a disadvantageous situation for him. 

Heaving a sigh amidst the chants, he finally conceded. "All right, I'll do it." He finally said. 

The crowd went even wilder after that. It was a fight between a USA teacher and a student. Now that was something to look forward to after the student matches were over. 

Since the declaration was done, and Knighthawk accepted the match, Satoshi felt like he already won against his fate. 

Knighthawk chose to bully him so he decided to return the sentiment tenfold, by humiliating him in front of the crowd. 

Then again, before that could happen, he had to survive his match against Kurogami. After that, he also had to survive his match against Jonathan. 

Just thinking about it made Satoshi a tad bit anxious. Jonathan and Kurogaki were powerhouses when it came to their superpowers, after all. 

... 

A minute had passed and everyone returned their focus on the match at hand. Midori managed to break through the earth wall but as soon as he did that, Hiroshi used his fire superpower to launch himself to the other side of the stage. 

After that, he propped another earth wall, but Midori was tired of it. Instead of breaking through the earth wall, he decided to climb it with his bare hands. 

Bam. 

Bam. 

Bam. 

In a flash, Midori was on top of the earth wall and he jumped straight at Hiroshi who was l defenselessly sitting on the other side. Surprised that Midori actually found a way around his plan, he dodged out of the way and destroyed the earth wall in an instant. 

He knew that the earth wall won't work anymore, that's why he dodged out of the way and proceeded to the second phase of his plan. 

As soon as he was at a safe distance, he fired a couple of fireballs at Midori who simply tanked them. 

After that, Hiroshi then proceeded to trip Hiroshi with earth bumps here and there while he ran. His sophisticated control over his superpower helped him with his aim since he never missed. 

Midori was moving very fast, but Hiroshi was keeping up with him just fine. 

Unbeknownst to everyone, Hiroshi had been secretly training his physical body as well as his reaction time. 

He knew just how strong Satoshi had become thanks to his special training, and he wanted to at least improve so he would get closer to Satoshi's level. 

Surprised that he was put off balance every single time, Midori tried to move even more erratically, faster than he did a moment ago. 

But Hiroshi kept up with him just fine. And whenever he got too close, Hiroshi would just fly off. 

Whenever Midori caught up, he thought he'd get a clean hit, but it never happened. 

Quite frankly, Midori had been used to using his superpower that he forgot to focus on physical training. 

He should've thought that physical training would really up his game, After all, his superpower is related to his physical strength. 

"You have to move faster, Midori," Hiroshi taunted with bated breaths. He was also getting exhausted but Midori was more drained than he was. That's why he had the confidence to rile him up. 

Midori had no idea how he'd catch up with Hiroshi anymore. Had he fought with sheer desperation, he would've easily won. 

Hiroshi did a good job keeping his distance while attacking Midori. It was a foolproof plan and it worked, Not only did he tire out Midori, but he also forced him to forfeit the match. 

And Midori didn't have that much of a choice. In truth, Hiroshi was kiting him really well and he was doing a bad job trying to catch up to him. 

Dejected, Midori raised his hand with a somber expression on his face. "I forfeit," Midori announced.

...

Hiroshi didn't want to swap seats with Midori, that's why he let the seating arrangement be.

It was finally time for Satoshi and Kurogami's match. Honestly, everyone was invested in this match since they couldn't think of a way for Satoshi to survive this matchup. 

But then again, Satoshi performed well beyond their expectations in the first two matches so they had no idea who would win. 

And it's not like Kurogami still had his power-up. The rain had abated, and the clouds in the sky were slowly opening. 

"Both sides at the ready... fight!" Kurogami announced without further ado. He didn't even bother giving them time to greet each other on the stage. 

The moment the signal was given, Kurogami immediately charged a couple of shadow balls and started hurling them at Satoshi. It was a normal opening for the match. 

The shadow balls were dodged with ease. Satoshi didn't even break a sweat when he stepped away from the shadow balls. There was no waste in his movements and it looked like he was confident in this match. 

Kurogami didn't waste any time charging more shadow balls and shooting shadow beams at Satoshi. 

In response, Satoshi cleanly dodged them with ease. 

"You're not good at close combat, are you?" Satoshi called out the elephant in the room.
