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



The rules specified that as long as  an opponent wasn't knocked out or didn't surrender, he could swap out with his teammate and still fight in the next match. It was like  a tamed beast battle, and Dark Matter decided to use that rule in order to gain an advantage against Jonathan and Kurogami.

At first, he thought that Kuorgami was going to win since he managed to grab Light Wing by the neck. However, to his surprise, Kurogami really did drop out of the match as soon as the two minutes were up. He could've swapped with Jonathan just like Dark Matter did... but he didn't.

He was a man of his word. He said he was going to surrender the match when he couldn't defeat Light Wing in two minutes. And that's what he did.

"You're going to fight me. I'm swapping with Light Wing. You can fight her after you defeat me."

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to win anyway."

Upon saying that, Jonathan also assumed a fighting stance as he and Dark Matter stared at each other.

Things were heating up, and the entire Class 3-1 couldn't help but feel the heavy atmosphere that befell the arena. They were about to witness a legendary match, and it excited them a little bit.

Knighthawk didn't want to postpone the match any longer. Without further ado, he walked forward and raised his hand, giving the signal that the match had started. "Start!" He screamed.

Dark Matter didn't waste any time teleporting to Jonathan's shadow. As he was in the middle of that, he threw a punch, aiming at Jonathan's lower back. If the punch were to hit, he'd have knocked the breath out of Jonathan's lungs.

It was the perfect plan, and Dark Matter had pulled it off plenty of times in the field. There was no way he was going to fail now.

The teleportation was successful, and he unleashed the punch at Jonathan's back. To his surprise, Jonathan didn't move at all. It's as if he was expecting Dark Matter to sneak behind him, and he was ready for it.

Jonathan's weird response made Dark Matter rethink his attack. However, he still went through with it, thinking that Jonathan was just bluffing.

Well, Jonathan wasn't bluffing at all. Before Dark Matter could touch Jonathan, Jonathan put up a portal on his back, leading straight to Dark Matter's jaw.

Pwe~

Dark Matter looked like a fool as he punched himself. The punch connected to his jaw, and he almost knocked himself out.

"You!" Dark Matter forced a smile on his face. He was completely fooled by Jonathan's trickery. And he could only blame himself for punching himself.

Without further ado, Dark Matter stepped back and prepared a dark orb in his hand. As long as he kept his distance, he could shoot at Jonathan without worrying about getting hit himself. For the new plan, he was going to keep his distance and use his superpower to his advantage.

Once again, Jonathan saw through his actions, and he activated his second superpower.

Superpower Nullification.

Dark Matter's lips curved into a smile as the dark orb in his hand grew in size. But before he could propel it at Jonathan, it vanished into thin air. Utter shock was written on Dark Matter's face as he tried to activate his superpowers but to no avail.

Somehow, his superpower just didn't want to cooperate, and he couldn't use it anymore. "What's going on?" Dark Matter asked himself. For the third time, he tried to manifest a dark orb on his hand, he then tried to create a dark beam. But nothing happened.

This time, it was Jonathan who smiled, and he approached Dark Matter while clutching his fists.

"What are you doing, Bishop?" Light Wing asked from the sidelines since she could tell that something was wrong.

As soon as Jonathan was within arm's reach, he threw a hook, and Dark Matter barely dodged it. Jonathan brought his body forward, lowering his point of balance and throwing another hook. This time, the hook landed squarely on Dark Matter's obliques.

Dark Matter grunted in pain.

As someone who had a lackluster superpower, Dark Matter trained his body in order to keep up with criminals who are better than him. However, he didn't focus that much in physical training, that's why in terms of pure raw power and strength, Jonathan had the upper hand.

Since his superpower was not working, and Jonathan was challenging him to a physical match, he decided to go head-to-head with him. Pretty soon, Dark Matter raised his fists up in a guard position as he inched closer toward Jonathan.

Jonathan didn't challenge him to a boxing match though. Before Dark Matter could react, Jonathan lunged forward and grabbed him by the head, he then curled his body forward and planted a knee right on Dark Matter's face.

Of course, his knee easily slipped through Dark Matter's guard, breaking his nose. Jonathan caught Dark Matter by surprise, causing him to stagger as he held his broken nose.

Even with his pitiable state, Jonathan didn't give Dark Matter a single break. He planted his feet on the ground and turned around. The momentum enabled him to execute a perfect roundhouse kick, and he hit Dark Matter on the temple.

The attack was perfect, and Dark Matter was knocked out in an instant. He fell on the ground as his eyes rolled back and only the whites could be seen.

To add salt to the wound, Jonathan bowed down at Dark Matter's unconscious body before returning to the center of the arena. He eyed Light Wing who was preparing to go inside the arena.

"Winner, Jonathan!" Knighthawk called out as the personnel of the Concrete Arena rushed in to get Jonathan out of the way.

They sent him straight to the Nurse who was idling around in the clinic. There, she was watching the live stream of the match, and she was prepared for the confinement of Dark Matter.

Hic~

Hic~

Due to nervousness, Light Wing developed a fit of hiccups as she slowly stepped into the arena, shaking in her boots. She had no idea what happened to Dark Matter. Also, she didn't want to find out what happened. She was going to fight as much as she could, but she knew she couldn't win against the person in front of her.

She may be a fourth-year, but Jonathan was scary enough for her despite being a first-year.

"Match start!" Knighthawk announced before Light Wing could mentally prepare herself for the match.

She looked at Jonathan with sheer terror written on her face. Without thinking twice, she held her hand up, and she tried to use his superpower on Jonathan.

To her despair, her superpower didn't work. Now, she confirmed that the deactivation of their superpower was all because of Jonathan. Her pupils dilated as she watched Jonathan approach. She had no idea what Jonathan was about to do, so she froze in place.

For the first time ever since she became a professional superhero, she felt despair. Fear had overcome her, and she couldn't budge an inch from where she stood. In her mind, she screamed at herself to move, but her body didn't listen.

Jonathan grabbed her by the hand. "Come on." He calmly said as if that was the most normal thing to do at his opponent.

Since Light Wing was afraid of Jonathan, she meekly followed her. However, when he held her hand, she felt as if her heartstrings were tugged. Her face reddened as her feet finally moved. Jonathan continued to walk away as he clutched Light Wing's hand.

"Eh?!" Light Wing let out a single exclamation, surprised at Jonathan's assertiveness. This was the first time someone grabbed her by the hand like that, and it felt nice.

Light Wing didn't feel any pressure emanating from Jonathan, so she figured that Jonathan wasn't going to attack her. In turn, she hung her head down as she tried to hide her embarrassment. She realized that holding hands with someone is embarrassing.

"I don't have a phone. But I'm going to get one. Until then, hold onto your contact info for me." Jonathan coolly said as he gently led Light Wing to the sidelines.

Honestly, Jonathan was attracted to Light Wing the moment he first noticed her. That's why he made a move on her when they finally met in the arena.

And honestly, Light Wing found Jonathan's assertiveness attractive. She nodded her head after she was asked to give him her contact number in the future.

Once they reached the edge of the arena, Jonathan gently nudged at her, pushing her out of bounds. "I'll contact you." He called out, flashing a smile at Light Wing.

Once again, Light Wing hung her head down. It didn't even occur to her that everyone was watching their entire exchange.

In the background, Satoshi and all the guys were furiously taking notes. Jonathan was as smooth as butter when he talked to Light Wing. They made a mental note to ask Jonathan for relationship advice as soon as their classes were done for the day.

With that, the fourth-years experienced their fourth loss.

And Light Wing wasn't even complaining.
