CHAPTER 73 : THE TASTE OF VICTORY.
Before long Mikaru and Fukushima's battle caused the imaginary replica of the Kurushima academy within the newly improved world of void to completely collapse on top of them, but to no one's surprise they were still going at it further increasing their output and speed more and more to not be outdone by each other.
Mikaru was continuously throwing out Consecutive Fatal Strikes and Fukushima was utilizing his Perfect Counter to send all of the force and damage right back at him until even the other buildings on the island where the replica academy was began to rumble and crack open before collapsing themselves as well.
When all of the dust cleared two figures emerged, the first was Fukushima who began teasing Mikaru whilst continuing to counter his attacks and the second was Mikaru who continued to throw out more and more powerful attacks in an attempt to overwhelm him.
" You're extremely lucky that we aren't at the actual academy since I'd have to go ahead and pin all this property damage on you. "
They were practically overcoming their limits within mere seconds on repeat yet still it didn't seem to hinder them from having a conversation since Mikaru then casually answered him with a smile on his face.
" This ain't nothing yet since I'm actually just beginning to let loose !!! "
Eventually the academy island began shattering before sinking into the sea which cleared away from them because of all the shockwaves they were generating, as their speed output skyrocketed, the sea water was pushed back more and more until it was sticking to the glass like done ice wall that was circled all around them.
Even the oxygen itself within the snow globe like dome was being blown away as everything within was being completely destroyed, panicked because of what he knew would happen next imaginative Jay tried sending more of his Preterhuman energy into the world of void to reinforce his creation before they could've managed to shatter it.
Yet even so it eventually still did break apart while Tapai was gathering together all of the summoned defeated students who were in the world of void participating in the tournament, Buck and Nurse Nina then rounded all the students to somewhere they could get them to recover so they wouldn't be blamed for anymore casualties.
Thus Tapai proceeded to panic next upon realizing that the shockwaves being contained by imaginative Jay's dome ice wall was now rapidly disbursing throughout it causing it to destabilize, Tapai struggled to maintain the existence of the world of void while Ariana casually told him whilst shaking her head.
" It's hopeless, since that's the technique even Yuuto used to defeat me it'll eventually overwhelm you as well. "
Time space within the world of void began to ripple because of the combined attacks of both Mikaru and Fukushima so Tapai began to lose contact with the world of void because of this and it broke shattering completely as the two remaining students within were violently thrown back into their original world since the place they stood suddenly seized to existence entirely.
But if you were to think even then they'd seize their clashes then you'd definitely be wrong since as they were being thrown back into their own world they still fought as if they were ignorant to what was even happening, the world of void was a infinite 3 dimensional void like construct that existed in a pocket dimension so it was somewhat outside the natural flow of time in the real world.
The obvious use of this was for Tapai to use it to teleport since it being outside the natural time flow meant that he could somewhat go back in time a bit so he could arrive at his desired location as soon as he left regardless of the distance he had used it to travel, nevertheless he didn't try going back to a point where he was still present since he was afraid of the repercussions of existing at two places at one within a single timeline.
Thrusted back in time because of this Mikaru and Fukushima began spontaneously appearing at random points throughout time at the academy although only for fractions of a second due to the fact that the world was correcting this by trying to send them to another point in time although they subsequently created a crater in the place they had appeared.
First of which was near the front of the academy building which caused the past version of Miyabi to ponder how it had suddenly just appeared out of nowhere like that thus the Mikaru of the past grabbed Ken's bag to cover it for her to cross, next of which was at one of the corners of the main academy roof building creating a crater while the Mikaru of the past was engaging K in battle with Miyabi standing by as support.
Again this was followed by another crater which appeared much later when Mikaru and Jason was racing against Christopher Valentines to get to the school gym first as Kai was hosting the tournament matches.
Lastly one had spawn next to the academy gate when demon Mikado had first arrived stepping through to create havock there but as this all commenced Fukushima seemed to had been falling behind since Mikaru had thrown out a hundred punches at this point and a cut appeared on Fukushima's cheek as blood dripped blood proving that some of the Kinetic energy from Mikaru's attacks were somehow getting through.
Although Fukushima's perfect counters were deflecting most of the Kinetic energy being thrown at him by using his preternatural aura to cover the entire radius of his body regardless of if he was able to physically reach there or not to block it, Mikaru's fist had still become faster and faster until it outpaced Fukushima's aura's threat detection speeds.
So it didn't perfectly register all of the Kinetic energy to send it back while forcefully filtering in a bit of oxygen so Fukushima could still breathe, thus this caused Fukushima to frown as a drop of blood could then be seen coming from his nose as well.
By the nature of an individual Fatal Strike sonic boom's were created and it redirected all the air towards the opponent at once which was inadvertently why it became unavoidable since regardless of if you physically dodged it the shockwaves would still damage you so a constantly repeated version rendered all counter attacks useless unless the other person would be willing to suffocate until the onslaught had came to an end.
Because whatever air they had allowed through would threaten their safety with its speed and power that couldn't all be dealt with at once due to the person on the receiving end having a need to breathe while defending themselves from it's explosive power, thus Fukushima finally began to panic himself as he gasped for air.
" I can't believe he found a way to overcome perfect counter by powering through it like a wild gorilla. "
Before Mikaru was finally able to completely overwhelm him with one final punch that brought them right back to the original tournament ring in the present time where they were supposed to had been, Fukushima was unable to believe this outcome since he thought that perhaps if he still had possession of the box of depravity then he'd be able to activate his demon mode further enhance himself to not had lose, not to mention he'd be able to use his demon claw technique.
Still even though Fukushima was blasted away sustaining fatal injuries as the air currents coming from Mikaru's fist disbursed all around the room prompting the Elites to neutralize it by surrounding him along with Fukushima with their Preternatural aura so it wouldn't hurt anyone else around or destroy the academy, nevertheless the shockwaves was still able to shake the entire academy island with a minor earthquake regardless.
Not wanting to just lose there because of what Mikaru was able to achieve Fukushima stood tall raising his right fist even though he was battered and beaten to the point of wanting to pass out he still decided to keep fighting while asking.
" Is that the best that you've got ? Because I for one am surely not impressed. "
Realizing that Fukushima was basically at his wits end Mikaru casually caused Samaru's mark's to completely cover his body so he could create black flesh like limbs that extended impaling and tearing Fukushima apart as Mikaru retorted.
" No but I'm fairly certain I've already won so now I can finally get back to using Samaru's marks, a lone catastrophe touch will do for putting you down. "
It became horrifically one sided after that point so it was a miracle that Fukushima hadn't yet died because of everything that had happened to him up until this point but nonetheless Mikaru tore him apart until the tournament ring was redecorated with his blood, thus Mikaru had finally been able to put Fukushima down however he himself had already taken on way more damage than he even realize.
Since manipulating his Preterhuman aura was extremely taxing on his body so before he noticed it his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth was dripping blood although Samaru's marks was preventing him from completely collapsing from all the internal damages he had sustained.
In reality the battle really could've gone either way if he had burnt out his Preterhuman aura during his clash with Fukushima so he was rather fortunate that his body was able to at least hold out until he had delivered his final punch against him.
Nevertheless Fukushima somehow raised back to his feet with what seemed like bloodshot eyes as all of the physical injuries he had suffered slowly faded away confusing Mikaru completely until Fukushima revealed.
" Preternatural energy is pure energy having a mix between spiritual energy that's 4th dimensional and naturally existing energy within the body so while it can enhance the mind, body and soul it usually takes a bit of time to regenerate it, although it does allow preterhumen to heal much faster than normal individuals. So by focusing and multiplying that energy enhancement in a single area you can manage to force the healing process to speed up, but still it'll take tons of energy to pull off, that's the true power of mastered preternatural energy. But it was easier said than done since I could've never done it up until now, I was lucky the one person who could do it told me about it as a last ditch effort before the match if all else failed. Yes I finally grasped it on the verge of death, the true essence of preternatural energy, the real reason that your going to lose is because you didn't finish killing me when you had the chance !!! "
Observing Fukushima's current condition made it seem to Mikaru that he was indeed telling the truth since most of his severe wounds was completely gone, plus this wasn't the first time he had saw his opponent seemingly heal themselves after a battle since Rei Ogami did the same which prevented him from having to take a trip to the nurse's office after his battle with Mikaru.
Not to mention that Mikaru had already learned from his Sensei Yuuto that one who unlocks the ability to manipulate their body's energy is able to do whatever they want with their energy within the confines of their body's current capabilities, which meant complete control even on things that were supposed to function on a subconscious level.
" Oh are you right, is that right, you might be right !? But why didn't you just stay down then, do you want another do over with your perfect counter and my kinetic strikes ? "
Coming to an agreement with everything Fukushima had said Mikaru answered before trying to do the same himself to aid Samaru's marks to completely recover his Preterhuman adrenaline organ faster so he could regain access to his preternatural energy aura, slightly differently though since he was already out of Preterhuman energy he started pulling in the energy from all around him.
However since his very own injuries were already healed when he started concentrating the energy in his body he was also able to further enhance all of his body's natural capabilities effectively boosting his healing while causing his muscles to bulge becoming even larger stretching his ripped and bloody uniform jacket and pants before Fukushima vocalized a response to his earlier question.
" No, I'm pretty sure now that I've already tried it that you'd simply destroy me in hand to hand combat again regardless of what I tried ? ...Su Ogami was right. "
Fukushima's torn up uniform jacket then fell off of one of his shoulder and he began to glow activating his very own abilities revealing to the entire academy that he wasn't a inert like Jason, all inorder to save Mikaru he did this although he didn't make his ability completely obvious to all those who were watching their battle.
He first cut all of Mikaru's stats in half by copying Su Ogami's abilities since this would be the least obvious way of doing things, nevertheless Mikaru still charged straight at him while somehow inexplicably appearing as three like he had created an afterimage but that wasn't the case.
***
Notwithstanding all that had happened Mikado was watching the tournament matches from the nurse's office and he realized that as long as he lived Mikaru would continue to go down an unheroic path.
Shifting his gaze away from the television live streaming the tournament matches Mikado noticed someone at the door to the nurse's office room watching him with a devious smirk on his face and immediately Mikado recognized who the person was and asked them.
" It's been awhile sir, have you been paying attention to all of my achievement, do you think I ever really ended up putting the cloning ability you gave me to good use ? "
Surprised by the fact that it took him a much shorter time period than Yuuto to realize who he was council man Fujisaki came forward telling him with a kind smile.
" You did your very best, I'm proud of you kid especially since it took your blonde friend so many years just to figure out how to even activate the ability I gave to him back then. "
Happy to receive such an answer Mikado smiled back at him before lowering his head and asking him for a small favor.
" I'd like for you to transfer the cloning ability you gave me in the past to my son... If I continue to live in this world he'll persist on hurting more people for my sake but if I'm no longer around and my son is still alive I believe that everything will be alright. "
Therefore what Fukushima was currently seeing were all biology clones accidentally created by Mikaru because he was trying to utilize the energy flowing throughout his whole entire body in new ways to see what else he could've accomplished.
Copying Ken's plasma capability Fukushima then disappeared before dashing away from his previous location and utilizing Christopher Valentines magnetism he pulled all of the metallic training equipments towards the Mikaru's in hopes of figuring out which one of them was the real one however they were all hit by the metal and steal equipments.
Startled by this astonishing revelation Fukushima quickly activated Anya Russia's shadow manipulation skill to help the metal, steal and iron equipments hold all of the Mikaru's in place so he could again use Ken's plasma ability to create flames so he could replicate his demon claw technique which he had previously lost with the box of depravity.
Impending doom approaching all the Mikaru's gritted their teeth trying to come up with a solution to all these craziness since he wasn't completely informed with what Fukushima's ability was or how it worked he wasn't exactly sure on how to react and solve this current predicament, nevertheless the thoughts rushed through his mind as he tried to come up with some sort of solution to achieve a sure victory against Fukushima.
It's always the same... At times when I lost everything in despair... And at times when I did things that can't be undone... And at times when I was about to lose my life... I always overcame the moments of absolute disaster. I kept moving forward, there isn't a single wall that can't be surpassed, there is always an opening, I'll find it if I give it my all. Hope is in sight so to attack is the greatest defense, disasters are the biggest opportunities !!!
Yet no matter how many Mikaru's tried to come to a solution to achieve their victory, they were all unable to come find a guaranteed one fast enough to prevent themselves from being hit by the attack especially since they still had to find a way to move before anything else could've been done to win.
When the demon claw attack landed a electric discharge was created which shocked all of the Mikarus stunning them until Fukushima could summon Ken's signature lightning bolt from above which subsequently knocked all of the Mikarus out, thus the Elites immediately announced Fukushima as the champion of the 1 star tournament as he then reappeared heavily breathing.
