Chapter 10 - Faster Than Fire

Arena — Tournament Match: Kaito vs. Hakiro (Final Round)

Twenty glowing white orbs hovered in the sky—charged and aimed directly at Kaito.

Hakiro (commanding):

"Fire."

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

They launched like a rainstorm of bullets.

Kaito moved.

Dodging like a blur—twisting, flipping, ducking, vanishing and reappearing.

But the orbs kept coming.

💥 One clipped his arm—

💥 Another sliced his shoulder—

💥 One slammed into his ribs.

Kaito gritted his teeth, blood trailing down his face.

But he didn't stop moving.

He went faster.

Faster than the orbs could track.

Faster than the audience could follow.

Faster than sound.

The blasts whizzed by him—but they were too slow now.

Hakiro (narrowing his eyes):

"…He's breaking their timing…"

The last orb fired—

Kaito vanished—

BOOM! It missed by a mile.

Then—nothing.

Silence.

The sky full of white glowing orbs…

Suddenly dimmed.

Each orb flickered—then fizzled out.

Hakiro (tense):

"…They need to recharge."

Kaito (breathing heavy, walking forward):

"Now that that's over…"

He blurred again—vanished—

BOOM!!

A massive body blow landed straight into Hakiro's stomach.

CRACK!!

Followed by a spinning kick to the jaw that launched him back.

Hakiro hit the ground, rolled—then forced himself up, panting.

Hakiro (grinning through blood):

"Not bad…"

He charged in—

A powerful punch flying toward Kaito's chest.

But Kaito was already gone.

DODGE — COUNTER — BOOM!!

A clean shot to Hakiro's jaw that sent him flying again.

Hakiro (furious):

"You want power?! I'll show you!"

His hands raised—

The orbs reformed—

Fifty strong, glowing white—

All of them charged with maximum energy.

He screamed—

HAKIRO:

"DIE!!"

FWOOOOOSH—!!!

A massive DU BLAST erupted from the full power of his orbs—

It tore through the stadium like a wave of destruction.

But—

Kaito stood firm.

He raised both hands—

Charged his own energy—

Kaito (low):

"You're not the only one who's been saving power."

A glowing sphere formed—twice the size of Hakiro's blast—

He hurled it forward.

💥DU BLAST!!💥

The two attacks clashed midair—

BOOM!!!

The arena trembled.

The wind screamed.

The sky turned white.

Then—

Hakiro's blast shattered.

His orbs disintegrated.

Kaito's DU Blast tore through it all—

It slammed into Hakiro's chest and launched him back—

Right into the wall.

CRASH!!!

Before the dust could settle—

Kaito was already there.

Super speed activated—

POW! A punch to the face.

CRACK! Four lightning-fast body blows.

BOOM! A rising uppercut.

WHAM!! A brutal side kick that launched Hakiro again.

Then—

ZOOOM!

Kaito flashed behind him—

BOOOOM!!

A devastating blow to Hakiro's left ribs—SNAP! They broke on impact.

FWOOOSH!

Another uppercut.

And finally—

360° Spinning Kick—

SMASH!!

Hakiro slammed into the wall, unmoving.

Silence.

Then—

Announcer (shouting):

"HAKIRO IS DOWN!!

KAITO WINS THE MATCH!!"

The crowd exploded.

Renji stood up, grinning wide.

Enro clenched his fist. "Told you he'd win."

Kaito stood in the center of the crater, chest rising slowly, blood dripping from his cheek—but smiling.

Kaito (quietly):

"Still think I need luck?"

The crowd roared.

From the stands, Enro rose to his feet—eyes locked on the arena.

His next opponent was already stepping forward, shadow falling across the battlefield.

Enro (cold):

"My turn."
