1.85: All at the center!

~TECH PROWESS: ELECTRON FIELD!!

BZZT!!

Alphas kept his ground in the east wing as many students fell to his abilities. "This seems like a good day to test my inventions."

"You got that right!"

Rin and Ado arrived with Inata and Jugo from the green guardians.

"Look at all these students… There have to be at least 42 of us," Ado said.

"Rin~, why do we have to go for 100 thousand while everyone is at the field?" Inata asked.

"Think logically. Do you seriously think ANYONE will take the 100 million flags? Better off stacking the small ones rather than coming up empty-handed."

"Oh…yeah…good…point…" Jugo sluggishly agreed.

"Who do you guys think you are? I am just baffled by your confidence. Can you beat me? With my science?!"

"...Yes."

Alphas stopped smiling as Rin gave his answer. "I see." He called out one of his latest inventions, an android.

"Whoa, it's a robot!" Ado said.

"FOOL! THIS is not a RO~BOT! It is an ANDROID, AN~DROID!!" Alphas corrected him.

~THUNDER PROWESS: THUNDERCLAP!!

BZZT!!

Ado palmed the android on the face and laid out as much friction as possible.

"NOO! MY INNOVATION!!"

"INATA NOW!!"

"YES RIN!"

~TIME PROWESS: SHOWTIME!!

VOM!

Space around her slowed down to the point of seconds being minutes. "AND NOW,"

~TIME PROWESS: FLASH FORWARD!!

VIP!

She dashed through Ado's bolt particle and reached for Alphas's flag. Suddenly, she noticed the android's eye coordination was as fast as hers. "Wait, how can you keep up?"

BAM!

With tremendous speed, it blew them both away.

~LIGHT PROWESS: FLASH STEP!!

PEW! PEW!

Rin caught them and took his stance. ("How did it catch up to even Inata's speed-")

SLAM!!

He dodged its kick by a heartbeat and counter by scratching it.

"Do you see it now, Rin? Tech Prowess only moves forward in time and up in abilities!"

Rin smiled and built up his spiritas. "Guess I have something in common with your creations!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, all the commotion was centered on the school field. Nearly three-quarters of the school was present there, and half of them were already unconscious.

~RAGE RELEASE: ORACLE SLASH!!

SWING!

Azahii clashed his sword with Uraka's, pushing him back to Josuke and his team.

"That blade surely packs a punch." He said.

"It was your mistake thinking you would take my flag," Azahii said as they all looked at the human students resting on the ground. Except for the ronins, only a few of them were standing. Lionelle and Charlotte also summoned their Armaments to face him.

"RELEASE THE FLAG IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE!" She yelled.

"MY GOD! YOU'RE SO LOUD!" They all responded.

Lionelle could only watch them in awe as they kept on fighting.

~RAGE RELEASE: VERTICAL SLASH!!

SWING!!

"Already attacking?!"

~FIRE PROWESS: STRIKE ONE!!

BOOM!!

An explosion cloaked them as they had to do their best to pinpoint his location.

"I DON'T THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA, URAKA OF THE FLAMES!" Charlotte said.

"Uraka of the what? ARE YOU INSULTING ME YOU DUMMY?!"

"AAHH!!"

PUNCH! KICK! PUNCH!

Uraka heard the sound of his teammate's cries. "Dammit!"

~FIRE PROWESS: PITCH SWING!!

BWOOSH!!

He swung his sword and blew all the smoke away, only to see that Azahii had already knocked out Josuke and Floria.

"BASTARD!"

"YUKI, ATTACK AT WILL!" Charlotte ordered.

"Yes!"

~ICE PROWESS: WOLF FANG!!

SLASH!

Yuki fired ice fangs at Azahii, but he quickly cut through all of them. "How disappointing…"

"HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU THE POWER OF JUSTICE!"

~MAJESTIC PROWESS: EXCALIBUR!!

BWOON!

Her sword doubled its size as she held it in a vertical hold.

~JUSTICE SLAM!!

Azahii just watched the impact slowly make its way towards him.

"That's a big boy you got there," Azahii said and closed his eyes.

…: …

SLASH!!

Out of nowhere, Charlotte's prowess diverted itself back to her without a chance to counter it.

"AH!!"

THUD!

She was out, and all that was left…Uraka and Lionelle.

(What…kind of prowess was that? Was he speaking a different language?") Uraka asked himself, still doubting whether to attack.

"Still wanna piece of me?" Azahii asked, with Charlotte's sword in his grasp.

("I see. So not only can he repel attacks, but he can also steal your armament. Meaning…that sword is…")

BOOM!!

Tedd came flying to the ground as Martin followed him down.

~FLAME PROWESS: BURNING SHOT!!

BWOOSH!!

Kaen saved him before he got a clean hit on Tedd.

~ICE PROWESS: BLOWING FROST!!

CRRSHH!!

Eon made way for them to regroup.

"This was a bad approach. We're cornered!" He said.

"Where is Toru and Suna?" Tedd asked.

Eon just looked away, and they saw them both lying on the ground. "This guy took out an entire guild?"

"This guy has a name. It's Martin, remember it." He replied.

"I'll remember it."

All the injured students cheered as they witnessed the match-up they'd been waiting for. Haruro and Skylark stood aside Gale Wind, and they all had their prowesses ready.

"Gale! What about Konami and Yuri? Where are they?" Eon asked.

"They had their eye on the other hundred million; I let them be."

"Wait…so they are,"

"Yes, they went for what, to me, is the hardest flag to obtain."

BOOM!!

"GOTCHA!"

Yuri grabbed Konami after the blast she got seized in. "Thanks, big sis…"

Smoke obscured the field, but only one thing stood before them: the flag—the only person who went all-out the entire time, Gaiyato.

"You've grown strong Konami. Your prowess resembles the one of my mother." He said.

"Oh really? I had no idea! That's pretty cool, Uncle Gaiyato-"

"WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO CASUAL TO HIM?! HE'S OUR ENEMY FOR THE DAY!" Yuri reminded her.

"Ah…I forgot."

Gaiyato smiled as Izanami joined him on the field. "Sis! I'm glad to see you still have your flag. How are you holding up?"

"I'm…not used to all of this anymore."

She scratched her hair as she felt a panic attack.

"Whoa, calm down. How many students did you beat? 12? 18?"
