CHAPTER 75

-

Blasting from his place, he reappeared behind Denji before swinging King Cerberus in nunchucks mode.

WHOOSH!

The speed of the swing caused the air to sing as it missed the target. Denji rolled backwards as he blocked another strike to his head with his odachi.

PING!

Suddenly, as Gohru withdrew the nunchucks, the ends of it connected with each other before reverting back to its staff form, surprising Denji as it connects to his stomach.

POW!

Coughing in pain, he gets flung backwards as Gohru rushes at his flying body. Backflipping to face Gohru, Denji switches the blade to his offhand before clenching his free hand.

Four Gods: Black Turtle.

He swung towards Gohru's head, to which Gohru slides on the ground, dodging the punch before using King Cerberus to launch himself upwards, using the momentum to land a flying kick onto Denji in the chest.

King Cerberus — Staff Form: Rock Back.

HIT!

Denji's body flies backwards before stopping in place, floating before landing back to the ground.

He must have used 3D Maneuver to stop his momentum. Running in an arc, Gohru ducks under a horizontal swing from his odachi before he returned King Cerberus to its nunchuck form.

Grabbing one section of the nunchuck, he swings it upwards as the remaining two sections flung and struck Denji in the chin, the power behind the blow lifted Denji up a few centimeters.

Suddenly, Gohru's head gets kicked by Denji. He retaliated by swinging his leg the moment Gohru used his nunchucks.

Both of them fall to the ground a few feet from each other before getting back up, dusting off their clothes.

DUNNNN!

Suddenly his body gets heavier, causing him to just frown at the annoyance. The debuff was back.

Slamming his foot to the ground as hard as he could, a cloud of dust arises as he felt the debuff fade away.

"Debuff?"

"Yeah. So annoying."

He replied to Denji's question before they get back into their stances, both of them tapping their feet to let the other know their position.

"Since you showed me something cool, I'll show you some things that I've been cooking then."

He could hear the grin on Denji's face before suddenly the air in front of him bends, causing Eye of the Mind to scream out loud.

Using his staff to propel himself backwards, he felt the space that he was in bend slightly before aggressively twisting and crumble. This caused the dust surrounding them to dissipate.

Seeing the pose that Denji was it, it immediately reminded him of someone from an anime.

"... You fucker, you recreated it! You madlad!"

That just caused Denji to grin wider as he raised his right hand upwards, his index and middle finger out.

Particles of red started to form around his whole right arm, converging yet diverging as he could see two separate flows of red particles spiraling differently, and slowly up to his fingers, forming a blackish red orb that reeked of danger.

Gohru gulps in a hint of fear at the technique which vibrates violently in the air, threatening to blast anything that it touches.

Pointing it towards, Gohru's eyes widened before Denji mutters the move's name.

"Gravitational Manipulation: Reversal — Red."

The orb shoots out at the speed of light as Gohru could only react in time by raising both hands crossed, engulfing him in a red beam.

BOOOOOM!!!

Aizawa Shota POV

"You two are supposed to be holding back, dammit..."

Facepalming, Aizawa muttered after muting himself as Present Mic just watches with a sweat drop.

On the stage right now were his two students sitting down on the tiles, talking quietly but enthusiastically so that the mic around the stage wouldn't be heard about that red beam of Uraraka's, he presumes.

He was surprised that Jin was even talking after taking that red beam. He would have been knocked out of bounds if it weren't for the fact that Jin stabbed both legs into the ground.

... And what even was that? He just said that it was gravitational manipulation, he presumed Reversal — Red was the move's name, but how could that even create a red orb from nothing? Was his Quirk's description different? And that blasting power was just outstanding.

"... They're just talking like old friends meeting each other after a decade, in the finals." (Present Mic)

... Sigh... They look more like kids discussing their favorite pro heroes right now. What a headache...

"Hey, the two of you! We're still in the finals!" (Present Mic)

That caused them to look at each other for another second before standing up. Walking away from each other like cowboys about to duel, they stopped before tossing their weapons at Midnight who scrambled to catch them, .

Renewal Taekwondo: Basic Stance.

Four Gods: Basic Stance.

Getting into their stances, they stared at each other, the crowd silent from the tension, before suddenly they disappeared from their spot.

BANG!

The two "crossed blades", with their main forearm hand slamming into one another, causing wind pressure to explode from them. It seemed like they finally started fighting once more.

Sigh...

Such problem childs.

3rd POV

"A-Amazing..."

Midoriya mutters as the whole class watched the gap between the top fighters of their class. 

"And they're so fast too..."

Yaoyorozu said in disbelief as the two traded countless blows in just a few seconds. It was as if watching blurs moving around with their speed.

Watching Denji lean backwards to dodge a roundhouse kick, he placed both hands on the ground before propelling himself towards Gohru with a drop-kick. 

Kirishima cheers them on.

"Woah, look at them go! Go, 1-A!" 

"They're clearly masters of their bodies to be able to perform such maneuvers..."

Tokoyami notes out as Gohru rolls away avoiding the drop-kick and punched hard, causing a blast of wind to push Denji away. 

Rushing towards Denji, he jumped before raising his leg upwards, preparing for an axe kick, to which Denji who recovered in time clenched his main hand's fist, cocking it before launching it in an explosive punch. 

BOOM!

The attacks met, the power of both attacks causing a huge dust cloud to rise up from the ground and sending winds towards the stands. 

WHOOOSHHH!!!

The class had to cover their eyes from the winds, with the whole class shivering from the impact. 

"Woah!" (Jiro)

"This is just absurd!" (Sero)

"T-Thank god he went easy on me..." (Kaminari)

"S-Scary...!" (Koda)

"But what was that thing Jin-san used anyways? It looked cool!"

Ashido said with excitement as Asui commented. 

"It looked like it was a staff, but it can change into some forms as well."

"A 3-section staff and nunchucks, perhaps there are more forms of the staff that we've not yet seen."

Tokoyami remarks as Sato just sighed. 

"That must really cost a fortune, seriously, electricity came out of the staff!"

"I can't comprehend rich people at all..."

Ochako mutters silently as suddenly the cloud of dust blasts off, revealing Gohru and Denji who were still fighting even in the smoke!

"Even in the smoke..."

Shoji just uttered in shock as Jiro shook her head.

"Crazy… These two are crazy..."

"How manly! That's what a man should be! Going into things head on!"

Kirishima yelled before looking back behind him. 

"... But still, aren't you guys a little too quiet, Bakugo? Todoroki?"

They were staring at the fight with intensity.

"... Shut up, shitty hair."

Todoroki stays silent as he continues to watch the fight with apt attention. 

BOOOM!!!

Leaping out of the way, he barely dodges another Reversal — Red, feeling the stadium walls behind shatter from the technique. 

He could see that that takes a toll on Denji, from his heavy panting. Well, he was quite tired too from tanking so many Reversal — Reds until he got the speed and timing of it, so he should finish this up quick.

Clenching his core, he puts both hands to his hips before pouncing at the tired figure of Denji. 

Realizing what he was doing, Denji skids his right foot backwards before raising both hands. This was his final move, he was going to put everything into this attack, and he was not going to lose this!

Rokushiki: Soru.

VHOOSH!

Closing the distance with Soru, just in range for a hit, Gohru stabs his right foot into the ground, with his left foot planted firmly on the ground. 

Denji raises both hands upwards as he felt the surrounding air flow like a river around his body from his legs to his hips, his hips to his shoulders, and his shoulders to his arms.

Gohru raised both hands to stabilizes himself in an angle and to guard any incoming attack. Concentrating on putting all his energy onto the sole of his right foot, he clenches his leg as he exerts as much power as he could.

Feeling as if that wasn't enough, Denji concentrates as red particles seep out from both forearms, flowing together with the now visible air as they combined, showing red streaks circulating around his body.

"Renewal Taekwondo..."

"Four Gods..."

With everything that they got, the finals will be theirs!

"Jin Hwechook!"

"Blue Dragon — Reversal Red!"

BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
