Grandfinals Round (Part III)

[-In the Arena-]

11:30 am

"Everyone, we are getting closer to the final showdown. We have two final teams in the arena. Two teams that will go against each other for the final showdown. Who will be the new champion for this year's school tournament {Junior-Ranked} Division? Disciples of the youngest amongst the masters … no other than, Master Narcisso! -OR- will it be from the disciples of the most respected master … no other than, Master Wushu?" The commentator shared his thoughts with the audience.

His colleague nodded along with his words.

Cheers from the audience went louder.

On the screen the matches were flashed for everyone to see.

* Hawks versus Likeru *

* Maya versus Barette *

* Billy versus Ford *

* Rankuza versus Hagurn *

Immediately the announcer called upon the participants for the first match of the second batch of showdown.

"For our first match, Hawks versus Likeru!"

Hawks looked at Shams making an inviting look towards the youngest amongst the disciples of Master Wushu. So that he would know what to expect from Hawks.

From the previous match, both Hawks and Shams defeated their enemy as fast as they could.

Coincidentally, they share the same finishing record.

Amongst the disciples of Master Wushu, Hawks was the only one who had successfully tamed a beast.

Not just your ordinary beast to tame but a rare wolf. Both Hawks and his wolf trained with the special supervision and guidance of Master Wushu himself.

Each participants were given the opportunity to be taught more rigorously and have their own strategic combination of attacks.

Master Wushu taught his disciples their best way to win against an opponent and revealed their own weaknesses as well.

In Hawks' case, he can be considered as one of the most versatile disciples of Master Wushu.

He could truly be good in long-range to close-range combat. Even his defensive and offensive skills were considered to be one of the top notch in the school of Master Wushu.

As he made his way to the battle arena, different cheers could be heard but no set of fans cheering for his name from the bleachers like Shams has.

Deep inside, it irked him for a while but he focused on his goal to defeat his opponent faster than the previous record of Shams.

When the referee/announcer for the grandfinals round gave a signal to for the first match of the second batch to start.

Different ways was circulating around in Hawks' mind.

His tamed beast was just behind him … waiting for Hawks' orders.

"Thor … let's show them how quick we can be. Keep hitting our opponent with {-Lightning Rod-}"

He bragged to his tamed wolf about the plan he was about to execute.

Though, his tamed wolf felt worried for its own master.

Hearing the whimper of concern from his tamed beast, Hawks reassured his own tamed beast not to worry for him.

"Do not worry for me, Thor! We can beat the official time record from the previous match! So let's gear up …" Hawks motivated his concerned tamed wolf.

Then when his tamed beast advanced forward, Hawks summoned his wings made of ki energy.

While Thor, his tamed beast, was collecting enough natural energy to use for a continuous attack.

Thor, the tamed beast of Hawks, understood the plans of Hawks.

Soaring high from above, Hawks was doing a circular movement like a vulture way above his opponent.

"Now, Thor!" Hawks instructed his tamed beast.

He loudly thought to himself.

'Let's see how you will handle my attack from above … while trying to avoid Thor's attack.'

Everyone was impressed at the scene they are witnessing.

Because the opponent of Hawks could evade and launch attacks at the same time.

"Are we seeing this right? The disciple of Master Narcisso, Likeru … is currently evading two separate attacks coming from two different directions. Wow! And he is just smiling at Hawks. This is like provoking the beast. Oh, two beasts rather!" The commentator shared his assessment of the situation and corrected his last remark.

His colleague added, "Be careful when you play with the beast. Between the two, who is the predator and who is the prey?"

Unexpectedly, Hawks was not able to finish it quickly as he planned.

Likeru was evasive and has strong sensory skills. Though, his attacks were not landing either.

Patience of Hawks was wearing thin. As he attacked above and his tamed beast from below, he has decided to use one of his powerful techniques.

He was saving it for the future match but his current situation calls for the execution of his new technique.

Thor release a paralyzing static of electricity all over the floor.

Immediately, the announcer/referee jumped off the stage before getting hit by it.

Unfortunately for Likeru, he got caught by the static which stunned his movement rendering him immobilized.

Finally, Hawks have the opening he needed and he dove from above directly aiming at Likeru.

When Likeru realized he would die if he doesn't do anything, he could sense the resolve of Hawks not stopping at all.

Unless …

"I SURRENDER!" bitterly blurted out by Likeru.

The announcer shoot a net made up of his ki energy towards Hawks to stop him from his attack.

Once a participant declares surrender, the referee must do all its might to stop the match and declare the winner.

The powerful net with electrifying surge of energy from the massive ki output of the referee, made Hawks halt from its attack and fall to the ground instead.

-Thud-

"Ow!" Hawks whined as he fell to the ground.

Thor growled at the referee and went to the side of Hawks.

"The winner of the first match … Hawks!" the announcer, at the same time referee of the match declared to everyone.

A deafening cheers could be heard from another win from the team of the disciples of Master Wushu.

Meanwhile …

On the waiting area for the {Junior-Ranked} Division on the side of the Narcisso Team, their leader could not contain her disappointment.

"What a shame! Surrendering? No wonder, Likeru is the weakest amongst us." Barette expressed her disappointment and disgust at the defeat of her fellow disciple.
