The wind blew hard as Dan and Tarand stood in front of each other. It starts raining while the tournament proceeds. No one except the ones in the arena is getting wet. Izumi was taken to the infirmary along with Horrell for treatment. No one is leaving their seats because the final battle between the two teachers to decide who is going to stay at the school is about to begin.

*Swish*

“GO DAN!”

Everyone cheers on for Dan from the start.

*Smack*

Both Dan and Tarand’s fists meet and create a shockwave which even makes the barrier shake.

“I like this! It seems you are more powered up than before.”

Tarand says.

*Smack*

Dan punches right through Tarand’s defense and right into his face.

“HAHAHAHA! THAT’S WHAT I LIKE! YOU ARE FUCKING AMAZING WHEN YOU ARE PISSED!”

Tarand shows his maniac side.

*Smack*

Dan kicks Tarand in his guts sending him crashing into the arena.

*Crash*

*Grab*

“I guess I will get serious too!”

Tarand maniacally smiles at Dan.

“WHAT THE-“

*Swing*

He grabs Dan’s leg and tries to throw him out of the arena but Dan controls his momentum.

Dan quickly looks to his right and realizes that Tarand is right over there.

“WEAPON CREATION: CHAIN GLOVES!”

Chains wrap around Dan’s fists from his magic.

*Smack*

Tarand tries to hit Dan but Dan blocks.

*Splash*

Instead, Tarand’s fist bleed from Dan’s chain gloves.

“Woh! That’s new.”

Tarand smiles maniacally.

“Weapon Creation: Double big pads!”

Two huge exam pads appear in both of Tarand’s hands which he tries to hit Dan with from both sides.

*Smack*

Dan blocks the pads but the chain gloves break and his hands begin to bleed.

“FROM THE TREE OF ODIN: LIGHTNING STRIKE!”

*Spark*

Tarand falls back.

“Good job trying to take me down but you have to do better and with both your fists out of the commission. You don’t really have anything to fight with.”

Tarand smiles maniacally.

*Smack*

Dan smashes his right foot right in front of Tarand with a bent knee.

“You seriously think I cannot fight just because I have no fists.”

*Swish*

“That’s right!”

Tarand appears right in front of Dan.

Dan doesn’t look surprised.

*Smack*

Dan uses his leg to kick Tarand under his ears which works well. Tarand falls back. He is trying to gather what’s happening.

XXXXX

“That’s...”

Carly looks surprised.

“Yeah, the boy apparently is using your fighting style.”

Jake says as he arrives with the others near Carly.

“No, I am not surprised by that. That’s not Dan at all...If that was Dan, the match would have been over with that shot to the ear.”

Carly says.

“Eh?”

Jake looks confused.

“Dan’s kicks and punches have more power than that.”

Carly says.

“Eh?!”

Sam and Pears look confused.

XXXXX

A smirk appears on Dan’s face.

“That’s a unique-“

“WAIT! THAT’S MY FIGHTING STYLE!!!”

John screams as he looks at Dan who suddenly appears near Tarand and palms him in the chest.

Tarand skits back.

Dan runs towards Tarand.

“WAIT! THAT RUNNING STYLE IS OF PRINCESS KAILEEN!”

Valarie says.

Tarand looks surprised by Dan’s odd fighting style.

*Tackle*

Dan uses a spear on Tarand but Tarand catches Dan.

“What’s with you?! It’s like-“

Dan smirks.

Dan picks up Tarand.

“HEY, THAT’S THE MOVE I USED TO USE WHEN I USED TO GET IN A FIGHT WITH A PERSON BIGGER THAN ME!”

Jack screams.

*Smack*

Dan brings down Jack over his shoulder breaking his back.

“Guh!”

Tarand gets back quickly even after that smash.

Dan hops from left to right which looks sideways from Tarand’s point of view.

“I think you have gone too far! I will finish you off now!”

Tarand looks at Dan and says.

Dan stops at a spot and keeps his left leg on his right and smirks.

“That posture...Don’t tell me...”

Jack looks to have figured out something.

Tarand flies high in the sky. A dark ball, the same as Flesty’s is being created by Tarand. Tarand looks pissed and he is looking to send a huge ball at the stadium.

The ball slowly goes towards Dan and there is nowhere he can run.

“DAN! RUN!”

The ball consumes Dan with half of the arena.

“SHIT! DAN!”

“SIR DAN!”

Everyone looks to be concern about the situation except for Jack.

“That bastard...When the hell did he get that strong?”

XXXXX

“No way...Dan...”

Sam looks like he is about to break. So does everyone else.

“What are you guys upset for?”

Carly asks everyone.

“Eh?!”

Everyone looks confused.

“Dan is over there sleeping in that other half of the ring.”

Carly points at Dan who is calmly snoring.

“HUH?!!! WHO THE HELL WAS FIGHTING TARAND ALL THIS TIME?!”

Pears shouts.

XXXXX

Tarand looks at the arena where Dan is sleeping.

“If it wasn’t Dan who was fighting me...Who was that guy?”

Tarand looks confused.

*Smack*

A pole smashes Tarand’s head sending him flying to the ground out of the arena and the person who lands next to Tarand is none other than Luke.

“Luke?!”

Everyone looks confused.

“But how...?”

Tarand asks.

“It was quite a simple trick actually. Sir Dan was quite injured, so his fighting abilities weren’t up to his best. Everyone knew that. So when I woke up, I saw that Sir Dan was unconscious and Izumi was fighting you. I just used my illusion to become Sir Dan. I got Horrell to heal me instead of Dan. I didn’t want Sir Dan to fight with those injuries that he still has. Plus with my ability to see 5 seconds into the future, I was able to keep track of what you were about to do.”

Luke says as he holds a pole over his shoulder.

“But I saw you used the lightning ability that Dan uses!”

Sam says.

“It did seem that Sir Dan helped me a little. Even I was surprised with that attack.”

Luke says with a smile.

XXXXX

“With that, the winner of this competition is Dan’s team!”

Ulric smiles. He is looking at Dan who is surrounded by everyone.

XXXXX

Dan sits on a bed looking quite disappointed.

“I feel like I haven’t done jack shit in this whole tournament.”
