As soon as the team finals began, each of them felt the ground under their feet shake as if they had just experienced an earthquake. The ground under their feet began moving as four giant walls were formed around each pair of people who were supposed to fight.

Each pair of matches was enclosed inside the walls that created a room and isolated each person from their opponent.

The first match was Toki against a big, muscular guy. He seemed to have some kind of super durability, where hammers and objects would mostly just bounce off his skin. Blades didn't scratch him, let alone kill him, and so Toki's' dagger was rendered useless.

As Toki got in close and tried to stab him for the first time, he ended up breaking his dagger, which he had been using for a while. Before he could process that, the man grabbed him by his throat and slammed him into a nearby wall, crashing him through the wall and dragging him on it. After which, he tossed the Toki to the other side.

Toki ended up breaking more bones than he'd like to admit, honestly. He was still not over Dustin's death and had been blaming himself for it, but Jack's words rang clear in his ears. Dustin didn't die, so Toki could just throw his own life away like this. He would live, if not for himself, to value Dustin's sacrifice.

Just as Toki thought this, he looked at the man in front of him, knowing his weapons would never get through his steel skin normally. Toki activated his skill as a white light pillar shot down from the sky, freezing the muscular man in his place.

Just then he ran with his broken ribs and jumped onto the man's face, making sure he was close to him before using his hypersonic scream in the man's face, screaming with all the anger and letting out all he was holding in his ears and nose. In normal situations, someone would have simply exploded, but due to his extreme durability, the man only started bleeding from the ears and nose, as Toki wanted. A smile crept up on the vampire's face as he manipulated the blood into tiny spears, launching them inward as they pierced the man's brain, and he fell on his back with Toki standing over his dead body, breathing heavily.

“I…am…not gonna…fucking….die,” he said while breathing heavily as he fell down on his back as well.

Meanwhile, in another box, Hana was fighting a high schooler with the ability to control the earth up to a certain extent. Rocks and boulders were his playing field as he pulled up a rock from the ground and threw it at Hana.

Hana had all this time held back most of her powers just for the sake of creating an element of surprise in the singles matches. But due to her selfishness, someone had died, and she had no intention of holding back anymore.

Her green hair started growing longer as she sighed. Her hair rose up and caught the boulder coming towards her while she simply walked forward. The boy, seeing this, panicked as he then conjured multiple boulders to crash down on her, but her green hair caught every single one of those boulders and crushed them.

As she got close enough, her hair tied itself around the boy's neck, lifting him off the ground. She looked at him with frustrated eyes, but she saw the kid crying, trying to free himself. He didn't want to die like this. For a second, she saw a glimpse of her own brothers while looking at the boy. “Please….” The kid begged for his life with whatever strength he had left as she unwrapped her hair from around his neck while he fell to the ground. Jack's words rang clear in her ears, which frustrated her the most. She really didn't remember how many people she had killed. She called Jack a monster, but she wasn't any better either. She pulled out a cigarette as she lit it and started smoking again.

As for Jack's match, perhaps he had been paired with the worst enemy. The person with the eyepatch had one of the most bullshit powers he had ever seen. Anyone that man saw with his covered eye could be set on fire. It only worked on living things as well. So as the man started to lift his blindfold, Jack did what he could and rolled his cards. Ending up on a 9 of hearts.

As Jack's whole body was set ablaze, he screamed. He screamed as hard as he could, as it hurt like hell. His whole body was on fire, goddammit, and his skin kept healing and burning at the same time. It hurts so much that he wasn't sure he could even move. The man with the eyepatch laughed maniacally while watching Jack burn.

Jack gritted his teeth and suddenly heard a familiar voice that brought him warmth even among the sea of flames. “Be greedy, Jack, '' his grandpa's voice told him. He almost forgot that humans are strong not just because they are strong but because they never give up. It might hurt like hell right now, but if he doesn't keep trying, he will fail. He cannot afford to fail.

He couldn't move, so he forced his body to move forward as he took a step forward. The man in the suit simply watched in horror as the man, who was completely on fire, walked towards him one step at a time. He stepped back, sweating. He was scared because whatever that thing was, it wasn't something he could deal with. "WW, whwta the fuck are you?” The man yelled at Jack, throwing whatever weapons and knives he had at him as they stabbed him. Instead of avoiding, he simply stepped forward while pulling out the knives and daggers from his body as the wounds closed within seconds. The man looking at the scene fell down, fearing for his life. “What kind of monster are you?”

"Human,” Jack said as he looked the man in the eye. Jack's whole body burned and healed at the same time; his whole body was covered in flames, so what the man was seeing right now was a walking flame in the shape of a human with two red eyes piercing through the flames looking at him.

Jack didn't waste any time and used all his strength to kick the man in that moment. The man was sent flying through the walls as he crashed through into the next room with Hana and onto a wall inside.

Hana, who was surprised by this turn of events, looked at the man and suddenly heard the boy scream. She turned her attention towards the hole in the wall as a flame of human shape with red eyes walked out towards the man, grabbed him by the head, and smashed his head into the ground so hard that the only thing that was left were parts of his brain around the ground. As the man died, his skill ended, and the flames slowly went away, revealing Jack in his normal form as he sighed.

Hana, who had been looking at this all while sweating, made one thing clear in her mind. ‘No, he definitely is the monster..’
