Chapter 10:

Who is this new Challenger?

Second Chance At Life


What is this magick?

Watching Jennifer's attack affect him was terrifying.

My arms and legs are trembling to the core.

I want to run, but I can’t.

He walks up to her before extending his arm towards her face.

“Touch me and I will kill you.”

"No need. Your kicks bore me. You will not forget this power; you're not even worthy as my opponent…"

I knew I had to do something.

This is not Tsubasa.

Tsubasa respects his opponent.

I control the earth beneath my feet to create a ball.

“Keep that dirt back where it came from, Anthony. Unless you want to switch places—”

He slaps his own face.

“Oh? You’re finally awake.”

“Can you give my body back?”

“You think I would easily do that after I have finally awakened?”

Tsubasa nods.

“You’re not taking this seriously, aren’t you? Your friend here is going to die. One flick of my hand, and she just disappears!”

“Can you give my body back so that doesn’t happen?”

Tsubasa grins.

“You can have this body as soon as I annihilate he—”

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

He came out of nowhere, appearing in the blink of an eye.

Dressed in a red-and-black jester outfit and a pointy hat, the masked man appears fairly confident standing next to Tsubasa.

He even rests his elbows on Tsubasa’s shoulders, unfazed by the dark aura manifesting.

“Oh? And who are you?”

The masked jester rolls his head over to Tsubasa.

“Someone you can’t beat.”

“A new challenger, huh?”

Kaito tries to stand up, but the jester stares at him.

“Don’t even think about it, Kaito-boy.”

It’s surprising that Kaito would listen to a clown.

Perhaps it’s a warning.

“Alright, young lady, I suggest you start running now! This is going to be very ug—”

Tsubasa attacks him, but the jester swiftly catches it.

Jennifer wastes no time and hurries to us.

“Hey, that’s rude! I didn’t finish what I was saying to her!”

“You talk too much, jester!”

“Don’t you know laughter is the best medicine?”

He pushes Tsubasa away from him.

Before Tsubasa is able to recover, a combination of punches approaches him.

He’s unbelievably fast.

The pummeling strikes leaves no room for Tsubasa to recover.

When he stops the relentless beating, Tsubasa tries to throw a punch.

The challenger catches it and throws his opponent over his shoulders.

Laughter fills the air as Tsubasa picks himself from the ground.

“You’re pretty good! It looks like I found my match!”

Tsubasa digs deep into the earth.

“Let’s see how you deal with—”

He pauses, then grins.

“Looks like I haven’t had complete control over this body yet!”

Tsubasa falls into his knees, panting in exhaustion.

“Wow, isn’t that amazing? So you do have control!”

He calmly approaches the exhausted Tsubasa.

“My name’s Akimitsu Yakumo!”

“Yakumo? Then that means you’re…” Tsubasa asks.

“That’s right. I am related to Kaito. But not really!”
