"Rakan-Sensei!" Kagetaro shouted when he saw Rakan get hit by a very strong lightning magic attack from Negi, he knows that his teacher is very strong, but seeing the power level of Negi's lightning magic, Kagetaro realizes that no matter how strong Rakan is, it will be difficult for even someone as strong as Rakan to withstand such a powerful attack.
"Hey, Kagetaro! Don't let your guard down during the fight!"
While Kagetaro was worried about Rakan, Kotarou used Kuzoku Juka. To change his form to werewolf mode so he can beat Kagetaro as fast as possible.
Kotarou attacks Kagetaro and the shadow user has a hard time because he has to fight Kotarou who suddenly gets stronger all of a sudden.
Meanwhile Rakan is completely unharmed after receiving Negi's lightning attack because he protects his body using Ki.
He is kneeling right now while holding his head which has become dizzy as a side effect of Negi's attack.
"Uugh that attack was quite devastating," Rakan said. "Ordinary high-level wizards would have been completely crushed if they had been hit by that attack just now. You're not holding back at all you brat!"
"I'm not done yet, Rakan-san!" Negi shouted who appeared behind Rakan's body while touching his body and chanting a spell for the next attack.
"Ooi Ooi Ooi are you serious, attacking me from that close range!" Rakan said who was amazed to see Negi who had suddenly appeared behind him.
"Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens Zero Distance!"
Rakan was hit by a lightning storm magic attack from a very close range, while Kagetaro's body was thrown to the ground because of his fight with Kotarou.
The entire audience in the arena became tense and shocked because they had absolutely no idea that Jack Rakan of the thousand swords and his student could be taken down like that.

After using Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens, Negi's Raiten Taisou is deactivated by itself to save manpower and energy. Negi knows that Rakan is very strong in terms of attack and defense and normal attacks won't work on Rakan, so he uses Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens at very close range which he believes is at least strong enough to beat Rakan.
[Dooown! The two members of Team Rakan Down! No one could have guessed this! No one other than the Thousand Master could make the thousand swords kiss the ground! Is participant Nagi really are the reincarnation of the Thousand Master!? Since the two members of Team Rakan weren't moving at the moment, the countdown would soon begin. Because this is part of the ethical tradition of ancient knights, namely victory is obtained if all opponents are dead, surrendered, or unable to fight. Participants who are unconscious or down will count to twenty to see if the fighter can still fight or not! So let's start the count!]
"Ne-Negi-kun managed to take down Rakan-san!?" Konoka said who was surprised to see the result of the fierce battle.
"Negi/Sensei won?" Asuna and Konoka said.
In one of the VIP rooms
"Uwooo those two boys, I didn't expect that they managed to take down Rakan! Was Rakan off guard at this time!" Ricardo said, who had no idea that Rakan could be taken down.
"It's impossible for my husband to be lose that easily," Theodora said, who could only remain silent as she saw her husband being dropped. "That kind of attack won't work against, Jack whose body will reflexively create a Ki shield if his body feels danger, surely Jack is pretending he can't move right now. And soon he will definitely wake up in a villain style. Jack loves dramatic action and he would definitely do just that!"
"You know your husband very well, Theodora," Ricardo said who could understand that Rakan would definitely do everything Theodora said.
"He is my husband Ricardo," Theodora said. "Of course I know all thing about him."

[Rakan, the hero unexpectedly went down! The countdown to twenty will begins!]
The sound of a countdown that sounded very mechanical like a robot began. And at the same time Negi felt tense because he knew that Rakan would not be taken down so quickly.
[Kagetaro isn't moving either, it seems that participant Kojirou's attack is quite deep!]
"Oii Negi, he is down your plan is success," Kotarou said while floating in the air using his wolf fire that he released through his legs.
""Yeah, I was also surprised to see my plan running smoothly," Negi said while trying to catch his breath because he was exhausted.
"The greatest veteran like Rakan, whose have great combat experience are almost impossible to trap, we can't match him either," Kotarou said, who was just as tired as Negi because he combined Magia Erebea with his werewolf transformation technique.
"Even if we both have mastered Magia Erebea and are getting stronger very fast there is no way we who are only ten years old can match Rakan. The only way to match Rakan is to press him with speed, strength and performance!"
"Yeah, but there's no way he's going to be defeated that easily, Kotarou," Negi said. "So we must prepare for the worst situation!"
In the ViP room where Ricardo, Seras, Eva and Theodora's clones are.
"I never thought that Negi could do the same thing as Shirou in just a few months in that magic diorama. Plus he can create lightning speed Shundong," Seras said who was surprised by the results of Negi's training. "That kid is really extraordinary, he's not as talented as his older brother in fighting and martial arts. But it's clear that Negi's IQ surpasses Shirou's."
"Well, because normally what that boy accomplished wouldn't be possible in a few months' time," Ricardo said with a smile. "I want to put him in the magic development department of mine, Negi Springfield son of Nagi, it's really terrible."
.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How about it, Negi? Let's finish it? Our reputation among the audience will decrease, but don't break the rules," Kotarou said.
"Wait a minute, it will be dangerous if we approach it unprepared," Negi said who looked tense and the count was almost twenty.
And sure enough on the count of nineteen suddenly Rakan woke up. And Rakan's rise made everyone who saw him feel afraid.
[Aaah! He-Stand up! Rakan's are back! As if nothing happened! Rakan doesn't seem to have any injuries!]
Rakan then started laughing loudly and Rakan's laughter scared everyone in the arena.
Then after that Rakan's face started to look serious and a terrible aura started to come out of Rakan's body to the point where Negi and Kotarou's bodies trembled.
Rakan starts to take a stance, and Negi and Kotarou are about to use Magia Erebea once more. But as soon as Negi and Kotarou had finished using Magia Erebea, suddenly their bodies were thrown into the air because of a punch from Rakan who appeared before Negi and Kotarou and then he hit Negi and Kotarou using super hard punches.
Kotarou's body was pierced by the shadow spear from the recovered Kagetaro then the spear turned into ribbons and pulled Kotarou's body to the ground. Negi manages to get away from Rakan by using a lightning speed Shundong.
But suddenly Rakan was behind Negi and once again hit Negi's body very hard.

"Sigh, Negi's power level is really different from Rakan's so it's impossible for that brat to beat him. But I admit shundong lightning speed coupled with lightning changes is something innovative," Rin said who was amazed to see Negi's achievements. "That boy's creativity in making new magic is terrible, almost on par with me."
"Yeah, but it's a shame Negi's fighting instincts are really bad," Arturia said with a sigh. "If only he had better fighting instincts, maybe that lightning speed shundong could be maximized, and not just wasted. He will have to add to the amount of experience he has in combat if he is to make better use of the technique."
"That Negi is basically a researcher type, and not a fighter type. So I think it's only natural that he has bad fighting instincts," Shirou said. "Being able to become that strong in such a short time is already a miracle in my opinion, his hard work and dedication in becoming strong is commendable."
