When Negi was busy thinking whether he had won or not. Suddenly there was a fist that hit him right in the face, so that Negi's body was thrown to the side about twenty meters.
And the one who hit Negi from the side was Rakan, who was once again on his feet after Negi hit him with enough high level magic attacks to kill an ordinary high level magician countless times.
The thunder god Titanoktonon's spear that was still stuck in his stomach he easily pulled out and then he destroyed it with just one firm grip from his left hand.
"You made a fatal mistake by not making sure if I was dead or alive," Rakan said whose left hand was still smoking because he had just crushed Titanoktonon with his bare hands. "But you can beat me up like this, well done boy! You make me proud for being able to make me use twenty percent of my true strength!"
'Impossible! Even if he only used twenty percent of his true strength even then, the strike of the titanoktonon divine spear, should be enough to at least knock him unconscious even if not enough to kill him. Actually how much endurance he has to surpass all my calculations!'
Negi was confused by the abnormality before his eyes. He had calculated everything very accurately, what he had to do to defeat Rakan. He even went so far as to do battle simulations many times using illusion magic to ensure that the thing he prepared against Rakan was enough to at least make Rakan unconscious for a while.
But for a freak of nature like Rakan, calculations performed with any accuracy were useless. Because he is only opposed by other natural oddities like Nagi or Shirou.
Meanwhile in the air, the Succubuss who was the referee of the match was left gaping at Rakan who got up again even though he had confirmed beforehand that Rakan had fainted using the referee's special tool.
'How come he can still get up and stand like that, huh. Even though the attack just now was terrible!'

"Oh my gosh that muscular daruma is a cockroach," Eva clone said while frowning. "I myself would lose a lot of energy to survive and heal from that brat's crazy barrage of attacks. It's actually me or that brawny daruma that's immortal!"
."Ra-Rakan has received an attack equal to two thousand thunderbolts yet how can she still stand like that!" Ricardo shouted who was as shocked as the Eva Clone. "H-He's a real human, isn't he!?"
"Yeah, well, even I, as his wife, sometimes questioning that," Theodora said, who was once again amazed by the crazy things that Rakan could achieve. "He was able to rise again like that not because of great determination and self-confidence, but because his body was abnormal from birth plus all the battles he did caused him to have a body that is as resistant as a cockroaches."
"You must be gaping open every time he shows crazy things with his abnormal physique, isn't it Theodora-Sama?" Asked Seras.
"Sigh, I'm already used to it," Theodora could only sigh while answering Seras' question. Because she no longer knew how to react to the madness shown by Rakan. "Even my son also exhibited the same physical symptoms when he was born, so it's no longer strange for me to see any oddities my son will show in the future."
[Revive! This is indeed hard to believe! But Rakan the hero who was considered defeated before, can still rise again! How will this match end!?]
'Urrgh people who can fight on par against father and Shirou-Nii are indeed unusual, calculation and logic won't apply to people like Shirou-Nii, father and also Rakan-san,' Negi said. 'And the most illogical thing is that he was able to stand up after receiving a strike from the thunder god's spear that could defeat a level S monster! Rakan, Father, Shirou-Nii, you three are truly extraordinary people. I finally realized that the power that you guys possess isn't one that comes solely from talent and bloodline.
But the power of effort and hard work honed in a long time. Apparently this is what Rakan-san wanted to show. The instant power I got from training in the magic diorama and by using Magia Erebea wouldn't be enough to allow me to reach S Level.
Only by practicing in the right way can I reach S Level. Apparently this is what Rakan-san wanted to show and teach me in this battle.'

"Boy, do you want to continue this fight, or do you want to give up" Rakan said. "Because I know that just standing up is really hard for you. And you don't even have enough magic energy to use fireball which is the most basic attack spell. If you are determined to continue fighting with me, you might damage the magic core in your body and even Elixir will not be able to repair the broken magic core."
"Hosh, hosh, hosh, I give up" Negi said breathlessly. "Like you said just now I no longer have a chance of winning, since my magic energy is already very thin, being able to stand like this is already a miracle for me. So it would be better for me to give up this fight than to hurt my body even more."
"Heh, good decision boy," Rakan said with a smile. "A good fighter knows when to back down and give up, you're already a fighter who knows what's important in a fight, well done boy! It seems you have realized what I want to tell you in this fight!"
Negi fell to the ground, after Rakan said that. One confession from Rakan about himself being a good fighter is something more worthed than winning a fight. And because Negi was satisfied with the results he was able to achieve in the fight against Rakan. So after being satisfied the pain and fatigue in his body took over and finally Negi fainted and fell.
[Nagi fell right after he said that he gave up in this final battle! With this the final result of the final match of Nagi Grandpix is clear! The winner of the Nagi Grandprix will be the Rakan and Kagetaro groups!]
"Oh my, what a troublesome brat," Rakan said who sat down on the ground as he also felt tired. "Restraining myself from using more than twenty percent of my strength is no easy feat, if I let my guard down one bit I could kill those two brats!"

"Aaahn what a shame Negi-kun lost!" Konoka said who looked sad to see Negi's defeat. "Even though I already placed a bet that Negi-kun will win! Uggh that sucks! Why can't Rakan-Ojii-san just give up in this fight!"
"Konoka, if that muscular daruma gives in, Negi will feel humiliated you know!" Asuna said. "He holds back his strength until only using twenty percent is good for Negi, if he is serious one hundred percent Negi might die in an instant."

"That uncle named Rakan defeated Negi-kun who was already fighting with all his might! This is really hard to accept! Even though Negi-kun has fought really well!" Makie said who couldn't accept Negi's defeat just like Konoka. "Even though Negi-kun is already like the main protagonist in Shonen Manga!"
"Makie, an uncle named Rakan is a veteran fighter who became a hero in the war twenty years ago so how can Negi-kun win against that uncle," Yuuna said. "After all Negi-kun is probably like the main character of a Shonen manga in looks and body. But I guess the main protagonist in this world is Shirou-kun. Considering that so far the actions that Shirou-kun has taken are actions that are generally performed by the main character from Shonen manga."
"Uugh I hate to admit it but what you said is very true," Makie said who looked depressed at the moment. "Shirou-kun is more like the main character from Shonen manga than Negi-kun!"
"Well, even so I feel confused why it wasn't Shirou-kun who fought in the final match and Negi-Sensei instead," Yuuna said. "That's very strange in my opinion."
