In the Ember Isles, it is already afternoon. Mr. Fushi Simon watches the sky through the window, his gaze calm yet distant. "It seems they're losing… and I can feel it. Those students are great… and they're so smart with strategy. It's better than just trying to win." He slowly grabs an old book titled Divine Warrior Vol 7, the worn cover reflecting years of knowledge.
"Paul Ereuos… the greatest Divine Warrior… many people now want his golden sword…"
Would the Reikosha students survive?
Is it impossible to defeat Himiko?
Mr. Fushi Simon already has the answer. With his genius mind, he understands exactly how to defeat Himiko. He has been working for over a million years. Since he was a child, he was always strange.
He never had a family, and all he ever did was observe people. No one knew he would be the one to discover the three main power systems Base Energies, Advanced Energies, and Forbidden Energies.
Since childhood, when he already had an IQ of 500, he spent his time reading novels and studying the world. Back then, Reishin was already rich, but now it has become even richer because of the warriors. He never sleeps… yet he is still alive. Why? Is he immortal? No… then why does he not feel pain like other old people do? It remains unknown.
Now, he is 2.4 million years old and possesses an IQ of 189,000, along with emotional intelligence, existential intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, interpersonal, linguistic, intrapersonal, naturalist, crystallized, analytical, psychological, fluid, and many more. He has no abilities, yet he creates ideas beyond human understanding.
When he was a teenager, he had heavy eye bags, always sitting on a bench, reading books and observing people, even observing himself. He once wondered, "Why are people afraid to show that they care?" He thought about it deeply. Is that a bad thing? Is it embarrassing? No, right? Because you are only showing that you care. If you pretend not to care, people will just hate you.
Mr. Fushi Simon understands many things, but love is something he cannot fully grasp. He knows it exists, but he cannot understand it. "Why do people cheat? Do they just want satisfaction?" he once wondered.
He noticed a child saying men are better than women. But there is no right or wrong in that, right? Why? Women were created differently, with different personalities. They are not toys. They feel fear too. So why are men better? No… no one is better. Both were created by God. God does not create conflict between genders. He made them equal, just different.
Mr. Fushi Simon stares at Divine Warrior Vol 7. His eyes pause on a certain page. He is strange, but he is kind… even funny. He often acts like an idiot, but in truth, he is a genius.
But the real question remains… who is the genius? Himiko or Mr. Fushi?
It seems easy… but it's not.
Himiko is something special. Her power does not belong to God… so where did it come from?
Himiko knows everyone's past, and the past is a person's greatest weakness. But what about Mr. Fushi's past? It is not sad. It is not a weakness. He enjoys growing old.
So does Mr. Fushi have no weakness?
The answer to who is smarter… Himiko or Mr. Fushi… is neither.
Back at Reikosha Academy, the world remains dark. Lady Chõko watches the battlefield, her face turning serious. "Damn, damn, damn… so sad for these students… besides, I can't use my Dimensional Cleave. It's going to drain my stamina…"
She wonders about Himiko. Who is this woman? Why is she different? She is not exactly overpowered, but her regeneration… that is something else. Her mind is even more terrifying. Lady Chõko laughs softly, realizing that Himiko tricked her with illusions. She couldn't even tell. Himiko's mind is completely different unreadable.
Shougo grunts as he watches the students fighting. May God save them… I can't… I can't let them do this. I have to protect them… they're just kids… just stop it… He clenches his fist tightly. If this woman doesn't stop… I will kill her. His students are exhausted, out of stamina. They haven't even begun to fully unlock their potential.
Kairo… I believe in you. Even if you're dumb… I know you can do it. I want your dream to come true.
Shougo slowly opens his fist, then bursts forward with speed. A black Spartan sword appears in his hand, fully restored. After the Warrior PvP, he asked Judas to fix it and she did.
He slowly straightens and looks at his students.
Suddenly, the clinic door bursts open.
Kimimaru stumbles out, breathing heavily, trying to stay steady. His expression remains calm despite everything.
Shougo's eyes widen. Kairo and the others turn and see him.
"I'll handle this lady."
"Maru…" Kairo says, concerned.
Kimimaru raises his zweihander, its massive blade reflecting the dim light. "Hey, lady! You won't dare hurt our sensei! You're just doing the wrong thing, and destroying the school is a bad idea."
Himiko raises an eyebrow, calm as ever. "I can do anything I want. I'm not here to destroy the world… I'm here to teach you a lesson. The world is fake."
Seiyan spits blood onto the grass and glares at her. "And what is that? What happens after you teach us?"
Himiko pauses slightly. "Well… it's interesting. But I'll help you realize everything. So surrender… or I continue."
Kimimaru steps forward. "Keep going, and we'll destroy you."
Meanwhile, inside the building, Hero leans against the wall, exhausted. His body trembles from fatigue, his breathing heavy. He glances at the clinic as the door slowly opens.
Yura steps outside.
She clenches her fist, unsure if she can handle it but she walks forward anyway.
Behind her, Judas, Tine, and Griffin watch with concern. But they trust her. Mr. Fushi Simon had sent a message to Griffin "Let Yura fight. She can handle it". At first, they doubted it, but they know Mr. Fushi is watching, even from the Ember Isles.
Shougo looks at Yura and smiles faintly. "I knew it… I trusted you… to be the leader…"
Hero smiles weakly, even in his exhausted state. Dracula notices Yura, his eyes widening slightly.
Kimimaru speaks calmly. "Ishika… now."
Ishika emerges from Kimimaru's skin smoothly, like slipping through a hidden layer, then instantly moves flowing from Kimimaru to Kairo, then to Reji, Seiyan, Dracula, and Tatsuo before finally entering Himiko. It happens in an instant.
Kimimaru raises his zweihander. "Astral Trapping."
Himiko freezes slightly, her movements lagging as Ishika manipulates her from within, disrupting her regeneration. Her eyes widen as she realizes what's happening.
Behind her, Yura is already in the air.
She descends with a powerful punch, her raw strength amplified, her aura colder than before. The impact sends Himiko crashing into the ground.
Yura doesn't stop.
She strikes again, and again, each punch heavier, faster, more precise, sending Himiko flying across the forest. The ground cracks, trees split, shockwaves ripple through the air.
Yura follows at inhuman speed.
She appears above, then strikes again, launching Himiko higher into the sky. Her face remains cold.
"I won't let you do that again… and if you do, I'll keep punching you for days."
Himiko's eyes widen.
Yura glances at the distant village and city, then bursts forward again, reappearing in front of Himiko in less than a second. Her punch sends Himiko crashing back down through the forest, creating a massive trail of destruction.
Himiko cannot regenerate. Ishika is controlling her skin, preventing healing, while Kimimaru's Astral Trapping locks her soul in place.
Back at the academy, everyone watches in shock.
Reji's eyes widen. Kairo, Hero, Seiyan, Tatsuo, and Dracula all stare in disbelief. Griffin adjusts his hat as a massive cloud of ash rises toward the school.
Suddenly
Himiko appears back in the yard.
Everyone freezes.
She is injured.
"You don't know… you can't stop me! I'm proving you all wrong! This world is fake!"
Kairo steps forward, anger in his eyes. "And how is it fake?! We're just living our lives we didn't do anything to you! And you're going to destroy us?!"
"I'm not… if you don't believe me… that's just pathetic…"
Yura appears in front of her instantly, her expression cold and unwavering.
She punches.
Himiko raises a divine shield but it shatters instantly.
Yura steps closer, her voice calm but heavy.
"Tell me… how is it fake?"
